Preggy + BF + Ramadhan : Part II

I was about to blog about the memories during Ramadhan after being a mother. Saja duk belek entry lama, haiseh dah pernah blog pun. *hover nak repeat bnyk kali, ingat Astro ke ape ?? ;)* Yang bestnye dalam entry tu, *silalah baca kalau sudi, pastu boleh gelakkan I* punya confident, "owh No No No..I'm not yet conceive for 2nd one ahaks!" -- sekali tengok, tak payah cakap bnyk, 10 hari sebelum raya tuptup dah sangkut. Still remember kenangan berpuasa tahun 2010, mase tu conceived Ryan. The most challenging part so far being a preggy mommy and yet still breastfeeding my first son *that time Adam not yet 2 yrs* If you ask me now, of course I would say, sgt sgt challenging but yet, as the time goes by, the memories started to fade away. Seboleh2nya tak nak ingat dah kenangan pahit tu. Sukar sgt waktu tu. With the bad health condition I had, sampai admitted sb dehydrated teruk sgt, yet I still have to fulfil my responsibility to breastfeed Adam. Sebab time tu, lagi 2 bulan Adam nak 2 years. Since 2nd pregnancy was the unplanned one, so Adam tak lagik bercerai susu, seriously nak stopkan Adam memang a challenge part yg pernah rasa dalam hidup. Syukur semua dah berlalu.Akan dijadikan pengajran buat si adik nya pulak.

Tapi itulah asam garam menjadi ibu, kan? Bukan senang. Lebih-lebih lagik di bulan puasa ni. Kalau yg tengah pregnant, lebih2 lagik baru conceived, kena pulak nausea yg tak berenti2, nak puasa pun dah tak terdaya, tahan je lah. Sabar dan banyak berdoa semoga dipermudahkan Allah. Kalau yang breastfeeding pulak, apalagik kalau tak risau stok susu menyusut tu kan??Untuk breastfeeding time Ramadhan, ni kali ke3 saya hadapi. Exclude tahun 2010, still pumping, tapi sb conceive, tiba2 supply terus drop, I stop pumping. Satu lagik, bila pregnant nipple jadik sensitive,so sakit sangat bila pump or breastfeeding. My first experience I had was during 2009, time tu Adam less than 1 year. Masa tu seriously buta terus pasal buat stock. Yang tahu kena breastfeed and pump. Stacking up stocks during confinement, ada buat tapi tak serious. So bila datang Ramadhan, terus depleted sampai tahap lepas 1 year tu, whatever pump were for next day consumptions. Stress gile.Lesson learnt very well. So last year 2011, I make enough stock. But still, sgt normal susu akan deplete walaupun 1-2 oz per day. Banyak tuuu..End up last year, stock ada berkurangan jugak.

And this year 2012, Adryan dah nak masuk 14months, Alhamdulillah still breasfeeding, sgt active but my stock to be frank takdelah meriah sgt. Boleh cover for few weeks aje. But InsyaAllah akan tetap berjuang. Compared to last year, if during sahur I just need to ensure kena amik makan berat, drink a lot of water and kurma, I took supplementary also. Just to reduce bodyache and tiredness I had. Ryan sekarang kalau boleh nk 24 hours hanging at my B. Kalau malam, bau mommy takde kat sebelah dah nangis, nak buat keje pun susah. Dah almost 1 week suffered with crack nips, Ya Allah. Tuhan saja yg tahu. Semoga kesakitan yg ku tahan ini, menjadikan daku lebih kuat untuk menempuhi dugaan mendatang. Amin. Alhamdulillah, walaupun perit dan sukar, bersyukur Allah memberi peluang untuk merasa segala nikmat-nikmat tersebut. Yang hanya ada pada insan bergelar IBU! Kalau tak takkan Allah bagi pelepasan untuk kaum ibu berbuka bila mereka gusar tentang kesihatan mereka atau risau susu untuk anak mereka berkurang, kan??We're so special my friends. *goose bumped*

InsyaAllah, if the supplementary works well to enhance my milk productions, will surely blog and share will my darling readers. Semoga dapat kita berjuang untuk memberikan makanan terbaik untuk bayi dan anak-anak kita.

To all those preggy mommies *lambai kat Che Mimi and Nana*, be strong. Banyak bersabar, InsyaAllah, semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan. And to all those breastfeeding mommies, semoga Allah memudahkan perjuangan kita. InsyaAllah. Direct feeding at night + pumping at work + eat well during sahur = consistent milk production!!You can do it hawt mommies!!*wah tetiba rs mcm semangat gila*
