The Delivery Day
Finally I am gonna pen down the Delivery Day of Baby Rachelle...
Didn't really wanna write about the story as I was quite horrified by the process that I had baby blues for quite some time..
18th July 2013
I was supposed to go for my checkup with the gynae at 11am so as usual, I was lazing in bed with Noona. Heard a 'pop' sound at about 9plus and I was thinking if it was a symptom of waterbag bursting as I have been reading on D-day stories online to past time :) A very big mistake as I was freaking myself out every night... haha...
Back to topic... I stood up and wanted to go bath and prepare for the checkup when I felt water gushing out from you know where.... OMG feeling!!! Called the husband immediately and gotten him to meet me at the gynae... I took a quick bath and went to clinic where it was confirmed that waterbag burst... me insisted to go to Macdonalds for breakfast before proceeding back home to do some final packing and off to Mount A for arrival of Baby Rachelle...
So far everything sounds ok right? We reached the hospital at about 1plus and I was lead to the delivery suite... changed into the gown and lucky me didn't went through the clearing of bowels as I told the nurse that I poo twice before admitting in... oops... too much details... Dr Phua came and did a VE check which I wanted to kick him in his face as it was freaking painful... now I know my pain tresh... he insisted on inducing me which lead me to my first fear... needles and drips... I requested for the laughing gas when I did not have any contractions yet but I am stressed out by the needle so heh heh... Breath in breath out... super high that I didn't feel the needle going in... lol!!
After about 10mins, the medication kicks in and that was when the contractions starts slow and steady... still bearable and I was still joking about with the husband asking him to try the gas... haha... he went NUMB!! Think about 30mins went and the horrible contractions came in fast and close and that was when I told the husband that I am giving in to my another fear, the epidural as I felt that I was going to go crazy from the pain... seriously whoever that tells me natural childbirth is not painful is gonna get a kick from me!! Basically only my hair is not painful! haha...
Waited for the Doctor to come and it was when I broke down and cry as I was too afraid and they told the husband to leave the room to make it easier for them to administer the jab on me.... same process goes on the gas and I was so high that I keep hearing the V for Vitegen song in my ears... haha... I remember me junping out halfway through the epidural jab and gotten a scolding from the doctor... dunno what happen was I was super high... this is the most sad part as my epidural didn't work... I could feel every contraction coming in and even the insertion of the urine bag was sooooooo pain... i had requested for higher dosage as I could feel all the pain and move my toes but the nurses were just telling me that they need check with Dr Phua... the truth is that Baby Rachelle has poo in my tummy and was in stress so they weren't comfortable to increase my dosage... wasted my $450!!! The nurses did the VE from time to time and I was only like 6cm to 7cm dilated...
Dr Phua came at about 6plus after me in pain for like 4 hours and did another VE... his VE is always so bloody pain... his words to the husband is that I am only 6cm dilated and it is a must to do emergency c-sect... OMG!!! I was like crying non stop and holding on to the husband's hand telling him I don't want but do you think I have a choice?? The only choice I made was that I wasn't a GA C-sect as the epidural is not working and I do not want to scare myself further by going for edidural c-sect... I remembered I cried all the way from the delivery suite to the operations suite and the doctors had to calm me down before they can do anything to me....
So at about 7plus, Baby Rachelle was born!!!!
The worse was the pain when they pull a tube out from my throat... damn it!
Thank you Kejie for being there and thank you God for the beautiful child...
The post operation I shall not blog about it was it was a terrible and scary journey...
Now I have a one child policy!!!!
