Position tido ketika hamil - Maternity Pillow / Snoogle Pillow

Ramai yang tanye, cammane ek position tido yang sesuai untuk wanita preggy. Okay, first and foremost, TOLONG AVOID tido terlentang (sleeping on your back).

 

Bile kita tido terlentang, ni yang menyebabkan backache, masalah pernafasan, tekanan darah rendah dll. Bila kita preggy, uterus dan baby kita yang membesar dan semakin berat akan menekan dan memberi pressure dan restrict perjalanan darah ke Vena Cava.

 

Position tido meniarap pun tak digalakkan gak. Ni for the obvious reasons lah. Sheena memang dari kecik tido meniarap, so mase first trimester dulu, macam dah terbiase. Tapi takyah risau, bile kite dah rase tak selesa tido meniarap or perut sakit bile tido meniarap, tukarlah position. Our body will let us know when the time is right to change. Secara automatic, we will change our positions.

 

So position ape yang paing sesuai actually? Haaa.. Paling sesuai is tido mengereng, or sleeping on your sides. Lebih baik on the left side, so peredaran darah and oxygen tak terbatas. Tapi jgn tido on one side sahaja, kerap2 lah tukar2 side.

 

To those yg mmg susah sgt nk tukar position dari back or stomach sleeping, try letak bantal banyak2 belakang badan or guna bantal peluk. If nk peluk encik hubby pun boleeeeh... Ape salahnya kan? *winks*

 

Sheena guna Snoogle Pillow (ade yang panggil Maternity Pillow, Nursing Pillow etc etc etc). Best woo! Leh peluk macam2 style - dari belakang ke dapan, macam peluk bantal peluk, leh buat macam cushion besar dll. Yang penting die sgt sgt sgt selesa and leh wat preggy ladies cam kite ni tido ngan sagt lah nyenyak.

First time Sheena tgk pillow ni mase Jennifer Lopez berlakon watak preggy lady dalam cite The Back Up Plan. Time tu dah cakap dah ngan Kiki "If saya preggy, saya nk carik gak banal camni eh sayang" Dapat gak! Lame gak menunggu.. Bertahun tu!

Alhamadulillah.. Rezeki Anak

Alhamdulillah... Syukur. Memang orang kate rezeki anak ni boleh datang when we least expect it. Tengah-tengah dok runsing mane nak cekau duit for barang2 baby and hospital bills nanti, ade pulak my cousin call, die kate nk bg barang2 baby lame die yg tak guna dah to me.

 

Pelik nyer, kitorg dah tak contact each other for almost 2 years! So teramatlah terkejut kan bile dapat call camtu! So kitorg pun jumpa lah smalam..

 

Serious, terkejut tgk rezeki anak. Baby cot dah takyah beli dah. Sarah (cousinku yg baik hati tu...) bagi baby cot Mothercare yg harga RM3ribu lebih tu. Siap ngan 100% latex matteress and complete cot bedding set. Baby cot ni sangat lah bagus coz leh jadi baby bed skali coz die teramatlah besar. tak silap panjang dalam 5 kaki. Nanti bile kitorg dah dismantle and amik cot tu (xleh nk muat dlm kelisa comei, so next trip br amik), i post gambar kay.

 

Lain2 barang yg dapat:

• Mothercare infant car seat
• Spectra 3 breast pump
• Baby bathing tub and toiletries set
• Baby cot mobile
• Baby playmat
• Baby monitor (tatau pakai tak, coz rumahku teramatlah kecik, leh dgr kot baby nangis)
• Baby bottle warmer for home and car
• Clothes from 0 months to 12 months! (i have Ralph Lauren, Oshkosh, MUFC baby, England Tots!)
• 4 baby blankets

Banyak tak hadiah baby dapat? Heheheeee.. Boleh lah saving sikit untuk beli stroller yang gempak sikit and save duit spital nanti. Anak ma.. mama and papa pun tak pakai baju Ralph Lauren, original plak tu semua. Mahai nak... Rezeki kamu lah ye. Mekacih Aunty Sarah and Abang Hareez!

Leg cramps / Simpul Biawak mase pregnant

Smalam bermula lah satu lagi episode dalam pregnancyku - Leg Cramps or dalam bahasa melayunya 'Simpul Biawak'.

Sakit hokay.. Dahlah terjage tengah2 malam pasal nk terkencing, baik nyer nk bgn tetiba sakit die datang! Ouch!!! Menjerit sekejap mntak tolong. Nasib baik Kiki ade sebelah je time tu, tp yg tak best nyer, die pun tatau nk buat ape. Heheheeee. So berusaha lah straight kan kaki sambil dia urut tapak kaki.

