The labour day

I have every intentions to have more babies.. So hopefully by next time, I can still remember how to do it again easily.

I really do not quite define how long I was in labour.. Technically I have consistent contractions since I was admitted at 2plus on the afternoon. But the pain is like nothing much. Almost like just menstrual cramps only.  So is that considered the start of labour?

It was only like 2-3cm by 5pm. When doc came to check me at 6plus,i was just 4-5cm?  But the pain level was like only 4-5/10?

Doc was surprised too cos my contractions are really consistent.

When they put the drip then it hastened and strengthen the contractions at 6plus.but the drip wasn't successful, at 8plus repoke on the other hand and it dripped more, that's when the fun begins. It was a little more pressure. 

After each contraction, there was no pain. When the Contraction got more consistent and strong, I did not use my clary sage oils anymore.

I switched to my frankincense oils. All this time I was listening to my music. Water is my element. So before it was strong, at about 7plus I have the TV off and watched the encouraging video, the positive affirmations. That my body can do it my body knows how to do it.

My music, was relaxing music with water sound... With frankincense oil, it can set me into a meditation mode. And when the Contraction comes along, I just breathe and chant, jennah, jennah jennah and visualising her coming along nearer to my cervix gently pushing it. And before I know it, the Contraction is over.

Relaxing and visualising my baby gave me strength and makes the Contraction just feel like strong pressure at the womb area rather than tight Contraction. It is really true that they say the more tense u are the more pain u b in.

Pain is the mind telling u Wad not to do. And resisting the tightening of the womb is exactly Wad the pain is telling. Don't resist the tightening. Don't fear it. Just relaxing and breathing as Wad the body wants give u Wad u wan. No pain.

So I strongly believe in this and did Wad the body wan, just breathe... Relax and chant jennah as it progress. I do believe it was useful, cos the woman in front quiet down only after epidural.

Which is again true that fear =pain cos my sil came along and says her fear for pain was more than fear of having epidural so she had one. I scared myself into not taking any epidural, and I heard laughing gas was stinky, so I din use it either.

So Anw, when they push me to the delivery ward when I was 6-7cm..the Contraction were a bit more intense, we played music on speaker, the oil smell wasn't that strong cos the room was new and not so big. I could not relax as well as I was previously... I felt pain and just whined out during it and kicked. I tensed up and kicked and the pain was bad. So that's Wad all the pain was about.

Some more they want me on oxygen and passed me the oxygen mask. How to breathe properly using the mask?!

I ended up breathing using the mask when not having Contraction so that I can breathe better.

The pressure of the head downwards was bad at about 7cm. Not open enuf to push but the pressure was bad. Feel like u needa poop, needa push but can't. Almost like u needa diarrhea and can't find the toilet so u can't let go.

So had to chant jennah and breathe deeply when each contraction comes along. It does helps when hubby rubbed frankincense on my temple, chest, spine.. And when he holds my hand and chant jennah with me.

I was gasping with my mouth to the mask during each Contraction.. Rather than trying to breathe deeply through my nose.

After all I just need to get more air during each Contraction.

So bit by bit, we inched on. Till finally, I am. Allowed to push... Which was a final big relieve to me... I remember the nurse say the next time u feel like pushing, just push
I m feeling, really can?  Doc not here yet.

First time I tried pushing. Was really like constipation. The head just push against the butt area and not pop out. I got scared and stopped pushing. I remembee ppl say push like u in toilet. Tried that but nurse say not correct. Don't do the gek sai sound. Don't hold the breath.

During the next contraction, I pushed again on the pressure, I can almost feel progress. Finally doc came along and was surprised when nurse say can see head cos I was still smiling. So he dressed up and say push and count to ten.

My first thought was, how to count in this kinda stage. I was wrong. I can count. Rather, he counted for me I just listen. So when it comes along, I did my best pushing, and he count to ten. And I could feel progress, like slipping of the baby moving forward... The next comes along very near and I could feel him snipping away.. And the next contraction, he counted again and I pushed and I could feel a baby almost sliding out...

It wasn't drama like they say, oh very good the head is out, wonderful, push more. Just quietly the whole babu slipped out and din even cry. Till he clamped the cord and lifted Bb to cut the cord did jennah started crying.

I was confused when they passed me the Bb. LOL.

And yep, that's how it's done :)
