Last Day of Ramadhan :- (

Today is the last day of Ramadhan for this year. I was just coming back from the hospital and currently in my husband’s office, teman dia basuh akuarium… orang lain busy masak untuk esok, ade orang busy basuh akuarium kat ofis..ish2… after this we’ll go back home, preparing things to bring back to shah alam tonight. We’ll go to nenek’s house for the iftar and then straight to shah alam.

This is my first hari raya as a wife and this year we planned to celebrate the Eid at my husband’s. Initially we planned to have it here in Malacca as my due date is just around the corner..about 2 weeks more, but after the last antenatal checkup 2 days ago, the doctor told me that the probability for me to deliver in these few days are less as the baby is still not engaged, the head is still 4/5 palpable and I don’t have any signs of delivering yet. So we decided to go to Shah Alam for 2 days and then back to Malacca.

Last Thursday. I took on a day leave just for the antenatal checkup. Early in the morning my husband and I had to attend a half day husband friendly course at Malacca hospital and orientation to the wards and the labour room. I think it’s a good programme as it will give the exposure to the couples in preparation for the big event. Later I went for my follow up at ONG clinic, scan was done, my baby is okay but at 38weeks the expected weight was 3.3 kg! I have 2 more weeks..so baby, please don’t gain too much..ummi bagi up to 0.2kg je lagi tau….

Then we went to Pantai hospital to see Dr Hanisah as we planned to deliver our son in that hospital. GH okay je but segan la nak bersalin kat situ..after this kerja kat situ nak jumpa balik midwives, HOs and MOs. Dr Hanisah is a very nice doctor, she did the full physical examination on me in which was not done during my past 8 months follow up in a government hospital and clinics, she explained very well and she included my husband in the conversation, showing and explaining to him about the ultrasound, which one is the baby’s head, abdomen, femur, placenta etc etc. I hope I can be a good doctor in spite of working in a government hospital…that’s why we have to talk to our patient nicely, treat them well as if they are our relatives. No doubt that sometimes the workload in government hospitals and the numbers of patients are 100 times more than private but these should not be the reason why we should treat patients badly.

So today is the last day of Ramadhan for this year. I hope that I’ll have the chance to be in this month again next year. I didn’t manage to khatam 30 juzu’ this year as what I did for the past years. But I really hope my amalan will be accepted by Allah. If we work for the sake of Allah, ikhlas to help other people, insyaAllah, it will be rewarded by Him. Amen.

To all my friends and whoever is reading this, please make dua for me for a safe delivery. Before this, masa sambut baby patients pandai je nasihat suruh org tu teran betul2 la, tarik nafas dalam2 la,jgn kepit la, jgn angkat punggung la…ni bile sendiri nak rasa ni takut la pulak…Ya Allah permudahkanlah kelahiran ini…amin..
