Positive vibes needed ! Dah lama bebenor tak menulis, kelas plak dah lama tamat. I am kinda lose the confidence plak. Agagaga ;p Entah ingat entah tidak amenda aku blaja masa kat kelas hari tu. Btw, went for my 36 weeks check-up this morning. Alhamdulillah, baby is doing great, heartbeat is strong and stable, eyes movement sgt rapid, and dah practise jadi ahli sukan kot asyik kicking and moving around. Sometimes sampai senak dibuatnya ;) Alhamdulillah baby dah pusing ke bawah, but mengadap ke atas (Posterior). Berdoa bnyk-bnyk later baby akan mengadap ke bawah (Anterior). Amin..Sebab OP position akan menyebabkan effacement menjadi perlahan. So kalau aku give up nanti acanne. Huargh.  

Well kelas ke-4 and ke-5 n0, Nadine combined in one session. Sebab the 5th class tu more to wrap up everything that we learnt from the 1st -4th class. 4th class emphasized the role of the birth companion (read : husband lah yg paling relevant here, Unless you will bring your own doula into the labor room). Few take aways :

- Husband needs to know the hospital setting, The remeh-temeh thing like if you go to the E&A directly, mana kau nak park kereta? Ada ke temporary parking at that area, or macam manakah? Sounds so remeh, tapi bila fikir balik, dah few times pegi HPKL, aku pun tak sure E&A kat mana. Agagaga ;p

- Upon arrival to the hospital, apa yg husband kena buat ? Make sure to minimise all the admin stuffs. Sign itu ini segala bagai sepatutnya very very minimal. The first thing to tell the nurse, is the birth preference sheet. Dr might have put it in the file, but better to bring extra just in case file dr tu sampai lambat ke hape ke tgn nurse. Once masuk labour room, husband kena lah set the environment -dim light, pasang rainbow CD, ayar Quran, set the temperature ikut mana yg wife comfortable, hang up the signage kalau nak bebetul make sure dpt privacy, igtkan wife to snack, igtkan wife pegi toilet etc.. Bnyk ok kerja husband sebenarnya. Bukan setakat pegang tgn and bagi baju utk ditarik & dirabakkan ;p Especially during the transition phase, husband's support & love are very very important. Back rub, encouragements, ensure the wife stay positive, strong & relax.. etc etc.

- We also practised macam mana nak ease the labour in various position bersama-sama dgn husband. The best position is of course to work with the gravity. Squat, bersila, berpaut pd hubby, on all four etc etc etc. Semua segan segan oke nak practise,padehal ngan laki sendiri kan. Wahhaha. And also we practised the cakap-cakap masa hypnobirth (by husband), and dah agak dah, aku gelak all the way when MNI tried to hypnotised me. It did not work sebab aku dengar suara & intonasi dia macam tok pawang mana jah. Kahakhka. But Nadine said takpe, gelak ketawa jugak bagus to ease the labour. Well sepatutnya suara & intonasi MNI must be soothing enough to bring me to deep relaxation state, tapi nan ado ye. Kehkehke pasrah.

- To layan the surge macam waves gitu. Don't fight it, but ride on with it.

- To delay in going to the hospital. When contractions reach 5-1-1, then that's the best time to go. But of course it depends on your location from the hospital jugak. Kalau jauh bebenor, then make a wise decision when to go. (5-1-1 is contraction that lasts for 1 min, repeat/regular in every 5 mins, that have been lasting/in regular interval for 1 hour)

- To try various position in labour. Lying down is not the only option that you have. In fact it is the worst because path pada kedudukan itu adalah paling susah baby nak lalu. Feel free to try other positions and normally mommies will know which position is the most comfortable and the best to ease delivery.

- Options if labour slows down--> Normally sebab mommies sendiri yg stress, baby in OP position etc. Don't go for artificial induction straight away (my mistake masa delivered Aryan dulu). Discuss with Obgyn to rupture the membrane dulu. The intent is bila air ketuban dah keluar, it is easier for baby to engage sebab dah takde water support. Tapi bila dah pecah ketuban kena avoid VE supaya takde infection. 

- And bila near completion tu, mommies mesti tau punya baby dah nak keluar. Boleh rasa the ring of fire. And don't push baby out. Instead breath out. And this time sgtlah important to visualise macam mana path baby nak kuar. Masa thinning & opening tu, visualise lah the red petals, blue ribbon etc. Ni semua blajar dalam kelas, susah plak nak explain sini.

Itu je yg aku igt. Bnyk sgt benda nak share tapi taktau macam mana nak tulis. Uuuu.

We have shared and discussed our birth preferences with Dr Idora. She said takde benda pelik-pelik pun yg aku mintak, as semuanya standard je bagi dia. Alhamdulillah. But I forgot to include our preference kalau c-sect is absolutely necessary. Takpelah next check up boleh discuss. Memanglah kalau boleh by all means nak avoid keluar ikut tingkap, but kita hanya merancang kan. Dia yang Maha Berkuasa dan Mengatahui apa yg terbaik utk kita. 

Sharing our birth preferences : (Ni stok print screen, gila buruk quality. Ehhe. The original one Dr Idora dah cop & agreed and simpan dalam file)

Oklah. Please pray for my ease & safe delivery. Amiinn.

p/s : dah start kemas-kemas brg baby. Last week I brought my Freestyle nak pegi service sebab suction dah slow melow. Ye lah heavy duty masa time Aryan dulu. Sekali service centre reject sebab dah keluar black dust ! Stress sgt oke. Diorang taknak service and aku nampak macam jalan yg ada ialah to get a new Freestyle. Waddehh. Nanges mak.Later lah I post pasal Freestyle ni, the US version yg tak compatible with Msia (yg guna Sweden nya specs) etc. 

Currently reading ...

this.. !

