Once upon a time during these dates...
Date: 24062009
11.00 a.m Supposed to be my normal 2nd last
pregnancy check up with my doc. My husband and I went in as usual and the doc
insert her finger in me...then said “ ok..2 cm open together with some
show”. Show means there’s blood showing
that I am due for labor but will take few hours since it’s my first
baby... I was like “ are u sure doc?”
cos my due is next week... I kinda like thinking did the doc yg ‘Open’ kan?
Hehehe...bengong for a sec...cos I couldn’t believe it...some more I was only
on half day leave yet planned to ask for MC for my Transformers 2 at
3p.m...hehehe..
She advised me to come back after
maghrib as it’s my first baby and would take few more hours to open up for
normal delivery..Alhamdulillah..
But actually my husband and I had
booked tickets for Transformers 2 this afternoon in TGV KLCC..as we were
thinking that it would only be a normal check up. We were not expecting this at
all. So I take the courage to ask the doc on our intention and she gave a GREEN
light!! Hahahahaha!!! I was surprised!
She agreed on the basis that KLCC – our house in Setiawangsa –PUSAT
PERUBATAN NALURI are not far to each other.
Since there were no pain at all
at that time I didn’t feel anything, yet very happy to see Transformers 2...and
thinking that I would be on ‘ pantang’ later..so this is my only chance to see
movies before being a mom...I sms my
colleague on the news...news that I had 2 cm opened so would not be able to
come in the office as I should. But
actually if I wanted to come in I could, instead my hubby and I headed to
KLCC!! Wohooo!!!
Had lunch at the KLLC food
court...had a fish n chips as lunch and then went in to see movie at 2.30
p.m.
5.30 p.m The movie ended 2 hours
later and we rushed home as the contraction is quite frequent now and I started
to panic as we are still heading down the escalators in KLCC.. Then paid the
car park fees and headed out the parking and hubby thinking hard on which road
to exit from the parking so that we could reach home fast. He chose to take
AKLEH and to our surprised it’s jam ...yeaahhh.. we had forgotten that today is
a working day and the time now was the peak time of people rushing home from
work. I started to think all the ‘IFs’..”what if i give labour during jam in
the car? How would we call an ambulance? Who is going to help us? ‘’ etc..
7.00 p.m Thank Allah we reached
Setiawangsa at about 7 p.m and still managed to stop by buying dinner in front
of the Giant Setiawangsa , the stall that sells nasi kukus ayam dara which
happens to be my fav meal during that pregnancy. Reached home with the contraction
has made its gap, made me calmed. We had dinner and prayed Maghrib and Isya’
and then packed all the necessary stuffs to bring to the hospital.
10.30 p.m My husband and I left home and headed to
NALURI. Reached the room for further checking and had the CTG checking on the
contraction. To my surprised it had only open 4cm. Oh my! for that many hours
only an additional of 2cm?? Then the nurse sent me in my room at nearly 12 a.m
and informed that most probably I’ll be in labour by early morning since it’s
the 1st baby and informed to call them in case of anything. I lied
down on the bed and hubby taking his time unpacking things to get settled.
Date: 25062009
12 a.m My water broke! It was
like a water balloon inside you popped and ‘flussshhh’ the water just drain out
and wetted the bed and my pants. I was
like ‘aaaaa?’ how come now? because the nurse just left and said it will be in
the morning. Then my hubby reached the room phone & informed the nurse of
what had just happened. The nurse came quickly and brought me to the labour
room.
Oh yeah...there and then it is
all started..the pain, the shouts, the
regrets and all the prayers for a safe delivery. Since it was in the early
morning, the doctor was on call, it was Dr Zanariah. I still can hear them calling
her by phone and heard conversations like answering to her question on the
opening of my contraction and so forth. I guess she would not leave her house
until my opening is more than 6cm. Only Allah knows what is in my head at that
time as she was on call.
My hubby was always beside me
giving his support as every other husband should, in that labour room. During
the peak contraction of the birth I heard the doctor has arrived and as she
walked in & put her clothes on as a doctor to welcome my child, she asked
me to push the baby out.
1.20 a.m Alhamdulillah on the 3rd
pushed, a beautiful baby made her first cry out. She is named Nur Humaira binti
Mohd Nazry on her 7th day and born healthy at 2.9kgs. As any
mother who wishes to give the best for their baby, I also breastfed her
soon as she were passed to me. She had
her circumcision on the day we checked out for home sweet home and I was
relieved by that as one of a mother's responsibility is ticked.
