Nayra now @ 2 months

My baby is now 2 months old on 1st January, tak sangka banyak perubahan dia dari 1st month to 2nd..perubahan paling ketara adalah dari segi fizikal (makin panjang & bulat) also 2-way communication skills (dah pandai tengok orang, senyum & sembang)..intonasi nangis dia pun dah pelbagai, termasuklah menangis stail mengada2 hehe...so happy to see her development : )

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!

Hello everybody, would like to wish all of u Selamat Tahun Baru 2010 yeahhh..wpun dah 6 hb tapi tetapppp nak cakap gakk.... actually i was quite bz, didn't have the time to open up my lappy..ntah bz apa ntah, mostly because i have to return to work & off course with my baby.

I'm finding the time to write this entry cos its new year, and when its new year you ought to have new year resolutions, and when you have 'azam tahun baru' you will become motivated to welcome the new year & also continue your life journey, harap2 la segala azam yang dibina dapat di capai (wpun tak semua) :

1. Career/Personal Development :
-I need to be more punctual, taknak lewat2 ke opis sampai ada ink merah kat punchcard tu
- I intend to further study taking PhD course, prior to that need to catch up with latest information, so nak beli suratkhabar hari2..
- To at least write 1 journal/publication
- Be a more systematic & organized person at work..jangan tangguh kerja

2. Beauty, Health & Well-being :
- Exercise more...lari atas treadmill especially on weekends
- Control diet
- Eat vitamins regularly
- Become a vegan at least once a week (makan sayurmayur/fruits the whole day)
- Do my pedicure once a month
- Don't forget to use body lotion (skin tends to get drier with age)

3. Finance :
- Habiskan hutang cecepat...i want to clear my credit card debts, use it only when needed
- To save more..tanak boros sangat now that i have a baby to care for
- I dream of extending my kitchen, change the tiles & perform the haj before i'm 45..more $$$$

4. As a Mother :
- I want to continue breatfeeding Nayra as long as possible eventhough my breastmilk is not so productive...will never give up on giving her rights
- Being a mother is so tiring..must build up more stamina (exercise & vitamins)
- I want to ensure my son gets a better grade in his exams..must coach him more in his school work/studies
- Must remember to clean my face with make-up remover before using facial foam

Hmmm..orang kata jangan azam banyak sangat tapi tak tercapai, biasanya azam syamariz ni dok berulang setiap tahun hehe..bezanya tercapai atau tidak ajer, so i will double check again next year to see if any of the 'azams' above really succeeded, last year's 'azam' to become a mother is now a reality hehe..that one i likeeee

My Pregnancy Trivia

Being pregnant is wonderful & awful at the same time...but that awfulness that makes the pregnancy more memorable & treasurable, am i right all mothers out there?? You will always remember the hard times during pregnancy compared to the easy lazy stuffs...

As for me, Alhamdulillah Allah SWT has granted my doa of being a mother..and i will not ever forget the time when i was pregnant as it brings a lot of memories, also new discoveries, that only a pregnant women could endure..

Here are some trivias on my pregnancy that i wanna share & remember for always :

1. I discovered i was pregnant when the pregnancy is 4 1/2 weeks..did the test when period is a day late (punye la tak sabar nak tau)

2. The first sickness that i had to overcome is heartburn!! It came so early..in fact right after i discovered i was pregnant, the solution??...consume that white, sticky medicine every night (macam Gaviscon) yukhhhsss...

3. I had morning sickness starting around week 7 all through until week 14 (3 1/2 months)..the experience was quite traumatizing as it makes u sick all day for about 3 months!!! Just imagine..

