Finally I can share my own LRD story. I was feeling so tired a week to my labour day. I kept talking to baby, “hurry up and come out jor”. Thank God I started my maternity leave two weeks to my due date because I ended up giving birth to my baby a week earlier than the due date.
In the early hours of Tuesday, I had serious pain on my lower back. It was as if a welder was hitting my back with his hammer. Chai! I kept asking my husband to massage my back. By afternoon, I started spotting. Then I knew my labour was close. I quickly packed my bags, called my driver, called my husband. By 5pm, I carried my bags and went to the hospital.
The Doctor then checked the width of my cervix. He said something like 3cm. They had to admit me oo. Every other hour, a nurse or doctor will come and put their hands in my vagina to check the width of the cervix. By now ehn, I don tire. The pain had gotten worse on my waist and my back. I told the nurses to stop coming to check the cervix jare. Throughout the night, the pain kept going and coming.
By 3am Wednesday morning, my cervix was at 6cm. I had to ask for the doctor to induce me because my water had not broken. My water broke at 9:30am and the contraction started to hit harder. I stopped counting 1-10. I was counting 1-30, 1-40 very loudly. I would pull my husband’s ear when counting. The pain was intense. By 1:30 in the afternoon, the cervix was 8-9cm. They then carried me into the theatre.

Doctors gave me another shot to induce me.
The doctor said I should start pushing. I was already tired with the whole stress. He was saying he could see the baby’s head.

By this time, my husband had ran away from the theatre.
Doctor had to call him back so he can support me while I pushed. They cut me so my baby’s head could come out. When the doctor saw that the baby was a big one, they had to use a vacuum to bring him out. I was scared when I heard a sharp noise “pom”!
I thought they had cut of my baby’s head so I shouted. Doctor laughed and asked me to calm down.
I pushed again and my baby was out finally. They placed my baby on my stomach. He was so big, so handsome. They cut off the umbilical cord and had to stitch me up. My baby just started sucking immediately as if he learned how to suck from the womb.
