Danish Harith (7.12.2004)
Feeling of "uneasiness" started as early at 36 weeks. It is not the physical pains but rather emotional breakdowns. I wonder whether I am able to pull through smoothly. How will my little one be?... Whenever these thoughts haunt me, I quickly recite what I knew seeking a piece of mind and faith.
6.12.04(Monday),
5.30 pm: Routine check-up at KKH (37 weeks). Dr C. Chong was held up with something so another doc attended to me. My cervix has dilated 3 cm but I was puzzled why he fixed the appointment on 9.12.04 for the induced?
7.00 pm: Home sweet home. Pack my things and teach the children how to recite the prayers for the safety of Danish and me. My stomach feel so uneasy and suddenly I have the urge to pass my bowels. Well, I did but with extra cautions (Takut lain pulak yang keluar!)
8.00 pm Have my dinner. Lost count of how many times I pass urine. Can't sleep. I can feel the cramp but still mild enough. By 9 the children are fast asleep and hubby has gone to work. SMS sis MK to ease my "uneasiness". I notice some spotting and call KKH. Have a quick shower, call hubby and inform Minek of her tasks. Here I am by the roadside, waiting for a cab.
10.40 pm Reach KKH alone. The 32 labor suited are fully occupied. Full House! Me? At the observation room. Feeling of sadness camouflage me coz hubby isn't here yet and the thought of giving birth at the observation room makes me moody. Yadda yadda at the nurse to give me a labor suite ASAP. (A handful of others are still waiting too) The doc check and still 3 cm.
12.00 am: At last the labor suite! My contractions are still mild but more frequent now. When the nurse was about to wrap that "thing" round my belly, I asked for 'Fleet' but arghhh she told me that it is not their practice anymore. What? Oh no, will history repeats itself? Just have to wait and see I guess.
2.30 am: Contractions and more contractions. Seek forgiveness from hubby. Hubby was emotional too especially when I was about to touch the sensitive issue. He assures me that nothing of that sort will happen and told me to pile up my confidence and think of the positive side.
4.00 am: Still 3cm! The doc forces the water bag to break. Ouch that hurts. Contractions and more contractions but still bearable. I hate the drip part.
9.00 am: 3 cm! Induce will be next
10.30 am: Induce
11.00 am: Ask for “oxygen” Contractions r just 2 cm apart and getting unbearable. Still holding on to the mask. Hold hubby’s hand tightly. Hubby is helping me with the mask. Feeling weaker and weaker. I feel like pushing now but the nurse told me that I'm not ready yet. Hubby utters some prayers at my ear. I don't want to open my eyes. I am in a complete distress state now. The pain Ya Allah! Hubby asked me to focus on my breathing.
11.30 am: The doc is here. At last I'm ready but hey the nurse still takes her own sweet time and here I am battling for my life. So here it goes. I pushhhhhhh and oh boy how the nurse panics and told me to wait? Wait? Sorry not in my dictionary.
1st push, nothing, I was out of breath.
2nd push, I gave all my might....Allahhhhhh
11.58 am: Uwek! Uwek! Uwek! Alhamdulillah. Danish Harith is born. I tuck my hubby's sleeve like a small child as a signal whether Danish is alright or not. Hubby just smiles and gives me a kiss. Hubby performs the azan. The feeling is beyond words when Danish is placed by my side.
12.30 pm: Stitch! Stitch! Stitch! Ouchhhyy
I am truly thankful that after more than 12 hours of labor, I am still able to perform a normal delivery and yes this time no visit from “Mr Brown” (bowels).
