There's a reason why 2 people stay together: they give each other something nobody else can

and it's already 2019.  hello readers. i still like to write and share things that i think might be beneficial for people out there. So here I am.   Am actually on 7-day mc following cyst surgery on my scalp. yes, scalp. how did it get there?  i don't know. how long did it take for u to notice the appearance? when it got bigger and multiplied- probably 1-2 years ago how many were they?  7 were they big?  yes, according to my surgeon were they painful?  just one of them, the biggest one how was the surgery? since i was under full GA (ie totally konked out) I would say it was okay haha Plus my surgeon was a pretty funny guy so he made everything seemed smooth Check out Dr Shahrol Azmi at PCMC website how is post surgery then? okay. the pain comes here and there but bearable alhamdulillah how much did it cost you to remove it? RM9k+ since I was admitted for 1 night. Nurse told me it mi...

As i said earlier, I want this blog to be a platform where people can find info so I want to share as much useful info that I can over here. We had experience with 3 paeds so far namely: 1. Dr. Anna Padma She was originally Suphie's paed during her birth, but ever since we got to know her, we chose to see her everytime for almost everything haha. Our kids love seeing her, talking to her and playing with so many toys in her room. All smiles and friendly all the time. Whenever we felt that our child need to be admitted, we wanted our child to be admitted under her care cos she is flexible and full of empathy as she understands parents' worries, concerns and hardships. She also made us realise that as parents, we need to be patient and remember that despite all the medications and treatments, any kind of illness will take its own course and most of them actually may not need strict medical intervention. https://www.princecourt.com/doctors/dr-anna-padmavathy-soosai/ 2. Dr. ...

It's my 36 day of pantang today and here is the birth story for my kids' reference in the future (read: always listen to your mom ok giving birth was not easy) On the 12th April we went to see Dr. Seri for my 38-week check up, anticipating some certainty "Hi nadzirah, i was waiting for you since the day you informed me about the bleeding tapi takde dtg2 pun" "tulah doc..i thought losing the mucus plug would mean I'd be experiencing labor right away but no..there were contractions here and there but nothing happened" "hmm..baby tak nak  keluar lagi la tu!!" then she scanned and checked my belly for baby's position "he's actually getting down there..i would say that he is at 2/5 position. it could mean hours or few days away from labor..we don't know for sure.. so we'll see you next week for your 39-week check up..unless..I don't know what daddy is going to do to mommy tonight.." she chuckled "ohh..i t...

Officially 37 weeks today And can't sleep Had "the show" started on last sunday 36 weeks 5 days, during parent in law 36 yrs anniv celeb in Tanah Aina Cafe in Shah Alam went to pcmc for check up thereafter and was told no strong contractions yet although servix appeared soft already. So we headed back home. Ok i lied i made hubs drove to Mydotty's in TTDI because i was craving for their pastries  (1 eclair for RM10 fyi baby M) They were out of croissant donuts so i bought caramel eclairs.yumms. check out Mydotty's instagram then on monday morning i went to ofc to settle some pending matters accompanied by hubs and suphie At noon just before having dimsum lunch at IOI Marriott (it was actually mr.husband's craving) more blood show came out-obviously thicker this time- checked with dr.seri and she said need to wait for established regular contractions or signs of amniotic leakage And just to note here that only with this 3rd pregnancy that i realise th...

So she was having flu, bad cough and fever on and off for 3 weeks same like her sister Hannan but yesterday she started to reject her food, her temperature soared to 39 and she was crying here and there. So we went to pcmc. Doc prescribed  suppository to suppress her temp, put her on nebulizer and instructed for blood test (the nurse had to do it twice because they couldn't get sample in the first try grr mummy only cried when i got out from ER observation ward) Then we waited for 5 hours to get to the ward as there were so many ER cases last night and most of them involved babies and the rooms were almost fully occupied. Lucky our kind doctor Dr Sahri immediately booked us one of the rooms. This morning Doc Sharmila came and checked Suphie. she told us that it's only viral infection so nothing much to be worried and make sure she consumes much fluid So day 2 at PCMC and i feel relieved that i can take care of my baby without stressing about work

