Wait Ah

Hye.

This is just an entry for me to remember the day Aryan came into this world. :) Just bits and pieces that I can still remember. Quite a lenghty post though. Read on only if you can bear with me.

Week 37 (awal gila start birth story aku ni :p)
I noticed some blood trace in my urine. I thought it came from a cut I might have gotten myself while shaving earlier. *shy* Told my mom and she panicked a little. Suruh aku call adik aku balik dengan kadar segera macam aku dah nk deliver dan2 tu. My state of mind at that point of time, super-confused. Called my Darling to inform him.

We went to the hospital with my sis. Saw the doctor and she sent me to the labour room to do CTG. NO CONTRACTION at all. Checked my opening. 2cm dilated already. Hmm. Before sending me home, she said that I should be ready to deliver anytime. Tapi buat masa tu, I was sent home. False alarm la kiranya. Haha!

Week 38
Baby's movement was slow. I started to panic a little. So I went to the hospital to get assurance. Doctor checked and baby was fine. I was sent to do CTG again. Very very mild contraction that's quite far apart. Like once in 30 minutes kot. I didn't feel it. So I was scheduled to see her a week after. But the doctor was sure I was going to deliver before my next appointment. :)

Week 39 (The DAY)
My Darling flew back from Sarawak earlier this week. One Friday morning, after sending my brother off to the airport, we (My Darling, my parents and I) had breakfast somewhere near my house. We went to Queensbay after to buy some stuff. Came back to find there was blood stain again. Called the doctor and she told me to come to the hospital as soon as I can. So after my mom finished her lunch-cooking (soon la sangat kan), we ate and we went off (after the nurse called 3 times asking where we were. hehe.). Time tu dah rasa sakit skit.

Arrived at the hospital and the nurse took me straight to admission. Damn. Then the feeling started sinking in. I am going to give birth soon!! Dan2 nervous. After my Darling settled the admission, I was asked to go to the labour room to do CTG. And finally, ada contraction. Tapi still tak rasa sangat. Doctor decided that if I do not deliver by tonight, she will induce me.

Come 7pm, I was already timing my contraction. It wasn't that intense, but it wasn't that far apart either. By 1am, I was curling on my bed in the maternity ward battling against the contractions alone. My Darling was fast asleep. I couldn't sleep. Sakit ok. At 3am, I couldn't stand the pain and decided to call the nurse to tell her that I am in pain. Until today, I regretted calling her. She did a VE on me and it was so painful. Terangkat bontot ok. Benci. She kept on telling me ,'lambat lagi ni' and asked me to get some sleep. About half an hour later, she came to set-up the CTG machine. Time ni my Darling was awake and he was looking at the contraction graph, telling me my reading and what not. Hehe.

I got to sleep for abour an hour that night. When I woke up at 8am, they asked me to take my breakfast. Mana dapat makan. Sakit nak mampus dah time ni. Tapi I took some porridge nonetheless. Like 2-3 mulut kot. The doctor came and did what she was supposed to do. I can't remember what she did. She told me to take a bath and walk around. I'd probably be delivering at 2pm today. I was like 2pm??? Matila lambat lagi.

At around 10.30am, the doctor came to help break my water bag. I thought the contractions I had before was bad, the ones that came after the water bag burst was worse. I was practically lying on my side, curling while holding on to the railing at the side of the bed. I didn't want anyone to touch me. Not even the nurse or the anesthetist (yes, i took epidural and pls don't judge me because i was in labour for 12 hours okkkk).

Anyway, at about 12pm, the pain was not going away. Even with the epi that I was given. Weird. While I was battling the contractions, I could feel something swimming downwards, literally. I told the nurse, 'I think the baby is coming. I feel something down there.' The nurse performed another VE on me and she said I am ready. 'Wah. So fast. You are ready to deliver. I call Doctor Maha now. Wait ah.' I was like, wth? Wait? Tapi dalam sekelip mata aku dah dikangkang, katil aku dh tinggal separuh, and doctor pun dah sampai. Just like magic. Haha.

So the pushing took about 15-20 minutes and out came my handsome little prince. :) The hardest part was getting his head out of my you-know-what. I had to push 3-4 times before I managed to do it. After that, with a single push, his whole body was out. And aku pun muntah dengan banyak nya. Sebelah tangan breastfeed, sebelah tangan pegang bucket tahan muntah. Boleh? Please don't ask me why. Probably the epi. Lepas tu aku pun tido dengan banyaknya. :D

Oh I forgot to tell you some thing quite funny. You know some people are just scared of blood, needles and such? Well, my Darling is one of them people. But nonetheless, he was by my side all the time, putting his fears aside. *_* So when the anesthetist was trying to give me the epidural, he was telling me that he wanted to call his mom. Tak benti2 ulang,'I nak keluar call mak kejap eh.' Bengang la aku time tu. Aku dok sakit, kau sebuk nk kuar tepon mak kau tak pasal2 kenapa. Tapi aku cakap OK jugak la. Baik tak aku? Haha. It was only after the delivery that I learned that he was scared of the needle the anesthetist used on me. He was trying hard not to faint. Hahaha. And after I said, 'OK, pergi la' he went to lie down on my bed in the maternity ward where my mom was waiting. Ayat yang dia ulang kat mak aku, 'Nak pengsan la kami tengok aming.' Kesian kan. Nak pengsan rupanya Darling ku itu. Tapi alasan tak tahan. Nak call mak konon. :p

So there. Aryan's birth story. Finally. :)
