13 May 2007,
found my water bag was leaking when I woke up at 9 in the morning. Quickly I wake hubby up n prepared to head for the hospital. We went striaght to labour ward, MO on call examined me, where I was only 2cm dilated and she adviced me to admit to the ward to wait. Don't feel much contraction and pain was sore 2. 4.30pm
the pain was unbearable and I called for the nurse. The MO came and checked me, it was only 3cm dilated and she offered epidural and I agreed. 5.15pm
Reached labour ward again but the anesthetist was attending to a ICU patient, so I was given laughing gas while waiting. The midwife checked and I was 5 cm dilated! She adviced me to have the epidural even I was 5cm dilated as being my first labour, may expirence long labour pain. 6pm
Dr Tan came and checked, I was 7cm dilated. I felt like 'passing motion' as I told hubby. The pain is getting unbearable but it was too late for epidural it was where I started to start push! 8.26pm after trying hard for 1hour plus of pushing finnally baby Darren was delivered. I had some sitching done cos I had a cervic tear. I was kept in the labour ward for monitoring over night.
