Nuhaa's birth story

As mentioned previously, I was hospitalized from Tuesday 17th May 2011 due to diarrhea, rite? Well, diarrhea did trigger contractions,but in my (or our) case, the contraction is not strong enough for labor...phew!!!

*tp dekat nk 6 botol air masuk dlm bdn ai..sungguh dehydrated!!**

Then on Thursday 19th May 2011, ai ada check up with my gyne...and since ai dah xlarat nk ulang alik hospital (yes, it's NOT that far from my house, but still.......................), so the generous doctor scanned me thoroughly...and the baby dah betul2 engaged, plus my serviks pn mmg dah terbukak 2cm since my last premature contraction early of the month...so, the doctor dengan selambanya tanye ai & hubby:

Doc: so Shima, how do u feel right now?
Me: Doctor, ada possibility of induce x? (i can't stand the back pain, on my left leg, the pressure on my stomach & servicks...etc...so mmg ai MINTAK induce ni...)
Doc: I knew this is coming....so yes, i can induce you, no problem since the baby has matured enough for labor...Afeeq, how do you feel about this?
Abi: i don't mind. As long as she's into this, i will support her (i suppeerrr llllooovvveeee u hubby)
Doc: so induce it is. you pn mmg dah ada minor contractions kan...so bila nk induce ni? is tomorrow ok with both of you? esok pn Jumaat...just nice...
Abi: yes, let's go for it
Me: ok

so, itulah permulaan (or kesinambungan kisah premature labor of this second baby...)

so, utk sehari itu, ai tak bole tido, tak lalu makan..then ai request kt Abi, mintak bwkkan Aqeef ke hospital so that i can spend some quality time with him...(plus i do miss lil' Aqeef)

then Abi bwk Aqeef, we spend some quiet & quality time as family, then by 10pm, Abi anta Aqeef balik, by the time Abi sampai bilik hospital blk, we had our late supper together, & then kitorg tido...

*ai xbole tido mlm tu sbnrnya..i was thinking too much, too scared (teringat time nk lahirkan Aqeef last year..especially the pain...)

then on 20th May 2011...

i woke up around 5am, took a loooonnngggg hot shower bath...then by 6am, the nurse came in with the ubat nk induce...i thought dorg nk pakai drips, rupanya for my case, since my serviks dah terbukak, so dorg masukkan ubat kt my serviks, with the intention utk trigger the contractions...

so dari 6am sampai 7.30am, i can feel the contractions...agak kerap jugak la...every 10 to 20 minutes gitu...then 7.30am tu, nurse dtg nk letak CTG machine tu on my belly...turns out no contractions can be detected from the CTG. Tapi ai dah bole rasa the contractions coming in...

by 8.30am, the same nurse came in again, and bukak all the CTG. Dia kata ai tade contractions, so i just have to wait for the doctor to check on me. I was quite pissed. Tgh sakit, nurse tu bole kate tade contractions?? rase nk bakar je mesin CTG tu, ok!!

So we had our breakfast on the hospital bed, then while waiting for the doctor, Abi meneruskan hobi melukisnya, while ai sempat jln back & forth in the room (just to kill time & trigger the contractions), tido, tgk tv, call Aqeef, and still the pain is there.

10am, barulah doctor masuk bilik, she checked on me, then doctor kata my serviks dah dilate to 4cm already!! i was quite shocked, tak sangka begitu cepat..then doctor kate dia akan pecahkan air ketuban, and the labor process will go on from there.

It took her only a few seconds utk pecahkan my air ketuban, and then dgn selambanya doctor tu ckp kt ai: "So Shima, this will be very fast. You will be delivering as early as 11am, or it will take some time. I'll see you in the labor room" and she's off...

So ai get up from the bed, with my water still running through, i cleaned myself in the bathroom, and preparing to go to the labor room. Time ai kuar dari bathroom je, the contractions semakin hebat. i was pushed to the labor room, changed to the labor room attire, while the the nurses were busy putting up all the machines, tubes etc around me.

By 11am, i can feel the rhythm of my contractions getting stronger and stronger. I took hubby's hand, and asked him to pray for us. & also to give me the strength to go through this process again. Cause in my mind, ai still tak bole nk lupakan kesakitan time lahirkan Aqeef dulu...siryes takut sgt time ni...

