Hanna and the NICU story

I'm sure everyone been wondering on what exactly was happening to Hanna Mikaela (HM) right after her delivery on 21 July 2010, which i thought some of you here are aware that she's been admitted to NICU/ICU ward for further monitor due to her pneumonia problem

I must say that it is a heart wrenching going thru this, seeing your daughter with all those wires attached.

Hanya Tuhan je yang tau how I'd felt. Memang tak sanggup nak tengok. 

Right after i delivered HM, she was not really crying beside the ahekk-ahekk sounds. After they cleaned her, she still not crying. And they spotted that she's sort of having a difficulty to breath. So she was admitted to the ICU ward. While me, after the doctor done with my stitches, of cozla mencari my baby. But sedih sangat that moment when i looked at my hubby's face saying that Hanna still kat ICU and the doctor said it's 50-50 chance for her.

Ya Allah, time tu mmg rasa sebak sgt, muka my hubby pun macam nak nangis when he's saying that. Imagine, korang dah penat2 lahirkan baby pastu excited nak tengok muka anak korang end up she's not well. Memang sampai la ni aku takleh nak lupe perkataan 50-50 from my hubby, it was too heart breaking hearing that.

I only got a chance to see HM on the day 2, after all the effect dari ubat dah gone and i can think and walked straight. Again, seeing her in that cubical with all the wires, mmg sangat sedih. BUT it was an over whelming moment when the nurse update us that she's stabil and fought for it.. Only HM sorang using the big machine, and according to the nurse, that would help her to breath. Aku tengok baby lain kat situ smua taklah teruk sangat despite so many premature babies but i just keep on think yg positif and pray HM will be fine

Cried?Yes definitely i cried. I was fragile at one time but the support from Hubby and family made me to be a stronger mommy. I have to be strong for Hanna eventho she's not with me for 10 consecutive nights.

After 10 days berkampung kat situ, HM finally free to go home. That is the best moment and feeling i've had. I miss to hear she's crying over for milk, miss to hold her and definitely everyone kat umah tu can't wait to meet her.  And yang paling best, we discharged during her ayah 29th birthday on the 30 July. That was the best gift he'd ever had :)

Regards of HM illness, actually my O&G doc pun tak tau what's wrong with her. But they suspected that a bit of my hormones/blood has gone into her which they found out at the 1st stage that HM's nose was bleed. Then the Paed specialist claimed that it was severe congenital pneumonia (according to her report too) which resulted her having a difficulties to breath due to her lung been filled with bacteria, and it was from my vagina. How it happened? Jangan tanya aku coz we don't find anything wrong during my pregnancy check up, even up to the last check up. of coz my O&G doctor pun terkejut, that was his least expectation pun

But, i'm sure behind all this, memang ada hikmahnya. No need to elaborate more and further here but it was an eye opening for me and hubby. We appreciate HM more as she was the priceless gift from Allah. Must say million thanks to all that have been pray for HM's and all the kind wishes and thoughts. 

Hanna is a strong girl. She is such a good girl and clever girl. 

we do love her so much.

That's what i told Hanna deary everyday 

Hanna was 2 days old at NICU

Hanna 1 month old :)

My labor moment of truth

WARNING : entry ini merupakan kisah benar and akan di share with all  readers by hoping the info could help you in the future. For new mommy-to-be. Bukan untuk menakut-nakutkan. It's a true facts story :)

Since smua dah tau i've on 2cm dilation for almost a month, akhirnya saat yang dinantikan telah tiba

on my last check up with my gynae on the 20 July, finally i've made some progress by 1cm so total bukaan is 3cm. Doctor expected me to be delivered by tomorrow.

Balik umah, relax cam biasa lagi..makan selagi boleh. Tapi dah noticed that ada sikit mild contractions. But since it was just a mild, so buat dunno je lah

Start 8pm, aku dah dapat rasa sakit yang lebih sket dari normal, it was 1 hour apart. Continued till midnite, which by that time, aku dah takleh nak tido. Contractions now semakin terasa as in half an hour apart. But still managed to watch a movie with my sis-in-law sambil meraba-raba perut .

