Review breastpump autumnz serene

Yea!ayden dah 2 bulan lebih dah. 74 hari to be exact. Which means mama dah start kerja balik dah. Boohoo. But actually not too bad this time around. Cause i had a really bad time during confinement, didnt enjoy it sgt and hence ok jelah nak pergi kerja. Part yang tak best adalah mcm rindu sket kat ayden. Tapi taklah teruk sgt. Ok je alhamdulillah. Tapi balik kena on time lah. No more stayback sampai malam. Hehe.

So start keje means start pumping waktu siang kaw2 la kan. So seminggu sebelum start kerja tu dok fikir yg tmpt luka caesar tu still sakit2 lagi, doktor pun kata jgn angkat berat2. Jadi terfikir la malas nak hangkut freestyle ke hulu ke hilir rumah - opis on daily basis. Means nak cuba kurangkan berat beg bila ulang alik dari rumah ke opis. So start la fikir nak beli satu pam baru yg bagus tapi murah (tak mampu nak beli freestyle dah) utk letak kat opis je. So that hari2 just transport back susu n ice jelah.

Search punya search apparently byk org kata spectra m3 n spectra 9 plus sgt bagus. So teruja gila dok survey2 n mcm best je m3. Tapi still takut tak masuk pulak dgn pump tu. Sbb masa aqeef dulu first time pakai pump spectra 3, every time pump sgt sakit!T-T still ingat lagi kesakitan tu. Made me stop breastfeeding all together kot. Nasib masa adam beli medela dah, baru ok. Alhamdulillah.

So due to that reason jadi takut nak beli before try. So off i went to pump on the go kat kelana jaya a few days before start kerja utk try spektra m3 ngan 9 plus. Excited nak beli spectra nih. Pastu sampai kat pump on the go tuh try2 spectra susu tak keluar pulak. Keluarlah tapi sikit jelah.Tapi takde lah sakit. Ok je. Pastu tak puas hati kenapa susu tak keluar, tanya adik tu pump mana yg menyerupai freestyle, dia pun kata autumnz serene. Pastu dia kasi try. First impression, actually tak suka rupa dia. Mcm mainan yg tak best. Tapi murah sket dari spectra m3 and murah byk dari spectra 9 plus.

Pastu try pump la kan. Ek eh byk pulak susu keluar memancut2. And sgt sesuai dgn diri sendiri. Tak sakit n dia ada 3 types of suction mode. 2 sama dgn freestyle plus additional one more mode. Menarik sgt.Haha. Adoi. So mula lah survey online dan2 tu nak tgk ada bad review tak, any downside of the pump yg tak best ke kan. Sekali takde plis. Apparently its a new pump and takde review pape pun. Adoi. Haha. Saya ni dahlah jenis tak suka beli brg takde review.

Tapi seriously autumnz ni best gila. Menepati lah kebanyakan kriteria saya. Murah (rm469 je!), pump yg sgt senyap (org kat ofis pun tak dgr bila mengepam n definitely senyap dari freestyle n m3 tu), ada 3 mode suction yg boleh kosongkan breast dgn efficient plus dia ringan gila and comel. Hehe. I still dont quite like the colour tapi ok jelah. Can accept. Masa beli tu mcm ragu2 jugak. Tapi sbb sesuai sgt dgn breast sendiri kan, tawakkal jelah beli. Huhu.

Tapi masa tgh cuba pump tu ada another lady tgk susu keluar byk bila saya pump dgn autumnz serene ni kan, dia pun try la jugak. Sekali tu dia kata sakit bila dia pakai. So maksudnya lain org lain perasaan utk setiap pump ya. Maksudnya before beli pump mmg better to try la kan. Mana yg sesuai dgn kita. For me autumnz serene ni adalah my soulmate pump lah. Gitu.. haha.

And lepas dah pakai 2 minggu bekerja, i love love love it so much! Mmg sgt senang kosongkan breast. Tiap kali mengepam pun dia sgt efficient n dpt keluarkan ebm yg sama byk setiap kali even bila tgh busy gila n stress gila kat office tu. Alhamdulillah..

But i still use freestyle kat rumah bila tandem nursing dgn ayden. Sbb pump serene ni tinggal kat office je. So all in all, its a good buy la, alhamdulillah. A pump worth trying, senang convert dari freestyle ke serene ni.