 

 

Seriously I feel like a first time mom pulak.. Kehkehkhe. Dulu takde nya sibuk nak baca buku hape bagai. Takpelah, nobody is perfect to ever stop learning, yes? Kalau dulu kita main redah ikut suka, this time around kita bagi ada knowledge, sikit pun takpe if tak bnyk. At least kalau things did not turn like what I desire/plan, I have sedikit knowledge to tanya itu ini, knapa nak buat itu ini, why not this procedure instead of that, what if we do it this way or that way..yada yada yada. Sekurang-kurangnya kalau end up I have to be cut-open, aku tahu benda itu betul-betul medically needed and dah try benda-benda lain yang sepatutnya. Kan yang paling penting, mommy and baby selamat and in good health. Amin.

 

In addition to the take-aways from the previous class, I think I missed some important points.

 

Induction

What is the reason induction to speed up labour ni menyebabkan sakit yg much more painful compared to natural labour?

The hormon yang menyebabkan surges/waves/contractions is called oxytocin. If we wait until the natural surges strike in, meaning the brain yang bagi sign to produce the oxytoxin which means your body is ready to be in labour. At the same time, the brain will also tell the body to release endorphin - this is the natural painkiller that blocks the reception of pain in our body.This hormon levels up when we are warm, happy,feeling loved, supported and not frightened. The amount is just nice to make both hormons working together. So bila surges dtg, the endorphin akan adapt with it.

 

On the other hand, if we introduce pitocin or any artificial induction to speed up labour, obviously the body is not ready yet. The brain tak tahu pun surges dah ada and it will not tell the body to produce the endorphin. So maknanya surges dtg menggila ni, tapi our body does not release any painkiller. Hence the unbearable sakit-ness and of course we will end up asking for drugs.

 

And there are many ways to speed up labour naturally. Maybe boleh try cara-cara ini dulu, kalau tak jalan jugak and boleh affect baby and/or mommy, then baru go for artificial induction. Hugs, nipple stimulation, walk, squat, makan pedas, acupuncture etc. The most effective way is to stay calm and cuddle with husband (lain org lain cara effective ways dia) - hugs, kisses, stimulation ni semua akan menghasilkan oxytoxin. It's the same hormon when you make love. Maka surges boleh dtg naturally inshaAllah. But of cos la kau kena discuss dgn Obgyn - to have privacy, dim light, nurses to knock the door before entering, etc. Kang tak pasal nurse masuk bilik kau tgh beraksi plak. Kahkahkah ;p 

 



Episiotomy

3 years back episiotomy was a routine kat sini. Maknanya, kau perlu atau tak, tetap kena episiotomy. But now kadar nya dah menurun 30%. Means, kalau necessary, baru kena gunting. Which is good. I thought dulu-dulu lah, kalau kene episiotomy luka akan cepat baik sebab gunting cantik je straight kan. But actually bila gunting, dia akan across muscles and kemungkinan lambat sikit baik lah luka itu. Compared to natural tear, dia akan koyak mengikut aliran and urat2 muscle. So senang sikit nak baik. Paham ke dok eh ayat ni. Whatever lah. But the the best is of cos takyah gunting lah and takde tear.

 

Kalau tak episiotomy, muscle yg elastic kat situ akan squeeze baby naturally masa baby nak keluar tu. So lendir, liquid kat baby tu akan di-squeeze out naturally. Compared kalau dah kena gunting, baby keluar blooppp cenggitu. Takde nya elastic muscle to hold and squeeze out. Sebab tu kena rajin buat kegel dan jugak perineum massage. Herm self-reminder. Serious aku pemalas.

 

 

 

Ok dah. Di hari terakhir 2013 ni org semua cerita pasal highlights in 2013 dan azam tahun baru. Aku malas lah pulak. Every year azam pun sama je. Eheh.

 

Tapi additional to azam-azam yang tahun-tahun lepas tu, aku berazam utk lebih berjimat cermat in 2014. Eco(nomics) year katanya. Memacam cara harus buat - cook more at home, less makan luar, tutup suis the whole rumah while we are out, bawak keta Myvi gi kerja to save fuel, orked putih bawak gi jalan jauh je, gi pasar pepagi buta on Saturday to beli lauk seminggu instead beli kat Jusco every 3 days.. haa terasa enough the tekanan ekonomi? Kakhakha. Kesian lah kat middle class income kan. Ditelan mati emak, diluah mati bapak. Serious weh, season parking aku naik from RM210 per month kepada RM270 starting January 2014. Itu baru parking okkkeeeeee. Apehal parking pun nak naik harga aku pun tak paham. Padahal tahun lepas baru naik harga.Ergh.

 

Happy New Year all :)

Hermm tak habes-habes lagi issue unassisted homebirth kat FB. My advice to those condemning AMANI & gentle birthing group tu, please get your facts right. DO NOT rely on Mr Google & FB as your only source of information. Please read relevant books, talk to the experts , go to classes, ask different people with different experience (don't assume ala aku boleh je beranak senang, control pernafasan etc. so apsal mommies lain kepoh sgt nak gentle birth yada..yada..yada), if you can do it easily, it does not mean other people could do it too. Different people will experience it differently. Even setiap anak yang dilahirkan sebagai khalifah pun semuanya lain-lain dari segi perkembangan etc. kan ? Ini kan pulak setiap ibu yang bakal melahirkan. Maka, please respect other people who choose this option. At least, kau kaji selidik, do research, get FAIR & ACCURATE information from both perspectives. Then kau boleh lah kondem secara berilmu. 

 

Ini yang ramai masih keliru antara natural birth, gentle birth, hypnobirth, water birth, attended homebirth & unassisted homebirth ----- lepas tu kau punya lah hebat jadik keyboard warriors. Gitu kekdahnya. Typical Malaysian ;p Not saying aku dah cukup ilmu bagai, nope. I am still learning. Classes pun tak habes lagi. Ada few books pun still tak habis baca lagi.  Baru berbincang dengan Obgyn pun baru 2-3 orang Obgyn sahaja. So sama-sama lah belajar ok. Fair enough.

