Alhamdulillah setelah 2 minggu yang mencabar, hari ni Allah berikan nikmat ketenangan hati :)
Rasa teruja nak kongsi pengalaman melahirkan Ameer Hakeem ke dunia. I love reading birth stories written in blogs, and I love watching birth stories shown on TV (Channel 733 Astro). During the final days of my pregnancy, I read so many blogs featuring experiences in giving birth, and tried to imagine how my story would be unfold :) So here goes mine...
My story started on 3rd of September 2015. It was Thursday and I was still working 8am-10pm. Faheem was not feeling well that day so I brought him to the clinic with me. When I got home, at around 10.30pm, Faheem went to bed and I went to the kitchen to prepare my meal. I love this time of the day as usually it's the time for me to unwind on the couch, cuddling with abang while enjoying my meal and watching my favourite programme on TV. But not that night.
When I was doing some dishes at the kitchen sink, I felt a gush of water down my legs which created a pool on the kitchen floor. I was surprised but kind of expected this anytime as I had passed my delivery due date for 2 days. Called abang to the kitchen asking for his opinion.
"Abang rasa ni liquor (air ketuban) ke?"
"Ye kot"
Cuba bau, tak ada bau
Tak ada warna.
Ambil kain buruk untuk lap lantai. Abang sempat tanya lagi, air ketuban najis ke x? Hahaha abang ni memang OCD sket bab najis2 ni.
I went to the toilet and changed into a new set of pajamas. Returned to the sink to continue doing the dishes. Suddenly a seocnd gush, this time around, habis basah lencun seluar. Jerit panggil abang lagi haha. Abang tanya nak g hospital ke? I said no sebab tak sakit lagi, baby was still active plus it was late at night and I dont want to wake Faheem up. So I decided to wait until the next morning.
The next morning (4th September 2015) still there wre no contractions. Siap2 kemas rumah, lepastu bersiap untuk ke hospital. Sebelum ke hospital, sempat singgah Warung Sulaiman pekena roti canai dulu hehe.
Sampai hospital (Hospital Kuala Krai), biasalah check semua benda. Baby sihat Alhamdulillah (CTG was normal), I was 1cm dilated (and has been 1cm dilated for the past 2 weeks. Tahu sebab abang check kat rumah), no contractions. Bila scan, air ketuban dah kurang. My last scan was 3 days before that, AFI (air ketuban) was 14. Bila check kali ni, tinggal 7. So I was admitted in Merpati 1 and antibiotic was commenced, while planned for labour induction the next morning.
Malam tu, ada irregular contraction which was very mild and did not bother me at all. But I couldnt sleep the whole night because of my generalized bodyache huu. Kalau tidur katil sendiri boleh tahan lagi, tapi bila kena tidur kat katil hospital, rasa macam semua tulang dipatah patahkan. So I sat on a chair the whole night, while texting abang sakit badan, tak boleh tidur, panas etc. Nurse tanya, sakit ke? I said sakit belakang, bukan sakit nak bersalin. Hahahaha sorry lah banyak sangat complain ;p
The next morning (5th September 2015), I was still 1cm dilated. Still no contractions. So Prostin (ubat paksa bersalin) was inserted at 7.20am. Right after Prostin insertion, contractions started coming in. It was strong with a frequency of 4 in 10 (4 contractions in 10 minutes, about 2 minutes apart) Dah mula tak senang duduk. Tak boleh baring sebab bila baring semakin sakit. Texted abang, cakap dah start sakit. Abang suruh baca Quran. So I sat in a chair, reading SurahMaryam. Bila baca translation Surah Maryam, kuatkan hati. At least aku dikelilingi ramai orang dikala sakit, unlike Maryam Ummu Isa, bersalin seorang diri, Allah runtunnya hati. Abang datang at 10am, hantar makanan. Penuh meja. Ada roti canai, milo ais, nasi dengan macam2 lauk. Abang kata nak g hantar makanan kat Faheem (yang duduk rumah pengasuh), lepastu baru datang hospital semula.
Abang came back at around 12pm. Makanan hospital pun sampai. Nampak sedap and I actually finished the food! Hahaha. Lepas makan ajak abang keluar jalan jalan. Kononnya nak bagi kepala baby cepat turun. Kat Malaysia tak galakkan sangat patient berjalan2 bila sakit ni, tapi kat UK memang diorang galakkan patient berjalan. Waktu nak keluar pintu wad, nurse tanya nak ubat tahan sakit tak. Boleh senyum gelak gelak lagi, cakap taknak. Sakit sikit je. Aku pun pegang tangan abang and actually walked out of the ward sampai dekat cafeteria hospital! Waktu tengah berjalan tu, terserempak dengan Dr Adam, MO O&G oncall. Dia advise suruh berjalan angkat kaki tinggi supaya cepat jalan buka. Jangan heret2 kaki. Aku pun berjalanlah macam orang tengah berkawad haha. Bila contraction kuat sgt, I had to stop until the contraction was over, then sambung berjalan lagi.
