Pregnancy

This entry is continuation of my earlier entry here.

So, on 27/7/2012 (7th Ramadan) I went to the hospital to deliver my baby. Was a bit hesitate to give birth via csect at the beginning, but said to myself…ahhh belasah. do it. once and for all. Nurses have been in and out from my room, to help me ready for the procedure.

Tukar baju, tukar kain and etc. Hubby looked steady and calm while waiting for me compared to last time when I was about to deliver my Ichiro. Well, that’s the different between csect and normal birth, husband didn’t look so mess up. Hohoho. But wait till you see his face when he wants to pay the bills…haha, not so calm I guess.

I hate baju hospital, it make me feels naked albeit the fact that I’m fully covered. Menyampah. So depa pasang CTG to my tummy, and I could hear the sound of the baby was very loud. Bising betul as what I remember it ain’t that loud, tapi kali ni mcm gila bising. Thought that the baby move actively inside, which caused the loud sound. But oh mannn..I was wrong.

The doctor came and was also curious why the CTG machine screaming like that…then bila check…the doctor’s face looks bit troubled, “oh dear..you are having contraction!, you tk rasa ker?”

…hmm no I don’t feel anything…

“You tak rasa ker perut tegang ker anything?”
“I rasalah tegang tu, tapi perut I ni mmg 24 jam tegang jer manjang. Hihih”

How do I tell it’s tegang contraction or tegang biasa kan? Manalah nk tahu. Ehe. Jadi, doktor pon cepat2 check kepala baby, unfortunately baby’s head didn’t engage as expected lah kan. So, doctor pon kata, ok it’s confirmed you need to undergo an operation.

So, itulah ceritanya, dari nk normal birth, terjadi csect, pastu ada harapan nk normal birth, then found out kene csect gak. Tapi at least, akhirnya I pergi ke OT tanpa rasa bersalah to myself, sbb mmg situasi yg memaksa I buat csect. Mmg tiada harapan utk normal birth.

On 27/2/2012, friday, 7th ramadan 1.17pm (senang tgk jam, sbb jam ada depan mata I masa kt OT) , first cry echoed in the OT as soon as my baby being taken out from my womb. Tak menyabar2 nk menagis. Ichiro dulu steady sket, tunggu few minutes baru dia menangis.

I love Prof Zawiyah, tak rasa suspen and takut sangat nk deliver. She even told my hubby, lepas 2 weeks dah boleh dah make another baby. What a jaw dropping statement from her. Hahah. Husband I sudah tentu geleng kepala sampai nk tercabut. Hahahaha.

Enjoy Dawud Kenji Azmi pictures, was taken on the 5th day of his life. About the name, kali ni kami mmg pening nk pilih nama. Apparently i cuma fikir satu nama jer utk baby, and dah digunakan utk nama my first son. Lepas tu dah tkder dah nk pikir2 nama. Tapi lepas tu fikir la jugak kan , karang tak bernama la plak, concept sama, nama klasik/arab + jepun + nama my father in law. So, fikir2, I cakap I nak Dawud sempena nama nabi daud tapi dari segi ejaan arab, i search kt internet ada “W” , since nk sama kan dgn Darwis kami pon letak la ejaan Dawud. I know husband sure tk reject nama dawud, sbb kawan baik dia nama dawud. Suka lah tu Kenji plak maksudnya anak kedua lelaki yg sihat dan kuat, dan Azmi adalah nama my father in law.

Sekian!

Ya ampunnn…gemuks! Hahaha

Sorry sebab it took me so long to update about the arrival of my second baby.

 Alhamdullilah, Dawud Kenji Azmi was safely delivered on the 27th July 2012, 7th Ramadhan, Friday at 1.17pm. I can’t thank Allah enough for the blessing and protection granted to me and my entire family. Despite the rough pregnancy experience and also a very adventurous labor through c-sect operation, I can now smile happily.

Why c-sect? Why not normal birth?