 

Okay, ape sebab 'leg cramps' ni mase pregnant? Mmg dari awal pregnant tu dah tau yg nanti akan sampai mase yg slalu kene cramp, so kite pun tak lah terkejut ke risau sgt. Bile try Google 'Leg Cramps during Pregnancy' banyak gak explanation dier. And kat forum2 mommies pun banyak explanation pasal ni.

 

Sebenarnya banyak kemungkinan atas berlakunya 'leg cramps' ni. Ia boleh bermula seawal 2nd trimester and will on and off sampai habis pregnancy.

 

• Apabila seorang wanita mengandung, ia mempunyai 40% - 50% lebih darah dalam badan dan artiries and veins buat double work untuk pump semua darah2 ni ke seluruh badan, and bila siang hari, arteries and veins dibetis acts as pumps to prevent darah2 jatuh disebabkan oleh gravity.
• Other reason is circulation darah akan tergendala bila kite duduk or baring. Ni kerana utrus yang kian membesar!

 

Nak buat ape bile terjadi?

 

• Try lunjurkan kaki pelan pelan.
• Wiggle or gerak2 kan buku lali or jari-jari kaki
• Try bangun and berjalan slow2. Insyallah sakit tu akan reda and hilang
• Buat stretching sikit try to bend sampai tangan cecah jari2 kaki (or sampai mane yg boleh lah...)

4 months check-up & Dr Ummul Wahiy UMRA Shah Alam

Finally the day to meet baby has arrived! Punye lah excited nk jumpa baby, bgn awal gegile so that tak payah nk lame sangat tunggu turn nanti. Dah siap2 then baru perasan jam baru kul 8. Pffft. Clinic opens at 10 lah sheena!

 

Hahahaa. So kitorg gi bekfast lah dulu. Sampai2, tgk tak ramai sgt org, pheww. So seperti biasa, register and wait. Lame gak tunggu, tgk org yg sampai kendian dah kluar dah pun. Ishk. Rupe2nye, my file kene amik ngan Dr. Ummul.

 

Tapi kan, memula, punyelah mengamuk yang Dr Ummul amik my file coz lame gile kene tunggu!! Serious berjam2 hokay!! Siiikit lagi dah nk mengamuk. Tapi kan, lepas jumpa Dr Ummul, seriously tak menyesal. Sanggup tunggu lagi and lagi and lagi. Siap mintak request lah, in the future nk Dr. Ummul je yg check and nk di je yg handle me n baby.

 

Unfortunately for me, she will not be around for two months. And she'll check me only when she's back. So for the next two months, i'll have to settle for other doctors.

 

Okay.. Why my sudden change of heart, u ask? Dr Ummul is very detailed in her explanation and very thorough in getting our histories, and describing what type of formula is good for babies with lactose intolerance, what is good to prevent my eczema from flaring etc etc etc. This is BY FAR the most satisfied i've been with a consultation. Just to help you recall, read here. Even hubs got very comfortable and started asking questions himself. This, my friend, is something out of the ordinary. Slalunya Kiki akan dok senyap je. Hehehee. best tgk dier pun actively participate.

 

From what i know from my cousin whose their next door neighbours, she and her hubs (Dr. Rafi) owns UMRA. Maybe babtu kot she's more detailed.

 

Anyways, rase sronok sangat dapat dengar heartbeat for the 1st time instead of just seeing the flutters on the screen. And........ the best surprise is when Dr. switched the screen and showed me the 3D screen.

 

Baby's first 3D reveal! taken on 09.02.13 

 

Awww... Rase macam nk nangis pun ade, tp nasib baik dapat lah control lagik kan. Alhamdulillah baby sihat. Doctor pun explain lah, bentuk kepala dier nampak sempurna, tulang blakang die cantik, nampak kaki and tangan die clearly. EDD tetap 20th July 2013.

 

"Doctor, can you tell the gender?"

 

Soklan cepu mas! Tapi kan.. Takleh nk nampak coz baby blakangkan mama die. Puas doctor tunggu and alihkan scanner probe tu, tapi baby still takmoh tgk depan. Yang best biler tgk baby gerak2 and then it did the unthinkable! Die korek buntot!! Laaa.. Anak mama ni tak senonoh lah.

 

So outcome, lom boleh reveal lagik gender baby. Kite tunggu next appointment plak. Insyallah next month baby tunjuk lah kan. :)

Still too early for baby shopping? Hmm...

Hmm. When do we start scouring the malls and the net for baby stuffs? What's the best date to start? Kalau ikut nasihat orang tua2, diorang kate tak elok start awal awal. Nak membeli tu kene tunggu dah 7 bulan ke-atas camtu.

