But everything changes when motherhood comes along!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17796671130170798695noreply@blogger.comBlogger30125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698915553790381629.post-73390711425653249982013-01-20T02:36:00.000-08:002013-01-20T03:35:28.232-08:00Reminiscence the Birth of Dhiya ZahraEven though my dear daughter is almost 3 now, i'm inspired to write my experience birthing her some while ago. it was a natural birth without me knowing anything about gentle birth. well, there are a few things that are not normal actually but overall I'm quite satisfied with the experience. hoping my second time turns out better than this..<br />
<br />
I was warded under 'false labour' at 38 weeks. i thought it was the real thing. had check up at local Klinik Desa and told the nurse the contractions i was having. she then referred me to GH immediately. so then i went to GH and never thought that i was going to be warded. the doctor did a Vaginal Examination (VE) and found out that i was only 1 cm dilated but still insisted that i be warded.<br />
<br />
To be honest, i had such a bad experience in GH. my bed n 3rd class was actually an extra bed that they just add to the walkway of the maternity ward. i was extremely not comfortable. my bed was actually touching the bed beside me and i could not even move the curtain because the beds were extremely close! also, hearing other mommies cried and moaned in pain scared me a lot.<br />
<br />
After Maghrib, the nurse told me that there was a vacant bed in the 2nd class ward n i was moved there. the environment was a bit better there and i could relax a bit.<br />
<br />
My husband who was teaching in a rural area in Sabah was on the way to his school at that time. he was in KLIA waiting for his flight to Kota Kinabalu. he did not take the flight but took the one heading to K Trg instead and arrived at about 11 pm. he went straight to the hospital to see me. Unfortunately, the female guard was very angry that my hubby would came to see me that late. she at last allowed my hubby to visit me but ONLY with her presence between us! she could hear everything that we said! she surely would not give us the privacy that we needed. i only met my hubby for a bout 5 mins and spent the whole night by myself, scared and wanting to go home badly.<br />
<br />
The next day, i was allowed to go back home since i wasn't making any progress. was so happy that time. we then make the decision not to deliver in GH but instead tried to survey other birthing centres in town.<br />
<br />
We decided to birth at Klinik Rawatan Keluarga. we had an appointment with Dr. Wan, and discussed ways to kick start my labour since my hubby is already in town and of course i wanted him to be there when im in labour! she then stripped my membrane (boy, it hurt soooo bad!!) to speed things up. the day after, i had my 'bloody show', my mucus plug dislodged itself when i was in the bathroom.<br />
<br />
A few days later, labour did not start. we decided to take a walk on the beach, walk around my parent's house (20 rounds of walking on 1/4 acres of land!) till i was really exhausted and cannot walk no more. that midnight, i began to start having strong surges (contraction) while doing nipple stimulation. they were around 5 minutes apart with every surges lasted about a minute each. at first, i didn't want to wake my hubby up. i handled the contractions myself for about 2 hours until we decided to call the birthing centre. the birthing centre asked us to come immediately. i postponed for 2 more hours until it was around 4am in the morning.<br />
<br />
once there, the dr did a VE and told me that i was only 3cm dilated. i was kinda dissapointed. furthermore, a nurse told me that it would take me a long time to deliver. maybe around noon. great. just the encouragement i needed.<br />
<br />
i remember how i control each contraction without tensing my muscle. i was trying to relax even though i didn't know a thing about gentle birth at this time. but i do understand the principle that the more tense your muscles are, the more harder it is for your uterus to dilate, and i was right :)<br />
<br />
at around 5.30 am, i was having really painful contractions. my mom asked the doctor to do a VE again to check how i was progressing. turns out i was 5 cm dilated. that's quite fast for a 1st time mom like me! the doctor then broke my water to further speed things up. i was then sent again to my room. at around 7am, i was admitted to the labour room n was 8 cm dilated. i felt the sensation to push but the dr asked me to hold back n wait for 10cm dilation. that was so unbearable to me because the urge to push was soo strong. the dr didn't perform episiotomy on me. i remember asking her about it but she said KKM did not encourage private birthing centre to perform it. i was a bit scared to tear naturally but now, im soo glad she didn't do it!<br />
<br />
at last, i was 10cm dilated n beginning to push. hubby was so great n encouraging. he was my hero at that time. i mostly listen to his soothing voice. i didnt pinch or did any bodily harm to him since i was trying to not tense my muscle. i pushed just as how the doctor instructed me. my energy was kinda low at that time. it took me about 4-5 push (i think) to get Zahra out. i even cried out spontaneously once.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, Dhiya Zahra was born naturally without drugs or episiotomy, healthy n full of hair. actually that was my first question - baby ada rambut tak? LOL. i dunno y i was so concern on having a girl with lots of hair :p. the doctor cut the cord almost immediately after showing the baby to me. i had 3 minor stitches and the dr stiched me up in no time. i birthed my placenta with no problem a few minutes later. my baby was then be bought to the scale, a bath and a formula feeding before being handed to me. it was a pleasurable birth and i would be happy to experience it again.<br />

