My 3rd Birth Story

Alhamdulillah, I dah selamat melahirkan anak ketiga pada 29 June 2016 yang lepas. Tarikh EDD mengikut kiraan haid patutnya pada 20 July 2016 (Genap 40 weeks). But, since I already had two previous Emergency Cesarean, we scheduled the 3rd operation on the 8th July, Friday which will be the 3rd day of Syawal. Dengan niat, I dapat habiskan berpuasa seterusnya dapat beraya sekejap sebelum berpantang. Date scheduled operation tu patutnya pada 38 minggu 2 hari.

Tapi, kita kan merancang, Allah yg menentukannya. Walaupun dah plan untuk elective cesarean operation kali ni, I still have to go through the labor process jugak! Oh sayang nya Allah pada diriku, dapat lagi merasa sakitnya contraction (walaupun tak lama kali ni), dapat jugakla menghapuskan dosa2 kecilku..mudah mudahan.

Al kisahnya mcm ni...

28 June- Selasa
Already on my day 2 of medical leave. So I stayed at my parents' in Penang. Habiskan berpuasa di Penang dan get ready for delivery.  I cook spaghetti bolognese for berbuka. I mintak ayah carikan air tebu or air kelapa utk berbuka sebab tiba2 je rasa teringin sangat nak minum either one of it. masa ni husband dah balik ke Perak. I stayed at my parents' with Ilyaas and Imani.
I repeatedly went to toilet for big business about 5 times on this day.

29 June- Rabu
Bangun sahur as usual. Mak cook something simple sebab gas habis. I eat a lot, tambah 2 kali waktu sahur. After sahur, went to loo again for big business. Waited for mak to go to work and I continued my sleep. At 9.30ish am, feel like sakit perut memulas. I know it might be contraction but I ignored it coz still sleepy. At 10am, Imani woke me up and I still have the sakit perut. Ignore lagi sbb dari yesterday asyik pergi toilet. Went to toilet to give bath to Imani and suddenly I felt something running in between my legs. Clear water! Oh, this must be my amniotic fluid! terus jerit panggil my dad but he was not around at that time. I quickly gave bath to Imani and tried to call my husband. He's not picking up the phone. Called my mum and told her immediately. Dad returned home and got panicked after I told him that my water bag already leaking and need to go to hospital soon. Called department's secretary to ask her to inform my husband since I can't reach his phone.
Went to loo one last time for big business before going to hospital.
At 11am something, we went to KPJ BM. Straight to emergency department.
Near 12pm, I was wheeled to labor room. Husband started his journey back to Penang.
change uniform hospital.
Did CTG. contraction quite strong by now.
Insert urine bag tube.
Insert line on my left hand. So sakit!
Meet anesthetist
Signed all the needed documents.
Change bed.
Strolled to OT. saw my mum on my way to OT. She kissed my forehead.
I started shivering.
Get half body bius. Not so sakit like inserting the line earlier. Surprisingly sebab everybody told me it is sakit.
They (doctors and nurses) setting up the operation.
Asked me few questions and they began.
Can smell fire and blood and flesh. My own blood and flesh.
Smell hangit too.
Nurses pressing my tulang rangka to pull out baby.
Baby cried! I said Alhamdulillah. Anes was with me all the way.
This time around, I requested to bring along my spectacles to OT.
So that I can wear it during skin to skin contact.
They put my spectacle on me and gave me the baby.
So putih and red!
Alhamdulillah...

I am now a mother of three children. Masha Allah...Syukur ...

Biskut Coco Crunch

Cuti Nuzul Quran untuk Ramadhan 2016 jatuh pada hari rabu. 

Tengah2 minggu, jadi kami tak plan nak ke mana-mana pun. 

Pagi I kemas pelbagai jenis bag. Bag utk bawa ke hospital, bag baby utk masuk OT nanti, beg baju raya, beg extended stay at my parents' house, toys and buku anak2 untuk di bawa balik ke my parents' house...Agak serabut sebab too many to pack and I jadi pening what to bring what not to bring. Walaupun list dah buat panjang2.. 

