I'm a mommy now!
Baby Bump Week 39!
Oh yeah... 10 months came and went just like that!
It was nice carrying Baby S for the past 10 months.
Motherhood does not starts when baby is born.
Motherhood starts when pregnancy starts.
It was a priceless experience for me.
Each time I saw baby via sonogram,
I felt so comforted and assured.
Each time, I felt baby's kicks,
I felt that we are communicating in our own way.
To see my tummy getting bigger and bigger every month was a
sign that im closer to having baby in my arms.
4th October 2015.
My water bag broke.
I was excited, anxious and clueless.
I woke hubby about an hour later.
Now, from one anxious person, it became two.
I tried to calm down and continue sleeping.
But, water bag kept leaking.
Told my parents about it.
And, they got super excited and wanted to send me to the hospital straight away.
I called my doula to inform her and we managed to stall time at home.
We did all we could to get the contractions started.
At 9pm, I "checked" into my room.
Contractions became stronger and regular.
I kept walking and did some comfort measures movements to ease the pain.
Although I was in pain, i told myself to be strong.
The pain continued from 10pm to about 7am.
And then, the contractions became worse.
I was so exhausted by then. I asked for pain relief.
And by 3pm, I was fully dilated.
I was getting excited! Baby is coming out soon.
But, baby S is a shy baby.
Took her 5 hours to be out.
And by 8.27pm, I was carrying her in my arms.
MasyaAllah, she is so pretty.
She .... is my daughter.
My one and only beloved daughter.
Amin Amin ya Rabbal Ya Amin.
I was wheeled back to
my room.
And, was welcomed
by my family members.
It was an
exhausting, yet memorable labour.
I salute all
mommies out there who have given birth.
Labour is no joke.
For someone like
me, with low pain threshold,
Im amazed I have
all the strength to go through this experience.
God has made it
easier for me.
God has given me
the strength to be strong.
Ya Allah, thank you
for everything.
For answering my
prayers.
Each time I think
of my labour, I will be emotionally overwhelmed.
I am also thankful
for the support given to me by my hubby, doula (Kak Fauziah)
and family members.
2 of my greatest love.
Hubby, thank you for your endless support, encouragement and
advice!
I wont be able to go through this pregnancy and labour without
you!
Baby S, mommy is not perfect.
Mommy is learning to be a good mommy to you.
Forgive mommy for my flaws.
Thank you for entering my life.
Let's begin this journey together and create wonderful
memories
together.
Bismillah.