 

Few take-aways from our 3rd class:

 

- A lot of mothers sangat freak-out kalau dah sampai EDD, tapi still tak bersalin lagi. It's like 'abnormal' kalau kau terlepas EDD tu. Coming back to the definition itself = EDD ialah Estimated/Expected Delivery Date. So memang kekdahnya date tu estimate sahaja. It can be in the range of 38-42 weeks. Because the EDD is based on your menstrual cycle of 28 days and you conceive on the 14th day. But tak semua org mengalami cycle 28 hari and yakin kah anda, yang kau conceive pada hari ke-14? Tak kan... So kalau katakan dah 40 weeks takde tanda nak melahirkan, tak semestinya kau kena menyerah diri utk kena induce or scheduled C-sect. You can always discuss with the Obgyn utk tunggu up to 42 weeks. The key thing here is - you have the option to request to wait until 42 weeks. Kenalah discuss dgn Obgyn anda.

 

- Ini ada kena mengena with artificial induction of labor. As I mentioned in previous entry, induction of labor ni ada snow ball effects. Selalunya org akan go for induction because of few reasons - i) passing your EDD ii) air ketuban pecah iii) nak tarikh yang cantik. Ni sebab2 yang general lah. Yang sebab medically neeeded, conditions mommy & baby itu semua kena ada specific discussion with your Obgyn. Macam kes air ketuban pecah ni pun, actually you can still wait, not to induce labour. Tapi kena avoid VE sebab VE itu yang akan menyebabkan infection. Imagine putting fingers / rodok-rodok masa air ketuban dah leaking or pecah, memang akan ada risk of infection. But of course kena discuss dgn your Obgyn.

 

- And the VE itu pun not necessary to do it every freaking hour. Ini kejap-kejap nurse dtg nak merodok-rodok. Hahaa. Talking about my experience masa 1st delivery dulu lah. It does not matter if I am 2,4,6 cm dilated pun. As long as aku boleh control & manage the pain, breath properly, have freedom to move around, makan & minum for energy, I think dah ok dah. Ni baru nak bernafas and control breathing, dah nak kena VE. Haih lahh. The key thing here is - you have the option to request for minimal VE.

 

- Mothers' instinct is always right. Trust your body. You don't need a 'pushing team' to ask you to push the baby out. Macam masa deliver Aryan, I knew the baby was crowning & 'the ring of fire' thingy which baby dah nak keluar sgt-sgt. But the nurses semua tak bagi aku push because it was not the 'time' yet. But I knew it- knew it- knew it for sure baby was about to come out. There you go the 'terpancut' story. Haaha. Poor Aryan. So let your body working for & with you.

 

- Kena prepare your body for a gentle birth. Exercise for stamina, eat right yada..yada..yada.. Aaah I am pretty sure all mothers know it. Rajin buat kegel exercise to tone up muscles kat situ, and also perineal massage helps a lot to make your otot-otot elastic. And oh gym ball also helps a lot to make you sit upright & leaning forward position. And also selalu basuh toilet so that you squat a lot :) Teehehe. And oh ini juga bagus utk mengelakkan episiotomy.

 

- Birth plan is an option so that the doctor and nurses know what your preferences are. Be specific, keep it short & sweet :) It is not to tell the doctor & nurses of what you want or do not want, it is more of telling them your preferences. Contoh, jikalau perkara ini berlaku, I would prefer option A, then B followed by C. Tapi takyah lah kau letak option A sampai Z kan. Jenuh plak diorang nak baca birth plan kau. Most importantly is the discussion between you & your Obgyn on the birth plan. Kalau kau tulis on scented paper, printed and laminated pun, but no discussion behind that ; hermm tak guna juga khen..

 

Apa yang aku faham ialah option-option yang kita ada sebagai ibu yang bakal melahirkan. Bukan kita ni against the doctors or to say NO to all medical technology & procedures. Tidak sama sekali. Just to make ourselves understand yang bukan setiap medical routine itu necessary (sebab they are all routines, so kalau kita tak buat jadik bersalah atau abnormal plak ?) and we have the option to seek for minimal medical interventions. Of cos ibu-ibu kena lah buat homework jugak - practise a lot of breathing, avoiding fear & negative thoughts, jaga makan & stamina, yada..yada..yada and the list goes on. Baru lah win-win situation katanya.

 

Ok lah. Lapaa weh. Tata

 

 

Birthing positions

Hrmm. My personal opinion.

Takut sebenarnya nak comment.. Nanti tak pasal-pasal org print screen pastu jadikkan issue. Ouch.

 

Disclaimer : This is my very personal opinion. Takyah mengada nak jadikkan issue. Kalau kau setuju, aku ok. Atau tak setuju pun aku  ok jugak.

 

If you already read the news spread on laman sosial on the 2nd death of a homebirth mom. Innalillah.

 

And banyak nya comments and statements kat FB, from my personal friend list pun bnyk. Not to mention from professional doctors. I respect all of your opinions, and thank you for sharing all the information.

 

And there are few people jugak asking me on my decision to gentle birth my second baby. Or more like asking me to give it a second thought.

 

First of all, gentle birth and unassisted homebirth are 2 different things. Gentle birth can be done at the hospital setting. So far class yang aku pegi, and also group gentle birthing yang aku follow, NONE of the content supports UNASSSISTED HOMEBIRTH. And all decisions made by moms & dads must be an INFORMED decision. Bukan simply simply main redah & terjah sahaja. And we are well-informed that doulas/birth companions are not a medically certified people. I know it from the beginning of considering the gentle birth option.

 

Hoi aku pun tak brani nak buat unassisted homebirth. Unless kalau laki aku seorang Obgyn. Itu pun kena fikir 246 kali. Aku pun tahu knowledge aku tak seberapa utk take the unassisted homebirth risks. And I also tak brapa confident with Malaysia environment kalau emergency, boleh ke ambulance sampai in 5 mins? Hermm nope I dont think so. And boleh ke medical support sampai immediately. Another hermm..oh tak kot. So the informed decision that I have now is to gentle birth at the hospital with an Obgyn who supports the gentle birthing idea and also will provide me with the most accurate information so that I can make an informed decision, if medical intevention is necessary. I am not against the interventions, kalau it is really really necessary, and I will be informed (or MNI will be informed pada ketika itu), then that is fine with me.

