Helloooooo..... Like finally I have the time to update this blog! Baby Miqa is keeping me occupied all the time plus my 'berukband' connection sucks big time. It takes hours to upload just one blardy picture *pfttttttt
Miqa turns two months today *syukur alhamdulillah*. Daddy and mummy loves you sooo much darling! And my maternity leave will end soon *sob, sob*. Tak nak pergi kerja boleh?
Anyhoot, I wanted to share my overdue labour experience (maafkan saya, dah bersalin dua bulan baru nak share kan?). I smiled everytime I think about my labour experience, it's one of the best experience I had so far..
29th July (Friday)
Encek K performed perineal massage on me before we went to sleep; that is after a lot of persuasion from me and our friends who are doctors (He refused to do it in the beginning, takut katanya). FYI that is the one and only time we ever did perineal massage (coz next day dah beranak, tak sempat buat lagi dah, hahahaha). Then as usual we chit-chatted and discussed our plan for the next day (Saturday, 30th July). I was scheduled for checkup on that Saturday and unfortunately Encek K had to work on that Saturday :( So tak dapatla encek K menemani mak buyong ni for my checkup. Nak di jadikan cerita, ada pulak Mom and Baby Expo kat MidValley on the same weekend and we really wanted to go, nak beli baby cot lah cadangnye.
So after alot of 'disagreement' we decided that I would drive by myself to KPJ Seremban for my checkup, and then drive back to our home in KL, wait for encek K to comeback from work and then pergi Mom and Baby Expo tu kat MidValley. That was the real plan for that Saturday. Little that we know, God has other plans for us on that Saturday.
Anywayyssss, why did I say 'disagreement'? Coz encek K was really reluctant to let me drive by myself back and forth from Seremban to KL. He was really really (and I mean REALLY) worried! Mula-mula tak kasik pergi checkup (I got angry when he said this, ada ke pulak tak payah checkup?) and then after that he asked me to change my checkup from KPJ Seremban to KPJ Kajang (which I did not agree obviously). I told him banyak kali "Takde ape la sayang, lagi pun belum ada apa2 tanda lagi saya nak bersalin. Insya Allah everything will be ok." *pengajaran: silaaaa dengar cakap suami*

30th July (Saturday)
Encek K left for work at 8am, I left for Seremban at 9++ am. My journey was smooth. Sampai2 je terus SMS encek K, cakap dah sampai, dah parking kereta, nak pergi register dah. He said "OK, pape call me." So as usual I registered myself and waited for my turn. Macam biasala Sabtu memang ramai sangat orang nak checkup. Nasib baik ada iPad to kill the time :) Terjumpa pulak my Pak Teh and Mak Teh kat KPJ, sempatla borak-borak kejap. Around 12 noon sampaila giliran saya. Lama jugak tunggu turn, around 2++ hours.
Dr Ishak macam biasala cakap sangat lembut.. Did the usual thingy (check blood pressure, weight, etc..). Then Dr Ishak tanya "So amacam, ada sakit2 tak? Rasa2 nak bersalin 1 Ogos tak? Cantik tarikh tu." I just laughed when he said that. I told him , "Ada sakit doc, sekali je sehari before I go to bed each night, dah 3,4 hari sakit macam nak period tu. Kalau boleh bersalin hari ni lagi bagus doc!" Hahahahahahhaaa we both laughed *mulut masin I tell you!*
Then macam biasa, baring nak buat scan.. Everything looked normal. Baby's weight was approximately 3.3kg. My weight? 65kg *adoiiiiiii* Then out of no where Dr Ishak cakap why don't we do VE today? Coz your due date is near tapi takde rasa sakit. I said OK. I changed into the kain and Dr Ishak performed VE. For me VE tak sakit, just tak selesa je. Then tetibe je Dr Ishak said "Haaaa dah bukak 7CM dah pun ni, sekejap saya try bukak kan lagi jadi 8CM." Seluk lagiiiii. Adoiiiiii... At this moment I was like What The Fish??? Dahla pergi checkup sorang2, DAH BUKAK 7CM KE??? Then Dr Ishak cakap lagi "Dalam pukul 5pm awak bersalin la ni, terus naik wheelchair ye, pergi wad terus, kejap saya panggil nurse." Time ni serius rasa dunia ni stop! I was soooooo dumbfounded. Tak tau nak fikir ape dah time ni. Tiba-tiba terpacul "Saya nak pergi MidValley ni doktor." Like what the hell, kenapa tah tetiba cakap centu. Whyyy? Why did I say that?? Dr Ishak gelakkan saya sambil cakap dah tak sempat dah. Feel like slapping my own face. Dah bukak 7cm dah, ada hati nak pergi MidValley lagi ke??
