13th July 2006

My birth story :

My due date was actually on 7th July 2006. After the due date was passed, I make an appointment with Dr. Patrick Ling to go for an induction on 14th July 2006 (7:30am). But on 12th July 2006 morning I started to bleed and had been having the contractions about every half an hour. So I went to my doctor for a checkup. So he did a cervix examination and find that I am only 1cm dilated. Then I was asked to go back home for some rest because it seems to be not that soon. So I went back home to wait and rest. By the time about 11:00pm, the contractions start to get worse and more frequently. I told my hubby about it, so he went to call his mum. But his mum said it wont be that soon and it’s just the beginning. After that, my hubby went back to do his work, while I’m just lying on the bed and bear with pain that came to me.
13th July 2006 - Thursday:6:00am : I try to call up my mum and told her about the pain.
7:00am : My mum reached my hubby’s home. I was told to have some breakfast (dumpling) before I go to the hospital. While my mum and my hubby’s mum prepare all those clothes, biscuit, milk powder and toiletries that needed.

7.30am : I reached Sibu Medical Centre. The staff brought us to the 1st floor.
7:45am : routine enema, CTG performed at triage8:00am : I was transfered to delivery suite Room 1, CTG monitoring continues... At that time, my contraction was about every 3 minutes.
8:05am : Midwife check cervix 9cm dilated.8:10am : Dr Patrick Ling came and the midwife prepare to break the waterbag.
8:20am : I was asked to push on contraction. He told me that he will try to do an episiotomy when necessary. After 3 pushes later, Brycen was borned (8:26am). When the baby is borned, it was a great relief because the contraction pain subside substantially.
8:30am : Dr Ling did some stitches.

By the time my hubby back from his breakfast downstairs, the baby was already out there to wait for him. So pity that we didn’t take any picture during that time and all of us didn’t expect to be that soon.

Then I was