After packing, I cooked for kids' lunch. Ayam masak kicap je. And also buat kari to frozen kan. 

By lunch time, bagi anak2 makan and ajak husband keluar kejap. Am going to make biskut raya pulak after Zuhur to kill the time. hahha boring. nak membaca malas now. 

Biskut yg I buat kali ni is Biskut Coco Crunch. I rasa ni kali kedua I buat, last yr ada buat jugak, but I did not share the recipe sebab last yr we had a big lost in our family masa early Ramadhan.

KICKME Apps untuk rekod pergerakan baby dalam perut

Bila pregnant, masuk 3rd trimester (7 months and beyond), nurse/doctor will ask us to start kira pergerakan baby dalam perut. 

Masa 1st and 2nd pregnancy, I kira manually, means bila rasa baby gerak, take note. Kadang2 terlupa jugak. Especially bila busy sgt dekat office (masa anak sulung la). Sometime, terus catat dalam buku rekod kehamilan tu, but that means I kena always bawa buku rekod kehamilan ke mana-mana je.

Untuk 3rd baby, baru tergerak hati untuk search apps yg suitable for this kind of situation. Kalau tak, macam tak ingat nak monitor berapa banyak baby gerak and I don't want to bring my pink book everywhere in my handbag (not yet!). 

So, I have been using this KICKME Apps since 8 weeks ago. 

Lebih mudah la sebab kita selalu bawa hp ke mana-mana je. 

Setiap kali rasa baby kicking, terus rekod dalam apps ni. 

Pengalaman Root Canal Treament sewaktu pregnant

For the last three weeks, I mengalami sakit gigi yang sgt tak selesa. 

Ianya bermula dari bengkak pada gusi wisdom tooth. I memang ada wisdom tooth yg baring dan belum dibuang lagi. Pernah dah sakit sebelum ni, just before I knew that I am pregnant. Citer original kat sini. At the same time masa sakit gigi tu, I kena sinus. Macam selesema, with lots of kahak. 

Pada awalnya, I pergi klinik panel biasa because I thought it was tonsil infection.Doc bagi mouth gargle je coz mmg tak nampak tonsil bengkak, but some putih2 dekat gusi like infections, he said. 

Few days later, sakit tu belum hilang. So, I asked my dentist friend (Dr Rabiah who is furthering her PhD in Forensic Dentistry in Adelaide Uni, Australia) about my condition. With her suggestion, I knew it's not related to my tonsil, but my wisdom tooth. So, cepat2 I pergi jumpa local dentist. 

So, it comes out that my gusi that covers my wisdom tooth was bitten by my upper back tooth coz the above gusi tengah bengkak (at this time, belum tahu reason kenapa gusi atas bengkak). 

Doc do some scaling, and prescribed me with Amoxicillin Antibiotics which is safe for pregnant lady While the bitten gusi dah baik, I feel another painful feeling dekat my geraham belah atas pulak.

Kisah Anak-anak

Assalamualaikum,

Fuuuuhhhhh... cari mood nak menaip kat sini. Ada baaaannnyyyaaakkkkk sangat nak citer kat blog, tapi tak sempat :(
Alasan lama tp itu benar. Nak tunggu kerja habis, mmg tidak akan habis. So, let's take a break from any science. Kita menulis pasal kehidupan pulak.

Well bila sebut kehidupan, mestilah anak-anak Ilyaas, Imani dan baby IH3 yg jadi keutamaan dalam hidup I.

Ilyaas baru je balik dari lawatan sekolah ke TLDM Lumut. ni merupakan his second school trip. Last yr (4yo), dia dah pernah follow one day trip ke Ipoh dengan Tabika Kemas.
Nak kata I risau nak lepaskan dia tu, tak la sangat. Sebab mungkin I mmg jenis mak2 yg tak la fanatik sgt worry kat anak tu. Dah terbiasa kot.
After all, Ilyaas agak pandai jaga diri sendiri.
I bekalkan dia biskut chipsmore, air kotak, air kosong and roti sandwich telur.
Alhamdulillah, semuanya habis.