Pantang 3.0

Haha. Pantang the third time. No joke man. I have always dreaded being in pantang despite the appealing 2 months maternity leave. Every pantang comes with different challenges and the third one is the worst. Huhu, but alhamdulillah i have survived it and today is the 47th day post partum. Yea!!! Yesterday we went out to see my gynae dr siti in salam and yea, no more blood clots, uterus has gone back to its normal shape and place, and the dr has given us the green light to actually be together again. Eh. No no that one needs to wait until 100 days. Kahkah. She wanted to inject me with something to prevent pregnancy - epo something,  i cant remember the name. But since it will last only three months we figured better to wait until pantang 100 hari habis kan. :p

Aaah, so after our final check up (dr siti and kak seri was so happy to finally discharge us, no more appoinments!woohoo!love them, very motherly and kind, genuinely worried when i was not recovering well after the delivery) we went to setia city mall to have our celebratory lunch at tony romas. I said we cause syafik had also survived my notorious pantang. Ok he survived the not so fun and emotional me during pantang. Haha. Seriously kudos to him for enduring my pantang days. May Allah grant u jannah ya sayang. And back to the story, so we went to tony romas, i brought a good deal from groupon rm40 bucks for a set of meal that consist of ribs, roasted chicken, 2 side dishes, soup and drinks. A steal, right?and i added on the kicking shrimp and shared all of it. First time going out of tony romas without leftovers. Haha. Habis licin. And what i want to share here is, lepas makan shrimp luka caesar gatal2. Haha padan muka. Dah tau allergic udang tak sabar2 nak makan udang lepas pantang. So this serves as a reminder ok nordina. Jgn makan udang cpt sgt lepas pantang. Nasib baik kejap je gatal2, malam dah hilang dah. Pheww. And we went around setia city mall saja senaman. Hehe. And after that went to little whiz as they are moving out to a new shop and they had clearance sale. Since aqeef and adam are sleeping in their own room we got a baby monitoring to monitor them in case they wake up in the middle of the night kan. Ok lah. Dpt murah due to the clearance sale. Yea. And after that went to citta mall beli wondermilk! Ahaha. Byk betul mengidam lepas pantang. So ayden byk berjalan hari ni ya. And dia punya penat, malam tadi tido nyenyak alhamdulilllah. Yea. Ke sbb kekenyangan makan ribs jugak dgn mama. Hehe. Selalu makan lauk pantang je ikan singgang dgn sawi celur campur lobak putih kan. Hihi.

Ok habis cerita celebrate pantang. So back to pantang story. So i was admitted after the 10th day of pantang kan. And after being discharged dr siti asked me to come again 5 days after that to see how i was doing, so on the 17th day i went to see her again. I was feeling fine at the time with bearable pain but surprisingly she mentioned that i had a big blood clot in my uterus! Like very big, the size of a football!(ok i'm exagerrating kot, but its big la). Muka dia risau siap panggil kak seri utk check out the clots. Adoi. So she was so worried, wanted to give me some medicine to contract my uterus so that the blood clots can be forced to come out but worried that my csec wound will be affected. She wanted to scrape out the clot manually but it would be too painful for me. Huwaa. Of course i rejected la kan. And finally she said, "cuba tungku dulu. After one week kalau tak keluar jugak we'll see how". Ok cuak tak? After asking kak seri how to tungku and so on we went out of the hospital and i was so scared. Thats it about being in pantang i often feel so scared and paranoid, so emotional to the point of not thinking clearly. So not me. Benci. Thankfully hubby was calm and we stopped by at marissa shoppe on the way back  to get the tungku besi and herbal cover. And alhamdulillah for that, sgt bagus ok. Higly recommended. Senang nak panaskan and easy to be used. All for around rm60 je kot.

And so for one week, saya bertungku perut siang dan malam. Eh taklah. At least 2 times lepas mandi pagi and ptg for at least 30 minutes. Sedap bertungku ni sebenarnya. Angin semua keluar and blood clots pun keluar. And since i was desperate to expel the clots out, i googled A LOT on how to make blood clots come out faster. I tried to put minyak panas (syafik punya krim mustajab halia tu best. Panas gila) and pakai bengkung, pastu on the 20th day lepas pakai minyak panas and bengkung tu, start rengat2, and dari google diorang ckp utk hilangkan rengat minum kopi panas. So i did and start pukul tiga petang start sakit perut gila2 mcm nak beranak punya contraction. Mcm senggugut sakit gila! Berpeluh2 rasa nak pengsan sampai pukul 4 pagi. Mmg tak tidur malam, berpeluh2 tahan sakit. Nangis2 bagai. Oh man, my stomach hurts just writing about it. Serious sakit weh tak tipu. But alhamdulillah at 4am, 4 blood clots the size of my fist came out like a baby and alhamdulillah the pain just went away. Lepas darah beku keluar tu terus lega. Pheww.. i think the coffee yg trigger dia nak keluar kot. Sbb tu orang tua2 kata dlm pantang elok minum kopi panas kot kan. Sbb boleh elak darah beku and keluarkan saki baki darah beku kot. But in my case, darah beku tu sebab trauma kena henjut dgn adam T-T. Lepas beranak tak sepatutnya ada darah beku besar penumbuk sampai 4. Adoi.

