Counting the days

The days are getting nearer. My ETA is on 8th January 2009. Somehow for this pregnancy, my anxiety a bit stronger. Perhaps because the baby is big (it was 2.7kg at 35 weeks) or perhaps it just my psychology feeling.

It has been 3 days and 4 nights without the kids. I send them to balik kampung with Mak and EE. Yes, that includes my manja boy, Amil. He was crying really hard when Ardi forced him to the EE's car. Sian anak mummy. Tapi kena lar blajar. To my relieve, both of them are doing okay in JB. They'll be back today and I'll pick them tomorrow afternoon at Sepang.

It has also been 3 days and 3 nights without hubby. Ardi is in Kerteh now. He will only be back tomorrow. I will pick him up at the airport after my appointment.

It's kind of bored they are not around. So yesterday I took an EL (heheh) claiming got headache which I frequently have to spend a day to myself. So sempat lar gi bank, buat facial, buat hair treatment, balik tido and gi pasar malam.

Things that happened to me with this pregnancy

1) Very bad first trimester - diarrhea, gastric, bad vomiting, nausea, not able to eat, headache - cause less energetic
2) Love to eat fish, unable to eat most vegetables except raw vege, chicken meat depends
3) Very very tired (very subjective but really tired compared to the earlier two)
4) Third trimester - after sit then stand and walk - the lower body part feel very painful - dr said this is due to baby pressure
5) Seem to eat vitamin a bit less
6) Uncontrollable anger especially towards Anisah and Amil

So far ni je yg terpikir..

The only thing I need to do is to put the bags in the car.

Got this from a website..

Tanda-tanda Hampir Bersalin

1) Bayi turun ke bawah

Perut menjadi ringan sekitar dua minggu sebelum kelahiran kerana kepala bayi sudah pun 'turun' ke dalam kawasan rangka tulang pelvis. Anda mungkin terasa:

* sakit di bahagian kelangkang kerana bayi menekan.
* kerap membuang air kecil semasa ini kerana bayi menekan pundi kencing
* sakit perut, memulas
* kerap buang air besar
* kerap terkentut

2) Keluar lendir pekat atau keluar darah bercampur lendir

* Lendir pekat seperti gam lekang dari laluan pintu rahim apabila pintu rahim mula menipis.
* Lendir bercampur darah pula keluar apabila pintu rahim mula membuka. Boleh berlaku beberapa jam atau beberapa hari sebelum bersalin. Segera ke hospital.

3) Sakit belakang

* Bayi beralih dan menekan tulang belakang anda.
* Untuk mengurangkan sakit belakang anda, posisikan diri anda seperti merangkak (tapi jangan merangkak ke depan!), dan angkat atau tinggikan badan anda ke atas, tunggu kiraan 5 dan rehatkan badan anda. Ulangi lagi.
* Anda juga boleh mengurangkannya dengan banyakkan berjalan. Ia juga akan mempercepatkan kelahiran anda.
* Jika sukar untuk anda berjalan, minta suami anda urut belakang anda dengan kuat semasa anda berbaring mengiring.

4) Pecah air ketuban

Air ini biasanya keluar dengan banyak dari vagina. Warnanya jernih, tanpa bau. Segera ke hospital.

Doktor akan melakukan pemeriksaan vagina. Pembukaan di bahagian pangkal rahim atau servik dikesan dengan skala 1 hingga 10.

5) Kontraksi yang tetap dan berterusan

Kira kontraksi atau pengecutan otot rahim anda. Buat jadual. Baca seterusnya di artikel "Kontraksi, Kelahiran Sebenar atau Palsu"


Bila Perlu ke Hospital

Segera ke Hospital untuk kepastian doktor bila:

* kontraksi 5 minit sekali selama 1 jam. (datang lebih cepat jika anda tinggal jauh. Anda pasti tak mahu bersalin dalam kereta. :-) )
* keluar air ketuban.
* pergerakan bayi menjadi kurang kerap.
* keluar darah dari vagina.
* apa saja masalah yang dialami.
