Imanee Nazeefah Izhar

This is my fav photo of our lil lieverd. I know it's a bit blur but....

Nazeefah arrived into this world @ 0415 hours, 20th Oct. All in all, it was a pretty short labour but she did make a grand entrance like aunt su said:)). I started my contractions at 2345,19th Oct and by 0200, 20th Oct - I was 5 cm dilated! She was still in breech position so i insisted on a c/s. According to the report, my water bag burst 1 min before the c/s started as well! Had a c/s under spinal anaesthesia which i took me by surprise since I really thot i had an epidural. Didn't know that till I was up in the ward already:)) and both the nurse n i were looking for the epidural infusion line.

We found out on the table that I had a malformed uterus so my lil lieverd was only using one side therefore she couldn't grow n the reason that she was in breech. The gynae that did the op confirmed that there was no other way that she cud have come out and told me that we made the right decision to have a c/s. Also, that he was shocked his collegue managed to turn her at 36 weeks. Alhamdullillah!

Becoz she is small, she couldn't regulate her temp that well n her glucose levels. So, she had a glucose infusion set up n went into the incubator. Her first 'car' ride was in an ambulance that whisked her off to Juliana Kinderziekenhuis since there were no space for her in Bronovo's SCBU. Alhamdullillah, they managed to find a bed for me at the Rode Kruis Hosp which is next door to Juliana.The 1st few days were pretty difficult for me but I am sooo thankful to Allah that insya Allah that ordeal is over.

The medical service provided was sooo excellent!Alhamdullillah!