<br />
although i love my birthing experience and would not complain much, here is the list of what i would like to improve this time around:<br />
<br />
- No stripping of membrane<br />
- No artificial rupture of membrane<br />
- No coach pushing but breathing down the baby instead<br />
- To be allowed to experiment on different birthing position that feels right for me<br />
- To allowed baby to skin-to-skin contact and latch on instantly<br />
- No formula feeding (unless i don't produce any breast milk yet)<br />
- Delayed cord clamping until it stop pulsating<br />
<br />
Cant belive my little girl has grown up to be so big now! i LOVE u so much Zahra.<br />

- to not sound too 'know-it-all' mcm i know better than my doctor<br />
- to not make anyone including the nurses tersinggung<br />
- to not sound so demanding n childish<br />
- to sound gentle n polite<br />
- to make sure i allow some alternatives in case things do not happen the way i want it to happen<br />
<br />
basically, this is what i want:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 0.21in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-
No scheduled vaginal examination unless really necessary.<br />-

necessary.<br />-
Allowed to birth in any position I feel comfortable</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.21in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- No drugs to expedite placenta delivery for I wanted it to spontaneously be delivered by itself.</div>
<div style="line-height: 0.21in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Immediate breastfeeding to encourage placenta delivery<br />-
Immediate and long skin-to-skin contact of baby and me</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.21in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-

<br />
purchased this book during the end of second semester from www.bookdepository.co.uk (free worldwide shipping!) after failing to find it in MPH stores. plus its way cheaper than buying from the store but u only have to wait a while for it to arrive. mine took about 7-10 days.<br />
<br />
I've only finished reading it about 2 weeks ago. I know im a bit late in my preparation towards gentle birth but thats better than knowing nothing, right?<br />
<br />
whats covered in this book:<br />
<br />
- how to overcome fear of childbirth<br />
- how fear translate to difficulties during birth<br />
- how our uterus works during surges (contractions)<br />
- breathing methods - slow breathing, sleep breathing and birth breathing<br />
- visualisation methods for relaxation<br />
- exercises for preggy mommies<br />
- birthing positions<br />
- the benefits of Kegel exercise, perineal massage, etc<br />
- example of birth plan<br />
- so much more<br />

<br />
so if you have traumatic birth or just wanted to experience orgasmic birth (yes, it can happen!), you got to try read this book.<br />
<br />
there's one thing i would really want to do but have no rezeki so far is to attend one of the classes offered. most of them are in KL btw. would make do with the book and internet.<br />
<br />

Ive calculated thiS myself n my EDD is on 7th Feb 2013. Oh well our birthdays are all so close apart.. Im now 10weeks preggy n been having tons of morning sickness symptoms. Morning to night sickness. Im hoping for a boy but im ok with a girl.. But my mom n dad esp wants a guy in the family. There are sure lots of girls in our house!
As for Zara, i think its true what they say, pe'el bertambah2 bile kakak nak adik. She constantly ask me to dukung her. It sure is challenging being pregnant with a toddler around. Nasib baik i have my wonderful wonderfl husband around. He does all the cooking (only occasionally cos i cant stand the smell of anything cooked in oil!), laundry, tKing care or Zara. I cant even change her diaper cos the smell is too much for my nose. Im currently using dispo cos cant stand the smell when it comes to laundry time. Hope its only teporary n i'll be able to use cloth diapers again in my second trimester..
Im now looking for unscented shampoo n shower gel cos i cant stand the smell of once-very-fragrant toileteries!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17796671130170798695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698915553790381629.post-2681646483823291072012-04-03T03:21:00.001-07:002012-04-03T03:49:40.635-07:0035oz challenge - the resultok, this post is not anything grand like the title at all.hehe.<br />

