Some ppls are telling me to "exercise", e.g. go for a walk so that it's easier to deliver.
Did you do that as well?

I'm a teacher and exercise wasn't really a problem. I had to walk about in class and change classrooms every hour, going up and down the stairs. 4 levels. Cos I teach mostly Art, I hardly get to sit down during school hours. In fact, the doc had to ask me to take it easy.

I woke up at 3am cos it was fasting month. Went to the toilet to find blood on my undies. Then I thought: but no pain lei. I was 39wks then. I told my hubby and he got so excited and panicky at the same time. We decided to go eat first then go to the hospital. Reached KK 5plus almost 6am. I still didn't feel any pain. The nurses put me on 2 monitors, one for the baby's heartbeat and one to measure my contractions, for about an hour and a half before my doctor arrived. When he did, he told me I was 4cm dialated and having contractions. I was thinking: oooh ok, not so bad la, I'm not really feeling the contractions.

So we walked to the delivery room. 6 hours later, I was feeling the contractions, though I thought they were still tolerable. But I was still only 4cm dialated! So doc examined me and said I was too tense down there that's why not dialating. He said if I took the epi, will help me to relax and dialate faster. So I did and slowly I did dialate faster.

By the time I delivered, it was almost 6pm. 12 hours! hahaha... My hubby was so excited his eyes were so huge even though I knew he was so tired. My bb cried only a little and procceeded to stare at everything. Such huge eyes! :P

My hubby was telling everyone that I walked into the delivery suite while everyone else was wheeled in. hahaha... But I think for my next one, I'll be smarter: start to feel contractions then go hospital.

so u're tense down there but relax on the waist up? haha.. j/k la.. glad your delivery was smooth .

hey i also walking to the delivery room! haha.. so kuukuu bird! so in pain untill never cross my mind to ask sumone to wheel me up... and worse in the middle of contraction need to walk a long way to the delivery room coz we went up from the wrong lift which go to patient room gee haha.
my hubby also blur and panic so didnt notice bout it also..

ya i should've go to hospital earlier too.. so i guess next tme too.
