A journey to become a mum

**Dah lama buat jurnal ni tapi baru berkesempatan untuk publish dalam blog sebagai kenangan first time pregnancy**

FIRST CHAPTER

This is something that I wanna share with all mommies & mommies to be..my journey and experience to become a mum.

It's positive

I was confirmed pregnant on 13/9/2009 (one day before fasting month) I remembered the day, the mixture feeling I had, not sure what it was..was it happy…worried…depressed..and most of it because I felt I was not ready to have a baby and to start a family yet…We just got married for a month, then I was shocked with this little surprised…

2 months pregnant

· My first checkup was done at Klinik Nur Aina at Wangsa Keramat.My baby still a peanut size..
· I heard his heart beating for the first time
· Sorry baby, mama still don’t have any feeling for you at this stage
· My morning sickness wasn’t so bad, I only puked in the morning (actually when I want to brush my teeth, couldn’t stand the smell & taste of toothpaste, but then…takkan la tak nak gosok gigi pulak!)
· My husband bought Anmum milk for preggy woman(satu tin besar tu)..so sweet okeh..but I couldn’t manage to drink that..at last, susu tu jadi keras and buang je..(my husband said, lepas ni jangan ngada2 nak susu lagi)

3 months pregnant

· 2nd check up still at Klinik Nur Aina, Wangsa Keramat. This was after Hari Raya
· The doc was shocked, so did I..I gained weight 6 kilos..Doc said that was excessive weight gain and I should watch my diet…normal weight gain during pregnancy is 2 kilos only..
· Not much of baby development, still so tiny but I could see his physical is formed
3 ½ months
· My right leg was swollen so bad (seriously, macam kaki gajah)
· Went to Klinik Nur Aina, the Doc was shocked too. That was rare case, usually pregnant woman got the swollen leg on at her third Trimester & she referred me to Hospital
· And yes, I gained another 2 kilos (OMG, within2 weeks?)

4 months pregnant
· Next checkup was done at Hospital Pantai Medical , Bangsar with Doc Idris.
· My baby physical is completely formed, so cute and he got me in tears..
· I started to love my baby..
· Got first pic of my baby in my womb
· I bought his first shirt (can’t wait coz baby’s stuffs are so damn cute, didn’t really care about all those pantang not to buy baby’s stuffs until you reach 7 months)

5 months pregnant
· Another checkup with Doc Idris, he announced that it is a boy.(as my hubby wish)
· Felt my baby first kick
· Yes, of course another kilos of weight gained

6 months pregnant
· My baby was fine, Doc Idris said when we went for the monthly check up – “anak awak sangat kuat, jantung dia berdegup macam kuda” and my hubby remembered the line until now..

7 months pregnant
· Nothing much happened, the baby was fine
· I thought my baby was being lazy, he didn’t move so much..

8 months pregnant
· One day, my baby stop moving..I was so damn worried..went to Hosp Pantai Medical for CTG
· Once I laid my body on bed for CTG, there he go..my baby started kicking around like mad
· Nurses there laughed at me, yelah..what should I do..I was so damn scared okeh, doesn’t matter my RM melayangpon, as long as my baby was ok..I couldn’t bear if anything happen to my baby
· Started to feel the fake contraction..sakit2 manja gitu..

9 months pregnant (36 weeks)
· Change Hospital to Hospital Pusrawi with Doc Habibah
· Started weekly check up, at this stage I really tak larat carrying my belly around..wish that he would pop out soon..

28th Apr 2008 @ 38 weeks
· Felt the contraction but not so heavy..went to see Doc Habibah for check up
· First time ‘kena jolok’(sorry, bad word ;))..sangat ngeri okeh..
· Doc said ‘jalan baru bukak ½ cm’,what????
· 29th -30th Apr@38 weeks
· Was given MC by doc, just stay at home
· Sempat lagi blender lada hitam, untuk bekalan dalam pantang
· I experienced small repetitive discharge, thought I was pee in pants..whoooppsss…

2nd May 2008@38 weeks
· It was Friday and I still went to work, I surprised my staff for being at office
· Told my friends at about my little experienced, they said it was my water leakage, oowwwh really ?and I should hurry to hospital…
· Went to see doc at office clinic, the doc advised me to go hospital, got MC and went straight to home, still hesitated
· 2pm after lunch, take a anap, woke up in the evening & still thinking
· Discussed with husband and we decided to go to hospital
· 6pm on the way to hospital, ehh wait, Friday got Pasar Malam at Sentul
· Dropped by at pasar malam bought Koew Tiaw and Tau Foo Fah
· Ate in car, sebab takut nurse tak kasi makan dalam ward..lagipon takut kempunan sebab lepas ni pantang 2 bulan
· @9pm – Dr Habibah did the check up on me, and confirmed that I had the water leakage
· Been induced (untuk cepat kan proses bersalin) and then started my long hours labour (almost 17hrs)

3rd May 2008
· @12 pm -The contraction began harder after Doc habibah broke my water and sakitnye……fuhhhh* to whom that ever experienced it saje yg tahu
· I couldn’t stand it any longer, in fact after my water broke, the path still open @4cm..but the labour pain was unbearable
· Yeahhh, epidural was my savior..everything ran smoothly after that
· And then sharp on 1457 hours my baby was safely delivered, welcome to the world my little hero!(when the nurse put my son on my chest, the first thing I did was counting his fingers…hehehe..nasib baik cukup 10!)
