Of pregnancy complications-part 1

Assalamualaikum

huu malasnya nak update!Hari ni agak busy,have an appointment with my Frauenarztin,kene masak utk guest2 dari malaysia then pack utk hospital esok ada appointment dgn specialist to drain some more fluid,my last reading wasnot good(ini cerita next entry)

Actually malas nak cerita byk pasal complications,tapi pikir balik tape la kot boleh share.
Every pregnancy is different.I bet mommies yg ada 6-7-8 anak pon akan ckp the same thing.With Muhriz,everything was smooth sailing until week 30,before balik Malaysia,gynae kat Augsburg tue ckp i might not be able to deliver Muhriz through vaginal sebab my pelvis is small,tak muat kepala Muhriz.But i may want to seek for another advice di Malaysia.Sampai Malaysia,pegi bukak buku pink(yer at 31weeks baru nak bukak),jumpa dr and she said the same thing.Pegi checkup di An nisa(where i delivered Muhriz) pon ckp the same thing.So redha je since itu yg paling selamat.Semua ckp sama,i could try with vaginal delivery but most likely I would end up with emergency caeserian,double sakit woo tamau mak.So Muhriz was safely delivered at 36weeks via c-sect,weighing 3.1kg huhu mana la nak muat.So itu kisah si abg long.

Adik pulak.awal2 dah ada bleeding.Sebab mama on contraceptive pills for 2 years,stop 1 bulan terus dpt adik,my period was still irregular.Kalau after 3-4 cycles baru boleh ckp regular cycle.So pening habis doctor nak decide GA and EDD adik.Before we left for Hannover in December hari tue,pegi last checkup,dr ckp die nampak my placenta was low lying.Since masa tue baru 17weeks,die ckp not to worry,ada chance placenta naik atas balik.Kat Hannover ni,week 25 baru boleh pegi checkup sebab tunggu insurance card ready.Nampaknya the placenta was still down there,dah completely covers the cervic mouth.Sini procedurenya kalau takda apa2 complication kita pegi checkup di Frauenklinik(Klinik sakit puan),mmg jumpa dr semua tapi they will just do the normal check.In my case sebab dah 3rd trimester,kene refer to specialist terus.So off we went to Medical Hochschule Hannover(MHH) sebab dah di diagnosed with complete placenta previa.

1st checkup,dr examined every single thing,blood yg flow in and out of the baby,how's his breathing etc(tak pernah scan se detail tu dgn muhriz dulu) and found out I have 3 uncommon things 1)Placenta Previa stage 4 2)Polyhydramnios-too much amniotic fluid 3)Single Umbirical Artery. No 3 might effect adik baby but she can't determine until adik is out,so I won't be writing about it. Because of these 3,I have to see the doctor on weekly basis dari minggu 25 lagi lah.Placenta previa in early pregnancy is not considered a problem tapi if it still covering the cervix close to EDD,maybe boleh buat heavy bleeding and prem delivery.

I read on net,some mommies with this are put on bed rest for more than a month!And hubby's aunty pon macam nie jugak,she started to bleed before week 30,by week 32 dah kene c-sect.Alhamdulillah her baby was fine.Saya pula Alhamdulillah tak pernah bleed lagi,maybe sebab saya ni surirumah,so kalau penat saya rehat.takde pressure or kerja berat besides kene jadi muhriz's elephant or horsey huhu.So masa checkup week 28 kot,my gynae was away,so her boss took over.Upon seeing my diagnose,die terus admit saya for 3days 2 night!Reason die,my water was too much and started to put pressure on the placenta,so saya boleh deliver anytime.Thus it's best for me to stay as close as possible to the labor room senang depa nak operate.Huhu mama jadi macam mad woman ok,sebabnya 1)during the previous checkup my gynae ckp my condition was stable,the distance between placenta and cervix was long 2)Amniotic fluid mmg build up tapi she preferred to wait 3)I have never ever left Muhriz before.Paling lama dalam pantang for 3 hours sebab nak check c-sect stitches.Lepas tue tak pernah,setakat pi beli santan or nasi lemak depan rumah for 15mins ada lah. Nangis berjam2 sampai midviwes datang pujuk2,last2 the prof dr tue pon dtg sekali pujuk huhhh.So tido lah kat hospital for 3 days,kene injected some drugs(lupa nama) utk maturekan baby's lung in case kene deliver awal dan buat CTG  a few round.Yg injection tue serious sakit rasa nak sepak nurse tue huhu.On the 3rd day,my gynae was back and she was surprised that her boss made me stay in ward for days without even consulting her.So my gynae checked my water pool,the biggest one was deeper than the normal range but she preferred to wait kalau dekat2 12cm baru buat drainage(took some fluid out).So she let me go home,probably tgk muka I sedih nak balik sgt kot and asked me to come back the following week utk buat drainage kalau pool dah reach 12cm(which it did).Itu next entry lah

