There are delivery nurse and two doctors (male and female) help me to deliver. The delivery session started around 10 pm.

“Mama kalau sakit macam mau berak, teran ah”

The first teran-meneran tidak berjaya…

“Mama cuba lagi, jangan ko kasi KIMUT ko punya pan***!, nanti sayang saja ko teran! Buang tenaga! “

Then the pain in the ass did strikes again..

I inhale and teran….but… macam mau terputus nafas…

“Mama, kalau mau teran jangan keluar suara…tidak betul tu cara”

I try again.. and the nurse said…

“Okey, mama, bagus mama.. nampak dahi  sudah. Teran lagi mama…”

Huuuhhhh…

“Curi nafas mama jangan ko berenti… tingu heartbeat baby ko mau lemah sudah”

Oh gosh… I took a few second break and say my prayer. God please help me. With a lot of courage and the pain down there especially in the ass… saya teran sekuat hati…

“Yes mama nampak telinga suda, teran lagi mama sikit lagi.. Pegang tu handle katil and tolak kaki pigi bawah, jangan silap”

Teran lagi and suddenly I feel the pain lessen..

“mama.. cuba ko teran pendek… “

Brushhhh…. nah sana la sa rasa sangat lega.. perut terus rasa kempis

…and yes.. our princess finally out at 10.30 pm… the nurse placed our princess on my chest.. Punya mahal tu perasaan.. Terus sa peluk2 and kiss my princess. The nurse continue her job to jahit down there.. Dengan paha yang masih kangkang dan shivering…. I praise to God.. everything went well. Mummy and daughter doing fine..

Both of us transferred to Wad Kenanga 2 at 4.oo am… And my husband and parents in laws visited me at 7 am..

And my husband say  ” Thank You, T”. Kissing me on my cheek.

Mummy and baby

With Nenek KK.. 7 hours young.

*** Phew what a long giving  birth story.. he he he ..

Gushhhhhhhhhhhh!…Rushhhhhhhhhh! Ah sa terkencing? I stand up and tadaaaaa… it was a large gush of blood on the floor… Flowing like a water tap from down there. I called Ben, he rushed to the room and he was in shock when seeing me with the blood. He get dressed and get our bag and left to Hospital. I don’t have to get dress properly. A sarung and a jacket only. 

While on the way to HK, Ben hold my hand and try to calm me down. But seriously, I did not feel any pain but I’m worried about the blood.. Its wetting my MIL car seat.. Mungkin boleh banjir o.. My heart say a prayer hope everything will be okey. Arrived at HK, and Ben parked the car but I don’t think I can make a way to the lobby as the blood non stop flowing.  I asked Ben to get a wheelchair and while me standing up beside the car. Bikin bimbang betul oh..tu darah still flowing..banyak lagi tu… Mesti orang pun tekejut bila nampak kesan darah di parking lot… *aiya lupa ambil gambar pula*.

Ben back with a wheelchair and we went in straight to Bilik Penilaian (again). Sa tidak peduli suda sama tu darah yang menitik di lantai…. They asked the same question. A young Indian male doctor come to my bed and ask me to kangkang.. (kali ini inda malu suda) Lol.. Blood still flowing. The doctor examine me and confirmed that I was 3 cm dilated.  And once again I was on CTG machine and for now I can’t stand laying down on the bed.. tapi di kuatkan juga.. Terpaksa kasi bengkok-bengkok badan menahan sakit pinggang.. While me in pain I called my mum that I was in HK. Habis sa kontrol suara menahan sakit. Then I was sent to Wad Kenanga 1, Bilik 1.

At Bilik 1, next to my bed was a mother of two. She tell me..”kalau anak pertama memang lambat sikit, bawa kan banyak berjalan, mungkin besok baru ko bersalin lagi pun baru 3cm kan?”.. Seriously?! Ahhh.. I was about to lay on my bed …and a veryyyyy sharp pain strikes. It was a real pain on my back…I close my eyes..I close my mouth and hold the bed handle tightly…. I went to the corridor and sat down on the chair… Whenever the pain strikes I will clutch my handphone tightly and keep on rubbing my back… Uhh.. The pain is now real made me crazy.. Seram sejuk satu badan.. I tried to relax and went to the toilet to pee.. but instead peeing.. I was sitting on the toilet bowl crying.. menahan sakit. Balik2 saya pigi tandas …menahan sakit.. menangis air mata darah pun tiada guna. I just don’t want to call the doctor early.. Takut kecewa.. nanti dia saluk and cakap… “mama belum sampai bukaan lagi.. kena tunggu lagi.. ” bukan bikin stress ka tu?