Should i be worried? Bought a pregnancy test kit just now but waiting for the morning to use it since i heard that thats the most effective time to test. Could it be from the fenugreek pills im taking? It doesnt state to have that side effect on the bottle but logically the pills would stimulates the lactating glands thus making the uterus contract which means the period would be affected? Not sure. Personally, i dont feel a bit like pregnant so im not really worried. Well, we'll see how the test goes tomorrow. And i might ask the seller about this..<br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17796671130170798695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698915553790381629.post-86267472416850154232011-11-21T00:37:00.001-08:002011-11-21T01:12:46.327-08:0035oz Challenge- ReviewedManaged to collect 2oz of EBM yesterday and got about 2.7oz today. Why lebih today? Sebab mommy cheated and pumped at 3.30pm! that's not lunch break.. Tapi dah bos ajak makan luar and belanja xkan nak tolak rezeki..hehe<br />
<div>
<br />
So total EBM in stock is now about 9oz. I am reviewing this challenge again and that is because of a few reasons:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>There's only 14 more working days to go</li>
<li>Zahra don't really drink that much nowadays</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
so i have decided to just stock up for 4 oz per day for 7 days which is amounting to 28oz.. </div>
<div>
my new initial goal would be 30oz. i think that's a nice enough target, isn't it? </div>
<div>

Used to do it daily but stopped when Zahra was about 10 months old due to too much workload and of course the inevitable penyakit 'M' . Why am i pumping again after such a long time? If everything goes as planned, I'll be going to Perth, Australia for a week for a business trip in mid of Dec, InsyaAllah.. What worries me the most is that Zahra won't be having her daily intake of breastmilk (no matter how little they are rite now). So I'm stocking up rite now even though i only got merely 2oz from pumping just now! Was a bit shocked but what do I expect after taking a break for wayy too long..<br />
<br />
OK so I'm proposing myself a challenge here.. My target is to stock up about 35oz of EBM to cover 7 days of separation. That means Zahra will be having 5oz per day, or a bottle a day. Yes, she doesn't drink a lot of milk for every feeding.<br />
<br />
Yesterday did manage to pump, got about 2.5oz, tambah dgn today's hasil 2oz, means I'm starting with just about 4.5oz. Will be taking breaks during the weekends cos Zahra would be direct fed almost 24hours including at night.. Can I really do this???<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>So 1 thing that i am very proud of her is that she can talk. A LOT. she just repeats what everybody says. ok, here's a quick list of her fav words:</div><div><br />
</div><div>mama (mummy)</div><div>dede (daddy)</div><div>nek (nenek)</div><div>tak (supposed to be mummy ha, my little sis but she's so used to hearing us call her kakak)</div><div>tek (cat)</div><div>bek (bird)</div><div>bo (ball)</div><div>tup (tutup)</div><div>tuh (jatuh)</div><div>do (tido)</div><div>taaakkk (chakkk as in auu chak)</div><div>when we say alif, she says 'baa' (means it's time to open up the 'my fist quran' iphone apps)</div><div>boh (tok abah) </div><div>yoyo ( as in rapping)</div><div>.. and everything else we say!</div><div><br />
</div><div>besides, she also loves to imitate us. like my gamelan practice (when she would sway her hand like 'usop wilcha of hantu kak limah balik rumah), dancing to everything, sujud when she sees us solat, reciting the azan, etc..</div><div><br />
</div><div>and lately, she can walk! a few short steps but she's getting there. </div><div><br />
</div><div>sayang Zahra, mummy is soo proud of u and wishes u good health all the time. She also loves u soo much. semoga jadi seorang anak yang solehah dan berjaya ye sayang!</div><div><br />

It was in fact in my wishlist. Read them everywhere online. But since there's no decent baby store in Kuala Terengganu then, I had never tried one. So, after getting myself addicted to cloth diaper through <a href="http://www.diapersasia.com/forum/index.php">Diaper Asia</a>, i had come to know more about babywearing gears and how they can help parents to bond with their babies while doing other chores @multitasking. i came to know the many kind of babywearing gears, including pouch, ring sling, wrap, mei tai and soft structure carrier.</span></span><br />

