Bismillah, Ma shaa Allah
ShuRa’s First Baby
15 March 2021
Currently at CCK Poly just checked and Alhamdulillah 3rd urine test and positive.
1st Urine test on 12 March with a faint line but I had a strong feeling and just had to share it with my mom because I was excited and so scared at the same time. Took another test at home on 14 March and had a strong + line. Alhamdulillah syukur.
Been having bad cramps, constipation and vomiting. Like whatever I ate comes right back out.
So today checked with the doctor. She said it's normal at the first trimester to have such but if it's overbearing have to go to A&E. Alhamdulillah the test today was positive too. She said probably due on 17 Nov
Booked for NUH.
A week later to go over for a checkup.
Ya Allah, I can’t thank you enough for this miracle. I really can’t wait to tell the hubs. Really hope I could surprise him on his birthday on 2 April.
Update: I told him on my birthday instead. Lol.
20 April 2021
At 10pm-ish Bunda almost going 10weeks.
Your daddy couldn’t bear to see me in pain and brought me to A&E.
It wasn’t because of the constant vomiting after every sahur & buka. But Bunda had bad chest pain up to the neck and jaws. It was there since afternoon a new pain. Doc gave a jab and insert a few medications and supposedly iv dripped 4 bags coz Bunda was dehydrated. But Bunda couldn’t take the cold in A&E and was feeling a little better so wanted to be released earlier. The chest pain was indeed acid reflux. Was discharged at around 2am-ish.
22 April 2021
Finally, the day has come for us to see you! Bunda was having a bad tummyache due to a week of constipation and the meds were finally kicking in. It was not a day to be in pain and Bunda’s anxieties had to budge in too. But Bunda and Daddy was super duper excited to see and hear you. Unfortunately, only got to see you, baby. But Alhamdulillah doc said your heart was beating normally as it should. Ahhhh I cried (controlled tears) of the joy of coz!!!!
2 June 2021
Just to update Bunda has been feeling a lot better lately. Yeah, there are still bad days where vomiting is constantly there but I have the appetite that means I yearn for more foods. And can’t stop thinking bout them until I get a taste of them. Haha!
Anyway waited for your Daddy to come home and be ready for the next baby appointment.
Alhamdulillah, got the same doc from the last which is nicer and friendlier. Bunda’s urine results showed that no more dehydrated and all good. Went to check on your heartbeat. Oh my Allah my first baby’s heartbeat. Allah is great! How I wished I had recorded it. Daddy heard it too though he was behind the curtains. But nevertheless, I know Daddy was so happy to hear you. All those worries are gone just like that knowing you are okay. Really can’t wait for next month for your gender reveal haha! In shaa Allah all goes well. Ameen.
28 July 2021
Assalamualaikum anak Bunda & Daddy (prob what you will be calling us once you can talk), today we went for another checkup but before that, we went to Queensway to buy your Daddy’s boots for his new job starting next week. Your Daddy is trying so hard for us sayang. Then Bunda met the NUH “psychiatrist” to share how Bunda is feeling and all and also the MAMS lady who gave Bunda $20 for the survey Bunda did. Then met the doc (so disappointed it wasn’t the same doc and to make it worst a man; just don’t feel comfortable with a man checking Bunda) get to see you again through the scan and asked if we could record the sound of your heartbeat hehe. Luckily, the nurse was super nice. Daddy recorded. We’re just glad to hear you; knowing you are just fine and growing healthier and healthier. In shaa Allah ameen. So on the 13 July, we will get to see your gender. We’re planning not to as we wanted to have a little “baby gender reveal” just Daddy & Bunda. You’re our first love so yeah. Can’t hide the excitement. Teehee.