I keep on wandering around in the ward…sambil genggam tangan menahan sakit… And I don’t think I can bear the pain anymore. Tu sakit macam dalam masa satu minit akan datang balik..  Went to my bed and I pressed the red emergency button.. A young male doctor came and took his trolley…checking down there and asked me whether my water has broken.. I think it was broken earlier this evening. Together with the blood. “Nurse, it’s 7cm, send her to the labor room”. So fast, not even reaching 1 hour.. I was dilated to 7cm. Thanks God!!! Praise to God!

While the nurses pushed my bed to labor room, we did some chit chat. The nurse say “sabar ah mama, kalau anak pertama  7cm mungkin tengah malam baru ko teberanak ni” Sabar sajaaa ah“. Kalau sakit jangan ko teran..  In the labor room, I no need to wait because room has earlier booked . I was placed at Bilik 16. I can hear a new baby cry, a nurses shouting giving support to the mama to teran and a mummy meneran.. Huh such a stressing environment.. Once again the nurse set the CTG machine on my belly.. Odoi dogo rasa tidak selesa pula ada benda melekat di perut dengan contraction yang semakin sakit dan tidak ketahanan. I bit the hospital blanket and close my eyes. Tuhan saja yang tahu macam mana kesakitan yang saya rasa.. Now, I feel there are so much pressure on the anal.. Macam ada tahi keras mau keluar.. But still I did not call the doctor.. As I said, I don’t want to disappointed to be informed that the opening has not enough yet to welcome the baby…  Dengan semangat juang, I just go with the pain.. tahan saja.. until at one stage I really can’t stand the pain together with a strong pressure on the belly. Macam baby kicking from inside tidak kesabaran mau keluar…. Then that time… I pressed the red emergency button…

“Kenapa mama?Rasa mau teberak suda?. I nodded. Took his trolley and checked down there…Yes boleh sudah mama..

We decided to do shopping at Wisma Merdeka. While wandering at WM, orang yang limpas2 sempat jeling2 perut saya ni.. Apa hal? Tidak pernah nampak orang pregnant ka? We went to 2nd floor, tiba-tiba rasa seram sejuk seluruh badan…. Uhhh the backache is now back and its pain was double compared to the yesterday’s. But still, it bearable. We had lunch and I had a Milo ping. I say to my mum.. “ ma, ini minuman sejuk sa last sebelum sa beranak“.. “mm iya… pas branak 1 bulan tu jangan minum air sejuk” my mum say..

While waiting my sister buying her stuffs at Watson, an auntie approached us.. “ai macam ko mau teberanak suda tau sa nampak ni“.. My mum informed her that my due date is next week. I saw my mum start panicking and ask me to call Ben to fetch me up.. Bagus ko call laki ko.. macam tidak boleh tunggu suda ko ni.. perut ko mau jatuh suda sa nampak.. nanti ko “obubusan” susah o.. I instead refused and suggesting them to lepak at Tg. Aru while waiting my bro’s flight arrive at 3.30 pm.

The picture of me on the morning before I giving birth

Arrived at Tg. Aru and having jagung, satay, mangga for snack… he he… My mum once again asked me to call Ben to fetch me. And by the time my mum say that, huh…. another version of pain strikes…This time i can elaborate the pain yang bikin tarik rambut punya.. But main tahan saja lah.. sa tidak mau my mum risau. 

I called Ben to fetch me.. Sebab mmg tidak tahan suda. He arrived at 3.00 pm  but too bad, on the way home banyak pula singgah because my parent in law pun ikut… We drop by at Jalan Pantai for roti kawin and Tong Hing for a bread. I asked Ben to speed up and when the pain strikes I hold the car seat tightly and bitting my lips.. Again macam mau teberak….