Well we discovered it quite late actually, gynea told me and husband that my water was quite much which causing the baby head can’t engage. It did engage, but kept on changing it position. So, we can’t be sure where the head will be when the time comes. So, my gynea Professor Siti Zawiyah, gave us few options. Including being admitted for few days till I give birth so they can monitor me and my baby. Hahaha, staying in the ward for 2 weeks? Haha boleh lebam tunggu ok.

I said, just make it quick and willingly to accept the cesarean procedure since I want to end the pregnancy fast. And also I don’t think I can’t wait any longer for a risky normal birth. Kalau dulu , walaupun overdue I can still climb the stairs up and down everyday and duduk dekat kerusi main internet. Tapi kali ini, even nk mandi or kencing n berak I kene guna maid’s toilet yg kat tingkat bawah sbb dah tk larat sgt2. Maybe because there was plenty of water in ny tummy plus the baby, tu yg jadi tersenget2 bawak perut. Nk tidur pon tk boleh, sbb perut nnt tiba2 tersenget kiri kanan walaupun tidur terlentang. Then, kulit jadi tegang and perit.

On Wednesday 25th July, I came to see gynea again , to make our final decision on method of labor. C-section was chosen and since it is Ramadhan and I need Imran to be able to look after me for at least 5 days without applying more leaves, we then agreed to do the operation on Friday. Semua mcm elok jer, bulan Ramadhan, hari Jumaat, Imran dpt 5 hari cuti and Jumaat is 27th, which means kalau diizinkan Allah, tarikh lahir my second son akan sama dgn Ichiro yg lahir on 27th juga but in June.

Then, Jumaat pon sampai. I dengan sengal2 pergi hospital. Deep inside my heart I wasn’t really sure. Betul ker nk operate ni? Berani ker aku? Luka kene pisau pon boleh pitam inikan plak nk belah perut??? The thought of it can make my nyawa feels like melayang2 already.

Yes I’m that penakut.

Ok it’s getting too long. To be continued…

When talking about pregnancy, food is one important element. People keep saying “perempuan mengandung suka mengidam benda pelik2″

Well…I beg to differ. I’ve been through it twice and it is actually more to try to get food that I can eat rather than mengidam. Both of my pregnancy give me a tough time in choosing food. I’m too picky and I can’t eat the same food within short period. For example, if pagi ni breakfast nasi lemak, tomorrow I cannot take nasi lemak lagi. Kalau tk pregnant, selera jer nk bedal nasi lemak hari2 kan? Another example, if today’s food ada leftover and simpan dalam fridge dengan niat esok nk panaskan utk makan semula, boleh la lupakan sahaja because I won’t be able to eat it. Takkan ada selera punyeeee.

And because of that I need to stay with my mom till now. Sometimes my mom also get detested with my appetite. Sorry mom, it wasn’t me. Me-myself also kinda tired and fed up and can’t wait to end this soon. Emak pon dh pening nk fikir apa nk masak setiap hari. Lucky I love kampung dish. So, things aren’t so bad here compared to when I’m in PJ. At least there are few dishes that I can eat repetitively with a mountain of appetite. And another good thing, my mom can bake, so every now and then I get to eat homemade cakes, buns, cookies and traditional kuih/dessert. Like pengat and bubur kacang. Very setapppppp ok.

Oh ya, and if I force myself to eat something that I don’t want to eat for the sake of nk alas perut (mcm org selalu kata…ala makan lah sket alas perut…kadang-kadang I rasa cam menjerit tau..) , I won’t be able to “feel” the food let alone to feel filling. Mmg tetap akan rasa lapar walaupon makan banyak. Mengada? Yes I know. But bukan dibuat-buat ok. I know the different between real and mengada-mengada. Sbb, yg mengada-mengada tu I selalu gak buat masa dengan husband lah. Kalau dengan orang lain, mahu kene makan pelempang. Hihihi.

