♥ How She..Fresh From Oven ♥

My labor story. Before I forgot about the moment, which is impossible actually, (tee hee!) i'd better write it down here. Boleh suruh Delisha baca suatu hari nanti.

Tuesday (5 April 2011)

I woke up as usual to perform Subuh prayer. Kejut husband sekali. I felt something not right somewhere. Hehe. Boleh pulak kan. Malam tu pun reluctant nak hug husband time tido sebab sengal-sengal otot. Satu badan saket dan rase tak sedapppp. Agagaga. I told husband I tak larat nak buatkan breakfast and terus masuk bilik air. Takde nak buat ape pun, cume tak pasal-pasal rase loya pulak. Tetibe husband tolak pintu bilik air and asked me with confusing look.

"Honey buat ape ni?"

"Takde pape. Tetibe rase nak muntah." Pastu I sengih-sengih sambil suruh die jangan sibuk sebab I maluuuuuuu. Okei, muntah depan husband or anyone gonna be the most embarassing moment to me. Hiks. Tak jadik muntah punnn. Sekian.

At 7.30 am, husband went to work and I tergolek semula atas katil sambil tido-tido ayam. I felt the contraction every 10-15mins. The mild one. Feeling tak sedap hati, I texted husband. He said, siap-siapla..gi klinik. At 10am he went home to fetch me and we went straight to Klinik Kita. Bla..bla..bla.. the doc said they don't have CTG machine to check for contraction and suggest us to go to HKL straight away. So there we go.

Arrived at HKL, registered at PAC counter first. Here, all the important documents are needed like the Sijil nikah or kad nikah, buku merah, ic husband and wife, etc. Go thru the simple check up and documentation and last sekali vaginal check. The most scariest thing in my mind. The doc seluk and she said baru dilate 1cm.

I was OMG. Totally unprepared! Mentally. Ehehe. After some discussion, I told them I want to be warded. Cesss.. sendiri request. Padahal jarang giler orang baru dilate 1 cm dah mintak nak duduk ward. Ngade-ngade namenye! Hehe. Bukan ape, I don't know what to expect so better stay at the ward. Ada orang monitor. Furthermore, the doc at PAC said kalau takde progress duduk ward satu malam je. I pon.. okei! Dalam hati still yakin.. false alarm je nih. Walaupun ada jugak terfikir, boleh ke dah dilate 1cm pastu tutup balik? :D

Warded at third class temporarily sebab first class dah fully occupied walaupun ada Guarantee Letter. Only handphone are allowed, kene tanggalkan sume jewelry.. wallet and handbag pun bagi kat husband. Officially warded at HKL 12.30 pm.

At 2.30pm, CTG showed one in ten, means 1 contraction in ten mins. Time nih boleh handle lagi sakit contraction. Steady lagi walaupun dari pagi tahan sakit. Tapi makan pun dah tak lalu. Sempat sumbat pau kacang dan pau ayam ke mulut. Ramai betul orang kat third class ward nih. Tengok masing-masing ada yang baru keluar labor room, ada yang tengah susukan baby, ada yang tunggu turn nak masuk labor room .. terasa something yang sukar nak diexplain. It's gonna be my turn soon.. Kot? Hati masih berkata. False alarm.

About 6.30pm, nurse datang bawak troli ala-ala Jusco punye troli.. I serious tau. Tak tipu.

Husband: Nak gi shopping ke nurse? Lawak sengal okei.

Nurse: Eh, takla.. pindah ward. Letak semua barang dalam troli ni.