Trying to get some sleep by hoping if i am really delivering the baby esok (21 July) hopefully i have enuff rest and energy. But cubaan untuk melelapkan mata gagal. Started at 330am, my contractions were 15mins apart. At this time, aku dah takleh tido. Dok mundar-mandir kat bilik tu menahan sakit. Dalam pale otak, still berpikir, should i go to the hosp now or later at dawn? So kejutkan hubby and told him to get ready, maybe we're off in 1hour time, which lepas subuhla

Tapi, sakit yang unbearable semakin terasa, ni takleh jadi. Aku pun mandi and get ready. Pester hubby to get ready skang gak, aku dah takleh tahan. Perut rasa nak tercabut. So we're off to Hosp selayang at about 5am+

Sampai hospital, muka dah berkerut2 tahan sakit. Jalan nak kene papah. Called Dr. Irish and he'll be here anytime. Meantime, I'm already in my baju bersalin provided by the hospital. Contractions were really strong. Takleh baring, prefer berdiri je. But nak amik baby heartbeat and CTG so have to baringla. Nurse said, yeah it's time based on my CTG yang cantik katanya...

Then puas menahan sakit sampai ke 7am, ada lady doc finally pecahkan the water beg. Nasibla tak tunggu Dr Irish, if tak sampai kul 9am menahan sakit. For me, the pain of waterbeg been broke tak sakit, tak terasa sgt. But the contractions pain was really getting intense after that. Puas aku bergolek2 kat atas katil tiap kali tahan contractions yang menyerang. Sakit sangat okay!! Inilah sakit yang paling2 sangat pernah aku rasa dalam hidup.

Okay, climax of the story. Ke dewan bersalin.

Aku tatau where is my hubby gone but for sure i need him right now. Sakit contractions ni really made me weak. Terasa seperti pinggang nak patah and perut nak tercabut. It is definitely 8kali ganda sakit from the period pain yang korang rasakan every month. Eventho aku nye period pain tak sakit tp yang ni memang teramat sakit. Bukan nak takutkan korang but it's my real experienced. Bila hubby dah kat tepi baru rasa kuat sangat. Kuat untuk go thru the real pain.

Yang bestnye keluar plak ayat ni dari mulutku while menahan sakit

" I taknak beranak lagi, not masa terdekat ni" . Hubby senyum sokmo je. Boleh?

Takleh tahan sakit, mintak epidural. Ye, aku bukan super woman yang boleh tahan sakit macam nak mati ni. Tapi yang bestnye the effect of this epidural berlaku while aku disaat2 nak meneran. Haiyo, mamai la jadinye. Tapi yang pasti, hubby siap cakap, 

Tapi rasa cam lama je babyku nak kuar while the epidural dah mula effect. Nurse kat situ were very helpful. They bacakan doa for me and helped my baby to kuar. But somehow, i did not made any good progress so doc decided to used forceps to get the baby out, takut lemas or stress.

And within 7mins, dalam keadaan mamai, i saw my baby in front of me and sekaligus nurse tanye

"emmilda, ni baby apa? Baby girl," jawabku..pastu aku penat. Sampaikan time doctor jahit kat bawah tu aku leh tido and takla rasa sakit sangat. So don't ask me how many stitches aku dapat yer

Now, aku dapat rasa camne sakit ibu yang melahirkan kita before this. And pengalaman bersalin ni, ikut luck masing2. Memang dari mula pregnant, aku berdoa yang aku tak nak stay at labor room lama macam separuh orang sehari baru beranak. Alhamdulillah Allah kabulkan doa ku.

At 1030am, Hanna Mikaela has arrived into this world. Syukur sangat. Terima Kasih Ya Allah kerana permudahkan urusanku dan selamatkan kami berdua.Amin :)

Ok the rest of the updates and labor story will be posted soon or if i have a free time later-later la yer

I am just can't wait for my baby girl to be home :)

The Waiting Game

Argh, i felt so depressed!

Nak tau pasal ape?Pasal baby tak keluar lagi..I bet mommies out there know how'd i feel currently

Dahla twice false alarm for labor, end up till now, I'm 40 weeks by this Tuesday, baby still haven't give any signs yet to pop. Instead, every night i've been facing with difficulties to sleep. Sleeping pattern has turned into haywire.

kekadang tu subuh baru dapat tido lena, before that, baby tah buat ape dalam perut that really made me uncomfortable. Sometimes i was hoping and waiting for the contractions to come but avail. Not to forget the heartburn, the backache and the visiting toilet.

