I Delivered a Baby Girl- Part 2

Assalamualaikum and good day!

Haiya sebulan satu ka blog ni berfungsi? haha.. Resolusi 2014 nampaknya masih tak tercapai la gini.. uhuk.

Rasanya I have to write juga about my delivery part-2, sebab lama-lama tangguh nanti takut terlupa. Terlupa? Takdelah.. Tak mungkin lupa bersalinkan anak, kan? Tapi mungkin lupa perincian penuh. Ingat perincian besar je. hehe..

So, last time around I said it was just a false alarm kan? Balik rumah, then kena gelak oleh Haziq dan ibu. Okay okay takpe-takpe. But deep inside I know well I akan bersalin very-very soon. Mungkin bakal sama tarikh with ayah? (27th November is also the birth date of my ayah). Kita pun rest je lah that night, watching TV, naik bilik, solat2 dan naik katil main internet. 

It was 12middle of the night I dah mula rasa uncomfortable. Perut nak kata rasa sakit tu takla but then macam senak dan ada contraction sikit. I mengiring ke kiri dan ke kanan try to avoid that pain, telling myself it might be another false alarm. Since the light was off, my husband pun dah berdengkur kat sebelah, I better shut my eyes too. I pun tertidur la.. 

Until around 2 am, I rasa macam wet. I tak gerak pun. that time I was mengiring ke kiri kalau tak silap. So I touched my bed, macam basah la - I thought-. But still, I tak berani nak bergerak. Kaku like that. I called my husband several times, until he woke up (well, it was 2am and he was in deep sleep already). Suruh my husband switch on the light dan tengok what was it behind me. He did so, and said,

"Sayang, basahla ni. Ni air ni..." -

"OK" I replied. 

"Then we need to head to hospital lar. That nurse cakap kalau keluar air , segera ke hospital"

My husband then said "Then bersiap lar"

Tiba-tiba I teringat dari pembacaan kat internet semua said bila dah masuk hospital nothing you can do just lay there, and sometimes the contraction could takes hours and hours menunggu bukanya pintu rahim. and you are in pain, you can do nothing. Even after delivery pun sakit la itu la ini la so I thougt I need to make myself clean dulu lah. I pun turun dari katil and told my husband that I need to shower first. Although that time standing up dah rasa sakit dah tau. Looking at me terbongkok-bongkok while walking to get my towel, husband asked, 

"Are you okay? Boleh tahan lagi ke? Boleh mandi ke?"

I said " Yup, I can. Abang bersiap jelah"

I tengok husband pun macam mamai je. I terus turun bawah and enjoy my hot shower. Bestnya mandi pukul 2.30 pagi kann..Lepas mandi I bersiap-siap pakai maxi dress je (senang sarung je kan-no need pants bagai), ambil beg, beg baby, beg I and terus ketuk pintu ibu ayah. Both bangun and mamai-mamai wishing us well. Masuk kereta, it was 3am already, and my husband drove off to hospital. Husband tak panik pun, luckily, I even asked him to take sweet tiome driving and drive as slow as he can sebab I tak suka terhentak-hentak atas jalan/ bumper.

Sampai hospital around 3.30 am dah. Masuk PAC, bagi kad, tukar baju semua macam biasalah I disuruh baring untuk cek bukaan. A doctor came and masa inspect tu 'plushhh', my water broke lagi. Oh rupanya masa kat rumah tu tak habis. Dekat PAC room pun water broke lagi hehe.. Doctor said dah 4cm, i can go to labour room. So a nurse came and bawa I ke labour room naik wheelchair. Masa tu baju yang basah tu dah bagi husband, masuk plastik. Sempat kerling jam dinding kt situ, dah pukul 4am. 

