Ku Na a.k.a SyawA in da haus

It’s approximately 30 minutes before the end of year 2005. Welcome year 2006!! I have had a wonderful and interesting year. Alot has happened in year 2005 and the most memorable one happened on 10 Dec 2005. My first child was born on that day and that marks the first chapter of  my new life as a mother. Let me share with you a summary of my experience on that day.

10 December 2005

7.30 a.m : I woke up because i think i felt my water bag broke. To confirm this i went to the loo and check just to make sure that it was not part of my dream. To double confirm it, i cross checked with "What to Expect When You are Expecting" book. That’s when i felt the water trickling down my leg for the second time. This is when i woke hubby up and tell him that i think i am in labor. I took my own sweet time and take a shower and pack my hospital bag.

8.00 a.m : We stopped by at Esso to get our breakfast because i was afraid that i will not have the energy to push later. That was when i felt more water trickling but i stayed calm.. (advice from the book)

8.30 a.m : Admit myself in SJMC and happily eating breakfast with hubby in the labor room. Note: No contractions yet but 2cm dilated.

10 a.m : Back contraction started. Midwives told that it is normal for contraction to start from the back and eventually move to the front. Hubby stayed with me and massaged my back.

12 noon : Back contraction got worse. I was in pain and was still holding on. Doctor Delaila advised to go for Epidural because i looked like i was in "hell". I compromised and went with the injection instead. I was still 2 cm dilated.

3 p.m : They lied!! The contraction became intense and it didn’t move to the front. I could hardly stay calm. I tried practising my breathing and it didnt really help. I was already half conscious due to the drugs earlier but i can still feel the pain. I was only about 4cm dilated.. damn!!

4 p.m : I can’t take it anymore. I need more drugs!! I asked for another shot, the most they could give me. I was already feeling the urge to push but i was not fully dilated. They gave the gas to help me cope with the pain. Doctor did not want to induce me because it will give me more pain and she was afraid that i would faint. At that time, i was already a druggie hahaha…

6 p.m : There was no way i can take the pain anymore. I was already in and out of consciousness due to high intake of drugs. I was already pushing involuntarily no matter how hard i tried not to.

8.20 p.m : It is time to push.. finally! I pushed and pushed and pushed… they saw the hair, the head but that’s it. The baby was stuck! They asked me to push harder and i pushed with all my might but it didn’t make any different. Gawd! I felt like telling them to just pull him out.. like what’s the problem people??

8.41 p.m: After all the hardwork and agony, it was all paid off with the arrival of a baby boy into the world. I was ecstatic but was also drowsy and tired. Finally, Mohamad Aydin Eidlan was born and it also marked a new chapter in my life as a mother.
