muhammad imran nazhan

alhamdulillah..

My son, muhammad Imran Nazhan was born on Friday, 10th April 2009 at 1.00 pm. he's totally gorgeous!he's got loads of hair and he has my eyes =) His favourite hobbies are staring everybody in sight and smiling whenever he thinks nobody's watching.haha~!

On Friday, I felt the first contraction around 2 a.m. (while I was sleeping) =p it wasn't like what I expected because it was nothing like period cramps. But somehow, I got excited and I just knew that I was going to deliver my baby soon. the contraction got gradually stronger and I was quite calm when I woke Ashraf up around 5 a.m. He got panick attack and quickly called our moms while i went to take bath. there was a spot of blood-the first sign of labour!yeahooo~!i got more and more excited.

I made a quick breakfast-half-boiled eggs and bread while ashraf performed his Subuh prayer.he was soo nervous (compared to me =p) he literally wolfed down his breakfast. haha! =D we went to hospital putrajaya soon after we finished breakfast. i remember thinking how fast time flew by as i tried to calm myself along the way. by the time we arrived at the hospital, the contraction pain subsided (not sure when i lost it).

by 7.30 p.m, my cervix was 4 cm dilated. doctor (can't remember her name) broke my water and i was sent off to labour room. i still wasn't that nervous, it's just that i wasn't so sure how would i react when asked to open my legs to push my baby out. haha =) i waited in the labour room with ashraf. nothing happened apart from me getting more and more twitchy.

I was doing okay until around 10.30 a.m,the contractions started to come every 15 minutes. I was busy puffing on the gas and air when the mother-of-contractions hit me!adooiiiii...tuhan je yang tau how i felt. the pain was too strong-the midwife had to give me a pethidine to calm me down (i guess?) and ease the pain.

the pain kept coming thick and strong. i had this overwhelming urge to PUSH but the midwives asked me to WAIT! what??i thought i couldn't stand the pain anymore but ashraf was really patient and supportive (despite the struggle to hold me still =D haha) there were about 6 or 7 midwives and a doctor in the labour ward telling me how to push out the baby..i was soo confused!!

finally at 1 p.m, when i thought i couldn't push anymore, the doctor shouted 'baby dah keluar!!'. i burst in tears of joy =) they put my son onto my chest..i just stared at him and trying to remember every little detail..time seemed to stand still. i just dont care what happened around me at that time. my baby IMRAN, he looked so lovely and PINK that day..

..and that was the best feeling ever~!! =D
