i woke up feeling so heavy, like i will be having my menstruation tomorrow. tinatamad nga ako pumasok but i have to drag myself up so as not to waste my maternity leave days. the day at the office was so long. i had to finish all my backlogs and felt i needed to write the endorsement list for Silvia and Sree. Silvia even commented why i had to make the list so early. sabi ko, just in case lang naman i give birth early (*winks*). finally, 4PM came and it was time to go home.
it was 6 PM when me and my sister agreed to take a stroll down Hamdan Street, gold souq area. i first felt some pain when we reached near the Bhs building, that i had to stop for awhile and rest. we were able to reach the gold souq chain and browsed store after store. i noticed that the pain interval became every 15 minutes, however i was not sure if it was the labor contraction already. sabi nila, your instinct will tell you that it was. in my case, my instinct's not good enough. i was in doubt because i can tolerate the pain since it was just like having a dysmenorrhea, which i am so accustommed to bear. when the pain interval increased to every 10 minutes, my sister convinced me to stop gold browsing and go home. =)
we reached the house sometime past 8 PM. we had our dinner, bathe and get dressed for hospital. habang pinakikiramdaman ko ang intensity and interval of pain, hubby came home around 9 PM. around 10 PM and we call it quits waiting for the big day when the pain gradually diminished. we unpacked and get ready for bed instead. anyway, my sister assured me that if ever i will indeed have labor contractions, i will wake up for sure no matter how deep in sleep i am.