13 July 2021
Today was the most looked forward to. Luckily Daddy doesn’t even need to go to work after asking for 1/2 day leave. We went to change the Singtel box first at One Raffles then went to NUH, to get breakfast then Bunda did the cheek swab for MAMS then waited and waited and waited for the scan. And finally, we got to see you again, still so active Alhamdulillah syukur Ya Allah! We get to see your heart, your hands, legs and all your body parts, this time longer and more detailed. We didn’t wanna know your gender yet and asked the doc to keep it in the envelope. Once done with the scan, we went for a breastfeeding class. It lasted like 20mins. Then we went to search for balloons! Hahaha, it was hectic. Daddy made some calls to check for last-minute gender reveal balloons available. Haha! Bunda was getting anxious by this time. We really wanted (Bunda la) to have it today! So Daddy called SKP again the one at Clementi Mall. So we decided to DIY haha. Save cost! It was so funny. We asked the cashier at SKP to put either the pink or blue confetti in the black latex balloon that costs less than $2. We passed them the envelope and waited outside SKP. The most anxious wait ever. Haha! We bought some food, took the DIY balloon, grab back home. Waited for your Uncle Bro to come out from the toilet once we reached home. There was Bu Nyai, Yah Yayi and Uncle Bro at home. We video called Mami & Dadima. And the rest was history! I kept an album for you to see. With some videos too. Can’t wait to see you my dear boy 🤍
P.S: We had another gender reveal at your Oma & Pak Awe’s place on 20 July during Hari Raya Haji where your Aunt (Umi Yah) and her family was also there to also celebrate her 33rd birthday. Your Lil Uncle (Mamang Uki) was the one who popped the balloon. They were all so happy as they really wanted a boy.
19 July 2021
Your daddy couldn’t accompany Bunda to the NUH doctor’s appointment this time as he just changed his job so it’s really not easy to take multiple off. So this time your Bu Nyai accompanied Bunda. In the morning we went for her blood test at CCK Polyclinic then went to eat breakfast at Macdonald where it was now due to the KTV’s covid case numbers rising, only 2 pax were allowed to eat. Anyway, after that, we went shopping a bit then went home to solat zuhr and then went to NUH after. We took a scary bus ride (it was windy, wet and drizzling and the driver drove so fast) so you can imagine your Bu Nyai holding your Bunda tightly. (I love her so much). We waited to see the doctor for almost 2hrs 😅 but luckily even tho it was a male doctor he was really nice and friendly. But then came bad news about Bunda’s cyst growing and had to take an expensive blood draw to check if it was cancerous or not. I was so scared that it would affect you and me. (Bunda is bad with handling pain.) after all that chaos, we went to eat and just had like a heart to heart talk and then went on home.
6 August 2021
Bunda had to go to Polyclinic on this day, accompanied by you Yah Yayi as Daddy has to work. Bunda has some problems with peeing and itching down there lol. And Bunda was worried it could be UTI. Which was true Bunda had it. They checked Bunda’s urine test and sadly Bunda’s results weren’t good. So for now Bunda has no choice but to eat the antibiotics given super huge one. Bluek.
13 August 2021
Went to Polyclinic for a revisit to check if Bunda’s UTI has cleared. Went with Yah Yayi but waited so long until your daddy came and went to see the doctor with Me. The doc was nice luckily Bunda’s white blood cell has gone down from 800 to 80 after taking the meds but sadly UTI is still seen so have to go for another visit and continue the medication. After that went to see Bunda at Hillion.
15 August 2021
Went to accompany Yah Yayi for his 2nd vaccine jab but Bunda's discomfort and the private area was so bad that Bunda was moody all day. So Bu Nyai asked to go and see the Doctor at a GP clinic. Was funny cause we went everywhere to find a clinic but since it was a Sunday so a bit hard. Finally, your Daddy found a family clinic at Senja BLK 628. Luckily enough it was a female doc. Bu Nyai went in with Bunda this time. The doc was nice and checked and diagnosed that Bunda was sadly having a Vaginal Infection too. Arghhhh
19 August 2021
One of the scariest days of Bunda’s life. So as you may read the prev story above I’m still on my anti-biotic so went to Poly at CCK with Yah Yayi for the 3rd time to check if the infection has gone and to my surprise, it has gotten worst. From RBI 800 to 80 now to 1800 😱. Also, the night before the checkup Bunda’s tummy was so tight and felt some pain in my lower abdomen. So the doc decided to send Bunda to NUH A&E. So off Bunda cried first then took a grab which at first because of panic, almost went in someone else’s grab 😅. Then we reached A&E the nurse said since Bunda is 24 weeks and above which I was currently 27 weeks, I had to go straight to the labour ward in a wheelchair. Hadoi! I was so scared plus Yah Yayi couldn’t follow. So down came the tears again. Suddenly I heard, “that’s my wife!” Your daddy came to the rescue. Only he can accompany me but had to do a swab test first which he had to pay $20 and got 2 test kits. Then Bunda was pushed to Ward 22 Delivery Suite bed 11 first. And they checked me. It was so scary but Bunda try to practice breathing and calm down. The check my tummy and put like a “vaginal clip opener” and swab my “below” also. It’s definitely not comfortable but painless. The most painful was the needle and the rough nurse who couldn’t find Bunda’s vein to put the drip on me cause your heart rate was suddenly high. Daddy was all the way with Bunda, trying to make Bunda laugh, read some doa for Bunda. He is so amazing and Im so grateful for him. But now although Bunda has been discharged still no news about the UTI and what is going on with me. So have to wait for the next OBG appointment at Clinic G then I’ll ask away.
