Dani Iskandar ~ his arrival...

As expected, my son ni nak datang on the dot as per his due date. Pagi Subuh July 20^th, aku mula rasa contraction makin kerap. Inform my hubby to be on stand by, I have a very strong feeling that this contraction bukan false alarm lagi. He decided not to go for work and we both went straight to PMC. Mujur memang tgh shift DR Wan, so tak perlu nak tunggu lama. I’ve been warded around 1pm, bila check baru bukak 3cm je…rupanya hasil kerja “jalan2 buka pintu” aku since last Saturday cuma dapat buka 1cm je…huhuuhu…after short discussion, DR decided to induce me, lembutkan dinding rahim since my contraction makin kerap tp not strong enuf to open up the way. At the same time I took pain killer injection to help me relax and only feel the contraction yg quite strong jer, mild one tk rasa sgt…ya Allah ease the pain a bit from me…uhhuuhuu…air mata ni bergenang jer, tk tau nk ckp cemana, hubby pun sama, tk tau nak tolong cemana…dia urut2 jer belakang aku, fening2 loya nak muntah sume siap.

Around 4pm, she examined me one more time…baru 4cm bukak, but I’m getting tired already wit the pain. Dia pecahkan air ketuban, tengok warna dah lain macam jer… rupanya baby dah start po-poo kat dalam tu. Have to hurry before the condition become more complicated. When they pull me to the labour room, macam2 feeling datang…gerun terkenangkan saat lahirkan Damia, tapi aku kuatkan semangat jugak. Hubby kat sebelah tak putus2 bisik ke telinga aku…sayu tengok muka cemas dia yg agak mabuk darah tu, tapi untuk bg semangat kat aku dia gagahkan diri. At last lepas 2jam lebih bertarung dgn kesakitan to the max inside the labour room, dah habis tenaga untuk grand finale, terpaksa la DR vaccum my baby, other wise boleh lemas ke apa ker…nauzubillah…

Keluar je baby aku dah tak baper sedar apa yg berlaku kat sekeliling. Tapi hubby citer aku mmg tak larat giler smpai doctor tunjuk bby pun aku tak pandang dah siap bagi isyarat tangan suh tunjuk kat dia jer…yer ker? Mmg aku tak sedar langsung beb! Bila masa kena jahit ker cuci ke ape ker, dah rupa kena operation jer, walhal tadak sapa bg bius pelali pun...DR ckp condition aku lemah sangat... Tau2 jer dah settle sume, tunggu untuk sedar semula then baru tolak ke ward. Hmm…sampai ke bilik, aku sambung tido lagi…bangun dekat jam 10, baru rasa lapar sume…makan, then teringat yg aku tk tgk baby lagi since dia lahir! Huhuuhuu…tak sempat nak breast feed dia saat dia nangis dahaga bertarung nak kuar jenguk bumi ni…intercom nurse minta hantarkan baby kejap. Baru la dapat belek n peluk n cium n tengok my newborn son itu.

Leganya…tapi memandangkan condition aku still lemah, doctor advise total rest the whole nite, esok pagi baru kuat betul…lagi pun baby still trauma untuk menelan sebarang cecair yg masuk ke mulut dia due to agak2 hampir lemas dlm perut aku tadi…dia Cuma diberi drip jer, kalo bg susu or air pun dia simpan jer kat tekak tak telan2. Agak merisaukan di situ. The next day kami tk boleh balik lagi, aku slowly mampir ke nursery and cuba2 breast feed dia…agak kecewa coz he refuse to give any action or positive feed back…tido jer, kesian tgk tiub2 berselirat tu. After lunch aku melawat dia lagi, this time dia nangis, so amik kesempatan untuk breast feed dia, lapar kot…agak dlm 20mins dia kemam jer, then baru cuba2 give feedback…yey! Esok boleh balik la cenni….hahahhaa…true enuf, after a few hours nurse dtg hantar bby suh bg lagi susu, we had a special bond attach on the 2^nd day…so sweet…DR Tan the pead dtg examined baby then she released us on the next day, Alhamdulillah…tak sabar2 rasanya nak balik rumah. Damia dtg visit n sgt teruja bl tengok baby sambil mulut dia tak henti2 berceloteh…”baby dah kuar ker? ibu dah kurus ker? Tak demok22 lagi?” ahhahahaa…budak itu, soklan mauts untuk ibu. Tapi sian dia, 2mlm tido ngan nenek asik terjaga cari ayah ibu…mana pernah berenggang mlm2 ngan kami…mesti ada salah sorang. Bila nurse sume Tanya dia apa nama baby, dia ckp “baby Damia ler, apa lagi!” then kami pun disclose the actual name to her…adik ni namanya Dani Iskandar…panggil adik baby Dani ok? Pastu mula dia sebut2 ja nama adik dgn cara dia “Nanishkandar” apa2 saja la Damia…janji ko tau itu adik ko….hahhaaahhaa…