 

- Sebab masa Aryan dulu, there was no strong/medical reason to induce labour. But aku kena induce. Bila tanya doctor knapa nak induce, dia kata dah cukup term (38 weeks at that time, not even passing my EDD pun), baby's heart rate was ok cuma aku rasa baby kurang aktif sikit but still ok. And she said the baby is healthy to start seeing the world. There you go , I got induced at 38 weeks which sepatutnya tak perlu pun. At that time, aku naive. I dont mind pun kena induce. Tak tahu pun sakit induce tu akan 5 kali lagi sakit dari tak induce. So memang macam orang gila meroyan nak roboh hospital aku jerit tahan sakit.

 

- And I did not know once labour is induced , it will have a snow ball effect to other interventions. Sebab sakit sangat, amik drugs itu dan ini, in the end i opted for epidural. But doctor tak sempat inject epidural sebab Aryan dah keluar ketika aku tgh mengepit. Scary enough bila fikir jarum epidural dah kat tulang belakang, and  aku tak boleh duduk diam sebab sakit nak mamp, and I already felt the urge to push the baby? Nasib baik Aryan tak terpancut keluar jatuh dari katil (mind you takde sape sambut Aryan sebab nobody was aware of what's happening down there, semua tgh focus nak cucuk aku epidural & I was 8cm dilated already at that time) & luckily aku tak terkepit dia kuat-kuat. And nasib baik jugak my dilation was progressing. Kalau tak progress, aku tak tau pun akan lead to 2nd dose induction and finally akan kena c-section.

- I was given gas jugak for pain killer. Apart from the injection apa entah I did not know at that time because I was not informed or even asked for permission. But at that time saya hanya menyerah diri, without knowing gas itu buat aku mamai, and of course affect the bonding & breastfeeding the newborn. (Memang tak dapat pun, read the last point).

 

- And masa in labour tu, nurse suka hati buat VE withour my consent. It was so uncomfortable and I hate it so much. At least please inform me, takdelah tgh aku sakit nak mati in labour tu kau main rodok-rodok je. Excuse my harsh words, but that was how I felt. And all this took place in a private hospital.

 

- Dan I felt like moving around masa sakit, nak berguling, menonggeng, berjalan etc. But I got strapped sebab kena buat CTG, And the pain sebab kena lay down tak boleh bergerak was gosh unbearable.

 

- And lagi, I got 1st degree tear. Masa jahit, boleh pulak salah jahit. And bukak balik jahitan, jahit semula... Aaaaa. I dont want to remember this. Gosh, trauma aku.

 

- And unfortunately , I did not get the chance to skin-to-skin & breastfeed Aryan immediately after birth. Depa dah amik Aryan pi bersihkan timbang apa segala, then baru let me hold Aryan. Sedih.

 

Cenggitulah. So for this second birth, aku nak lah experience yg tidak men-traumakan. Of course I go for routine check-ups, and discuss with the Obgyn boleh ke tak aku nak gentle birth. Sebab kalau baby or mommy (or both) not medically fit (btul ke term ni?) or at risks, Obgyn will not allow a gentle birth. So far my check-ups Alhamdulillah Dr Idora kata ok. Hope the 'ok' condition will continue until a safe delivery. Harap baby akan turun and position himself correctly & takde problems last minute. I just pray for an easy & safe delivery dan baby lahir sihat & sempurna. Amin.

 

 

2nd Hypnobirth Class - Falling in Love with Your Baby/Preparing Mind & Body

These are the class outline in the second class:

*HypnoBirthing® Stories - 3 and 4
*Prenatal Bonding Techniques
*Relaxation and Visualization for birthing
*Rapid and instant relaxation techniques
*Breathing techniques for birthing
*Progressive, Instant, and Deepening Techniques
*Hypnotic Relaxation and Visualizations

Few take-aways from this session :

1. Pre-natal bonding techniques can be in so many forms. Normally parents/parents-to-be just talk to their babies, massage-massage perut and thats it. Itu pun selalunya berlaku utk first baby only. (talking about diri sendiri ;p). Second baby selalunya dah tak buat dah pre-natal bonding ni. The most important thing which mothers need to take care of is her emotion! Why? Because the type of hormones (which depends on the emotion) itu akan directly pergi pada baby. So if the mothers always in depression, moody tak tentu pasal, then dont be surprise kalau baby pun akan macam itu juga.
2. Relaxation is a technique. Not everyone can achieve this stage. The KEY SECRET here is PRACTISE! Macam aku ni, memang lah sgt susah nak sampai stage mind yang btul-btul relax. Kejap fikir Aryan, kejap fikir kerja-kerja rumah, tu belum masuk kerja-kerja office lagi. So I have to practise with the Rainbow CD tu every single day (which I haven't started yet ;p ) Hopefully sempat lah master this technique before delivery.
3. 3 types of breathing : - calm breathing, surge breathing & birth breathing. All three are of different techniques. And again, the key thing is PRACTISE!
4. Ada some mothers achieve orgasm birthing. Instead of interpreting birth as something painfull and full of fear, they imagine birth as pleasure. And that answers the 'sound' they make during labour. Haha.
5. Light torch massage by husband/birth companion during labour is really helpful! The massage is not the kind yg picit-picit sakit tu. Nope. It is a very light one, using fingernails only. Ini just to trigger the hormone beneath the skin to release endorphin which is our natural pain killer. MasyaAllah.
6. To start positioning your baby earliest possible. Bukan maksudnya kau tolak baby tu supaya turun ke bawah, but what you do, at what position do you sleep etc. All this will affect the baby's position. the heaviest part of a baby is the head. So kalau kita selalu sit upright and leaning forward, selalu squatting, sleep on your side (preferably on the left side sebab akan bnyk oxygen sampai kepada baby), do the polar bear position, and for Muslims, do a lot of sujud (read: solat sunat bnyk-bnyk). Babies nowadays kebanyakan berada dalam position head down posterior instead of anterior. Sebab lifestyle kita ni yang asyik duduk menyandar.

http://www.nurseslearning.com/courses/nrp/NRP1609-30/Section11/p02.html

Perkara-perkara di atas ni sounds very basic like every mothers would know about it. But aku tak boleh nak practise pun dulu time Aryan. Maybe sebab malas, takde kesedaran, so ignorant, tak kisah pun kalau kena induce c-sect etc. Now I am very positive yang all of these things are techniques which we need to learn and practise. Bukan just baca-baca then tadaa nak beranak withour fear and pain. Haa you are right ;p

Oklah can 't wait for the 3rd class. Blajar buat birth plan and by next visit to see Dr Idora, I should have passed and discussed my birth plan itu, InsyaAllah.

