Labor Stories

Read through Jessie’s Blog about this new blog for all mummies who went through their labor experience and I’m interested to share my experience too here.

My weddding was on 8 November 2004. Hubby and I planned to have baby after our honeymoon in Shanghai (Feb 2005). I’m pregnant in May 2005 and my due date was on 11 February 2006. I can still remembered that day was Hari Raya Haji.

On 26 Jan 2006, when back to clinic to have normal checking, but my ob-gynae said that I was 1cm dilated. He asked me if I had contraction or bleeding tonight then admit to hospital directly else tomorrow morning. I’ve cried in front of my MIL and my mother when I told them that I will give birth tomorrow as I’m so scared and nervous. I can see my MIL tears in her eyes as she’s worried about me, somemore she has a very painful experience before.  Nothing happened that night, but I getting worried and worried. I can’t sleep through out the night and only wait for tomorrow.

The next day after having breakfast with hubby, then we went to hospital and registered for admittion. The nurses asked me to change the clothes given by her and stayed in the labour room. Luckily my hubby stayed with me the whole day. Around 11am, the nurse gave me induce pill and I waited there for contraction. After 2 hours, I didn’t feel any contraction or pain, then I have another induce pill. The nurse kept on checking me but I still can’t feel anything. Having lunch and tea break in the labour room. At around 5pm, my ob-gynae came to checked on me, I was only 4cm dilated. Then he broke my water burst, and I really can’t feel any sign of pain too. Around 7pm, the nurse called anesthetist to give me an epidural.

Hubby and I just stayed in the labour room and wait. I shaked like hell on the bed, coz of the effect of the epidural. At 9pm, the nurse called my ob-gynae came because my baby heart beat getting slower. At that time, I really scared and worried, finally I cried. After 15 minutes, my ob-gynae came and checked, he said can see my baby’s head. He asked the nurses get prepare coz baby will out soon. Thought to take some photos, but at that time my hubby so busy to hold my hands and head, no hands and time to take photos. After a few pushed, my baby was out, and I can really see my baby….

He’s born on 27 January 2006 at 9.54pm. Hard to describe the happiness once you see your baby out. Only those who had gave birth then really they can feel it.
