Muhammad Shafique Iqbal ~ 5 days to your Birthday

5 more days my hero will become two. He is a big boy now. Can see from his appearance & perangai dia. Eventho, the body still kecik (genetik papa). But I know he had enough nutritions needed. Because he had been consuming my expensive "breastmilk" for 21 months. Had to stop because I got pregnant again.

This entry will recall what happened last 2 years..... The birth of my great hero.....Muhammad Shafique Iqbal Bin Samsul Bari.

Actually, dalam kehidupan ini ada tiga benda yang akan membahagia kan seseorang dan melengkap kan hidup seorang insan. Firstly, dapat envelop besar yang tertulis urusan seri paduka baginda dan kita berjaya jejak kan kaki ke universiti sebagai mahasiswa/wi.

Secondly, bila hati berbunga riang beburung berkicauan, awan berarak tenang, jantung berdebar kencang. Itu lah saat dimana perasaan kuch kuch hota hai muncul dalam hati ini. Pendek kata jatuh cinta ngan pria terhebat. Bukan tu ja, si pria pulak mengambil langkah meminang dan mengahwini kita. Hari bersejarah tu dapat la kita bersanding di pelamin. Dapat la gelaran isteri orang. (whats the long intro kan!!). Anyway nak tulis jugak.

Finally, kejayaan dalam hidup ini adalah dengan kehadiran orang ketiga, bukan yang porak peranda kan rumahtangga kita tapi si permata hati. Saat ini panggilan manja ‘yang’ dah susah nak dengar and digantikan dengan panggilan keramat ‘mama’. Jiwa dan naluri keibuan kini menjelma. And I got this real feeling on 24th February 2006 (Before tu pun dah ada since pregnant).

Setelah mengandung 9 bulan akhirnya pada last regular check-up ngan Dato’ Dr. Ashar, Week 39 to be exact, I have been admitted at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. coz my pregnancy got problem. Very low water bed, small baby and less movement from baby. Supposed my expecting date lg one more week. So, kena induced nak cepat kan delivery. Been admitted on 22nd Feb at 10.00pm. So, got enough time to prepare the stuff needed in the ward later. First induced at 5.00am. Contractions still moderate. After 12 hours second induced plak diarong buat. Sakit and peritnya induce tuhan saja yang tahu. Mlm 23rd contraction still lagi moderate, dilate baru 2cm. Memang dah tak tahan dah dekat 20 hours belum dapat heavy contraction. Nurses advised to take the epidural. I'll think about that and will decide later. Mak ngan abah kat kampung dah sampai. Risau dorang because this is my first experience kan. Air akar fatimah dah berbekas mama consume. Then finally I request for pain killer.

At 12.30 am mama ditolak masuk ke labour room ditemani papa tercinta. Procedur epidural pun dilakukan. Papa said seram dia tengok jarum epidural tu dlm 5cm panjang diinject masuk ke tulang belakang mama, while mama have to bend my body statically. Lepas je dapat epidural me feel selesa sikit. So me and hubby dapat tido dari pukul 2.30am ke 6.00am. Subuh hari Jumaat 24hb, nurse kejutkan mama to check bukaan. And dilate baru 6cm. Sempat mama dengar azan subuh pagi Jumaat yg syahdu ni from the nearest masjid. Nurse tu cakap nak pecah kan air ketuban sbb dah lama sgt. At the moment mama don't even bother what the nurse want to do to me and I am keep on praying my baby will delivery safely. Tup tup Nurse tu inform that my baby dah berak kat dlm tu. She called my gynea to report about that, she told me normally if baby dah berak, I have to go for ceaserian. Which is no no for me at that time. Alhamdulillah the gynea answered really make me feel happy and lega sesangat. Doc said just wait because my baby small and this is my first time experience. He try to avoid operation. Of course mama will go for normal delivery. Every one hour, the dilate increase for 1cm. And every minutes contraction makin kerap. Thanks God mama read a lot about pregnancy and delivery, so mama dapat bernafas dengan baik at that time to cool down myself and kurangkan sakit. Nurse pun puji mama. Ahaks.

Lambat betul masa yang berlalu, every hour gak nurse check the dilate. Masa 8cm mama feel contraction makin kuat dan me feel dah tak tahan. Nurse tambahkan dose epidural. Rasa sakit dah sampai kemuncak, kepala baby dah nampak, nurse cpt-cpt panggil Dr. Ashar dan cepat pasangkan tempat kaki pada katil. Suasana kalut sangat waktu tu, sampaikan nurse tak sempat nak train me teran waktu tu. Hubby gak yang cool or terpaksa cool for me.

Saat kemuncak waktu nak teran, rasa macam kat padang tengok perlawanan bola sepak. Nurse-nurse tu macam pasukan sorak. Dengan 2 kali teran kepala baby dah nampak. Doc asked me to stop teran, dorang guna vakum skit nak mudah kan baby keluar. Cepat dan pantas semua ni berlaku. Ingat-ingat nya Doc angkat and show me my baby kat atas perut warna red purpleish. Lahirlah my hero Muhammad Shafique Iqbal at 1.19pm with the weight 2.69kg. Oh! can't imagine the moment. Happy, sad everything mixxed together. Semua kesakitan tadi hilang serta merta dan ditukar plak dengan kegembiraan. I am so proud of myself because me dah selamat dan berjaya dalam perjuangan melahirkan seorang lagi umat nabi Muhammad SAW and zuriat for my hubby. Nurse minta izin my hubby untuk potong kan tali pusat baby. Alhamdulillah semua selamat. But at that time tetiba the sickness datang balik may be because epidural dah getting less, so I need gas masa doc jahit luka tu. Mama sempat tersenyum pada papa dan si kecil sambil mendengar azan dan iqamat hubby ke telinga si kecil. Di hati ini tidak henti-henti melafazkan syukur alhamdulillah kepada yang Esa. Kesian mak dan abah kat luar lobour room waiting for us dengan penuh gelisah.

Then they took my baby for cleaning and further health check up. Papa plak went to the ward room to inform the good news to both mak & abah. The nurse still clean up myself tekan my perut and buang kan darah2 beku before sent me back to the room. I just can give a very nice and big smile to my mom and would like to cry and mention to her that I really appreciate her pengorbanan melahirkan anak2nya. And now I know the feeling jadi mak. Both mak & abah so happy dapat menatap wajah sempurna cucu lelaki pertama mereka. Thank you to all the nurses who helping me through out the unbelievable moment and also to my gynea Dato' Dr Ashar for your great job (Sorry because you have to skip solat Jumaat today).

A few hours after Iqbal welcome to our life and buruknya mama this time masih sembabkan.

For Iqbal mama always pray that you will become anak yang soleh, leader to your other sibling and other people as well. Jadi la anak yang membangga dan menggembirakan mama dan papa. Amin. Love from mama.
