15. Most memorable event during the labor/birth :
I think being induced, the excruciating back pain during contraction, tahan tu perasaan mau terbiraaaak sudah sebab belum fully dilated tu normal la bagi semua ibu yang pernah mengalami  especially yg first pregnancy. But what happen after labor was the most traumatic experience for me 😢. Kamu rasa apa aaa?...jahitan terbuka? benang tertinggal? kapas tertinggal dalam?...noooo...JARUM tertinggal dalam jahitan 😱😱😱 Terus begegar tuttt bila ingat balik ni. Sudah la jahitan longgar because bengkak tu tuttt masa jahit, tetinggal lagi 1 batang jarum dalam jahitan. For 1 week I kept asking my husband, how come boleh tertinggal jarum? Sa inda dapat terima ni kesilapan begitu boleh berlaku. Terpaksa tahan nyilu kena jahit balik, sampai menangis-nangis ni 😢. First week after labor memang sangat-sangat stressful. Me and my baby masuk wad lagi for three days because baby jaundice, then after discharge saya pula kena jahit balik.

Second most memorable ialah induced part. Induced 4th july, app 7.00am. After a few hour, macm tiada juga ni contraction. Then tengahari, my hubby take me for a walk, naik turun tangga - to induce the contraction la konon...hmmm disappointed, no effect at all. Hubby said "probably this Dusun people aa too tough". That's why kunun lambat tu contraction datang. Don't know la. First induce macam tiada kesan, contraction ada juga tapi tiada rasa sakit ni..
Besoknya awal pagi (5.7.2017) induce lagi untuk kali kedua, nah this was the moment of truth (tapi ini pun lama juga tunggu baru ada contraction)...gila punya sakit, macam mau patah tu belakang. Hubby pun stress, sekejap berdiri sekejap duduk. Saya pun sometimes marah-marah dia bah bila tu cotraction datang, rasa geram ada, rasa mau tumbuk orang pun ada. Part tunggu fully dilated lagi bikin stress sebab mau tahan tu rasa mau berak kan. Apa pun thanks a lot sama staf-staf sana LR sebab bagi semangat sepanjang proses ni. Of course inda lupa my hubby 😘😘 I'm strong because you were there with me. After tahan-menahan, korek mengorek 😅 I delivered my beautiful baby at 11.15pm. Yay! 

16. Feeling being a new mother?
The moment they put the baby on me, I forgot all the pain that I have gone through for a while. So beautiful. The life that I carried for 9 months plus was infront of my eyes, in my arms. That is my greatest achievement - Giving birth to life. 

17. Mau mengandung lagi ka?
Of course. Trauma for a while saja bah. Next, baby boy.Amen.😀

Thats all saja la cerita beranak ni. Apa-apa pun, bagi saya tu sakit sementara saja bah. Yang penting ada orang-orang tersayang bagi semangat (penting masa berpantang) semua pun okay bah. Jadi jangan kamu telampau takut tu mau beranak.

Bah, Till then.