4. Did the first ultrasound at week 8 at Subang Permai Maternity Clinic

5. Did regular checkups at Klinik Kesihatan Merbau Sempak, Sg Buloh starting from 3 1/2 months till 8 months pregnancy before later on shifting to DEMC

6. Bad news..i had Gestational Diabetes discovered at 4 months after doing the Glucose Tolerance Test, so had to do the blood test every 2 weeks (4 times a day) called BSP Test (Blood Sugar Profile)...i even bought the bloodcheck device

7. Discovered that i was expecting a girl during 5 months routine checkup

8. Caught fever & bad cough when pregnant at 6 months...admitted 1/2 day at Hosp Sg Buloh due to dehydration & vomitting

9. Put on maternity dress at 5 months pregnancy...kain baju kurung semua dah ketat sendat

10. Shop for baby stuffs during 7 months pregnancy

11. Find baby's name from Muslim Names website & also inspired from a drama show at Astro Prima

12. Am pregnant for 38 weeks (9 1/2 months) before the waterbag broke : )

So what are your trivias??? Feel free to share....

The end of my Pantang session

hahaha...akhirnya dah cukup pantang 44 hari...legaaaaa *clap!clap!clap!*

lepas bersalin mesti diikuti dgn adat berpantang selama lebih kurang 40-44 hari, antara benda wajib buat dalam sesi berpantang ni adalah :



-pakai setokin 24-7 (takut masuk angin)

-sapu minyak herba especially kat perut,pinggang, betis dan kaki

-jaga makan (jangan makan benda2 sejuk, gatal, bisa & berangin)

-makanan sangat limited..(paling popular adalah ikan bilis, sayur pulak limited hari2 sup sawi)

-sesi berurut (yang ni syamariz suka..yang tak suka mak bidannya yang suka mengomel itu ini)

-takleh kuar rumah suka hati..takleh kuar malam (agak tensen jugak la terperap kat umah sebulan lebeyy)

-pakai bengkung, berparam, bertangas, berpilis etc (bengkung memang pakai hari2 cuma yang lain2 tu malas nak buat, tersangat leceh)

-mandi air rebusan herba (mula2 rajin lelama dah malas sebab berkejar dengan baby takde masa merebus herba tu)

-bertungku (yang ni pun mula2 hubby rajin tlg buatkan, lelama tersadai ajer besi tungku tu kat dapur hehe)

-makan ubat/jamu (takde masalah sebab amik pil bersalin Amway je bukan jamu)



waktu berpantang nie rupanya leh psiko betul, syamariz sebenarnya tak kisah pun menjalani adat berpantang tapi yang tensennya bila org dok asyik remind kita...



"pakai bengkung tak, kang perut menggeleber, pungkok lebaq (punggung lebar) etc etc"

"eh naper tak pakai setokin nie" (padal baru bukak sekejap cos pegi toilet)

"haaa..yang tu takleh makan, yang ni pun tak boleh jugakk"

"eh naper kuar rumah tu..cepat masuk balik dalam"

"panjat tangga tu pelan2..jangan jalan laju sangat"

"jangan dok main air lama2"



dan lain-lain teguran lagii...nak buat cemana, tahan aje la...untuk kebaikan diri sendiri jugak, cuma tak sedap bila asyik la di'remind'kan..rasa helpless pulakk



so hopefully dah abis sesi pantang ni rasa bebas sikit nak bergerak...apapun makan mesti mau jaga jugak, orang kata nanti effect waktu hari tua nanti...seafood kalau leh elak makan setahun (woww lamanya), macam tu jugak makanan2 yang bisa cam rebung, keladi, pucuk ubi etc



apapun dah habis pantang nie, badan syamariz macam tak berapa nak turun..masalah besar bila nak sarung balik baju2 lama terutamanya seluar jeans...nak tahan makan takut effect breastmilk yang tak seberapa nie dan takut baby kembung bila perut kita kosong, so tiada kompromi nak kena exercise...syamariz kena kuatkan hati berlari balik atas treadmill yang tersadai tepi dinding tu...



apapun syamariz dah abis berpantang dengan jayanya...usah ditanya bila nak mengandung lagi haha, masih trauma woooo ...maybe sebab masih baru, maybe jugak because i had a not so easy pregnancy...maybe akan dipikirkan bila dah setahun nanti. Goodluck to all new mothers yang menjalani adat berpantang!!

