(Yeah, office still fill with boxes and movers been ignoring our dept for the past 2 days already..)
Lets continue to Birth Story shall we? Before I change mind and somehow jump to another post that is not related to the previous post..Hahaha!
My Estimate Due Date (EDD ) should be on 27th April which falls on Sunday. Yezza,the same birth date as Zettong,nak jugak sama2 kan..hihi. My gynae kept on talking about induction and until the last check-up, we still can't figure out wth is induction! LOL sangat..talking about au-naturale process kan, konon nak water birth but the only hospital offering it is Pantai Hospital and the gynae is a guy.Back to the story, Dr Jumeah gave us 2 dates which were 2 days after 39-weeks's check-up OR a day after EDD for induction. After a good talk, we opted for later date or direct admission if contractions begin. Took a week off from work,just to have more time with each other, relaxing,more eating and trying to be ready. Managed to get one of the craving fixed which was any crab dish at Mohd Chan's Muslim Restaurant Shah Alam.
So,days passed by and it's Thursday morning,earlyyyy morning around 3.30 am where I started to feel discomfort in sleeping,some-kind of menstrual cramps.. (you're period free for 9 months and when it comes back, you just can't recall it, :D). I thought it must be something that I wrongly ate the night before. Grab the phone and started to track the gaps..and asked few opinions on twitter, but the pain are still manageable where I decided to informed my husband..of course he continues to sleep cause we're not really in hurry.. -__-"
Rise and shine, it's already 7 am and yeah, pain comes and go, have a shower, called my mama and of course she panicked, a lil..asking us to rush to hospital but I refused as I know I'm not in the 3rd stage of labour,just yet.. So,what a mom do best, she came along with breakfast! Yippie yeayyy!
Chat over breakfast, my mom made a few rounds of her laundry too.. called the labour room,asking whether should we register ourselves since I'm having 5 minutes gap and then decided it's too early to enter.Then called both of my grandparents to make dua for easy labour and fast forward to evening, managed to get few hours of sleep and woke up screaming pain! Hahaha..Hubs scolded me,telling instead of screaming I should be doing zikir or selawat..Well, Helllooo.. the screaming was out of nowhere in my sleep.. huh!
Then, we knew, we can't be forever holding onto waiting game in our house,get ready for another round of shower,grab our bags and walked down the apartment. Drove to hospital and arrived around Maghrib,check ourselves in labour room and happily settled for a night out.
Dr Jumeah performed VE and I'm only 3-cm dilated!! OK, agreed on epidural before I drained out of energy to push which gonna take another-god-knows-how-many-hours..Asked for last round of blended mocha but hubs bought Choc Blended instead! Still no coffee allowed,even at the very last moments before deliver..bosan jer!
Around 11 at night, Anesthetic came and explained a lil' and performed the epidural injection procedure.Few minutes after that, I can actually fall asleep..till the next major contractions came around 2 ish am.Asked whether the dosage was enough and the nurse claimed it was sufficient enough and not to be overdose..she performed another VE and yup,it's already 8 cm dilated!Weeeeee....
She asked me to practice on breathing techniques while she's arranging the tools around the labour room...From what I can recall, hubs already stand beside me,on my left..few nurses walking,relax phase and helping me (you know,the position of the leg, and etc).. After few blinks my gynae was already in front of me and confirmed it's time as it's already 10 cm dilated!! WOWWWW!
Few pushes,with eyes wide open,a cut and with the help of forceps, at 3.48 am on Friday 25th,my son was born! Alhamdulillah!!!
He was so tiny,light and immediately placed on top of my chest for skin to skin moment...and you know what, I did not CRY!! Like I used to when I watched tv series of people giving birth!! Soo weird Tasya,soo weird! Plus,my husband helped to informed the nurse and doctor prior to giving birth that we wanna breastfeed him.
I didn't dare to asked for how many stitches I get, and you know what, my legs were crazily shaking when my gynae perform the stitching!! I guess it's one of the epidural effects. Few hours later we're already moved to maternity ward and before you know what's coming, lets try to sleeeepppppp.... LOL!
Welcome to our world, Nur Arif Nawfal bin Nur Afiq.We love you!!
Till then,
