Airiel was born via emergency c-section at 4.43 pm on 20.3.2009, after more than 10 hours of labor and when the labor didn’t progress and the baby’s heartbeart was getting weaker (it’s what they call fetal distress), the doctors decided to go with the c-section.
Comments on a few things:-
1. Giving birth in HKL
Hospital Kuala Lumpur was my option because a) I know that a c-sect would be an absolute last option and b) it was husband friendly.
Amazingly, the service went beyond my expectations. I came in with contractions about 5 minutes apart..nurses were all friendly..and doctors were nice..i was 4 cm dilated so I was brought to the labor room straight away. The labor room was super comfortable, private and i had a personal nurse attending to me alone in the room at all times. The specialist made half an hour rounds and the other nurses that came in stroked my head and held my hands..
When I came to the realization that I had to go for c-sect despite all my efforts to avoid it.. the specialist held my hand and explained to me what was happening to the baby and so I agreed to undergo the procedure, I was really scared as no family members were allowed in except Aries and Aries had not yet arrived..everything then became a blur..and then the next thing I knew, I was wheeled out of the OT and was showed little Airiel.
I would recommend giving birth there..the wards maybe are not as comfortable as private hospitals.. but the nurses really took care of me and as a result, my wound is healing extremely well and i was relatively in a pain free condition during my stay.
2.Berpantang
Berpantang when you’ve undergone a ceaser ni memang susah. Tapi my mum memang strict, cuma takleh berbengkung and bertungku unti after the 15th day. Tapi ubat yang pelik, and pahit nak mampus.. I had to swallow it all.
I can only eat either daging bakar dgn lada hitam (TAKPE SEBAB SEDAP), ulaman mentah, and sup ikan haruan hari-hari (AND I DON’T EAT FISH YEA?), sayur buah semua tak boleh, because semuanya bisa according to mum. So I eat multivitamins instead.
I gained 16 kilos during my pregnancy and have managed to lose 6 kilos in 6 days. So i hope the momentum stays..tapi terasa juga bisa-bisa kat badan ni sebab takleh berurut and bertungku lagi..
3. Work
I am annoyed at Aries’s workplace, dah tahu dia cuti..pagi-pagi buta nak call and kejutkan baby..a little respect for privacy is in order people. Siap ada org yang masih suruh dia punch in kan. Weii..updatekan la diri tu skit..
I mean..seriously, he is busy enough with the baby and maklumlah aku c-sect, operation..bukan mcam normal delivery..tak bleh bergerak sesuka hati..dahla pasal keje Airies didn’t make back to join me for the delivery or the operation. Yes, yours truly was completely alone tahu tak..
Dahla tu..siap nak suruh dia balik hari Jumaat plak..ada ceremony aperntah..now that’s a lousy boss if i ever heard of one..
And if I ruffle any feathers, then good..sedar diri tu skit..blog aku..suka ati aku..nanti bila ko branak..aku harrass ko hari-hari..baru tahu langit tinggi rendah..sheesh
4. Airiel
Alhamdulillah, Airiel tak byk meragam..agaknya masa aku bercakap dengan dia dalam perut to not be naughty when he comes out as daddy lives far far away..and I need his help to be a good angel..dengar jugak dia..
Dia jarang meragam..tak meragam malam langsung..time mandi pun tak nangis, legalah skit me and Aries nak menjaganya..all we have to do is wake up every 3 hours to feed him and to check his diapers..
Takdelah sgt sindrom tak tido malam..ehehe..mama loves you sayang..and so does papa Aries..!
