The ever long awaited labour story. Summarized. Well, I try to.
18 May 2013
On this day, we, the husband and I, went to our new abode intending to clean it one last time before our furniture arrives. Aside from being a total bloated penguin, I could not bare to see the husband doing all the cleaning while I lean and supervise. Thus, I just helped with mopping our master bedroom. Assure you, that was all that I did (for our house).
Sidetrack: Earlier on, I just cleaned the toilet at my in-law's place. Of course, I was nagged at but I could not care much cause I guess the 'nesting' instinct is kicking in.
After cleaning, we head out to fetch FIL back from work. Upon reaching my in-law's place, I tried walking but felt my pelvic region so tight and that if I were to take another step, something might snap (or so I thought). No pain, nothing, just tightness.
I tried to hold my position for awhile but it was so awkward. Though at midnight, no one will be walking around and sorts but to have your spouse waiting for you to walk & let's be factual, how long are you gonna stand there and hold, right? So I took a step. And I felt water trickling down my legs and the "tightness" was gone. I used my fingers to check if it was blood & was assured that it was a clear fluid.
At this point of time, I wasn't in panic but the husband was. He knocked on my SIL's bedroom (who was asleep already by the way) and started asking her questions. I was given a bottle of air Zam Zam by FIL. The husband & SIL both seated in the living room talking about what to do next. SIL wasn't sure but she shared that her waterbag broke twice and only then she headed to the hospital. I wasn't in pain, let me remind you. We talked and listen to her labour experience & that's when I felt like I need to rush to the toilet.
Before I could remove my pants, water gushed out. Scary. My legs were shaking trying to adapt to what just happened. Finally calmed down, cleaned and changed. Told them what happened & I started to feel contractions streaming in irregularly. So instead of sitting down and talk, I was pacing about to ease the pain. That was finally when SIL said we should go to the hospital since I was already pacing and feeling contractions.

Okay, let me rest here for awhile on the labour experience.
Next entry shall be the continuance.
Love to keep you hanging. Muack muack.
