betul ke sakit?
February 9, 2015So it was 10pm at home and I was doing some work on excel sheets. Dean was right in front of me doing the same. Except his Excel sheet had more columns and rows and looked really… really… boring.
I felt a tight pain in my uterus and thought OMG I’M GOING TO GIVE BIRTH NOW OK STAY COOL STAY COOL.
I ignored it for a while but the pain kept coming back. I never really felt contractions or had the whole water breaking drama since Daniel was induced with epidural, remember? (My delivery to Daniel was awesomeeee, guys!) So I thought this must be a contraction. I remember people telling me if the pain keeps coming back every few minutes, that’s a sign of labor.
5 minutes passed. Pain again. 5 minutes passed again. Pain again.
So OMG I’M GOING TO GIVE BIRTH NOW.
Dean and I rushed to the hospital and even in the car, I was making breathing exercises that seriously… if you saw me from the car window and didn’t see my tummy, you would think this woman has facial issues. It was painful!
As soon as we got to the labor ward and the nurse strapped on the CTG monitor device to check for contractions… the pain disappeared. Totally disappeared.
Krik.. krik.. krik…
Like uh hello, Baby M… a second ago we were about to give birth. Now IN FRONT OF ALL THE NURSES, you decide to change your mind and sleep?!! Kamonnnnn!
“Uh… Puan… Puan betul ke sakit ni? Takde apa-apa pun…”
“Ish, betul la!”
Gahh!! Sooooo embarrassing as Dean and I walked back to the car, dragging our arms and my protruding belly button home.
Still pregnant, guys.
Hahaha..boleh plak I ketawa baca cerita you ni..false alarm la tu..tak lama dah tu…
Hahaha.. Maybe Baby M just wanted to play a trick on you… Hope you get a perfect baby girl…
hehehehehe. Must be the Braxton Hicks. The early labour contractions can be non persistent at times. I think either tomorrow of the day after, the real labor might kick in. So nervous!! Anyway, I will pray that your labour will go smoothly, fast and as painless as possible. InsyaAllah.
3 things to look out for when ure in real labour (according to my gynae. Btw im expecting my 2nd one as well):
1) water breaking; or
2)bloody show; or
3) intense contractions. Follow the 511 rule. Contractions every 5 mins, lasting 1 minute for 1 hour.
All the best vivy! I pray that u will have a smooth and safe delivery!
bahahaha, ayat last so funny. Tak tahan gelak. All the best Vivy.
psstt, baby M don’t give your mommy so much pain, she cannot handle it very well ( if not many facial expression will be born after this 😉
Hahah soon insyallah V. All the best ya!
um i’ve never been pregnant before. so i wondered, why the first one you had it so organize but not this one. nape erk. ? why cant this one just go sooner and sit down on the wheel chair again and ols? we all pray for you and your baby M. 🙂 InsyaAllah… dilahirkan sebagai anak yang solehah… Amin…. be brave okay . Remember? just think, five minutes away to see her. (from the previous entry) teehee.
yeah just follow the 5-1-1 rule. insya allah you’ll be ok. sending you positive birthing vibes!
Hahaha baby M did a prank – and so good at it! 😉
hahaha im having the same false alarm too..it was last Monday… non stop hitting at an 5mins interval.. ingatkan nak bersalin sangat2 dah… skali doc buat VE, “jalan jauh lagi ni..takde papela” .. ok totally malu gile ok.. hehe and im having my 3rd tau with my other two normal deliverance n without any epidural ke ape.. malu btul la.. ahaha
Dun wori dear..im worst..during my 4th..yup FOURTH!!!i went to d hosp everyday for 7 days!!i tot im in labour..but too bad..false alarm hahaha..
i had a week of false contraction before hospitalized for overdue. my conclusion is bb girl like to stay in mommy’s womb longer..so comfy kot.
Still pregnant, guys.
Tak boleh tahan lah the last words.
Hahahahaha
Goodluck Vivy! Baby girl usually more drama.hehe. Semoga semua selamat dan dipermudahkan 🙂
V…normally kuar tanda like blood or white discharge…for me bila kuar tanda tu mayday maydayyyyyyyyy
Hahaha.. baby M kecut perut tengok nurses tu kot… 🙂
Had the same experience with my baby. Contractions.. nurses come, contractions go, nurses go away, contractions come. It’s like… ‘what is wrong baby?!’.. last2 kena induced and c-section because eventually he just liked giving his mommy the pain, but didn’t want to come out yet.
hahaha. Tergelak baca entry Vivy lagi2 conversation nurse dan vivy.. False alarm..
Baby M saja je tau. Sian mommy. All the best vivy. Have a smooth proses bersalin dan baby dan mommy is healthy.
Good luck, and keep updating the story of bersalin… Good luck again.
Kekeke… Sabar Vivy.. Soon, mother of two! Sepasang. Bestnya.
For the time being, just follow 511. And don’t take any air selusuh. Because some doc said not good, ramai c-zer because of this. I don’t know exactly whether it’s true.
2nd baby, I took Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil from Tanamera. Senang je bersalin. It’s still not too late to get one. Semoga semua dipermudahkan ya Vivy. =)
Salam…may you have a safe and smooth delivery, Vivy! Can’t wait to say hi to baby M! 🙂

InshaAllah semuanye di permudahkan urk u n baby M ok.
yeahhh u still pregnant obviously..
My baby was almost induced but she decided to save mommy from all the agony of induction of labour, conveniently, ONE day before I was scheduled for IOL (i’m a doctor and trust me, the sight of expectant moms rolling in pain after IOL left me mentally scarred). I walked around every single floor of Pavillion the night before and almost jumped with glee when I had some show that morning. I delayed going to the hospital because my hubs who is also a doctor did a VE that morning and told me “uhmmmm 1cm… KUT?”. Eventually, despite my argument on how i’m not in pain and there’s absolutely no contractions, i was forced by mom and hubs to go to the hospital. CTG showed that i actually had contractions and a VE by the nurse revealed that i was already at 3cm that afternoon. My obgyn was nice enough to let me rest in the ward. I had stronger contractions around Maghrib but I cld still walk around. Was hooked up with epidural 2 hrs later and had to wait another 7 hrs before my bub decided to pop out. I wld say it was an easy labour n easy delivery, Alhamdulillah.
Oh, my baby was 5 days post-date btw.
I don’t know why but I have this feeling that Vivy n Dean are gonna name their baby Melissa. Teehee..
would like to respond to Yana’s comment.
because every pregnancy is different 🙂 kadang anak 1st relax je tak ada apa2, tiba2 anak 2nd ibunya muntah2 and everything. so sometimes it’s different on each one.
Yes jangan ambil air selusuh. Sebabnya kita akan dapat strong contraction sedangkan cervix tak bukak besar pun lagi for delivery. Normally kalau ‘natural’ strong contraction, our cervix mesti dah bukak beberapa cm to prepare for delivery 🙂
omg vivy hahahahah this is really kinda joke of the day *laughing so hard* especially the last word, “still pregnant, guys” LOL
