Arghh!! I hate my day today. My head is pounding, my nose is leaking (Running Nose lah) , my body is aching and Aunty Flo decided to visit me pulak! Ai!! With so 'many excitement', how to work lah..(Hehe padahal alasan want to blog!)
Anyway, I decided to continue the story of MY SECOND DELIVERY..which I told you last time was a HORROR story..heheheeee not really lah! There is nothing really scary about it. It was only me having that kind of feeling. Different people different story, so don’t assume all delivery are like mine.
I warn you..my story will be super long today, so grab the popcorn and your milo ping while reading this post. Otherwise you might fall asleep while reading this. So here goes my story...
Back to November 2006, my due date (EDD) was supposed to be on 29th Nov. Took my maternity leave 1 day after my head was stitched due to the stupid car hood which decided to land on my head. Well, the main reason I took my leave earlier was because I was scared my baby will come out while I was at office. (Heard a lot of stories about people unexpected 2nd delivery..one of my friend delivered her baby at home! Nah!! No time to go to hospital pun). I was like 10 months pregnant that time. Haha What to do, I’m a very petite woman mah! (I’m sooo huge that time)
So the waiting at home for my baby to come out from my huge tummy made me crazy everyday. The Brax Hick Contraction I was having was really..really bad. Sakit oh!! Tunggu punya tunggu..baby still nicely snugged in my womb. In my last check-up, the best Doctor of all, Dr Laily, my gynae told me that I might have a difficulties delivering my baby if she continues gaining rapid weight. That time, baby estimaated weight was 3.45kg. If she gained another few hundred grams, I might deliver a 3.8kg baby which I know will be crazy. Kuyak menguyak nanti di bawah. I only have 1 choice that time. INDUCE BIRTH. Adeh! If only I know it will be soooooo painful, I don’t mind to wait for daughter for few more days oh.
After a lengthy discussion with hubby, we decided that I will have an induce birth. On the 1st of December 2006, I (of course with hubby lah) went to the birth center to do the last check up on my baby. (Whether she will be strong enough to be forced out from my body) Everything was OK..so Dr had her green light for me to be induced. She explained to me that once the Prostaglandin (Meds for induction) inserted, I will have my 1st contraction after 3-6 hours!! (DUH!!!) . So ubat pun masuk lah at 5.10pm. I was reading my magazine and eating my Spicy Nasi Goreng Kampung when I had my first contraction which was quite strong. It was only 5.40pm that time! Uwahhhh!! Tidak sempat pun makan habis my fried rice. Though the interval of my contractions was 7 or 8 minutes apart, it was enough to make me froze every time it came. (Oh that time..hubby went to office for a while..ada hal konon!! Sempat lagi!!!!) I called hubby around 6.10pm telling him that my contractions were getting stronger every minutes (3-6 hours konon!!) At 6.20pm..I was really in pain..PUNYA MAIN SAKITT!!!!!! Buzz the nurse for assistance immediately. When she checked on me, I was already 4cm dilated. I was groaning in pain that time and hubby wasn’t even with me. He reached there at 6.45 when I was wheeled to the labour room. (Sempat lagi checking the time bah! Hehe). Glad that he managed to be by my side before I deliver my baby. If not, I will for sure give him a hell for not being with me.
In the labour room, I was sooooo in pain that I almost cry. Dr. Laily asked me whether I want any pain relief; she suggested a pethadine to me. (No epidural because I was almost fully dilated that time). Can you imagine I was in pain and still sempat asked her was there any side effects if I took the Pethadine..hehee when she told me yes, my baby will be drowsy once she is out, I decided against it. I don’t want to have a ‘mabuk’ baby to hold la. Anyway, I was already 7cm dilated that time. So nothing can be done anymore, all I can do was groaned and say..Adoii!! Sakitnya!! DR. Laily keep telling me ..yes!! it is painful. Hehe During Son last time, I still had the laughing gas @ entonox (spelling??) to lessen the pain mah. The pain was there, but I can tolerate it.
During the last 30mins of my delivery, I almost break the IV Syringe. Punya kuat I held the Bed Barrier. The nurses had to pry my hand opened or otherwise I will fell from the bed and cracked my head. Haha!! Sadis!! If you were wondering where my hubby was that time, he was next to me. What he did, smiling like an idiot and keep telling me, Sekejap lagi tu!! Adeh!! He had the gut to laugh at me some more. Punya I meradang that time. Luckily my legs were already bound that time. If not, I for sure will give him a sound kick.(Maybe he doesn’t know what he should do bah tu, that’s why he laughed..adakah macam tu?? hmmmmm)
Anyway, the last minute of my delivery was super intense. I had no time to breathe or rest myself from the effects of contractions. Just when I thought to relax from a very strong contraction, another one coming followed by another one and another one. Until one point I really could not stand it anymore, I try to push my baby out. WARN: Never push your baby out before the time or else you risk having a very deep and long tear down there. I knew one mother who pushed her baby out before the right time and had a tear all the way to her anus! MATAI oh like that!! How to walk?? Ok I’m digressing…so my last two minutes was the easiest part of my delivery. One hard push and my baby were out!! HORRAY!!! It was like heaven. The pain was gone instantly!! I was laughing when the Doctor and Nurses said “WAH!!! KUATNYA!! One push terus come out baby. Fuiyohhh!!”
What I asked the Dr when she held my baby?? “Doctor..Baby Girl???” ekeke I already knew my baby is a girl, but mau juga kena confirm bah. Hehe..anyway, daughter was only 3.25kg and not 3.45kg as estimated before and because of that, she only cause a very minor tear on me which required only 2 stitches. Besar lagi the injury I had on my head (that time pun belum baik lagi my kepala bocor..hehee).
40 minutes after I had my baby, I was up to the nursery to see my new baby. Gilos lah the delivery. However, the best part of it, I only had to suffer for about 2 hours ++ compare to my son’s delivery which I was in pain for 30 hours (I can tolerate the pain much better than the induced labour). If you are thinking how painful was a labour process, just think of a toothache x 10. Lebih kurang macam tu lah..heheheee
See..how big already my daughter now
