Tak
pernah ceritakan pengalaman bersalin kat sini. Previously time Khayra, Abah dia
yang ceritakan dari side bapa. Hehehe.
Consider
this as my little gift sempena birthday Adik Hafiya yang pertama i.e. esok (how
time flies!), let’s reminiscing your birth story, shall we? :P
24.10.2012
(Wednesday)
I was
on medical leave (MC) since a day before (23.10.2012) since doctor (Dr.
Seripah) kata baby dah engaged dan if I wanted to deliver kat Intan, kena rest
duduk diam-diam since Intan tutup for Raya Haji (on 26.10.2012 – Friday). Was
given MC for 2 days and akan sambung after Raya Haji if belum deliver.
Posted
an entry in this blog at noon dan tak rasa nak lunch makan nasi. Dah rasa sakit
perut sikit-sikit. So after solat Zuhur, went to the kitchen and makan roti dan
aiskrim then tengok TV. At 3pm dah rasa macam ada mild contractions. Timing
about 10 minutes apart. Told Hazri dan dia bergegas pulang (on his way home,
singgah ambil Khayra kat school). Hazri informed his mother and Mama datang
checked on me kat rumah. Terus bersiap nak pergi Intan tapi sempat juga makan
nasi sejemput takut tak ada energy nanti.
Hazri
sampai kat rumah, kita check semua beg dan masa keluar rumah tu tengah azan
Asar. So kita decided nak solat dulu kat rumah, baru pergi Intan. Mama dah
risau takut ter-deliver kat rumah. Heheh. Masa tu bearable lah contractions and
all. Yang paling sedih adalah masa nak tinggalkan Khayra (we decided to leave
her with Mama & our helper).
5.30pm
: Doktor Kamsiah did VE and confirmed that I was dilated 3cm and suruh warded.
Sebab katanya kalau warded esok dah tak diterima since Intan nak tutup for Raya
Haji on Friday. Dalam hati, bersyukur sangat labour signs showed up today sebab
we did check on KTS (the male gynea was also on leave), so the only option kami
ada adalah HSNZ in which I sangat-sangat nak deliver kat Intan sebab nak doctor
perempuan.
Able to
get a single ward room and changed into labour attire sebelum went for
monitoring the baby’s heart beat etc. Then ubat berak was pumping in and sampai
bilik I bergegas to the toilet. Heheh. Baru managed to talk to Umi dan Abah
(called earlier but not answered) serta hubby informed our siblings.
7.00pm
: Dinner was served. Contractions masih bearable. My parents and Khayra datang
after Maghrib.
8.45pm
: Another check up by Doktor Kamsiah (the same doctor masa Khayra dulu). I was
6cm dilated. My water broke. I wanted to jalan-jalan (dan digalakkan oleh
doctor sebab dia tengok I macam cool je. Hehe) sekitar luar ward. Masa tu rasa
sakit tapi macam boleh bertahan. Sempat berbalas Whatsapp dengan siblings,
jalan-jalan berborak dengan nurses kat luar, layan Khayra dan sempat tengok
baby’s ward. Baca Yasin dan surah-surah pilihan sementara tunggu next check up
which was scheduled at 12.45am.
9.30pm
: I asked my parents to go home sebab Khayra dah mengantuk. Drama sikit time
dia nak balik sebab dia peluk dan nangis, dengan ibu dia pun menangis sama.
Hehehe.
(25.10.2013
– Thursday)
Arafah
Day. (Hari Wukuf di Mekah)
12.00am
: Opted for an early check up. 8cm dilated. Doktor bagi tak balik ke ward (yang
cuma boleh jalan sejengkal je. Hehe) and just be in the labour room with
husband. Dikeheningan pagi (ecewah), nurse boleh tanya I, “Puan OK? Senyap je,
kang sedar-sedar dah deliver.” To them pada tahap 8-9cm dilated and I tak ada
ada mengeluh sakit, menangis, trying to push atau membuat bunyi-bunyian pelik
(heheh), adalah something yang luar biasa. Alhamdulillah, I still managed to
bear the contractions yang datang kejap-kejap. Dalam hati hanya doa doa dan doa
serta baca semua surah dan doa yang terlintas difikiran.
