the endo*** thing is endo for short lorh. easier lah. haha. It's not the sole cause, but getting pregnant is one way to get rid of it. But that's when it becomes a catch 22 / chicken or egg situation. Anyway, you've got it removed, so things are more positive now.

my birth story
It all started on 5 Dec 2007, Wednesday.
I was on MC that day. Spent the day at home, re-decorating the home and clearing some stuff (strong nesting instinct). Decided to meet up with the husband for dinner at Causeway Point, despite the VERY VERY heavy rain. <font color="0000ff">(I'm mad right?)</font> Took a bus there (the bus was SUPER crowded, but the driver was nice. He made other passengers give up seat to me before he drove off.)
we had dinner at Siam Kitchen, and I was planning to finish up the ice cream at home for dessert. After dinner, it was a trip to NTUC to get some stuff. Went home, had some coconut juice (supposed to be good for "cleansing" the baby - and it really works!).
Then....at 3am (early hours of 6 Dec), I started vomitting really badly. Baby was moving quite a lot. The rest of the day went by, with both of us down with the runs. It was scary. I mean, baby is due the next day! and this has to happen now??
So the husband took me to the hospital on the night of 6 Dec. <font color="0000ff">(yes yes, I waited till night of 6 Dec, and not immediately - in denial I guess)</font> I felt really weak (after the runs) the whole day. Kept wondering how I'd have the energy to push shd baby come out then. I was strapped to the CTG and baby's heartbeat was monitored. Hmmmm, heartbeat still VERY strong. Good! We decided that it was best to admit into KKH for monitoring, in case baby decides to come out that night, and especially since I was still feeling weak.
7 Dec came....no strong contractions yet. I am STILL 2 cm dilated (an increase of only 0.5cm overnight). was 1.5cm dilated for the past 2 weeks. How? My gut feeling was telling me that baby does not want to come out yet. Not until the week starting 10 Dec. But, 7 Dec is the full 40 weeks of pregnancy. Any later would pose some risks (albeit low). By then, with the drips and the good hospital food <font color="0000ff">(surprising, eh?)</font>, I was feeling much stronger.
To induce or to wait....that is the question.
We decided that since baby is exactly 40 weeks already, we might as well induce her out. Many others want to carry a foetus till 40 weeks, but don't have the chance to. So what more can we ask for? We shall not complain.
07 Dec 07
1515 hrs: Made decision to induce labour (there goes my dream for a totally NATURAL labour)
1540 hrs: Went into the labour ward (nurses found it amusing that I could still be smiling while being wheeled in)
1600 hrs: Gynae bursts waterbag (oooh...so much water. I thot I lao jio while gynae was checking me.)
In the meantime, still SMS-ing my friends.
After waterbg burst, OMG! Strong contractions!! I have never felt such strong contractions before. It was "oooohhhh......" but not those sharp pains kind (bearable, in my opinion). Basically, it felt like super bad menses cramp. SUPER bad ones. But I tend to get the cramps, so this was still bearable. Nurses say, that one is only mild...*pengz*
1615 hrs: Epidural administered (ooh...what sweet relief. Pain? What's that? You can pinch me, tickle me...and I won't feel a thing.). Oxytoxcin drip (to induce labour) and other necessary drips administered.
Now, we wait.
In the meantime, the husband arrives (he had to go to the poly that day), played soothing music for me to relax, he went for his dinner, I had LOTS of sips of water for my dinner and supper. (Not allowed to eat or drink anything but water).
About 2000 hrs: baby's heartbeat dropped suddenly. It was distressing (for me and Baby Louisa). Cried buckets. Doc stopped the oxytoxcin drip as it was probably the cause for the drop in baby's heartbeat.
2200 hrs: Still not fully dilated (in between, had a few VEs done, and dilation was around 7 to 8 cm). 2nd dosage of epidural administered.
2330 hrs: Still 9 cm dilated. Short of 1 more cm!! Baby also not engaged.
08 Dec 07
Finally, at about 0200 hrs: Fully dilated. Baby engaged. Nurses told me to start pushing. Gynae came.
0216 hrs: After a bit more pushing, baby is out!
I am so tired.....and hungry. First thing I asked for - milo (still not allowed to eat anything).
Gynae says she is one clean baby...guess the coconut juice thing really works!
In between all that 11 hours, I was SMS-ing friends, watching TV, joking with the nurses, drifting in and out of sleep and suffering from the side effects of the epidural. The nurses couldn't help but laugh..."still can SMS. Still can smile and laugh." That's me lah. hahaha...

