I thought this would be the good day for me and Nate, but i was wrong. Early in the morning, we were so exciting heading towards the hospital, to welcome our little prince to the beautiful world. The sky was bright and the rainbow was shinning above our head, what a good sign to us.
9.45am, started putting the first tablets outside the cervix ( it was still very thick at that time) to soften the cervix, to let it dilate. The sensation came within few minutes. I started to feel numb from my pelvic down to the legs. Then the contraction started gradually. It was getting stronger and after lunch,i walked around at 12 noon as Dr told to do so. It was pretty good to walked around rather than lying on my back. The pain started to come and i had my CTG test ( for bb heart beat and contraction) in the late evening. The result shown the bb was doing very well with the contraction, however the contraction was too mild and my cervix was still very thick blocking the bb. Dr asked me to walked more, and even asked me to go out for shopping :) Mid night, 12.30am, Dr visited me again, mild contraction, no dilate. So , i have to wait for another day, to put in another tablets to induce it again:( It was quite disappointed at that time because i have to suffer the same process like the whole day.
I did not sleep well the whole, it could be worried and pressure i guess. Dr came at 10.30am, put in another tablet. This time he can put inside the cervix because it was much softer now compared with the day before. The pain came very fast this time and it was much more stronger. I had my CTG test at 2pm, it took about an hour and i was really suffered lying there with the strong pain. Again, bb was doing well too this time, the contraction was higher than before. According to the Dr, this level of the contraction was between 2.5 to 3 with 4 is the highest. However, i still cant deliver yet as the cervix was strongly holding back. Dr asked me to walk more, this time, i did not enjoy walking anymore as the contraction was really pain I forced myself to walk, i wanted it to dilate faster.
8pm, Dr came to check the cervix again. We all were very disappointed as no changes happened. My tear came out and i tried to control it as much as i could. I was totally freak out and hopeless. I didn"t know what to do as Dr said tomorrow tried again, putting the drip. What if, not successful again? We suggested to the Dr, we want to give up the process as physically and emotionally, we were both exhausted.
The 3rd days, early morning CTG tested, no contraction. Dr allowed us to discharge. We were both a bit down because the bb wasnt out yet and we need to monitor his movement very closely to make sure he is doing fine inside.
I thanks God for the strength given to us, I thanks for the family members' s support, I thanks for my hubby, for his care, love and company. I love you so much Low Gong.
Let's hope for the best , in someday, when he is ready