Minggu sebelum lawatan, dia ada exam or penilaian di sekolah. 

Setiap malam kena study and buat revision. 

Dari segi subjek, I rasa dia ok semua kecuali English! 

Waaaaa, payah sikit nak pujuk dia hafal vocab dalam English. 

Apatah lagi nak ingat ejaan. 

Maths for additional dia dah ok, tapi minus dia belum betul2 grasp lagi. 

But I am so proud of him on the Malay reading. Ilyaas dah lancar membaca BM. 

Satu buku cerita dia dah boleh habiskan sendiri. 

Siap take over baca buku cerita malam2 untuk adik Imani. 

Harini pon dia bawa buku cerita Nabi Yunus dan Ikan Nun ke sekolah, nak baca dengan kawan2. 

By the way, Ilyaas dah register untuk darjah 1 di sekolah berdekatan rumah kitaorg. Dia orang ke -80 yg register darjah 1 utk tahun 2018. 

Imani pulak, makin manja dengan I. makin dekat nak bersalin, menjadi2 kemanjaannya. 

Kadang2 layan jugak la but sometimes I am too tired, kesian dia. 

Imani sgt emosi. 

Dia tak suka org tolong dia buat kerja. 

Contohnya smlm nak kemas baju dalam almari baru. I amik hanger, dan tlg hang kan gown dia. Dia punya la marah, menangis2 sebab dia tak nak gown tu di gantung. Lepas tu, mula dia buat perangai, sampai ludah air liur kat gown tu. Adooooiiii, rasa nak marah sgt kat dia. Tapi control jugak, walaupun mulut membebel. I biarkan je dia nangis, I gi kemas almari Ilyaas dulu. Mujur la Ilyaas jadi very easy to handle nowadays. 

Lama2 baru Imani stop nangis and dengar cakap. Tp dia ni payah sikit nak say Sorry and Thank You! Harap sgt la dapat terapkan 5 magic words dalam diri anak-anak ni sejak dari kecik.

Kat sekolah Imani good girl ..tu yang teacher dia selalu cakap.

So cute. Just like me! ahahahahha

IH3

This little baby dalam perut, kadang2 buat umi ngn ayah panic jugak la. 

Berapa kali dah braxton hicks. semalam constant rasa cramp. mujur bila baring nak tidur, cramp hilang. Dapat tidur nyenyak lagi. 

Movements dia pon kuat. Biasanya dah rasa nak terkencing je setiap kali IH3 berpusing2. 

Last week ada buat 3D scan dkt KPJ BM. Muka sama macam Kak Imani :D 

hahahahahah...

Berat last week was 1.5kg. Umi harap baby dpt gain weight banyak2 ye...

Date untuk czer dah tetap...tak sabar nak jumpa baby, tp umi takut..:d 

Ok tu je la dulu hari ni. hari lain kita update pasal kehidupan lagi.

Some tummy pictures

27 Weeks

28 Weeks

No tummy. only fat cheeks

One happy family at baby IH3 check up at 29 weeks

Yesterday, 30weeks

at UTP Quality Day where le hub receive his award :)

Rezeki baby

Ending my trimester 2 already, sigh...

I'm going to 28 weeks next week. 

Pejam celik je dah nak kena mengisi chart pergerakan baby. 

Wah...so soon InsyaAllah the new family member will be arriving. 

Rasa mcm cepat sangat masa berlalu untuk pregnancy ketiga ni. Tak banyak yg sempat di catatkan dalam blog ni.. Kesian baby IH3.. tp umi keeps all the medical record etc. 

Untuk IH3 ni, umi check up sampai 6 bulan lebih di klinik kesihatan and at the same time buat check up dengan Dr Geetha di Hospital Pantai Manjung. But after this, umi nak mintak refer ke doktor di Penang, sebab umi plan nak bersalin di Penang. tapi kita plan je mana la tau terberanak kat Perak ni jugak.. 