At this time, i've had almost 3 or more of my friends that their EDD was supposedly later than me later by 1-3 weeks, are having their baby already. Please tell me how am i supposed to feel when i looked at their pics in the FB?that they enjoying their new arrival of baby in their arms and NOT ME? i'm still stucked here, with my baby inside. I am so envy u with all the new mommy outhere !!!

At times, i felt like giving up and crying, i had this hopeless and useless feeling for not getting my baby out but i know that it's just part of the waiting game and only a minor challenged thus i have to be strong for my baby. I can't be feeling like this which there'll be huge and more challenging once the baby is out. I'd cried at nite too, just to make myself relieved. Wondering when is the baby is coming out, over and over again.sigh

Now the baby position is really dropping where everyone can noticed but still no signs of labor yet. Sometimes i just felt that i'll choose to be delivered at the private hosp which you can opt to be induced when you're already dilating at 2cm instead of waiting till the 41 weeks, like how the govt practiced. It's  really a mentally tortured tau. I'd try to keep myself calm by  isolating myself in the room, since my backache is killing me and the baby's dropping position is avoiding me to walk more i had this feeling that the baby's head is dropping and might fall out of my VG anytimes, so i'd prefer to just lay down on the bed while reading my books or doing other stuffs la.

If korang tanye aku, ape lagi yang aku  idam2kan in terms of food and stuffs, basically I'VE HAD EVERYTHING. I should be thankful for having a such wonderful and accommodating husband that fulfill all my wishes. Thank you sayang for being there for me, at all times

Some ppl been giving good advised and i thanked for that. I know this is all Kerja Allah so there's nothing much i can do beside waiting and just pray that me and the baby will be fine and i will have a smooth delivery.

BABY, When are you coming out????

Wassup me?

Ok this is seriously f**ked up. I mean MAXIS. Dah 3 hari broadband ni was having slow connectionDemmit. Loading Gmail pun bertahun have to wait..basically can't do anything. ANYTHING!!

and now?I'm using my brother in-law's maxis just in case his was better than mine.

Well, it is..if tak blog ni pun takleh update if i were using mine..Reason from maxis notification?

I HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY..bangang la wei!! I paid for everything ok..on time lagi

OK, enuff of cursing the maxis..next story

Well, I AM NOT in labor yet. I am still healthy as i can be. 38 weeks now and beside twice false alarm, still no signs yet. Yes, penantian suatu penyeksaan. Aku harus terus bersabar..that's all i can do now.

FYI, i have started my leave already. Not maternity yet but just using the hospitalization, MC's and unpaid leave. Not gonna touch the AL yang balance tinggal 8days je, save it for my raya tho

So, I'm on one week UPL this week and i know i'm bored but i just can't stand and imagined to climb that 4 staircase to my office everyday PLUS sharing my workplace with the replacement lady who likes to stay with me all the time and even shared or stared at all the things in my pc, eventho i'm online or reading my friends blog. She can even kindly give her comments, without asking . How about that?

So i did spend my days by visiting some of the shops that are having sale kat KLCC like M&S, MNG, Isetan or honestly, i walked and tawaf the whole KLCC like there's no other days for me to be there. And here's the damaged I've done

Then next day, went to Ikea. Was heaven to be there on the weekdays coz less people. It's heaven!! coz finally i can visit all the showroom and really take my attention at every single deco they've done. Trust me, you won't get this kinda chance if it's on weekend. And eating the meatballs are just plain easy that day. No long que, lot's of empty seats and we are eating peacefully *wide smiling*

Everyday, i've been wondering on when exactly is my baby is coming out? coz we've done all the preparation. We are just waiting for you to arrives. Trust me, from the nervous feeling, it turned out into I've almost give up on hoping and counting on when is the BIG day for the baby. Serious! 

But this is gonna be my first so i shouldn't to feel that, eventho i've dilated 2cm with NO progress at all in 1-2 weeks time. It's a disappointment but i have to be strong, for the sake of my baby!

So dengan harapan baby akan keluar cepat, i've walked a lot and eat as much as i can so i won't have that kempunan feeling when berpantang mode started.

