Ikhtiar Mengelakkan Koyak Perineum Sewaktu Bersalin

I got this article from here :

http://mysuperkids.net/ikhtiar-mengelakkan-koyak-perineum-sewaktu-bersalin/

ok ok... aku tau semua org ckp sakit bersalin sgt2 menyakitkan sampaikan kite tak rase bile kene episiotomi. tapi sebab haritu dah nengok video minah saleh ni deliver baby, bende yg paling terpahat diminda aku nih ialah masa minah tu kene "potong"... haihhh time kene potong tu la mata aku terpaku kat skrin.. time2 lain sume aku buat2 tunduk or tengok arah lain... tapi takpela kan.. yg penting ikhtiar... yg lebihnye tawakkal je la ek... heheh

Lumrah bagi ibu bersalin normal mengalami koyakan di bahagian perineum, samada secara semulajadi atau digunting oleh bidan/gynae/jururawat (episiotomi). Episiotomi adalah praktis biasa dalam perbidanan di rantau ini. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat bidan yang mahir mengendalikan hal ini dan dapat mengampu bahagian itu dengan baik agar tidak berlaku koyakan.

Antara langkah2 yang boleh dilakukan oleh ibu hamil bagi mengelakkan koyakan pada perineum sewaktu kelahiran (harap2 doktor/misi/houseman tak cepat2 nak gunting):

• Mengambil supplement secukupnnya agar kulit menjadi elastik. Supplement tersebut terdiri dari:
  • Protein (boleh ambil Soy Protein)
  • Vitamin A (boleh ambil Vita-Lea)
  • Kalsium (boleh ambil Ostematrix)
  • Vitamin E (boleh ambil Vita-E Complex 400 IU)
  • Vitamin C (boleh ambil Vita-C Sustained Released 500mg)
  • Vitamin B (boleh ambil B Complex)
• Mengambil air yang banyak agar kulit dan tisu-tisu sentiasa anjal
• Mengamalkan senaman seperti berenang dan kegel
• Mengurut perineum dengan minyak khas

Saya telah mendapatkan Perineal Gel dari Mothercare (terima kasih kepada seorang teman yang mencadangkan) untuk tujuan ini. Ia sesuai digunakan dari bulan ke-7 kehamilan untuk membantu bahagian perineum menjadi elastik.

Kecik saja botolnya. Harga satu botol ni RM32.00. Boleh didapati di Mother Care.

Testimonial dari rakan saya tu, katanya berkesan hingga gynae pun terkejut sebab beliau ‘stretch beautifully’. Harap2 dapatlah mengelakkan dari koyak atau digunting ya

Mum to be di luar sana bolehla dapatkan gel ni. Kalau tak pun, boleh gunakan minyak zaitun je terus.

Wah makin berdebar pula menunggu kelahiran ni. Dah masuk minggu ke-32. Orang lain takut saya ter-bersalin, tapi masih lagi ada plan untuk aktiviti bulan Mac, apa cerita, LOL.

2nd trimester... energy returns!!! :)

hahha.. citer pasal TTC still in draft status lagi... panjang seyyy... hehehe... so kite citer dulu pasal 2nd trimester... sbb today dah masuk 3rd trimester dah...nnt takut lupe pasal experience masa 2nd trimester nih... huhuhu.. cepat sungguhkan masa berlalu...

orang kata 2nd trimester adalah yg paling best... aku rase gitu gakla... dah kurang muntah2... and bertenaga sket la untuk jalan2 ke shopping mall... hehehe (nih la yang paling best!!! :)). masa nih rasenye every weekend gi shopping mall survey barang baby... huwaa sgt teruja okeh... ngeeeeeeezzzzzz ... tapi aku tak beli satu hape pun... my mum wants me to shop with her bile dah 7 mths nanti.... (bagus gak dia ade coz there's a big fat chance that I'll blow up my budget kalo shopping sorang2... heh).