I decided to head down to the hospital, cos i worry abt traffic jam and dunno is it real labour. Haha
8+am
Reach the hospital. Do the admission and head down to the observation ward.
9+am
The nurse check my dilation. Oh.. 5cm ler. And the contractions is still not those intense type. My gyne oso came and check on me and say today will be the DAY! Haha But dunno when yet... Nurse say if i need epidual or laughing gas let them know... But i still ok with the pain so i wait and see...
9+ to 12
The contractions pain never get more intense and i keep going to the toilet and pass motion. Aiyo.. dunno y leh.. Nurse check.. ah.. still 5cm dilate. Nurse inform doctor and i'm push to the delivery ward and the waiting game started.
12+ noon
Ahz.. still can take light lunch.. haha i thought cannot eat leh... but gyne order food for me. So i eat happily haha.
1+ pm
The nurse start to put me on drip. Ok.. the pain is more intense now after the drip... The nurse ask my husband go and eat cos after the drip start, i will dilate very fast. My hubby went to take his quickie lunch kekek. Nurse told me not to take epidual.. cos my delivery will be fast.. since i can tahan till 5cm dilate. I say ok.. then i dun take.. just use laughing gas. My hubby back and Suddenly my waterbag burst! Wow... really can feel the bursting effect. haha really like balloon burst! Told the nurse, aiyo my waterbag burst. And the real pain its really painful loh! ABit regret never take epidual. ahaha But nevermind i use laughing gas and it is useful! And also requested and injection which can reduce the pain by 50%. When the nurse was out to get the injection ready... guess what! I got the urge to push the bb out! Called the nurse and she came. Oh no 10cm dilated! Call gyne and he is still queueing up buying his lunch wahaha. I can't wait leh.. the urge is so huge and the nurse ask me not to push and keep using the laughing gas. It was a real torture that i cannot push!!! I cried and break into cold sweat!. My hubby poorthing.. and keep holding on to my hand and wipe my sweat.
2.10pm
Gyne arrived!! I feel so good to see him! Like an angel is here to help me! Wahaha. Started pushing and pushing. The pushing game is not painful and it feel real good to push the bb out. haha
2.20pm
Finally, the bb is out! Yeah!~ and my gyne never cut me... he say i just have a small tear and he stitch it up nicely for me... The feeling is great! and i still can chit chat with my hubby after my delivery.
Petrina...11 hours is nothing lah. got pple 24 hours one. also got pple 3 hrs one. hahaha. I counted the 11 hrs from when I first stepped into the delivery suite.
Yah, the so-called real pain is after waterbag burst. Strange horh? haha. before burst, it's still quite bearable. But for me, since it's induction labour, had to burst lah and I was only 2 cm dilated.
wah, crystalz, you good leh, can push so easily. Maybe coz my bb quite big for me lah. So it was quite an effort. Felt like I used up all my energy. But yah, it was quite fun to push baby out...can feel baby coming out...(they reduced the epidural then so can feel contractions etc) and when the moment she slipped out (past the shoulders etc...), wow, I cried buckets again.
Oh, Petrina...I dunno abt the after effects of the epidural...I guess different pple different. For me, it was just whole body felt itchy initially. Then after abt an hour or so, it was ok. Nothing. Maybe a bit of the shivers (which lasted a short short while) but that's all.
oh ah mais, I got no webcam. Confirm dun have liaoz...got my sister to check and search again...sob sob...
well, at least baby is sleeping more nowadays. midnight till 4am. ahhh...at least I get 4 straight hours of sleep, compared to 1 hour in the beginning. She's 1 week old!
Crystalz, your confinement going to end soon yah? So good...at least it's before christmas. I'm going to have to miss all the christmas and new year gatherings. so sad!

Hey the rest of the ah mais! Hope you all had loads of fun today!
Sorry I couldn't be online and no web cam...so could only send MMS pic to Huey. Tried to send a video clip over, but think the file was too big...heehee...