Marilah kita sama-sama berdoa so my delivery will be smooth and both of us are fine and healthy. Amin

PS : Thank you very much to those mommies out there who'd always support and giving me advises..Appreciated that girls :)

Warded for false alarm

oh i am so glad to be home. In fact i've been resting for the past 3 days since discharged Tuesday ago. itu pun bodek doc to give me the 3days MC

and yes, i've decided to share my experienced being warded at Hospital Selayang for another false alarm again created by my dear baby Petit

WARNING : cerita dibawah could be define as scary and some of the info could be only apply to those are MARRIED sahaja ya

Sunday - 27 June

a sleepless night. my tummy is not comfortable and i kept on feeling this mild period pain at my lower abdomen. At 5am, i managed to get a 2 hrs sleep which later i thought i need to go to the hospital for check up the next day

Monday- 28 June

Went to the Hospital Selayang, dewan bersalin after informing my Gynae about my prob. Waited for almost 2 hour due to he had an emergency at the OT room. There i was looking at some other mommies that were having a contractions due to labor or some minor prob, like me. There's so much challenging i can feel by just looking at them facing all that. Scary thou

Then it's my turn. CTG were done and here is my Gynae, Dr Irish who'd still in his ER outfit, checking me.

And then, the worse part, out of sudden. He's checking my cervix. How he'd do that?

By first, inserting his middle finger into my VG. Bukan takat masuk je dok godek plak kat dalam tu. OK, not satisfied with ONE finger, now comes TWO finger. Again, masuk ke dalam dan godek lagi tah hape kat dlm tu and suddenly he said, "You're about 1-2cm dilated"

My face?u should have look at myface yang sedang menahan kesakitan dari ke-selukan his TWO fingers into my VG. It's not the pleasure feeling that you're hubby did OK while u're on bed, it's way pain beyond that. as i haven't experiencing the pain of labor yet so i assumed this cervix exam is absolutely sakitla. And for the new mommy out there, FYI there will be a bleeding after the cervix exam done. It's normal and just bear with the pain a while ya

By hearing Doc said that i need to be admitted as i'm dilating 1-2cm now, i panicked. of cozla. Due date aku 21 July but it's just JUNE..and my baby are ready to coming out? Hubby was panicked than me. Blur! as if can't think what's next on to-do list he should do. I have to explain the process to him la..Grggrrr

So aku admitted la jawabnye. Took 4 bedded ward. I gave hubby a short list on what any other stuffs i  need then he's off.

Waktu malam menjelma

Ok so all the 4 bedded taken. 2 patients front of me was having their newborn baby. Next to me sedang mempertaruhkan nyawanya melawan contraction. Her dilation quite slowla, dari ptg tadi 3 cm dilate till now dah mlm pun still 3cm gak.

Must say that i had a good sleep tho. Haha. Yelah, i don't have any signs of labor yet ie : contractions, waterbeg pecah, bleeding or etc.. I am consider normal. Dat's why boleh tido lagi. Just that duk spital memang tak comfortable la. with Petit inside yang sometimes mengeras ke kiri kanan, it's not helping ok

So to the kill the time, i've read books, baca Yasin and eat la. But i did some observation beside than chatting with one of the Kakak yang gone thru C-sec due to her daughter was big, 3.7kg

From my observation, admitted kat spital Selayang ni Or maybe applies to other govt hosp that :


-pls bring your own baby diapers. Hosp only provide the first time your baby was born and that's it
-No matter whether you deliver normal or C-sec, they will leave your baby with you at nite. Reason ; so you can have a bonding time with your baby + breast feed your baby (BF) galakan dari kerajaan to BF your baby till 6 mths- habisla takde rehat once we ber-penat lelah melahirkan anak. dang!
-Shower time for baby- Ok yang ni we can get ready all the baby stuffs then handed over to the nurses, they will shower your kids for you and return :)
-You have to wear their ugly-faded maternity blouse no matter how huge is that compared to your size.For more comfortable, bring your own kain batik
-and bring extra pillows for your comfortness
-i bet everyone's think that the hosp gonna be a cold like the A/C macam baru kene service, BUT it's not. it can be warm and jgn terkejut some of the patient bring their own fan..haha

Tuesday- 29 June

As early as 7am, everyone's was wide awake.

It's time for another cervix exam to be done. This time about 8-9am plus kot, done by Dr.Elyana and surrounded with the rest of the doc and nurses in-charge. Another TWO fingers again inside my VG. She said the cervix is still open at 2cm

Convinced her that no signs of any labor yet, so finally they decided that I Can Discharge today.