First Hypnobirth Class - Building A Positive Expectancy

Alhamdulillah, I managed to drag MNI to the class and ensure that we commit our every Sunday in Deccember for this class. Sounds very tough isn't it. But I want to have a natural birth with informed choice. So there is no reason not to learn and gain as much knowledge as I can.

I already enrolled for this class as early as at ~20ish pregnant. But the only time we have to commit our weekends is only in December. Read : Malas period, appraisal is over, MNI takde pergi outstation etc. But yah.. which means no end of year vacation for us. But herm that's fine lah.

I chose Nadine Ghows as the hypnobirth instructor.Mainly because she is the only one who offers classes in December and she is the only Muslim practitioner in Malaysia for this Mongan Method hypnobirthing. I thought oh yes it must be better if the instructor can relate with the words in Quran for every kejadian and sebab-sebab yg berlaku during birth.

The class was held at Nadine's house. It was a very small group of 4 couples. So just nice lah the house and we felt cosy and relax because rasa macam tgh lepak lepak kat rumah sahaja. And oh, the classes are in series of 5 or 6 (depends on the duration of each class). And it costs us RM780 per couple (kacinggg!). Quite expensive lah kot kalau dengar. But that amount could not be traded with the knowledge that we wanna have. And with that fee, you will get a copy of The Hypnobirthing-The Mongan Method book, and the Rainbow CD (that is a relaxation CD which you will use to put yourselves in deep relaxation)

In that first class, the objective is more to dig in on what hypnobirth is, the history, why is the current birthing environment is so mechanical etc.

When MNI was asked what makes him to support me to have a gentle/natural birth. His answer was " when she delivered or first baby, I could see how she struggled so hard until my shirt almost terkoyak. So for this second one, I hope she can birth our baby calmly and hopefully painless for her and me'

Heeeheee...

And these point below are some of the things which Nadine shared with us, which I still remember.

1) Hypnobirth is not necessary pain-less. It is how you avoid fear and automatically the pain will be gone.

2) If we bring fear to labour, it will translate to tense, and then the pain will definitely there. This cycle repeats and that's why people take drugs to kill the pain.

3) Our body produces our own pain-killer. Oxytocin it is ! It is the love hormone or the 'shy' hormone in which will be produced particularly when making love. So treat your labour & birth just the same as making love - privacy, dim light, at the most comfortable position, of course perut jgn terlalu lapa, full of energy, jotful and fun !

4) So in order for natural birth to work, it is our responsibility to create the environment so this hormone can be produced. Be it at home or at the hospital. And of course kalau kat hospital, kenalah mendapat doctor & nurse who really can cooperate with your wishes.

5) Everyday kena imagine and visualise the birth that you want - location, at what position, when etc. Believe in the power of your mind!

6) Hypnobirth is not about against the hospitals, doctors and whatnots. It is about mothers to have an informed choice, no unnecessary medical intervention, and let the mother and baby work together during birthing coz they know what is needed.

7) How our uterus muscles work perfectly in harmony. It was written in the Quran that the uterus has 3 difefrent layers (mentioned lapisan demi lapisan dan lapisan). And each layer has its own function. Mothers job is to relax and control themselves in order for these muscles to work perfectly. And baby will come out dengan sendirinya without even mothers need to push. Subhanallah ! (Nadine showed the example with blue ribbon. I hope I can visualise this during birth. InshaAllah Amin)

8) Go to the hospital as late as possible. kalau boleh, sampai hospital trus beranak je. Because the best place to equip ourselves with the love hormone, and other necessary hormones are at the comfort of our house. So make sure body is properly ready, dah produce natural pain-killer then baru pegi hospital. If we go menyerah diri terlalu awal, itu yang dtg cerita -induce, dilation is so slow, baby distress yada..yada..yada. And end up with c-sect (which may not be necessary). There is no rush to birth the baby. Baby knows when to come out that is when they are ready. So kalau tak perlu, jgn lah dipaksa-paksa kelahiran itu.

9) We had to practise the relaxation and visualization techniqes. But both MNI and I terpinga-pinga sebab tak dapat masuk into that phase pun. Hahah. Its ok. Still lot more to learn :)

I m pretty sure there are a lot more to share here. But ini je yang saya igt buat masa ini. Will tambah tambah if I ingat lagi ok !

P/S Alhamdulillah tomorrow is our 4th anniversary. Hoih how time flies kan?

1st visit to Pantai Hospital KL (Dr Idora)

Sekejap saje masa berlalu. Dah 21 weeks pregnant, Alhamdulillah..

Being so 'lalang' , I still mencari-cari hospital mana (or it's more to Obgyn mana) yg aku nak deliver dengan. I posted an entry about Dr Marsita before, but after some time I did not feel like delivering my baby at the Columbia Asia hospital. Ni sebab otak dah set & dah habes 'terpengaruh' to deliver as natural & gentle as possible. And I just found out that ada female Malay doctor yang accept water birth or dok dalam air for pain relief. Hanya Hospital Pantai KL yang boleh accomodate this. The Obgyn there is Dr Idora Mohamed. So tanpa berfikir panjang, aku trus called her nurse for an apppoitment.

