37.5 weeks check up
Just got back from my wife 37th week check up.
Dr Raja gave my wife the admission form. So anytime now whenever our baby decides to make her grand entrance we can go straight to Emergency. This check up was really brief. Doc scanned my wife's tummy, reported that our baby’s weight now is 2.6 kg and baby already engaged. She said weight is OK tapi oklah as soon as minimum 2.5 kg time deliver nanti. My wife gained around 1 kg compared to last month.
Yg kelakarnya, prescription doctor for my wife this time;
1. Relax. Be prepared for any circumstances. Actually she said i can bring my DSLR into Labour room.. wahahaha.. to do some exercise with my wife, we went to OU to do more walking but my conclusion is more shopping and my wife pun senyum je in agreement. Hehe..
2. No more s*x. This one not my own punya conclusion, ok. Dr Raja actually advised it would not good during this period because of hygiene issue.. hehe.. (sepatutnya boleh je ;P)
Well, I’m not complaining!

Tanda - Tanda Bersalin
Sekarang anda sudah hamil dan anda mungkin sudah bersedia untuk mengadapi hari kelahiran bayi anda. Proses kelahiran boleh memberikan keriangan dan juga ketakutan bagi mereka yang hamil. Anda rasa tidak sabar untuk melihat bayi anda dan dalam masa yang sama merasa takut terhadap kesakitan dan komplikasi yang mungkin berlaku semasa proses bersalin.Ramai wanita merasa bimbang yang mungkin mereka tidak dapat mengenali tanda-tanda hendak bersalin sekiranya ia terjadi. Adalah penting untuk anda mempelajari tanda tanda awal bersalin supaya anda boleh membuat persediaan yang optimal untuk mengahdapi kelahiran.
BERSEDIA UNTUK KELAHIRAN
Sebelum kandungan anda semakin berusia, adalah cukup bagus untuk anda mengetahui peringkat-peringkat kelahiran. Sekiranya anda ingin melahirkan dihospital, cuba buat ‘tour’ disekitar bilik bersalin anda.
Ini adalah tip mudah untuk anda menyiapkan diri untuk kelahiran anda:
• menghadiri kelas antenatal
• Berbincang dengan kawan yang pernah melahirkan
• Tonton video kelahiran
• Amalkan pernafasan and relaksasi.
Tanda bersalin sebenar Vs Tanda bersalin tidak benar
Sekiranya anda merasa keliru yang mana satu tanda kelahiran benar atau tidak, anda bukannya berseorangan. Memang ramai yang tidak begitu pasti tentang tanda awal bersalin.
Ramai yang mengadu mengalami tanda seperti mahu bersalin tetapi tidak tahu samada masa sudah benar-benar tiba atau cuma mengalami masalah sakit perut biasa sahaja. Sekiranya merasa ragu, jumpa saja dengan doktor, tak perlu rasa malu sekiranya ia terbukti bukan masanya lagi. Yang penting, jangan tidak mengendahkan tanda-tanda tersebut.
KONTRAKSI RAHIM
Kontraksi adalah tanda awal dan isyarat yang paling penting yang menunjukkan anda sudah sampai masa untuk bersalin. sekiranya kontraksi sudah ada, cuba perhatikan masa, tempoh dan berapa minit jarak diantaranya. Kontraksi yang sebenar berlaku secara teratur dan pada jarak yang konsisten. sekiranya ia berlaku setiap 5 min secara teratur dan semakin kerap, pergilah berjumpa dengan doktor untuk mendapat kepastian.Kontraksi biasa atau Braxton Hicks contraction agak berbeza, ia kurang menyakitkan dan tidak teratur dan akan hilang dengan sendirinya tidak lama kemudiannya.
Sakit Belakang
Sakit belakang sering menjadi masalah utama wanita hamil, tetapi ia juga mungkin satu tanda kelahiran. Sakit ini akan semakin kerap dan kuat dan rasa lebih teruk pada bahagian bawah belakang.
