Week 24 - Check Up & U/Sound

Yep, masa check up tiba lagi.... Malam tu dah tak bleh tido, banyak sangat yang dipikirkan... Berdebar-debar nak tunggu masa ultrasound besoknya sampai tak boleh nak lelapkan mata.

So pagi tu, sibuk mencari baju yang sesuai.. last2 pakai T-Shirt MOM kaler biru jek, kununnya nak bg berat consistent dengan pakai baju yg sama masa mula2 timbang berat dulu.
Sampai kat Antenatal Klinik, amik number (Butang B - pemeriksaan susulan) and tunggu di Ruangan Menunggu A. Masa tengah tunggu tu, ada sorang perempuan India ni namanya dipanggil. Alamak!!! T-Shirt SAMA la! Hubby dah gelak2. Dia baru buat New Booking (macam saya kena bulan lepas lah). Trus amik fail cover baju.. cemana leh tersama ni? Hahahaha....

No. 1031 - Kaunter 2. Saya pun pegi Kaunter 2 serahkan kad biru saya. Bayar RM26. Dapat number 3112 dan diarahkan ke Ruangan Menunggu B untuk buat rutine check - Ujian Air Kencing, berat, dan tekanan darah. Saya pun ke Kaunter Jururawat di Ruangan Menunggu B, masukkan kad biru saya. Nama dipanggil untuk Ujian Air Kencing, alamak.. hari ni saya tak sediakan Fresh Sample lagi, so cepat2 saya capai botol dalam beg, gi toilet. Dah expert dah skang, tak terbangak2 cam memula datang dulu. Lepas tu timbang berat, then amik tekanan darah.

Week 24 progress:
1) Urine : normal
2) Weight: 55.5 kg (last time 52.2 kg)
3) B/P : 118 / 72 (last time 127/68)

Kemudian saya diarahkan naik ke Tingkat 3 untuk Ultrasound. Hubby pun nak ikut jugak, walaupun dia tahu dia akan terlambat masuk opis kalau tunggu saya u/sound nih. Tapi dia nak tengok jugak baby.. so saya biar je la dia ikut. Sebelum ultrasound tu saya dah sediakan soklan-soklan yang berkaitan.

1) Baby condition?
2) Baby gender?
3) Placenta location?

Masa tengah ultrasound tu, baby tak pulak busy kicking, nampak dia menguap je, pastu diam jek. Tido agaknya.. sebelum masuk bilik ultrasound tu bukan main busy dia kicking.

Nama sonographer tu Cik Nur Halimanja Sabdin. Lemah lembut orangnya. Tekun menerangkan parts2 baby yang dia tengah belek kepada saya, rajin menjawab soklan-soklan saya. Saya pun mintak la dia printkan satu gambar.. menurut dia gambar di atas ialah gambar muka (kanan) and perot baby (kiri)... nampak ke mata, idong, mulut (dia senyum lagi tuh) ? Tak nampak? Kekekeke... saya pun teka je la.. janji ada gambar. Yang penting, placenta dah naik atas (alhamdulillah), baby sihat, ada 2 tangan, 2 kaki, lelangit yg lengkap (tak sumbing) dan jeng jeng jeng.. kaki dia rapat daaa... tak nampak dengan jelas boy or girl. Dari imej tu macam girl, Cik tu pun tak berani kompom. Hahaha... sabar la ye.. nanti kiter try check laki ke pompuan.
Lepas ultrasound, dah puas tatap baby, tunggu ultrasound report pulak. Rupa report tu camni la.



Dah abih ultrasound, hubby pun nak gi keje dah, saya tinggal nak jumpa doctor je. Saya submit report ultrasound tadi ke Kaunter Jururawat Bahagian Menunggu B, dan tunggu. Then no. 3112 - Bilik 12. Yes.. mesti Dr.Lee lagi. Dr.Lee bacakan result lab test check yang lepas, then report ultrasound tadi, then suh baring check perut. Dia sukat perut pakai measuring tape. Pastu dia bagi Time Slip, ngan prescription Acid Folic and Ferrous Fumarate. Dr.Lee kata next appointment, lagi 4 minggu.. dimana saya akan dipaksa minum air glucose dan sejam kemudian kena amik darah..

Results lab test bulan lepas:
1) Darah type B+
2) Hemoglobhin / sel darah merah mencukupi - 119
3) HIV test - semua ok, negative.



Ok, lepas tu buat next appointment kat Kaunter 3, 29 Jan 2009. Masa nak amik ubat kat farmasi, orangnya pegi rehat la pulak, tutup hingga 10.10am dia tulis. So, merayap la ke atas, Tingkat 1, wad bersalin. Saja perati macam mana situasi wad bersalin tu.. Ada tempat menunggu (untuk suami dan family), ada TV, magazine and ada satu pintu ala koboi yg tertulis "Visitor is not allowed" terpampang kat situ. Ada sorang nurse kluar pakai apron plastik putih (macam butcher kat market tu) , dia tanya: "Sapa tunggu Jothi? You? " Sorang lelaki India bangun, angguk angguk. "Ok, Jothi dah selamat bersalin, nanti you bleh masuk tengok baby ye". Oo.. macam tu rupanya... Then kuar sorang lagi nurse yang lain, pakai apron plastik jugak...
"Nurul Huda.. sapa tunggu Nurul Huda. Tolong amikkan ubat asma dia..." Camtu la situasi kat wad bersalin tuh.. tak ramai orang pun. Hehehe...

