Birth Story of Baby Denson..

Mummy has not blog about Baby Denson ever since he is in our arms..

Mummy was admitted to Mount Alvernia to induce Baby Denson at 0000hr on 29 Jul 09.
Mummy and daddy tot that Baby Denson will be at least out by the next 24hrs.. but he only arrive on 0033hr on 30 Jul 09..

Many will ask wat is induced labour.. it is manually initiating the labour by inserting pill to the mum's body for softening of the cervix and dilation..

Below is an express summary of what mummy, daddy n denson went thru:

0045 inserted pill to soften cervix
1000 gynae came to check, cervix still hard n intact.. (Vaginal Examination (VE) is so painful) inserted another pill advise mi to walk ard after lunch..

1505 gynae check, dilated for 2cm only.. (i swear the VE is a damn horrible experience) and she broke the waterbag subsequently.. Contractions started not long after..

1548 Opt for epidural.. (mummy only endured the pain for 20mins n surrendered.. mainly due to the VE that the gynae did... mummy was oredi tearing non-stop by then...)

1800 Gynae did VE again.. 3cm dilated only (this time round no more pain cos lower body is numb.. my right leg feel more numb than the left one.. most of the time, i need help from ppl to move my leg...) gynae mentioned she will come back later to check on mi again..

2230 Gynae came to check again.. still 3cm dilated.. mummy immediately knew c-sect was the last resort.. (mummy was tearing non-stop cos mummy didnt wan to go thru ops after such a long tedious journey ler.. mummy wan to see baby when he is out) so mummy requested gynae to give mummy an hr time to see if baby cooperate.. (mummy was tokin to baby, but mummy was tinkin it is mummy's body nt baby's fault.. was in a loss, duno what can mummy do to deliver baby naturally..)

2350 Gynae did a check again.. still 3cm dilated... so c-sect was the last resort since the main reason for induced was bcos bb's cord spotted in dangerous situation.. once mummy agreed for the operation, all the auntie nurses came to move mummy to the operating theatre, get mummy to sign consent form.. mummy didnt get a chance to tok to daddy n was been push away.. poor daddy was in a loss too.. he dreaded so much abt cutting baby's umbilical cord, witnessing baby's birth, but now he dun even noe if he is allowed in the theatre...

2355 Prepared n push into operating theatre.. Daddy wasnt allow in the OT cos no time to orientate him for the OT procedure..

0005 Increased dosage for epidural but b4 the epidural take effect, gynae CUT mi.. haha.. tearing again.. so gynae suggest full GA.. was totally knocked off after 3 breathes on the gas mask..

Duno wat time mummy was out... but bb was out at 0033hr..

daddy took care of the rest of the things until mummy was awake in the morning... daddy tried tokin to mummy while mummy is still groggy.. mummy could only nod n shake her head to answer daddy, making daddy so worried..

according to daddy:
- bb Denson had his cord 2rounds around his neck.. thank goodness we had the c-sect in time..
- bb Denson did tried his best to push himself out thru the 3cm dilation to save mummy's fr the pain (guess Denson noe how much daddy n mummy have been waiting for his arrival and the pain mummy has went thru ler..) Denson had a small pointed area on his head which was caused by himself pushin thru.. how could anyone else melt mummy's heart when mummy learnt about this..

Denson simply an adorable n sensible boi..

After the whole episode, mummy wonder if there will be a sibling for Denson.. but come again, the next time round, mummy has nd to opt for c-sect directly, so that everything can be more under control...

  1. Hey gal... didnt realised tt u went thru' so much... sigh...

    I also C-section both gals... my 1st delivery is b'cos my hip is too low & baby's head is "Big".. & cant natural birth.. (I got try lah...my gyne tell me to try & burst my waterbag..then contraction for a abt a few times.. But onli dilate 4cm... must at least 6cm - 8cm..), so go for C-section... 2nd one straight away confirm C-section cos' same mah... epidural I also have... aft that, both times.. I felt like "vomit"... sigh... but e 2nd time was NOT so bad..hee..

    During my 2 C-sections delivering my gals, my gyne allow my hubby to see thru' e whole process... BUT he dare not see when my gyne "cut" me.. hahaha.... He's wif me thru'out... till e baby is out, weigh... then he go out... cos' gyne need to help me "stitch"... You know, some gyne dun deliver the baby But instead is the Mid-wife... But I'm quite luckily tt my gyne delivers all the babies by himself... he's quite popular in TMC... & he's also quite "active" in e media recently... My Gyne is Dr. Beh S.T.. veri good doc & gyne..hee...

    BUT I dun understand why ur gyne didnt allow ur hubby to go in... veri funni lei..

    Take care...