24 August 2021
Bunda had to fast from 12am and be at Clinic G by 8:30am. Daddy took 1 whole day of unpaid leave. When we came they took my 1st blood test and 2 more extra blood test for MAMS. Then Bunda had to drink the glucose drink which actually tasted like Fanta Orange only that there’s no gas and it's super sweet. Bunda managed to finish it in 6mins. Then the doctor called to come in. Alhamdulillah, no results of infection were seen in Bunda’s urine test. But have to continue the antibiotics. And Doc asked if Bunda wants to take the pregnancy vaccines which if I’m not wrong for flu and for you. And Bunda also booked my covid vaccine with NUH so in total I would need to take 4 jabs 😅. But today Bunda only got 1 pregnancy jab as the other one was out of stock. So after that took the second jab
14 September 2021
Your daddy accompanied Bunda for another appointment at clinic G and Bunda’s first covid vaccine jab.
27 September 2021
Your Yah Yayi accompanied Bunda as he also had his appt at NUH. It was a long wait coz he was in the morning mine was in the afternoon so we ate and he slept a few times while waiting for hahahah. I went for a scan at the fetal care centre where he get to see you and your pouty mouth super cute! Then we head to clinic g for the appointment.
11 October 2021
Today your daddy accompanied Bunda as I have a checkup at clinic G and after that took my second jab. Double checked with the doc if needed c-sect as Bunda’s cyst was getting bigger but Alhamdulillah doc said if all goes well may not need to.
12 October 2021
Bunda didn’t take the second jab well couldn’t sleep well super tired super weak body aches all over. So took anarex thought that it was like any other panadol but the pain worsened towards my chest. (Which the doc said pregnant woman can’t take 😱 in my heart kept saying sorry to you and rubbed my belly.) So your Daddy brought me to A&e and had to take a few blood tests, 2 ECGs which was super uncomfortable bcoz Bunda had to remove the bra. Urgh. We were there from 6pm-ish to 11pm-ish. Worst pain ever but Alhamdulillah am now feeling much better.
20/21 October 2021
Had “contractions” and daddy time it and it was close to each other the night of 19 Oct and the next day, 20 Oct only had mild contractions here and there but was worried during shower time if some of my water bags leaked. It felt like I kept peeing while showering, cleansed it over and over again but kept coming out. Tried sitting down again and wiping then putting on a new set of panty liner and underwear but yup wet again just clear unscented kinda wet so told your Yah Yayi and called your daddy who was still at work. Luckily it was around 4ish to 5pm so daddy was about to head home. So once daddy came, we called the delivery suite and was so mad at how the nurse speaks. But we just follow through and head to A&E like how we were told. Daddy sent Bunda first before he had to take the ART test to go up. While I wait for a porter to send me up. Went in for checks and had to take to swabs. ART & another awfully painful one. Well, not as painful as the butt jab for your lungs that bunda got. No leaking as told but contractions were huge and close together. So they gave pills and the butt jab and pills didn’t work so had to take like a sidearm jab which was not as painful as the butt one but as told heart rate will go up but didn’t know it could also give me the shivers. Then had to wait so no choice had to be admitted to Ward 48, Bed 22. (btw the nurse at the delivery suite was super nice this time but I couldn’t get her name oops). Daddy was super nice to stay till 4pm-ish which was when the nurse saw him and shoo him away. Daddy was super tired. But bunda was okay with him leaving as it's almost 5am which means Good Morning! Now still waiting for the second painful butt jab to be monitored and also waiting for daddy to bring food coz breakfast was secopot je k. Doc said have to stay another day but hell to the no. I don't wanna!