about selera makan plak, aku takdela teringin makan yg pelik2... I constantly think about food tapi still having hard time to decide what to cook/eat... last2 asik makan menu yg sama je... hehheheh..my eating portion still less that what I used to eat before pregnant... sgt pelik okeh! tapi takpela as long as masa check up doctor cakap my baby's development is normal, sudah cukup bersyukur... :) I think I just gained weight about 3-4 kg in 6 months... siap bile jumpe dr marsita, dia usha aku jap... nengok atas bawah... "hmm... Dr tengok u sangat ok... takde bengkak2 (adekah maksud dia bengkak2 tu "melebar"???....ngeeeeee).. Alhamdullilah"... :)

cerita pasal check up plak, kiteorg ter"skip" our 5th month check up... hehehe... so bile dah 6th month tu, mmg teruja sgt nak tengok baby... rindu nak nengok dia "berenang2"... pusing sana pusing sini... hehehe... tapi we were a bit frustrated sbb tak dapat tengok sgt muka dia... coz baby langsung takmo pandang.. .huhuhu very the pemalu okeh.. tapi tak malu plak nak tunjuk "wee wee" dia... heh.. (ohh... did I mentioned... Insya Allah the baby is a boy! :p)... masa tau gender actually masa the 17th week.. but me being me, I dont want to put high hopes, so aku mcm taklah excited sgt... but bile that 25th week, nih... masa Dr Marsita tunjuk, aku tanye dia sampai 3 kali "betul ke Dr?" .. agaknye Dr bengang ngan aku, dia siap scan and print "wee wee" baby... and bagi kat aku print out tu sambil ckp " nah.. amik... nih buktinye" ...kahkahkah.. lawak gile.. tapi sebenarnye tak kisahlah boy or girl... as long as baby healthy kan? lagipun, Allah Maha Mengetahui ape yang terbaik buat kite bile Dia kurniakan satu2 nikmat tu... so jadilah hamba yg bersyukur yeee... :) so because baby nih boy, memang takleh dok diam... Dr nak ukur size dia pun susah.... huuhuuh hopefully dapat la nengok muka dia masa next check up... Amin...

about my sleeping pattern... well... as expected, it really getting pretty hard to sleep... dengan heartburn nye, baby kicking non stop (especially btul2 masa kite start nak tido... dia pun nak manja2... hehehe... so cute!!!) , dengan kaki krem nye... fuh... it really challenging. pastu susah nak kalih sana kalih sini sbb perut dah besar sket and i'm afraid that i might hurt the baby... huhuhu... not that I'm complaining or anything, cuma kene mentally ready la dgn keadaan2 mcm nih... now, my average sleeping hours is ranging from 4 to 5 hours je.. dlm kul 12pm baru bleh tido, kul 5am da kene bangun keje... huhuuhu... tapi slalunye I will take a nap in the afternoon lepas kije dlm 1-2 hours.. so kire okla rehat tu... hehehe.. tapi kan.. I have this weird imagination whereby bile bangun2 tido je, I always imagine perut I yang bulat and besar nih tetiba vanish mcm tu je... huhuhu sedey sedey... so, i have this habit to tap my stomach to feel my baby kicking (sebelum bukak mata pun... ), then baru rase relieffff sgt2... huhuhuh... normal ke ha pikir bukan2 mcm nih? haihhhhssss....

As I didn't gain that much weight, I still can wear my regular clothes sampai 6 bulan... I just bought maternity pants la sbb off course perut dah start besar kan... pastu nasib gak kaki tak bengkak ( so I still wear my regular shoes till now... ) cuma masa kat Jb aritu je bengkak sekejap... maybe sbb byk sgt jalan n berdiri... I was quite shocked to see my feet swollen like that... btul2 mcm kaki gajah okeh... hehehehe... siap hubby bangga kaki aku lagi besar dari dia... cehhhh.... tapi after a few days, dah ok balik... I just put my feet on a few pillows masa tido... itu je kot petua nye...

rasenye itu je kot mende2 yg obvious yg bleh aku bleh ingat... but honestly, this is truly a life changing experience, you won't feel the same ever again, your body won't be the same ever again.. besar sungguh kuasamu ya Allah... Subhanallah...

How I love books!!! :)

Alhamdullilah, my reading habit doesn't change during my pregnancy. I even read more than usual... as some of the advices that I read, pregnant woman are encourage to do activities that can stimulate the child's mind. The activities includes reading the materials that can increase your knowledge, do mind games like soduku, IQ test and do maths exercises. (My mother in law even encourage me to do more cleaning! :P )But of course I prefer to do a lot more reading than other activities.....hehehehe. Anyways, below are the list of books that I've read and planning to read. With only about 4 months ++ left before my due dates, i really hope that I'll finish my readings. For I know I won't be able to even touch any books after my baby arrived.... (tido pun susah apetah lagi nak reading... mimpilah!!! heheheh)

so, just to share few books that I managed to read during the 5 mths plus of my pregnancy & plan to read in the next few months in no particular order :)