Lepas keluar dari bilik Dr Ishak, the nurse asked me to naik the wheelchair to check in to ward. I refused and told her "Takpe nurse saya nak turun bawah kejap nak call suami dan mak saya." The nurse gave me green light and asked me to come back to see her after that. So I went down, panicking and called encek K.
Me: "Yang, me dah bukak 7cm dah, kena check in ward dah. Nak check in sini ke nak gi GH Yang?"
*silentttt*
Encek K: "Hah? 7cm.. Tula me dah cakap, me tak sedap hati bagi yang pergi checkup sorang2.. blaaaa, blaaaa, blaaa... *kena bebel*. Tak kisah Yang, check in KPJ boleh, nak gi Seremban GH pun boleh. Tapi kalau waterbag pecah, kat KPJ tu je. Call mama and call Arfah (my bestie who is a doctor in Sban GH).
Me: OK..OK.. Me call mama ngan Arfah jap.
Called my mom. Nobody picked up the house phone. My mom just got back from Dubai that morning (supposedly touchdown at 8.30am at KLIA). Called her mobile, pun tak angkat jugak. Adoiiiii.
Called Arfah. She told me she was indeed working and was at the hospital, and if I wanted to come over, she'll definitely be there. Dua2 excited time ni.
Called my mom again. This time she picked up the phone dengan suara pisat. I told her I was at KPJ and dah 7CM bukak. Soalan pertama dia "Kenapa pergi KPJ? Kenapa tak pergi Seremban GH?" Adoiiiiiii. FYI, since the beginning my mom memang suruh bersalin kat GH sebab my mom takut kalau private hospital ni, sikit je dorang dah suruh C-sect, kalau GH, C-sect tu dah kira last option. Kena bebel lagi ngan my mom. Adoiiiiii. Memang hari bebel sedunia ke ape ni?? For me, bersalin kat mana-mana pun sama je sebab yelah, bahagian masing-masing kan.. But after thinking, I decided to go to GH, mainly sebab my bestie Arfah ada, if Arfah takde or tak kerja time tu, most likely I would have checked in myself dekat KPJ aje. Terus I told my mom, OK, OK adik pergi GH sekarang. Barula berhenti bebel.
Called encek K again, told him that I'm going to GH. I told him I still do not feel any pain, so I boleh drive sendiri to GH. Kena bebel lagiiiiiiiii. He then asked my BIL to pick me up from KPJ and drive me to GH.
Called Arfah again, told her I would be coming over to GH. Dua2 excited mode. Hahahahhaa..
Went up and told the nurse that I will be going to GH, she informed Dr Ishak and he told me awak kena pergi terus, jangan pergi MidValley pulak!
BIL came and drove me to GH. Ceria je dalam kereta sebab still takde rasa sakit ke hape ke. BIL pun pelik. Sampai GH, terus pergi screening room for labour. All the nurses and doctors tak percaya I was 7cm opened coz takde rasa sakit langsung. Adoiiii geram je. Lepas seluk baru percaya dah bukak 7cm, terus cepat2 register and was pushed directly to labour room. Sempatla jumpa my mom kejap before masuk labour room.
