So, not much did happen after 9.15am when the epidural went in. It was very slow goings. The doc came by mid morning and said i still wasn't dilating very fast and delivery may be around midnight. Sigh.... Anyways, a whole day of just waiting went by. I was bed bound of course but slept and rested, watched some TV.
When dinner came around 6, i couldn't eat it, and after that, anything i put in my mouth came up again so i decided to leave it alone. I started to feel a teeny bit of pain and the anasthegiologist came by to top up my epidural. Still a little bit of pain. A nurse came by afterwards to readjust the baby monitor and took so long to find the baby again, she started to wonder if something was going on. She decided to check if i was dilated and i had all of a sudden gone from 4cm to 9cm! Almost ready to push! By 9.30 the midwives were hanging about and did 3 practice pushes with me. Then told me to wait until the Dr came by. I prepared myself for a couple hours of pushing and wondered why the doc would be there so early.
10.30pm, the Dr shows up, puts on his rubber boots and gets settled. Here we go. With a mighty yell he says a contraction is coming and to push really hard for 10 counts. We do that 3 times and then on the 4th push, all of a sudden my little man pops out and is put on my lap. It is 10.43pm on the 16th of December. I can not believe it. He is beautiful, perfect. Welcome to the world. Weight 2.58kg. He is my tiny little miracle.