Then 11.15am, ai dah rasa makin sakit, ai mintak hubby tlg panggilkan nurse. the nurse masuk & checked me. & tiba2 ai dgr dia suh nurse lain panggil Dr. Seri immediately. I was like "eh, dah 10cm ke?? nape xrasa nk teran lagi?" baru ai pikir camtu, trus rasa sakit ok!!!! Luckily ada nurse trus dtg kat ai, trus kasi the etonox gas (laughing gas) to me. Ai trus amik gas tu..press the gas tak hengat punya (sbb nk suppressed kan rasa sakit tu)...sampaila Dr. Seri masuk bilik...

While waiting for Dr. Seri nk pkai hospital robe, ai dah mcm "high" dah...xsedar bila nurse tarik balik the gas from me...lepas tu, everything mcm a bit blurry...i think i can remember what exactly happened...

All i can feel, is the pain (less painful compared to Aqeef''s, thanks to the gas)...i can feel the urge to push the baby out, tapi ai xkuat, since my left leg ada problem kan....so one of the nurse tolong pegangkan kaki kiri ai, while hubby was there beside me, holding me...

& Alhamdulillah, with 1 push, Nuhaa Naqeeyah was safely out...Nuhaa keluar je, muka dia trus ke kamera Abah, ok!!!! Sgt pandai...Abi recorded everything...sgt hebat!! Then Dr. Seri kasi peluang pada Abi utk cut Nuhaa's cord...ai xrasa apa2 dah time ni....cuma sgt penat & semakin "high"..hehe... once Abi dah potong the cord, Nuhaa was passed to me...Nuha yg pada awalnya menangis time lahir, time diletakkan atas badan ai, Nuhaa terus diam!!! Sgt good girl...

Then the nurses amik Nuhaa utk timbang berat, ukur, bersihkan, etc..while Dr. Seri still trying to get the uri out..With another push, uri selamat di luar badan ai...and Alhamdulillah, tade trauma mcm masa Aqeef dulu...Uri Nuhaa sgt cantik..& BESAR!!! Sungguh tak padan dgn tuannye, kecik comey je....

Bila dah timbang, ukur sume, Nuhaa was officially announced to be delivered as per details below:

DOB: 20th May 2011
TOB: 11.26am
Length: 47cm
Weight: 2.28kg

Cuma....

I couldn't breastfeed Nuhaa as soon as she was born, because she's small (a 34 weeker baby), so the ped have to put her in the NICU...plus her skin is not fully developed yet, and her body temperature is not stable enough...i have no choice but to agree...

Sume settled by 12pm kot...ke 12 lebih...tah, i can't recall the time. Tp Abi ade mentioned yang dia nk gi Solat Jumaat & mkn lunch lepas tu, which i said ok...tp siryes, i tgh mamai time tu...i can't remember what i said.. (org tgh "high" kn...hehe)

So Abi kuar, then tinggal ai je...i can't remember bila masa ai tuka baju hospital, bila masa ai ditolak balik ke bilik, & bila masa ai tertido....tau-tau je, i woke up at 2.30pm, and ai kt dlm bilik hospital, tapi suasananya terlalu sunyi....

AI PANIK OK!!!!

mcm xtau ape yg jadi, ai trus call hubby, nangis2 tanye die kat mana....tanya baby kt mana, etc...then hubby kata hubby kt KLCC tgh lunch, but he will be back asap. Then ai mcm blur, xsure ape yg dah jadi...

by 3.30pm, baru Abi sampai bilik..lepas Abi recall blk apa yg dah jadi, ai dah ok dah....& the rest, is history...hehehe....

Alhamdulillah, Nuhaa dlm incubator for only 2 days...even i can't bf her directly, i still pump out my colostrum and kasi kat Nuhaa jugak...

Thanks to all family members, & friends who dropped by at the hospital to visit us...to those yg tak sempat tgk Nuhaa, sorry sgt2 ya...don't worry, Nuhaa sedang membesar bagaikan johan skrg ni...hehe....

Nuhaa Naqeeyah, fresh from my womb

Nuhaa, 2 days (lepas kuar dari NICU)

Eh, bila tgk blk, muka Nuhaa mcm muka Aqeef, betul x? Jom kite compare!!!

Haah la, mmg sama!!!! :)

Moga kedua-dua anak Ummie & Abah akan membesar menjadi anak yg soleh dan solehah, InsyaAllah...

We love you both, unconditionally..

TO Abi, thanks for everything. You are the super-MAN (minus the red underwear) ever!!!! Love you. :)

Dah 2 dah anak kita...let's wait awhile for the 3rd baby, ok dear?? :P
