To A Greener Side...: The true awakening story of, The Delivery!

After the long wait.ten months on wondering how will my baby look like? will he resemble me more or his father.the finally chosen name which he will be called..Samuel Marthin. He is here now, right by myside. my darling baby boy. Behind the Scenes: Since i am going thru induced labor, they actually put me on a drip ..don't know for wat lah..i can't remember the terms lah. And at 9am, my gynae came to see me and asked me how am i, prepared for the action drama. Hmm.. My reply? Oh yes, wen will it be? i'm ready to give birth? Or should i wait longer? how long more? Mak Kemaruk! Feeling feeling heroine. Was telling myself that i will not take the bloody epidural! I will survive the labor pain. It's just similiar to sakit perut, meneran. With much pompousness in me, this is wat i answered to my dearest doctor Vincent Lee: Dr: Diana, there are 3 kind of painkillers that you can choose from. 1. the gas 2.the thigh jab and 3. the epidural I would advised you to take the epidural straight away as it will not waste your effort in enduring the pain. Diana: (Dgn megahnya)No Doc. I wont take epidural. All other painkillers except epidural. Dr: OK. but if you really can't take the pain, take the epidural ok? Diana: Ok.. but i won't Then at 9.30am, He inserted this long plastic stick into @#xo**..u noe where ah? Suddenly, water flowing out and the amount of it seems like i've not been urinating for almost months..At first, no pain. Again feeling feeling heroine, i told my hubby to head on home for a shower and come back again..and make the trip a jiffy. He declined the offer but i insisted. Told him I'm ok and it's not painful.. Yeah rite! AS IF! Like hello? have you been there? Done that? PLease diana, wake up.. So he left. as being an obedient hubby, not wanting to provoke this giving birth heroic mother. Not more than 5 mins later, I FELT IT. Arggh. No way. Wow. What am i to do? Hubby, where you? I then used the phone which is beside my bed to call him. He was on his way back now. And you know what? I told him off. I cried. Pleading him to come back soon. Baru mak tahu sakit dia macm mana!!! The pain was truly overwhelming. Since i really can't take the stabbing pain, i then called my sis in law. Asking her to accompany me while i bear with the unbearable pain. EXCRUCIATING. On and off, i will tell her to hold on while i crumpled myself almost the shape of a prawn. Gees..have anyone actually done that? On the phone makin a conversation while under the spells of labor pain? to calm myself down, i inhaled the gas, which made me a little drowsy. 11am, Hubby returned. I begged him to call for the nurse to give me the jab on the thigh. The gas just not reducing the pain. Still refusing epidural. Practising Forbearance lah konon. Jab given. as my hubby was at a lost, not knowing how to comfort the now very melodramatic, fierce lioness, he kept putting on the gas mask for me to inhale. The Results? I WAS IN DELIRIUM. HALLUCINATING STAGE. mabok gila.

Hubby drowsing me with the gas..

The above picture just proved his choking me with the gas. 1.30pm Doc paid me a visit. I'm at 4cm. Yikes. 6cm more to go before i can go for delivery..goodness.. At this time my doctor could see my misery. He asked me again. would you like an epidural. Take it if you really canot bear it. ME in the stage of 100% way on top of delirium answered much faster than the lightning, YES. please. I want epidural. Please. baru nak beg for mercy. Me now at the foot of mercy. My hubby somewhat stunned at my decision. Started asking me whether i truly want it. cause i've been teling him of the kononnya 'bad effects'. I kept saying yes. He asked the doctor of the side effects. He was truly concerned. After being convinced by the nurses and doctor of the no side effects except headaches for the next few days, he finally agreed. 2.30pm Dr Wong came to put up the epidural for me. By now, i'm totally drowsy and sleepy. 15mins later, after epidural, no more pains. A bit too late though to enjoy the luxury of no more pains, as now me totally like one mat drug(selisih). MABOK GILA. I ended up sleeping my way through the final stage where 'its time'. 4.30pm Time for the pushes. 1st push,failed. I don't really know the correct method of pushing. So, while waiting for next contraction,i actually practiced how to push..haha..very funny right? Then 2nd push came, hubby start saying, i saw hair.. feeling happy and so over the top while i gave him the fierce look..like shut up.. 3rd push followed on, still failed! Now Dr getting impatient. I was reprimanded by him. Again another practice of pushing. next, 4th push, see more hair as claimed by hubby. Dr getting very impatient, he then decided to do vacuum. He cut the hole bigger. Yeas..and my hubby can simply told me how it was done. i just smirked at him. Hello..i don't need the damn details honey. 5th push came by, with the vacuum, i tried. instead the vacuum came jumping out without my baby. Dr? Angry lah.. 6th push knocked in, Head came out. Word of praises started flowing in. one more push Diana and it's done..Good..you're doing good. 7th push finally, after the whole building of Raffles Hospital starts crumbling down,It's over. He's there. Opening his eyes and smiled. My baby is born. You have got to see me after the whole labor thingy. i was wrecked. i just can't wait anymore. after looking at him, i straight went to wonderland. Since i'm still under the drowsy spell from the over consumedm, inhaling of the gas. Thank you HUBBY SO for all first timer,expectant mother. Heed my advice, take epidural. Jangan action heroine. Ok? Now, it's time to feed my newly born baby.
