Work- Drove to n fro..hubbs had a meeting in Ganu...put one of my BFF on standby...(thank god for BFF's) hihih...after work..drove to SIL..attended a small gathering/kenduri to send her MIL for Hajj...met hubbs there then drove back home...

27th Oct 2010 (tuesday)

Woke up..dressed for work..drank my morning milo..then felt like "malas" plus felt like there was a bug in my tummy trying to get out... decided to take mc.. wen hubbs woke up..asked him to take me to our GP..told her i felt gassy in my abdomen but the wind wud not make its way out.....she told me to be cautious..coz it cud lead to contractions..

All day long relaxed at home..went for a short lunch with SIL n her hubby..slept..then towards evening felt like i was having a mild contraction..(but x brapa sure..coz before ths with harris i was induced so i was a little blur on how contractions was suppose to feel like..(boley??))

Around 8pm my mucus plug made its appearance with streaks of blood..pain was stilll bearable..did a quick research on the net, it says that even if u hav mucus..it mite still be a long way..it cud even take weeks..so i relaxed..prayed..had dinner...9ish..called my amateur gynae " ika" ... to make sure tht ths was contractions..hahhah

at around 10 ish..called SDMC...told them abt my condition..they said..if u cant bear with the pain..or there's bleeding u can come..so i tried to sleep..asked hubbs to monitor my contractions..everytime it came id squeeze his arm..at that point it was like 5 minutes apart..yet still bearable..we were contemplating on when we shud go to d hospital..hubbs said..we'll c until 12 am..but around 11ish i felt the contractions had gotten slightly stronger.. i was thinking about the wonders of having pethedine to ease the pain..so told hubbs..i think i wanna go now...so there we were with my hospital stuff still incomplete n harris jumping around thinking we were goin for another regular checkup..we packed...n left my bam bam who was wailing... wanting to follow us..i was heartbroken...

arrived at SDMC lobby at around 12am..waited for hubbs to park..n then we walked to the labor room..even refusing the wheelchair (konon terrorlah..hahah) had to stop upon every contraction...the midwife who greeted us..was a young sarawakian girl..she was nice..asked me to change as she wanted to check my dilation...

Was expecting to hear 3 or 4 cm the most but was suprised that she said sudah 6-7cm dah..godness!..me n hubbs looked at each other n laughed..cos we initially wanted to wait ..hahah very not funny..i cud hav delivered at home..so thru the chaos of preparing for my delivery..n calling for my gynae which arrived at around 12.35am...i was still able to bear with the contractions until i was 9.5cm dilated at that point i started moaning.. they gav me the gas..which helped me from screaming my lungs out..it was as expected..painful..

1248am..my 2nd baby..HAZIR MOHD RIZAL was born weighing 3.25kg..syukur alhamdulillah.......n this time round..because it happened so fast hubbs had no time to hide behind the curtain (he did this when we had harris as my gynae asked him if he was ok..which he responded to not being able to stand blood..so he was shooed out of the delivery room)..alhamdulillah he was there from the beginning till end..by 2.45am i was wheeled out to my room..n the first thing i wanted was bread..i was hungry..but there was no bread around..we (me n hubbs) tried sleeping but cudnt... i guess we were so suprised that the baby came so soon n it happened so fast..2 weeks before my actual EDD..but praise to ALLAH that it happened ths way...just at the rite time..wen hubbs had returned from outstation..

Thank you all for visiting..for congratulating..n prayers...it was much appreciated... my heartiest n highest thanks to my family..especially my SIL for taking care of bam bam during the nite we were at the hospital n to my MIL.. there are no words that can describe how thankful i am to her for taking care of me like her own daughter during my confinement..thank you..may allah bless her with life's kindness..n after life.to my parents..tq for their non stop prayers for me..mom even prayed tahajud n hajat when she knew i was in labor i delivered rite after she finished.. :-)...n to my hubby...if u ever find time to read this..thank you..sooo much..for everything that u've done...i feel so blessed to hav u...my mr ice cool blended...

...thou many say it was a breeze delivery for me..i still am contemplating whether to hav another..hahah...painful woo..n so now im recuperating at home on my 8th day...good news is that my tukang urut said..i can go out by my 36th day..but still hav to to do the pantang ritual till the 44th...yahooo!!!!!!!..
