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*

postnatal treatment review..

I love to use this picture..commeykan!

*courtesy google image

I should post this entry during my 44days confinement period and unfortunately I just managed to write the entry after 60 days of my maternity leave..
*Itu pun after my 2nd week working..aiyaa!!!
Ikutkan, nak cerita pasal my 44 days , dah tak sesuai title entry tu rasenye..
Lagipun kisah pantang saya bukanlah something yg bagus untuk dicontohi, since I have promised to review about my post natal treatment from my previous entry, and ada jgak yg request me to review about it..
There you go..InsyaAllah I will try to review as much as I can..
But after all, semuanya atas individu masing2..so this review is from my what I have experienced during confinement of my 2nd baby, Muhammad Adryan Nufael..

As my previous entry, I have decided to take post natal treatment from IREE and I have chosen Traditional Home Nursing for 3days..
* try dulu 3 hari kalau ok, kononnye nak sambung to 5days..

So the pakej content of :
Pakej B : Traditional Home Nursing (2-2.5 hrs daily)

         1. Prepare Herbal Bath for Mum
         2. Baby Bath (including jaundice treatment remedy; if necessary) – FREE Service
         3. Baby Massage – FREE Service
         4. Post Natal Massage
         5. Tungku (Heat Therapy)
         6. Bengkung (binder) + Slimming Cream / Herbal Paste (tapel)
         7. Herbal Drinks

My first day treatment was after my 5th day delivery..
So far, dealing with the owner Kak Ida is a smooth one..
She is so kind and yang paling penting sgt bertimbang rasa..
After my 2 days treatment, Ryan was admitted due to jaundice, I have to postpone my treatment to the following week..
Lucky she able to tolerate and did not charge me for any immediate changes..
* yelah kan, apa2 pun baby kena di utamakan..

My confinement lady aka the therapist is Camelia..
A Filipinos who has been working with Kak Ida for about 6months..
She's a nice lady and so far I'm satisfied with her job..
My hubby will pick up the therapist as early of 9am and once she arrived she will handled the baby while I'm having breakfast or ready the things for massage session..
I took herbal bath before the therapist arrived just to save the time so that I can enjoyed massage lama2 sket..hehehe ;)

Preparing the herbal bath..

Put some ginger, lemon grass and daun pandan with the herbal sachet..

Wangiiiiii...

Camelia while preparing lil Ryan for bath..

Before that, on the 1st day of treatment, Camelia will help u to measure the weight as well as the body fat % and etc etc mcm dekat gym tu..memang professional!

So my weight on my 5th day is 64kg, which I only lost only 6 kg during delivery...aiyarkkk!!

Then after semua dah settle, its time for massage..

Seriously massage session mmg best..massage oil dia pakai bau lemon n lemongrass gitu macam duk kat spa plak rase nye..

Normally we will spend around 1-1.5hrs for massage session and paling penting mesti pastikan Ryan dah kenyang betul before sessi ber"massage"2 tu..

Lepas dah siap massage, therapist akan tungku the whole body which took around 15-20 minute before she helped me to wear the bengkung with the tapel..

ooo..lepas selesai semua, badan pun dah ringan sket, minum plak peppermint ginger with honey suam2..memang rase duk kat spa lah..

Overall this service memang sangatlah professional as if u were at spa tengah memanjakan diri..

Both therapist and owner semua peramah and easy to liase with, during nak booking and buat payment till the day we received their service.. really make me satisfied with this post natal treatment..

As what Camelia explained, all therapist  at IREE are the foreigners,Indonesian and Filipinos, except the owner Kak Ida is a Malay..

But yet...alamak ada but plak..

I have experienced my 1st post natal treatment which in traditional way during my 1st child delivery at Terengganu..

A really traditional one and makcik bidan tu nama Cik Ani kat Losong..

Apa yang kurang with treatment from that spa is the therapist yg handle massage is a foreigner, again cara dia urut memang ala urut spa, orang kata bukan urut utk after bersalin punye..the ooouch ouuch aaahhh..;)

Then for sure takde "sangkak"--*betul ke word ni?? or baca ayat Quran mase urut kat bahagian peranakan kita..

