It's so hard for me to write the blog in chinese as i have so little time available for surfing the web or for myself so to speak....
so here's the details:
On Saturday, April 10....
that mid-nite i experienced some cramps in the stomach but that didn't last for more than 3 times, so as the doc have said...if not progressively stronger or closer the frequency, i can just ignore it as pre-labour pain...
so i kept on sleeping till morning and when i went to the toilet, i felt a strong sense of pushing downwards from in the lower abdomen, but i didn't pay particular attention to it and woke up to play with Gabriel
around 9am i went to the toilet again and this time the urge of pushing downward was so strong that i had to hold my breath to stop that feeling (and my heart beat went really fast this time).
since the pain was quite bad i asked mr. P if i should go back to doc's office or just go to the hospital
he said if this continues and get progressively more intense, then we'll just head straight to the hospital
and after putting Gabriel to sleep around 10am, i went to pee again and this time, the pushing down feeling was not a JOKE!
i had concentrate to hold my breath in order to stand up from the toilet bowl...and once i stood up completely-----there--------> i felt water came gushing down my legs.......
gosh!!!! my water just broke!!!!
i cried for help, but mr. P closed the living room door and i had to scrambled to the glass door to signal for help
mr. P saw me in pain and asked our maid to help me change for going out
and then i saw red tooooooo
when i went in to change clothes...the first contraction came in and it felt strong....
i had to concentrate to stop myself from pushing...
i told Defola to ask mr. P if we were ready to leave the house but he was still waiting for concierge to call us a taxi
so instead of waiting in the house, we headed straight outside but it was hard for me to stand up straight as the urge downward was SOOOOO strong that i had to lie down on the corridor to wait for the lift and also inside the lift itself...i think i scared the heck out of the little girl in the lift~ but who could care more about her back then..
as the lift arrived 3rd floor, i could hardly move myself out of the lift because i just feel like going into labour any minute now
the concierge people and mr. P moved me out of the lift and had me lie down on the sofa to wait for the taxi
it felt like 10 mins before the taxi could come directly outside the concierge door
but i told them i couldn't even move without someone lifting me up
because of my condition, the concierge people suggested we call the ambulance instead, so mr. P said we will then wait for the ambulance to come
and it felt like a 3 hours before the ambulance and the guys could come and arrange the trolley to take me out of the lobby
oh my......i had like 5 contractions already and any minute i could give birth rite then~
then the ambulance crew suggested we go to QE but we already asked Dr. yip to wait for us in Union Hospital
and it was a debate before we could finally settle for going to Union Hospital (why? because i had a few more severe contraction and i thought i had to labour right there on the ambulance)
