Real or not?

Last night was one of the awful nights (hhhmmmm I think there would be more to come) where I could not sleep well, tossed around in pain and mild contractions were happening. I went to bed at 9pm, slept awhile and woke up at 10.30pm. I had contractions of like 20seconds each for about 5-6times for 2hours. After that I couldn't sleep, probably till 2am or so and then slept through to 7 in the morning. Can't quite remember how many times did I patronise the loo last night but it sure did felt as if I was going to the loo every other 15minutes.

We went to the doctor today, complained about the groin and pelvic pain that I have been having. Tahan, tahan... And damn, I flunked my urine test again, this time I seriously need to retake the glucose challenge. Would be taking MC on Monday to retake the test. I have to fast from 10pm on Sunday till Monday morning. When I get to the hospital, the lab would take the urine and blood samples. Then I have to drink the awful fizzy orange drink and sit there for 2hours and the lab would take the urine and blood samples again. If I do have gestational diabetes, doctor need to induce me for early delivery... something which I don't want

Anyway, during the checkup, doctor told us that I am ready for labour. Cervix has 2cm dilation already, anytime soon and blablabla. I wasn't really paying much attention when she's blabbering on, as I was thinking "ANYTIME SOON?! But the confinement lady would be available only on the 7th Dec onwards!" I think I was in denial because I read in early labour stage it would take a long while before active labour starts and that thought kept playing in my brain. But doctor said, based on the cervix texture it's in good shape for delivery. If I do get continuous bloody discharge and/or contractions which are more frequent and increasing in intensity, then yes, it's probably time to get to call the hospital.

After the checkup, we strolled our way to Tanglin Mall for breakie. As we were waiting to be served, I was still thinking about the haircut and one good dinner at Pete's Place on 1Dec. Then I sms-ed some girlfriends. One told me that one of her gf was dilated 2cm and wanted to deliver asap, she decided to walk the malls for the whole day and yes, the next day she delivered her baby. This is unbelieveable! I was dead beat, after that I got home, dropped everything and slept for 1 1/2hrs. One great energy charger nap! After I woke up I called my mum to tell her about the possibility of popping earlier and told her to come by to Singapore as soon as possible. Then I informed my confinement lady. I told her that I needed a backup plan in case I do deliver earlier. I hope she would find someone if I do deliver before 7Dec.

We had dinner at Yoshinoya, Tampines Mall and walked around a bit. Felt a couple of contractions this evening and tonight as well. Well, I am a little lazy to time them. I thought if they are not increasingly more powerful, I could just ignore them. I am praying hard that I could sleep tonight (That's all I ask for), if not I would be counting sheeps and pigs again....