Pecah ketuban
Dalam cerita drama atau filem,wanita selalunya sedar yang mereka bakal melahirkan apabila ketuban mereka pecah. Tapi ia bukan realiti sebenar. Kebanyakkan wanita langsung tidak mengalami pecah ketuban sehinggalah disaat-saat akhir proses bersalin. Yang kerapnya, doktor yang akan memecahkan ketuban anda untuk mempercepatkan proses bersalin.Pecah ketuban berlaku pada segelintir wanita hamil sahaja dan sekiranya anda mensyakki yang ketuban sudah pecah, jumpalah dengan doktor dengan segera.
Bloody Show
Disaat awal anda bakal melahirkan, selalunya terdapat lendir pekat bercampur darah keluar dari faraj. Ini adalah pluk mukus yang menghadang sebarang kemasukkan asing kedalam cerviks. Ia juga menghalang sebarang kuman dari merebak kepada bayi. sekarang pluk ini sudah tiada dan bayi sudah boleh bergerak kebawah dengan perlahan-lahan.
Serviks terbuka
Sebaik sahaja kontraksi berlaku, pangkal rahim anda akan menjadi lebih lembut dan lebih nipis. Walaubagaimanapun, cuma doktor sahaja yang boleh mengetahui perubahan ini semsa pemeriksaan faraj.

The Eight Month - 35 Weeks
Last Monday we went for my wife check up. This time there was such a loooong queue at the clinic sampaikan me yg sgt penyabar ni pun dah bangun gi tanya nurse what’s going on, why aren’t we seeing the doctor yet although our appointment was supposed to be at 10.30am.
Finally our turn came. As I walked in the door, Dr Raja terus ckp, ‘Eh, yg ni kecik sgt pulak perut dia. Tapi you dah dekat nak deliver dah ni kan….”. Then when she scans my wife belly, she told us our baby is healthy, baby’s head is positioned down where it’s supposed to be. So even though the baby’s size is a bit small, everything else is fine, so there’s no need to worry. Our baby now weighs 2.1 kg, so he gained about –o.1 kg compared to last month. Mummy gained around 2 kg compared to last month. We are very disappointed because we planned to see our baby face tapi tak dapat dapat since last detailed scan. Next time perhaps.. or our baby want to do a surprise to us!
I do a research and found something interesting. On episiotomy, the doctor said it’s often practiced for first babies. Second one, not so much. On epidural pulak, the doc said, it’s up to you but they advised mother-to-be to look at the situation. Kalau time admitted to the hospital tu already 5-6 cm dialated, tak perlulah. Kalau induced, or kalau labour pain starts early ( i.e. 1-2 cm dialated pun dah sakit, labour process would take looong hours) it’s best to take the epidural. Sbb if not then after 12 – 24 hours kita dah takde energy nak push. Tapi kalau yang tahan sakit, cepat dilate and labour process mcm short, tak perlulah amik epidural. On the side effects pulak, the doc said medically takde side effects yg teruk but some people have the opinion that it will cause back pain. But in my opinion back pain tu could be caused by other things like your posture, too much bending during confinement, etc. sbb org yg tak ambik epidural pun ada yg have back pain.
So kesimpulannya I think I will take the advise la. Tgk keadaan mcmana when my wife in labour nanti. I also try to search about sunatkan baby. The doc said lagi bagus buat time baby, senang nak jaga and baby will recover very quickly. But for me, if my baby is a baby boy I will let him bersunat time besar sikit…which I want him to fell a thrill.. hehehe..
After this my wife appointments at the hospital is every week. I love coming for check ups because I can see the baby active on the screen. You know the feeling when the holidays/vacation is approaching; you’re so excited that even when you’re at work you feel like your “soul” dah pegi to that vacation place? That’s how my wife feels right now with 5 weeks to go till her due date. Malas dah nak pi keje!
