Ok, jom nak cerita sikit pengalaman melahirkan this time. Anak pertama, kedua dan ketiga semuanya mempunyai jalan cerita yang berbeza. Yang ke empat ni pun lain jugak ceritanya.

My first and third child, saya melahirkan secara induce, meaning forced labor, or planned labor. The fourth ni pun dah planned dengan Dr Fauziah nak bersalin on certain2 week, and she'll confirm hari apa yang dia available. Since I've been on MC (unpaid leave dah pun) for almost 1 month before my due date, so we decided to set for delivery on week of 23 July. Haahh...thats the first week of Ramadhaan. Bila check timetable Dr Fauziah, we'd go on Friday 27th.

Here we go..

27th 0030am - On the way to the APSH, we all singgah dulu Pelita Ampang Point, teh tarik session for the last time..heheheee...lepas ni kan kena pantang teh for quite sometime..angin orang tua tua kata. Huh, teh tarik, roti bakar, naan and tandoori tengah tengah malam mmg nikmat.

0130am - To Emergency APSH for admission. Orang masa ni ramai la jugak, mostly kanak kanak demam. Requested for single room, tapi kena KIV sebab penuh. So malam ni kena duduk twin sharing. Sebenarnya plan tak nak ambik package, sebab kalau everything ok, Jumaat tengahari bersalin, Sabtu tengahari boleh la balik umah dah. So memang tak ambik package.
Dah lepas bayar deposit etc, naik atas pegi maternity ward.. spouse tak boleh tunggu since bilik share dua orang kan, so oklah, cik abang, boleh la balik umah mengulit mimpi enak dalam bilik sendiri, kaan.

0630am - Tidur tidur ayam je pun, sebab memang tak best tidur kat hospital, tidur tapi tak lena. By 6.30am, nurse datang buat VE. Tak suka tak suka. Nurse dah la budak2.. lagipun tak pandai sangat la buat, normally kalau doctor or mw yang buat, tak la sakit dan takla lama sangat. Ni halaahai.. rasa macam nak ...haaiiiishh...ada la berdarah sikit.

0640am - Nurse masukkan ubat buang air besar. ni pun tak suka jugak.

0650am - First round ke toilet.
0715am - Second round to toilet.
0730am - Gosok gigi, lens on.

0740am - Berjalan menyerah diri ke LDR 3. Nurse in charge masa ni nama Zamrina. Very good mw. She was the nurse yang buat home nursing masa lahirkan Uthman in 2010 dulu. Dia tegur, akak ni yang duduk kat sini sini yang ada buat bisnes tudung tu kan.. Goood memory!
Lepas tukar baju.. mw pasangkan CTG and get ready dengan semua alat2 lain. I did inform her that I want epidural. She noted. Masa ni, kat labor room masyaaalah, sejuk yang amat. Kat APSH, aircond kat LDR tak boleh control, since lahirkan Muhsin 2006 dulu dah complain, but..sama je pun 2012 ni.

Ini lah LDR 3 APSH

0800am - MW set kan drip line. Then she called anesthetist.

0900am - Dr Hashim anesthetist in charge sampai. Epidural pun set. Masa ni myhusband dah sampai dah, lepas hantar kids to school at 8.30am.

0915am - Oxytocin on. Ni drip to stimulate uterus to start contraction.

1015am - VE by MW - 4cm.. sakit jugak masa ni. Meaning that - epidural did not work! it not supposed to feel anything as epidural was on 1 hour ago.

1030am - Dr Hashim set higher dose epidural.

1045am - VE by Dr Fauziah - 4cm. She broke the waterbag. Katanya pangkal rahim sangat lembut, progress akan cepat.

1115am - Ada sikit leaking kat epidural nye line, sebab tu if set at 5ml, mungkin yang masuk cuma 3ml. Doctor proposed nak reset. Huhuuu... what happened if it takes time to effective? Now dah 4 cm, kalau epidural yang baru ni ambik masa 1-2 hours, and what happened kalau bersalin cepat?
So I said, just wait for a few minutes, we wait till 1130 then we'll see how.
Masa ni contraction dah agak kuat. My husband and doctor rancak bersembang pasal aktiviti pancing laut dalam kat Myanmar Thailand mana tah...

1130am - MW checked - dah 6cm opening. Contraction semakin kuat tapi boleh tahan lagi.

1145am - Dah 10cm. So bye bye the new epidural. Tawakkal kat Allah je lah. Mungkin Allah nak saya rasa jugak sakit nya nak bersalin. Kita merancang, Allah menentukan.
Masa ni, kalau rasa sakit je, ambik Entonox.
Dr Fauziah yang baru nak gi OT ada case, terus berlari2 masuk LDR3 dengan boot PCK nye...

1153am - Alhamdulillah, dengan 2 kali percubaan, the baby out. Me? Still layan Entonox sebab doctor nak jahit pulak.

The baby seems very cold. lepas di azankan, dapat hug baby untuk nak kurangkan sejuk dia. Masa ni, dah celik mata pandang sana sini.. sambil bermail dengan air liur dia..
