Boy Jr - Seminggu Umurnye

Salam,

Alhamdulillah... genap seminggu umur anak kedua kami.  Setelah berbincang, kami sepakat menamakan beliau dengan nama Amsyar Zafri bin Shah Rizal bermaksud Yang Cergas KemenanganKu.

Amsyar dilahirkan secara pembedahan pada jam 12.45 tgh hari, 8 November 2012 bersamaan 23 Zulhijjah 1433 Hijrah.  CR ditolak ke operation theater tepat jam 12.30 tgh hari selepas check-up bulanan pada 7 November 2012.  Menurut Dr Ishaireen, uri / placenta CR telah terlampau matang sehingga terdapat pembentukan garam [CR kurang faham].  Namun yang pastinya, uri yang terlampau matang mengurangkan efficiency uri tersebut dalam membekalkan zat makanan dan oxygen kepada bayi.  Selain daripada itu, amniotic fluid CR juga berada pada tahap minimum, orang kata cukup2 je.  Baby weight juga tidak bertambah berbanding check-up seminggu yang lepas.  Justeru, Dr tidak mahu mengambil risiko Dr sarankan CR segera melahirkan BOY Jr kami.

Memanglah hasrat hati ingin bersalin normal, tapi inilah yang terbaik untuk kami.  CR terima dengan redha memandangkan kedudukan bayi masih transverse pada 37 weeks.  Inilah yang terbaik yang Allah tentukan.

Dalam 10 hari ni, Amsyar still have jaundice pada tahap 11mg/dl selepas peningkatan dari 10 mg/dl (Day 5), 11.5 mg/dl (Day 7) dan 13.1 mg/dl (Day 9).  Harapnya check-up pada hari ke 12 nanti menunjukkan penurunan juga.  Semoga Amsyar will have fast recovery...

Dua hero kami; Adam & Amsyar

Gestational Diabetes

Salam,

I have to undergo Maternity Glucose Tolerant Test (MGTT) at 32 weeks.  Unfortunately my glucose level are at the border line which is 7.8 mmol/L.  Boleh dikatakan CR ni mempunyai aras gula yang agak tinggi dalam darah.

I have to go for Blood Sugar Profile test and Alhamdulillah, past semua lah.  but still CR perlu menjaga dan mengawal kadar pengambilan carbohydrate sehari.  It is for the safety of my baby.

So, kali ni CR  nak kongsi sedikit info tentang Diabetes pada Wanita Mengandung yang dikenali sebagai Gestational Diabetes (GDM).

GDM ni memang common pada wanita mengandung walaupun sangat rendah percentage wanita yang menghidapinya. Antara wanita yang berisiko tinggi untuk menghidapi GDM adalah:

• obese [saya tak]
• have gestational dibetes in previous pregnancy [saya tak jugak]
• mengandungi gula dalam urine [saya tak]
• mempunyai sejarah ahli keluarga yang menghidap diabetes [yeah, my father!]

Selain tu, wanita itu juga dikatakan mempunya faktor risiko menghidap GDM sekiranya:

• pernah melahirkan baby yang besar 4 hingga 4.5 kg [saya tak]
• pernah lahirkan bayi yang kurang sempurna atau kematian bayi dalam kandungan [mita jauhkan lah]
• mempunyai high blood pressure.
• umur semasa mengandung adalah 35 dan ke atas

Walaupun pada mulanya CR tak pernah ambil berat pun tentang GDM ni, tapi rupanya kesannya terhadap bayi dalam kandungan amat bahaya.

Moga diberi kekuatan untuk CR mengawal pemakanan dlm keadaan sekarang ni...

take care.

Mama & Baby Fair 2012 MITC Melaka : Aim ape?

Salam,

haaa, 14 - 16 Setember ni [starts today:)] Mama & Baby Fair 2012 will be held in Melaka and the most important thing is MITC is only 10 mins from our home:)  heheheh nampak tak kegedikkan di situ?