Nurse suruh packed barang sebab baru ade katil kosong kat first class ward. After Maghrib, husband balik rumah coz husbands are not allowed to wait for their wives here. Doc asyik tanye ada tanda-tanda like keluar lendir+darah and air ketuban pecah tak? Of courselah takde kan. Rasa macam loser la pulak. Hehehe. Start pukul 8.30 malam, the aches turns into an endless pain. I could hardly sleep. I made my own contraction chart. Tiap kali contraction datang I tulis kat kertas the time. Dari situ I tengok contraction dah tak consistent. Kejap 5 mins sekali, 3 mins, back to 10mins. Nurse pun kejap-kejap datang amik blood pressure, check heart beat baby and duduk sebelah, letak tangan kat perut, kira masa untuk contraction.

Wednesday (6 April 2011)

At mid night, I dah tak bleh tahan the pain, sampai sakit kepala tahan sakit. Masyaallah. Its unbearable. Ada losyen Mustajab Halia tu je. Apetah motips I letak losyen ni dalam bag hospital. Agagaga. Minyak angin langsung tak bawak. Nora Danish suruh letak kat perut, I letak kat dahi and tengkuk. Panas weyhhh. Nasiblah tu je yang ada. Lega sket saket kepala.

Sampailah ke Subuh.. After mandi and perform Subuh prayer, I baring mengiring atas katil. Dalam pukul 7.40am.. tetibe rase bunyi POP! dalam perut. Seriously terase seperti ade belon pecah dalam perut! Lepas tu splashhhhhhh.. rase air keluar. Macam air terjun. OMG lagi. Alamak. Air ketuban pecah. Tapi I tetap baring mengiring statik dan maintain cun . Doc datang check and buat VE. Baru 3cm dilated.

Nurse kate rileks dulu. Kena pakai pad sebab nanti nak check kalau keluar lendir+darah atau air ketuban tukar warna. Kalau tak tahan sakit baru gitau. So I pun bertahan sampai dah tak tertahan. Time nih masih terasa air ketuban keluar slow-slow. Sempat sms husband suruh die siap-siap. Okei, try to be cool. Duduk hujung katil sambil breakfast milo and biskut Tiger. Memang sahla kena beranak arini jugak so kene tambah tenaga ni. Dalam pukul 8.15am, ada sorang Sister tegur.

She: Ko ni kenapa dik? Sister ni macam mak-mak gitu.

Me: Sakit.. tahan sakit contraction

She: Patutlah sampai keluar peluh jantan. Sempat lagi makcik ni buat lawak. Hehe.

Me: Nurse, saye rase nak muntahla.

Bolehla pulak tetibe rase nak muntah. Diorang terus kelam-kabut carikkan plastik. Sebenarnye kan.. sakit gile tahan sakit contraction..sampai terkeluar sume isi perut T___T. Tengok I menahan sakit sampai muntah-muntah, Sister terus suruh nurse prepare cecair and glove untuk buat VE. 4cm dilated oready. Get ready to be sent to the Labour Room. I was like.. uhuks. Apesal macam cepat sangat tetibe nih? Tapi mase tu dah tak larat nak fikir apa-apa. Sempat sms husband, mintak die terus ke LR nanti dan jangan lupe bawak baby bag. Oh ye, mintak die bagitau my parents and sape-sape je lah. Sebenarnye yang dari semalam masuk ward nih takde sape tau. Huhu. Masuk LR dalam pukul 9.00am. Pindah dari strecher ke katil. Tetibe ada someone tegur.

She: Eh, NADDD!!!

Me: Eh, EMMM!!! Dr. Emira. My classmate at SAMURA and matrixmate. What a small world. :D

She: Baby ko nanti aku sambut.

Okei. Mula-mula macam segan nak show private part kat orang yang dikenali. Tapi bile dah sakit tu, ape-ape jelahhh. Lagipun rapat gak ngan Em mase kat Matrix. Rase lagi secure pulak. :) Kat HKL, LR bilik sorang-sorang. So ade privacy and husband boleh teman masuk. Ada sorang nurse@midwife yang monitor our condition. Tak lama lepas tu husband datang. A sigh of relief. When I saw him. Sakit dan takut. Contraction makin kuat time ni. They offer me Epidural. I macam blur and I say yes. Pastu kene sign satu borang. I conteng je kot. Dah tak ingat dah sign macammane.

