Yesterday was my last CST scheduled for the year 2010. A few more days and our baby was expected to come out into the world. But it turns out, she wanted to come out earlier than expected!
Just recalling how this special day went!
3am - contractions about 15 mins apart so couldn't sleep well
6am - bloody show, "I think I'm going to give birth today."
9am - contractions seemed to have stopped. "I'll pack my bag just in case..."
Here's Ate seeing us off to the hospital. She kinda knew that her sister was coming out today I think. She's all smiles!
130pm - scheduled check-up with Tita S "If I'm only 2cm, can I go home?" I was 4cm! Stayed to chat with Tita Suey a while. Wanted to go home but she wouldn't let me. Walked to labor room.
230pm - 5cm. feeling the contractions now
330pm - 6cm. waiting waiting. sat down
430pm - 7cm. Anesthesiologist asks if i need epidural. "I dunno, I feel fine. What do you think? Should I get it? I want to feel so I can push better. Ok half a dose. In case I need it, it's just a push button if I want." Anesthesiologist says it'll wear off in an hour. Wheeled into delivery room.
5pm - took a short nap. Maybe by 7pm I'll give birth
6pm - "I think it's time to push. Honey, pls call the nurse." Anesthesiologist and I decide to postpone the dose so I can push better.
"She's coming out!" ... "Mommy pls don't push yet, we're still getting ready" ... "I'm not pushing!"
625pm - "okay, push mommy!" 1... 2... 3... getting tired! you better come out next push! 4! Out comes baby. Another half dose Epidural given to me right after she came out since I didn't want to feel any pain after.
December 16, 2010 at 629pm Ant is born weighing 8pounds and 3oz and 54cm in length.