Arrived home,  I quickly went to the toilet. Mau poop.. And memang ada poop pun… So I was thinking that the pain I was experienced while on the way home just now is want-to-poop pain.. He he.. I was about to laying down on the bed and suddenly…………To be continued …

cont from .. Giving Birth Story Part 1

The nurse asked me to lay on bed and I was asked many question. Some of them … Ada air pecah? Ada pendarahan? Mana yang sakit? Ada sakit perut? Bila lagi ko rasa sakit? and etc.. I said I had back pain and my belly keep on hardening and she ask me to wait for the doctor to check me up.The nurse check my blood pressure and went away. And a mid 40s male Indian doctor approached my bed. He asked a similar questions.

Then he say he want to check down there… What? Mau saluk-saluk? I remember my sister say “saya paling malas kena saluk balik2 o.. sandi bah “. Gosh! As a first timer… I’m a bit shy to let the doctor see the private part.. Huh huh.. Tutup muka mula. But I had no choice. Buka saja la.. tu paha mau kangkang pun shivering bah.. Memang malu bah. The doctor say… sorry ya puan.. and starting to saluk down there.. No opening yet he says. Huh but how come my backache getting strong and my belly still hard as rock. He checked my belly and once again he confirmed that baby’s head not fully engaged yet. The baby head is only on position -4.  Huh weird…  the nurse who checked me on my 38 weeks at KKIA confirmed that baby head has engaged.

The nurse asked me to shift to another bed near the CTG machine ( a device that record baby’s heartbeat and uterine contraction). Was laying on the bed for about 15-20 minutes and I was entertained by the buutt buuuuutt sound of baby’s heartbeat…   While lying on the bed I saw more mummy are coming in. I spotted a very young non local mother (I bet her age is 17-19)..walking here and there. I guess she is in really pain but she did not call the doctor ’till she was crying and the nurse approached her and ask doctor to check her.. Uh 7cm dilated and she was straight away sent to the labor room. Uh so fast?!

The male Indian doctor came and check on the baby’s heart beat printing and he say.. ooo Reactive. Good! Then another female Chinese doctor do an ultrasound but I did not see the ultrasound printing. She keep them in the file. All the doctors were busy writing report and a nurse come to me and say.. “mama, buli ganti baju suda. Ko buli balik“. Oh? That all? I was like ..huh bikin penat ja pigi hospital… kena saluk free lagi .. But I guess better than sorry bah kan. Finally I was discharged at 4.20 am.. Huh.. The nurse asked me to come back if I experience any pain.

So, I guess it was a false labor sign..

Ben drove home and suddenly the backache lessen. I have my nap and woke up at 10 am without any back pain but hardening belly. Took my shower, breakfast and prepare my self to go out with my mum and sister for a shopping. I don’t know but my instincts say that I’m going to deliver soon. So decided to go with my mum and sis to speed up the dilating process. They come to town to fetch my brother who come back from Sarawak. Yay!

To be continued…..

Daddy and Mummy been busy since I say hi to the world. Since day 2 till my 10th days in this world they bring me to the clinic to monitor my jaundice. And thanks God my jaundice is getting better and the sister nurse tell my mummy that we don’t have to see them everyday anymore… Oh so thankful. So see you again ya nurse. You all been so  nice to us. And the best thing is my mummy don’t have to worried about me crying everyday when the sister in the lab poking my heel with needle to withdraw blood.

Huh do I look so much big girl already? On my 5th day, peoples been asking my mummy…. “berapa bulan suda?”. Wow seriously? Then my mummy say with a big smile… “baru 5 hari bah”.

Here baby Hazel Osundu Barendsen Estrop first few pictures gallery.

It started with a mild contraction on 11/05/12 at 12.00 ++ pm. The pain was like period cramps at my back and followed by constant hardening belly. It was hard as rock but I did not feel any pain on my belly but it was uncomfortable.  Went to pee and I spot a discharged on my panty. Whitish + greenish discharged. But I don’t bother them instead resting and  lying on bed and rubbing my back and belly.