Memula tu CR pk malas nak pergi and takde intention pun nak menghabiskan masa sangat kat tempat ramai-ramai org ni:)  Until one of my colleague ask me to buy few packet of disposable diapers for her little one.  Haa di situlah datang perasaan serampang dua mata:)  Yelah, dah alang-alang kita pergi boleh lah survey apa2 yang patut.

Actually, CR dah pergi tadi...and sebenarnye tak ramai org lagi coz dah malam and this is the first day. BUT... awang gode ku [si Adam] ni dah kelaparan pulak...asik jerit nak makan, nak makan... cam mak ayah dia tak bagi makan dari rumah pulak... so, masa untuk mata merewang tu terhad...just survey booth mana yang akan terus ku tuju esok, InsyaAllah.

CR dah senaraikan barang yang harus ditengok beserta prices comparison which is

1. Set of newborn bodysuit - just nak survey je.  Kalau beli pun sebab cute kut...baju abang Adam still ada yang boleh guna. May be nak tambah 2-3 pasang untuk baby lagi.

• Online Price : RM35.90        
• Expo Price : ada beberapa jenis brand, tak perasan pulak harga, but still in that range

1. Breast Milk  Storage - ramai yang suka beli bottle storage tapi bottle sangat consume tempat.  Fridge kat rumah ni dah ler sederhana je, so its better to have plastic storage so that boleh susun secara meleper.

• Autumnz 12oz [pack of 25] - yang ni kira ok sebab ada double zip-lock.  satu lagi brand lagi murah but kene ikat pulak guna getah:(
• Online Price : RM11.60  Expo Price : RM10.00

1. Receiving Blanket - saje nak beli buat simpanan stock kain flannel.  Sebab comel-comel.  Kalau rajin leh jahit jadi burp cloth.  Tapi tak jumpa pulak dalam set.  Dia dah jual loose and the print not so attractive.

• Online Price : RM39.90 / set of 3 - Rm49.90 / set of 4
• Expo Price : RM10 / pcs

1. Swaddle Pod by Gugu - Baru terbaca kat google.  Cara baru membedung baby, so that tak delah tercabut je bedungan.  Kalau tengok kainnya ok, just nak beli 2 je kut.  Bedung Moden ni guna zip, and the zip boleh pergi 2 arah.  Dari atas ke bawah / bawah ke atas ikut keperluan.

• Contohnya:  Kalau nak tukar diapers baby, buka zip dari bawah so that tangan dia still terbedung:) dan vice versa
• Harga Online : RM35.00
• Harga Expo : tak jenguk boothnye lagi, tapi dah ternampak tadi...

1. Whoopee Diapers - Ni yang paling utama sebab diamanahkan oleh orang untuk membelinya:)

• Harga Kedai : RM30.00
• Harga Expo : RM25.00 [belilah seberapa banyak yang larat, but tolong jangan tanya kenapa jenama ni jadi pilihan sebab bukan CR yang guna, ye:)]

okeh, nantikan entry berkenaan hasil tangkapan ye...kut-kut bertambah ke....ataupun tak mencapai target:)

Project September

Salam,

Selepas mengodek-godek kain dan google apa yang patut, inilah project yang bakal dibuat [harapnye siaplah:)] bulan ini:)

Project #1 Baby Burp Cloth

Project ini dah siap sebahagiannya.  Tiba-tiba penyakit M melanda pulak.  CR gunakan flannel at one side and prefold cloth diaper (kain lampin putih je) for the other side.  Banyak blog and website suggest guna chennile fabric (cam kain tuala), printed cotton untuk attractive effect.  Tapi kain lampin ada banyak sangat.  Almaklumlah, kalau kain lampin zaman Adam, zaman Ateh and Acu pun ada lagi Mama CR simpan...so kita gunalah apa yang ada.

Pattern used is from Cloud9Fabrics.  Ada step by step methods lagi.

Project #2 Baby Tummy Binder aka Barut Bayi

Still gunakan fabric flannel yang same dengan burp cloth, cuma inner sidenya CR nak gunakan white plain cotton so that lembut pada kulit baby and kurang effect terlipatnya apabila digunakan.

