THE BIRTH OF MOHAMED HILMAN ASHRAF

Hilman was born on the 04th April 2005,  09:33 am at Hospital USM Kubang Kerian Kelantan.
He was found to be in footling breech position during antenatal check-up,therefore, he couldnot be delivered via normal delivery. I have to undergo similar operation as for his sister, Hilmiyyah. However, this operation was performed electively by the same obstetrician. During the operation, his umbilical cord was found to wind around his neck 3 times. Fortunately, he was delivered out safely with birth weight of 2.99 kg. 

HILMIYYAH

Our first baby was born on 23rd July 2003,  03:13 pm at Hospital USM Kubang Kerian, Kelantan.
The baby was delivered through an operation;caesarian section after having sudden pre-eclampsia at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Actually, I have symptoms such as giddiness,nausea and headache one day before though my blood pressure checked at the casualty was only marginally raised. Even though my hubby is a doctor, he did not realize that actually I was having pre-eclampsia. I was admitted to the labour room after consulting Dr Nik Hazlina(now Assoc.Prof). Medication was given continuosly through a running drip. A doppler ultrasound performed showing markedly reduce blood flow to the baby, therefore, a decision to operate on me urgently was made to save the baby. Anaesthetic drug was given via an injection into my spine. No wonder the blood flow to the baby was limited as there was 3- times umbilical cord round neck. Fortunately, Hilmiyyah was still okay. Since she was born prematurely, her weight was only 1.8kg.
