The Story of Arsh

My 3rd baby finally popped out on December 4, 2009. Ya I know... cerita sudah basi. Arsh actually turned a month old yesterday. Yes.... it took me one whole month before finally able to sit in front of my laptop and jot something about Arsh. But I know, I will not be able to finish this post in one sitting.. Kejap lagi mesti baby nangis.


The night before he came was certainly a night to be remembered. I have always wanted a maternity portraiture by hubby dearie, but he kept postponing it due to time crunch and many othe reasons for example tak cukup equipment lah, kawan pinjam gadget lah, itulah inilah. I was kinda bengkek with hubby for keep postponing it. I said to him, kalau tak sempat amik gambar I pregnant, you have to make me pregnant again, I don't care.


So that night, 3rd December, he finally got the time and most importantly the equipments to do the shots, minus the tripod. So takde tripod, takdelah gambar photographernya. So he just took pictures of us 3 - me and my boys. That night I was like 39 weeks plus pregnant. The session went well. Hubby turned our dining area into a photography studio using white bedsheets, blankets. Below are some of the photos...





We wrapped up the session at around 10.30 pm. At 11pm, after I took my bath and was about to perform my Isha' prayer, suddenly I felt water trickling down. I was thinking.. arghh.. don't tell me I sudah ter'pee' on my sejadah. well.. you knowlah can, those who have experienced third trimester pregnancy would know, incontinence is a common problem. So I went to the bathroom and wanted to clean, when suddenly I felt ore water gushing out. At that time.. I started to suspect that my water bag sudah pecah. Two days before that, I had appointment with my gynae, Dr Siti and during the appointment I asked her how would you know if the water bagi burst. I remember she said, you will feel like macam belon yang ada air pecah.. the water will keep trickling down and you won't be able to stop it. Ahhh... this must be it, I thought. I went out from the bathroom to tell hubby about it. Hubby who was too tired from the session at that time dah tergolek tido on the floor depan TV, and I was like "yang..... waterbag dah pecah". Hubby from being semi-comatose condition terus terbangun. "Ha apa..... habis camna". At that time I got abit panicked coz more water gushing down. I asked hubby to get my clothes and that we need to rush to the hospital. I was scared to move because of the water that kept gushing down. Hubby pun panic, keluar masuk bilik.. I don't know how to describe it, tapi dia dah macam kartun dah. My Rizq dah start menangis dah "kenapa ibu? Cici takut... ibu kenapa?"....

Then I realized, kalau I panic semua orang panic. So I better control my emotion so that semua orang pun boleh calm down. So I get dressed, and continue what I wanted to do before the chaos, which was to perform my prayer. Actually at that tie, I was not sure.. boleh ke solat time air ketuban dah pecah. But at that time, all I wanted to do was to pray. After solat, I prayed to Allah to smoothen the whole process, to give me strength, to forgive all my sins and keep my family and loved ones safe including the baby. I felt better after the prayer.

I knew we had to get to the hospital as soon as possible because of me being a GBS carrier. Being GBS positive meant that my baby was in danger of ingesting the infection if the waterbag had burst in advance. I also read in the internet that a GBS carrier should have antibiotic via IV drip at least 4 hours before delivery to protect the baby from the infection. At that time I knew, it was crucial for me to be in the hospital as soon as possible..

(to be contd........ time to nurse my baby)