Tapi...project ni baru 20% je kut.  Still in the stage gunting kain flannel.  Yang putih dalam gambar tu Abang Adam punya, as pattern:)

Kebetulan dah ada 5 barut lama dari zaman Adam, CR nak tambah 4 cukuplah:)

Pattern nya adalah dari buatan MIL masa zaman Adam dulu:)

Flannel fabric ni daripada receiving blanket yang
CR pernah beli tahun lepas

p/s: ada tips dari Dilla from a woman's life on how to sew baby tummy binder:) tq Dilla

Project #3 Pillow Cover utk Abang Adam

Sibuk menjahit dan menggunting kain untuk baby, Abang dia nak juga.  baru jahitkan pillow cover masa Ramadhan lepas, tapi Adam dah request for the new one yang almost the same cam burp cloth baby.  Cari punya cari, adalah lagi kain flannel tapi memang tak cukup untuk 2 bantalnye.  So, kita improvise sikit, asal ada almost same printed with baby...:) ---> cadangnya

[yang ni baru pilih kain...hehehe]

Project #4 Cushion Cover

Haa...nilah antara project tertunda, aim nak buat lima.  Tapi yang siapnye 2 je, lagi 3 tak cukup benang pulak nak top-stitch.  Siap sepenuhnya dalam bulan September [that's why I assume this is September Projects']

For this cushion cover, CR guna fabric dari IKEA LILLIVI Fabric RM25.90/m combine with plain fabric [tak ingat pulak nak tgk namenye:) I use red and black plain fabric]

LILLIVI Fabric from IKEA

Front view with Adam

Back view - Itulah rupanye kalau tak cukup kain,ye:)

Nanti kalau ada tambahan project, I'll update ye.  Hasil mutlak akan dipost dalam entry akan, akan, akan datang....InsyaAllah.

Take care lovelies:)

List Barang Bayi

Asaalamualaikum,

ye, inilah perkara wajib...SHOPPING!
Tapi sebelum shopping, haruslah ada perancangan terlebih dahulu.  Menginjak usia kandungan 24 minggu CR dah mula membuat sedikit list [ye ke sedikit....cam berjela-jela je!] ye, walaupun ini bukan kandungan pertama, namun sedikit persediaan mental dan budget perlu ada.

Kesimpulan CR, bukan semua barang yang ada dalam kebanyakan baby checklist yang ada di g**gle tu adalah keperluan.  Ada benda yang tak dan nak guna pun.  CR katakan begitu based on pengalaman dengan My Boy dulu.

Ihsan GOOGLE

This list adalah yang CR dah ubahsuai berdasarkan pengalaman CR.

Diapering and Clothing

• Disposable diapers [at least for the first week]
• Cloth Diapers [at least 10 untuk selang seli guna ngan disposable diapers]
• Wet wipes [beli packet sangat berbaloi]
• Nappy liners [beli je Anakku sekotak dulu]
• Diaper rash cream [CR tak pernah guna, dari Adam kami guna Eubos Med Sensitive Skin Lotion]
• Receiving Blanket / Bedung [tambah dalam 2-3 helai -- nak kelainan, boleh jahit sendiri]
• Barut baby / tummy binder [memang tak banyak sejak Adam sbb hari2 basuh kain,kan...so perlu tambah beberapa helai lagi] CR jahit di sini
• Baju lengan pendek, panjang, mitten and booties [akan perincikan kemudian]
• Toiletteries [just buy the basic one, as for me kalau bukan Johnson, pilihannya adalah Eubos top to toe wash]
• Bathtub [Adam punye still elok, just nak kene cari je mana CR letak heheh]

Feeding Equipment / Nursing

• Breastpump [hantar service]
• Breast Milk Storage [boleh start beli dalam cuti berpantang,ye. Online shopping je senang]
• Cooler Bag and Cooling aid [dah ada, to first time mommy kalau beli online masa cuti bersalin pun ok]
• Warmer and Sterilizer [tak beraper penting, boleh beli masa cuti pantang ikut keperluan dan budget]
• Feeding bottle, teat, bottle brush, pacifier, thermos, bottle warmer [if nak fully breastfeed, tak perlu beli lagi.  Ajar diri untuk bagi direct feed juga pada baby]
• Burp Cloth [boleh guna towel kecil / cantikkan dengan jahit sendiri] CR jahit di sini