That was the best moment i've been waiting for. I've been wishing for that, just let me go home and rest and i will return once my signs is a real and pain one , i told myself and the Doc

Knowing how the govt hosp works, it takes time on EVERYTHING. maybe except if aku really nak terberanak kot then they do panic. What time do i discharged? Almost 3PM. Almost a day and plus, they still haven't charge me for anything yet. Please be reminded that i have paid a deposit for the hospitalization of RM350 in case i deliver that day. But I'm NOT. So refund la my money.

Delicately i told hubby that we come again during the next check-up in case i don't pop out yet, and claim the  refund. It has to be done BEFORE i am admitted again for the real labor




Well then, here u goes my story. 
Now, i am more aware and alert on when i should rush to the hospital:


-if my water bag break, within 24 hours is the max time

-if i face any bleeding 

-if my contractions were not that far apart, maybe within 5-10 mins . As it getting nearer and stronger, should have rush to the hosp

 I 've discharged with still 2cm dilation, i am getting the bleeding spotting which is normal if your cervix has opened up. Just be alert on any other signs of labor

Dear baby Petit, Mommy wishes that you'll give me a really BIG signs if you're coming out.

Aktiviti before meletop

Still in counting days mode untuk meletop

Nak ikutkan this Tues is the next check-up..so can't wait

So before meletop, let us do everything yang rasanye tak dapat dilakukan when dah deliver later

I kinda like this weekend. Because, baby sale are everywhere. Haha. meaning big hole in the pocket......for the Ayah la kan :)

Started by visiting the Warehouse sale at Puchong. It's already in our calendar as we knew they gonna have it again this June. So a chance that not to be missed. We managed to find a baby carrier+car seat. Still within our budget. But pity to those kids that been dragged by their parents to that  places. Dahla ramai orang plus it's so-so hot. Even my peluh mengalir from top to the bottom. It was bright sunny eventho that time was about 5 pm +. It strikes my mind to wonder that whether all these parents are purposely dragged their children along or they kinda don't have any choice?But being me, i will try not to bring along my kids. 

Beside, bawak anak ke tempat mcmtu mengundang poket anda akan jadi berlubang dgn lebih besar coz your kids would be able to choose their own preferred toys.

Next place, Mothercare Sale. Thx Sha for the immediate info

Went to Bangsar coz the place quite huge and was hoping all the stuffs that we want were there, which is surprisingly..NOT. Barang yang aku nak takde plak, the breast pump. Memang nak beli manual but saje gatai duk carik auto gak. But wasn't available so just bought the manual-la. Honestly, i wasn't really sure what to look at at the breast pump tuh but since Sha dah briefed sket so agaknye taula.haha

For me as long ada breast pump and the extra cups/bottles given dah cukup but a bit happy when we found out later at home that Avent includes :

Manual breast pump

5 extra cups and cover

a pair of disposable nursing pads

2 extra nipples and barang2 spare part yg lain 

Cost damaged for hubby :

RM240- carrier seat + 2 other toys (carrier tu brand biase je tau)

RM240 breast pump after 20% sale (brand Avent)

So dinner aku la plak belanja hubby kat Dome. Poor that he already had a HUGE hole in his pocket already

and so goes the next day, makan tak hingat. A&W, ceasar salad, carrot milk yang sedap, Chocolate Volcano (brownies with ice-cream je) what a heaven. Lepas ni dah meletop cannot eat all these. So just shut up and don't say anything when it comes to food. Arios

Updates untuk hari selasa

Another visit to PAC, hospital selayang  today. In fact should go yesterday but since My dear Gynae replied sms lambat sangat, i'm off to work already la

This morning another mild period pain sign .So decided to visit Dr Irish and get his opinion. Meantime, sambung tido another half an hour after updated Boss and my new replacement girl :)

Checked and after the baby heartbeat + CTG dah buat smua tu, assured that i've got NO contractions yet. was just another Braxton.

BUT Petit has surely on its way down to my birth canal after Dr. Najwa tekan sini and sana on my pelvic bone, which i told her "Do not press that part too long as you're pressing my bladder", kang aku terkencing gak kat situ

I am 36 weeks now and Irish said lets give another week or two and we'll see how it goes, whether Petit has really into the birth  canal and ready to go out.Dang! rasa macam cepat je . Nasib bag smua dah packed and loaded.

And they gave me the Fetal movement Chart form, where i have to monitor Petit's movement from now on. If less than a 10 kicks each day, pls visit the hosp again.