 

Boleh ke nk tunggu ke 7 bulan baru nak membeli? Boleh.. Siape kate tak boleh, actually ikut kehendak kite jepun if kite nk beli awal ke lewat.

 

For me and kiki, kitorg mase 1st trimester aritu recce2 barang2 dulu. Compare2 harga and buat list ape bende yg patut beli, yg boleh beli if ade rezeki lebih sikit.. Ntahlah, rase2 nk start beli sikit2 coz takut bile dah tunggu akhir2 nanti, rase macam tak mampu pulak nak kluarkan lump sum. Tu pun belum masuk lagik duit hospital nanti kan...

 

Ade gak yang tegur, nape beli skarang, tak elok.. So kitorg pun bglah penjelasan seperti kat atas tu. Diorng kate takut ape2 jadi kat kandungan. Hmm.. ntahlah, pada aku kan, if nk jadi ape2 dah 8 bulan pun boleh gugur, baby dah lahir pun boleh pergi.. Ni kan semua kehendak and ketentuanNya. Kite perlu berdoa dan redha.

 

So korang dah start membeli ke?

Tak sabar nk jumpa anak mama :)

Salam all, harini rase mcm jam berjalan dengan lembab yang teramat! rase2 macam dah pukul 5 ptg dah, tapi... baru kul 12.30. hahhaaa. Sengal. Ni gara2 tak sabar nk harini berlalu dengan sepantas kilat coz esok ade appointment ngan anakku :) Yeay!

 

Alhamdulillah harini cuaca sgt sgt sgt sejuk.. Hujan lebat start kul 6.30 pg smp lah skarang masih renyai2 lagik. Jumaat yang diberkatiNya. Syukran. Tapi mate dah macam ade gam dah ni.

 

Just nk btau, skarang ni, aku dok lapar manjang. Harini no exception. Macam melampau2 plak lapar je. bgn pg tadi perut senak ala2 gastric and dah berkeroncong. Siap2 then Kiki ajak pi bekfast kat McD. Jomss! Sausage Egg McMuffin, hashbrown and iced milo! Yummy! Siap tapau pineapple pie lagi tuu... Sampai je ofc, okay lagik, kul 10 lebih camtu, perut dah start melaram lagik. Macam dh masuk angin; nasib baik ade pie.

 

Ni baru sat, perasaan yg same kembali.. Aduuuuh.. Sabar ye nak, nanti kite gi makan kay. Mama dah nak lunch dah ni. Brape minute je lagik. Oleh kerana nk avoid mual2, makan lah sekeping choc chip cookie (perhambat hamper CNY kat office). Hahahaaa..

 

Alamak, jauh pulak lari topic.. Okay back to topic. Serious tak sabar nk gi UMRA esok. Tapi dalam perasaan tak sabar tu, ade gak perasaan cuak, nervous dll. Yelah kite kan first time mommy, jadi takut lah IF ade berita yg tak diingini disampaikan esok pulak kan.. Tapi ape2 pun, insyallah, aku akan redha kerana ape pun yg terjadi, atas kehendak and ketentuanNya.

 

Satu lagi, sebenarnyer tak sabar gak nk tau gender baby. Tapi itu pun kalau nampak lah esok.. Tatau lagik, ade orang kate dah nampak mase 4 bulan, ade yg seawal 3 bulan dah nampak dah. Ade yg sampai 6 bulan baru nampak. So berserah... Tapi tetap excited!!

 

Doakan semoga semua okay dan baik2 saja ye :)

 

 

Lower Back Pain

My aching back is killing me! From what i read and learn based on others' experiences, back aches only appear later in pregnancy, maybe as we enter the 3rd trimester.

A little bit worrying here. Is it becuase of my sleeping habits? Sleeping on thin matteress instead of on the bed (i lurrve sleeping in the living room sprawled in front of the tv. heehehe).

Anyways, it seems that these past few days, the aches are more apparent and i've started to waddle like a duck instead of walk. Urgh! No, no, nooooo. Not now....! Its tooooo soooon......

16 weeks update

Hey hey hey. Alhamdulillah, i've reached the 16 weeks mark as of last Saturday. Morning sickness ain't that bad but still around and lasting throughout the day. Only i think im more atunned to my body.

My hormones is making me ride the emotional roller coster. I cry at the littlest of things and the tears can't seem to stop once it has started. Bleeurgh! Another emotion that im constantly feeling right now is worry. I worry if the baby's alright, is it growing as it should, does it have a strong heartbeat etc etc etc. I really am anticipating the next visi to le doctor on the 9th.

 

Until then, may Allah help me thru this phase..
