hello hello blogspot.... hello 2013.. and Salam Maulidur Rasul..lonnngggg time i have not update! Well, to begin with, i am now a proud mother of two :)
So where shall i start? Let's put it this way:
January 7th 2013 - 8.00am
I was on leave. Previous check up with the Gynae, I was told baby inside is relatively a huge one. Weighed 3.3kg at 36 weeks! Geeee! The Gynae so decided in order to deliver vaginally, she suggested induced labour, known also as force labour, which was scheduled on January 8th, once the baby's lung mature perfection. So i've set in mind, this labor will be a lil bit different from the previous one, hence the leave.
The fateful Jan 7th, noon time, i was packing verrrrrrilyyyyy my final stuff for the hospital bag, when suddenly body started to shiver. Mannnn, I can't be sick! I'm going for labour! Was secretly telling myself. I stood still and in midst of trying to configure things, my temp rises! By having a good sleep i thought would somehow reduce the sickness but nayyyy. Ain't helping! I woke up at 5pm, and felt numb. I imediately called husband and by 7pm we were already at Pusat Rawatan Islam Az Zahrah. From the net reading, I understood that baby's temp inside the womb can also rises likely when the mom is. So I trust it's better to run a check just to ensure everything's ok.
BP checked, ctg checked. The practioner (not my gynae) assure that i'm all good to go home. Baby's heart beat was a tad bit fast, but according to him that is normal for pregnant woman who's down with fever. I was prescribed paracetamol and sent home to rest.
10.00pm
Reached home and I quickly climbed for bed rest. I am the type who rarely caught fever, maybe once in two years so?, but when i'm down with it, hands down. Excruciating! Temp reading was 39.5! I was just about to get another round of good sleep when suddenly I felt the urge to pee. Went to the toilet hurried, when out of burst a pool of water gushed from underneath.. I was dumbstuck for a few seconds before I could pick up the scene.
Oh my, Did my water just broke?
I sat down, and trying to be calm.. Yes, I started to feel the leaking. I did not peed a pool of water from no where, but it's the amniotic fluid. Same predicament when I was with Adam.. So, I told my husband and we grabbed the bag and I quickly sniffed some foods before wheeling straight away to Az Zahrah again. Well, I need food to push the lil baby out later on.
11.20pm
The nurses made a thorough check up on me and hooked me up to the ctg machine again. I remember then the nurses said, "eh dah 4cm ni".. Argh no wonder i started having discomfort. The contractions are felt, well in about 10 mins interval.. The nurses the left the two of us in the room and reminded me to practise breathing whenever the contractions came.. Of course, I managed whatsapping bff's on my condition. Thank you for the words gurls :)
Oh Adam was left with Owan and Omak. I overheard him asking from outside 'mana mommy'..ahh, poor boy.
the last smile before the real wave of contractions hits.
January 8th 2013
By 12.30pm the contractions gets real and further intense. Like every 3 mins? Yeah. I groaned, I swayed, and breathed every contractions. Husband's comfort words did not do any help at this point. All i remember saying was sighing "úhhh and ahhh" and awe-ing in pain. Mom and Grandma doing their best massaging my back, but neither both helped much.
It is soooo much pain, I must admit!
The nurse then came to check again and was suprised it's already 8cm cervix opening. Ah no wonder its unbearable. If you were wondering, no, I don't take any epi, gas, or what so ever. I was determined to endure the pain naturally, as it comes :)
I heard the nurses were literally discussing among them..labour room occupied.. bla..bla.. And the next thing i know, my leg were already stirred up to the panel. Delivery mat were placed accordingly. There were like 5 nurses? My cheerleadings :p 15 mins later my gynae came and took her position.. oh la la and the drama begins.
"Ok Fiza, contractions datang terus teran ye.."
To cut it short, I remembered pushing hard twice and then the gynae uttered "fiza satu kali lagi teran habes kuat fiza..tolong baby ni".. (since the head was already out) and with what all is left I did my very last push with all my might that finally brings the lil baby to the world. At 1.30am, January 8th 2013. Alhamdulillah.. I made it. Relieved :)
there you go my whooping 3.97kg baby boy delivered at 37 weeks! I don't believe it either! He's huuuuugeeee!
So that is my labour chapter, embarking the new year. Baby came just in time and NO induced labour :) On that fateful Tuesday, I became a mother of two. Will later continue on him and shoulder dystosia.