Rasa aku harus start minum the Air zam-zam as per Sha and start wish for all the good things that gonna happen during my delivery time

Oh ya, saya nervous + excited OK!! 

PS : ada dlm 1-2 weeks je utk makan all the foods & drinks that i want before kene berpantang for 44days after this. yes Sha, i'm listening to your advise :P

counting down

As i read back all my entries recently, it's all evolved on Petit

Maafla yer wahai readers, i'm a bit excited on getting my new addition family members in a month time. U'll feel the same when you're in the same boat with me

Today itself marked that im entering the 36weeks. meaning?ai dah 9 bulan pregnant la. Meaning?My baby dah matured enuff and whenever she feels like to pop out, she is pleased to do so

By this time, trust that all her stuff has been packed nicely and loaded to Ayah's car in case anything might happen.

And most of orang cakap,at this stage, u have to be extra careful. Anything can jadi . Macam incident yg ai jatuh pelepap mcm nangka busuk didepan McD la. Alhamdulillah that so far i dont have major prob during my pregnancy. 

By this time pun, i'm 98% done with the Baby Scrapbook. Nak tau bagaimana rupanye?

Please visit me during my confinement and u'll have the chance to flip through it. If tak pun, i will post it LATER in this blog la which i dunno when..hehe

Progress on myself?Back ache yg semakin- makin terasa. Tido yang started to feel like sleepless. The heartburn pun terasa. Tido sudah semakin tak selesa. Either i'm sweating like mad out of sudden, awake by the needs to have a water thirsty yg amat or any false alarm/sign labor that u might encountered. Whatever it is, just be prepared

and today pun, managed to do the handover with my replacement lady, Syikeen, in just one day then i realized actually keje aku taklah banyak mana pun tapi rasa all this while macam banyak je. HAHA. Jgn jeles

Ok now, i should start plan bilakah date yang sesuai harusku amik AL in prepare for my maternity?Dah plan nak mintak doc MC for a week ni..jeng3 *idea jahat sudah kembali-in order nak safe kan AL for cuti rayala*

heshemeyou

sudah buat check up for the weeks of 35 for Petit

Find outs are :-

Petit's weight currently are 2.2kg - still small for me but as per doc that is fine and good enuff for baby.

Predicted that i'm gonna be delivered on time or maybe a week earlier
Air ketuban/water beg is sufficient, so no problem

Petit's spine are good, covered with the skin, has a small tummy obviously and the liver, both kidneys are in good condition too

Slowly moving towards my pelvic bone, in prepare for delivery later which approx in a month time and that's why i felt the pain down there.

Good news are- so far i have no BP, diabetic or UTI prob. but have to come again for the final UTI record. just to ensure there's no more bacteria

Petit currently di position yg sudah menyenget sket, but still not to the birth canal yetla. I know my baby is good & behaved inside

Looks like i'm in a good condition and Petit too. Alhamdulillah. Now we just wait and see whether are there any signs of early labor ? As long it's 36 weeks and above, Petit lungs are matured so should be ok

me & hubby in the process of find a suitable names for Petit. Well actually we have one on each but hubby made me changed my mind, so have to Google againla..any suggestion ?

Puffy Puffy me

Berada di minggu 34 into 35 weeks now.
Ni bukan carta Hot FM tapi carta my pregnancy ye

This week yang teramat bz coz office had big big event of the year. AGM & Gala dinner 2010 at Renaissance. But being a preggers, i'm quite lucky and should say thanks to all the concerned ppl out there. Kelebihan ibu mengandungkan, been priority on anything.

Ada je orang bukakan pintu, bagi free/empty seats, bagi laluan utk amik food dulu and less work to be done this time.cool

Nak dijadikan cerita, ai jatuh macam nangka busuk pelepap depan McD ampang point. Best thing is both my knee landed dulu then my two hands, with McD bags on my left hand and Alhamdulillah, perut tak landed skali (can u imagine that ai jatuh in "crawl" position?) ye begitula saya jatuh. baby were in Good condition, moving lively as usual. So i shouldn't be worried much. Good  Petit :)

Habis luka both knee, terkenang plak zaman2 skola waktu jadi atlit and netball players, selalu jatuh kat padang skola yg kasar and ber-tar itu. Auw, both knee dah tak cantik. Clumsy me

Hidup perlu diteruskan. Sampai hotel carik First Aid kit, balut both knee and then i just sat looking at my colleagues buat keje. hehe. Saya di beri rehat almost everytime, takyah buat keje. But sometimes bosan gak takda keje duk melanguk tengok colleagues buat keje, so just offered minor helpla

This is my latest pic taken when i was at my 34 weeks. Puffy or cutie?

