Decided to write my experience giving birth to my little precious boy, Muhammad Fayyadh Rizq, cause i know someday in the future i will read and smile.
I went in to delivery suite on Wednesday 11 July 2012 due to abdomen cramps. As usual CTG was done and then doc came and I was 2cm dilated. But there was bleeding and i was admitted.
Went in to the ward. Had to get the plug for drips to go in but it was super painful. So in the end i just had my blood taken. By night they told me my blood count was low so i have to had a blood transfusion. That kept me scared the whole night and had to get hubby to stay in with me even though its against their procedures.
So the next morning doctor came and told me i have to have blood transfusion and have my blood drawn again. And i was 3cm dilated. I was happy for the 3cm but not the rest. A nurse came and did the plug insertion carefully. It was painful and i had my eyes covered with my sweats. And i was sweating like hell. Hubby was chased out tonight and i was already a crybaby so thr nurse closed one eye and let him stay.
And it was friday. Still 3cm dilated had to take 4 times 100ml of antibiotics through drip every 4 hours. By the time it was the end of the visiting hours and the last drip which is dued at 10pm. I was having contractions and it was already my turn to go down to the labour ward. By 11pm my water bag was broken. And this is when all the nasty and painful things starts to happen. I already had so many drips attached to my plug. And the contractions is so bad that i cannot concentrate on relaxing. All i want to do is push everthing out. I peed and pooped and was shivering and shaking. Hubby was stressful looking at me in great pain. I cannot bear the pain and had no choice but to have an epidural which makes me numb and the only pain i feel is wen baby is pushing himself out. I was about 5cm already but it was not even for 2 hours that the baby head is almost out.
And thats only the painful part. Now its the pushing part. Really is exhausting and hardwork. But i was strong enough. At every pain i had to push 3 times as hard as i can. Poor little baby, hes distress cause hes stuck at the canal. The midwives cut my perineum and one doc had to push my stomach and the other doc suck my baby out.
I gave birth on the 14 July 2012 at exactly 5.30am.
It was a relief feeling when the baby is out. I was so blessed to be able to see my baby. It was loved at first sight. Hubby was already so weaked seeing all the blood. I was already in exhausted and dont really know whats happenning. Everthing is like blurry and echoey. I dont know what people are talking and all i want to do is to just sleep. Back in the ward i slept while hubby do all the admin documents and went back to the ward and slept. We woke up when the nursery doc came to explain the babys condition. Still feeling weak. I was so happy to see my baby. Slept the night alone. And was discharge the next day. And not forgetting i had to put a tube in my bladder cause i cannot pee. And only after they took it out i had to pee and show them before i gets to go home. 5 days in the hospital was an unforgettable experience.
I love you boys very much!
