I'm currently lying down on the hospital bed. My Hubby has just left for work after spending a night here with me (we slept on the small hospital bed together). Sound sweet eh? It does feel comforting actually to have your partner hugging you when you are in pain!
Last night was another experience for me as I was strapped on with a belt on my belly to monitor the contraction and to hear the baby's heartbeat through a CTG monitor. Then after about an hour later the nurse came in with a message, "ok ms wong, it's time to induce you"....I looked over at my husband and he was already snoring away (at this time he was sleeping on a deck chair next to me).
The nurse had to insert the medicine in with her fingers in you-know-where! Felt so violated all in one day! sigh...
I slept on...but not very well actually because I could feel the contraction once a while and it was reaaalllyyy uncomfortable!
What's next? Well...my doc will be coming in later to check on me. When is she gonna break the water? I don't know...I'm just counting down the hours now...

Dr Yap: Your blood pressure is slightly on the high side.
Please take off your pants and I will have to examine your cervix
Me: Huh? Oh..
****Dr inserted her finger into you-know-where****
Me: owww!!!
Dr Yap: Sorry.. please relax... just relax.... okay...
I can feel the head..... relax......
Me: Is the contraction 10 times worst than this feeling???
(silly question but it was rather painful to be honest when she poked me)
Dr Yap: Cindy... guess what? You will have a 20.10.2010 baby!
I will have to check you in tonight midnight and will have to induce you.... break your water
....... (everything goes blurry now... I can't remember her other sentences....)
Me: Huh?? What?? Doc? Tomorrow?? TOMORROW????????????
Dr Yap: Yes Cindy. Your blood pressure is rather on the high side,
we do not want any complication if you are to wait any longer....
Me: OMGGGGGG!!

False Contraction
Anxiety and panic kicked in last night albeit my constant researching and reading tons of articles on pre-term labour signs and how a contraction would feel like. It started off on Saturday morning where I had stomach cramps and I went on to answer the call of nature. It happened again in the late afternoon, and again I visited the toilet. Last night, I had the worst cramp of all, not just any cramps but cramps that made me wanna vomit and I suffered a mild case of diarrhea! My stomach contracted tightly and I had to lie down, waiting for the motion to pass on.... and thank God it did after 15minutes.
It was a false alarm. But during the time I was in pain, calls were made to my friends, my boss, my mother to ask - "how would you know if you are going into early labour?" I am in my 32 weeks now and I read and was told on the possibility of having preterm labour anytime! The only comforting part whilst I was sweating in discomfort was that my hubby was at my side caressing me and when I asked him, "what if the baby decides to come out early?" and to my relieve, his face lit up and excitedly he said, "good! why not?"
I'll be going over to see my gynae later but I do have a feeling that its only a normal case of abdominal pain and the little munchkin is still not ready to say hello to the world......yet.

Week 30
2 posts in a row for this week - just for my ardent readers/ followers. =)
The earlier one was about my overly promoted butter chicken dish. But of course, some of you would want to know how I am coping with my pregnancy and all.... well, for one, I'm in my Week 30! 10 more weeks to go before I cry in labour pain? Exciting or scaaaryy? Take a guess.
My tummy is getting bigger and bigger and that is what everyone seems to be telling me. Its like an overnight balloon. One thing for sure, they told me it will get even bigger in my 8th month!! This morning as I looked into the mirror, I realized how fat I looked. Not just looking fat, I feel fat too. Sigh. Well, thank goodness for my hubby who constantly tell me how beautiful I look and his constant touch on my tummy (besides the occasional jabbing and rocking my tummy just to intentionally make the baby kick inside in retaliation) I would have been in distress - psychologically. Looking at the yoga pamphlets that comes to my possession seems tempting and I've made up my mind to sign up for it as soon as I've delivered! - if that's possible.
Like any maternity/ nesting instinct, I willl be packing my bags soon - who knows the baby might decide to say hello to this world earlier than scheduled? Will see how it goes... as my doc told me from this month onwards, I will be seeing her every fortnight now instead of the usual monthly check-ups. Time is getting nearer and nearer... I could just feel it...
