second born child

alhamdulillah semua selamat. hari ni baby dah 8 hari dah. baby was overdue for a week. my belly was huge. haha. contractions started the day before, it was really painful but I decided to wait before going to the hospital. so, malam tu pergi makan tosai masala, teh o ais and beli ice cream McDonald's yang baru tu. sambil makan sambil than sakit. then around pukul 1 pagi, contractions stop. terus lena tido. terkejut makan ice cream mungkin. hee. lepas tu, pukul 4 start balik sakit. pagi tu memang dah ada appointment dengan PPUM, so, hantar zahraa pergi rumah mama and off we went. sampai sana, the process begins.

since I was overdue, they scheduled me to be induced. since I had a previous scar and the contractions are there, they decided to put me on oxytocin drip. gila sakit. they offered epidural, which they do to mothers with previous scar and had problems with their pregnancy. although with epidural, i can still feel the contractions, but it was manageable. dari pagi pukul 8.45am when the process started, they gave me a time frame of 8 hours maximum to get things done. by 8 hours, the Dr checked and my progress was good, the baby is going down so they gave me 4 more hours. Dr pun call husby bagitau to get ready. we didn't know PPUM allowed husband to come in so, it was a surprise for us.

memang Allah je yang boleh tolong situation macam tu. masa azan maghrib, sakit dah lain macam. epidural dosage habis, Dr bius datang, bagi ikut tiub and panggil gynae datang check, rupanya dah buka habis. Dr pun kelam kabut get things ready and call husby. I was already pushing with two housemans when husby arrived. the best thing there was the people involved was very supportive. after some 20 minutes of pushing, the medical officers took over. 10 minutes later the baby was out! it was so warm when they put it on my chest, my first experience. 5 minutes later, I felt dizzy, the doctors asked husby to get out, I was bleeding. I was blacked out but they kept on shaking me to wake me up, drugs and what not was inserted, Dr said it was critical as I lost 1 litre of blood and my pressure was 50/20. alhamdulillah we manage to get through it and here we are today.