I'm not sure about this but again I also had post delivery check with my gynae after 30days to check the stitches and uterus..Alhamdulillah everythings OK..

Bab bertungku plak, I guess she not familiar on how to handle this batu tungku compare makcik bidan kampung..

Hish skali tungku memang best satu badan..bayangkan ada orang yg amik untuk bertungku sahaja for 44days..

Boleh turut berat badan I tell you..

Instead to extend to 5days, I decided to stick to only 3 days treatment..

So during balik Terengganu after 1 month, nak tak nak carik makcik urut jugak..

Seriously, it really a different experience..

Sakit time urut macam nak tendang aje makcik ni * makcik lain yer!

Tapi lepas tu memang lega sgt..

Specially bab bertungku memang best, terus rase macam kurus sket..boleh ker??

Tang perut tu kempis lah sket! and price dia tak usah cakap jauh lebih murah lah kan..

Tapi yang tak tahan nak dengar, marah betul makcik tu sb I tak pantang betul2..

Bila dia tahu I'm not consistently using the bengkung during the last 2wk before jumpe dia and not practice self bertungku..adeeiii!!!

* pakai tu pakai..tapi dah lepas belasah makan pagi, and mandi kan Ryan baru pakai..boleh ker??

Memang betul apa yang makcik tu cakap, tapi nak buat camane,time tu duk bz buat thesis..

Adam plak ada kat rumah tak g nursery..2nd week tu dah bangun buat keje macam biasa dah..

Tinggal tak mop lantai aje...sian!

So after jumpe makcik tu, balik Shah Alam, I became more strict to myself..
Bertungku and wearing bengkung sampai my 44days..
But yet, berat badan I still around 59-60kg..camane???
* Agak2 naik lagi kut, last weekend belasah makan daging, pergi bnyk wedding!mak aiii!!
Yang tak tahan makcik tu cakap makan nasi 2 sudu je..gulp!
Gile ape..dalam hati aku..ya ya..2 senduk adelah..tak boleh jadik makcik nih..
Takpelah..dah jenis berat badan susah nak turun..terima ajelah..
Asalkan makan jadik susu bnyk untk Ryan..udah!
So buat mase skrang pergi keje n jalan2 ke, acik kena pakai skirtlah..
Dah kata hip tak mau masuk dah dgn sluar yang ade..;(

"Ape pasal mommy ni duk posing sakan?"

 

Hish dah jauh melalut..dari pasal post natal treatment review sampainye review berat badan sendiri..

So as conclusion, apa2 pun bergantung pada individu sendiri..

If u prefer the spa way..so IREE would be the best one!InsyaAllah..

But if u prefer the ooucchh ouuchhh ahhhhh massage, find a good bidan kampung aka makcik urut..

InsyaAllah for my next baby * ehem ehem..dah plan 3rd baby ke??

Rasenye nak berpantang kat kampung plak..

* my mother sudah pencen tahun depan..yeahhhaaa!!!suke suke!!

Time tu 44hari amik makcik bertungku, biar selim melim mommy Adam ni hah ;)  

Time delivery Adam, 4months maternity leave really can reduced my weight to 53kg..

I dont think, this will be happen again....waaaaa!!!  

And to all mommies yg currently expecting their babies..specially those yg dah 2nd, 3rd or ..,

Please ensure to take care of yourself..berpantanglah sebaik yang mungkin..

Use your 44days wisely, sb lepas tu bnyk tenaga nak pakai nak handle dua anak ni or more..

Yang expecting 1st baby tak payah risau..memang surely mak tak bagi buat pape dah..terlentang aje atas katil tu ah..hehehe ;)

If you asked me, I would say experience pantang kali ni mmg berbeza..

Tapi some people said, bila dah anak 2,3..takde nak nak rase pantang mcm 1st baby dulu..unless if u have someone to take of ur kids..It so true!
Tapi takpelah..I have using my 2 mos maternity leave wisely..
From building up the ebm stock, experimenting the cloth diapers and the most burden in my life, settelling my final dissertation...semua siap!
And my last week of maternity leave is the most enjoyable one..wait for my next entry..;)

Oklah, I'm not sure whether I have covered everything about the post natal treatment..