No, please don't get me wrong. I am very positive dengan previous Obgyn, Dr Marsita. As I said, she always makes me feel sgt tenang and gembira bila check-up. Very friendly & motherly, and so senang to approach her. But ada few things that made me decide to switch to Dr Idora :

1) I really hope for a gentle & natural birth this time (please pray for me, yes? ). A friend of mine tried to achieve gentle & natural birth at the Columbia Asia Hospital, but they did not take 100% of your request. Basically the nurses yang tak berapa nak cooperate.
2) If keadaan & kesihatan baby & I mengizinkan, I would opt for a water birth / pain relief in water. I had considered this for a long time, cuma just recently found a female Muslim obgyn yang boleh buat this procedure. Before this I thought hanya Dr Choong sahaja yang buat.
3) Waiting time tunggu doctor yg ada hanya hari Rabu 10am-1pm tu sometimes buat hati saya panas dan tak sabar. Haha. MNI pun selalu merempan sebab kena tunggu up to 5 hours. I understand, mmg kalau nak Muslim female obgyn semestinya waiting time lama gila. Cuma mungkin kalau doctor tu berada di hospital 4 days a week, kita boleh manage our time more efficiently, compared to doctor yg hanya ada kat situ 3 hours per week.

Thre you go. Pegila saya terkedek-kedek ke Pantai Hospital KL. Dah la MNI takde during the first visit tu. So saya angkut mama saya yg kebetulan teman saya di KL, sebab raya haji all my families raya di KL. Sebab kesian nak suh saya balik kampung, and of course kesian kalau saya raya 2 beranak dgn Aryan kat KL.

Patients Dr Idora pun boleh tahan ramainya ! So kesimpulannya, waiting time ni mmg tak boleh nak elak kot. Jgn lah kau expect menunggu sejam je boleh trus dapat jumpa doctor. Sebab tu lah kan, sape ada anak pompuan tu, suh la anak jadi Obgyn. Memang negara ni tak ramai female muslim Obgyn kannnnnn?

But for 1st visit tu, saya patient no 3. Pastu masa Dr Idora dah sampai, patient no 1 & 2 tgh gi breakfast. So saya lah yg dapat masuk dulu. ALhamdulillah.

Memang Dr Idora tu best :)
1) I directly told her I want a natural & gentle birth. And if possible a water birth. She said ok no problem. Tengok keadaan baby & I towards masa nak delivery nanti sebab water birth ada conditions yang kena fullfil. And dia siap-siap tulis dalam buku on my request itu.
2) Pergh dia punya explanation masa scan tu, macam lah aku ni doctor. So specific, details and bercerita bukan main panjang lebar. I think better if she could use alternative words for lay-man non-medical background people like me ni kan. Dia bgth setiap tulang tu apa nama.. mmg lah aku blaja biology dulu. But konfemlah dah ke laut ingatan tu.
3) Dr Idora ni bercakap punyalah soft & to me sgt perlahan. Patut kena kuatkan sikit volume suara dia. Bape kali jugak aku minta dia cakap kuat sikit.

Tapi in terms of hospital itu sendiri, memanglah tak boleh lawan PCMC. Even masa check-up with Dr Marsita dulu pun aku dah reset minda (cewah) yang hospital tu takkan sama mcm PCMC. Ward kat PCMC tu so far the best la aku rasa. Tapi unfortunately aku nak Obgyn yang boleh support & accomodate my request & wish. And also hospital & nurses yang jugak boleh cooperate dgn apa yg aku nak , InshaAllah.

So many people asked me knapa sibuk nak gentle & natural birth ni ??? Kalau taknak sakit bagai, amik sajelah epidural and other pain killers kan sgt bnyk.

Before I answer to that questions, eloklah kiranya kalau baca-baca and surf surf these websites.

Hypnobirthing is one of the method to achieve a gentle & natural birth. Since kat Malaysia sendiri dah ada bnyk jugak support to go for this method, so kita try lah. I'll share perkara-perkara yg aku harapkan takkan berulang semasa deliver Aryan dulu in my second delivery ni nanti. And knapalah aku sibuk Kak Jemah sgt dengan benda-benda ni semua.

Aite peolple. I am still counting days for MNI to come back home. This time is the longest yang dia meninggalkan kami tau. Sedih ? Dah tak mampu dah bersedih dah. Immune sudah. Haha. Yang pasti he got something for me from Paris. Tu dah happy dah ;p Wakakaka.

1st Trimester drama. Tsk tsk

8 hours of time difference amat menyukarkan komunikasi kami. Bila aku dah nak tido, dia baru nak pegi lunch. Bila aku nak gi keja, dia baru nak masuk tido. 
Takpe. I am strong enough to handle this. Pheww.

Btw, I am entering 21 weeks of pregnancy. Sekejap sajok sudah 5 bulan lebih kan. Another halfway to go mommy. Chaiyok.

When I first knew I am pregnant, it was about 6 weeks already. I was pretty sure on my first date of the last period, so sepatutnya calculation of umur & baby size adalah almost no doubt. But not that straight forward eyy. Ada drama swasta berlaku di situ. 

I had my 1st appointment with Dr Marsita at 7 weeks pregnancy. Masa tu lagi seminggu lebih nak ke bulan Ramadhan. I had a miscarriage masa 1st pregnancy, so I did not want to take any risk thats why dah pegi jumpa ObGyn at 7 weeks itu. Masa 1st visit tu, we waited for almost 3 hours, and dah nak dekat pukol 12pm tak dapat jumpa doctor lagi maka MNI terpaksa balik ke office because he had an urgent meeting on that day. Aku tak kisah pun masa tu, sebab aku kan isteri yang memahami. Ecewah.

Dah naik kematu punggung menunggu, at last dapat jugak berjumpa dgn Dr Marsita. Check punya check scan sana sini, she made a surprise face. Telling me no heartbeat was detected! Owh terus nak terpecah rasa hati. She told me sepatutnya by 5-6 weeks dah boleh nampak heartbeat, and that shows a viable pregnancy. Kalau tak detect the hearbeat by 6 weeks, dia agak ada perasaan ragu-ragu di situ.

She told me dia taknak buat aku menunggu dan meresah dengan lama. Lebih2 lagi nak masuk bulan Ramadhan. In other words, dia taknak aku mengharap pada pregnancy yang mungkin tak menjadi. Bincang punya bincang, I disagreed to do D&C straightaway. Sebab aku like tak puas hati, takkanlah kalau tak detect heartbeat, that means berlaku 'silent miscarriage' and kena D&C. No..no..no.. Takleh terima kenyataan pada ketika itu. 'Silent miscarriage' is kandungan yg mungkin gugur dari awal pregnancy, but kita tak tahu because when we do pregnancy test, HcG hormon still can be read and test will still show positive result.

