How Armand came into the world..

Assalamualaikum!! :)

Before i proceed with the details... bear in mind that my EDD was 28th March.. so docCT decided to induce, after 7 days overdue... it was scheduled on 5th April 2011. On the morning... mintak maaf dgn mak bagai... in-laws also called... :)


5th April 2011, 8.30am:
- Arrived at SDMC.. escorted to Delivery Suite 12.. wahh.. suite?? hmmm... psycho-ing mummy to be i guess.. hehe.. changed into uniform... gave me tag... they showed other 2 same tags.. will be used for the baby..
- Put CTG for 30 mins.. and husband was escorted to pre-admission to pay the deposit.. heee...
- Nurse asked whether i have eaten or not... well... i had Mak's fried rice for breakfast... getting ready! :) then nurse still offer whether she can order some food for me.. i said no thanks.. 

5th April 2011, 9.15am:
- erkk.. i felt very warm... and nurse moved me into Delivery Suite no 9.. hehe... 
- *phewwww* better aircond...
- docCT came... smile smile... talk talk... and we began the drip... put 'thingy' in my butt to get me poo-poo.. and she broke my waterbag... arghhhhhh!!! hurt like hell... i cried! :P i'm not ashamed to admit that i'm not good with pain tolerance.. ahah...
- then every now and then i can feel 'warm water' came out from 'down there'... feels like pee-ing all the time.. nurse said, "it's ok Leo.. u can pee on the bed.. " owh.. like dat oso can arr.. ahahah... feels funny at 1st until i really pee-ed!!! OMG!! i wet the bed! my gown.. blanket.. all smell pee.. euwwww... nurse just laughed, ":) no worries Leo.. we'll change it for you ok.." then she did lah... :) so schweeettttt...
- and i want to poo-poo!!! nurse escorted as i need to bring the whole drip in...

5th April 2011, 10.30am:
- Nurse did VE.. only 1cm opening... check CTG.. it shows contraction.. yet i don't feel anything... hmm... funny... baby's HR seemed good.. in the mean time, all i do was pee on bed.. ahahah... and nurse only came to say hi to me and changed my pad..

5th April 2011, 11.30pm:
- Nurse wanted to order lunch for me.. although i'm not hungry but she insisted for me to eat.. i will need the energy later.. ok.. chicken porridge then.. :) hubby went out for lunch as well...
- 12.52pm.. VE again.. 1.5cm... hmmmm... still.. mummy still didn't feel any contraction... all i can feel was the pain from the VE... arghhh.. me no likeee!!! Ctg chart shows every 3mins already.. nurse said it's a very unusual case.. hmm.. what to do... i'm started to feel sleepy... haizzzz...

5th April 2011, 2.15pm:
- Opening 2cm.. i'm still bored and sleepy... doc just monitor everything.. baby's ok.. then i went back to sleep.. ehee...

5th April 2011, 3.30pm:
- Diff nurse came... did VE again! :P still 2cm... i'm getting fed-up from VE pain... and i said to my hubby.. if i were to ask for epidural bcoz i couldn't stand VE, will my request be rejected? eheee... 
- docCT came around 4pm... nurse said she just checked and i'm still 2cm.. docCT decided to check again.. haizzz... apparently, she not only check.. but 'wiggle2' her fingers to 'force' some opening... auwwww... my eyes teary again... thats's it!! epidural it is!! hehe...
- Dr Bius came in.. got a 'little lecture' from her for requesting epidural whereas i have no contraction pain at all... heheh... sorry doc... me no like VE!!!
- i thought this process wud be painful.. but i was totally wrong... i guess this doc is super-hebat!! she talked with me throughout the procedure... which only take less than 10 mins i think... few moments after that.. i started to feel numb... and backpain gone totally.. hehe.. i like! then what i did? i slept!! soo heavenly i felt... hubby try to catch some zzz on the couch as well

5th April 2011, until 10.40pm:
- Nurse already changed 3 times... did VE.. i felt nothing... ahahhaha... 
- docCT came... and my opening still 2cm... la la laaaaaaa..... this is where my eyes were totally wide-open.. why? docCT explain in details... she preferred to perform c-sect as there is no progress in my opening... water already been broke.. amniotic fluid is getting lesser... already 12 hours.. there's no point of waiting as i can be 4cm in another 12 hours.. by that time, baby might be in distressed and she did not want to do emergency c-sect... moreover, if the water broke more than 12 hours, baby is prone to infection as well... again, something we want to avoid...
- i looked at Alif with a look of no opinion... hubby said.. we'll go with what doc recommended.. she knows best... and i smiled and said ok... let's do this!!
- then nurse prep me for operation.. Alif called my mum and his mum to update our situation... and before i left to Operation Theatre (OT), salam alif.. cium tangan... and felt so sad as i so want him to be on my side... he kissed my forehead and told me everything will be okay... see me with the baby in awhile.. :)

5th April 2011, approximate 11.15pm (in OT8):
- I'm on half-anesthetic.. as docCT said if full-anesthetic the baby will prone to be 'sleepy' as well.. 
- Ok... i could hear what docCT was doing... one nurse hold my hands and calming me down all throughout the surgery.. moment after that, i can feel baby crying.. owh.. that;s my baby... docCT said, "owh.. sharifah.. beratnya baby u.. patut la takmo keluar" hehe.. i can see nurse took the baby, and brought him under a 'machine'..looks like a 'warmer'... then brought him to me.. "puan.. baby puan.. comel.." and i kissed him on the cheek! i cried my heart out... "saya tak boley bagi puan lama2 ya.. kena bawak pegi nursery.. sebelum tu, jumpa suami puan dulu utk azankan semua ya.. nanti jumpa baby dkt ward nanti"
- baby is born at 11.58pm, 5th April... 2 mins to 6th April.. hehe...
- i'm so sad.. huhu.. couldn't explain that moment in words... 
- then docCT said she's 'closing' everything.. as fast as she could to minimize 'bleeding'... by this time.. i suddenly can feel the pain and pressure.. Dr Bius inserted more anes and i dozed-off.. weird.. as i cudn open my eyes.. felt like sleeping but i can still hear what's going on...
- all in all... i was escorted out from OT to the ward.. when i arrived at the room.. hubby, mak, parents in law and fieza were there... owh.. i'm so blessed! hubby kissed me on and said our baby is beautiful.. :) relief.... psychical and mental.. hahah...

6th April 2011, 2.00am:
- saying bye-bye to mak, PIL and Fieza... fieza sent my mom home... huhu.. thanks babe!
- hubby stayed with me in the ward of course.. love you abang!
- nothing much, but i remembered vomitting.. hehe... due to the anes nurse said.. and it's normal... and i was shivering... again, due to the anes... nurse blanket-ed me twice.. and i slept! hehe...
- we were woken up at 3.30am.. brought baby to us!! yayy!!! we hold Armand in our arms.. then nurse taught me how to breastfeed.. then Armand slept in my arms... hubby and i talked until 6am.. hehe...admiring our baby! :)

My personal conclusion... we can only plan.. but Allah always knows what's best for us!! :)
Love,
