it was 5.30 am on 7 january 2009. we were already late for our appointment at the Ampang Puteri Hospital. kissed my little hazeem goodbye, he was still deeply sleeping, of course - it was only about 6am... rushed out of the house and went straight to ... kedai mamak! heheh gotta fill up these empty stomach, eh...
actually, couldnt really chew the food cos panic feelings started to overwhelmed me. my first experience giving birth took me about 10 hours before amir hazeem was borne and later put into incubator for breathing difficulty. hmm, not a smooth experience but look what i have now, a healthy 4 year old with witty lines, cunning and charming smile.
630am, was in the emergency room, waiting to be registered in a double room. took only 15 minutes before we made our way.... rushed for our subuh prayer and into the room waiting for the nurses to do their job.
715am - masuk ubat induce and also ubat berak (hehehhe...)
725am - started to feel the pain (ouch... suddenly it all came back to me, the pain, the waiting and uncertainties...)
about 8.00-something-a.m. the doctor came for the first round check-up. 'ok.... open up, let me see...' uh-huh... ouch! still not open yet...
about 10-something-a.m. felt cramping in my tummy. errrhhh... couldnt feel anymore movements of my baby. betui ka ni??? aduh... sakit sangat ni, macam nak berak pun ada... aduh!
a nurse came to do another VE to me - hmmm... still not open yet, but wait a minute - blood?! kembar darah lagi ke???? ayyoyo... not again!
hubby started to feel restless (sian dia penat, but hey, atleast you were not the one being poked at in your private area!) so hubby asked to leave for a while to have his quick lunch and take few things from home...
about 20minutes after he left, doctor came in again. 'apasal tak bukak2 lagi ni?' - are you asking me?? heheheh... so, there went another VE!
'ok, 3cm. into the labour room!'
hah??? just when my husband left all these are happening???? dugaan....
so, i was wheeled to labour room and contractions beginning to haunt me - alone!
do you want epidural? nope.
do you want gas? errr... nope. eh - nak lah (when suddenly the pain seemed unbearable)
'do not inhale when you are not in pain ya' - who cares! i wanna be prepared when the pain comes. err... is the room spinning...??? did i just hear music??? err... oh, it was the doctor's handphone, cet!
mana lak laki aku ni???
7cm!! 8cm!! i think she's pushing...
you bet i did! tak tahan daaahhh.... arrrghhhhhhhhhhhh.... masyaallah...
it's fully dilated!! tapi baby still high!
'come on ja, ja boleh buat..." eh, bila pulak hubby aku sampai ni?
arrrghhh......!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still lom turun
again - arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! do not throw out your voice, use your energy to push (apa la doctor ni cakap????)
ok, let me help you - vacuum ya... ok push when you are ready...
arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....!!! tak tahan dah, doktor....
sikit lagi, ja (alahai mat ni.....)
doctor tried to vacuum once then the heartbeat of the baby started to drop.... alamak, operation ke? boleh boleh!!! just get me out of this pain!
sekelip mata i was in the emergency operation room!
sekelip mata i was out! roger and out! - power betul ubat bius tu....
the moment i open my eyes, i felt very weak... 'baby ok x...?'
'dont worry mem... he's a healthy boy and the father has seen him. you just relax while we arrange you to be back in your room.'
mana pulak aku ni... it was bright like too much lighting shining on me (macam nak mati lak heheheh... dont go to the liiiight....! heheheh)
rupa2nya i was in the recovery room. then they wheeled me back to my room.
amir harith was born at 4.49pm via emergency csect, 3.2kg and 54cm tall. why csect? his tali pusat was too short and terbelit pulak around his head, and he was facing upwards instead of downwards. alhamdulillah, luckily the doctor and i didnt push for normal birth...
so, amir hazeem now a big brother to amir harith... sayang betul dia but of course, ada skit2 attitude of 'hey-remember-me-?-i-used-to-be-the-only-one syndrome' :-p but that is normal, adik beradik...
if people ask me, mana lagi sakit beranak normal ke csect? i would opt for normal delivery. pain was BEFORE delivery and no more after that and sakit 'poket' pun kurang... heheh