Furniture and Beddings

• Changing Table and Changing Mat [kalau terasa perlu baru beli, nak kene pk banyak lagi ni]
• Crib and Matress [guna Adam punya--jimat]
• Matress cover [perlu sebab guna matress lama]
• Matress sheet, pillow and bolster cover [rasa perlu menggunakan khidmat mesin jahit CR ni]
• Dresser [bakul je sudah, senang nak capai]
• Towel

Gear

• audio / monitor [co-sleeping, no need the gadget]
• Baby sling / carrier [belum perlu lagi]
• bathtub [still elok Adam punye]
• car seat [perlu sebab Adam punye dah lama sangat]
• clothing hanger and diaper pail [guna yang ada kat rumah je, takkan korang tak de penyangkut bulat nak sidai anak2 dan dalam-dalaman?]
• Stroller [kene g tengok atas cabinet, ok lagi ke tak stroller ni?]

Basically, these are the things yang perlu CR pertimbangkan, untuk mommies lain mungkin ada beberapa item tambahan.  Walaubagaimanapun, kalau dah ada basic item cam list CR ni dah kira cukup dah:)

Jimat Macam Hagemaru?

Salam,

Sempena cuti Merdeka Day semalam, CR dah mula memunggah kain baju lama Adam.  Ada yang masih berbau wangi lagi, sebab dicuci masa menanti kelahiran arwah Aiesya.  Memang banyak baju-baju Adam yang masih elok, tapi banyak juga yang dah hilang partner.

Sedang CR sibuk melihat-lihat, Adam pun datang meninjau dan bertanya itu dan ini.

Ibu:  Tengok ni, ni semua baju Adam masa baby. Banyak,kan?
Adam: Ibu nak buat apa ni? O, ni baju Adam ye?
Ibu: Baju Adam kan elok lagi, nnt boleh bagi baby. Boleh jimat sikit,kan?
Adam: Ibu pun nak jadi macam mama Hagemaru ye?
Ibu: heheheh same ke?

Adui anak bujang ku dah pandai menyamakan pulak......

Antenatal Check-up

Salam,
Alhamdulillah, usia kandungan CR telah pun masuk 6 bulan lebih dan menghampiri 7 bulan. Alhamdulillah, setakat ini semuanya dipermudahkan Allah dan CR berdoa semuanya berjalan lancar dan rezeki kami dimurahkan lagi kali ini.

Untuk pregnancy kali ini muka CR ni mmg muka g klinik tuk check-up. Kami ambil keputusan untuk hadiri check-up di Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak selain daripada pemantauan Doktor Pakar di hospital swasta. Kenapa? Pengalaman lepas membuatkan CR lebih berhati-hati memandangkan masih ada trauma di sudut hati. Lagipun, CR percaya Allah akan bantu andainya kita lebih berikhtiar,kan?

So, entry kali ni CR nak banding-bezakan apa yang berlaku during antenatal check-up di Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak (KKIA) serta Klinik Oby-Gyn.

Rutin Check-Up:
Di KKIA, kita perlu daftarkan diri dan buat buku pink sebelum usia kandungan mencecah 12 minggu.  Lagi awal, lagilah baik,kan supaya perkembangan janin dapat dipastikan seawal mungkin.  Bagi CR untuk kali ini, CR menyerah diri seawal 8 minggu mengandung.
Setiap kali lawatan [3-4 minggu sekali check] berat badan, blood pressure, urine test and Hb test akan dilakukan. Lepas tu masuk bilik nurse check tinggi perut [lepas 16 minggu] and jantung baby [lepas 20 minggu].  Then jika perlu dirujuk kepada Peg Perubatan aka Dr untuk scan atau pemerhatian.  Kali pertama Dr scan, and akan beri appoinment utk scan yang berikutnya [20 minggu] dan perancangan berdasarkan rekod pregnancy lepas.

