The Birth Story

Ok, baby dah genap sebulan baru nak publish.This is for you to remember..my dear child Fedora Erayna.

29 Mei 2012 (Selasa)

39 weeks  1 day.Pergi uni macam biasa sebab ada discussion+class. Drive manual lagi sorang2 dari rumah ke uni sebab badan sihat rasa macam biasa except perut yang besar & makin dekat dengan stereng.Huhu.*Bahaya ni jangan ikut!* So nak jauhkan perut dengan stereng tu kena letak bantal bawah punggung baru nampak depan nak drive & kaki dapat tekan clutch.Hehe.Nasib badanla tak berapa nak tinggi. Balik uni pergi melawat baby Aus Thaqeef sebab dah lama plan nak melawat tapi asyik delay je sebab busy.Takut terberanak tak sempat pulak melawat, tekad nak pergi jugak.Alhamdulillah sempat melawat sebelum terberanak sebab expect memang paling cepat 4 jun kot beranak.

30 Mei 2012 (Rabu)

39 weeks 2 day.Pagi dah siap2 nak pergi uni setelkan 2 more assignments (konon tak nak apply extension, cukuplah exam je nak defer.;p).Dah start rasa macam period pain tapi biasa2 je. Niat nak pegi uni terbantut sebab husband ajak pergi makan luar sedap2 sebelum terberanak  katanya(eh, macam tau2 plak esok tu memang terberanak). So tengahari pergi makan kat luar puas2 dengan banyaknya sampai baby gerak banyak sangat sampai rasa nak senyum je sorang2.Tak sangka tu last menghayati detik2 manis Fedora menari2 dalam perut.(Ya Allah, sumpah rindu gerak2 tu once dia dah keluar ..rasa perut erk!!!) On the way nak balik rumah, mintak husband singgah beli susu Pura sebab perut ni kalau minum susu Pura memang akan buang ‘air ‘dengan jayanya memandangkan perut ni dah sarat pregnant, nak buang ‘air’ masalah sikit.;p Syukur dah minum susu Pura sebab esoknya memang terberanak takdela terberak!(Again, macam tau2 pulak esok memang nak terberanak). Bila malam nak tidur tiba2 sakit perut pulak..And dah start rasa memang sakit perut nak terberanak ni.Dalam hati, “Ha, sahlah ni yg org panggil contraction..” sebab sakitnya ada sela masa.Kejap sakit,kejap hilang. Sakitnya ya allah, orang dah beranak jela yg tau.Tak boleh nak berdiri tegak dah, baring serba tak kena. Even dah rasa sangat yg tu contraction, malas nak bagitau MIL sebab takut tiba2 false labour so menahan jela sakit sampai tak tahan cakap dengan husband,”Esok kalau sakit tak hilang nak pergi hospital tau, tak tahan dah ni..” At the same time try jugak curi2 tidur sebab takut esok memang nak beranak takde energy. Bila contraction, husband try urut2 belakang ngan perut bagi kurang sakit. Allahuakbar je yg boleh nak sebut.Sometimes bila dah tak tahan, keluar jugaklah bunyi2 yg tak sepatutnya tapi husband bising “eh org islam mana ada bunyi macam2…mengucap banyak2.”erk.  Setiapkali contraction tengkuk rasa panas sangat. Adelaide yg sejuk dah tak rasa sejuk langsung dah.Tidur selimut tolak tepi.

