My Little Mujahid

Subhanallah Alhamdulillah Wallahu Akbar!

Announcing the arrival of our new bundle of blessings, Amir Zakwan @ Haikal bin Alizam bin Haji Abdul Karim@ Haji Aliassim bin Matzin :p Born on the 21st September 2011 at 7.54pm weighing 3.2 kg.
I had my first contraction at 3am Wednesday morning but only woke DH up around 4+ when I realized more were coming and they were getting more intense. We went to Tutong hospital as my plan was to have my baby delivered there. I was 1cm dilated upon arrival and progressed to 5cm at 11am. However there was little progress in the afternoon and the doctor decided to send me to RIPAS. I was straight away sent to the Labour Room and had my water ruptured by the doctor to induce labour. However she wasn't happy with the baby's heartbeat shown on the CTG machine and sent me for an urgent C-Sect. Everything went extremely well and I was warded at Ward 14 for 5 days.

Breastfeeding was also a breeze as baby latched on pretty well since the first day already and the colostrum made its debut immediately alhamdulillah. I had a very amazing stay there as my dearest friend was also a nurse working at that ward. Most of the nurses were extremely helpful and friendly and the Paed Doctor, Dr Gillian, was lovely! Alhamdulillah now Ummi & Haikal are having a great time together at home with Abi who is on 20-day leave :D


Love this picture of DH & Baby!

Huge thanks to my beloved family, relatives and friends for all the lovely wishes, thoughts & prayers posted on my FB wall as well as those sent to my phone. May Allah bless you all.
