Post-Delivery

Yes...This is a post-delivery update....Alhamdulillahirobbil'alameen..., I have finally given birth to a healthy 3.525kg baby girl, who goes with the name...Haney Nadya. She is 48 cm long and her head circumference is 37cm. She is obviously heavier than Hana Atirah and the labour pain was much, much worse..to the extent that I was subconscious when I gave birth to her!





I am already home today but Haney Nadya has to be held back because she is down with jaundice and has to go through the photolight therapy till tomorrow 6am...then the doctor will carry out another blood test for her before deciding if she's able to go back home tomorrow...I am praying for her to be back tomorrow 'cos it's gonna be quite tiring going down to TMC everyday as she is on partial breastfeeding..I am trying to breastfeed her as much as I possibly can because for the past 2 days, I realised that she prefers breastfeeding to formula...so, even though there's not much milk on my part, I will just let her suckle before I supplement with the formula..better something than nothing, right?





Let me share some photos of her in here...

Latest Pregnancy Update

Well, it's been awhile since I wrote in here, except for some uploading of music video clips that Hubby helped to upload for me.

Just wanna share some updates on my pregnancy. I am 37 weeks along this week. Last week, went to the gynae's for the normal routine check-up. And..he dropped the bombshell to me, telling me that my baby is big, in fact, bigger than Hana when Hana was born. Hana weighed at 3.22kg upon arrival (that was at 40 weeks) into this world...but my second baby has already weighed 3.4kg at 36 weeks..so my gynae is worried that the baby will grow evern bigger if we were to wait for too long. So my gynae told me to see him again on 9th June and that's when he will decide whether he should induce me or not. He did say that if by 9th June Babyis already weighing 3.6kg or more, then I will have to deliver Baby within that week itself...Come to think of it, it's just next week...Oh my God....it's yet another ordeal of labour pain that I have to go through, which I guess I have not fully recovered from the first round, which was 3 years ago.

Talking about Baby being big, amazingly my weight gain is only 8kg as compared to when I was heavy with Hana. That time, my total weight gain was 13kg and Hana came out at 3.22kg. Now, with lesser weight gain, it's Baby who is heavy. So when I brought this matter up to my gynae, he told me that it's good that I do not gain as much weight as the previous pregnancy as it means that I have lesser to lose after delivery. So when I asked him why is it then my baby is big when my weight gain is not much, he told me this.."You go ask your baby." Can you believe it? Sometimes my gynae can be so irritating to me (even though I am fuilly aware that he is trying to crack a joke) that I just feel like strangling him...

OK...OK...I can understand why he wants to induce me if Baby is too big. Firstly, my gynae is so pro-natural that he doesn't wish for any of his patients to go through C-section unless they ask for it. Secondly, he doesn't want other complications to arise while delivering the baby. You know, things like it's gonna be difficult for Baby to come out if it's too big and what-nots...

And...talking about complications, I am already experiencing a complicated situation right now. Can you just imagine this...it's nearing the delivery time and suddenly, last Saturday, as I was walking around IKEA with Hubby, I suddenly felt my pile slipped out! Yes...it just slipped out like that and up till today...no matter how many times I try to insert it back, it will still slip out after a moment..and let me share this with you..it's super painful to move about with 'that thing' out of your ANUS! This is the first time I am experiencing such pain. The last time when I had the pile, it wasn't this bad. In fact this time round, it's bigger and it has affected my physical movement and system, in terms of excruciating pains and cramps from waist down! To tell you in detail, in fact, that Saturday when we reached home, I just couldn't move anymore and my legs were literally trembling from the effect of the pile!

Now readers...tell me something nice to perk up my day! I seriously don't know what else to do. Even before I could push Baby out of my tummy, the pile is already out. I wonder what it's gonna be like when the delievery day comes. However, I do hope that this pile will go away soon before I am reeled into the labour suite next week.

Hence, happy waiting for the good news of the arrival of yet, another bundle of joy!

P/s: According to Mum, this pile may be due to my baby weighing down on the womb, thus pushing the pile out. It may be a pregnancy thingy, not a long-term problem. Well, I seriously hope so too 'cos I dont wish to go for an operation to get rid of the pile after delivering the baby..it's gonna be a mental and phisycal torture for someone like me who can't endure physical pains at all!