the 3 weeks of running back and forth to pcmc was finally over both ummi and lil princess are now doing much better  and seeing Dr. Seri and Dr. Fauzi yesterday proved that everything's back on track, alhamdulillah baby z is also doing fine and her growth and weight is back to the average graph (I did mention that her weight was above the graph last time right?) oh yes, her head is down this time :) and I've been itching to write this since yesterday, that having to see my dearest Dr Seri gave me some sort of assurance all our questions and doubts were answered happily and sincerely maybe she naturally has that in her. Allah's great gift to a sincere wonderful gynae like her I feel more relaxed  and since yesterday, I believe I should naturally just wait for baby z to come out  in her own sweet time. in her own terms as Dr Seri pointed out yesterday, inducing should not be an option because of my previous scar God works in magical wondrous way...

Was ready to go back home today but after further analysis, Dr Fauzi said it's not possible. I'm now getting the asthma symptoms. Tightness on chest.shortness of breath.dizziness. Walking for more than 3 minutes is not a simple task right now Shortness of breath is actually normal in pregnancy, but Dr Fauzi said that my lungs are still inflammed and the airways are tight. Some ppl get this after the lung infections are gone. So here I am.Day 4 in the hosp. But hey, there's a reason for everything. Thnk u Allah. May this make me closer to You.

So I've been coughing for 3 weeks and having fever, flu, dizziness in between The 1st week:cough was very bad that it woke me (and hubby) up several times.i just couldn't sleep It came with nausea and belly cramps that I  thought I was in premature labor.of course I was panic and put hubs in panic mode as well. I was at 29 weeks Apart from that I didn't expect anything else because I thought that they are ordinary coughs that I used to have since school days I remember my  standard 3 math teacher, Mrs Tan, upon hearing my cough from the back of the classroom, said in her high pitch: "Siti, kenapa kamu batuk kung kung mcm anjing?" -_- Anyway,during my antenatal appointment with Dr Seri few days later Dr Seri suggested to me that they are not ordinary coughs. She set my appointment with Dr Fauzi from the respiratory clinic right away And from Dr Fauzi I heard the word bronchitis. He prescribed antibiotic and phensedyl and some lozenges 7 days ...

no, I don't know the answer to that. of course I can't say anyone as I only saw not more than 10 gynae in the last 6 years but I can talk about those I met and had personal experience Like Dr Onny Although I was uncomfortable to have a male gynae at first, I braved myself It turned out to be a good experience Ask him tonnes of questions He seems to be more than happy to answer and explain them with graphics and references I heard that he used to have his own specialist clinic called pusat perubatan ibukota in KL Old school, fatherly figure, sometimes can be funny without him even realizing it Very detail and careful attending his patients Make sure you remember your health record like last day period, rubella taken or not, type of blood, etc etc..before going to see him as he will ask them Dr Hamizah from LPPKN Jalan Raja Laut is an angel She's very gentle, supportive and attentive sometimes give you religious point of view on why you still...

last week was a bad one for our lil baby I noticed there were some white patches in her mouth and lips on Wednesday but I thought it was milk residue or her lips just got dry since she was also teething baby on wednesday night when the evil white patches appeared ;( I hesitated to go to the clinic because she seems to be all fine when she's with me the only different thing was she's a bit crankier she had fever but still I thought it was because she's teething and then she was not eating and crying and everything just seems wrong and my dad suggested that I bring her to clinic because he suspected those white patches are the culprit so I took emergency leave on Thursday and brought her to a clinic nearby but I was not convinced with the doctor so I called PCMC to get their opinion the next thing i know, I was already on my way to PCMC bringing lil princess baby on thursday. on our way to PCMC. I think she was having pain at that pointed area she cried s...