At 4.30 pm the belly was still hard as rock. I get myself to the mirror and I’m in total shock because the belly’s shape was so round.. Bulat betul macam bola. The skin around my belly also hard and  segala urat-urat pun timbul. Told Ben about it and he suggested to go to the hospital to check. Just in case. I refused because there is no obvious sign that I’m going to deliver soon. No bloody show and water has not broken yet. I get myself busy by collecting laundry and wandering around the house. But.. the pain was still there and never disappear…. but its not getting intense. Still bearable.

Took my shower and having a mothers day simple dinner at home and watching TV. I just don’t want to think about the pain. But suddenly tranggggggg… another sharp pain on my belly… Main tahan saja ni.. Sempat lagi tweeting dan kawan2 di twitter suggest pigi hospital… But I’m still doubt whether to go or not to go. I wait for another sharp pain but none. So I decided to go to bed but I cannot sleep at all. Around 12.30, the sharp pain did strikes again. Without any delay I ask Ben (who still awake watching TV) to send me to Hospital Likas. He carry both mommy and baby bags and he drive me to hospital.

Inside the car, I cannot sit straight. Macam mau teberak pun ada.

Arrived at the hospital and went in straight to Bilik Penilaian at 2nd Floor. The nurse asked for my book and registered me in. She asked me to change my cloth to the pink hospital robe.

To be continued…..

Was discharged from Hospital Likas on 13th of May at 5.00 pm. Oh gosh… the labor pain is still there (of course). Jalan mau turun pigi lobi pun ambil masa. Whole body ached but I got to be strong. And I have to take care the jahitan down there because the nurse did say.. ” kalau jalan mesti kepit, kalau tidak pandai koyak balik“. Seriously scary kalau mau jahit balik o.

Yes as a new mommy many stuffs I need to learn. So I asked my mum and sister a lot. I’ve been texting my sisters at the labor room an hour giving birth to our princess. Some of the text.

” Buat masa ni jangan makan keras, nanti susah mau pigi tandas” and Yes for the first 7 days Ben cooked me a porridge and chicken soup with papaya. Pigi Tandas words real freak me out especially buang air besar. How? If the stool is hard? Susah mau teran cause takut jahitan koyak balik. But thanks God.. I don’t have any problem.

” Take only warm bath at noon time, don’t wash your head for the whole month (seriously?) and do not contact with cold water”. This is the must to prevent badan masuk  angin. In fact I have to take warm shower for the whole month of confinement period.  The important ingredients for the warm bath is dried “TAWAWO”  leaf. I bet many of you know this leaf right. I love the smells. Refreshing!  Thanks to my Kakak (my MIL maid) for the help. Dia tolong kasi mandi saya. Urut semua satu badan yang sakit. Heaven!  But..  I just cant stand with the sticky and hardening hair. Lemas. I contacted my mum and she say if I can’t really stand it  I can wash them but mesti cepat2 mau kasi kering and wash only on noon time. So on the 7th day of my confinement I washed my hair and have not yet wash it again.

“Cuci luka dengan air suam dan sabun Dettol supaya cepat kering“. And on the 5th day of confinement benang for the jahitan dalam telah tanggal  and I guess it was healed. But I still have to deal with perineum wound. Masih pedih2. As per my sister the wound take time to heal.

“Minum air suam sahaja”. Thanks God so far I don’t wish to drink cold/iced water. Tidak juga teringat2 mau minum minuman sejuk. My daily drink is hot milk and warm plain water. Drinking warm water is one of the easy way to eliminate darah beku .

Uhhhh…. I guess that all for now. Curi masa blogging while baby on la la land!

Hello there!

Yeah this is my first post as a new mummy. Giving birth to our bundle of joy, a baby girl on 12 May 2013 (6 days early from my EDD) at 10.30 pm at Hospital Likas through a normal delivery (it was priceless experience for me as a first time mommy).

It was priceless moment when the nurse put her on my chest.Cuddling, kissing her for the first time. All pain just gone and was in tears of joy. The nurse say “Congratulations! Baby Girl. 3.5kg huge baby”.. I miss that moment!

Thanks God everything went well despite all the unbearable pain. Thanks to husband, family and friends and all staffs of HK for the prayer, support and efforts.

Many stuff i want to share with you.. the contractions, the labor pain, my version of pantang and etc … but timing is not right at this moment. Malam jaga siang tidur.. ha ha ha..