I don't have any issue when it comes to packing & unpacking, eventho for my travelling or what-so-everla. I ni jenis yang suka cepat kemaskan barang so mataku tak sakit melihatkan barang2/baju yang unattended itu. Once dah kemas lega hati and can do other stuffs.

So i started packing for Petit's and myself, in prepare for hospital nanti

Hari Keputeraan Agung 5 June 2010

Harini Hari Keputeraan Baginda Agung. Moga dilimpahkan kurnia dan hidup sejahtera selalu Tuanku.

Daulat Tuanku

Duk melepak dalam bilik, a bit fresh habis mandi sambil duk Google cari pasal pregnancy issue.

I am the type yang if this is my first time encountered something, mesti curious nak tau why it's like this?why it's like that?and maybe because of that, i like to read, to do a research or anything  than can answered my curiosity

Currently, i am dok wondering why my pelvic bones or tulang di celah peha kiri ni macam sakit?as if ade pressure diatasnya. Sometimes ade gak terasa macam bende kat bawah ni nak terkoyak je, tapi still bearable. 

Nak tanye my Gynae takut tak reply sms pulak, nak sms my gf yg dah ade experienced takut cam i am being so worried over something yang normal plak. End up i'm googling, BUT no answers found. How?

Then tadi, Googled about the differences between maternity loop and pads, there is a difference actually. Maternity loop pad is something yang ade cam tempat nak gantung tali at the end of it banding dengan maternity pad yang like our normal pad for period, just that it's slightly tebal and panjang (to menampung your blood flow during nifas nanti). So i bought the wrong pad la ni. Anyhow, lucky it just cost RM3+, so tak terasela sangat pembaziran yang telah di buat :)

I just hope Petit is not ready yet to pop anytime now as i prefer to reach at least at 36 weeks, dah ngam2 9 months as i read, time tu the baby's lung are matured and ready. So Petit, please help Mummy to ease the pain till the right time comes

Penat dah

33 weeks now

My feelings?Nervous, excited, penat, tak larat, smua adela
Paling obvious, tahap kemalasan utk bekerja reached it's climax
(about 90% kot)
I am tired of climbing these 4 stair case regardless of you said it's good for my deliver process, later. But i don't that now.
My tummy is getting heavier every now and then and today i can felt that Petit's is slowly moving lower than her normal position.
And also pressing my bladder. Constantly, i will go to toilet more often then

Ya Allah kuatkan la semangat dan tabahkan hamba mu ini dlm menempuh harungan untuk menjadi seorang ibu. 

Tulang bontot/punggung dah terasa lenguh and berat. In fact back ache semakin terasa. Buatla ape pun mmg terasa badan is berat than anything, especially the tummy

Just can't wait to meet my Gynae on this 15 June, so i can know what's the latest development with Petit, as she is moving a bit slowly now. And perut pun kekadang mengeras, which i dunno why.As long as she's moving, i shouldn't be worry, i guess

So far Petit's stuff hasn't been loaded to the car yet, we will soon.
Lain smua dah beres. Tunggu nak meletup je ni. I wish that i can be at home  relaxing and sleeping. I guess that must be soon

GIGI

it's not about the Indon band GIGI but about my gigi la

Finally i went for a scaling, thanks to dear Hubby for dragging me
Nervous tau. It's been a very long while...

Doc Ainuddin, that was the dentist that on duty. I've been expected some comments from him by knowing how bad my gum is which eversince pregnant i've been facing with this gum bleeding and bla bla. And yes, he commented that i have a serious plaque problem. Yeah i'm aware of that doc, thanks for telling me again.

being a good doc to his patient, he did briefed me on few of the things that i should know about taking care of your teeth, during pregnancy :-

-If your gum is bleed, it shows that you're having a problem wt your gum. It's either the gum swollen or there's an infection going on

-If your gum is bleed, KEEP ON brushing your teeth. DO NOT stop. It will somehow help to remove all the plaque that been stucked. The bleed will only last a while. No worries

-Ensure that you use an antiseptic mouth to gargle eg : Listerine, Colgate after brushing your teeth. Use it AFTER u brush your teeth ok

Ok now the scaling process begun

Urgh, i  freshly remembered how the sounds of that scaling been. It's me-ngilu-kan. Very.. when it reaches at certain part that need to be sental all the plaque, especially at my bottom teeth. Sungguh tidak selesa. And i can feel all the dirts been thrashed out from my teeth. Bleeding?Oh definitely.
banyak ok.