Tapi lepas keluar darah beku, bleeding byk pulak, sekali dgn sakit perut belah kanan. sebelum tu sikit2 je bleeding. I remember it was syafik's birthday 21 days postpartum and he took leave to see dr siti again. Pheww. And alhamdulillah uterus is clear of blood clots but they found a cyst on my right ovary pulak. Thats what causing then pain on my right stomach. Adoi. A 5cm cyst and i was shocked again. But the dr siti gave daisy based supplement that was to be taken orally 3 times a day for a month and after a month she'll measure again whether or not the cyst needs to be surgically removed. She also said to not consume chicken T-T. Nangis la.

Of course being a paranoid pantang lady i googled and studied about cyst. (I remember typing "possibility of dying from cyst" haha.sekarang gelak la). And the main reasons of cysts are abnormal hormon change (its very common for pregnant woman to have cyst actually, i had one when i was pregnant with aqeef and it was removed during csec), obesity, pesticide, and so on. So thats why the dr asked me not to take chicken. Sbb ayam byk sgt hormon pelik pembesaran pantas sgt bagai kan. So i stopped taking chicken and strictly controlled my diet for a month( sblm tu main2 jugak. Makan ayam jugak sbb nak sumber protein kan) and alhamdulillah, the cyst shrunk to normal size after a month and i lost 17kg after 44 days of pantang. Yea! I gained 16kg during pregnancy and lost 17kg postpartum. See how chicken can affect your weight. Now to keep on losing or at least maintaining the weight. That is the challenge.

Anyhow alhamdulillah for everything. My point of this story is to remind me that there is rainbow after every storm inshaAllah. Though it was hard for me to picture the rainbow during the confinement (trust me, i was really messed up. So hormonal it made my head haywire like crazy couldnt even psyched myself to calm down and think properly), alhamdulillah it has ended. And the best part of going through a hard time is, everything else after that seems simple and manageable hehe. And even though i still have minor pains here and there (i have the common throbing post csec pain now and then - which i didnt get for  the first two operation. Every csec is different i guess) but its nothing compared to the pain when the blood clots came out. Huhu. So, i am thankful. Hehe.

I think thats about it kot. My 3rd pantang story. The last one, hopefully?muahahaha.

Welcoming Muhammad Ayden Dzakwan

Happy new year! New year with a new baby alhamdulillah. I have safely delivered a baby boy on the 13th of january and on the 7th day we named him muhammad ayden dzakwan bin mohd syafik azrir. 2.7kg and he was born 3 weeks earlier than his supposedly 2nd feb due date. But alhamdulillah all is well.

Now going through confinement and its my 13th day inshaAllah. On the 10th day of confinement, i went to the hospital for ayden's 1 week check up and my check up with dr siti the gynae. After coming back home, at 9pm i had severe bleeding, like 3 full pads within 15 minutes. And a few minutes later i felt severe stomach cramp. Oh man it was so painful that i cried and my mom told us to go to the hospital immediately. So hubby brought me to the hospital and along the way, i nearly fainted out of pain. It was that painful.

And i remember i kept saying to hubs while crying"ki, kalau apa2 jadi kat saya, tlg jaga anak2 ya.. " and hubby kept replying "sabar, kita nak sampai hospital dah" huhu intense sungguh. I can be so dramatic sometimes. Tapi mmg sakit gila ok, and rasa darah mengalir mcm paip. Reached the hospital drenched in blood and they immediately put me on drip and took my blood to prepare for blood transfusion. Begitu byknya darah. And when they took my blood pressure, it was spiking high and apparently that means that i was in a lot of pain and they instantly gave me painkillers. But i could still feel the pain and kept cringing and crying while hubby held my hand tightly.

And after they consulted my gynae, i had to be admitted for observation until my bleeding stops. So i had to stay for 2 nights and they gave me medicine to stop the bleeding,  antibiotics to cover any possible infection, some to contract my uterus and of course lots and lots of painkillers. And after scanning my stomach they found lots of blood clots which mean saya bentan. Haha tak tahu bentan in english tu apa. And it could be due to excessive movement in the hospital and possibly because as i was resting after coming back from the hospital adam sat on my stomach and henjut2 T-T. Possibly my uterus was shocked with the henjut2. Adoi.

So yesterday we were discharged. And oh ayden was admitted too due to jaundice on saturday jadi berkampung lah kami di hospital. But alhamdulillah his jaundice level went down very fast and he was discharged after only a night together with me after my second night in the hospital.

And after the incident i am traumatized about being bentan again. Sakit ok. Skrg sgt cautious bila adam dtg dekat, kaki tersadung pape, makan semua jaga and stokin mmg tak lekang kat kaki. Huhu dah kena baru nak beringat. Kalau tak, lepas keluar tandas lupa nak pakai stokin la. Huhu. Hopefully i will regain my strength back inshaAllah. Sbb kesian anak2 mak dia tak sihat kan.

Skrg marilah berpantang dgn baik ya. Please pray for me ya 😊 in the mean time, here are some photos of baby ayden for my keepsake. Kadang2 handphone rosak la hilang la, kena refer blog jugak. Baiklah siap2 post precious gambar dia kat sini. Hihi.