Buku Pink KKIA - ada makluman untuk kita ambil perhatian:)

CR memulakan sesi dengan Oby-Gyn ni sejak sebelum pregnant kerana pregnancy kali ni memang dirancang selepas lebih 6 bulan berusaha dan mengambilkira previous history.  As stated in this entry, CR menggunakan bantuan hormone untuk meningkatkan kesuburan.  Jadi 6 minngu selepas consume hormon tersebut, check-up mendapati ada tanda CR mengandung. Lalu series of check-up pun bermula hingga sekarang

Check up di Klinik Oby-Gyn hanya merekodkan berat badan, blood pressure dan urine test.  Selain itu, ultra-sound dan consultation dari Oby-Gyn sendiri.  Kiranya setiap kali check up dapatlah bertanya terus apa-apa yang merisaukan dan boleh request for extra appoinment jika ada keganjilan yang berlaku [such as extra discharge dll]

Appointment Card - Ni jelah yang kita bawa, no rujukan, ingat je,ye

Perasaan:
Kita di Malaysia patutnya bersyukur kerana diberikan banyak subsidi tentang perubatan.  Walaupun pelbagai aduan dan complaint, kita harus terima kerana perkhidmatan yang diberikan adalah percuma dan mereka mencuba sehabis baik.  Cuma ketegasan petugas-petugas ni adakalanya membuatkan kita agak stress.  Pelbagai protokol perlu diikuti.  Namun, CR ambil pendekatan, senyum sahaja supaya mereka pun tak menyampah, CR pun tak stress.

Mungkin sebab CR sentiasa mendapatkan details and consultation dari Oby-Gyn, jadi kerisauan dapat dikurangkan.  Kalau anda pernah dengar, yeast infection in pregnant women is common.  Dan situasi ni dah 2 kali melanda CR.  Ya, ia agak merisaukan kerana yeast and bacteria infections during pregnancy merupakan salah satu sebab kepada kelahiran bayi pra-matang dan penyebab kebocoran amniotic fluid.  Jadi dah 2 kali CR terpaksa consume antibiotic and undergoes HVS test [High Vaginal Swab].

Dan sehingga saat kelahiran kelak, Oby-Gyn telah menyenaraikan series of test and precautions yang perlu diambil berdasarkan past pregnancy history CR which is

1. @28 weeks - CR perlu ambil betamethasone injections 1 cycle [2 injections]
2. @32 weeks - CR akan jalani HVS sekali lagi
3. pemantauan kedudukan uri/placenta [i've history with placenta previa and bleeding during pregnancy]

Bayaran:
Pastilah KKIA yang menerima subsidi daripada kerajaan mengenakan bayaran yang murah.  Kalau anda penjawat awam semuanya FOC.  Alhamdulillah...

Tapi jika di Klinik Specialist bayarannya berbeza mengikut tempat dan bandar yang kita bermastautin.  Bagi CR minimum charge adalah RM80 setiap kali pertemuan.  Jika ada ujian-ujian tertentu yang perlu dilakukan, charge tambahan akan dikenakan.

So, kawan-kawan buatlah pilihan yang tepat ketika memilih tempat untuk antenatal check-up berdasarkan budget, keperluan dan kemudahan masing-masing.

Take care lovelies:)

Hadiah utk Minggu Ini

Salam,

Alhamdulillah, hari ni kandungan dah masuk ke Minggu ke-23... Setakat ni alhamdulillah semuanya berjalan lancar dan CR mengharapkan Allah akan terus memudahkan urusan ini, InsyaAllah.

Memandangkan CR memang berazam nak puasa penuh tahun ni [moga diberi kesempatan, InsyaAllah] maka, CR dah laburkan untuk menghadiahkan diri sendiri dengan ini:)

Yelah, setakat ni, alhamdulillah penat sangat ke, penat sikit ke... CR memang akan memasak untuk family.  Maklumlah, tak sampai hati menolak permintaan suami yang agak cerewet kalau nak makan di luar @ beli ni.  Tak pelah, bukan untuk siapa,kan?

