Vlogger Zeinab Harake On Emergency CS: ‘Ang Dami Kong Komplikasyon, Pati Sa Paghinga Ko’

• Every mom’s birthing story is different, and in the case of YouTuber Zeinab Harake, she had to undergo an emergency Cesarean section even after preparing for a normal delivery. The vlogger gave her followers an update just moments she would be heading to the hospital.

  “Kung napanood niyo naman dun sa ‘A Day [In The Life]’ ko, proper naman ako, okay naman, naging healthy naman ako, naging masunurin naman ako sa sinasabi ng doktor, but ayun nga, nag-end up ako sa pagiging Caesarean.”

  

  Zeinab said her doctors pushed for a C-Section because of various complications that could endanger Bia, her baby with her boyfriend, rapper Skusta Clee (aka Daryl Ruiz).

  “I did my very, very best para nga ma-experience ko yung pagiging normal, pa’no yung normal na pag-ire ‘pag labor, kaya lang nga hindi pupuwede dahil po sa mga komplikasyon. Unang-una, mababa po yung dugo ko and kinailangan pa nilang mag-ready ng dalawang bags ng dugo which is a rare blood kasi rare blood, AB positive ako.”

  “Then yung sugar ko may problema ako sa sugar. Tapos last week, nagpa-check-up ako nasa 10 pa yung tubig ko, tapos pagbalik ko the next week, sinabihan ako ng doktor na halos naubos na yung tubig ko, which is naging 6.2 na lang. So halos kalahati yung natira and sabi nila magiging kritikal yung condition ni Bia and ako ‘pag nag-five siya, kasi five daw po yung critical condition sabi ng doktor.”

  “Ang dami kong komplikasyon e pati sa paghinga ko, lahat. May acid pa ‘ko before ako nabuntis so ang dami talaga. And nung sinabi ng doktor na mahihirapan — at ang pinaka, pinakatalaga na nawindang ako — ang liit-liit lang ng tummy ko.”

  Bia was successfully born on April 28, Wednesday. An emotional Zeinab talked about the challenges so far of being a first-time mom, like how painful it is to pump her breast milk. But she says the pain is all worth it.

  “First time kong mag-pump, sobrang sakit. Pero kasi kailangan. Si Bia kasi ayaw niyang dumede sa dede ko kasi hindi [naka]labas yung nipple ko, hindi niya mahanap.

  “E nasanay siya sa bote kasi  nung time na nasa hospital ako, ayaw talagang lumabas ng gatas ko, so kinailangang ng nurse and doctors dun na padedehin siya sa bote.”

  Zeinab would keep crying while talking to the camera. “Siguro dala na lang din ‘to ng… Sabi nila ‘di ba pagkapangak talagang iyakin ka or ano may postpartum kang tinatawag.”

  She also talked about how much her C-section stitches hurt and how she’s a nervous wreck whenever Bia is out of her sight.

  “Hirap nga, ang hirap. Kahit paglalakad ko, hindi ko kaya. Tumawa nga hindi ko kaya kasi ang sakit ng tahi ko. Alam naman siguro ng mga CS mom ‘yan. So mahirap talaga siya.

  “Nilalaban ko and lalaban ako kasi meron akong happy pill na Bia. Bia’s home. Nakakapanibago lang. Mag-CR or kaya matutulog ako nalulungkot ako. Kasi kailangan nakikita ko siya lagi. Ang hirap. Bakit ganito?”