31 Mei 2012 (Khamis) The Day!

Menahan sakit  1 malam sampai Subuh nak habis pon tak sedar. Husband pulak mengantuk layan wife yg sakit. MIL ketuk pintu bilik kejut bangun. Solat duduk jela sebab berdiri pon tak betul+tak larat.Lepas tu mandi siap2 nak pergi hospital. Sempat call mak kat Malaysia suruh doakan sebab dah sakit rasa nak beranak. Told husband,”Doa2 la beranak harini jugak, dah tak tahan dah ni..Mampos la kalau nak tahan sakit lagi 1 hari pulak..” Hospital dekat je tapi rasa jauh pulak sebab dah sakit+memang jam sikit cos time org nak pergi kerja . Sampai je hospital, kena buat VE (Vaginal Examination) untuk check berapa bukaan serviks,Kalau kurang 3cm, doctor suruh balik sebab maybe lambat lagi nak beranak. I was like ,”Erk, ya allah janganlah baru bukak 3cm, terukla 1 malam punya sakit baru 3cm pastu kena balik rumah pulak ke tahan sakit?!” Check punya check doctor kata dah dilate 6-7cm.Ya Allah leganya dengar sebab tak sabar dah nak beranak.Orang kata VE tu sakit but for me tak sakit pon sebab yang penting jangan ‘menahan’/keraskan otot masa doktor nak seluk, rilekskan je kaki+ badan.Rilekskan bukaan 'tututut' jugak.(Orang dah kawen rasanya patut tau how to relax it.Kihkihkih;p) One more thing, alhamdulillah Allah dah makbulkan doaku setiapkali lepas solat,”Mintak2la sepanjang proses bersalin ni (dari seluk, jahit sampai dah beranak) semua staff perempuan yg buat” Teehee, Tak sanggup la nak mengangkang kat depan laki lain pastu laki sendiri ada kat sebelah pulak.:( Yup, kat hospital memang  boleh request staff perempuan yg buat but if emergency case takde staff perempuan, terpaksa la staff laki yg buat, tu yg pihak hospital pon dah bagitau.Ok sambung..Lepas kena seluk, kena tunggula sampai bukak 10cm baru boleh push& at the same time kena tunggu labour room kosong sebab hospital penuh.Takde rezeki jugak nak waterbirth sebab penuh jugak.Redha jela..Alhamdulillah tak lama lepas tu labour room ada kosong (otherwise kena beranak kat assessment room yang kurang selesa) so midwife pon tolak dengan wheelchair ke labour room.Nervous memang takde.All I know is nak cepat2 keluarkan baby sebab tak tahan.

Nak tunggu bukak ke 10cm pon agak ambat jugak.Midwife suruh buat decision nak pecahkan air ketuban ke tak sebab nak cepatkan proses bersalin.Mula2 konpius jugak nak decide (apsal ntah) &memikirkan tak larat la tahan contraction so suruh pecahkan jela.Lepas pecah, still tak rasa nak beranak.Contraction pulak tiba2 rasa macam makin jauh gap dia sampai rasa mengantuk sangat!(malamnye kan tak cukup tidur menahan sakit).Husband and MIL sampai tertidur ok tunggu nak push tu (dalam hati time tu macam,”Hey, tergamaknya tidur pulak time org sakit!”Kui3) sebab memang kejap2 je rasa nak push.push sikit pastu mengantuk giler.LOL.lepas lama jugak tunggu, midwife check semula baby& seluk untuk rasa kepala.midwife suruh ubah posisi nak deliver memandangkan baring terlentang tak rasa sangat pon nak push.at the same time rasanya kepala baby senget sket camtula so kena mengiring.midwife Tanya nak mengiring ke kiri ke kanan so ku pilih kanan la afdal (konon).once mengiring ke kanan sambil pegang tangan husband & katil, kaki sebelah kiri kena angkat tinggi (can u imagine that?) memang rasa nak push sangat3 bila contraction datang.alhamdulillah rasa kejap je nak push tu.once midwife kata kepala baby dah nak keluar, tula peak paling sakit beranak kot!rasa macam ambil api cucuh kat situ (erk) so memang push habis2an sebab nak cepat2 habis sakit tu,push je tak tunggu dah contraction.huhu.

and Allahhuakbar!at 2.16pm lahirlah Fedora Erayna Bt Ahmad Aliff.I cried!Fedora keluar2 je nangis kuatnya oi & bukak mata tengok mak dia.:’)Once keluar midwife terus letak dia yg berdarah2 tu atas riba.The feeling is indescribable.Tak terhingga rasa syukur pada Allah atas baby yang sempurna sifatnya & menjadikanku seorang ibu.Listen world, I’m a mother!