Tapi memang berpuasa menguji kesabaran sebab bawak ke petang, memang sangat exhausted.  Mesti tidur walau sekejap untuk boost tenaga.  So, CR perlukan extra supplement selain daripada prenatal vitamin yang telah dibekalkan.

Semoga pelaburan ini berbaloi!

PREGNANCY : Yang paling ditakuti

Salam,

Memang ramai yang pregnant and masing-masing ada kenangan dan igauan yang mereka paling takuti.  As for me, pengalaman memang sangat menakutkan.  Pengalaman bleeding during pregnancy.  Mana taknya, bleeding? pregnancy? Sangat ironic!

Pengalaman mengandung kali kedua dengan bleeding yang agak teruk since 5 month.  Ditambah dengan placenta previa stage 2.  Bukan setakat bleeding sikit2 sampai terbocor2 pad.  Rupa-rupanya, amniotic fluid CR bocor campur darah.  Kenapa?  Towards the end, Dr pun tak dapat detect sebabnya.  Ishk, itulah kenangan yang tak boleh CR lupakan.  Minta-minta Allah jauhkan dari semua ibu-ibu yang mengandung...Amin.

CR berdoa, mengandung kali ini akan lebih dipermudahkan oleh Allah.  Semoga CR diberi kesihatan untuk mengandungkan adik Adam yang sihat. Amin....

PS:  Kalau ada yang mengalami pengalaman yang hampir same, janganlah tunggu, terus sahaja ke Hospital ataupun dapatkan second advice daripada Gynea anda...Duit boleh cari,kan?....

33 days Diary

24th Oct 2009

Ibu is 28 weeks and 2 days pregnant
- 4 days warded at Hospital Melaka due to PV bleed
- on 20th Oct, Dr said that the placenta is now anterior upper section
- tapi amniotic fluid cukup-cukup jer...
- Dr diagnose that there might be leakage during the bleeding
- Ibu has to take antibiotics for 10 days starting from 22nd Oct

31st Oct 2009 : 10.51pm
Ibu is 29 weeks and 3 days pregnant- 11 days warded
- on IV Rocephin (antibiotics) for 7 days due to infections (high sensitivity to pseudomonas)
- therefore, Ibu has to undergoes daily CTG, biweekly scan and doppler, biweekly blood test - currently amniotic fluid is still low [only 6.4]
- baby is breech, if there are sign of chorioamnionitis, Ibu has to deliver the baby through Ceserean...but Dr will wait as long as possible so that baby is ready....

"Chorioamnionitis is a condition that can affect pregnant women in which the chorion and amnion (the membranes that surround the fetus) and the amniotic fluid (in which the fetus floats) are infected by bacteria. This can lead to infection in both the mother and fetus, and, in most cases means the fetus has to be delivered as soon as possible."

-clevelandclinic.org-

31st Oct 2009 : 11.20pm
Ibu is 30 weeks pregnant
-16 days warded
-generally, all CTG are accepted for 29-30 weeks baby
-according to scan and doppler done by Dr Tricia, baby's heart and the body development are still normal
-AFI still dropping to 3.8 about a quarter than it should be
-so, Dr estimate that the operation will be done in the 32nd week of pregnancy
Ibu hope by that time baby's weight is higher and the body system is mature enough. Ibu also pray so that Allah will give the best for all of us.

"gedeguk" baby is kicking:)

10th Nov 2009 : 4.08pm

Ibu is 30 weeks and 5 days pregnant -22 days warded

-AFI is still low. Only 4 and the baby is breech
-CTG is accepted

-Yesterday, colour of discharge is different from usual. After VE (Ibu doesn't likes it), it consider as usual discharge and not one sign of chorioamnionitis.

-Date of delivery through ceserean has been booked on 20th November 2009

Ibu hope everything will be fine......Amin...

14th Nov 2009 : 12.26pm

My miracle baby girl has been safely delivered on 11th November 2009 at 4.25pm through emergency operation at Hospital Batu Pahat....Far and far away from Melaka...

