I went for my antenatal TCA yesterday evening. Alhamdulillah, my baby is growing well, just that my weight reduced about 350g...haha. Dr. Hamidah, my obstetrician said my baby is not engaged yet, seems like she does not want to come into the world yet. However, that is normal in a gravida 2 para 1 like me, where the baby will only be engaged during labour. I thought I felt my baby has come down as I feel pressure at my pelvic bone and started to get leg swelling.
All things for my admission to hospital in case I go into labour are ready. 1 bag for my items, 1 bag for the newborn baby stuff and another 1 bag for my daughter's items. I felt relieved as our house finally looks and feel like a home now without boxes and things not sorted out yet...still got few boxes at the back room though which contained not so important stuff :) Also few things that I felt needed to be changed anew...don't know if they can be done before my delivery or not...hmm, what say you, mr. hubby?
My husband and I are in the process of looking for a maid to take care of this baby (plus my daughter and the household chores). I really feel I need a maid now because my husband frequently goes outstation. At least, I have someone with me that I can get help from in case anything happens. If anyone knows or would like to work with us, don't be shy to contact me. We prefer to get maid originated from Malaysia, but I know that would be quite impossible..huhu.
I hope my decision to deliver my child at Hospital Putrajaya under the Full Paying Patient scheme (like private wing) is the right choice. Quite a number of private medical centres and maternity centres we surveyed, but I just felt a bit unsafe to go to a private hospital. I have more trust in government hospital...because I know the management in private hospital is different than in the government hospital...private hospital also do not have the basic and important facilities eg blood bank and enough doctors. As I am working at MOH, I received lots of maternal mortality cases from private hospitals that are actually preventable.....very scaryy!! Some of the cases, the management is totally different from what us doctors learnt in medical school and it's very frightening how they (specialists) can get their certificate to practice like that. Moreover, I think the treatment charges at FPP Hospital Putrajaya is reasonable, unlike other private centres. What is important, I want my delivery to be conducted by a Muslim female doctor safely....amin.
All d best babe! I believe Putrajaya FPP is way better than any private hosp in Malaysia! Insha Allah, akan dipermudahkan everything for u! im happy for u! :)

ReplyDeletebaru perasaan ada follower baru dekat blog.
Second baby ye..congrats ya...mesti dah deliver masa ni...
anyway..bila seorang doktor yang memberikan statement hosp kerajaan adalah jauh lebih baik dari private hosp terutamanya soal melahirkan anak...sya mesti percaya. Sy pun kalau ada yang kedua nanti, sy nak try FPP tu. Cuma tak pasti kalau semua hosp di Malaysia ada atau hanya PUtrajaya saja.
hai renny..i pun terjumpa blog u mll kiera punye blog :-)
ReplyDeletealhamdulillah dah safely delivered on 16th jan 2013 at FPP Hosp Putrajaya.memang pada sy hosp kerajaan lg selamat..sbb mmg dah tahu mcm management di hosp private n kerajaan..fpp ade di hosp putrajaya,selayang n hukm..
hi ashida...
ReplyDeletesorry kacau u time pantang ni kan..
cuma nak tanya..macam mana nak mohon epidural kalau gov ya? sebab sy difahamkan gov ni susah nak bagi epidural sb alasan mahal. kalau nak juga kena mohon awal. so ada prosedur dia tak? epidural ni ada tak side effect yg teruk? ramai cakap, sakit pinggang/tulang belakang di hari tua nanti. Sy dah lalui sakit beranak waktu first sa. wlpn hanya 6 hours...tapi bila fikir balik...aduh sushnya beranak normal..hahaha. itu yg rasa nak epidural utk 2nd.
pregnant ke skrg renny?congrats!epidural if kat hosp gov depends pada hosp tu la renny.i pun susah nak ckp.sbb kebykan tak kasi epidural sbb takde staf nak jaga patient.tapi rasanya skrg ni mcm ppukm,hosp putrajaya mmg ada offer epidural kpd patient.maybe gov hosp ni ada masa tertentu yg allow epidural utk patients cthnya waktu ofis hour je.u kene tanya hosp yg u plan nak bersalin tu for confirmation.
ReplyDeleteside effect epidural?yg common low blood pressure selepas beri epidural, infection, headache, vomiting, allergic reaction to the medication...backpain salah satu side effect but ada study cakap back pain mmg common in pregnant lady and not totally because of the epidural alone. lain2 side effect susah nak buang air kecil/besar post epidural,nerve injury...ada lagi la lain2 yg uncommon..tapi overall, epidural ni selamat actually..make sure diberi oleh doktor yg sepatutnya la..hehe.
oops panjang pulak comment, boleh buat 1 entry dah ni...hehe
