My Labour Story
It started out with a normal gynae appointment checkup and im like 37weeks 3 days? or is it 4 days.. Went to the clinic.. waited to see Dr Ang and did ultrascan on baby. Baby was 3.3kg and was in a good position for a 3d scan.. Did the 3d scan, gotten her picture and she looked so cute in it and was very worried on the size of the baby as usually babies above 3.5kg will have to go for C-section.
Asked Dr Ang for his opinon if i induce. Dr Ang told me that baby weight is very good and im already 37weeks+ thus is not a problem if i induce.And if i induce, because he have spare pills so he will cover the charge of $100 per pill if i go to tmc to induce. That means my induction will be FOC.
If inducing fails after 2 pills, its either i go for drip , if the drip doesnt work and i end up have c-section, the price will be like C-sec+Natural labour cost Or direct C-sec after 2 pills which means that only c-sec amount will be calculated.
Dr Ang was very nice to explain to me in detail and told me to consider and let him know while we went for lunch. In the end, i decided to be induced as this pregnancy was too hard on me and its taking a physical and mentally strain on my body. We went back to the clinic and Dr Ang stuffed the pill deep inside and i waited a while before my contractions start.. Before stuffing in the pills, Dr Ang told me to trust him that he can get my gates to open as in cervix to open for a success..
He later told his nurse to do CTG for me and i had to lie still on my back.. And i have this problem throughout my whole pregnancy is that my back will have a very incredibly backache if i lie on my back.The nurse made me lie on my back for like 15mins? And im not allowed to lie on my side. My tears started filling up shortly as its even 1000x more painful than contractions.. Then she said, now you know the pain of being a mummy ar. Do you regret it..
Im like omg its the backache that is killing me and hubby explained then she understand.. lol. So i went home after that to bath before heading to the hospital and contractions started to be more constant. After doing registeration and warded.
Me with my bear waiting for Rislin`s Arrival while hubby went and buy drinks.
My contractions was almost non existant at that point of time. At night, Dr Ang came to check on me and im only 1cm dilated. He stuffed a 2nd pill in and thats when the contractions become even more intense than he first did.
At 10plus pm, i started to have intense contractions. I kept vomiting cause of the pain and started moaning a little.. I begged for pain killer from the nurse but they said that the contractions pain, no pain killer can curb it and only injection can help but only when its at the labour room.So i endured all the way till 1am, and the time seem to pass so slow and they wheeled me to observation ward. The nurse there checked my cervix and its still only 1cm dilated. It made me so worried. Im so scare of C-section. Im so scared to be cut up.
The nurse was also very rude, as i was in pain, and with my backache problem i cant lie straight and she forced me to lie straight and scolded me a few times and she told me to took off the panties to check the cervix, i placed my panties on the floor and i got scolded for it.. Like what the xyz? Am i suppose to put it beside my face then?
Meanwhile i keep on have the feeling to pass motion. I keep running in and out of the toilet wobbly as i was in pain and no matter how i force to pass motion. I just cant seem to get it out..Kinda gross i know. I was then wheeled back to my ward and as contractions gotten more and more intense, i started to moan and roll left and right flinging my self to the side ways.
I pressed the bell and the nurse came in to bring me to labour ward. She wanted to help me up but i was in intense pain till i curled up at a side and with every contraction start, i fling myself right and left and only when contractions is not so bad, i quickly sit on to the wheelchair and she wheeled me to observation ward at 3am. On the way i keep vomitting. I felt so horrible.
At observation ward, the rude nurse that attended to me previously checked my cervix again and i was finally 8cm dilated. she then did ctg for me again and pushed me to the labour ward. While pushing, i was so painful that i keep lifting up my leg and kicking as well as flinging myself to the sides, she kept scolding me and when i stable to just kicking, she put her items on my leg and i cant help kicking and moaning as the contractions were super intense. I go like oh my god oh my god.. Then she started scolding me and saying oh my god oh my god stop moving, all my things is dropping..
And everytime i lift up the leg, she slapped my leg down and the other nurse tell her to stop doing it and while wheeling me to labour ward, she cant get pass through a few bed, she forcefully pull my bed while cursing..
I didnt know what they are going to do to me till im at labour ward and i asked her if i can call my husband. She then scolded me saying that hes not going to make it and why didnt i tell her earlier. Me as a first time mum..How would i know what to expect?
shortly after im in labour ward, she took her own sweet time to prepare the things and i started to scream in pain. I begged for injection or pain killer again then, she jab a jab at my butt. But guess it was too late, it wasnt taking any effect at all and she also passed me laughing gas but no matter how i inhale, i was feeling the full blast of the contractions.
While waiting for them to do their things at their own pace, i was pushing and i just keep pushing all the way ignoring them to tell me to stop. Because it hurt so bad and i dont know what im doing, all i know is i want to get her out. Dr Ang soon arrived and told me that we need to get her out fast. Before i know it, i was snipped (episotomy) and baby was vaccuumed. They told me to push somemore and with a few pushes, Rislin is out.. They quickly put her in my arms and use the tube thingy to suck inside her mouth. They then take her away to clean up.. She came out at around 3.40am
While waiting Dr Ang stitched me up till almost ending, i went with a OUCH. And he then jab me with a pain killer i think? And i didnt feel any pain when he continue stitching. But its very scary seeing him stitching and pulling the string infront of me and his face is splattered with my blood. Super horror movie.. Lol..
Me with Baby at the labour room.. Proud mummy.. Loved the feeling when i pushed and her head and shoulders came out follow by her body.. Felt a huge accomplishment after that.
Im wheeled into my ward shortly, i had to wait till 8 am till i finally see my little princess..