This is one of the firsts book I've read. I was so touched (still am!!!) with his leadership style which truly follow our beloved Rasulullah way of a leader. What I love the most about this book is that the author really described in detail the history (not just quoting the hadith) in a very interesting way.. I was really hooked that I actually finished it in one night... sampai pening2 kepala esoknye.. hehehe

I bought this book because it was quite cheap. I think it was about RM32.90. And it was colourful n full of pics! I loikeeee.... hehehe... I always want to have at least one comprehensive book about pregnancy and baby... was thinking to get one of those "what to expect" series.... but macam boring je content dalam buku tu... hehehe...

This book was actually recommended to read by one of my favourite blogger. It is really hard to find this book in bookstore. But I plan to buy it online coz it is much cheaper there (about 20% less of the retail price... if I'm not mistaken)

Last week when I went to MPH Midvalley, I had a chance to read this book a bit. My verdict: very2 informative especially for first time mothers who determined to breastfeed their kids... believe me, i've read a lot in the internet to find comprehensive information about breastfeed but none can compare the content of this book. I just have to get one!!!! heheheh... ok ok... i know, breastfeed is all about experience it yourself.. like trial and error kind of thing and you pick up and learn from there... but for me, without enough & correct information, sometime you can get frustrated quickly and low motivation to continue breastfeeding your kids.

Man... I wish every mother will read this book... really inspired to raise my children like Imam Syafie... Amin..

(ingat lagi masa baca buku nih berebut2 dgn hubby.. sbb dia yg baca dulu.. disebabkan saya kurang sabar... so everytime dia tak pegang buku nih, I quickly took it and read... hehehe)

After I know that I was pregnant... the first thing I did was I went to the bookstore (off course after confirming my pregnancy with my gynae... hehe) I was sooooo excited to buy books!!! mcm weird kan sbb some of us terus pegi mothercare ke hape... hehhehe... tapi tak kisahla... preference masing2... so I saw this book and browsed it through.. wow... a lot of things I don't know and wants to know about child development are being explained thoroughly here..... many of you might say you can get a lot of info from the internet too... yes, true. but isn't in easier when you can have all the info in one book? where you can read in the car (while hubby driving.. hehe), one you can read it before you sleep (saya memang jenis takleh tido kalau tak pegang buku dulu... tapi adekah habit ini akan berkekalan??? tak berani weh nak janji hhehehe)...

So after I read "how to have a smarter baby", I was even more curious about child development. So I went to the bookstore and scan through the books about child development. This book is even better!!! It has loads of pics and methods for parents who wants to train their child at the earlier stage (ada satu gambar tu dia tunjuk the mother just hold her baby hands and swing the baby side to side... gile hape... kalo mak aku nengok mau dia ingat kes mendera baby...hehehe... but i supposed those method is to build courage and confidence in the children at really2xxxx early age... tapi extreme kan omputeh nih? hhehehee)

hahaha... this book also adelah satu pinjaman.. it's my sis in law punye...I'm not sure where she bought it... sbb mcm tade je kat Msia nih... tapi besttttttttt sgttttt!!!!! sangat menginsafkan okeh... yela, kite idup sedap2 je kat msia nih.. but in reality, some of our brothers and sisters out there are struggling to survive... I burst into tears while reading this book... (termasuk sbb hormonal changes jugak la nih)...

ha, buku nih plak I bought when I was in Dublin for only Eur5.... haaa gile murah... hehehehe... nothing much to say about this book.. the content practically the same as other pregnancy's book.. the week by week pregnancy development, pregnancy diet and all that sorts...

This is one of the recommended purchase... sgt2 bagus... banyak doa2 dlm nih yg boleh diamalkan..

ade a few more books that I've read but I can't really recall.. tak kisah lah kan.. yang penting quality reading not the quantity.. ye tak?? hehehe

Last but not least, apart from the above books, do try not to miss baca Al-Quran setiap hari... I think yang nih paling important... because Quran tu kan penuh dengan mukjizat... you will feel a lot stronger and healthier and really2 enjoy your pregnancy moments....Insya Allah.. :)

Ok.. next entry maybe I'll write about my TTC (Trying To Conceive) Journey.. hubby yang insist... dia kata share la our experience so that other people that go through the same problem will get inspired and have some ideas on what to do... yela, ape guna nye ilmu kalau tak dikongsi ye tak??? sharing is caring maaa.... hehehee

Waiting for the one...