 nangis nak balik huhu sib baik dpt single room

So,placenta previa nie,kalau dah stage 4,the only possible way to deliver the baby is via c-sect.The placenta completely covers the cervix opening and it is not possible to deliver the placenta first.I am grateful that today Caeserian can be performed safely kalau dah lama boleh buat c-sect nie babies yg tak survived at birth in the past dah boleh safely delivered.So mommies yg boleh beranak normal,jgn senang2 ckp "senang-senang je nak mintak c-sect" ingat orang operate saje2 ke pastu ingat tak sakit ke kene operate huhu.
Kalau rajin sambung part 2 hehe nak gi checkup dan bawak abg muhriz main,babaii!

One of his dream cars

Hubby bought this car few months ago tapi baru semlm selesai register with local JPJ office hahaha i forgot lah in German JPJ ni panggil apa.We've been considering a few registration numbers;anniversary date lah,date couple,birthday hubby,birthday saya,birthday anak huhu.The best part is,kene bayar Euro10 je utk number tue.Tapi hari jumaat lepas,hubby pulang kerja dan ckp dah reserve H WS 237.H kat dpn tak boleh buat apa,itu for Hannover(kat sini mmg first letter utk which city),WS is my initial hihi and 23 of July is my birthdate!Hui hui kembang semangkuk mak =p So now he's driving (one of,guys kan byk kete idaman) his dream car with my name on it hahaha sementara dok kat sini pakai this plate nie mmg senyum kambing la mama.balik msia nanti tak tau lah plate number macamana but we both agree kalau sampai bayar riban2 utk plate number tue baik tak payah.

nota kaki: ini bukan iklan MLM  huhu kalau MLM mau daku posing depan kereta dah (tiba tiba) jgn marah!

Smoked salmon pasta

Hubby usually arrives home from his office around 630pm.Paling lambat pukul 7.Sampai rumah die akan terus layan anak dulu yg sibuk nak tunjuk segala trucks and cars while I heat up our dinner.Selalunya on weekdays by 730pm  dah siap makan.Kalau weekend mmg terlajak.Makan awal sebab by 10pm mmg dah tido.So nak berborak masa dinner lah sokmo pon,nasib tak pernah tercekik huhu.So yesterday he told me that there's a newly married guy joined his geng tupperware.Bukan jual tupperware,tapi geng bawak bekal lunch ke office.Alhamdulillah so far kat sini saya baru sekali tak sediakan bekal lunch hubby.Tiap tiap hari bgn lagi awal dari hubby to cook his lunch and breakfast except on Friday.Friday die lunch di kedai dkt2 masjid sambil keluar solat jumaat.Hari lain kalau tak ada bekal kene puasa lah die sebab there's no halal food di cafe.Yg boleh dimakan according to him is fries je kot huhu.Ok so back to this guy yg baru 2 weeks kawen,bila die bukak lunch box die,yg lain semua amazed sebab adalah complete set from appetizer(salad) to main meal to dessert wahahaha,laki ku sokmo bawak seketul je.So one of his friends said "Wait until your marriage turns few months" dan hubby saya jawab "See what is left after 8 years and few kids" hoihh nak kene sekeh nie.Of course hubby said he was joking and doesnot mean it.He's thankful enough I bgn pagi2 masak bekal,kalau dulu ada je hari die nak pergi kerja pon I still tido,nak kiss pon pikir 2 kali sebab bini tak gosok gigi lagi kahkah.So I asked him this morning if he wanted some fruits too as bekal kui kui,he said don't bother about it,he was just joking.All he needs is something simple not too heavy and cooked with love hakhak.I buh jugak garlic baguette nie to go along with smoked salmon spaghetti,easy one to make!