On similar note, still about food….I ni masa pregnant gila banyak angin. Was being informed by doctor that it was because food moving very slow during pregnancy, so resulted in lots of gas produce. In my case I kept burping and still burping till now at 7 months (mind you during my first pregnancy it prolonged till I labor). Ini bukan sekadar sendawa biasa2 tau, this kind of sendawa bring all the foods from inside your tummy up to your throat or mouth. And you will be able to “taste” the food that you have eaten 5-6 hours ago. Totally yucks ok! Imagine kalau I makan durian? Wohooooo, gila geli kalau sendawa berbau and berasa durian. EUwwwwww.

Yesterday I burped, till foods tersembur keluar from my mouth. How’s that? I hate it, but I just had to live with it, for another 2 months. Everything for my baby….kenalah sanggup dan berkorban. And there are times when certain foods can contribute to lots of gas, which resulting in non-stop burping like horn keretapi. Burp..burpp..burpp..burppp. Shessssh. Hari tu my mom brought back lots of pulut kuning with rendang from relative’s kenduri. I mmg teringin nk rendang and makan dgn sangat banyak. But alhamdullilah angin biasa-biasa sahaja. Few days later, my dad brought back berkat from kenduri, ada rendang juga, packed in a small plastic bag, kecik jer. I ate it lah, sbb kali ni ada sambal ikan bilis pula. Dah nama hantu pulut, haruslah makan kan. Sejurus habis tu jer, mak oi angin bertubi2 ok. Till I senak and lemas. Terbaring tk dapat nk buat apa-apa sangat. Could it be different type of pulut cause different amount of gas? I wonder……..

Now, kinda pening to think about food for 2-3 weeks before my due date, coz I’ll be staying with husband in PJ masa tu, since nk kene get ready for labor kan. So, I cannot stay with my mom sbb hospital bersalin kt PJ. Heee. Apalah aku nk makan masa tu nnt? Haihhhh. I need to eat a lot of food, sbb masa pregnant Ichiro, sampai ke akhirnya tk boleh nk makan sangat and takder tenaga nk push. Maybe I nk mintak my mom buat kan bekal lauk kampung for me yg can tahan for 3 weeks. Antara lauk yg I have in mind are lauk sambal daun kayu masak tempoyak and sambal tumbuk lada kering ikan bilis. Lauk ni mmg boleh makan hari2 tanpa jelak. U all ada any suggestion utk any kind of food yg I bleh simpan utk bekalan 3 minggu tu?

Separuh dari fabrik yg dah dibeli, another half not in picture.

Been busy for the past few weeks. I’ve conducted several discussion session with customers for wedding and raya outfits. Some ada yang drop by my place, some through email and whatsapp jer. Cool kan technology? Without meeting up face to face, once can actually order custom clothing. So, to those yang got no time to meet up with designer or got no time to look for an affordable designer and dress maker. I’m here for you ok

I went to Jakel Malacca for the first time that day. Okaylah not so bad, choices are quite limited tho, because the building seems quite small. Bukanlah kecil sangat, but kecil if to compare with Jakel KL/Shah Alam or even Segamat. Yeah I’ve officially been to all Jakel stores. Dulu when I was still a small kid, selalu ikut my mom pergi Jakel Segamat. Since my house is actually kinda situated at the border of Malacca and N9 and also kinda near to Segamat. So, I got the chance to go to all Jakel stores. Huhu. Not a fan of Jakel (in terms of fabric, or maybe sbb I’ve been there so many times till all fabric looks no longer pretty to my eyes. Huhu), but Jakel by far the biggest textile supplier in Malaysia kan, so senang sket sbb byk pilihan.