But if you need to ask for detail, drop me a comment below or pm at nadya_1901@hotmail.com

InsyaAllah I will try my best to reply soonest as possible!

And last but not least, thank you guys.. sudi datang jenguk mommy tengah berpantang.. ;)

Appreciate it!

Till then..;)

ps : adeh.. 2 hari den amik maso nk post entry ni, camano neh??..;)

      

Delivery Moment of Adryan Nufael..

Dah nak masuk sebulan, baru sempat post entry pengalaman bersalin 2nd baby..
Kalau dapat post day after delivery, baru best..sb kenangan tu masih segar diingatan..
Ni dah masuk 1 month, campur urat2 yg dah banyak putus, harap2 masih dapat cerita detail..
owh bahaya jgak kalau dah tak ingat kenangan labor, nanti karang ter"accident" 3rd baby plak..grrrrr~~~~
hahaha..seriously, kenangan labor Adam dulu still segar diingatan..just after Adam 18months, trauma labor tu dah kurang sket2...baru bersedia for 2nd baby..tuptup tak lama terus concieved..

Sorry, it might be a long entry...
But yet, I still insisted to keep all the sweet memories for this delivery..

30th March 2011
****************
It was on Wednesday and I have started the contractions since a week ago..mild and every half to an hour contractions..
The contractions keep coming frequently since Monday and became more intense day by day...
We decided to text the gynae, and she asked me to come to the clinic for check up..http://mommynadia.blogspot.com/2011/03/clock-ticking.html
Hubby came back during lunch time, at 3 pm, we left the house to pick up Adam at nursery..
After sent Adam to Che Mimi house, we straight away heading to UMSC..
* Kali ni hubby tak makan pujuk nak singgah Subang Parade, pekena white coffee uncle lim ke secawan..rejected!
Reached the UMSC clinic, Prof Siti frowned at me when I said I might be in labour soon..* thats me..confident gile lebih dr doc ;)
She asked me to lie down on bed to check the cervix opening..
And to her surprised, I was 2cm dilated..she quickly check my pregnancy file and again surprised when I just at early of 37wks..
I said to her that Adam also delivered during my 37 wks..;) * again muka confident that I will be in labor soon! ;)
Prof Siti did something, she said like sweeping or stripping technique to help opening of my cervix, then she said I will be in 3cm dilated and ready for the labour..;)
Apalagi kena tahan la jawabnye..So we straight away heading to UMSC Lily Ward in PPUM..
Moral of the story..Always trust to mother instinct ;)

Myself at few days before delivery..weighed 69.9kg <---lagi boleh tak nak genapkan 70kg..kuikuikui

31st March 2011
*****************
It was a normal contraction every 10-15min..
I was sleeping soundly that night..agaknye sb dah tak payah nak risau monitor contraction..
* Paling kurang kalau nak terberanak sgt pun, just panggil midwife yg tgh standby tu..
Supposedly Prof Siti should came that night, but she called me and informed that she wanted the cervix to ripen normally and let the contractions became stronger..
Kalau malam tu dia datang and broke my waterbag, I guessed tengah malam tu dah selamat deliver..nasibla..
The midwife came every few hours for CTG..baby's heartbeat and contraction monitoring!
And the whole morning to afternoon, we just watching tv and surfing internet while waiting for Prof Siti to come..

3.30 pm
I was shocked to see the sign of blood, seketul mcm darah period gtu time nk buang air..
Time Adam dulu mane nak ada early signs of delivery ni..
I called the midwife to confirm in case with that blood sign, I will be in labour in any minutes..
The midwife then confirmed it was a normal early sign of labor..

At the labor room

Sementara tgu Prof Siti datang, ni lah my last food to enjoy before

 pantang and energy during pushing time..nasi lemak n air teh..!