-puree some fresh basil and olive oil,put aside.
-heat up some garlics in olive oil.Masuk cherry tomatoes,paprika sikit,salt and pepper.
-Masuk spaghetti(boiled it first of course),smoked salmon,sundried tomatoes and capers.Capers go so well with smoked salmon,try it!Then letak basil puree tadi. Sonang kan kan

German Autobahn and Celle

We are getting more sun these days,Alhamdulillah.Temperature pon dah naik around 5-10C.Anak mama mmg pantang panas sikit tutup mate huhu kesian dah 4months dok dlm gloomy weather ye sayang.Ada org dah gatal kaki tangan nak drive jauh.For weeks asik drive dlm bandar,to work(15mins from home) or bawa wife gi checkup(slow moving traffic sebab kene lalu city center).So he suggested Celle,a medieval city not far from Hannover,about 40km,so that takes roughly half an hour.He was told that the city is something like Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bayern.We went to Rothenburg once before and love it,so i said ok why not jom je lah lagipon the weather was nice,anak baru mkn dan mandi dan tak jauh pon.bapaknya suka hati la boleh speed up.In case you donot know,German Autobahn(motorway) has no speed limit.Bukan semua parts la,ada area yg ada limit but generally there's no limit(and of course takde toll) so tau lah how everyone drives,i kat belakang pejam mata buat buat tido.

So how's Celle?Ok la tapi we both agreed Rothenburg lagi cantekk huhuhu mmg Bayern di hati kami =p

Easter weekend

So what we did on the 4+1 days break?Exactly nothing.Just bermalas malasan di rumah.Initial plan was to drive to Amsterdam,tapi doctor ckp to stay close to Hannover huhu so cancel lah.Nasib takde book apa2 lagi.One thing yg tak best kat sini,kalau public holiday and sundays,all shops are closed.Except some restaurants.Kalau kat Malaysia confirm habis shopping malls dah ajak babah pegi.We had a sunny Monday,temperature hit 5C,so semua keluar rumah,going for a walk or spazieren gehen as the Germans say.
And after almost 4 months,Muhriz finally had some fun time at the playground.Siap jatuh tergolek.Of course hubby yg handle die,kalau dulu dgn mama sekali turun slide nie,takot anak jatuh punya pasal.Hubby said there are times I need to let him do things on his own,biar die independant.He's a boy after all and boy kene macho macho sikit,iyo lahh.Even Muhriz bawak ketiak mama 24hours,it's so hard to believe my baby ni dah grow up!

Natural Birth Is not for ME

Every woman has different idea and thought on childbirth method.Some are fans of drug free method and feel less accomplished if they end up with Cesarean.Me?My goal in labor is a healthy baby and me.I'd go for which ever method that is safest for us.Whoever tells you labor is pain free is clearly out of his or her mind.Labor process can be unpredictable and you can't possibly do everything you've planned before.So for me,it is best to keep your mind open and be ready for everything.Is you need an episiotomy or an emergency c-sect,just go with it if it helps to deliver the baby safely.

Natural birth is not for everyone.My 2nd pregnancy ni is considered a high risk.I donot talk much about it in this blog but the only possible way to get adik baby out is through Cesarean.I've been put on bed rest and some other procedures just to keep this pregnancy as long as possible.So natural deliver is the last thing on my mind.It's not even possible to deliver through vaginal let alone to go it free of drug.Sekarang pon dah kene cucuk macam2.So I try to avoid reading blogs or article yg promote natural birth gila2 to the point buat yg tak boleh nie rasa guilty,which I donot pon.No point to feel guilty tapi still malas nak bace ke obsession mereka.

Oklah babai blog.Baby N/M,here is me and you @28weeks.Sekarang dah 31weeks tapi sekarang perut mama kecik sikit.Last friday we've agreed to reduce the fluid around you so that there's more room for you to grow and less risky for mama to carry you around.If you can help to push your kawan baik atas sikit,that will be better sayang hehe.tu kepala abg muhriz sibuk nak join hehe.
