POPPED!!

21/5
4pm: check up at acj, doc says dilate 2 cm and gt contractions, bt i dun feel much.. ctg shows ok also.. bt doc told me, store emer number into hp, if anything jus admit aft 11 cuz no charge ma.
6 plus: satisfied MOS burger craving and went home slack still no feeling tho abit menses cramp..
10plus: menses cramp stronger and back is super sng till cant sit down or lie down long.
22/5
12plus: reach tmc (since doc say aft 11 is nt charged then might as well lor. in case anything happen)
1 plus: hooked up to ctg again and saw regular contractions w gd intervals too. nurse commented dat i was "having gd contractions". still no pain, jus sore.. aft awhile they checked bt nothing happening. still 3 cm!!
3plus: check again and STILL 3cm! I asked if doc wld drop by (trying my luck) and nurse say ya, in the morning lor abt 8-9plus. I want to faint liao cuz i wanted doc to burst water so i can dilate faster! *getting impatient*
by dawn: super impatient and fed up cuz seems like contractions slowed down or smt.. either i was getting used to the soreness or it really toned down. bt no choice so i LOON!
9.30am: doc finally appeared and checked me!! STILL 3 cm!! she decided to burst bag and put me on drip.
11.30pm: midwife came in, 4-5cm liao!! PAIN but still looning! she also mentioned that my bb is in posterior position dat's y i feel the pain on my back instead of tummy. and also said this kind of labor is usually longer and more painful. by then i already kinda gg nuts. hb very worried and persuaded me to take epi.. which i did in the end.. too painful.. =(
11.45am: EPI lai liao! after awhile it was HEAVEN.. lol! tho i can still feel the pressure of bb pressing down in my pelvis.
2pm: midwife appeared again to check me. was shivering and trembling so much dat i only smsed hb (who went downstairs to meet fren who jus arrived to acc him$) "9cm". immediately he came back and sat ard.

several mins later...

another nurse check ~10cm le!!!
dr khi was called up and so the process begins..

the epi made me puke and damn shivery and trembly.. was quite loopy on it cuz dr also mentioned i was kinda talking nonsense. lol.
one thing quite upsetting was bb's presentation made it harder for her to come out and i cldn't find energy to push le.. so after quite a few pushes, doc use forceps. oh and i rmb the midwife mentioned dat bb heartbeat dropping so must faster get her out also so maybe dat's y they decided to use forceps lo. so sad dat i cldn't do it on my own..
