2june
12am- i felt giddy and breathless, somehow feel like fainting..
i called the nurse, mentioned could be side effects of epi..
so she lowered the dosage of epi..


1am to 3am- still dont feel better, i can feel pain!
i called the nurse abt 4 times between this..
to ask them to increase the dosage of epi, as i was in great pain..
nurse mentioned increase le, but i feel no difference, in fact, is as though epi was not working on me..
but my legs were all numb le..
just that i can feel the PAIN..
(nurse didnt even check whether i have dilated how much, i was wondering i could have fully dilated already)


3.30am- i call nurse again..
they decide to call the epi doc come to check on me..
but before the epi doc came, she decides to check my cervix..
she just take a look, didnt even insert her fingers in yet and she shouted "dont need doctor already, can send her to labour ward, going give birth soon"


4.15am- sent to labour ward, was guided by the nurse on how to push..
push for 10 odd times, baby head can see le.. but they say now dont push already, have to wait doctor come..
(i was thinking OMG, i pushed for so hard, what if the head goes back inwards?)


4.45am- gynae came.. pushed for 2nd time and baby is out..
baby put on me, but i was too tired to have any reaction, so i just look at my baby for awhile and the nurse carried him away..
gynae stitched me up, while hubby took pic of baby..


5.15am- sent back to ward to rest..
hubby went home slp..
