I've been planning on writing this for ages... and only now I have the chance to do so...
Refreshing my mind....
My EDD was on 27 of July 2010, so we planned to head for Kelantan on the 22nd. Normally, I delivered within the 40th week of pregnancy, so our plan to hit the road on the 22nd was right. Unfortunately, on the 17th morning, I felt like I was having a contraction. But I thought it was nothing. So, we went out shopping as planned. I still felt the contraction though, sometimes.
When we got home that evening, we planned to head for Kelantan that night. But we were unsure whether that was the best decision to make. So we called mama to ask for her opinion. She told us to stay in KL. So, we went to the clinic instead to check on the baby, and guess what... I bleed! We chose to deliver the baby at Damansara Damai Medical Centre, the same clinic where I had Anis, but they wont take me coz I have no record there.
We had no other choice than to deliver the baby at Hospital Sungai Buloh... oh no!... government hospital?? our final choice! had to, not because we wanted to.... huhuhu....
First, we had to get someone to come over to accompany the kids. My brother couldn't come coz he had plans. So, we had to ask for my hubby's brother and his wife to come instead. Fortunately, they were available. So, we waited for them to come before going to the hospital.
They arrived at midnight. After everything had been settled, we went to the hospital. Done with the registration, I was warded. Hubby wasn't allowed to go in with me, so he had to wait outside :(
I stayed up all night, thinking whether or not to deliver the baby that night or just wait for tomorrow. I didn't know whether hubby was still waiting outside or he'd gone home to the kids. There was no way of knowing coz I couldn't get in touch with him... so difficult...
So I waited....
The next morning, I got a roommate, a Hindu. Then, the doctors came by. After they check her, they realize that her baby was breech. So they had to operate her, fast coz she was beginning to have contraction. Poor girl! She was crying when the doctors took her out of the room.
I too had felt the contraction since Subuh, but I was afraid that hubby wasn't there yet, so I waited, again... but I couldn't stand it anymore, it was noon... so I let the nurse check on me. She said it was time. So I asked her to alert my hubby. Luckily he was there!
In the labor room, after the doctor ruptured my amniotic, he gave me an hour before I give birth. So, he left me with the nurses. What he didn't know that, normally I would give birth in no time if I had my amniotic ruptured.
Few minutes after, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I was attended by the nurses. And when the doctor finally came back, everything had been settled! Syukur... coz the doctor wasn't only a MALE, but also not a MALAY!
After my baby was given a bath, he was put in my arms. And together we were brought to the ward. It was a new experience to me. And after ensuring that I had everything I need, hubby had to leave :(
Couldn't sleep that night... not because of the pain, but because I had to look after my baby.... I wanted to make sure that he was safe.... stories I heard about stolen baby worried me... Better didn't have enough sleep than having my baby taken away.....
The next morning, had to wait all day long to go home... couldn't wait any longer.... bored to death!
Was allowed to go home that evening.... Let's go home my newest bundle of joy....