Husband: Sakit tak? Sambil urut belakang badan I which was actually, buat saye rase lagi sakit. Huhu.

Me: Abang senyap jela.. Abang diam jela.. Tak payah cakap pape.. Mintak ampun bang. Di luar kawalan. Hehe.

That was the longest dialog I had with him as far as I could ever remember. Time nih sedar lagi. A few minutes after that, I dah tak tahan sakit so they gave me Pentadine. Start from that moment.. I dah macam mamai. Time contraction datang, I mule merintih-rintih sakit. Bila sakit tu pergi, I macam mamai balik. Mase tu dah tak ingat dilation berape tapi contraction bertambah kuat lagi. Setiap kali contraction datang, I cakap "sakit bangggg" kat husband. Epidural lambat sebab pakar bius takde.

Time nih I muntah dua kali lagi. Disebabkan perut dah kosong after muntah yang first.. this time around muntah hijaula jawabnye.. Gross, kan.. Malunyerh! Tapi dalam keadaan macam tu memang dah tak hiraukan pape. So they gave me the laughing gas. Memang gelaklah bile dapat gas ni. Okei. Tak kelakar. Tak lame lepas tu baru cucuk Epidural. Diorang suruh duduk peluk bantal. Tersengguk-sengguk I time kene cucuk tu. Tu pun rase macam tak yah kot sebab macam same je sakitnye. Lagipun I dah drowsy gile akibat amik etanox. Husband yang tolong bagi laughing gas nih. Sian die kene marah sebab die bagi sikit-sikit. I nak sedut banyak-banyakkkkk. Siap tarik tangan die tak bagi lepas. Hehe. Nasib die tak lempang I supaye sedar diri sket.

Bile dah 9cm dilated, nurse suruh tunggu lagi sampai 10cm dilated. Time tu.. sakit tahap maksima yang saye rase badan nih boleh tahan and get ready to push. Tak ingat berape kali push.. 11.59am. Sedar-sedar je dengar tangisan Delisha and all the pain gone with the wind! Hilang semua sakit.. Allahuakbar.

Hmm.. 3 hours in LR punye citer. Orang kate agak cepat jugakla saye bersalin. Dari air ketuban pecah tu terus contraction makin hebat and bukaan pun makin cepat. Nasib baik masih punye tenaga untuk push walaupun tahan sakit contraction dari hari sebelumnye. So nye.. sila makan biskut Tiger dan minum Milo. :)

The pentadine, etanox the laughing gas and the epidural. These 3 SHOULD make up a perfect combo to reduce the pain, right?.. But to me, they still cant fight the contraction pain. Kalau ade rezeki next baby, baru boleh compare kurang ke tak sakit tu.. tu pun kalau I tak amik 3 benda ni.. :P

Kepada kawan-kawan blog especially mommy-to-be, jangan seriau pulak bile I citer pasal sakit tu.. I'm just comparing the pain from contraction yang mule-mule sampailah contraction bile baby dah nak keluar sangat-sangat tu.. Setiap individu berbeza dari segi tahan sakit and tak tahan sakit, kan.. Sakit bersalin adalah nikmat dan anugerah yang Allah dah janjikan ganjarannye bagi setiap wanita bergelar ibu. Don't worry, Allah tidak akan membebankan hambaNya dengan sesuatu yang kita tak mampu. Walau berat macammane pun, Insyaallah kita akan mampu melaluinye.

Believe in urself.. *love*

Thanx husband sebab temankan sepanjang masa dan cool je all the time walaupun asyik kene marah ngan I. I'm impressed. Die tak takut darah. Haha. Adanye die, adalah juga semangat yang luar biase dalam diri ni. :D

Okei. That's my labor story. Sungguh panjang, kan. Hikayat 1001 Malam. :)
