Baby Alicia born on 15 Feb 2009

After my wedding, I have almost forgotten this blog. I am going to start blogging again, as our product of love is out. I am going to record down her growing process in this blog. My birth story :

14 Feb 2009
1900 - Start to feel some contraction, however its not painful
2200 - Seems like waterbag leaking
2230 - Decided to head to hospital to check
2330 - Arrive at KKH delivery suite

15 Feb 2009
0040 - Midwive examine my dilation and contraction, doesn't seems to be labour.
0100 - prepare for admission, due to suspect of waterbag leaking
0130 - admitted to my ward

0600 - nurse came into my room and wake me up to go down to delivery suite for checkup.

0700 - gynae check for water bag, do drip
0730 - gynae break water bag (3cm dilated)
0745 - drip oxytocin
0800 - start to have mild menus cramp
0900 - start to do epidural procedure (4cm dilated)
0930 - epidural procedure completed
0945 - no pain at all, however very itchy due to side effect of epi. start to sleep

1100 - woke up due to feeling of contraction

1145 - dr came to check epidural due to the pain from contraction, cos getting bad
1200 - dr increase epi doseage
1230 - no improvement from increase epi, midwive check and realise 9cm dilated. midwive comment i dilate very fast, they expect 1 cm/hour. no wonder the epi doesnt relief me at that time. use laughing gas for relief, which is better at that point.
1250 - dr came and add more doseage of epi and 1 other medicine to help me relief the pain.
1300 - midwive checked, 10cm dilated.
1320 - gynae came back to check me, he say baby very low position, can prepare to push.
1330 - start pushing with gynae help to push my tummy

1344 - baby Alicia is out. i think gynae helped alot with the pushing of my tummy, less than 10 push, baby is out. however, side effect is my left tummy abit blue black. haha..

1400 - side effect of epi start to come, fever, shiver, and vomiting. however, still worth it, as i think it will be extremely painful without it.

After gynae finish with my stitches, midwive saw that Alicia is sucking her thumb, so she bring her to me and let her latch on. This is the first time I have close contact with Alicia, I felt so heartwarming, however the side effect of epidural make me vomit while she is latching on. Hence, midwive got to bring her back to her bed. Alicia lie back on her bed, and turned her head to me, and she looked at me as if she wants to continue to latch on. This scene is capture deeply in my heart, she is so lovely.