Now Ibu still at Muar at rumah Mak. Alhamdulillah Ibu has been discharge from the hospital yesterday. Unfortunately, baby Aiesya (means 'Life') still at the hospital because she still need the ventilator and the incubator in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. (will write about write about all the new term which Ibu has discovered in the NICU later...)

Ibu hope Aiesya will be stronger and stronger everyday...I miss you so much my girl....

Apa fungsi Amniotic fluid/air ketuban?? and What is Irritable Uterus (IU)?

Last friday, aku n Hubby ke Klinik Amal, scanning lagi...coz asik risau jer pasal baby...lagipun tetiba kat sekolah sebelah paginya, aku sakit lagi...sian kakak-kakak Kimia and Fiza...Risau pasal aku...

so, Dr said that I'm suffering the Irritable Uterus during Pregnancy...Ada jugak bendalah nih yer??? Dah ler Low Lying Placenta, Dr said I must have enough rest, kiranya senang cakap...kalau kat rumah tuh baring jer...bangun bila nak masak, makan or buat mende2 yang kene berdiri...
kalau aku penat, baby will stress and my uterus will cramp and causing the bleeding session...

when baby is stress, the amount/volume of amniotic fluid is decreasing...and that is danger....

so, this is several info on amniotic fluid..

Amniotic fluid or liquor amnii is the nourishing and protecting liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a pregnant woman. The amniotic sac grows and begins to fill, mainly with water, around two weeks after fertilization.

After a further 10 weeks the liquid contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, urea and electrolytes, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus. In the late stages of gestation much of the amniotic fluid consists of fetal urine.

The amniotic fluid increases in volume as the fetus grows. The amount of amniotic fluid is greatest at about 34 weeks after conception or 34 weeks ga (gestational age). At 34 weeks ga, the amount of amniotic fluid is about 800 ml. This amount reduces to about 600 ml at 40 weeks ga when the baby is born.

Amniotic fluid is continually being swallowed and "inhaled" and replaced through being "exhaled", as well as being urinated by the baby. It is essential that the amniotic fluid be breathed into the lungs by the fetus in order for the lungs to develop normally. Swallowed amniotic fluid contributes to the formation of meconium.

Irritable Uterus during Pregnancy (IU)

Irritable Uterus, in and of itself, may not cause a woman to deliver a premature baby. We, however, believe that an irritable uterus can and often DOES, in some mysterious way, trigger a woman’s uterus to start preterm labor, which can cause preterm birth.

I'm home...

Dear Joy,

Alhamdulillah, aku dah ada kat rumah hari nih..have been discharge yesterday...

but still i have to take care of myself extra carefull...coz the bleeding is still there...pelik but have to accept it positively...Mr Hubby said, this is our test...so, we have to be prepared mentally and pray for Allah guidance...

daa...Take care..

here are some information on low lying placenta...

" The upper part of the uterus is the most favorable area for placental implantation because it is rich in blood and, therefore, nutrients and oxygen.

The lower uterine segment is not and, therefore, it is possible that if the baby implants too low (low-lying placenta), risks of intrauterine growth restriction and preterm labor are much higher.

If the diagnosis is made before the 28th week of pregnancy, chances are excellent that, as the uterus grows upward, the placenta will migrate (move up) with the uterus and no longer be low-lying.

If the diagnosis is made in the third trimester, this migration becomes less of a probability. Then what matters is "how low is low?"

During the last trimester, and especially in the last month, the lower uterine segment thins appreciably and pulls up a bit, which is what causes cervical effacement (thinning) and early dilatation.

If the placenta is impinging on the lower segment and is not up in the fundus where it is supposed to be, then part of the placenta may dislodge and hemorrhage may occur. This first episode of bleeding is not necessarily fatal to the baby or mother, but this then becomes a very high-risk pregnancy involving bedrest, no intercourse and no internal examinations. The prospect of a cesarean birth is quite high."

Backe dated Entry - 1st October 2009

Salam Joy,

I've been admitted to Melaka General Hospital again, and this time I really don't know how long I'll spend my time here as the Gynea said that I should rest physically and mentally. She suggested that I cannot coop with the pressure and stress I've been dealing with. As for me, I'm not stress or depress but a bit exhausted.

