Alhamdulillah is the only word that came out from my mouth when the other one A in our family arrived. I was speechless and relieved once I've given birth to this cute little boy after battling in the labour room for almost 3 hours. Thank god for making everything such a wonderful and smooth journey for me from the first month of pregnancy until delivery. I am so excited to share my birth story (although I already shared everything on my instagram) but I'm still gonna share it here.
My husband and I name our first born Muhammad Aidan. I wanted to name him Anas Aidan at first but since I went back home from hospital everybody especially my Mom in Law started calling him Muhammad so Muhammad Aidan it is. I know you would probably be saying that I can just put Muhammad Anas Aidan then, but I've set the rule for the name that it would only have two words not more than that. So he was born on 3rd of July 2019 at 9.54 pm weighing 2.7kg. To be honest I'm still in denial that I'm already a momma now but every time I see him smiling at me now I feel like I'm the luckiest woman alive. Now there are three of us. Amir Ayuni and Aidan. I'm truly grateful for what I have now as nothing can replace the love and happiness given by Allah to us now.
Okay let's get started on the birth story. It all begins on the evening of 2nd of July where I had an appointment with my gynae (Prof Haizal) on that night. From the ultrasound and checkups everything was normal so we just have to wait for the baby to arrive. My due date was expected on 4th of July so I still have another two days but Prof said to me that if the date is overdue, I will have to be induced on 9th of July not later than that.
Later that evening, around 11pm I had a mild backpain which I think it's normal because my tummy was huge and I couldn't really sit properly then. I wasn't expecting anything that night but at 5.30 am the pain started to feel stronger just like the pain I had during my period every month. The pain came on and off until 6.30 am and I woke my husband up for he's working that Wednesday morning. Then while he's getting ready, I went to the toilet to pee and I notice some blood along with clear liquid on the toilet bowl. I checked and my insting says it's time for the baby to come out. Finally *phew*. It feels like we;ve been waiting forever for you baby.
I immediately told my husband and called my mom to let her know and get ready to come to me. Mak told me not to panic and not to go to the hospital right away as it's not gonna be so quick. I took a shower and had breakfast first. Then I walked around the house and texted my sister (my sister works at the medical center which I gave birth to my son) that I'm coming soon. Then we arrived at the hospital and they asked me to do the ctg scan right away and checked me for dilation. Apparently I'm at 2cm dilation and they admitted me into the ward right away. And the waiting game begins.
It took me almost 8 hours to dilate until 4cm. I was 4cm when they asked me to go into the labour room and Prof broke my water at around 7pm. The contraction started to feel very strong and at the maximum on 9.30pm. I asked the midwife if I can push the baby already because I felt very painfull and she check my dilation again. Unfortunately I can't push the baby out yet because there's 2cm more to wait. I already felt like crying and when it's 9.45 I said that I wanna push cause I can't stand the pain anymore and Prof came. He finally said that I can push and at 9.54pm the baby was out.
I think that this is the most challenging experience ever for me cause I never imagine I could do this. Now he's 2 months already and I'm facing the most difficult challenge ever in the world which is the motherhood challenge. May I survive all day until the day I die.