Ok, I hate part dijahit!Ok,orang kata jahit beranak tak sakit but I don’t know why rasa sakitnya sampai meleleh2 air mata.  Padahal masa contraction & push menahan sakit takde pon sampai meleleh2 airmata. Rasa nak sepak je muka doktor yg menjahit  tu.Teehee. Husband cakap “tahan sikit..”.Sumpah terasa jarum&benang tu bergerak2 even kena bius.Erk.After kena jahit, midwife macam suruh cepat2 if nak mandi etc sebab ada orang nak masuk labour room so kami kena transfer ke post natal ward. Busynya oi hospital kat city ni..Husband temankan nak mandi sebab tak larat la kot nak mandi sendiri.Dalam bilik air tiba2 pitam & rebah ke lantai but nasib baik husband sempat  tahan/sambut kalau tak mampos kot jahitan terbukak!.Ok, first time rasa camne tu pitam.Memang tak perasan pon nak terjatuh, tau2 je dah terduduk kat lantai bilik air dengan mata yang macam ngantuk sangat.After mandi, kami pon bersiap2 & pindah ke post natal ward.mummy & Fedora 2 malam menghabiskan masa berdua kat wad sebab hospital tak bagi husband or siapa2 temankan.Allahuakbar!untuk 1^st time mummy like me memang sangat mencabar ,menguji keimanan, kesabaran & rasa nak nangis sebab Fedora asyik nangis je mummy taktau nak buat apa sangat+ badan tak larat sebab baru deliver+susah nak gerak sebab dipasangkan tiub untuk kencing+ heavy bleeding lagi so macam kerap nak ke toilet. Alhamdulillah ada midwife baik hati ambilkan Fedora kejap untuk mummy tidur.Dapatlah tidur dalam 4 jam camtu.Walaupun mummy buruk sangka rasa cam “Betul ke midwife ni nak jaga Fedora yang menangis sakan tu ke cubit2 Fedora or bagi ubat tidur sampai senyap dah budak tu..”Huhu.Sampai camtu sekali risau tapi nak taknak bagi jugakla sebab memang dah tak larat sangat3 nak jenguk Fedora kat sebelah katil. Now I know how a mother feels. Sayangnya anak sampai risau bukan2..Ok, I think that’s enough.That’s my birth story.Sorry ayat berterabur.I know I’m not a good writer but I really want to write this story for me to remember and for Fedora to know one fine day.Thank you Allah.

21st May 2012.

38 weeks pregnant.

Gorge Wildlife Park.

36 weeks pregnant

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and went for my check up today.Selalunya midwife tua yang check but today doktor muda blonde yang muda cantik pulak check so agak rendah diri ye dengan perut buncit.*sobs* Alhamdulillah baby's head is in the right position (ke bawah) & hopefully kekal la begitu sampai deliver.

My MIL said, "Baby boy ni.." (based on the shape of my belly) & she is so eager to wait for the baby.Saya pulak sangatlah sabar untuk tunggu baby keluar cos assignments tak siap lagi.:(

I'm almost done packing my hospital bag & esok (Sabtu) baru nak pergi antenatal class ye.;p 23/5 pulak kena attend water birth class. Midwife siap perli,"You're a naughty mom, waiting until the last minute to book for the class.Teehee.Dalam hati nak je jawab, "Okla kan, alang2 pergi antenatal/water birth class kalau tiba2 sakit nak terberanak boleh terus masuk labour room."

Being apart again

Lusa husband akan fly ke UK for 2 weeks without me yang berperut makin besar & struggle nak siapkan assignment.*sobs*. I think I weigh about 58-60kg now (33 weeks!) . Alhamdulillah rasanya sihat2 je melainkan perut yang besar + sometimes rasa kurang selesa.Still feeling better than my 1st trimester. I guess 33 weeks maybe still early kot untuk rasa lebih macam2 lagi.

I hate being apart!:'( Planning to sleepover kat rumah kawan2 yang bujang yang dekat dengan rumah & dah ajak kawan datang teman kat rumah. Tak berani tinggal sorang2 dengan perut yg makin besar ni. Siang pulak makin pendek since winter dah makin dekat.Nervous.Nervous dengan cuaca yang makin sejuk. Nervous dengan due date yang makin dekat since I'm expecting a winter baby!

I feel so glad dah beli barang baby awal2 sebab 2-3 weeks ni malas nak fikir pasal barang baby (Even macam semua yang penting dah ada.;p) sebab banyak assignments nak kena fikir. Setengah baju dah pre-wash but malas pulak nak lipat. I love folding clothes tapi baju baby ni kiut miut sangat la malas nak lipat, rasa susah.~_~

Still thinking nak pesan apa kat husband selain Avent iQ Bottle and Baby Food Warmer  .Told husband nak jenis ni, bukan Avent warmer yang lain & since barang-barang lain dah kumpul Avent, yang lain taknak!;p

My MIL akan sampai ke Adelaide on 8 May sekali dengan my husband yang akan transit kat Malaysia. Ok, I have to clean up my house! Actually dah start kemas sikit2 since last few weeks.lol.

Jolly Jumper

Went to Sunday Market yesterday with my neighbour Kak Su and she influenced me to buy Jolly Jumper! I never knew about Jolly Jumper before even Kak Su cakap during baby expo haritu ada demonstration/promotion Jolly Jumper.*How come I didn't notice it?* At first dengar rasa macam nama penulis buku kanak-kanak.LOL.