Yesterday, after having dinner with Mr Hubby, I play with Adam. Adam was laughing and I love when he is smilling and laughing. Suddenly, I felt something coming out, then I went to the toilet to check and do something...what was shocking me to death is there are blood clot and fresh blood...so many bad things appeares, Ya Allah I don't want to lose my baby...

Alhamdulillah, baby is gaining her weight healthyly. Only Ibu who still have low lying placenta and some erosion in the cervic area.

Ya Allah give me the best, give me the strength to deal with the test...i'll do anything, I'll try to stand the pain I've going through due to medicinal session, all for my little baby. I want to give as many chances as I can to my baby so that she will survive....Amiin..

Daa, Take care...

berehat di Malacca GH

Salam Joy,

as i mentioned in previous entry...i've been referred to Malacca GH for further check-up on continuous staining discharge...so, yesterday i had to spend a night at the hospital...berehat, goyang-goyang kaki. leaving my BOY and by beloved HUBBY [just for a while]...

and alhamdulillah everything turns ok...i have low placenta, with some sevical erosion...baby is ok and growing healthy...that's the best part...


precaucionary step: we have to wear mask, sbb H1N1 sangat dasyat di melaka...
always wash our hands after what ever activity conducted...


and now i'm back....dapat MC for tomorrow, will go back to school on Monday...but yeah...the TRIAL paper is waiting for me....

Enjoy yourself Ila...

Mood Tak Baik...

Salam Joy..

bertepatan dengan tajuk entry ni, mood saya mmg sangat tidak keruan sekarang....smalam dan hari ini...this is due to my appointment with KIA Jasin smalam...so, as the result satu malam angin aku mmg x betul hehhehe...dengan Adam pun aku leh nangis, apalah ibu nih...[xyah ceritalah sebb apa yang Adam buat aku nagis tu..MALU..]

so, it's almost a month i had the spot of staining due to PV bleeding [according to the DR].  so, I've been urge to see the gynea at Hospital Besar Melaka, urgent! petang smalam jugak...tapi si degil Ila nih nampaknye x sanggup nak berbuka dia hospital dan mendedahkan diri pada virus H1N1 yang berlambak kat spital tu...therefore, we decided to go there today...

that is 1.  

kenapa aku rasa HUBBY seems dont care jer about myself??I'm carrying his babies....poor baby, slalu kene dgr ibu sedih sorang2...sedih jer tgk other couple go for antenatal check-up together...but me, always by myself...but thats is acceptional, my hubby is always busy with his work...but today, I have to go to gynea alone...dia nak hantar and fatch aku jer...sedih sangat2...tgh2 makan sahur tadi puas cover so that i won't cry in front of him...sometimes i think, it is better if i doesn't have the driving licence...nnt biar dia susah kene hantar aku...
mmmmmmmmmmmmm......

sabar ila, sabar.....syukur banyak2....
there must be a reason Allah test you....so that you know how to control your patience...

daa..take care JOY...

risau nyeeeerrr...

salam Joy...

today, sangatlah merisaukan...sebab aper??? smalam before isyak prayer [yang agak lambat, lepas layan Freaky Friday] found out that the discharge ada blood stain...alamak risaunyer...what will happen to my baby...

"baby, please be strong...."

then pagi tadi, terus g klinik and the dr said my baby is fine...and the size increasing healthy...but my plasenta...klu cakap kampung nyer uri turun ke bawah causing the blood stain in the discharge...and dr said if the scenario still continue..seems like ibu have to be warded...

alamak...tak nak lah warded, coz my pregnancy baru jer cecah 4 months..perut pun tak boyot sangat lagi...klu duk hospital mesti tidur baring atas katil jer...

so, starts from now ila...no more renyah2...tak leh angkat barang berat2...paling penting JANGAN dukung Adam...poor my baby boy...ibu peluk time tidur jer lah yer buchuk...

till then, will up date more about this later...


Baby on 1st Aug 2009 [17th week]

pray for me JOY...
