Labor Experience

So aku done beranak pada 31/3/2023 hari Jumaat jam 7:28PM Alhamdulillah allahuakbar.

Tak sangka ye aku berjaya mengeluarkan seketul manusia yang comel. Syukur sangat sangat dengan rezeki yang Tuhan kurniakan, Hayyan Haris, sempurna sungguh ciptaanMu 💖

Aku telah diarahkan untuk serah diri pada hari Isnin 27/3/2023 supaya akan melalui proses Induction of Labor pada Selasa 28/3/2023 atas sebab tertentu. Jadi aku telah memilih Hospital Tunku Jaafar Seremban sebagai tempat bersalin atas sebab keselesaan. Terdapat ward 2nd class, bangunan baru PRIBA dan banyak feedback bagus! Suamiku telah memohon paternity leave dan menemanku dari awal hingga ke akhir proses bersalin. Pada pendapat aku, selepas ini suami ku tak perlu menemaniku sebelum bersalin, aku cuma mahu dia teman aku hari bersalin and onwards sangat ngam!

Hari pertama (Isnin)

Buat test RTK di luar bangunan PRIBA. Tunggu result dalam masa sejam dan baru boleh masuk PAC. Sepanjang proses suami hanya boleh duduk di kerusi menunggu di luar PAC. Misi akan check jantung baby, air kencing. Then doctor akan scan baby. Setelah selesai, pukul 3 ptg baru dipanggil masuk ward. Aku masuk ward 3A Kenanga. Pada mulanya aku dapat ward class 3 which is panasss gila baqhang time malam, tapi staff nurses tukarkan senyap2 kepada ward class 2, thanks! 💓 

Hari kedua (Selasa)

Seawal jam 4 pagi aku dikejutkan untuk membuat ctg tengok jantung baby. Kena makan biskut and minum dulu supaya baby tak tidur semasa check ctg. Pukul 6pg solat dan pukul 7pg time bishop scoring os still closed, thus sebiji prostin inserted. Mak and adik ipar datang melawat jugak harini. Contraction pain was weakly felt and it was 2:10 je. But around maghrib macam tu baru kuat sampai takleh tidoq semalaman. 

The next day; Rabu my bishop os 1cm cx softer than before, thus foley was inserted. To me, foley akan sakit kalau kita banyakkan berjalan atau berdiri. Gigih jugaklah berjalan meronda 1 ward hehhe. That night my cx improving to 3cm and already dislodged so it was removed. Tak sakit pun prosesnya. Demi anak akan ku redah apa saja lautan api gittuww ecewah

Anddd on Thursday specialist dah bagi plan utk  turun labor room but then masuk dalam awaiting list sahaja. Yelah ramai manusia nak beranak kat HTJ tu. Orang macam aku primid and 3cm ni patut bertenang dulu. And pagi tu buat bishop tapi tak insert apa-apa and my os already 4cm. 😊 Seharian sis kebosanan haha tapi its okay, dapat spend time lagi dengan my baby boo dalam perut. 

Hari beranak

Pada pagi ni aku dapat merasakan yang Haris akan lahir. Then tuptup pukul 6:50pg misi suruh prepare diri and hanya bawa pampers and baju bayi sahaja. Fon tidak dibenarkan bawa *saaaad

Jadi pabila masuk ke LR, aku telah request untuk epidural. Bad decision did late. Supposedly aku minta the day earlier sebab they need my full blood count result as to check for any platelet disorder or low haemoglobin. After they poked me and blood sample sent, needed to wait about 2 hours for blood result and anaesthesia team came at 12N thank Goddd they made it before Jumaah prayer. Thanks Dr!

My first epidural experience:

The process is smooth and a bit pain when inserting local analgesic needle. During catheter insertion pun I felt a bit pressure but all in all it was very very nice experience. During labor process I never felt any contraction pain Alhamdulillah. 

Labor time:

At 4:30ptg Alhamdulillah labor progress, me already 7cm this time. Sangat sangat risau kalau tak progress sbb risk of caesarean section sngat high! & they also hold on my pitocin induction because of hyperstimulation (strong contraction) as in 5 in 10 however I never felt that. Only felt strong pressure (his head already at my perineum!) from 4:30PM to 7PM. Pheww😅😅 That time pukul 7PM aku dah tak tahan dah memang nak keluarkan dia jugak so teran few times sampai kena vaccum, alhamdulillah lahir jugak my hero at 7:28PM while semua tengah berbuka puasa 😂😊😜. He was born with good Apgar score but heard grunting thus requiring CPAP and treated as congenital pneumonia. All in all alhamdulillah for everything. Thank you staff nurse in charge pagi and petang tu, MO oncall Dr Ghanee & sepcialist oncall Dr (tak ingat nama). Also to Paeds MO thanks for treating my baby Haris. 

After labor rasa penat sangat- sangat, last makan pukul 8pg nasib baik makan mihun and roti banyak banyak. Aku tidur sampai 9:30pm then baru lah staff hantar balik ke ward. Time ni sedih sbb baby takde tapi yang penting dia selamat 💓 next baby aku nak jaga!

The next day tu Sabtu minta dengan staff untuk hantar aku tengok baby. Nasib baik ada yang baik hati walaupun mulut dia sejenis lancang jugakla. Dapat tengok 5 minit pun jadi la walaupun tak cukup pun sebenarnya. Ibu rindu dia waktu ni. Hari hari sedih sebab tak dapat jaga dia 😭😭😭 Tapi petang tu mama, Sam, Abg Fiq and mak + in law dah datang and alhamdulillah I can be discharged home. Sedih snagat tengok Hayyan Haris sebab ibu tinggalkan dia. 

Long story cut short. My baby was finally discharged on 4/4/23. Pertama kali dapat susukan and pegang dia 😔😭Dah faham dah perasaan ibu-ibu yang datang melawat babies dekat SCN. They ALL CAN hold their child! Pegang lah selama nak kecuali jangan kacau kerja doktor and misi jela. Sebab masa baru lahir sangat sangat precious. We cannot go back to times when they were newborn phase anymore. 

And I knew I AM A MOTHER once i breastfed him. Care for him. Nurse him. Tend to him whenever he needed me. I love you my firstborn. I wouldn't trade you for anything in this world, SON 💖
