What do i learn with Aleesa as a baby? 1st baby.

That you need to be alert. Alert on her cues, Movement means hungry or something is wrong. To change diapers every 2 hours and feed after.  Don't be stingy on diapers or lazy. Coz as a mother once you see’s the rashes the baby will have due to your stinginess or laziness it break your heart and you start to blame yourself. And not to forget feed the baby. Don't wait until the baby ask u to feed her, because if you do that is when you will encounter a "Hangry baby" simply because they are hungry and angry. At least try. Yes. there will be a day that the baby will be overfeed and the baby will throw up and you start to feel like should I still feed the baby? Yes! Feed her! She smart. She’ll learn when to stop. You, stop worrying so much. You done your best. Try to do everything in sequence or consistence. So she know her cues. For example, take a shower at 8am and 5pm everyday. After diaper changing will follow with feeding. Last feeding at 12am and next wakeup time is at 8am. Try your best to interact with her more in the morning or before night time. Talk to her. in your language or simply hers. You be surprise that she understand you. Night time less interact more sleep mood. Don't feel bad if u need to leave your baby. Your “me time” matter too! And that does not make you a bad mom. Swaddle is good for long sleep. Tummy time is important for exercising. No stoking and mitten. Let her feels her surroundings (atleast for one month old). Trust. Honestly, it was so hard to let go. You feel like you the only person that can protect the baby, you the only person that understand her. Try to let go. One step at a time. Let your husband help you or simply ask him to help you. Besides you deserve to have a break. Let him learn to how to take care of the baby. It is his baby too. "Teamwork make the dreamwork" . Don't bother with all that negative talk. You do you. You doing great! #patsontheback. Stop stressing and enjoy your time with her.


Wrote this when Aleesa just turn 3 months. Still learning. Everyday is a learning day. Do remember all baby is different and very unique, you be amaze how many things you'll learn from them.

Postpartum

After birth, there’s this mix feeling keep bothering me. The facts that i need to accept my life change 360. Before labour i got to spend 24/7 with my husband due to MCO. We got to go breakfast together (my most favourite time to date), hangout in the same room. Talk. As u get older, u started to appreciate this little things and even crave for it. After labour, life change. You don't get to go breakfast anymore, because of the baby. Too risky to go out in this pandemic. Less time spending together because of the pandemic and baby and not to mention the tiredness of taking care of your newborn. No more quality sleep. No more eating in peace. No more me time and time with husband.  Above all that, what i was concerned about was will my husband look me the same way. Will he still think im pretty? Hot? All 11years together he only said once that im pretty. I mean i should not be bother. But i did at that time. I feel so ugly because of the tiredness. The trying to adjust to everything...

Why caesarean?

At 22weeks, did an ultrasound and the baby head is a bit big. I was asked to take the sugar drink to check my sugar level. At 37weeks, i undergo ECV where the doctor at hukm push the baby head into head-down position. Coz at that time the baby is still head-up position or breech, i was given an option to either do ECV, caesarean or baby come out bum 1st. Baby come out bum 1st was never an option for the doc, we the doctor advice too risky. Honestly, I already make up my mind to just accept caesarean as an option. But the doctor insisted to do ECV coz of my age, the position of the baby and etc. She so insisted that she even left me speechless and just agreed to do ECV. The ECV was successful.  On the 1/7/2020 blood come out. My sister advised to wait for a contraction every 5minutes. Around 4am i experience stomach pain, the kind of pain that I just can’t handle and cant really sleep. So I decided to go the the hospital, the doc in charge at that time, checked and said it only open...
