CheckUp at Klinik Kesihatan

Salam :)

Finally, I berjaya basuh baju baby. Ingatkan dah banyak baju yang I beli, rupanya tak banyak mana pun. Dalam 20 pasang ja, tupun majoriti untuk 3months and above. Untuk newborn ada la dalam 4-5 pasang. Memang kena stock up lagik. Bila basuh baru realized yang banyak lampin, receiving blanket, wash clothes dll. Paling leceh part melipat. Haha.

Tapi alhamdulillah dah setel laundry nye part, dah siap lipat. Tinggal nak beli wardrobe baru je. Amboih, barang baby semua baru eh. So, cuti khames ne boleh start packing hospital bag. Lega..

Barang-barang berpantang untuk Ummi baby lansung ape pun tak beli lagik. Boleh? Aduhaiii. Kena setel cepat-cepat ne.

Laundry baju baby : CHECKED

Back to the topic....

Emm... I pernah few times checkup at Klinik Kesihatan (KK). This story happened in Nov 2012. Lama giler baru nak cite. Mula-mula memang for the sake of nak bukak buku ja. Then, bila dia suh datang menom air gula sampai berlanjutan 5-6 checkup sebab I detected with Anemia. My lowest reading of Hemoglobin (Hb) was 9.0. The nurse insisted me to perform IBC test (Iron Binding Capacity). IBC is some kind of test to detect whether I got talasemia. U know when u got talasemia, that's why it disturb the absorption of Iron into the blood. Nampak tak kaitan dia, bila ada talasemia, body/blood susah nak.absorb iron and will lead to low Hb. My Hb reading bye history never reached 11.0, then makin turun sampai la ke 9.0. The normal Hb reading for pregnant women is 12.4.
The negative impact of low Hb, baby mungkin tak survive dalam perut (sebab Hb rendah=darah cair, so darah nak pam oksigen ke baby tak cukup) dan boleh membawa kematian pada si ibu during delivery process. And chances nak bersalin premature and czer memang tinggi. When I know it will harm the baby, I gigih la paksa diri telan kerang, paru, daging, bayam, jambu batu bagai.

I didn't continue to checkup at KK sebab dorang memang akan suka suki cakap datang esok boleh tak. Hari ne busy nak buat audit. Padahal dah call few times untuk confirm appoinment sehari sebelum. Then masa amek test darah I for MGTT (yang menom air gula tu), tak ingat pun nak buat IBC test kat I siap-siap. Time tu begelen kot darah I dorang amek. Then, bila datang untuk follow up MGTT result, dorang cakap datang next week tuesday boleh tak untuk IBC, hari tu terlupa nak buat. Sebab I pikir penting betul IBC ne, I cuti lagik halfday untuk buat test. Bila I sampai early morning at 8am, tunggu sampai 9.30am bole dorang cakap, 'sorry kak, test IBC esok la'. Damn. And it was the last time I jejak kaki ke KK. Berhabes cuti semata nak kena ikot schedule dorang aje.

Bila I pergi monthly checkup kat Pusrawi, I told my gynae about the IBC test. He then requested me to check Hb first before proceed with IBC test. Suprisingly my Hb was increased to 10.4 from 9.0. I don't know because of the sudden intake of kerang/paru/daging a week before or what. My gynae then asked me, masa kat KK dorang amek darah kat fingertips ke? YES it is. My gynae said for accurate reading, darah kena amek kat bawah celah lipatan tangan. I tend to believe my gynae. Sebab the next checkup pun my Hb naek sikit la dari 10.4 tu.

I memang dah berpatah hati berkerat rotan dengan checkup kat KK yang sesuka hati ikot time dia. Being me, memang I didnt bother to give them a call pun cakap I proceed with checkup at Pusrawi.

These few days, I keep on receiving a phone call from the same number. I memang jenis manusia yang tak angkat fon from nombor tak kenal. Sampai la they call my husband and said they are from KK and couldn't reach me. That's why they've been calling my husband. The efforts touched me. Baru je my hubs update me about the phone call, barula I angkat fon bila that number ring again. The nurse talked nicely. They were worried, sebab I senyap since November. I kan diklasifikasikan sebagai tag kuning (read:kehamilan bermasalah) due to anemia. So, dorang memang monitor closely each cases. They ols memang every month tried to call me. I felt guilty, I should give them a call. Despite of ikot timing dorang sesuka hati, dorang memang layan I baek and the checkup kat KK memang jaga kesihatan ibu yang lebih. Kalau kat swasta, more to the baby. And the nurse being so nice asking me to update them once delivered so that they can visit the baby and I. I thought they dont visit those yang datang checkup 4-5x je. Heee. So thoughtful of them. My mom slalu cakap I always think about myself. Tak pernah nak kesah kat orang sekeliling yang tak affect my life sangat pun. Im living in denial with my mom's words. Truth hurts. :(

I learnt a BIG lesson today. Im glad I realized it few days before I become a mother to my own daughter. I aint younger anymore, thus I should have not take things/people for granted, though they didn't affect my life so much. In a way, they actually contribute a little portion of shares into who I am today. :(

Thanks mak. Thanks the nurses at KK Gombak.

  4. Bole bagi correction x kak bai? IBC tu rasanya bukan for thalasemia.. Thalasemia ada test khusus lagi.. IBC tu more to nak tgk if ada anemia defisiensi besi which is normal for pregnant women yg hb dia slalo rendah but must be monitored closely like kak bai ckp tu.. Hehe.. Just bg correction so that bakal parents yg baca xde la cuak nk buat IBC takot thalasemia. But ur right, thalasemia pun ada problem with their iron sebab bentuk hb dorg xleh nak bind with the iron, so iron xdpt nk guna.. Hehehe.. Anyway kak bai, goodluck with your pregnancy n may Allah ease the delivery process! :)
