It's been almost a week since Shawn Ooi Yu Xuan is born. He's 2.88kg / 51cm baby boy born in GlenEagles on 5Dec at 1734hrs. Well, he did come into the world screaming on top of his lungs to let everyone know that he's here!
7.45am Got to hosp, cleared bowels and waited for gynae
9.00am Started at 3cm, Gynae came poked water bag burst, a lot a lot of water kena nurse and gynae. the bed was flushed with water, had a change of gown and the amah had to clean the whole place, and she administered the induce drug and all the drips
1.00pm Gynae came & check, only dilate 4cm. I was like dying in pain already coz of the induce drug and i hadn't taken any epi yet. Almost crushed my hubby's palm. Asked for epidural liao.
1.30pm Epi done up, thankful for the miracle drug! On and off, nurse came to administer, increased the induce drug and epi. Half way thru shivering started
4.30pm Dilated 8cm, midwife called gynae.
5.00pm Came n check, baby's head already can be seen outside. I was 10cm then. The only problem, he's facing up, gynae told me sunny side up baby probably have to push 1-2hrs, if not then have to use vacuum/forcep. A bit disheartening. Then gynae asked midwife to keep me pushing according to contraction (could feel very little of it). Ok, so I pushed. 1st push i was like the greatest bowel push I ever have to make but I didn't push from the correct way. It seemed I had pushed from my face hahaa. Didn't work, gynae told me to push from tummy. Then she left the delivery suite. After that, pushed from tummy and worked well. probably like 5-6times of contraction (3pushes each) baby was almost out. Midwife called gynae to come back. Gynae was back in awhile, snip below and...
5.34pm One long last push, baby's out! Yipeee... Was happy that he screamed his lungs out. Thankfully
Around 6.30pm Baby's first latch and my first sip of water after my fasting since 12midnight the previous night.
