My… time really travel fast! My baby is now 1-year-old. I still remember the day I was admitted to the medical centre.
[Flashback]: It was Friday 8th Ramadhan. I was supposed to just have a normal checkup that day. Thot since i’m gonna have this check up so might as well request for mc. sbb time mcm nih mmg dah malas nak pegi kerja. Arrived there, they asked me to go to 2nd floor for CTG (not sure what it stands for but it actually checks baby’s movement and contraction). Did i mentioned that though i was 9½ month pregnant i was still fasting. At first the nurse didn’t say anything. Then after half way of the test, she realised that my baby didn’t move at all. So she asked whether or not i’m fasting. When i said yes, she said "mak dia puasa, dia sedap aje tido kat dlm". Then she asked me to change my position which i did and according to her the results look better now.
After waiting for few minutes, its time to see the doctor. My hubby, not sure why, tiba² plak tak nak ikut masuk. He said "u pegi la masuk sorg". Dgn sedihnya i pun masuk ler sorg². The doctor, Dr Zanariah, straight away told me that she’s not happy with my CTG results. She asked whether this is normal to me? Huh??!…err no…, i said. (at this point, i’m not sure what is normal and what is not and she’s scaring me too so i guess that’s the most safest answer). Then i will have to induced you. Hah??!… i guess i didn’t see that coming.
She asked me to take off my pants and lay down. Oh God! Malunya!!! I just stand there abt 1 minute before i asked the nurse who came to check me kena buka semua ke??? She just smile and nod. See, with a lady doctor pun i dah malu² let alone if it’s a male gynae. I wld definitely screamed for my hubby! Oh ya! At this point, hubby was still waiting outside and didn’t know abt the induced thingy. Dr Zana then checked my cervics, by seluk into my private part with her finger. She tried to distract me with some questions but it didn’t work!! It was so painful!!! Dah buka 1cm, she said.
Came out from doctor’s room, told hubby the news. Apa lg kenalah forked out for the deposits. Dah la belum gaji lg masa tu… but i still insisted for the private room hehehehe… I checked in. Hubby had to rush for Friday prayer.Luckily, i have packed all mine and baby’s stuffs and kept it in the car when i reached 9 months. Thanks to my sis’ advice. They gave me nasi ayam for lunch. My parents still unaware of this situation. Didn’t want to alarm them. Besides, i thot mabbe if they gimme another check and if everything’s ok they wld canceled it. Well, that didn’t happen. At abt 4.30 Dr Kamaria came in, seluk lg but this time with a rod and scissors. Apa lg la diorg nak buat ni…??!! Suddenly, keluar air. The nurse asked me rasa tak?? I said yes.. but she just smile without telling what was that. I guess (again!) that must be air ketuban la.
They straight away brought me down to temporary ward. Where i had that CTG test. Hubby, missing again for Asar prayer, didn’t know abt this. To empty my stomach they masukkan ubat air kat bontot tu. My God this ubat i tell you the effect was immediately!! I tried to sms hubby to tell him where was i after they gave me that ubat, belum sempat nak send i mmg dah kena rush masuk toilet. Luckily i managed to hit the send button first.
6pm it was the time for the induced. Nak cucuk masuk ubat tu pun satu punya hal! The nurse had difficult time to find my nerves. So kena cucuk² byk kali. After that, i started to feel the contraction. 7pm hubby berbuka next to me. Makan nasi beriyani. Sedapnyer bau!!! At that time cervics baru buka 2cm still. Hour after hour the pain was getting more intense. Up to one point where i just cld not bear it anymore. When i asked them how long more to go. She said my cervics had just dilated 4 cm. Long more hour to go. I simply told them i cld not stand it anymore. They suggested epidural. I looked at hubby sympathetically. He asked if that’s what i really want. Trying to be a good wife (my sis’ advice again) i asked him boleh ke?? Then he said yes. Phiew!
10pm they brought me to the labor room where they gave me the epidural. Huh! Leganya. I managed to get some sleep. Woke up just to check on the time and hubby. Really pity him. Had to stay awake the whole nite. One of the nurse,indian, asked him to go home to get air selusuh. She said some ppl believe in it and that she had seen it works. Air tu mmg dah ada but we left it at home. Thot its not gonna do any help at that critical hour.
Finally at 3am, Dr Zana came in. Its time to push! Yay!! She taught me how to push briefly. Tarik nafas, pegang tepi katil then push your upper body up. That’s what i did. Only thing was i’m not sure whether i should exhale and when? I dok la tahan nafas. She kept on saying a little bit more… i can see your baby. I really tried so many times before Dr Zana decided that she need to vacum the baby out. 3.22am my little baby girl came out from my womb. She’s sooo tiny and she pissed on Dr Zana!!!
That was it. The most memorable day in my whole life! That day changed every single thing abt me. I’m a mommy now. All my routine changed together with that title. And my figure?! Huh! That the most obviouse one!!
p/s wow! what a long blog! Sorry ladies!!!
