Melur Maira Mohammad Shafiz.

Alhamdullillah. Melur Maira has finally arrived into this world safely and healthily on 31st October 2012 at UMSC. It was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever felt having my baby girl naturally despite my fear of childbirth and labour. I have supportive family, friends and gynae and nurses. I can never thank them enough for everything.

I can't really describe my labour experience and I am so grateful that I didn't have to suffer long hours of pain and agony prior to childbirth. Again, Alhamdullillah it was a swift delivery for me although Melur Maira had poo-ed inside me just like her elder sister Chempaka Naura. Fortunately, my contractions were so close apart and I just needed to push her out and voila, Melur Maira was out in no time.

I won't write much here as I'll allow the photos to do all the talking about one of the most eventful days of my life. Do enjoy it!

Checked-in at UMSC@9.40am. Having contractions, 5 minutes apart. Trying to act cool by smiling in between contractions. Haha!

 

One shot of us before my gynae comes in. Still in pain but in control.

Shortly after Melur Maira was born. It was a sign of relief and happiness. Can't believe that I had her naturally, Alhamdullilah.

P/S- I know my Mama is smiling somewhere seeing all these. I hope she's happy to see Melur Maira and me. I really understand even better now why 'Syurga Terletak Di Bawah Tapak Kaki Ibu'. I'm a proud Mama of both my girls and I know I have made my Mama proud of me. Al-Fatihah to Mama.