7.00pm
The gynae came..Prof Siti a lil bz that day as she has handled the master student's exam..
And the drama begin..
Prof Siti immediately check my cervix opening and she said the baby's head started to engage..
So she decided to rupture the membrane/broke the water bag..
The 1st few minute, I still ok and a lil bit painful at the beginning..
And suddenly I heard the gynea asked my hubby to get the entonox aka gas for me..
Started from that moment..I was at the other world..
Pelik sgt rase that feeling..macam tengah menari2 with the afro hair and white bell bottom, dancing on the white stage..
I tried myself to connect with the real world, but I cant..
Until I heard my hubby's whispered near to my right ear, teach me to consistently breath..
I followed watver he said, and at this time I can feel that I hold his hand tightly..Tapi memang tak rase sakit pape..
Only during at one time, it was so painful till I can feel that I was screaming loudly..
There was a weird sound every time I exhaled and inhaled the gas..Somethings that I cannot explained!
After 10-15min, then I heard the gynea's voice..and and pastu baru sedar..
The 1st question came out from my mouth.."Is it over??"
Everyone laughed at me..It just begun ..
Actually Prof Siti helped me to remove out my amniotic fluid sb banyak sgt..and lucky she said I wasn't had my waterbroke at home b'cos the baby's head can possibly turn..Syukur..
So with the helped of the gynae, she able to control the baby's head while removing the amniotic fluid..

Owh yea, reminder to myself! : Next baby kena control makan as I really had the gest diabetic during pregnancy, no more argue..it true Nadia!!!So beware ;)

8.00 pm
An hour later,  the contraction became more intense..
The 1st few hours, I still can cooped with the contractions..
Boleh siap main2 lagik ngan En Hubby..duk counting the max contraction % I can achieved..
After that, hubby need to help me to supply the entonox to relief the pain..sb contraction dah become stronger and stronger..
Seboleh2nye hubby tak nak bagi sgt sedut gas tu bnyak2..takut nanti duk mamai aje..
Plus consistently sedut gas tu boleh buat jadik khayal terok..macam yg kena time broke waterbag tu la..tak mau lagik!


11.45pm
The gynea arrived, dalam sedar tak sedar, I heard the gynea askde me to start pushing..
"Cepat, u nak baby 31st March ke April fool baby...??"
Dalam hati..mane2 lah doc..tak boleh tahan dah ni..grrrrr~~~~~
Few minutes later, everything was ready and I prepared to start pushing..
But yet after few minutes..the 2nd drama began..
Again, I was entered to the same world as I had during the waterbroke..
I was singing, dancing...lalallalaa..
Until at one time, I removed the gas and asked hubby.."baby dah kuar ke??"
"He said not yet..baru 8cm, we have to wait for 10 cm baru senang nak push!!'
Arrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!! No more gas after this..I keep remind myself for not overdose taking the gas..
but that the only way to relief the pain at this stage..
Dah 8cm to 10 cm mmg stage paling sakit..tak boleh nak gambar kesakitan tu..berpusing2 atas katil..hubby keep telling for not used so much energy..Mana maunye..

1st April 2011 

***************
12.00am to 1.00 am

After 10 - 15min, the gynea came again, and I'm ready to push, its already 10 cm..dah tak sabar sb tak boleh tahan sakit dah..

Rasenye sb banyak sgt amik gas tu, with more energy dah wasted before, I dont really have much energy to push..
Seriously, the gas and the pethidine really make me drowsy and restless..
Pethidine ni midwife datang cucuk time aku 8cm..buat bazir je..dah tak effect pape pun..
Lagi buat aku khayal n drowsy adelah..tgh mamai midwife dtg tanya nak pethidine tak..iye ajelah jawabye..
Cuma tny nak epidural tak time ni?Mesti iye kan jugak agak2nye...;)

Lucky prof and hubby sabar menunggu..she asked my hubby to calm down myself..
I really in lalalala land..langsung tak push..
Suddenly somethings has motivated me..Of course Mr Hubby yg setia memberi semangat kat tepi katil ni..
I removed the gas and started to think rationally...
Mase dalam lalala land tu boleh pikir nak c-ser plak..mengarut betul...
After that, baru lah I start pushing..after few attempts, the 3.65 kg baby boy berjaya dikeluarkan..
There were few stitches, lantaklah..asal kuar aje, tak kisah dah..
Alhamdulillah, I have safely delivered my 2nd baby at 1.00 am on natural birth..Thanks to Allah and Prof Siti for a safe and normal delivery ...Syukur!

Without hubby yang setia berdiri sambil supply gas for more than 5 hours, I guessed I will surrendered..

