ok, moving on from the too-hot forum…
yesterday, i started getting a little nervy after SO MANY people kept insisting i could give birth anytime, and i think it psychologically affected me coz when i was driving home, i almost felt these phantom ‘tingles’ around my waist like the onset of contractions (which turned out to be just a full bladder after all).
so last night, i thought i’d better get down to the task of packing The Bag. grrr.
(bag pon nak colour coordinate eh.)
the stash includes:
- a change of blouse and underthang (speaking of which, i just dug up my entire collection of nursing bras, last worn a whole year ago, mostly stained, stretched, and SUNGGUH tak stim),
- basic toiletries (cannot live without my proactiv cleanser ok),
- glasses and contact lens container/solution (coz i is rabun as a bat),
- mobile charger (wait my handphone battery die, how to sms you all, right?? :p),
- camera (to take pictures of EVERY SINGLE THING of course, in typical blogger mode),
- basic makeup (ya laaah, i very hiao one, what),
- my W&F organiser (to, ahem, ‘work’ while waiting in the delivery room – feeling busy businesswoman liddat lah, like reaaaal only),
- my minyak makan to gulp down before delivery (don’t ask!)…
and hmm, i know i’m missing something.
i think, socks. yeah, will need those. maybe two pairs, coz the last time when my waterbag literally exploded, the only pair i was wearing got drenched and izad had to sacrifice his.
hmm, what else.. i guess all the receipts from my visits to the doctor, for reimbursement purposes.
and rini, pls find those leftover maternity pads and breast pads you said you’d give me. you think those have expiry dates? sekali i wear, then they disintegrate or i start scratching up there and down there, how??
ok, so i will now be lugging these EVERYWHERE i go – to the office, to the shops, to the toilet… everywhere lah.
****
OH CRAP.
i forgot the most important thing…
BABY’S CLOTHES LAH DEY!

hahaha..Hana I read this post and I dreamt of both of us in the labour ward last night. You dah beranak, I tak terberanak2 lagi. Lepak seh.
should i start packing my bag too?! lol. hey, maternity cake sounds like a good idea!!!
hi hana,
nice meeting you the other day to collect the sweet pea cake. sorry, I arrived a little early….sempat pulak check out your neighbourhood surroundings..we’ve never been to that part of Tampines( kite ni orang west :-P), selalu pegi pun Tampines mall or blk 2++ area.
my fren gave birth to her twins this morning. will be visiting her later, i’m sure she’ll love the cake. insya-allah, might order another cake from you for another friend but she’s in Sydney now, maybe when she comes back to SG.
thanks for yours & rini’s effort … and good luck for your impending labour. so many ppl giving birth, best eh mcm nak beranak lagik but 2 (a 4yr boy & a 2yr gal) at the moment is more than a handful :-P
Oi bag cantik ahh..! I copy u can..? I oso want..! I need a new bag..! Cheap cheap coz I no money even after getting bonus..! Bah..! Diaper bag tak semestinya pakai for diapers kan..? Hur hur. Takpe I cari in ebay..
eh, you said you’ll get me the same bag but in turqoise! hehe!!! i is like that bag very the much ley…
hullo,
hope u have a smooth delivery. Amin.
remember to baca selawat nabi and there are some other surah you should recite too, such as:
1. Surah Al-Anbiyak: ayat 87 — “LAA ILA HA ILLA ANTA SUBHANAKA INNI KUNTU MINAZ DZALIMIIN”….(i will find out the exact meaning for you, insya-allah) btw, this is also the surah that Nabi Yunos read when he was trapped inside Ikan Nun.
(you can also read this doa during “kesusahan”, not just during pregnancy.)