Macam biasa, every pregnancy, perut umi memang lah tak berapa nak nampak sangat. 

Kesian jugak kat diri sendiri sbb bila naik LRT, orang tak berapa nak realize . 

Ni masa 6 months plus. 

Ramai ingat baru 4 months. 

Tapi IH3 kat dalam membesar ikut size yg normal, itu paling penting. Perut umi besar mana pon x kisah, janji anak di dalam sizenya bertambah seiring usia kandungan. 

Last check up masa 6 bulan, IH3 was 800g. 

Esok check up lagi untuk minum air gula, 

kalau doc scan dapat la tgk skrg IH3 dah 1 kilo lebih ke belum. 

Baju2 dari abang Ilyaas and Kak Imani yg elok lagi, umi dah asingkan untuk IH3. 

Baju2 baru pon dah mula beli sikit2. 

Minggu depan ingat nak mula mencari dengan serius barang2 untuk IH3. 

Bath tub stand pon dh beli coz aritu ada sale dekat Tesco , dapat RM99 je from original price Rm133. 

Kali ni mmg ready for czer so bath stand is really needed. No more tunduk2 untuk mandikan baby. 

changing table pon akan diusahkan cari, coz umi really really needs it. 

Sekarang ni IH3 ada skala movement dia. Agak kuat bergerak kalau umi kuat makan. 

Nanti update lagi ...

20weeks inside and weird cravings

We are now on our 20th weeks on this pregnancy. Tak ada words lain boleh describe, but Alhamdulillah. 

I've started feeling my baby's movement on the 18th week. Was worried a bit since I felt Ilyaas' at week 17 and Imani's at week 15 going 16. It's ok, setiap anak mesti berbeza-beza but I'm sure this little fella inside, gonna be as active as the brother and sister. 

We knew the gender since week 16 lagi. After all, I can guest since the beginning based on my alahan, trend pregnancy compared to my previous two. I was lucky to have a boy and a girl before this, so I can easily detect this one is a boy or a girl. Nanti la kita share gender baby ok, now let's stay surprise! 

I've gained around 4 kg throughout this 5 months pregnancy. I used to checked up at klinik kesihatan but since turning into 5 months already, both husband and me decided to just check up at the hospital that we plan to deliver this baby. Since I've went through two previous emergency cesarean, so, this 3rd one definitely kena cesarean jugak la. I don't mind actually, biarlah apa orang nak cakap, this is my bahagian and I am more than lucky Allah pinjamkan my rahim to deliver these beautiful babies to the Earth. 

So we went for check up last week with InsyaAllah the doctor who is going to operate me. 

My baby's weight is 340g and the size is equivalent to 19-21weeks. Also listen to the heart beat. 

Alhamdulillah everything looks ok. 

The doctor also scheduled a detail scan in another two weeks time.

By the way, throughout this pregnancy I have a weird craving. Which is to go back to places where I had stayed for sometime before this. 

One of them is definitely Perth. and I miss all the food in Perth. 

I feel very sensitive bila ada orang dpt pergi Perth while I can't afford it yet:D

Lepas tu my husband dapat work attachment in Kuching for few days, I feel like following him, coz I can eat mee kolok in Kuching. I used to stay in Sarawak for a year so maybe that's the reason. 

Apart from that, craving for food semua tu tak ada sangat la. My food craving is food yg ada kat Perth and Sarawak je. Payah betul. 

Kulit muka I pun jadi kering and mengelupas. I've tried to change the facial wash, tak berapa nak menjadi. So, I used banana soap mcm tradisional way, so far berkesan la jugak. I regularly spray thermal water if rasa muka kering. 

I easily feel tired but approaching 5 months ni, rasa a bit fresh. But kalau overwork, still malam cepat ngantuk, then feel a bit dizzy.. Perut pon dh nampak but lots of people say perut kecik. It's ok la, I am tall, so my perut rarely seen until about 7m. 