Thanks dear, seriously I just followed wateva u instructed me..from breathing techniques till time to start pushing, memang betul2 rely on you..I was so restless and drowsy at that time..thank you so much for being there for me..;)

Next time, please do not supply more gas to me yer bie!!

* Alah bila dah sakit, tak ingat ape dah..nanti ada yg kena marah kalau tak bagi kut...ehehehehe ;)

Alhamdulillah..

Welcome to the family..

Muhammad Adryan Nufael

The 1st precious hour of breastfeeding and mommy and child 1st bonding...

What a beautiful moment...Thanks to Almighty..

The first few hours..

After taking bath..

During discharged..

Rasenye pengalaman kali ni tak bnyk beza time deliver Adam..bezanya time Adam it was a first experience..

And Adryan ni plak,sb size nye yg besar sket..* sikit ke???huih tak mboh dh baby beso!!

2nd baby ni, up till the day in labor, baru baby's head started to engage..kalau tak every check up prof keep saying kepala baby tinggi lagi..

And time contractions, bleh rase baby's head turun to the right position..itu yg bertambah sakit..

Some people said, kalau gap with prev baby more than 2yrs,sakit nak bersalin macam sama prev baby..kalau gap dalam 1 year, cervix opening pun cepat and baby pun cepat lahir...owh macam tu ker...;)

ps: 

InsyaAllah 3rd baby in next 3yrs..;)

Kalau tanya sy serik tak beranak???owh sekarang sy akan jawab yer!!!

Sakiiiitttttt nye!!

But seriously it was a beautiful moment in my life...and also for every mother in this world..kan??

Till then...

clock ticking!

picture courtesy of google image!

owh bun dalam oven belum kuar lagik...

Kalau time Adam dah selamat kuar dah pagi ni..

Orang kata kalau still boleh duk depan lappy siap update blog..paham2 lah yea..

Memang dah consistent contraction, but belum tahap intense tu lagik...

Tahap rasa nak geget semua orang...huwaaa...takutttt!!!

Ramai dah msg thru phone n fb..ingat baby dah kuar..well thanks for the supports and prayers..

We are still waiting the rite time to come..

Wonder awal2 lagik I dah serah diri??

Instead of contraction yg dah start rase since Tues and rapidly yesterday..

Myself decided to text the gynae and asked her to confirmed the dilation..

Kesnye..during antenatal check on Monday..the gynae warned me to stay calmly sb dia takde on weekend ada meeting nun kat Bangkok..grrrrrrr~~~~

Me with the strong instinct dah boleh agak baby dah tak lama nak kuar..

Cuma kalau I tgu tahap intense contraction or water broke, worry it will be on that weekend...waaaaa tak nak dgn doc lain!!

Lucky yesterday during cervical check, Prof Ct confirmed 3 cm dilated and asked me to admitted immediately..

* hubby pun tak suka nak sesak kat federal kata dia..so admit cepat2!! ;)

The whole night it was only normal contraction..

Gynae awal2 dah siap call bgtau dia nak suruh cervics ripen normally..

So this morning, she came and said by 3pm she will rupture the membrane kalau tak waterbroke lagik..

InsyaAllah by tonite..I will be in labor...

* seriously lupa nak branak mcm...!!!

Cakap bnyk tak payah...pergi exercise yer Pn Nadia!!

Smlm duk terlentang atas bed..kepala baby naik balik..mak aiiii!!

Miss my lil boy...apelah agaknye Adam duk bully Che Mimi and Omma dia kat rumah...

Datang sini..kita main kejar2..cepat sket mommy deliver!!

ok lah..contraction keep coming and lil bit intense I guess..

Nak pi pusing ward kejap..jadik supervisor ward yer!!

Wish me luck!

pray for me!

17 Oct 2008 delivered Adam at this room..

and now admitted at the same room...;)

I'm currently admitted at UMSC, awaiting the right time to burst..

Check up at 7pm today, 3cm dilated..

Still early but the gynae suggest to admit..

Contraction keep coming since yesterday and now dah semakin stronger..

Pray for my safe, fast and natural delivery yer...

Ya Allah..mudahkan segala urusan hambamu ini....Amin..

"Alamak...sakiiiiiiitttt!!!!"