2. Surah Al-Qursi
3. Surah Al-Falaq
4. Surah An-Nas
I recite them when i was having contractions; insya-allah you’ll be ok.
aaah, kalau nak dapat anak jambu, you can recite Surah Maryam. :D
yeahh nur!! i always pass by that shop and remember, but waiting nearer to april for your bday.. ;)
alamak, now u know the price. u want it in pink? hehee.
aznor, that’s not even a diaper bag lah. dah pandai oredi, any bags will do.
tapi kalau hasbern nak belikan kate spade satu ke, orait jugak. heee.
eh, but u dun copy hor… ;p
hi linda!! so nice to meet u too… glad i bumped into u at the carpark. and wow, the twins came just in time!! hope the mummy likes the cake too. show us some pics of the babies ok! and oh my, 2yo and 4yo, that IS a handful… no wonder u so skinny! :)
diah, u sure u want a maternity pad cake? tak sanggup nak bukak pad satu satu bila dah meleleh gitu ok. eewww.
tasyah, i think you’ve been reading this blog too much, lol!
ok janna, email coming up! and no problem, link away… :)
wati, girls pakai blue takpe! boys pakai pink ada sikit hmmm tak macho?… hehe.
dirah, u excited? nak give birth on my behalf? pls silakan! :D
ayu, bukan kaya lahh… kayap!! takpe takpe, i think of it as an investment beb. must be fair to both kids mah.
kalau tak cukup duit, i take over SimplyCupcakes ah. orait?? :p
heriati, what diaper bag did u see? eh tunggu apa, BELI jer lahh! splurge a little on yourself, contribute to the economy sikit before contributing back to the workforce. :D
liz, hmm, nursing bras ehh… once again, sungguh tak stim!
yanty, mcm reality tv gitu eh! nak podcast sekali tak?? :p
ju_ju! you also use proactiv?? i’ve been using for ages too! lain sumer tak jalan, that’s the only thing i’m dependent on! it works hor!
tx misa, i was just asking kak M the other day abt this too…
ps: how is your kaki?? missed you that day…
NO PINK!!! hmph! :(
turqoise please!!! yay!!! i am getting the bag for my bday! was about to suggest to you actually… heh!!! tapi you crever!
Hana.. my turn will come soon in august. hee tak pe.. kasi you chance dulu
Wah….. so exciting… bag already packed…now left to wait…all the best for your delivery..2nd one insyaAllah easier… :)
i haven pack mine!!!!! wahah…tapi baby dah !! in a new pink bag muahahahah..
i have no tanda yet .. but i always beri2 la ahha
i must remember to include the ayat2..etc.etc!
you’ll do fine arh! insyaallah!
it’s time? yeay! givebirthgivebirthgivebirth!
i see ur stomach macam dah terover masak! kehkeh.
but eh, this time round macam so fast passed by ah. so fast u nearly 10mths hor.
my bf and i saw u at TM yesterday. he remarked about how bulat ur tummy was and that u must be having twins. he couldn’t believe when i told him u were gg to have just one baby girl. hehe! have a safe delivery! insya’allah!
Hana, i pray that you will have a smooth delivery…insyaallah
btw the Surah Al-Anbiyak and Surah Al-Qursi as stated above really works well for me…never stop uttering them the moment my waterbag burst for all my 3 kids and Alhamdulillah…all natural and epidural free! :)
hey kak hana, wishing u a fine and smooth delivery. boy ke girl???
my mum-in-law pun nasihatkan that time tu baca banyak2 selawat and recite “Ya Allah…” continuously. When my contractions got really bad and i couldn’t recite the long surahs, i resorted to repeatedly recite “Ya Allah…”
Insya-allah, it will be a smooth delivery :)
you also use pro-activ? wah lao..you copy jeniffer love hewitt and jessica simpson, u noe?!
yaa, i oso copy pakai tiffany bracelet from reese witherspoon in Legally Blonde, you know! so tak original! ;p
hey, thanks mahd, mima and lihah for your words of encouragement… :)
hi nurul… ouh, tak tau eh? *looks at diaper cake*

hullo,
as promised earlier, the meaning of Surah Al-Anbiyak: ayat 87 is,
“Tiada Tuhan yang disembah melainkan Engkau (Allah), maha Suci Engkau Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku termasuk di kalangan orang-orang yang zalim.”