 Source: Google

Benefits for babies:
- It’s good exercise for babies
- Strengthens baby’s leg muscles
- Promotes earlier walking (by virtue of the fact that it strengthens their leg muscles) and motor coordination

Bought mine at $7 but I'm not sure whether my baby will like it or not. Harapnya suka & cepat berjalan la ye.. so cepat sikit boleh tambah baby lagi 1.;p

Look at this cute baby. She really enjoys her Jolly Jumper!
 

Baby Expo

I went to Pregnancy, Babies & Children's Expo today at Adelaide Showgrounds. The expo is held from 16-18 March so I decided to go on the 1st day sebab weekend sure ramai sangat orang. I went there alone, senang sikit nak tengok itu ini sebab saya sungguh banyak songeh.;p Lagipon hari ni hari Jumaat so malas nak heret husband yang nak pergi solat Jumaat pulak.

 The admission fee is $15 but if register awal-awal via online, you don't need to pay for it. It's FREE, yeay! Print je ticket or tunjuk je your smartphone dah boleh masuk.

 

I was looking for a stroller tapi takde good bargain pon. Harga biasa2 je macam sale kat tempat lain.I plan to buy 2 strollers.1 nak beli baru, 1 nak beli 2nd hand je untuk buat campak naik flight nak balik Malaysia nanti.Ok, it's still a longgg way to go.Still have plenty of time to think about it.

 Girly sangat. Ni kalau bawak anak perempuan yg suka princess silap hari bulan boleh nangis guling2 mintak beli pulak.

 Face painting.Atau paint jela kat mana2 yang disukai.;p

 Baby cot pon dalam wishlist jugak tapi tak murah pon kat expo.Contoh this set AUD1000++. Over tau lagi mahal dari katil parents.;p I'd only consider it kalau letak je baby boleh terus tidur immediately.Ok, tipulah kan.

Ada Wendy's, ada coffee shop etc untuk lepaskan penat lepas jalan2 semua booth yang ada.

FREE Goodies.3 yang Avent tu je yang beli akhirnya.

Breastfeeding set

I never imagined that shopping for the baby can be so much fun! Why, if tau nak ada baby setahun lepas lagi ke? Eh tidaklah pula begitu.;p Ok, now rasa macam semua pon nak beli even dah buat list awal-awal apa yang rasa patut dibeli. Since this is my 1st experience & deliver baby pulak kat oversea,list tu memang buat 'over' sikit. Biar 'over', jangan kurang.Cuma rasanya I should stop buying clothes for the baby. Baju newborn beli 5-6 pasang je since baby cepat besar.Yang banyaknya now 3-6months.

For breastfeeding set, I've been eyeing Phillips AVENT Breastfeeding set tapi tak berkenan pulak dengan breast pumpnya. Instead of Avent Manual Breastpump, I wanna buy Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump. Ramai yang recommend beli yang electric & dual, lebih senang but still belum beli lagi. Gonna buy it later sebab tengah tunggu offer. Pergi garage sale memang ada jumpa but sedih pulak nak beli yang 2nd + rasa kurang hygiene.;p

So barang-barang Avent yang lain beli asing-asing & lebih murah rasanya beli asing sebab dapat good offer from online websites.

Avent Bottles 260ml x 3 = $9.99 per box, bought from Big W Online + FREE shipping. (I bought 2 boxes, end up menyesal tak order 20 boxes sebab murah!)

NEW in box Avent Steriliser + Avent Manual Breast Pump + Avent Breast Milk Containers x 4 = $40, bought from Gumtree.

Gumtree ni macam Mudah.my if kat Malaysia.Finally 'ter'beli jugak Avent Manual Breast Pump since it's new in box & very cheap! At least senang nak bawa travel ke mana-mana.

I was so excited with the breast pump *jakun* & I've tried it to myself.LOL.Of course la takde hasil lagi.~_~

Baby shopping

How soon do you buy baby items? Rasanya it depends kot. Ramai yang suggest 7 bulan ke atas but the probs are "Larat & sempat ke nak beli semua benda time tu?" & "What if 7 bulan je tiba-tiba dah terberanak?". For me, I'm more concern with the 2nd question. Risau 7 bulan je terberanak & tak prepare anything, duduk jauh pulak dari family.:( Takkan nak susahkan orang pulak kirim beli itu ini. I have few more days until I reach week 28 & because of that, nak tak nak prepare jugaklah baby stuff except for major purchases like stroller, cot, breast pump etc, beli after 30 weeks la kot.

