1 June
0124 - Woke up to contractions. 7mins apart, 40secs each time. Went to hub's room to sleep instead after packing my final things into my hospital bag.
0300 - Informed hubs of my contractions; 5mins apart, 1min each time, for past 1hr.
0330 - Took a warm bath
0350 - Headed to AMK Park McDonald's for breakfast
0515 - Observation ward. Vaginal Examination: 3-4cm dilated
0525 - Administered soap solution to clear bowel
0530 - Pooped a bucket of shit
0630 - Contractions at 2min intervals
1000 - Contractions at 5min intervals
1800 - Gynae did VE, still 4cm dilated. Advised us to go to our ward. We decided not to burst the water bag to minimise risk of passing GBS to baby.
1820 - Went up to 2 bedded ward (yay to free upgrade!)
2200 - Exhausted from the long labour and intensifying contraction pains, we decided to get epidural (like finally after 21hrs of contractions). Informed the nurses we would like to go back to labour ward.

2230 - Epidural administered. Finally caught up with some sleep.
