False Labour

I thought it would only happen to first time mothers and that I won't be fooled by my own body as this is my 4th pregnancy. How totally wrong I was. On Sunday evening, I dragged myself and hubby to the hospital because I was having terrible contraction from morning. I also had diarrrhea like symptoms in the morning.

When we reach the hospital the contraction is already 9 mins apart and by the second hour 5 mins apart. However, cervics only open 1cm then 2cm, then stopped progressing anywhere. Then by midnight contraction getting further apart that I even enjoyed watching German Vs England world cup match - despite being sleepy from tiredness due to the pain.

In fact, that night was supposed to be my mom's 40th day memorial service. I so wanted to go but hubby said better err on the side of caution better go to the hospital and get checked rather than regret later. Prior to this, during the 38wks review the doctor already caution us to come if anything happen. He told us he just did emergency ceasarian due to baby not moving for 2 days but mother take it lightly and only come to see him on the second day. When he delivered the baby is already blue and not breathing. Huh... that made me and hubby worried. Now if baby did not move I would poke my tummy just to see him move.

Anyway, I'm still around with my very pregnant belly. Walking like penguin now. Doctor also advise me to go for a walk. Haha... maybe I should do that. I've been delaying the walking exercise as I wanted to wait until the 4oth day memorial service done but I missed it anyway. I feel sad but sis told me all went well. A lot of relatives attended the service and the food was more than enough. So with everything is over now, I can concentrate on labour, baby and my own stuff.