Kelahiran Nayra Qalesya

Sedar tak sedar dah 22 hari baby lahir..rasa dok teringat lagi waktu meloya masa mula2 pregnant, waktu tersiksa sakit sini-sana masa tengah sarat mengandung, waktu baby dok tendang2 dalam perut dan tentunya waktu sakit nak bersalin...



Sesungguhnya catatan ini akan menjadi nostalgia untuk dikenang seumur hidup, catatan kenangan sewaktu melahirkan my first baby..yang menjadikan hidupku lengkap sebagai seorang isteri dan ibu..this is for you my little princess!!



1 November 2009 :



2.45am - Terjaga dari tido...perutku tiba2 mengeras (contraction) dgn jangkawaktu yang lama, around 20 minutes, pelik..selalunya dalam 2-3 minit aje sekali contraction, memang setiap malam pun akan mengalaminya, is this a sign already??? Hmmm..malas nak pikir, baik sambung tido balik. Semalam pun tido lambat, around 12 lebih sebab perut terasa mengeras lain macam, sakit sangat..ditambah dengan tendangan baby yang aktifnya lain macam ajer..macam dah tak sabar2 nak keluar



5.45am - Terjaga dari tido sekali lagi, terasa macam ada air keluar..aikk did i just pee without control?? Takkan kot...dah besar panjang camni tak penah lagi la tershishi dalam tido. Hmm..i tried to calm down and terus jump out of bed. Air tadi terus mengalir keluar....ehh air ketuban dah pecah ker? I went to the bathroom and terus cuci...alamak lupa pulak nak sniff, i read that it is colourless & odourless, terlupa pulak nak check sebab dah panik, hmmm..baring jap tengok ada lagi tak



6.00am - Waktu baring, air tadi terus keluar lagi, syamariz bingkas bangun dan kalini terus check, confirm takde bau, memang sah air ketuban..IT IS TIME!!!! Terus kejutkan Mr B dan bagitau, dia terus cakap ok jom gi hospital, we managed to have a bath first... and i put on some lipstick & bedak..sempat lagi tu hehe



7.15am - Sampai kat DEMC, dalam perjalanan tadi i tried to maintain cool wpun sebenarnya hati berdebar2 Allah saja yang tahu. Sampai kat carpark, waktu keluar dari kereta air ketuban masih tak henti2 mengalir, nasib baik awal pagi ni tak ramai org, kalau tidak malu jugakk..cepat2 kami naik terus ke tingkat 2. Dekat assessment room, air ketuban masih terus mengalir, syamariz pun naik heran..memang macam ni ker?? Tanya kat nurse..dia kata memang air tu akan terus mengalir sampai waktu nak bersalin nanti, kesian kat makcik cleaner, terpaksa mop air ketubanku yang asyik melimpah keluar membasahi lantai hehe...



7.30am - Salin baju hospital, buat ECG scan, check contraction & heartbeat baby..sementara tu Mr B pegi carik breakfast dulu, apa2 hal pun kena makan dulu nanti takut takde tenaga pulak nak push kan...Dr Mazita (my O&G selain Dr Norleen) datang check bukaan, dah 5cm...wowww ye ke, dia tengok air ketuban pun clear so should be ok. Dia estimate sebelum zuhur akan bersalin..Last appmt dgn doc, which was last monday, bukaan 1cm so it took me around a week for it to dilate to another 4cm



8.30am - Mr B bought me nasik lemak & kuih but i can only eat 2 pieces of kuih. Nurse pesan jangan makan heavy sangat nanti muntah kat labour room. Lepas makan, nurse push ubat bagi keluar all my bobo out of the rectum so it won't get in the way in the labour process, then i just waited in the room till further notice



9.30am - I was wheeled to the labour room, well the room didn't look so scary as in the movies ( i was imagining like Operation Theatre ker at that time)..on contrary macam wad biasa ajer, tak kisah la janji i am in good hands! My mom arrived soon after..so Mr B & my mom gilir2 temankan syamariz kat labour room tu. Sambil menunggu tu, i chatted with hubby & mom, baca suratkhabar, termenung, baca surah2 untuk menenangkan fikiran yang agak takut nie etc etc



