Birth - part 1

Well guys, I'm officially a MOTHER! Yay for me!! :) Macam ndak percaya pun ada.. Mula - mula rasa surreal ja bila tau pregnant and now, I'm actually holding my baby in my arms.. Syukur alhamdulillah.. Besar sungguh kuasaMu ya Allah.. So, just so I don't forget that moment and who knows maybe someday my son would read this (hopefully) I'll blog about my experience.

Been up for around 20 minutes, in bed, still bepikir2 mo bangun ka tidak bangun ka tidak.. Sangat malas mo bergerak, maklumlah, berat mo bawak badan yang besar (hehehe..) when suddenly I felt something keluar between my legs.  At first I thought it was just a discharge (its common in pregnancy, especially at the third trimester to have discharge).  It was quite a "heavy discharge" but being malas, I ignored it.  Then I felt it again.  This is when I decided to wake up and get ready for work.  So besiap - siap la mau mandi and took my panties off.  Rasa hairan tgk there's nothing on my panty liner but my panties are soaking wet.  Still, I ignored it and went to take my bath.  It happen again in the toilet and in the bedroom after mandi so I decided to woke Hubbs up.  I asked him if he thinks my water just broke? Since this is my/our first experience, tidak tau pulak kan apa sebenarnya yg berlaku.. He just said, "bukan ba tu.. ntah2 macam hari tu.. teda apa2.. " and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, keluar lagi dengan banyaknya that "discharge" and he saw it with his own eyes.. Lepas tu dia yang panik lebih dari aku.. hahaha..

Texted a few friends asking about air ketuban.. What does it look like? What should I feel? According to them, its clear and normally I should start feel the pain of contraction, and even though I'm not feeling any pain whatsoever at that time, I should go to the hospital to check whats going on.  Hubbs was busy calling his parents and his sisters telling/ordering them to come meet us at the hospital (I told you he's more panic than I).  Took my time packing and getting ready with Hubbs constantly nag me to do it faster.  Since I'm not feeling any pain still, 've got a feeling that its going to be a long day and insisted that we go for breakfast first before going to the hospital, and boy was I glad that I insisted cause thats the last meal I ate untill 9pm that night.

Sampai hospital, told the nurse at the registration counter what happen and was asked to go to this room for check up. Masuk dalam this one room, I was asked to pee first then baring atas katil and kena pasang this monitoring gadget d perut utk amik heartbeat baby..  I was asked some questions, jam brapa air keluar, what color was it, was there any blood and they kept asking if I felt any contraction and I said no (not that I know what contraction feels like at that time hehe..).  I was feeling okay still at this time.. Still calm.. Hubbs on the other hand busy panicking.. Hahaha.. Pacing here and there.. Kept calling his parents and siblings to update on whats going on.  When the nurse keluar sekejap dari bilik Hubbs sat next to me and said.. "Abang rasa memang hari ni la anak kita keluar.." After a few minutes, ada satu nurse datang and cek the monitoring gadget.. Then, dia pun cakap mo cek bukaan.. Baru jak dia cakap mo cek bukaan I was like whatttt? huhu.. From what I heard (from friends yang sudah gave birth) it was so very uncomfortable time kena cek bukaan. Tapi bila burse tu cek my bukaan, it was not only uncomfortable it was painful! Rasanya macam nurse tu kasi masuk tangan dia sampai siku! And she kept on digging and digging and digging while saying "masi jauh lagi ni.. blum turun lagi kepala baby.. rahim masi ketat" huhu.. Apparently I still don't have any bukaan.  I was admitted anyways sebab sudah pecah air ketuban.  They told me if after 3 hours I still don't feel any contraction I would have to be induced or if I preferred, I can opt for C- sect sebab takut baby will be exposed to bacteria.  Because of the broken water bag, I have to give labour in 24 hours time.