Okla, just a journal note down for future reference.=) 

*will need to update list barang baby*

My 3rd Pregnancy-14+ weeks

Assalamualaikum,

Entry pertama untuk kandungan ketiga ini. This will be my own record, or pregnancy journey. Sama adil untuk abg Ilyaas and kakak Imani, adik IH3 pon boleh baca nnt bila dah reti google blog umi..

Alhamdulillah, dapat tahu mengandung at Week 4, masa tu husband tengah kursus dekat Le Meridean KL. I dgn anak2 ikut. saja2 beli test kit untuk cuba2 test sbb usually mmg tak regular pon. First time test hari Jumaat, morning after breakfast.

Quickly appear the second purple line, walaupun tak berapa terang.
Syukur sangat2 sbb I memang dah lama mengidam nak pregnant lagi.
Inform husband yg baru solat Dhuha.
He quickly snap gambar test line tu dan send to his mother aka my mil la.
Ok, confirm husband pon excited this time around :D
no more drama like before.hahah.

No wonder dok rasa bloating je before that. Since then, I just makan acid folic and continue life as usual. Sometime, terlupa tengah pregnant, so dukung Imani  yg dah berat tu. Even dukung Ilyaas pon pernah sbb nak memujuk anak teruna sorang tu..

Dalam tempoh awal2 pregnant, mual and loya mmg ada. But I did not vomit back all the food. Instead, muntah angin je kata orang tua.
Dalam tempoh tersebut jugak kami pindah rumah.
Ya Allah, mmg penat sgt2 time pindah2 rumah n knowing I am pregnant at very early stage.
Kesian my husband terpaksa angkat berat2 sorang2.
I did whatever yg termampu je.
Itupun beberapa kali ada bleeding until week 9 mcm tu ada show skit2.

At week 6, I pergi clinic untuk confirmkan pregnancy. After all rasa pain dekat previous scars.
Klinik pertama scan, ckp no sac. Maybe I tak pregnant. Waaaa nangis sorang2 masa tu. I have loved this little baby inside me tibe2 doc cakap macam tu. Husband pulak tgh field work. I was driving alone mmg tak tenang langsung.
Petang tu, repeat pergi different clinic. Masa ni, dah call my mum and she is also worried, in case ectopic pregnancy or something else. An old doctor, male, scan. He said don't worry, he can see the sac. He do urine test untuk check in case ada infection sebab dok rasa painful. Luckily tak de pain, it just that my scars are now being stretch due to the growing little fella inside.
For you sayang, sakit2 pon umi bear jugak la.

Then, next week, husband ajak check dekat O&G pakar di Ipoh. so we went there, doc check alhamdulillah dah nampak heart beat at Week 7. beeping mcm kelip2 dalam scanner tu.
Week 7 to Week 8, husband went to Indonesia for a week. Untuk work assignment. Has been a tough week, handling the elder two with mual2 ... Alhamdulillah, we made it!

Week 10, bukak buku pink. Scan with doctor alhamdulillah semua nampak ok. Baby ikut size.
Week 11. Minum air gula coz ada family line with diabetis.
Week 14, berat umi naik 1.1kg from first check up Week 10. Kena KIV for berat naik berlebihan.
Hoho. perut dah nampak but boleh cover lagi , badan getting heavier, cannot stand for so long.
Loya is getting away. Kaki krem dah beberapa kali. lenguh paha setiap hari.

Tak kisah la apapun ketidak selesaan ini, moga baby umi sihat membesar sempurna mental fizikal di dalam rahim umi ....love you before you are here lagi. be strong , sem ni umi banyak kelas kena ajar, 90 students will be sitting in front of u every time lecture. Semoga berkat mengajar anak2 orang, anak2 umi jadi pandai...Insya Allah..

till then, a long entry without picture coz I just don;t know which picture to put. mmg tak pernah letak gambar scan baby dekat public.
