It all started around 11am 5th June 2008…I was at home with my MIL when I felt a stronger contraction….’ No..It can’t be the true labor contraction, It must b the ‘Tony Braxton’s kick”..I told myself….I just ignored it….then I told my MIL, ‘Lets have Ikan Bakar for lunch at Pasar Keramat, jom ajak my parents, SIL and fmly plus my hubby (dtg naik lrt frm klcc)..hehehe….so all of us had a great ‘ikan bakar with nasi’ lunch…nyummm…tgh2 mkn, i still feel the contraction but this time my stomach became ‘hard’…still I ignored it….sempat plak lepas lunch singgah kat Pasar Keramat beli my fav fruits…manggis, mangga, grapes, rambutan….
Las minute shopping at Pasar Keramat
At home I pun rase2 sket buah2 tu…dah kenyang but my stomach is still ‘hard’…x leh jadi ni…so I called my Gynae..the nurse says it’s normal to have ‘hard’ stomach around this time….I hung up the phone and not satisfied with the nurse’s answer I went to my MIL and told her that I need to go to the hospital to check my baby’s movement coz I can’t feel it when my stomach is hard….so my MIL pun siap2 and we waited for a while for my mom to join us…then off we went to GIMC and reached there around 4.45pm…I walked to the Labor Ward and was asked to lay down in one of the labor rooms…suspens je…..then the Mid Wife asked me to change and she then checked my servics dilation….’Owh it’s already 3 - 4 cm..i think u’ll be warded….’ the Mid Wife told me…..huh????cepat nye???called my hubby…luckily he was on his way to the hospital…..he reached there around 5.30pm….meanwhile, my Gynae came and he also checked my servics dilation and confirmed that I was in Labor already…and he ruptured my water bag…wow, there goes my water…splashhhhhh…..It was 6pm before he left and he said U’ll most probably get your baby before midnight…then I rested….
Me at 8.30pm
At 8.30 pm, my contraction was still 10 minutes apart (sempat tgk TV3 News)….At 9.30pm, my contraction became 5 minutes apart and by 10.30pm I was already 8-9 cm dilated….I took the ‘gas’ inhaler..my eyes were shut coz i felt sleepy and I can hear the mid wife say it’s good to close yr eyes juz concentrate inhaling the gas if I feel the 1 minute apart contractions…..Alhamdulillah, I had a good team who supported me during the 2nd stage….I can hear my hubby’s voice, ‘Sayang, juz a little bit more, sabar k….’, my MIL’s voice ‘ Mengucap, bykkan selawat, ingatkan Allah…’ and the mid wife’s voice, ‘Ok Sarah now pushhhhh, holdddd, ok good, now push again and holdddd’….
And at 11pm sharp, I managed to deliver my baby boy….and still in my sleepy mode, I can see my fresh baby on my chest….’Alhamdulillah…..’ that’s all I remembered and i dozed off to sleep again while my Gynae continued with 3rd stage of delivery……
So i guess that’s all the experience that I can share…Thank you to my hubby, parents, PIL and my family who have supported me all this while especially during my pregnancy and my delivery…and now my confinement…:) Not forgetting to all my friends and relatives who have come to visit me and my baby….thanks!
