Breast Feeding Support Unit and Aqleena's Weight

Pagi tadi pegi kelas kat Breast Feeding Suport Unit, RWH. I was referred to this unit sebab masa nak discharge dari hospital hari tu, saya ada breastfeeding problem. Rasa sakit masa feed Aqleena and it's sored, berdarah lagi! For couple days after discharged from hospital tu, just guna pump aje la..not so bad...

Actually, kelas yang saya attend tadi, bukan la kelas yang macam saya bayangkan. It was a one to one session, whereby a lactation consultant talking to a mum with a baby. Dia bagi tgk video and kita chat pasal teknik2 yang betul, supaya baby dapat suck to the maximum and mum tak rasa sakit. Coming friday ni mungkin kena pegi lagi...sebab tadi Aqleena tido jerrr tadi...so dia tak dapat tunjukkan practical untuk session kedua.

Okeh, masa kat kelas tu tadi, while saya tgk video..midwive amik Aqleena, untuk pegi timbang. We were so surprise sebab Aqleena put on weight more than what we expected. Newborn baby biasanya akan lost 10% from their birth weight and gain back in 2 weeks time. Tapi Aqleena did so well, when she only lost 5% on the day we discharged from hospital, and hari ni berat dia dah 3.2kg. She is exceeding her birth weight not even in 2 weeks. Syabbas betty!

Tremendous Birthday Gift from God!

I would like to remark this as the tremendous birthday gift in my life..our 'Shahmeen Aqleena'. Syukur Alhamdulillah semua nya dah selamat. Macam tak percaya i have my Shahmeen Aqleena in my arm earlier than expected due date, which supposedly on this coming sunday 19th July 2009. Aqleena born 11 days earlier (8th July 2009 - 6 days after my birthday).

Sebelum Aqleena lahir, saya mmg dah beberapa hari mengulang ke hospital due to my HBP untuk pregnancy day stay, start from 3rd July 09 (friday). Following monday and tuesday pun pegi juga lagi. Tapi on tuesday morning tu (7th July 09), saya dapat show, which was saya pun quite uncertain (is that a show or bukan?). Sampai hospital, saya bagitau midwive pasal show yang keluar tu..but then midwive cakap, nanti dia bagitau doctor. So saya pun buat treatment macam biasa sampai laaa ke petang. Takde rasa sakit pun..cuma rasa tighten yang kuat dari biasa.

Petang bila dah habis treatment..doctor datang check. Saya bagitau doctor and she confirmed that i have dilated 2cm. yahooooooooooooooooooo! Rasa seronok sangat masa tu sebab baby dah nak lahir anytime soon.

Around pukul 3pm macam tu, saya balik. Rezan fetch macam biasa, ntah kenapa hari tu saya taknak drive. Malam pukul 7, rasa tightening yang lagi kuat and semakin kerap, and it last for 40-50 seconds. uishhhhhh..dalam hati cakap 'beranak ke aku malam ni??? ini ke sakit nak beranak????' Pukul 11 malam ada rasa sakit sikit, macam senggugut yang very mild. Masa ni dah call hospital twice..but diorang tak kasi datang lagi. Pukul 12 malam call hospital lagi. Kali ni saya berkeras cakap nak datang hospital juga, sebab its was only me and rezan at home, and this is our first time. We totally do not know weather or not i'm in labour.

Sampai hospital, diorang buat Cardiotocography (CTG) untuk pick-up baby heart beat as well as contraction. Memang ada contraction dah masa ni, cuma saya belum rasa sakit. Saya and rezan bermalam kat hospital malam tu. Midwive yang jaga saya malam tu, nama nyer Racheal..sungguh comel and baik!

Esoknye..pukul 8 pagi..midwive tukar shift. Kali ni Suzanne pulak on duty. Tinggi lampai orang nyer and sangat lemah lembut, cantik pulak tu! So Zuzanne check, dia kata baru dilate 3 cm!! haperrrrrrrrrrrrrr??????????? punya laaa lama baru 3 cm. So Suzanne bagi option samada nak break water or nak tunggu (which is kalau tunggu naturally mgkn amik masa more than 24 hours). Saya masa tu nak semuanya settle cepat, so saya cakap..pecahkan aje!

Lepas water broke..bermula laa fasa sakit tuhhhhhhhhh!! hadeiiiiiiiii memang takleh tahan. Sakit yang tak boleh saya nak ungkap dengan kata2. Lepas sejam lebih menahan sakit, saya minta drug, diorang bagi gas. Gas tu macam tak working on me. Saya mintak yang lagi kuat, diorang bagi pentadine. So dapat la bertahan sikit. Lepas lebih kurang 3 jam lebih bersabung nyawa...lahir laaa puteri kami..Shahmeen Aqleena bte Sheikh Abdul Rezan @1.25pm @ 2.945kg @ Royal Women Hospital, Randwick NSW, Australia.

Was my birthday..

It was my birthday yesterday (2nd July), yang tah haper2. Infact, sebelum tuu, saya tak ingat pun my birthday was coming, sampai laa satu hari rezan tanya 'u nak apa for your birthday?' Banyak benda yang nak dipikir dalam kepala ni lately and mungkin juga to excited menunggu this little one to come out. Sebenarnye nak tulis pasal my birthday ni semalam, but I didn't managed to do so, i was running here and there....

I am actually on sick leave this whole week, from monday to friday (today)...but i dont understand what made me unsettled, rasa macam busy sesangat. Owwhh..sick leave tu..pasal high blood presure yang tetiba jerr elevated started from 22 June baru ni. I was doing very well sebelum ni, kalau tak caya..mehh la tgk my yellow card nii..all recorded there. Hamba allah yang suka suki je bagi stress kat saya tuuu...ingat sikit lahh...dia bukan takde anak..esok2 tuhan balas pulak kat dia. Apa2 jadi on me and this baby...you will hell responsible yerr!

So because of the sickness..my life suddenly became haywire. Asik laa mengulang ke GP and hospital. Tu yang busy sesangat tuu. And once in a while, saya pop-up juga ke office..kesian kat my superior..she is a nice lady...sebelum ni planned nak keje sampai 10 July before i go on maternity leave. Tetiba jadi camni pulakk..so saya rasa macam tak baik pulakk tinggalkan keje camtu jerr..kena laa ada handover kan... (sementara masih larat hehehe)..

Rabu lepas 1/7/09, early in the morning, pegi check BP. Camtu gak laaa..takmo turun2. Then suddenly in the afternoon, my GP called, suruh datang for blood test hari khamis (2/7/09). Uitttt masa tuu dah rasa takut dahh. So pagi2 tuu pegi laaa amik darah. The lady yang tukang amik darah tu was so sweet..heheheh masa dia tulis my DOB kat tabung darah tuu...dia cakap 'it's your birthday today!'

Blood test result came out this morning. So again, saya pegi ke GP. Masuk je bilik Dr. Judith, dia cakap, 'I have to send you to hospital' hahh!!! Something abnormal with my liver function because of this High BP..ayokkkkkk!!! So pegi laaa saya ke hospital hari nii...dari pagi sampaii ke malam, stay kat hospital. Last2, dia bagi balik, tapi monday kena datang lagii ke sana, utk repeat hari ni punya procedure. Hadeiiiiii...dah hujung2 pregnancy niii baru timbul macam2 yerr..

Hari nii..diorang keluarkan lagi medical certificate. Kali ni covering from coming monday 6 july sampai 19 july, huhhhhh..terasa macam lama tuhhhh, sebab saya ni bukan jenis yang betah kat rumah, boring gilerrrr!!

What a day.... :(
