14th Sept'07 Friday
- 7.15am in the morning, water bag suddenly burst still sleeping. Everything was in chaos, trying to grab things we need and ring up the gynae. Mummy feared for the worse while trying to keep calm by taking a quick shower. Braving through the morning traffic, we reached hospital at 8.20am.
- Everything was filled with anxiety, alot of questions in our mind. Daddy tried to calm things down and get the admission in place. Nurses stripped on CTG to monitor the contractions and waterbag level. Gynae ordered steriod to be administered to mature BB lungs on 12hour basis till delivery. Drips given to reduce contractions. Tubes of blood were drawn to test for signs of infections. Within minutes, mummy was poked countless time for the procedures. It was a long wait, while doctor thong hope that the waterbag burst is a hoax and hopefully no sign of infection and further leaks. Blood test result came backwith sign of infection. Seems that we are left with not much choice but deliver the baby soon.
- 5.40pm, drips were given to induce labor. Every few hours of checks for dilation was terrible.
- 8pm. Given steriod again.
- 9.20pm, the last check was 5cm but seems that the dilation begins to slow down and BB heartrate seems to be distress. Doctor order to increase the rate of induction. This time, mummy couldn't cope with the induction speed with breathing technique. Decide to take on epidural to speed up things.
- 10.15pm, Epidural adminstered. Waiting game again. We keep talking to BB to cooperate.
15th Sept'07 Saturday
- 12am onwards things start to speed up. Maybe BB don't like 14th Sept.
- 0031hrs BB was out after 4 pushes with help of forceps. BB cry out very loudly.. BB weights 2.09kg, 45cm height.
- BB was checked for breathing and signs of distress. Doctor Tan give green light for Mummy to carry BB. Seeing the forceps marks on BB forhead and premie BB, mummy feels so sad. Baby was sent to NICU shortly after that.