it was Monday night, after Maghrib when we noticed that Hannan's developing a fever so i put on her koolfever patch and hubs were trying to give her panadol syrup but the moment she tasted it she suddenly vomits everything that she had it was a lot. it can fill up a mini bucket some even went out from her nose and she was crying loud. sad. she looked as if she's in great pain ummi got panicked. ummi held her tight and cried too i didn't know what to do at that time except for bf her i just hope whatever she's feeling at that point of time would quickly go away and she would stop crying daddy looked calm i guess he was playing his calm role at that time at the clinic the nurse took her temperature - 38.5 high and the doctor did physical examination on her ear, throat, tummy, hands, feet, eyes-all seems to be ok so the doctor suggested that it may be caused by virus and should she shows any signs of flu or cough she should be brought to the clinic...

yesterday was my last follow up visit with Datuk Dr. Kuljit, ENT Specialist at Prince Court Alhamdulillah..finally my left ear is getting better..i guess the say-no-to-aircond-during-bedtime attitude and the hot weather for the past few weeks helped reduce the fungus activity.. of course I didn't tell that to my doctor.. it was only my layman logical explanation ^__^ baby and daddy accompanying patient while waiting for doc

Guess what happened? Huh? Hah? oohh.. hmmm... zzzzz..... hahah..nope..it has nothing to do with Hannan.. it's me.. since the stubborn fungus decided to reside happily in my left ear, Dr Kuljit (check out my handsome doc) suggested that I go through this 1 hour procedure where I need to go to the OT, put under sedation while doc do all the "cleaning" process. ( I'm telling you, this ear thing better take great care tau!) We arrived PCMC at 7 am and went back at 11.30 am after 2-hour observation in the day care Dr Kuljit reminded me to make sure that the ear to be super duper dry.. or.. welcome back yuckies!

What's with the ENT clinic? ermm.. I've been suffering from what I believed as ear infection for 2-3 weeks my left ear was kinda "blocked" and it was painful and itchy and attending meeting was not a good thing cos i can't hear properly and I had to sit where my right ear can hear the chairman -__- yeah, big time and so I went to hospital pakar an-nur bangi twice when the gp did "flush" on my left ear but they didn't know what was it and what caused it i was relieved after the "flush" but the pain and irritation came back after few days so i went to mediviron clinic at diplomatic enclave where the nice doctor had me referred to ENT specialist and that was the story no i didn't get any of these sleepy baby with daddy accompanying the patient And the story goes I had appointment with ENT specialist at PCMC, Datuk Dr. Kuljit Singh this afternoon since he is the only one available today He was nice and friendly, gree...

This morning Hannan was admitted to NICU. Again. Really feel bad for her. Really feel like I didn't treat her good enough. Poor baby.. Sorry Hannan, Ummi didn't know.. We are actually thankful to Iwan who noticed Hannan's conditions during hubby's friends' "surprise visit" yesterday. We were so confident of Hannan's health and condition at home that we totally forget about it. That the jaundice might come back. Because we were totally overwhelmed by her presence at home. By her cry. By her smile. And the way she behaved. She's such an angel. We totally forget about the jaundice. After Iwan and the rest left, I tried to bf her but she appeared weak. and was so deep in sleep. I cried to hubby. I panicked. We quickly called PCMC and went there straight away. I wept hearing her cried to her lungs when the nurses took her blood sample yesterday. Twice. The reading was 248. The M/O said he had discussed with Dr. Sharmila and Hannan need not be adm...

I didn’t get to hold Hannan on the first day she was born.. attached to the hospital bed in my room, i was put on drip and urine catheter and not able to move at all.. seeing Hannan’s pics in hubby’s blackberry made me so emotional.. cried so many times.. especially when I saw the video of her drinking formula.. I felt so guilty of not being able to feed her.. I only got to see her on the second day,noon.. after they removed my drip and catheter hubby pushed me on the wheelchair to the NICU and I almost cried upon seeing her (guess it’s true that they said ibu-ibu lepas bersalin ni byk hormone).. I was asked to breastfeed her.. .. felt stressed because the head nurse was watching me and everything I did seemed to be wrong.. Late Tuesday evening the lactation consultant came to give explanation and how to on bf and I cried upon unsuccessful attempts. The lactation consultant then invited hubby and I to the lactation class on Wednesday morning and I was really glad...

  it was all worth it..
