what has happened:
22 Jun (Mon) - 見紅 in the morning, cdalled hospital, the nurse said i needed to go to the hospital. i knew pp wasn't ready, so we still went out for brunch, went to the solicitor in central, visited kaloo to look at the playmat and had tea before going to Union.
Stayed there in bed for an hour, no contraction, no other symptoms, waited to see dr. yuen and i could leave...
24 Jun (Wed) - 03:xx 穿羊水 while sleeping - i felt like i dreamt pp gave me a kick & popped - here we go, went for a shower, woke up pppp, called reception downstairs to get a taxi, picked up the packed bag and left home. No taxi could be found, so we walked out to the main street to get a taxi and arrived at 04:xx.
lay down in bed again, besides 穿羊水, didn't feel much pain, the contraction continued to happen only every 5 - 10 minutes.
07:xx the midwives called dr. yuen, and she orderd to give me 催生滴餾... at first, the contraction was a bit more frequent, but still not frequent enough... so they added the administration.
09:xx started to feel the pain, i started using 'laughing air', but it just made me feel dizzy and headache and didn't release the pain... i asked for pain-relief, and asked the midwife about epidural. the midwife inspected me and said i was almost there, so no point using epidural, and they gave me a pain-relieving injection instead. it helped only a little.
11:xx it opened to 8 / 9 degree, and i was sent to the delivery room. pppp was with me, and the midwives taught me how to breathe and how to push, then they asked me to stop (in the mid of the pain) practising because we needed to wait for dr. yuen.
when dr. yuen came, sat down and got ready, i pushed hard and the baby's head popped out. per pppp, dr. yuen was at that time trying to get the tool, but when she saw the head, she quickly reacted to catch pp's head.
pushing the head out was the greatest pain, and the shoulder was the second. afterwards, the baby was out. the midwife cleaned pp up, let us take pictures, let pp get close to my chest to prepare him for coming bf, and pp was taken away for checkup.
at the same time, dr. yuen was clearing the mess and tried to sew me up, i screamed for the pain again. dr. yuen said a few times 你真係好怕痛 and i said yes - 我真係好怕痛... :P