Ok, 10.10am.. saya amik ubat kat farmasi dan kluar mencari teksi untuk balik ke opis. Episode seterusnya akan bersambung pada bulan hadapan, Happy New Year !!!
Untuk check up kali ini saya kena kluarkan:

Bayaran:
1) Ultrasound : RM20
2) Kedatangan: RM6
3) Ubat : RM10
Total : RM 36

Week 24 - Olalala

How your baby's growing:

Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

How your life's changing:

In the past few weeks, the top of your uterus has risen above your belly button and is now about the size of a soccer ball.

Most women have a glucose screening test (also called a glucose challenge test or GCT) between now and 28 weeks. This test checks for gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related high-blood-sugar condition. Untreated diabetes increases your risk of having a difficult vaginal delivery or needing a cesarean section because it causes your baby to grow too large, especially in his upper body. It also raises your baby's odds for other complications like low blood sugar right after birth. A positive result on your GCT doesn't mean you have gestational diabetes, but it does mean that you'll need to take the glucose tolerance test (GTT) to find out for sure.

Week 23 - Puffy Feet + spotty hands and feet?

How your baby's growing:

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

How's Mom doing:

You may notice that your ankles and feet start to swell a bit in the coming weeks or months, especially at the end of the day or during the heat of summer. Sluggish circulation in your legs — coupled with changes in your blood chemistry that may cause some water retention — may result in swelling, also known as edema. Your body will get rid of the extra fluid after you have your baby, which is why you'll pee frequently and sweat a lot for a few days after delivery. In the meantime, lie on your left side or put your feet up when you can, stretch out your legs when you sit, and avoid sitting — or standing — in one place for long periods. Also, try to exercise regularly to increase circulation, and wear support stockings (put them on first thing in the morning) and roomy, comfortable shoes. You may be tempted to skimp on liquids to combat swelling, but you need to drink plenty of water because staying hydrated actually helps prevent fluid retention. While a certain amount of edema in your lower extremities is normal during pregnancy, excessive swelling may be a sign of a serious condition called preeclampsia. Be sure to call your midwife or doctor if you have severe or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles, more than slight swelling of your hands, swelling in your face, or puffiness around your eyes.

Tapi lepas demam ilang, tangan dan kaki saya ditumbuhi pulak dengan bintik-bintik merah di bawah kulit. Dah nampak mcm Cheetara dalam citer Thundercats. Agaknya pasal minum air kelapa hari-hari sejak demam (nak kluar kan haba dari badan), habis virus-virus semua kluar skali ikut liang kulit. Dan boleh dikatakan sekarang tangan dan kaki saya berwarna merah polka dots. Tak de demam, tak de gatal, yang ada cuma bengkak kat kaki je, akibat water retention. Biasa la tu...

week 23 - baru baik demam

Hari Sabtu lepas dinner speghetti, tetiba nampak merah-merah naik kat prot, kat area pusat sampai ke pinggang, gatal gak la sket. Tapi tak berani nak garu. Setahu saya, sebelum ni tak de alergic makan apa-apa... Hmm.. musykil.

Pagi soknya bangun tido, tengok ada lagi merah-merah kat prot, suhu badan pun dah naik. DEMAM ????!!! TIDAKK!!!!! Tak nak la demam.... Hubby pun cepat-cepat bawak gi klinik. Dapat ubat gatal, ubat tahan sakit yg paling koman, ngan panadol yg paling koman skali.. Takut ler nak mkn ubat2 nih, tapi suhu badan makin panas, terpaksa la telan jugak panadol yang doktor bagi tadi lepas mandi sejukkan badan. Baru panas kurang sket. Malam tu tido hubby kata saya meracau2, pasal badan panas balik. Dia sumbat lagi panadol, baru diam.. berpeluh, bleh lena. Sah le Isnin ni MC.

Isnin gi amik MC, doktor check lagi ruam kat perot tu. Demam still kuat, > 39 degree C. Lepas gi klinik, makan nasik pastu operasi menyejukkan badan. Balut satu badan dengan towel-towel basah, telan panadol dan tido. Rasa cam tido atas tilam air jek..
Tapi suhu turun untuk 3 jam jek.. petang tu dah panas balik. So, pesan kat hubby, bila dia balik keje nanti, belikan saya air kelapa.

Malam tu lepas makan nasik, lepas minum air kelapa.. operasi menyejukkan badan bermula lagi. Kali ni lebih extreme. Pasal hubby pakai air ais dari dalam fridge untuk rendam towel-towel tu. Lepas tu dia bilas towel-towel tu dalam air sejok setiap 10 minit. Terketar-ketar saya tido bawah kipas yang dipasang full, dengan towel-towel ais tu. Pukul 12 tgh malam pun hubby still setia membilas semua towel ais tu. Ntah brapa kali dah isi air ais, saya lost count.. saya tido je. 12.15am hubby check kata pinggang ke atas suhu badan still panas. Hubby tanya nak gi spital tak? Dia nak hantar gi emergency. Pastu biar doktor cucuk drip, masuk air. Tinggal kat ward 2-3 hari. HAH??? Tak nak. Apa option lain yang saya ada? Hubby suruh saya gi bathroom, dia siram kepala saya dengan air sejuk. Macam Mat Ganja ketagih dadah kena dimandikan pulak... memang sadis.. hubby kejam!!! Kekekeke...

Lepas dibasahkan kepala saya dengan kejamnya, hubby suh makan panadol tadi and tido dalam towel basah. Pagi soknya, saya terjaga pukul 7.15am.. badan tak panas dah.. tak de pulak terjaga2 kepanasan. Mungkin demamnya dah ilang. So, kena la memaksa diri pegi keje pagi Selasa ni...