Balik ward at around 1.15pm as I was due for the next examination (cek jalan 6 jam selepas masuk Prostin). 3cm. Alhamdulillah ada progress :) The doctor assured me that I will deliver that day and scheduled for the next examination after 4 hours at 5pm, and probably I could go to labour room after that. I was all smile :) Alhamdulillah Allah permudahkan kali ni sebagaimana Allah permudahkan time Faheem dulu. So balik ke katil, I decided to shower. Panas Ya Allah. Hospital lama, aircond rosak, atap zink. Rasa macam dalam sauna. Sehari berkali2 aku mandi. Abang kata nak g masjid untuk solat zohor, tapi aku tak bagi haha. Tak berani lepaskan abang g jauh2. Asked abang to wait at the bed till I finish taking my bath. It was around 1.30pm at that time. Lepas mandi, sampai je kat katil tiba2 rasa contraction yang maha kuat yang memang tak boleh tahan. Laju je mengalir air mata. Bila contraction stop, serta merta sakit tu hilang. Cepat2 bersiap untuk Zohor dan minta abang solat di surau luar wad. Contraction sangat kerap dan lama, tengah solat tu, air mata tak berhenti henti mengalir. Sakitnya Allah je yang tahu. Siap2 jama' sekali dengan Asar, bimbang lama di labour room dan susah nak solat Asar nanti. Lepas solat around 1.45pm, terus call abang tanya kat mana. Abang kata dia dah siap solat and on the way ke wad. At that time, tak berani dah nak duduk, terus baring atas katil. Rasa kejang tak boleh nak gerak. Minta kakak katil sebelah tolong panggil nurse. Bila nurse datang, kata kat nurse nak ubat tahan sakit. Minta sambil nangis teresak esak tu haha, drama habissss. Tak lama lepas tu dlm 2pm, seorang houseman (doktor pelatih) Dr Nadia datang. Dr Nadia ni memang banyak berjasa. Dari mula admit ward, masukkan prostin, cek pula 6 jam selepas tu hehe. Dia kata, Dr Adam pesan suruh pecahkan air ketuban (ARM) and pesan suruh jalan2. I told her memang dah terlalu sakit, I could barely move, let alone walk. So dia consult balik Dr Adam and lepastu minta masuk labour room untuk ARM. Wad ni bersambung dengan labour room. Bila sakit berkurang, aku pun berjalan kaki ke labour room (2-3 minit je), sambil dipapah oleh abang. Kat labour room, rasa tak sabar nak baring sebab sakit sgt. Kelam kabut tukar baju and tanggalkan apa2 yang patut. Waktu dah baring dalam labour room, it was around 2.20pm. Nurse pasang CTG, tapi bacaan jantung baby dah tak cantik, and contraction gila2 dalam 6-7 contractions dalam 10 minit. Practically hampir continuous lah. Dr Nadia pecahkan air ketuban, cek bukaan 4cm. Abang gosok2 perut, genggam tangan and baca quran non stop, aku rasa benda tu sangat membantu untuk tenangkan hati. Latihan breathing technique semua tak berkesan dah rasanya haha. Bernafas lah ikut lagu mana pun, dok try imagine macam2, tapi sakit tu tak berkurang.
Waktu tu memang terdetik dalam hati, impossible nya orang perempuan kena tanggung sakit macam ni, rasa defnitely this will be the last, rasa macam tak boleh bayang duduk dalam labour room lagi 6 jam, rasa macam boleh ke nak teran ni? Macam2 haih. Waktu tu tak henti henti baca lailahailla anta subhanaka inni kuntu minadzalimin. Memang tak boleh nak baring betul dah, rasa nak mengiring sangat3. tapi nurse minta tahan sekejap untuk completekan CTG. lepas habsi CTG baru boleh bagi ubat tahan sakit. Aku minta gas untuk kurangkan sakit (Entonox), jadi bila sedut tu rasa lalok pening2 je. Tak sempat habis CTG 20 minit, tiba tiba datang urge rasa nak push. Nurse cek bukaan dah 10cm, dah boleh push. Subhanallah, baru 20 minit dalam labour room, waktu tu 2.40pm.
Abang nak sambut sendiri tapi aku tak bagi. Sebabnya aku sangat2 perlukan abang untuk genggam tangan, untuk bagi semangat. So bidan yang sambut. Selepas 10 minit, Ameer Hakeem pun lahir ke dunia Alhamdulillah :) Tapi Hakeem tak menangis waktu lahir. Biru. Aku tengok je dia senyap dan biru, dan terus dibawa ke tempat resuscitation. No skin to skin, no breastfeeding but lucky them i knew better than to argue about some gentle birth elements. Abang ikut Hakeem, and I prayed that everything would be well... (to be continued)