Sampai labour room. I was a bit cemas sebab yela tak pernah masuk labour room kan. Ingat kan macam dewan bedah dalam TV tu. hehe.. Rupanya macam wad jugak la.. Seingat I macam wad je, kiri dan kanan ada bilik (just like bilik-yang ada dalam ward). But, in that bilik, u bersalin baby. So dalam wad bersalin tu maybe ada sepuluh ke (or more) bilik bersalin. Besar bilik tu macam bilik ward lah- yang kat IJN tempat paklong I masuk ward dulu. atau besar bilik ward kt Ampang Puteri masa my mom masuk situ dulu. (eh lupa, did I mention I deliver kat Hospital Ampang? ). hehe..

Eh, sibuk pulak cerita pasal bilik. Ok lepas I baring atas katil bersalin dalam bilik tu , a nurse came and balut perut dengan CGI. Eh CGI pulak. ECG ke apa nama yang measure conraction tu. nampak la signal2 bagai kat skrin tu, macam signal time histories beamforming? NO. hahaa. Dalam hati cemas, tapi luar I buat muka rileks je senyum-senyum dengan husband. Husband dah pergi ambil baju baby bagi pada nurse tu. Atas kepala I ada topeng gas. Dinding yang menghadap muka I tu ada tampal ayat doa nabi Yunus tu. Dan atmosphere sangat tenang dengan alunan mengaji al-Quran yang pihak hospital pasang. Selang seli dengar la juga bunyi rengekan bayi. Ada bayi baru lahir kot. Jam dah 4.30 am dah masa tu. Sebelum husband I masuk ada doktor (malangnya doktor lelaki- uhukk) cek bukaan. Tak sure cek ke apa but 'plushhh' again there goes my water. Dia mungkin pecahkan air ketuban lagi kot. He said masa tu dah 5cm. Nasib baik time tu je doktor lelaki tu ada. lepas tu he went away n never showed up dah. Yess. hehe. 

Ada dua nurse datang and bersiap2, pakai glove, ajar guna mask and cek-cek semua. Sambil cakap to me and my husband yang biasanya for first baby bukaan akan buka at the rate of 1cm per hour. So we have to wait until 10cm, so another 5cm, means another 5hours. Sekarang pukul 4 lbih, maybe akan bersalin dalam pukul 9am macam tu. Okay lah. Masa tu I dah start contraction lah. Masa dalam labour room tu, baru I rasa satu contraction yang amat kuat, yang I tak pernah experienced kat rumah mahupun kat PAC room. Tangan kiri I genggam lengan husband while tangan kanan genggam palang besi katil tu. After a while, it went away kan. Tercungap-cungap I ambil nafas balik. (Eh, sambil taip ni, boleh tak nafas I tertahan-tahan tercungap hahaha cemas lebeyyy). Nurse cakap, bila contraction ambil la mask tu pakai. Husband tried to put it on me. But I rasa tak boleh bernafas la bila pakai mask tu. Lemas rasanya. Sedut2 tapi macam lagi kurang oksigen ada la.. So I campak tepi je la cakap kat my husband I taknak. 

Tengok-tengok jam dah 5 suku macam tu. I contraction lagi. Genggam lengan husband kuat2 lagi. Peluh dah merembes2 keluar. Husband put that mask on me lagi but I threw away. Rasa nak marah pun ada sebab I dahla menahan cungap, letak mask tu on my mouth langsung tak boleh nafas. Sekali nurse cek buka dah 7cm. Nurse cakap my skin was thin , so thin that it opens so fast. Nurse cakap I am going to deliver earlier. Real soon. 

"Cepat ni." She said.

"Tak lama dah ni." She added.

Erm okay la whatever. I tengok muka husband, nampak dia pandang I penuh kasih. Eceh, I perasan je ni. Kasih ke abang? haha. Mestila kasih kan, I mothered his beautiful daughter. :) Eh, terkeluar topik. Ok, back.

Kalau tak silap ada lagi dua contraction I rasa. Sekali contraction, 1cm opens. I rasa macam nak terB dah masa lepas contraction tu. Tak tau kenapa rasa nak terB sangat. Biasanya before entering labour room, kita diberi pil untuk bagi kita membuang dulu kan. But  I wasnt given that pill. But secara tiba-tiba, macam mendengar je isi hati I , nurse cakap ,

"Kalau rasa nak terB, B jelah"

EH? Boleh ek. I pun teran lah.