Once the bottom part done, then my upper teeth pulak. Aiyo.. Seems like it took ages for him to finish. But best thing is he sorta treated me like some kind of a little girl. Why?Sebabnye, whenever i felt the pain, i will raised my hand or made a pain sound and he will said
"Oh sorry darling"

"Ok, u just hang on there a while", 

"Ok, good girl",

"Ok sayang, tahan sikit yer. Sikit je lagi nak habis", 

"Good, brilliant and we're done "

He also brushed my every single tooth with this special-strawberry-taste tooth paste. And he said, it doesn't matter any tooth paste you used, but the brushing techniques is important and don't forget to use floss.

Ha, guna floss. I mmg surrender. Mmg tak reti nak use floss. Selalu tgk my dad been using that, tapi i don't plak till doc mentioned it tadi. Aiyark

And once ended, he made me promised to him that :-

-Please ensure that you brush every single angle/part of your teeth. Doesn't matter if it takes 2-3 mins to brush, but pls do clean all parts, at least twice a day or the best way, after every meal

-Once finish brushing, use your antiseptic mouth to gargle. (this is the correct way of using it. Brush first then gargle)

-to visit dentist every 6 months to avoid the plaque problem. Don't wait till it get worse.

-Whenever you're pregnant again, to visit dentist at every trimester. brush your teeth regardless of your gum is bleeding or not. Use floss if can

So dengan ini, saya telah belajar cara-cara yang betul utk membersihkan gigi.
Actually, it's antara rajin & malas je nak buat kan. But i think it's time for me to be serious on taking care of my teeth. And so do you readers

And i went home with a cleaner teeth =)

can u see that part of my gum still got the bleed stain?

to use this for the next 3 days then continue with others

Petit's weekend

It's all about Petit

Saturday 
Hubby off for this weekend. So we have scheduled our plan accordingly. Eventho timing been the only problem for us ..bangun lambat la tu but all went smoothly.
We started with cleaning up all Petit's big stuff eg: playpen, stroller, car seat.
Berpeluh-peluh la gak. But it's all worth and for Petit, takpe layankan je

Dah settled kat bawah, time to re-organize the room plak. After measurement been taken, we decided on how the playpen should be placed. Re-arranging the table & stuffs..ok we satisfied. need more space for Petit's later in the room.
Ended at 5pm..ha time flies so fast la. Penat mmg penat tapi best. Hubby & wifey's activity in the weekend, bukan selalu pun.

Lapar?Oh yes. Freshen-up and we're off to Johnny's at JJAU2. Walaupun orang ramai but we managed to go through it. Melantak tak hingat. Then pi carik few of Petit's stuff then we're off for a deep sleep..

Next weekend? it's gonna be another exciting weekend again i guess..hehe
But I'm happy that we're done with Petit's prep..i am so can't wait for Petit to arrives in my arms =)

Congrats again Fai & Naqi

 with the bride & groom

Sunday- went to baby Expo at Midvalley. A bit excited coz dah berzaman giler tak pegi MV ni. Predicted that the road will be  jammed everywhere but it's not. Dapat parking pun senang je. Alhamdulillah.

Perut harusla diisi dahulu sebelum more walking.

Kenyang. Ok it's time to walked around. Should say the expo quite OK, ade few sales at certain booth going on. Managed to grab few items for my dear Petit. Spend almost 1 jam lebih gakla, then we cuci mata at MV. Hubby bought shoes for himself, which is for me shopping brg Petit pun dah cukup kat JJ.

Noticed, dah 7 bulan ni the strength to walk more is getting lesser. Either sakit pinggang or kaki cramped. Tahan & sabar je la. i've got another 10 more weeks to go thru. Phiew, time flies cepat eh

That's my weekend been. Thanks to Hubby for teman kan me whenever i go
and also to pay for my expenses on Petit's stuff. Wuff you :)