A midwife once said to me, "Don't buy so much PINK, yet!" even macam dah confirm baby girl. Masalahnya kat sini last scan masa 19-22weeks & after that takde scan dah sampai deliver but lantak ler, I've bought girls stuff dah. If tiba-tiba keluar boy, I take it as a bonus. Eh, girl pon bonus jugaklah kan sebab dah beli girls stuff + girls stuff is waaaay cuter.:p

Ok, I still don't have a 2nd name for our baby. Nama nak 2 perkataan. Susahnya nak fikir nama yang rare + non-arabic word + maksud yang baik. If takde idea, husband said dia akan bagi jugak 2nd name tu.;p

Waterbirth or not?

I had my 6-month check up today & alhamdulillah everything is ok.:) Since kat sini ada option untuk waterbirth, I requested for it even tak tau pon layak ke tak nanti untuk waterbirth.;p Some of my friends here tak qualify nak deliver secara waterbirth even dah request for it. Baby poo-poo dalam perut, ada masalah baby nak keluar, ada yang baby dah nak keluar, diri sendiri pulak tak confident dengan waterbirth tu sendiri, etc. Nasib masing2. Nasib diri sendiri pon nanti taktau so tak berharap mana pon, just request je & patients are reminded untuk prepare to be transferred out of the water if necessary.

Selain tu, untuk eligible for waterbirth:
- Not overweight & have a BMI less than 35.(if more than that tak muat kot tub tu.hehe.;p)
- Do not want to have pharmacological pain relief or an epidural during labour. (if tiba2 insist nak sure kena keluar dari tub).

Midwife bagi letter of consent to sign & hantar during next appointment.

Anyway, I just pray for an easy, normal delivery. Waterbirth or not is just a bonus but it's good if I've the chance to experience it. Balik Msia kalau deliver memang tak nak bayar extra kot untuk waterbirth.;p

Jalan-jalan kat Target after balik hospital jumpa weigh scale! Sample kat Target. Honestly, I didn't know my weight from week 6 until week 24. Kedekut beli!Hihi.;p Kat sini bukan ada merata2 kat shopping mall bayar 20/50sen macam kat Malaysia. Every check up pon takde siapa nak kisah berat, tak diambil tau untuk direkod.And err..I'm 53kg now.*tepuk tangan*. Baby love, pls don't make it more than 60kg until you pop out from mummy's tummy ok?;p

The Must-Read Books

When was the last time I read a book? Rasanya sebelum start kelas Master kot.;p It was a long time ago. The last book that I read is 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini. It is a very good read recommended by Deyna, my ex-housemate back in UTP. Dia memang suka baca buku2 ilmiah sikit rather than reading chick-lit novels as I always do. Some say chick-lit cerita perempuan2 bodoh.Hehe. The reason why I love chick-lit novel is tak perlu stress2 & boleh gelak2 sambil baca. Apapun, 'A Thousand Splendid Suns memang sangat best, insya-allah berilmu & bermanfaat. Really love 'Tariq' in that book sampai rasa nak letak nama anak 'Tariq'.Hehe. Ok, I know husband won't approve that name.;p I'm looking forward to read his other book tapi macam takde masa since I have so many books to read and I keep buying more and more books.

Sambil baby shopping harini pergi jugak mencari latest book from one of my fav authors, Sophie Kinsella titled 'I've Got Your Number'.Selalunya sanggup tunggu untuk beli di eBay je but kali ni beli jela since Big W is now offering good price. I plan to start reading it selepas habis exam & assignment end of this week.;p

Perfect combo. Enjoyed the smell of Gloria Jeans & the smell of a new book.:D

 ll

 Bought these books at eBay for 99cents each.Ouh, not including the postage $5 & they are still like new!

Awal2 pregnant memang macam rajin baca. Once masuk 2nd trimester jadi malas.;p Just refer once rasa perlu. Contohnya last 2 days sangat clumsy. I spilled coffee on my table, sambil makan anggur pon boleh sampai terbalik mangkuk & nak masukkan coleslaw dalam fridge pon boleh terbalik mangkuk. Everything happened in a day. Jenuh mengelap.:( I referred to the book and it says that it's one of the symptoms that I might be having! I've become more careful after knowing it.;p

Caused by loosening of joints & the retention of water, perhaps?