Then nurse tu cakap,

"Lagi. Lagi.. Teran kuat lagi"

EH? Sat ni teran B ke teran baby. haha. Ohhh rupa-rupanya I tengah teran baby. Sempat kerling Jam 5.30 am masa tu. Sambil menyebut zikir n nama Allah, I teran la. "HUUH!" at my best. 

"Laaa, macam tu je awak teran? Teran kuat lagi. Ambil nafas dalam dan teran lama-lama" said the nurses. 

Hahaha I bukan macam teran B k, I am worst than that. Macam teran kentut. So pendek. HAHAHAHA.

"I tak attend kursus persediaan bersalin tu hence I tak tau nak teran macam mana. Several times I teran tapi baby tak keluar. I dah tak rasa contraction(aah, why ek?) Ada several articles said teran masa contraction. But I dajh tak rasa contraction lagi and the nurses (ada 2 orang nurse) keep asking me tu cepat teran, cepat teran. Haiiihh.. Penat la nurse, bagi lah I rest dulu kot ya pun. I took long deep breath and teran at my best sampai keluar urat2 leher dada and merah2 muka. Sangat lama tak bernafas. Semput okay. Bila I tarik nafas balik. Nurse cakap,

"Dah nampak rambut dah baby, awak teran tak habis"

I pandang my husband. He said,

"Sayang, kepala baby dah nampak tapi termasuk balik"

Apa?? Termasuk balik? Nak putus nafas I teran baby termasuk balik? "ERGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sepanjang2 yang paling I ingat la I teran that time, sampai I can feel my face get hot- tanda muka I dah  merah macam lobster-. Then Alhamdulillah. Suddenly dengar suara tangis baby menjerit-jerit. Nurse said Assalamualaikum and put the baby on my stomach. 

Husband lap2 my sweat dengan my own tudung. Actually I dah prepare towel untuk lap peluh dalam my bag. Tapi husband tinggalkan bag kat mana entah. So dia capai tudung jer untuk lap2 I yang basah kuyup meneran. Tak putus ucap Alhamdulillah, I smiled, laughed and trembled. Menggigil sebab apa entah. Sama ada sejuk atau apa tak tau. But I gigil so much that my gigi terketap2 berbunyi2. I gelak tengok baby kuit2 sampai nurse tanya tu ketawa ke menangis. Ketawa sambil menggigil, bunyi macam nangis dah. haaha.. So happy la that time. Aww.. sekarang pun rasa nak nangis. lol.

It was 5.56am , 27th of November 2013 (same birth date with my ayah)- the time Alya menjerit-jerit dah tiba ke dunia. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Segala puji bagi Allah yang menurunkan rezeki dan memberi belas kasih. Maknanya dekat setengah jam jugak lah dari I mula teran yang pertama. hehe. Husband azankan Alya dan nurse potong chord and take Alya away untuk dibersihkan. Husband was asked to leave the room as nurse nak mulakan proses menjahit. 

Well, that was all about Alya's entrance to this world. Jahit was another thing, tho. A nightmare. Macam tak berani je nak cerita kat sisni. Even thinking about it I dah terasa ngilu. What more to write about it? haha. So I better skip it lah. After 1 hour, I met Alya balik dan tunggu nurse datang sorong I ke wad. Husband was at my side. I masuk bilik ward around 9am, Alya was left with me tapi husband diarah balik since it was not visiting hours yet. Sedihnya. Belum sempat nak cerita kat husband pasal kena jahit tadi. Dan husband pun belum dukung ALya pun lagi. But guuard sgt tegas. Takpela, I said. I pun nak baring dan husband pun kene bawa uri balik dan tanam kan. 

So off husband balik almost 10am macam tu with the uri. Left me with my bags and Alya. I looked and stared at Alya, sleeping so peacefully. So comel. ahhhh. Rindu Alya talking about her. ehehehe..