I asked her if there is any other way to make me feel better before deciding anything. She said ok kita buat blood test selang sehari. If the HcG hormon increases (double) in every test, then the pregnancy mungkin menjadi. If otherwise, then mmg confirm silent miscarriage. So I agreed & they took the 1st blood test on that very same day.

Lusanya and 2 hari kemudiannya aku pegi hospital lagi utk amik blood test.

Alhamdulillah, result double up in every test. So discussed balik dgn doctor and we waited for another 2 weeks. 

After 2 weeks I went back to the hospital and buat scan lagi. Alhamdulillah dah detect heartbeat. Cuak sangat okeh. Bila doctor ukur size kantung etc. dia kata size baby ni 2 weeks smaller kalau compare dengan date period yg aku bgth dia. Thats y tak dapat detect heartbeat masa the previous scan. So dia kata period date aku yg maybe silap. But I was very very sure on the date. Sebab aku igt sgt sgt period hari Rabu, iaitu 5 days before arwah papa passed away.

But aku malas lah nak bertekak dgn doctor kan. Aku iyakan sahaja. Asalkan baby selamat, Alhamdulillah kami dah bersyukur sangat-sangat. Gila kau tak sedih kalau miscarriage.This pregnancy is a 'wanted' one. Bukan teraccident ke terlajak ke apa. 

Maybe aku conceive super lambat after habes period tu, dats y ada effect pada umur baby. kalau ikutkan period date, aku now dah 23+ weeks. But based on ther revised EDD, aku baru 21+ weeks. Asalnya EDD ialah 19 Feb (exactly on MNI's besday). But takde rezeki kot, now dah lewat 2 weeks jadi 6 March 2014. (sama besday besfren I si Wirdalina).

Now aku tgh sibuk study & nak khatamkan buku ni :

Pray that I can achieve a natural birth by this technique. I also had registered for the hypnobirthing class. The first class starts in Dec. Oklah tu 7 months pregnant masa tu InshaAllah. I am very determined to learn and apply menatang ni, because I realized I made a lot of mistakes masa deliver Aryan, which made the birthing experience super horror dan menakutkan sampai aku rasa trauma sgt taknak beranak lagi. Birthing should be sangat menyeronokkan & tidak menyakitkan & tidak menakutkan with minimal medical intervention iaitu bila sgt sgt perlu sahaja, bukan segala unnecessary benda kau nak buat & pakai. Dan bukan menjerit terlolong macam aku buat dulu.Will story mory more about this in another entry ok. Doakan aku berjaya dapat a safe & wonderful birthing experience this time. Amin Amin ya RabbalAlamin.

Till then. Toodles.

How much weight gain can I expect?

Yuuhuu. Salam hari Jumaat ! Biasalah, kalau Friday aku mmg ceria satu macam. Warna-warni rasa kehidupan.

Well, I am now at 14+ weeks preggie. It was supposed to be 16+ weeks kalau ikutkan period date, tapi bila scan baby comel ni kecik by 2 weeks. Dr Marsita kata, maybe aku conceive lambat. So mmg kena ikut size dan umur scan, because it is more accurate katanya.

At 14+ weeks ni, Alhamdulillah sickness dah beransur hilang. Dah tak muntah sangat (tapi semalam terbluekk jugak sekali), just feeling feeling pening tu the the whole day ade. As long as aI can eat whatever I want, I am a happy woman already :)

But saya sangat risau dengan weight gain ni weh. Masa pregnant Aryan, I gained freakin' 19kgs uols ! Hoih takut aku tgk perut and of course mesin penimbang after deliver Aryan adalah musuh ketatku. Rasa seksa sangat nak back to pre-pregnancy weight. And the fact is sampai pregnant second ni pun, still tak dapat that weight. Choiii! Ada 3 more kgs to shed off, tapi sebab dah pregnant ni, lupakan saja hasratmu itu.

This time around, I am trying hard to be really picky in terms of food intake (kot?). Trying my best to eat healthily and not necessary to be eating for TWO pun. Janji makanan itu menyihatkan. Additional calories utk preggie mommies hanyalah dalam 300 kCal per day only. Bukan 3 pinggan nasi berlauk extra per day ok. 300 kCal tu macam sebijik potato bun je.. Igt tu igt tu Erin !

Pe lagi. Eh and I also registered to this program - EMpowering pregnancy by Pitter Patter. Wakaka dah second pregnancy pun sibuk nak gi program cenggini kheenn. But we never stop learning kan. And every pregnancy is different. So do not expect kalau kau dah anak 4 pun, macam dah terrer sgt and you know everything already. There are lot more to learn mommies.

 

Based on the weigh gain calculation kat Pitter Patter website ni, I should be gaining weight between 11-16 kgs. So masa Aryan dulu terlebih 3 kgs. Oops.

How much weight gain is normal during pregnancy?

You are expected to gain approximately 25 – 35 lbs (11 – 16kg) in pregnancy. However, the appropriate weight gain in pregnancy actually depends on your pre pregnancy weight or body mass index.

Body mass index (BMI) = your weight in kg

your height in meter²

For Asians, the BMI are categorized slightly different compared to the Caucasian populations.

BMI	Classification	Risk compared to normal weight
<18 .5="" font="">	Underweight	Increased
18.5 – 22.9	Normal	Normal
≥ 23	Overweight	Increased
23 – 24.9	At Risk	High
25 – 29.9	Obese Class I	Severe
≥ 30	Obese Class II	Very High

Table 1: WHO Guidelines on Asian BMI values ¹

Therefore, depending on your pre pregnancy weight, the ideal expected weight gain in pregnancy is shown below. As you can see the higher your BMI pre pregnancy, the less weight you should be gaining during pregnancy.

