the day when Ryan arrives
Ryan is 2 mths old by now, but still i would like to recap the day when he arrives..
The expected due date for Ryan to arrive was 26/06/10 and I started my maternity leave 1 week before 26th. I waited for the day at home accompanied by my sis.. however day by day pass and there's no news yet till 26th. Then my gynae suggested for induced delivery.
At first, I would worry how would Ryan calls for his arrival.. tummy contraction? waterbag break? or bleeding? in the end, there's no drama for that circumstances to happen. Indeed, hubby no need to take urgent leave, I calmly took the hot shower, prepared everything well , took the cab and we report to hospital TMC on the day given by gynae. Since there's no "ganjiong spider" scene to happen, everything just came in planned. my mind and heart is just as calm to go through all the procedure.
3.00pm - check in TMC, changed n wait at observation room
3.20pm - induced with 2 tablets, a bit pain when the midwife insert the tablets.
baby heartbeats monitoring
4.30pm - check into the 2-bedded ward which upgraded from booked 4-bedded room
mild menstrual cramp starts
5.30pm - Dinner. finish all in order to have enough strength later
menstrual cramp continues n starts bleeding
8.00pm - went back to observation room for baby heartbeats monitoring
for the rest i can't remember the timing as i need to concentrate with the contractions!
Then finally i see my gynae. I'm still able to cope with the cramp by the time he checks on me. He suddenly burst my waterbag by barely using his finger. oooOOhh.. i felt the warm water just flowing out uncontrollably. I was also given antibiotic as body temperature was high. Gynae pat my knee and said "dun worry, everything is alright, it's 3cm now" before he left. okay.. my cervix is 3cm now and i still need to wait till it's 10cm for labour.
right after that, i was being pump by duno wat liquid for my bowel clearing 通便. I think i sat inside the toilet for 30mins and that's the time when my contractions become more frequent. When I'm back on bed, i was given dripping for the increment of womb contraction. Within that 1 hour, my contractions become sharper and sharper.. oh .. i'm getting unbearable.
I can't take the pain anymore and decided to go for epidural. I read the paper and signed with my shaking hand. oh dear.. the pains are just too PAINFUL.. how long am I going to wait for the epidural? the midwife said.. "mummy.. the doctor is on his way now"
When there's 1 pain that i feel something is pushing out from my bottom, i screamed out and hubby called for midwife. The midwives immediately checked on me, she hold my hand and told me gently.. "Mummy, we can't wait for epidural already, baby is coming out"
WHAT !!
"har.. I'm so scared...."
"Don't worry Mummy, listen to me, you can do it. just breath and blow now"
I was given the laughing gas. I hold the gas mask with my own, I groan.. breath.. blow.. praying myself while my bed was being push to labour ward. I dunno how do I react at that time, i was keep reminded by midwife to breath in and blow out... the laughing gas made me blur and unclear what is going on... but i know i keep groaning .. "i'm scared .. i'm cold .. i can't hear you". Every contraction come I tends to push out but the midwife reminded me to relax while waiting for gynae to arrive. she inserted her finger in my opening to prevent my further tear.
then I heard "doctor is here"... my both legs are immediately lifted up to each side. Gynae want me to push when the next contraction come. with 1 hand holding the gas mask, the other hand grabbing my own thigh, i'm preparing for the push.. the 1st push.. not good enough.. 2nd push.. I tried my very best. Immediately, i heard the loud baby crying..
uh.. give birth alr? I opened my eyes and saw my boy was put on top of my tummy! He is crying loud! the midwife clear up the water in his mouth while clipping his umbilical cord. Then he was carried away, i continue with the laughing gas, a warm discharge from opening.. while i continue to breath hardly, i know gynae is doing the stitch for me.. slowly.. my conscious started to black out.. i feel the surrounding is dark.. the only thing i can hear is the crying sound of my baby. few seconds later, the brightness come in and i regain my conscious.. i realised it's over now.
Oohh.. i just went through the pain and given birth. I did it!! I told myself.
the whole thing is just too fast~ from the waterbag burst till labour just took 3hrs plus. I'm really lucky that I did not need to bear for the pain for long hours.
After Ryan was cleaned and with his measurements taken.. he was finally put beside me. He is so quiet now compared to his loud crying just now. he was wrapped and put beside me while both of us was being trolley to his nursing ward and my ward.
A sleepless night for me. The pain from below and tummy still there and the labouring is just so vivid in my mind. I wish the dawn to come quickly as most importantly.. i wan to see my baby~~
A stunning day for both myself and hubby as he stood by my side the whole labouring.
There marks the beginning of our parenthood days.