It also must be versatile and can be worn by both me (petite-size) and my husband (large-framed) with minimum adjustment. The material (especially the body panel) need to be made from breathable material so that both the parents and child would stay cool despite our warm weather. The hood also comes with variety of choices such as meshed hood for hot indoor activities, regular hood for sunny days or with waterproof layer such as PUL for those short unexpected dashes in the rain where you forgot to bring your umbrella (or when the PUL prints are just too cute to resist :) )</span></span></span><br />

It should also could be used multiple ways such as front carry when baby is fussy, back carry for longer trip, or hip carry. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">t should be folded into a bag so that it can easily be carried or stored when not in used.

Ok, so it all began with my googling over things to buy for Zahra while I was still pregnant. Read about it but haven't seen it in real life. Then, saw one at a local baby store here in Trg. They only sell Autumnz CDs. so I bought 1 red CD, thinking that I might as well try first, without committing anything. As soon as I gave birth to Zahra (oh, I will tell u the story of the birth later), my mum kept asking me to just use the lampins/flat diapers instead of the handy dispos. she said ' kesian ngn baby's bottom, kena cover je'.. Being the very modern me (or malas!), I still remember thinking that lampins would be soo inconvenience. They invented the disposable diapers, why bother with something so frugal? Besides, I think I make enough money to buy my baby ample stock of dispos (ayat berlagaknye!).<br />
<br />
So, everyday, I would use dispos, switching from brand to brand untill I setteld with one of the cheapest in the market, Pampers. It works fine, despite the occasional easily-treated diaper rash. After a few months, I came across that Autmnz cloth diapers while cleaning up my room (messy, it was and still is). Tried it on Zahra, but didn't like it since the one size diaper is wayy too big on little Zahra. Also, the hook and loop closure kind of hurt Zahra's belly.<br />
<br />
After a while comfortably using dispos, me and husband started to feel the burden of buying dispos. Not only we had to fork out like about RM100 a month on dispos, we also HATE it every time we'd run out of them! My former maid was a bit clumsy and blur, so she would only notify me when we really ran out of them.<br />
<br />
So, i started to do the math of cloth diapering and disposable diapering Zahra. I've even did an Excel format document to compare them (yes, I am that geeky). And yes, it did prove that cloth diapering is the economical way and can be passed down to younger siblings! and so the frenzy began! Will blog more about this addiction later!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17796671130170798695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698915553790381629.post-9622277211504228832011-02-26T17:47:00.000-08:002011-11-17T21:51:56.377-08:00Of courses n bottlesHaving a course at gem beach resort 25km from home. Started on saturday morning n will end this afternoon.thought ive bring everything i need yesterday for full day course until 11pm which includes clothes,shoes,toiletries,breast pumps( even bought 2 sets,my harmony and freestyle).. My group finished our assignment quite late during the petang session,about 6.15pm.thought of going back home but felt a lil tired n decided to just stay at friends' room untill the night session start at 8.30pm. Once ive arrived at the room n prayed my Asar prayer,went to search for my breast pump to start pumping. And to my horror,i forgot to bring bottles!!!!!! Whattthee...!? How can i pump without bottles to attach to pump? Called my husband to come send them or bring zahra so that she can nurse directly,but he was too tired plus my MIL brought Zahra jalan2. Luckily i know how to do it by hand! That's my lifesaver! I don't quite remember the name of the method,i think it's the Marmet method.nvm,i'll browse for that later.n i pump straight into the sink. It was kinda messy,but it would do.felt quite relieved eventho it hurt a bit... Im so grateful i made effort to learn the method! After the night session,went straight back hone n zahra was already waiting for me for milk. She felt asleep like 10 minutes later.then i just pumped the rest with my old trusty medela freestyle.phew!<p><br>Sent from my iPhoneAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17796671130170798695noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698915553790381629.post-82024004718173804382011-02-26T17:25:00.000-08:002011-02-26T17:26:36.100-08:00Missing uThis entry should be submitted 2days ago,but forgot the email add to my blogger acc!<br>Been away from home for the second day.now on my way to go backhome.cannot wait!kept thinking bout zahra.she had a hard time sleeping without me last 2 nites.pity my husband n MIL hv to go through them.