Pre Pregnancy BMI	Expected weight gain in pregnancy (in lbs)
Underweight	25 – 37
Normal	25 – 35
Overweight	15 – 25

* 1 kg = 2.2 lb

The expected rate of weight gain throughout pregnancy also depends on your BMI:

Pre Pregnancy BMI	1st Trimester	2nd Trimester	3rd Trimester
Underweight	5- 6 lb	1 – 2 lb / week	1 – 2 lb / week
Normal	3 – 5 lb	1 – 2 lb / week	1 -2 lb / week
Overweight	1- 2 lb	1 lb / week	1 lb / week

*1 kg = 2.2lb

Where does all the extra weight go to?

• Baby: 7-8 pounds
• Placenta: 1-2 pounds
• Amniotic fluid: 2 pounds
• Uterus: 2 pounds
• Maternal breast tissue: 2 pounds
• Maternal blood : 4 pounds
• Fluids in maternal tissue: 4 pounds
• Maternal fat and nutrient stores: 7 pounds

Chicken Pox Day 6 -The pantang larang(s)

Day 6 of having this bintat-bintat. And Day 2 dok umah MIL without hubby.Uuuhuhu. Feel so awkward tau, luckily ada si kecik Aryan so takdelah rasa pelik sangat. Yelah, bangun tido pukol 9 pagi, breakfast dah siap terhidang sampaikan lauk lunch pun dah siap masak. Ada menantu lain lagi tak yang tak senonoh macam aku? Hiks. Menantu sorang, bolehla kau pemalas macam ni. Next year inshaAllah dah ada biras. Habesla mak, kena rajin-rajin kekdahnya. Aku bukan pemalas weh, but MIL aku jenis memasak pepagi buta kol 630 pagi. Aku baru gosok mata nak solat subuh, dia dah siap menumis bagai. Celah mana aku nak membantu. Aku tolong sesikit jelah kerja rumah macam menyapu, lipat baju..ok lah tu khennnn.

Berdasarkan pengalaman 2 hari ni, aku dapat merasakan berpantang ngan mama laaagiii strict oi. Masa bersalain Aryan, dok JB kan, kus semangat hape pun mama tak bagi makan sesuka hati. Ini dok rumah MIL, mama siap call mak mentua aku bgth 'akak takyah masak-masak goreng-goreng tumis tumis utk Along tu kak. Bagi dia makan rebus-rebus je' Oh siap bagi pesanan penaja nun jauh dari JB. Sekian.

Ni few pantang larang yang aku kena follow sepanjang 6 hari ini. I am not sure on the kebenaran, tapi bila org-org tua yang menjaga kita, kita follow sahaja okeh.

1. No makanan bergoreng, chicken, telur, daging,seafood and ikan yg gatal macam ikan kembung, pari etc. So dah 6 hari aku makan lauk tenggiri dan ikan merah masak sup. Kau agak berat aku kurang tak dalam 2-3 kg? Sampaikan nak makan kuih raya pun aku takut sebab ada teloq. 
2. No cili padi. Sebab dipercayai pedas cili padi tu buat pox rasa pijar dan pedih.
3. Aku sendiri tak boleh menumis atau menggoreng di dapur. Dipercayai minyak yang letop-letop tu akan menyebabkan pox ni pun meletop-letop and tak mau kering.Kalau ikutkan mama, tak boleh langsung menumis & meggoreng dalam rumah tu. Tapi mak mentua aku tak strict sgt. Kalau dia nak menumis, dia suh aku dok dediam dalam bilik sampai dia habes memasak. Another reason for not helping her in the kitchen right? Gaahaha.
4. Strictly no kicap. Sebab katanya kicap akan menyebabkan parut-parut jadik hitam and susah nak hilang. Walhal skrang ni pun parut aku dah macam kehitaman. Tolong weh.
5. Tak boleh langsung kena hujan. Sebab nanti parut tu akan jadik lopak lopak berlobang. Gile ko tak saiko.
6. Gantung daun lalang dalam bilik, supaya kuman ciken pox tu diserap oleh daun lalang. Maka takdelah org lain bejangkit.
                   
7. Bakar Indian colok hehari. Untuk mengelakkan org lain berjangkit jugak. Dah hehari aku bangun tido mmg bau colok tu satu rumah.
8. Of course tangan tak boleh gatal nak menggaru. In my case ok sikit sebab pox ni tak rasa gatal pun. Mungkin sebab aku pantang makan, so takyah le aku ikat tangan sendiri. Itu pun gatal nak kopek kuping-kuping yg dah nak kering tu.

Orang selalu kata minum air kelapa supaya chicken pox ni habes keluar. But aku teringat Dr Marsita kata masa dia bagi anti viral tu, she wanted to stop the virus dari keluar bnyk2 and sampai ke baby. So macam defeat the purpose makan anti viral je kalau aku minum air kelapa tu kan. So mmg aku tak minum langsung air kelapa. Aku just minum benda-benda yang meningkatkan immune system macam madu and jus pati delima. Memang dari start peknen, Dr Marsita advise so makan benda-benda ni. Aku penah demam masa peknen and mintak panadol kat dia. Dia tak bagi ko. Instead, dia suh minum madu perah lemon. Sedap pulak aku rasa. Sampai skrang hehari dok minum honey lemon :)

Ok dah, tu je lah pantang-larang yg aku ikut. Mak mentuaku kata, pox ni macam dah kering bnyk. So esok boleh longgarkan pantang makan. Fuuhh. Kalau mama aku, jgn harap le. Selagi tak baik betul, selagi tu lah berpantang kot.

Dah 2 hari tak jumpa MNI. Rindu seyh. Dah lama tak merasa dok bejauhan ni. Dulu masa long distance marriage jiwa mmg kental lah. But now dah tak kental dah. Bukan aku sorang je yg rindu tau, ni haa si kecik Aryan ni pun sama. Tido siap peluk baju deddi dia. Mmg aku tak cuci baju tu sebab tau nanti Aryan rindu bau deddi dia. Walhal rebut baju tu ngan mommy dia. Tsk..tsk..

Ya Allah, semoga cepatlah sembuh chicken pox ini. And baby sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat dan selamat. Amin ya Rabb.