Tapi kalau tak engage lagik macamane??
Exercise exercise exercise!!! <--- a.k.a jalan2 shopp' complex!!;)
Adam dulu by Wk38 dah selamat kuar..
Tapi skrang ni mmg dah rase contraction pun..mild lagiklah..
Sometime frequent jgak, cuma tak intense je lagik..

ok ok..ape merepek ni..
Actually entry ni nak cakap pasal birth plan!
Kat Malaysia ni, ada practise ke write birth plan??
U all dulu2 write birth plan??
Setahu I lah kan, kita mmg fully serah kat gynae tu aje..
Ye lah..maybe sb ape2 pun kita berserah kat Allah..
And gynae pun akan ikut procedure diorang..buat yg terbaik to save both mommy and baby kan??
Cuma yang pasti, masa 1st baby dulu..mmg doa sgt2 supaya Allah mudahkan delivery..
Lahir normal..and everytime jumpe gynae, I told her that I want to deliver normal..
Alhamdulillah Allah izinkan sy deliver normal..without the epidural help!
* Even 3 hrs before deliver, I tend to surrender, panggil midwives suruh call anesthetic..tapi dia boleh pysco smp tak jadik amik...

But not to sure this time..what will happen during this delivery..
Kita tak tahu apa yg Allah dah sediakan utk kita..
I really hope, this delivery is a smooth sailing..Allah mudahkan segalanye..
Easy, fast and safe deliver..
* Suka dgr orang yg smp hospital terus kuar..agak2 tak banayk dosa diorang ni...;)
Prof pun ada berseloroh..kalau susah nak kuar kita cut aje..tiiiidddaaaakkkk...!!
I ckp lah.."takkan la prof??" and she said.."Why not??"...grrrrrrr....!!!
* ni kes nak ugut sb I gained weight banyak sgt..and she really worry about the baby size..
InsyaAllah..I trust her and I really hope Prof Ct will help me to naturally deliver..

Cite pasal Prof Ct, my last ante-check, I met 1 lady..lupa kakak ni nama ape..
She currently carried her 5th baby, and all 4 kids semua deliver with Prof Ct..
Sempat kami bercerita plus ngumpat2 sket..
She said, prof ct mmg will help u to deliver normal..
Even kalau terdesak sgt baru dia bagi u amik epidural..
No wonder time I nak deliver dulu, en hubby boleh tny prof ct pasal epidural..
And she with her selamba face..buat dunno aje..
Kami yg masih malu2 time tu, terus diam...malu tak tanya lagik..rupanya mmg dia try to avoid her patient amik epidural..just rely on entonox aje..;)wuhhaaa!!!
* padan lah my fren's wife boleh deliver 3.86kg baby without taking epidural..kagum tak??
Seriously I salute her..prof pun puji she was so patient!!tabikkk Fiza!!

I was thinking to take epidural this time actually..nak tgu 9-10cm dilated..tak larat woooo...!!
Since 1st baby dah rase fully 10cm dilated, why dont we try the epidural..??
Soalan cepu emas bagi kat mr hubby..
He replied..baik save duit epidural beli freezer ebm...kuang kuang!!
Senang cakap..tak tahu sakit tau!!!
Tapi betul jgak..tahan je lah..save RM600-800 ;)

So, seriously I was so worried..
Worry if by Wk38, the baby still not engaged and there is still no sign of labor..
Baby still grow rapidly at this stage, and hanya berdoa baby tak besar sgt...
Ya Allah..mudahkan segala urusan ku kali ni..
Tolong doakan saya ek..
Apapun kita manusia hanya mampu merancang, Allah juga yang tentukan segalanya..

16th Oct 2008..

Cant wait for this moment to come ;)

ps: to all my friends, blogger friends, followers and those silent readers to fabulous motherhood..
mintak maaf, kalau ada terkasar bahasa atau tersentuh hati bila berbicara..
takut ada yg tersinggung..moga nanti tak ada dosa dibawa bersama2 nak deliver nanti..;)

pss: teringat masa deliver Adam, dah 3 ,4 kali push..dlm samar2 n dgr gynae suruh amik forceps..
ape lagi..terus menjerit.."prof!!..wait..gimme last try..""
Amik...terus keluar..Alhamdulillah!!