I still remember, when I was scouting for my wedding outfits fabric, I was some sort rambang mata. Everything pon nakkkkkk. Everything pon nampak so santekkkkk. But sadly I can just buy fabric enough for 2 outfits jer. Nk beli banyak-banyak…tak cukup duit satu, lagi satu kejadah hapa la kan haku nk pakai baju kawen banyak-banyak. Heee. I was 24 year old masa tu and I chose and bought my own wedding outfit fabric alone. Yup alone. I tk bawak sesiapa penasihat or designer. I was very confident and I know what I want despite the fact that I was quite young masa tu. Ramai kata org muda tk pandai and tak tahu pilih kain. I beg to differ! Walaupon I tk pernah buat baju mahal-mahal before I get married, paling mahal pon I beli was kain Opel. Masa I umur 23-24 tu kain Opel tengah top. Huhu.Tapi alhamdullilah dengan kebolehan yg Allah anugerahkan kepada saya, memilih fabric adalah benda dan perkara yg paling paling saya gemari!

I bought my sanding outfit fabric di EuroModa and nikah at other shop yg I dah lupa nama , itupon selepas masuk few other kedai and tk jumpa fabric yang I nak. When I showed my fabrics to the designer, his remark was “pandai you pilih kain…” I was then smiling from ear to ear and felt so satisfied and proud of myself. Hihih (perasan best masa tu) And now, sejak ada boutique business, I dapat beli kain cantik selalu for my customers and rasa sangat bahagia ok!

This year, I beria sikit ambil orders awal-awal and keep reminding my regular customers to order theirs soonest possible before end May. Sbb by early July I wanna make sure all orders have been completed so that I could go through last stage of my pregnancy with a peaceful mind. Lagipon my tailor said bulan puasa dia tanak menjahit.

Jakel Malacca was formerly known as Astana Moda. Now dah rename as Jakel rasanya as I being told. They gonna open new shop soon near Jusco area to accommodate more fabrics. I loike!

Ok a bit of my pregnancy, alhamdullilah syukur pregnancy kali ini nampaknya sedikit mudah dari yang pertama. Kalau yg pertama sehinga ke akhir pregnancy I muntah and tiada selera makan, berserta angin yang tiada hentinya and kaki yang membengkak. Utk kali ini, muntah dah tkder cuma selera makan tu agak memilih, makan goreng2 kt kedai tu tkleh makan sangat, makanan bandar pon tk minat sangat. All I want is my mom cooking. Lauk kampung, cakes, donuts, kuih-muih, chocolates….semua ni jadi makanan ruji dah. Huhu. Chocolates or cakes tu kalau tk dpt makan, rasa mcm nk mengamuk ok. Jadinya, mesti makan walaupon segigit. Hmm macam-macam betul eh? Hihi

Gender baby tk tahu lagi, my sister kata I scan guna mesin cap ayam. Hahaha. Tapi kali ni mcm nak rahsia la gender baby, biar family suspen sikit Nama baby? Arghhh tk decide and finalize lagi. Dulu yg first siap boleh buat peraduan teka nama baby saya. Hahah, kali ni nama pon tk decide lagi , gender pon tatau lagi.

Ichiro pula mcm tk sabar nak adik keluar. Dia selalu tengok you tube guna iphone and sandar kt perut I sambil usap-usap perut I. Konon-konon tengah tgk you tube (selalu tengok Pingu) dengan adik dia. Hehe. Itu tk kira lagi bila asyik big hug and kiss perut I. Kadang-kadang ngeri takut dia jadi geram and gigit. Pernah terjadi okkkk dia gigit my belly button. Ouchhhh.

Okaylah itu sahaja. Sorry terpanjang pulak, tapi dh alang-alang lama tk update kan. Selamat bekerja!

Ok secara rasmi saya dah delay 1 or 2 days.

Hmmm…saya kene buat apa yeh sekarang? Gynae kata start induce 2hb7.

Ni yg malas nk induce bagai ni.

Please dun ask bila baby nk keluar…sbb saya pon tatau bila.

I syak my baby ada byk nk kene isi borang utk check out. Amik masa sikit.

Almaklum, dah duduk sedap-sedap kt dalam 40 minggu harus la byk bil tertunggak nk settle kot.

Hehehe. (lawak sengal perempuan mengandung yg nk sedapkan hati)

Adehh…sakit contraction…got to go!
