The Triplets' Diary: 23 Oct 2015 : 37 weeks

Today is the day; Friday 23 Oct 2015, 10 Muharram (Hari Asyura). I am nervous. Dr Arifah asked me to fast starting 5am and come to hospital at 8am. Procedure will be at 11am. Wuwuwuuu mixed feelings. To be honest, I'm scared. haha. Macam2 pikir...taubat n minta maaf siap2 from all T_T

So we arrived at TMC as scheduled. Pilih single room yg biasa but not available, so terpaksa la amik single executive. Actually tak banyak beza pun pricewise. Then naik wheelchair pergi kat ward (padahal larat lagi nak jalan, saja mengada :p ). Nurses buat ECG on me to monitor babies' heartbeat. Berselirat wayar on my tummy coz ada 3 babies :'D

Single exec room at TMC

1 for mommy, 3 for babies :D

Then Dr Arifah minta nurse bawak I pergi her clinic prior to surgery. Sampai je klinik dia, she greeted me and said "terharu pulak saya". Lol. I terharu gak coz manage to extend my pregnancy till 37week 1day. Dari awal dulu banyak kali she highlighted to me that I have risk of premature labour (and many more risks for multiple pregnancy). Alhamdulillah Allah protected me and my babies till they are mature enough....sangat bersyukur. She scanned me for the last time before my babies go live :D

Since my baby girl sat at the bottom of my womb, Dr Arifah planned to pull her first....So she'll be Triplet #1 @ kakak, followed by Triplet #2 @ abang and Triplet #3 @ adik.

I went back to the ward before nurses push my bed to the operation theatre. Sempat jumpa mama papa in the ward, they will be waiting for us sambil mengaji minta dipermudahkan. Wuuu sedih sangat rasa and nervous tak habis2. I will go to the battle field to take out the babies. Ok, lagi cuak. The time has came; nurses prep me for the operation and pushed my bed to the OT. Hubby joined me in the OT. Thought of taking pictures/recording videos, but TMC's policy doesn't allow it. I'm sure I won't watch it though, but I just want to keep it for the babies' memory :p The operation started at 11am.

The procedure started with the anaes giving me spinal injection (local anaes) and inserting branula on me. Hubby was by my side, trying to keep me calm. I didn't know when the doctor started to cut me open. There's one time I felt hard to breath and I thought it's normal, so I just bear with it. Then the anaes asked me, "can you breath?" only then I told her the situation. She inserted the liquid i-dont-know-what and immediately I felt so much better. I think it's morphine? no? I started to feel itchy on my face and arms after she inserted the liquid. I kept on scratching my face and can't focus to what my husband said and what's happening on my tummy :p

At 11.35am, baby Aydina is out (2.3kg), followed by her little brothers Aysar @11.36am (2.31kg) and Aydan @11.37am (1.47kg).
