20.12.2009

Tarikh di atas…sungguh significant. It’s the date that has changed my life forever. No longer just a wife. I’m now a mom.

On 19.12.2009, I gie lah check up mcm biasa. Dr check and said placenta dah matured. Nak induce labour next week. So to be prepared by Monday, the clinic will call and give me a date. He wanted to wait a few more days to check on the baby’s heart beat.

Jadiknya on the same day itself, I still lagik aktif berjalan and bawak kete sini sana. Siap naik tangga turun tangga lagik :p

Tetiba on Sunday morning (20.12.2009), at around 7am, I dah rasa ada contraction sket. Lain macam plak sakit nie. Cepat-cepat I mandi, paksa Nas and my mom siap-siap, nak gie Roopi. My mom dah panik. I plak soh dia chill hehehehe.

Sampai je situ, I terus check in (wah kau ingat hotel???). The nurse starting doing a CTG and the Head Nurse check bukaan. Dah dilated 2cm with irregular contractions. Time nie I rilek je lagik. Dah lepak dalam bilik kan, siap boleh suruh Nas amik lappy and on for me. I sempat wooo chat ngan Penol hahahahaha.

Lama jugak lah nurse tuh asyik buat CTG. Then she suruh rileks sampai doctor sampai.

Thats how on 20.12.2009 at 6.10pm, Syed Rafael Jansen was born…through caesar. Reason being so, his heart beat was not stabil. I dah dialated 2cm and my baby was forcing himself out tapinya tak dapat nak keluar sebab my pelvic bone takmo expand (ini lah padahnya kalau kurus sangat dengan pinggul yang kurang ada isi).

So at 5.30pm my doctor datang and said kena caesar to save the baby. Baby dah under distress. So under his advice I was up for it.

5.40pm I was pushed into the OT. Dr. Ajit yang sangat baik telah mencocok epidural di tulang belakang sambil I membongkok ke depan tanpa memakai baju pape. Iya memang akan jadik camtuh. Time tuh tak kesah bogel terlanjang bulut pun mo man tai janji baby dapat keluar dengan selamat.

I mintak numb separuh je sebab nak tengok my baby masa dia keluar. The put a shield kat dada I so I tak nampak process memotong.

Sharp 6.10pm on the dot my baby was delivered by Dr. Jaswant. The first cry I heard from him, I myself nangis. Dr. Ajit lap-lap air mata I then told me my baby is a darling. Kecik tapi panjang

While the nurse was cleaning my baby, Dr. Jaswant was stitching me up. Oh I baru tau rupanya dah takde aksi-aksi ngeri memotong dengan pisau tajam ek? Derang skang nie guna laser. Apa ntah, I tatau camner process sebenar. Then jahit pon dalam kulit so dah bila dah sembuh, takde parut. Hebat ek teknologi skang nie.

Ok so back to the baby.

Rafael weighed 2.310kg and lenght dia 50cm. Alhamdulillah yang selama nie I risaukan tak terjadik pon. Remember how worried I was if he had to be put in the incubator? Takyah pon. Dr kata baby sehat.

Wednesday, both mama and baby was discharged. Now my life has made a 360 degree spin.

Mama’s handsome boy