Nurse pasangkan IV and kept on asking me dah rasa nak meneran ke belum. Hmm..rasa biasa ajer, memang la terasa perut ada mengeras tapi tak la sakit sangat. She asked me to let her know if feel the urge to push



10.30am - Hmmm..lapar la pulak, minta Mr B belikan roti canai banjir kat Pelita sebelah DEMC nih...sempat la makan, baru la terasa lega perut yang berkeroncong nie



11.30am - Nurse (Midwife) check bukaan dah 7cm...sakit dah mula terasa, tapi boleh tahan lagi..



11.45am - Bukaan dah 8cm..ouchhh sakit la asyik kena check bukaan nih!! Waktu nie contraction dah semakin kerap..around 2 minit sekali. Bila datang sakit tu, memang dah tak keruan jadinya, sampai dah tak tau nak bernafas macam mana. Time datang sakit tu, memang menggelupurlah..dah tak tau nak pikir apa, tak tau nak pegang apa dah, my mom kept on bacakan ayat2 suci nak tolong redakan sakit. Last2 agaknya dia pun dah tak tahan tengok syamariz menggelupur, terus tuka shift dgn hubby. Mr B masuk temankan isteri tercintanya nie yang dah berpeluh2



Sakit contraction dah jadi selang seminit, rasa nak meneran pun dah datang, Dr Norleen datang tepat pada masanya. Masa nie rasanya its soooo hard to remain calm or focused. I kept on staring at the ceiling and grip the steel at the bedsite to remain conscious & stable. Dah tak selesa pegang tangan Mr B sebab bergoyang2. Kesian dia..mesti sakit syamariz dok tarik2 tu. At the same time, hubby terus usap kepala & remind me to keep on breathing. Kadang2 nurse bagi oxygen mask to help me breath but i found it harder to breath in that thing!!



I refused to take epidural. Since beginning, i have set my mind not to take any epidurals as long as i could bare with the pain. Teringin rasanya nak melalui saat2 bersalin normal, termasuklah merasai kesakitannya sewaktu nak push baby keluar. Alhamdulillah, wpun sakit yang teramat tapi Allah mengurniakan kesabaran untukku menangani kesakitan itu tanpa bantuan ubat.



12.28noon - Nayra Qalesya lahir ke dunia. Sesungguhnya perasaan lega tak dapat nak dibendung lagi...lega sangat dapat terlepas dari sakit contraction & meneran tadi, serta lega sangat tengok baby sihat & sempurna. Sempat terdetik di fikiran..oooo macam ini rupa anak aku hehe...syamariz sempat merasa baby diletakkan di dada seketika sebelum nurse bawak keluar untuk dibersihkan. Lepas baby selamat dilahirkan, doc teruskan procedure keluarkan uri, stitch everything back to places & clean me up...Dr Norleen was sooo cool & calm while handling me just now. Time dia jahit pun, syamariz dah rasa mcm nak terlelap dah..letihh wooo. Tapi tak lama lepas tu, rahim dah terasa sakit. Berdenyut2 macam period pain, only much worse. Rahim dah start nak mengecut. Bila nurse bawak masuk baby pun tak berdaya nak pegang dah, letih & rahim yang tersangat sakit...



Mr B bawak masuk baby dan sempat mengazan & qamat ke telinganya. Matanya ku lihat sebak & bergenang airmata kesyukuran...Dia sempat berbisik tak sangka katanya aku dapat melahirkan secara normal tanpa bantuan epidural, cuma kena vakum jer sikit...rasa seperti tak percaya syamariz dah bergelar ibu. Inilah saat2 yang ku tunggu selama ini...terasa hidup serba lengkap, syukur Alhamdulillah Allah telah memperkenankan doa hambanya ini dan telah menganugerahkan sesuatu yang tiada tandingan nilainya di dunia ini...Nayra Qalesya!!!