Opps. I spent so much time writing this.Till later kay . Bye~ ^_^

Typical Morning Rush of He and She

Morning rush.

He - wakes up, showers, dress, powder, perfume, brush hair, change lil' one's diaper, brings lil one downstairs, sweet time breakfast, starts car engine

She - wakes up, breastfeed lil one, sorts ebm, wash last night's bottlemilk, rush to shower, dress, pumping session (managed only 6 oz coz of lack of time n nature's call), stuck in toilet (may due to yesterday's kenduri - unusual occation), tidy up bedrooms, collects all the dirty diapers and throw them in dustbin (he left in on the bed), get lil one's bag and stuff ready, store this morning's pumped ebm, wash the breastpump equipments, wipe them up with tissue to speed up the drying process, get the thermal milk bag ready (make sure ice packs, breastpump , and at least 4 cleaned storage bottles inside), grab whatever hijab she can, brings all the bags inside car WHILE wearing the hijab.

IT IS 8.15AM.

He - giving the ' you are SUPER LATE look'

She - ......

Note that despite the OBVIOUS 7 vs 2 lines, SHE misses to powder(or make up), perfume, brush hair, breakfast.....

Even without the unusual nature's call, this is the regular morning rush of He and She.

P/s : thank you for changing the diaper after I instructed you to.

Akaun Tabung Haji dan SSPN Alya

Assalamualaikum.
Sekarang jam 11, masih belum sampi UKM lagi. 2 jam ni urusan banyak dihabiskan di bank. Pukul 9 dh berada di bank islam bangi tapi malangnya pekerja sedang mengambil wang dri mesin atm, jdi bank belum dibuka untuk orng ramai. Terpaksa berdiri-diri di luar sehingga setengah jam kemudiannya. Niat nak buka akaun tabung haji untuk Alya. Senang bila bila free boleh masukkan wang dalam akaun simpanan tabung haji alya. Semua untuk masa depan Alya juga. Tapi kecewa lagi bila pegawai bank mengatakan bahawa akaun tabung haji untuk anak hnya boleh dibuka di cawangan tabung haji sendiri. Untuk tidak menjadikan penantian aku sia-sia, aku mengambil borang untuk mendaftarkan akaun SSPN untuk Alya. Mungkin agak awal kerana Alya baru 2 bulan lebih, but the sooner the better kan orang kata. Demi jaminan masa depan Alya juga.

Selesai urusan, aku bergegas ke Kompleks Diamond, Bangi di mana terletaknya Pejabat Tabung
Haji cawangan. Selesai mengisi borang dan mengambil nombor, aku menanti sekitar 15minit sebelum nomborku dipanggil. Sekali lagi aku kecewa apabila dikhabarkan aku dimestikan memiliki akaun indipendent sebelum boleh membuka akaun baru untuk Alya. Akaun tabung haji ku sekarang masih di bawah nama ibu. Hai ibu, dah 27 tahun umur ni dah beranak sorang pun, masih letak akaun saya bersama dengan ibu? Kecewa nampaknya penantian sia-sia. Sudahlah pejabat tabung haji tidak bnyak macam cawangan bank utama yang lain.

Nampaknya aku harus menyelesaikan urusan akaun bersama aku dan ibu dahulu sebelum boleh membuka akaun untuk anakku Alya. Harap-harapnya urusan tersebut boleh selesai dalam minggu ini juga. Duit sedekah orang ramai untuk Alya harus segera disimpan dalam akaunnya sendiri. Selepas ada akaun, suamiku boleh la buat potongan gaji bulanan untuk simpanan di akaun Alya. Semoga perancangan jangka panjang kami untuk masa depan Alya dipermudahkan urusannya oleh Yang Maha Kuasa.

I Delivered a Baby Girl - Part 1

Salam and hello gentle readers.