By 2.30pm I was already in the labour room. Soon after that encek K and Arfah pun sampai. Masa ni ceria lagi. hahahahahaha.. Siap refuse painkiller lagi.
3.30pm nurse kata nak pecahkan waterbag coz nak cepatkan bukaan. I said ok, so around 4pm they broke my waterbag. Soon after waterbag pecah baru contraction datang. Perghhhhh.. I tell you.. Time ni nurse tanya lagi nak painkiller tak, terus cakap nak, tapi bukan Epidural la coz I was already 7cm. I took Pethidin, so jadi lalok je, tapi sakit tak kurang punnnnnn.. Doctor on duty said pukul 6pm baru awak bersalin ni coz I was 1st time mom, so 1jam cuma 1cm je bukaan. Encek K and Arfah stayed by my side during this time. They both did their best to cheer me up and entertain me. Macam2 la dorang cerita, tapi time contraction datang, cerita pun dah ke mana ntah, tangan encek K jugak yang jadi mangsa, sampaikan saya gigit satu kali tangan encek K. Melompat mamat tu *sorry hubs*
Around 5++pm memang ada rasa nak push dah so the doctor suruh saya baring mengiring and cuba push. I did just that.
Tepat 6pm, I yelled at the doc cakap dah pukul 6pm dah ni doctor.. At this moment, everything happened so fast. Tiba-tiba je doctor ngan nurse semua keliling saya. Everyone was cheering, suruh push. Semua dok jerit "Haaa betul tu awak push, tahan nafas, jangan lepas nafas, push lagi..." Doctor said dah nampak crowning dah so boleh push terus dah. First push tak berjaya, but Arfah tarik my hand to feel my baby's head down there *terasa rambut my baby*, so saya jadi bersemangat. Second push, yes!! At 6.16pm terus kepala baby dah keluar, and third push bahu baby pulak keluar and terus dengar baby nangis. Masya Allah rasa bersyukur yang teramat. I did not cry becoz I feel really really happy when they put my little boy on me tapi encek K nangis teresak-esak kat sebelah I *soooo sweet* He keeps kissing my forehead saying thank you to me.
Then, the nurse took the baby for checkup sementara saya dijahit. Encek K left for his ciggie break while Arfah stayed with me for a while. Time ni rasa lega sangat coz everything was over plus rasa lapar gila coz dari pagi cuma makan biskut je. Arfah then left to do her roundings; I can't thanked her enough for being there with me.
I was only pushed out from the labour room around 9pm, keluar je labour room nampak my mom and few of my friends tunggu kat luar. Malam tu duduk 1st class ward kat GH. Tapi biasala hospital gomen kan, husband or mom tak boleh tunggu walaupun 1st class ward. So malam tu cuma saya ngan baby Miqa je berdua, amatla mencabar ya ampunnnnn coz bila painkiller habis rasa sakit sume datang. Plus baby Miqa merengek-rengek nak nenen plak tu. I did not sleep at all sampaila hubby datang 6am the next day.
31st July (Sunday)
Arfah came to my ward again after finishing her shift. We chit-chat for a while and she left for home. By 1pm saya dah boleh balik dah coz everything is ok. By 3pm saya dan baby Miqa dah sampai rumah dah :))
Everyone keep on saying to me I was lucky coz dah 7cm pun tak rasa sakit. Semua tanya tips dekat saya. To be honest memang takde tips, just that masa mengandung saya banyak exercise kot, I love to go for brisk walking, selang sehari mesti pergi brisk walking for at least 1 hour, kadang2 more than that, maybe sebab tu kot.
Whatever it is, I do feel blessed sangat-sangat. Syukur yang teramat di permudahkan masa bersalin dan bersyukur sangattt for this 'greatest gift from ALLAH'.
Encek K mata merah baru lepas nangis :p
Thank you bestie for being there!
first night alone with baby Miqa at the hospital