16 November 2021
Probably the last checkup at clinic G.
Your Bu Nyai accompanied Bunda.
She took a week's leave (which was never easy for her) to take care of me well it was supposed to be after my delivery but her work is so inconsiderate so yeah. The day before that was your Buyut’s birthday, we celebrated just among us Dadima, Bunda’s family and your atok (Paman Jai) at Bukit Batok, Dadima’s house, where we ate lots of food but the funny thing is the next day only Bu Nyai and I had diarrhoea. Maybe that leads to Bunda having such a painful stomach along with the cramps. The checkup at clinic G went okay they said Bunda was 3cm dilated (which means it was getting closer to meeting you) then after that we went to eat where halfway thru I was needing the toilet so bad (diarrhoea) then once all done we went to get Starbucks (Christmas special drinks) after that went Ang Mo Kio to get your Dadima’s present. Your Bu Nyai was not feeling well so we had to go back right after we got the present. Once back home we took turns to have “war” in the toilet”. Right after the “war” in the toilet Bunda was not feeling okay and it got worst and worst because Bunda had a little “stress” over something & someone who came so maybe it made it worst. So Bu Nyai & Uncle Bro rushed Bunda to the hospital after we called the delivery suite. Everyone was so worried, even your Ya Yayi cried and kissed Bunda on the forehead. And Buyut cried when we went to bid goodbye at her place. Once at the a&e bunda had to stay in a&e first coz the delivery suite was full and Daddy had yet to arrive. They checked and bunda was still 3cm still early and nothing alerting to do. So had to wait. In the delivery suite, the doc said either to go home or stay in the ward and just walk around to get dilated faster. So bunda & your daddy decided to go home. Your Atok, Yah Yayi & Bu Nyai came (while waiting daddy & bunda ate at Kopitiam but yet again halfway thru bunda had to go to the toilet) to pick us up at the hospital. Bunda was still in pain. We went home and bunda tried walking around, sitting on the birth ball and just trying to make the dilation faster. Then went to sleep. 3am bunda’s stomach hurts so went to the toilet to take a poo after that while cleaning myself, bunda realised something and was shocked so threw it on the floor. To my surprise, it was my mucus plug. And there was still some bleeding after. (Another sign of getting closer to meeting you)
23 November 2021
Appt scan & clinic g with your daddy
Still 3cm but did a sweep so waited for 1hr plus roaming around nuh to see if contractions were regular and it was. So daddy called the midwife and we went in. Checked and still 3cm but the doc wanted to admit bunda to the ward and drip antibiotic. Ward 48 bed 7 asked for 6 bedders but since no bed got a 4 bedder.
24 November 2021

Thursday, 25 November 2021
40weeks & 5days
Samudra Musa Bin Muhammad Shuib
12:07am
3.6kg
Labour ward 22 bed 12
Went home at 3/4pm-ish. Your Mummy Sya & uncle bro came to pick us up. They were super excited to meet you.
- 4cm dilated and was sent to the labour ward
- Did not feel much pain yet but took the epidural still as I know my body best. (Don't care about what people gonna say about this as I still was in PAIN even with the epidural.)
- Waterbag wasn't fully burst, I mean even after they burst it, I didn't feel much pain or water coming out of me.
- At around 8cm was having a high fever, high heart rate. The baby was stressed, high heart rate too and was facing sunnyside up. Doc suggested C-sect at this point.
- Doc had to put her whole fist in to turn baby to face downwards.
- This was when the waterbag fully bursts.
- I was in total pain after could not move and was kinda told off by the nurse to sit up by myself!
- I (like always) panicked and cried. I was so in pain and thought oh, my cysts burst!
- Only to be told off that you're in pain because of your contraction. Baby is coming out anytime now.
- They gave me "painkillers" like the gas thingy and such which did not really help but I was like just give me anything NOW!
- They were about to take me to c-sect but my family prayed and I managed to give birth normally.
- Pushed a few times and my little human came out.
- They placed him on my tummy and cried so loud without tears.
- Like, do not freaking know why my tears could not come out.
- But the FEEELS of his weight on my tummy.
- Maigod I AM A MOM!
- THAT IS MY LITTLE HUMAN?!
- WHUATTTTTT.