Ted: Okay, I'm going to say something out loud that I've been doing a pretty good job of not saying out loud lately. What you and Tony have, what I thought for a second you and I had, what I know that Marshall and Lily have, I want that. I do. I keep waiting for it to happen. I'm waiting for it to happen and I guess I'm just tired of waiting. And that is all I'm going to say on that subject.

Stella: You know how I talked my way out of a speeding ticket?

Ted: Really?

Stella: I was heading upstate with my parents, I was doing 90 on the country roads. I got pulled over. So this cop, gets out of his car, swaggers over and he says, 'Lady, I've been waiting for you all day.' And I said, 'Sorry Officer, I got here as fast as I could.'

Ted: For real?

Stella: No, it's just a joke. [pause] I know that you're tired of waiting. And you may have to wait a little while more but, she's on her way, Ted. And she's getting here as fast as she can.

Suka sgt conversation ni!!! it was between Ted & Stella on How I Met Your Mother Series (Episode: As fast as she can) ... Kesian kat Ted.. A hopeless romantic guy tired of waiting for the girl of his dream. believe me... I know how it feels.. huhuhu.. hope whoever still waiting for "the one" will not ever lose hope coz believe me... he or she exists... just wait a little more and never stop praying to the One up above.. Amin..

First Trimester

Ok. Sebab malas nak tulis byk2... I will just have my story in a point form basis k.. hehe

1. The first week I knew that I was pregnant, it was really alright. tak banyak changes. Just I felt really2xxx hot all the time.. lagipun masa tu, I don't want to put high hopes as it was only 5 weeks. *masa nih dah start suka minum mende sejuk2...hihi...nyaman sungguh*

2. It started on my 2nd week I knew I was pregnant. Morning, afternoon, evening, night... u name it...Gile2 muntah.... tak selera makan sumer... so sad.. Bile jln byk sket je... rase mual2... penah dua tiga kali ajak hubby gi jalan2 kat shopping complex, pastu tak sampai 5 minit dah ajak dia balik... huhuhu

3. It went on till about my 14 weeks of pregnancy. suddenly perutku rase ok.. tak bloated.. n tak rase tekak nih ade mende yg mencucuk2...Alhamdulillah sgt2... tapi pagi2 after bangun tido mesti rase nak buangkan seluruh isi perut.. tapi yg keluar hanye lah air liur... huhuhu... (yg nih sampai skang la still ade lagi... )

yang peliknye... semua org tanye aku... ade craving ape2 tak.. especially my mum sbb dia nak masakkan... tapi aku btul2 tade selera... ape ade depan mata aku makan la... malas rasenye nak pikir any special food sebab tekak masih loya lagi... cuma ade a few things la mende2 pelik yg aku ingat:

a. i think masa 8th -11th week, aku gile nak makan nasi lemak kat OU... nasi lemak kecik2 tu.. apetah nama kopitiam tu... aku pun dah lupe... nama je kecik, tapi satu RM2.70 k...huhuh... dahla pastu dah tentu2 aku muntah kan... hiyeeeeeee...... :(

b. everyday mesti ade air milo kotak + ribena dalam esbok...

c. air yg nak minum semua kene sejuk2... tak lalu nak minum air suam

d. kalo kat umah mak aku... pagi petang siang malam asik bancuh air oren kordial dgn air sejuk... huhuhu

e. ade satu minggu tu.. gila minum air laici.. pagi petang siang malam... air laici... hehehehe

f. pastu takleh makan daging sgt... terbayang pun takleh... loya betull... so byk makan ayam + ikan...

g. food portion yg aku makan sgt2 sikit compared to before aku pregnant.. suku ade kot... huhuhhnih yg btul2 sedih la coz aku takleh nak menikmati sgt food yg aku makan.. sekadar taknak bg lapar je.. sebab kalo aku lambat je sket makan... mula la uwekk uwekkkk... hehhehe

h. sgt sensitif kpd bau shower creme...

i. nasib baik aku jenis bukan boleh throw up kat mana2... rasenye skali je ter'uwek' kat umah mak, skali kat opis... lain2 semua mmg kat umah sendiri... sbb mmg tak lalu nak "uwek" kat sebarangan tempat... tapi ade satu citer klaka... masa my 15th week, teringin sgt nak minum mocha kat vendor machine opis, so try la minum skali... hmm... nak dijadikan citer, masa on the way tgh drive balik umah dr opis, tetiba boleh muntah dalam keta.... huwaaaaa... nasib baik mmg dah awal2 letak tisu kat co pilot seat.. so taklah teruk sgt damage done in the car.... huhuhu...