1.30am
: Tried to push but the contractions were too short and not that strong. Doktor
asked me to push while mengiring ke kiri tapi sama juga. Contractions were just
too short and not that very strong. Masa tu dah start risau sikit. I talked to
Hazri, “Yang, takutnya. Kenapa contractions tak strong? I cannot push” Hazri
just kept me calm. Masa tu ada strong determination untuk keluarkan baby
cepat-cepat sebab perasaan nak tahu how’s the baby is doing inside tu sangat
kuat. Motivation pada ketika itu adalah Khayra, I really nak tengok her
expressions bila jumpa her adik baby.
The
next minute at 2.24 am setelah berperang dengan contractions yang pendek dan tak
begitu kuat, Alhamdulillah I safely delivered a baby weighing 2.76kg. Lega sangat! Big relieved
sangat rasa :)
BUT
there was an emergency situation berlaku.
When
the baby’s head dah keluar dan I could hear baby menangis disaat I dah rasa
lega seleganya, Doktor asked me to push lagi sebab tali pusat terbelit! Masa tu
dari perasaan lega, tenang dan happy sangat sangat sangat, tiba-tiba rasa
panik, berdebar dan risau. Menggeletar satu badan and I tried to push lagi.
Masa tu Allah sahaja yang tahu how I feel sebab kita dah bertenang dari
kerisauan tapi ada panic situation pula and all I could think of masa tu adalah
“ingat Allah, ingat Allah, ingat Allah”. Doktor suruh push lagi sebab tali
pusat terbelit 2 pusingan kat leher baby! Doctor was trying to pull off the
umbilical cord dari leher baby and tried their very best to keep (save!) me and the baby.
That
was the longest hour in my life. Seriously. Alhamdulillah, they managed to make
all things right and the baby was showed to me and put on my chest sambil
Doctor tanya about the baby’s gender for me to answer.
They passed the baby to Hazri untuk diazan dan iqamah and the
after birth process was initiated on me (checking up my condition, my blood
pressure etc.).
There
was another mom who also delivered a baby boy beberapa minit after Hafiya was
born. So I have to wait until the doctor attended that mom dulu before they
could release me to my room.
As soon
as I was transferred into my room, semua dah ada. My parents, my PIL dan yang
penting sekali nak jumpa adalah Khayra! There she was, tengah berkepit dengan
baby! The initial plan was Khayra akan ikut my parents balik and akan datang
semula after breakfast tapi bila dah jumpa ibu tu, dia tanak balik. So she joined
us tidur dalam ward that day. Masa release to my ward pun dah pukul 3 pagi, so
tup tap tup tap tak tidur mana dah hari tu. The baby was allowed to be with me
in the same room that night.
Pagi-pagi
esoknya, my elder brother datang visit with his family all the way from JB.
Balik nak Raya Haji, boleh jumpa niece sekali. Heheh. My youngest brother pun
datang dari Dungun. We were allowed to be discharged after lunch hour that day
dan boleh sambut Raya Haji esoknya (26.10.2012) sekali. Alhamdulillah.
All in
all, macam mimpi pun ada rasa bila bersalin ni. Situasi dan sakit berbeza tapi
as a mom tak akan lupa untuk setiap detik dan saat giving birth to them. Ni
bila menaip pun rasa fresh lagi ingatan. Terima kasih Allah, untuk hayat yang
masih ada dan pengalaman melalui jihad kecil melahirkan khalifah-Mu. Syukur untuk setiap apa yang terjadi dengan izin-Mu. Syukur untuk normal delivery and free intervention of any drugs semasa melahirkan both of Khayra and Hafiya.
We
named her Hafiya yang bermaksud sangat baik (Surah Maryam, ayat 47). I would
consider Hafiya as a survivor who is indeed an easy baby after all.
Alhamdulillah.
Sempena
hari lahir pertama Hafiya ini, ibu dan abah (serta Kakak Khayra) doakan semoga
diberi pinjam selama mungkin hayatnya kepada kami, semoga membesar menjadi anak
yang solehah dan semoga sentiasa berada di bawah rahmat Allah.
Amin.
