It was then disappear & came back at 11am. How am I going to react to this discomfort & pain. I am not sure of the sign & I googled. There are 2 types of contraction, true contraction & Braxton Hicks also known as "fake contraction". So, I guess mine was a fake contraction because it was not consistent & I thought it's just a baby movement. However, I've monitored the time & it was every 20 to 30 minutes but irregular. I called the doctor & described my situation, so the doctor said it was not the sign.
I told Hubby to bring me to the nearest clinic just to check before we decided to go to the hospital. Hubby agreed & we went to the clinic at 6.30pm. The doctor monitored the contraction for 20 minutes & surprisingly the contraction was consistent for every 5 minutes. The doctor then write a letter to refer me to the hospital and advised me to go to the hospital immediately.
After for a while, me & Hubby decided to take our own sweet time to break-fast and drive slowly to PPUM. When we went to level 3 the nurses asked me to admitted to the labour room. I was shocked, just like this? Since PPUM is not a husband friendly hospital, my Hubby needs to stay outside, hold all my stuffs & perhaps that was the last time of me seeing Hubby.
We arrived at the hospital at 9pm, the doctor came and checked at 10.30pm. I was given a drip & the nurse was being instructed to monitor my junior's CTG. When dripped, my contraction became regular & I can't bear the pain, it was started at 10.45pm.
11pm, when the doctor came & checked my cervical opening measurement, it was just 2cm & according to the doctor, since this is my 1st child, it might take 8-12 hours to open until 8cm.
The pain due to consistent contraction was unbearable, I can feel the mucus (which I'm not sure whether it is amniotic fluid or urine) every time contraction. So, I begged 1 of the nurses to check but they refused & said it was how it feels & my case I'll be delivering at 5am or 6am, again, it's my 1st baby.
11.05pm, I accidentally pushed during contraction & called 1 of the nurse to just check. At first she refused but then she agreed to check just to satisfy me.
It was 11.10pm when the arrogant nurse checked my cervical opening & guess what? The opening is already 8cm & the doctor was called to get ready for the delivery.
After 4 times of pushing the baby, Alhamdulillah, a cute, 2.75kg baby boy was delivered at 11.13pm. Hubby then came and visit at ward to recite azan to the baby.