Bought these must read books at eBay for 99cents each too and err..still don't have the chance to read them!.:(

Halfway

Alhamdulillah, I've hit the halfway mark in my pregnancy! Isn't scary how time flies? I'm 20 weeks pregnant now. Rasa macam baru je dapat buku oren ni kat hospital.
 

Once disahkan pregnant & dapat buku oren tu, dapat goodies bag dengan pamphlets yang banyak & midwife suruh baca.Mula2 memang malaslah nak baca semua kan..Lama2 terhabis jugak baca bila setiapkali appointment bosan menunggu agak lama.Alhamdulillah. each appointment dapat midwife perempuan since memang request tak kisahlah kena datang appointment bila pon asalkan perempuan. Benda wajib check time appointment: check tekanan darah, ukur perut & dengar heartbeat baby.:')

Things in the goodies bag: Pamphlets, Sample - newborn diapers, Oral B floss, Pantene treatment, ointment, healing cream.

Last appointment midwife dah suggest pergi breastfeeding class. It's free and will be held every Tuesday morning. Rasanya nak pergi awal2 ni cos takut nanti dah tak kuasa nak pergi + busy schedule when new semester starts. Dad's class pon ada ye..tapi haruslah my husband tak rajin nak pergi sorang2.~_~ Midwife said, "Your husband can join Dad's class but you don't need to come." Makcik terpekak dengar, "Dance class???" Keh3. Peliklah apahal pulak laki kena pegi dance class sorang2. Midwife replied dengan sabarnya, "Sorry, Dad's class." Actually I'm a lil bit nervous nak pergi breastfeeding class cos takut kena selak2.;p Tapi rasanya takde la kan, guna model je kot.

17 weeks pregnant

Husband and I once dreamed we had a baby girl. I always thought a dream is just a dream but kebetulan during my latest check up the sonographer said it's 99% confirmed that I'm having a baby girl, a mini-me!

"The baby is actively moving!Don't you feel it?"
"No."

Ye.Tak rasa apa2 melainkan rasa tak sabar nak buang air akibat banyak minum sejam sebelum scan untuk dapatkan imej baby yang clear.

Till now (about 17weeks & 4days) I still can't feel my baby moving. Doctor said it's normal for 1st pregnancy. Sometimes you have to wait till 22 weeks to feel it!

Insya-Allah, a mini-me in the making.:)

Will confirm it once again during next check up on 9th January!

14 weeks pregnant

Yup.Now I'm about 14 weeks pregnant. Dah 14 weeks baru nak reveal sebab risau pregnancy yang still baru. Tau pregnant when I was about 4 weeks pregnant. Told my family & kawan2 terdekat je. Actually now pon macam serba salah jugak bagitau cos I'm still not a mom yet. Risau if anything happen kat baby nanti meroyan pulak. Therefore, I choose to be not too excited. Apapun, I just keep praying for this baby & dipermudahkan segalanya..Amin.

And yes, it's a planned pregnancy once I'm ready to become a mom and of course I'm so glad to have it! Thank you Allah! Masa 1st visit nak confirmkan  pregnant, the doctor asked me, "Do you wanna keep this pregnancy?" I was like, "Apa punya soalan ni?Dah la tak ucap tahniah pon.Tak nampak ke muka dah excited ni?!." ~_~  Rupanya kata sorang kawan di sini, memang macam tu prosedurnya. Doktor tanya dulu pesakit then only dia akan nasihat tentang what to do next, what to eat etc.

           5 Dec 2011 - Pic taken during my 1st check up at Women & Children's Hospital (WCH), Adelaide.

 

Alhamdulillah, I'm healhy now or at least, I feel healthy.;p So far takde simptom or alahan yang teruk2 except I had terrible stomach pain during 5 weeks pregnancy sampai paksa husband bawa ke hospital.

Insya-Allah, I'll deliver the baby at WCH which is about 15-minute drive from my house. We need to wait for another few weeks to find out the baby's gender. Husband wants his junior but I don't mind whether it's a boy or a girl dah asalkan sihat & sempurna.(Sounds like a true mother eh skang?Ahahah.) The thing is I have no experience being a mother, takut kena pancut dengan baby boy while changing his nappy.Kah3.;p

So this summer kami tak balik Malaysia pon.:( I'll miss all my friends' weddings again! I spend most of the time pergi class padahal uni sangat lengang now. Siapa je nak enroll summer class kan..Better pergi holiday or balik Malaysia. Poor my baby. Miss all Malaysian food & kena paksa plak study. I hope it will make him/her a strong person. Amin.
