Baby #4 : Hassan Abraham
Hi all.
Who knew this day would come? Haha. Me writing a post of the newest member of our family, our 4th baby boy. Hassan. Oh how, I missed blogging too. I would need a time like this, to be able to sit down peacefully & start writing. This is rare! I am not complaining, coz I think busy is good too. Also the fact that, I am ultimately grateful to be able to take care of my kids 24/7. Special Thanks to Amin :
Bie, thank you so much for working so hard to provide for us all. Semoga Allah berikan ganjaran, pahala, kesihatan yg baik for you. InsyaAllah.
So, here it goes.
We couldn't believe when we found that we were pregnant again. Just a couple weeks earlier, we went diving in Sipadan. Gosh, it was a not a smooth sailing one for me coz I got vertigo underwater on every dive. So that explains, I was pregnant.
Masa mengandungkan Hassan, I was not as strong as I used to be. Maybe the age factor. Haha. I easily get tired and wish to be in bed all the time. Alhamdulillah, all my boys were so understanding. I told them, "Sorry, boys. Mommy is not feeling too good. Please let me rest/sleep for a while & then I'll go cook/help with homework/send mengaji/etc". Then all of sudden, they would sit down and gave me massages or send me a glass of water. oh God, I'm so blessed for these boys in my life.
My due date was supposed to be on the 9 September 2017. I thot that's just perfect as my birthday is on the 6 June. So 9/9 = 6/6 :) We went to see Dr Siti at first, but was so heartbroken when the nurse informed that Dr Siti doesn't deliver anymore but she's ok seeing us until 24th week. So yeah, we did that and then change to seeing Dr Noor Aini. Who is also my SIL's gynae. We came to like her too. Everything was great, Hassan was growing so well, we knew it was a boy even before the 5th month detailed check up, definitely not so shy to show his 'thang' during ultrasound scan. Haha.
Then Dr Noor Aini gave us the news that she wont be around during my due date. She had planned to go for her annual hiking trips with friends-in one of the Himalayas trails! Yikes! But we wanted to deliver naturally, no plans of inducing so yeah we said nevermind. Please just refer us to another gynea. She was also expecting us to go earlier as it is my 4th child but that didn't happen! haha.
Amin pun canceled his NY trip coz doc was worried that I would deliver earlier. That didn't happen! (Sorry, Bie!)
I was nervous to go see this new gynae as I've never heard of her before. All I knew was she was new, 2 years in SJMC and previously in HKL. Her name is Dr Pauline. So, our appointment with her was so nice & simple. She was thorough when checking and it turned put that Hassan was already 3.4kgs. 1 week before due date. We were shocked coz Hassan was only 3kg the last time we checked, 1 week earlier. She advised that I get myself induced by Monday if there wasn't any natural signs, we told her that we wanted to have it naturally. She was worried if the baby goes beyond 3.5kgs if we were to wait any longer, even to our due date. Meanwhile, I went on doing alotta walk & housework to help or cepatkan la nak beranak tu.
Our appointment was on Saturday, 2/9/17.
*Ok, sambung tulis cerita as dah letak on hold for a long time. 12 January 2019.
Hari Raya Haji went by, punya lah kita dapat rasa that he will come out then. Haha. Also super hoping then sebab Dr NoorAini masih ada di KL. Seperti yg dijanjikan... Malam, 4th September 2017. If there's no signs I should just check myself in and get ready to be induced. We dropped Rayyan, Aydan & Jordy at my parents place. Antara sebab yang berat jugak was I sedih tak dpt be there for Jordy's orientation day & 1st day, where I would normally akan sibuk setiap kali for my other 2 boys. But hey, Jordy was in great hands. So I told myself to just focus on myself & Hassan.
We arrived at the hospital. Nurse told us to go get something to eat & come back by 10pm. Makan nasi ayam & went back upstairs to see whats next. Tukar into hospital gown, I was already 3cm diluted but if not mistaken my cervix was still not 'soft'. So it wont be anytime soon lah.
Nurse told me that there wasn't anything that they will do that night. I just rest and wait for what will Dr Pauline suggests. They kept telling me that the baby is big, by the look or when they manually measured my belly! I started to get more nervous with that , as I am already have so many thoughts like I wasn't familiar with the gynae. Overthing, I know! :P
Continuing this on Hassan's 2nd birthday.
I went out to get some walk... to help induce the labour. Though I wasn't experiencing any pain or even signs. I got tired (of not having any signs haha), I went back to our room to rest some more. Then the nurse came in to tell me that she would induce me then, but supposed to be a slow process which means... I will only be in labour in the morning. Texted my family to tell them that they baby will not be out anytime soon, so better that they go to bed.
So I changed, got ready. Did the 'empty-tummy' thingy and all of a sudden, I'd say 10minutes later.... I was already having contractions. It was ok at first but it got worse by the minute. Asked for the epidural straight away, coz hey honestly I was so scared of the pain. Haha. The doctor came & putting the epidural was not as easy as during Jordy's time. I was also already in pain. Palking teruk is the whole entire time, the epidural did not work. Which means, it was already too late.
My contractions was really high & the nurse suggested that I take the gas to help with the pain. I wanted to pass, it did nothing to me preciously too. But thank god, ntah la sebab dah jadi diver... the breathing was better that the gas actually helped! Hahaha phewwww...! Its all about the breathing baby!
Amin was there every step of the way.. My gynae came to see me, I told her I was so much pain. Epidural not working. I was already 7cm at 3am. The details are already blur to me now, Geezz, my fault for now writing sooner. Hehe.
All I remember, sangat sangat sakit, but the breathing technique which I just learnt then helped to manage my pain. Alhamdulillah. All of a sudden, at 4am they told me that the baby is ready to come out. Ooohhhh earlier when checking how much dilated I was... the nurse accidentally burst my waterbag! And that made it lagi la sakit. Uwa!
The nurses & the gynae was excellent. Coach Amin, takyah cakap la kan... haha. Not long after 3 pushes, Hassan made it out! Alhamdulillah. Syukur semuanya selamat & mudah.
He cried, and cried.. but all calm when I held him. Aww. He weight at 3.5kg, the heaviest among his sibliings. We name him Hassan Abraham. Hassan tu memang dah set even when at 6mth lagi, deciding earlier. This time Amin chose both 1st & last name. Mommy takde idea sgt dah.
Hassan = handsome' or 'good', or 'benefactor
Abraham= also known as the Prophet Ibrahim.
Hassan was expected to arrive during Hari Raya haji, so hence the name Abraham... plus we love the name too. We also thought of Adha but mehhh..
Semoga menjadi hamba Allah yang taat, beriman dan berguna sebaik namanya. InsyaAllah.
We love you Hassan! Thank you for choosing us to be your family. We are so blessed and grateful having you around. You're simply one of a kind .
Much Love,
Mommy

Jordy
Happy 2nd Birthday.
