Mucous plug came off this morning. So I called the hospital and contacted the gynae and told me to go the labour ward. Took my bath and did some last minute laundry. We got a lift to the hospital , thanks to WaiSing & Steph, :) I was then strapped to the CTG scanner for 3hrs plus. Baby was doing great, very very busy inside and he moved so much that the nurse had to come in twice to tighten the strap to ensure the heartbeat indicator stays put.
My initial contractions for the 1st 2 hours were pathetic. But during the last hour, contractions got more consistent in frequency and higher in intensity. Real stuff felt like radiating from the lower back to the upper belly. Just as doctor came by again, she said it could jolly well be tonight upon seeing my chart. She said that if I had come during the 3rd hour, she would have warded me. Anyway, I came home and monitored. It was like 6-7 times per hour for the past 2-3 hours. Not increasing in intensity though. Anyway, tomorrow I need to go for the glucose challenge. While waiting doctor would put me on CTG again to see how am I doing. All I need is a good night sleep tonight
