Flash-back

Starting to feel cramps and pointed object poking me from below hehe. Ya that’s the feeling I first felt same time/date last year…I freeze and panic each time I feel the pain. Is it now? Are you coming out now? Those are my first reaction. Then the pain goes away. Phew! Few hours later it happens again. Gosh! Must consult my personal advisor (proven record advisor ok – mother of 3!), none other than my stupid gong Sis.

I call her and ask how the pain will be like. This was our conversation;

Me: Oi. I get cramps and sharp pain poking me at that place ar…dah time eh?
Sis: how is the pain? Very painful or just sudden few sec pain?
Me: hhmm…pain is pain la dol…rubbish!
Sis: Kong ajar! Aku Tanya betul la! Whats the frequency of the attack?
Me: hhmm…I had one this morning then few hours later.
Sis: Aiyah not yet la…if the pain is too frequent like every few minutes or hours than call your gynae.
Me: ooohhh…eehh…hhmm so false alarm ar nie? Siol ar…very poking pain seh …hehe

So I took her advice and time how frequent and how long the pain is. I decided not to walk so much now. I should have bed-rest hehe. I look at my progression card my EDD is 4th June. Its only 15th May now. Budak ni tak sabar2 nak tengok dunia ker? Hhmm. False Alarm la. Must be. I rub my tummy and gently tell him; “please be patient ok. You will get to see the world soon. Dun worry. But for now…diam2 kat dalam. Dun give me surprises or pain attack again sayang”.

No more pain for the rest of the afternoon…..i thought. Then at night, the poking pain starts again. Papayaface ask me to consult our gynae but I feel paiseh la to call at night. “I’ll call him tomorrow first thing in morning ok” I assure papayaface. The pain continues throughout the night. I did not have a good night sleep.

Next morning, 16th May, I woke up and the poking pain happens again. I freeze and pose with my arm stretch out, I look as though I was playing Pepsi Cola 1 2 3. Without delay Papayaface insist I call my gynae to make an appointment to check if our baby is ok.

So off we go to a familiar place in Kembangan Plaza. Waited for our turn, went in and explain everything to our kind gentle gynae. He put on his gloves and advice Papayface that he will be “feeling” me to check. Papayaface gave his consent ..lol ok ok cut story short. Our gynae inform my “whatever thing you call it” has open up by 2cm. The baby estimated to pop-up soon. Gulp! He informs we can have an alternative to allow the baby pop earlier by inducing. Pop out faster? Hhmm? First time hearing it. So he explain to us both - new soon to be parents.

I opt for it as I can’t sit and wait for the sharp pain to happen now and then due to my working environment and schedule. My sis was hesitant when I told her about it. She believes to let things natural but I don’t think I can sit and wait. So Doc lets go for it!