j. nih yg paling best la hehehe ----> makin2 mengada2 dgn hubby... suka sgt nak manja2...hikhikhik

rase2nye tu je kot cerita yg teringat.. nnt bleh tambah lagi.. hehehe

overall, i think my 1st trimester is quite tough... but Alhamdullilah I managed to cope it well.. mmg ade q few times rase mcm nak nangis, tapi tahan kan jela.. mestila nak baby jadi tough jugak kan... hehehe...

14 weeks already maaa

Alhamdulillah.. 14 weeks! wow... rasenye mcm baru smlm pegang UPT stick yg ade double line tuh... hehehe... even though I have not been 100% healthy, I try to go thru my days patiently. memang sedey la sbb tak lalu nak makan and constantly throw up after every meal. Kesian kat baby sebenarnye.... I always worry... is my baby healthy? does he got enuff nutrients from me as I could not eat much? huhuhu... hopefully he does.. Aminnnn... even though I cannot feel him kick yet, I can now feel movement in my womb.. maybe he/she is doing some kind of somersault or flipping here n there? yela.. ruang masih byk lagi ruang kat dlm tu... hehehe... last time when when we had 2nd check up @ 11 weeks, we had the opportunity to see the movement of our baby... hihihi.. comel sgt2... hubby n me were like stunned & speechless to see "si comel"... gile aktif anak haku nih rupenye... tak henti2 gerak2 dgn aktifnye.. as if mcm dia really excited to see babah and ummi..:P nampak tangan and kaki dia mencapai capai ke atas... and the heartbeat also is very strong.... (boleh dgr kat video dgn jelasnye) kiutttttt sgt2!!!! Subhanallah.... Alhamdulillah :) coz everytime tibe masa untuk jumpe doc for check up aku mesti takleh nak tido mlm tu... risau ya amat... takutla kan.. anything can happen at this stage... tapi Alhamdullilah, setakat ni semuanye baik... tula, baru tau ape perasaan seorang ibu...huhuhuhu... anyway, can't wait for the next check up.... doktor kata maybe masa tu dah bleh rase baby's kicking and baby's gender... really can't wait!!! :) thanks to Allah to give me the most precious experience that I can ever have....

-Subhanallah... Alhamdulillah... Amin-

Alhamdullilah...

Salam,

Lama gile weh tak update blog weh.. seems forever, eh??? biasala, bukan tade idea.. tapi M.A.L.A.S.. hehehe...

Lets see, what should i write about? Alhamdulllilah.. life is getting better... walaupun kiteorg still tengah terumbang ambing especially on financial matters, we both tried as much as we can to be calm and strong about it... You see, Abang just started his own business so I tried my best to support him as much as I can... Sometimes I am worried and knowing my "old" self... aku akan gile panik and bad mood coz I never really had encounter a "real" financial problem before... and knowing me (again..), I always turn to my parents for support...but this time, I set my foot down and determine to resolve the problem only by us... (hahaha... dah matang kan aku... hehehe)..

Firman Allah:

” Allah tidak akan membebankan seseorang itu melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya.”

-Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286- (pegang ayat nih cukup2... Insya Allah kite akan berasa tenang & tabah dengan dugaan dariNya.. Insya Allah)

hahaha... dah matang kan aku... hehehe) Sebenarnye bagus jadik matang nih... the "old" me suka merajuk... bad mood tak tentu pasal... mende2 kecik pun nak jadik hal kan... Abang memang sgt2 bersabar dgn kerenah aku... tapi kadang2 I really tested his patient and meletup jugak dia akhirnye... hehehehe... (susah sbrnye nak nengok dia marah nihhhh...hehe). Lagipun biasala.. sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit.. inikan pula suami isteri... chewahhhhh.... :) Tapi sejak Ramadhan yang lalu, aku ade byk peluang bersama dgn Al-Quran and really2 learn the meaning, Subhanallah.... banyak sebenarnye pedoman yg tersirat.. betul lah Al-Quran itu adelah mukijizat... so kesimpulannye, di kala kite gembira, sedih, confuse, marah... kembali lah kepada Al -Quran... moga2 ade cahaya hidayahnye yg melekat dalam hati kita nih.. Amin...
