This is the post where everyone else is waiting to see(i supposed). I'm gonna explained in details how Nicole had endured her 21hrs of pain and the birth of baby Chloe to this Family of the Loos.
It all started on 27th July, where she had her weekly checkup @ ACJ clinic. It was also the day we had planned to discuss with Dr Caroline Khi(our Gynae) to have our induced birth on 28th July. ~ Why Nicole dun wanna do it on the same day u would had asked ~ cos she wanna enjoy the whole of 27th so as to prepare herself for the BIG DAY the following day.
11Am 27th July:
During the checkup, Dr Khi suggested we induced birth immediately as she had found the umbilical cord on Chloe's neck area while doing the ultrasound test. Fear and safety overcome every other things in our minds and we proceed as told. Its was a mere 5 mins i'll say, and the pill was in Nicole's body and the effects came in soon after that. Although Dr Khi mentioned that that contraction will only occur the next day, Nicole is having a constant count of pain when she was put up for a contraction test. After tat we were told to go home and be back @ 3.30pm for another check.
3.30Pm 27th July:
Back at the clinic again, Nicole already having very strong contraction pains...1 contraction per min. And she is already 1 cm dilated before she was transferred to the Observation Rm while i did the admission for her.
5.45Pm 27th July:
Dr Khi came in to check on Nicole, 2.5cm dilated and membrane rupture(water bag burst). Everything going smoothly and based on the progress, baby Chloe might be out by 2am. Nothing can be sure....
11.30Pm 27th July:
Its time to be transferred to the Delivery Ward by now. Nurses came in to check and still remains at 2.5cm dilated, still no progress at all...
12Midnight 28th July:
After 8.5 hrs of enduring the contraction pain, Nicole have to get her 1st of many Epidural injections. Its really pain to see after her injection, she was shivering down her spine, could hardly move and a urinal bag attached to her. Really wanna cry seeing her in those pains.
12Am-6Am 28th July:
Super unbearable long wait...coffee after coffee, walking up and down the hospital floor is killing me!!
6Am 28th July:
Nurses came in to check once again for dilation... 2.5CM!!!!!!!!! Its still the same since last evenin!!!!!! Nothing had changed at all and Nicole preparing for her 2nd Epidural. We had already prepared for the worst, to go for caesarean if Dr Khi comes in to check and there is still no progress.
8.30Am 28th July:
Nurses checked and its 5CM dilated already!!! Nicole said she felt the nurses had a hand in helping her to dilate to the current size. Kudos to the nurses for helping....
9.30Am 28th July:
Dr Khi came in and its 6cm dilated by now....
10.30Am 28th July:
Nicole complaint bout pain and pressure down at the cervis, and its surprisingly 9cm dilated!!!
Its progressing really fast by now...but the 2nd Epidural is running out...
11.30Am 28th July:
Times up!!! Its 10cm dilated already. 3rd Epidural is injected and ready to start pushing but something below is blocking Chloe's head making it hard to come out. So gonna wait another 2 more hrs claimed by the nurses.
12Noon 28th July:
Nicole complaining pain again, this time round really wanna give birth already...so its PUSH!!...PUSH!!!...PUSH!!!! time....
Its easy said then done, its really hard to push as she had no more strength left after many counts of pushing to get the crowning(able to sight baby's head). Her stomach was empty with nothing else left inside. The small little portion of porridge from last evening dinner was well digested to nowhere already. 40mins had passed and she is already pushing for her life...and at a moment she, well...almost gave up. Frustrated, she put down both her legs from the leg support and start kicking it with agony until i sounded her that all efforts will be down to drain if she gave up. And so the PUSH action begins again. PUSH!!...PUSH!!!...PUSH!!!!
1240PM 28th July:
Here comes Dr Khi the saviour. All geared up, with the mid wife beside and emergancy bell sounded for all the nurses on duty to help. Baby Chloe's heart beat had dropped from averagely 154hbp to 70-80hbp. Dr Khi asked, "Girl u ready? u want me to help bring the baby out?"
"YES!!","OK!!!", DO IT!!!," at this moment, NO is always not an answer. So Dr Khi got ready her knife and vacumn(to suck out baby), nurses standing by ready to help push down the baby via the adominal. It was so tensed and it like we were in the scene of Antomy Grey. "OK!!!" was shouted and all get started.
The 1st cry of the Baby Chloe was sounded...she was so big when lifted out. Doc asked if i wanna cut the umbilical cord, "NO" was the answer given. Not because i was scared, its just tat Nicole had forbidded me to do tat as she tought tat i was "scared"... so anyhow i dint do it.
I was shown how the umbilical cord had tied 2 rounds on Chloe's neck, it was really life-threatening. Once Dr Khi placed baby Chloe on mummy's adominal, i hugged Nicole and we almost teared. A new life was borned...with the name of CHLOE, child of Ben and Nicole.
Sorry guys, for the pics i will upload soon.....