I feel sorry for my poor blog, I have been busy with my life and neglecting my own diary. I wish I can write everyday just like I did in 2009 and 2010. As years went by, my blogposts decrease , become less and less every year. Oh it is still January, so I can make this wish as one of my 2014 resolution - to write more and more in my blog. About my newborn Alya, my study thingy, business thingy, life thingy, random posts and whatever I feel like blogging. =)

Okay back to the main topic. I delivered a beautiful baby girl, my heir, on 27th of November 2013. It was 2 days past my due date. I was told that I would deliver on 25th of November 2013. But deep inside I know from the very beginning that the due date was not exactly true, which is because I do not know the date of my last period. So 25th November 2013 was just a doctor's estimation. 

However on Sunday 24th of November, I did feel a painful contraction. It was a mild one in the morning, but getting stronger in the afternoon. I was at Taman Cempaka at that time, my mother in law quickly asked my husband to bring me to hospital right away, afraid of me delivering in the house. hehe. We waited until 4, and then went back to Taman Kosas to get my stuff. my mom said I did not look like I was in pain. Yeah actually she was right. The intensity of my pain decrease, I noticed that the contraction is irregular. But we went to the hospital anyway. At 6pm, we were already in front of the hospital when suddenly I felt ike I wasnt ready. I really did not feel like going inside. My pain was gone completely. I asked my husband to haave dinner first at McDonald located across the hospital. He was worried, of course, almost unwilling to fulfill my demand but I beg him saying I cannot eat McDonalds during my confinement period so that would be the last time and it worked. I ordered Big Mac, showing how huge my desire was hahaha. After dinner I felt totally fine, the pain totally went away and I asked my husband to return back home. OF COURSE, he refuse. haha. He drove me to the hospital back, and I was asked to went in PAC (Patient Assessment Centre) to check my condition while husband went to register at the counter.

Inside the PAC room, I was asked to undress and changed to hospital attire, leaving only bra. They wrapped me (I learned that it was CTG- to check my baby's heartbeat and my uterus contraction). After a while a nurse came and said she's going to examine my cervix opening. Okay, it was when I realized that it was the famous 'seluk" everybody kept talking about. She inserted something or her own fingers- I do not know-, inside my vagina and yes, it was painful. Bearable, but painful. I remember she said "when you are pushing later in the labor, do not lift your butt okay, you might cause wide tear if you lift it". I was only 1 cm dilated at that time so she said most probably I would have to go home. Several minutes later a young doctor came in. I figured she should be the housemen office. She looked awkward, a little bit slow (she asked me the same questions repeatedly as she forgot my answer as she keyed in my info in the computer). and owh, she typed realllyyy slow too. Not something I expected as a doctor should work fast. I saw she was being ordered around by older nurses, and she just kept quite. After half an hour passed just to key in my general info, she said she was going to check my cervix opening. Surprised, I told her the nurse examined like, an hour ago and it was only 1 cm. But she said that was nurse, as a doctor, she has to check it too. I just have to allow her =(/ The second examination showed I was 2cm dilated. She said I might have to go home. But first I have to wait for Medical Officer to come and check our condition. So I was allowed to go out of the PAC room and waited together with my husband in that pink attire.

Several minutes later I saw an Indian medical officer and she started calling us one by one to get in a small room to be examined. It was a room where they did a scan to check on the baby's position. As I went in, she said she does not need to do a scan on me because I just did that sonography scan last Tuesday. So she said she just need to check on my cervical opening. Surprised again, I shrieked and told her I have been examined twice, the latest was by a house officer. But she replied that was that house officer's, and she need to check by herself too. I just nodded and had to agree with her. But during her 'seluk', I did not experience any pain as she did very gently and everything went smooth. I was still 2 cm open and she decided I need to go home first. so I changed back to my dress and we went back home that night about 10.30 pm, got laugh at by my mom and my little brother. haha. What an experienced. 

This write up about false alarm is too long isn't it? I guess the moment I delivered had to be shifted into next post. So please wait for my part 2 story ya. ^_^
