Will wait and see for more obvious sign.

03 May 09
4.00am - Wakes up with painful contractions. Contraction comes every 5-10 mins. 2 consecative nights already..
11+am - Decides to go hosp..
1.00pm - Out from house. Went to bhg get my sis birthday present, Lervin's gift and hub's stuffs.. After, we settle at sakae sushi for late lunch. Just in case I really need to admit.! Pass by united square and decides to get my breastpump. There's toy'r rus sales so we get another gift for lervin. Lucky boy.! Lol..
5.30pm - Reach TMC. Was telling hub that maybe they wont admit me as the contraction is not pain enough.. From what I'm being told and always thinks is I will only admit hosp when the pain is unbearable. And also being told by gynae only admit when waterbag burst, show, 5 mins contractions... If really didnt admit me, then dont know when i can deliver...
Enter labour room, the nurses there seems more gan chiong then me. After bell had been pressed, 2 nurses from 2 different rooms came out looking at my tummy and uickly helped me on each side to the labour ward. My hub and I suddenly becomes very anxious too... When they asked me when's my due date, i said 1st may. They were like so shock. And without checking, they said it's time.... Lol..
6.00pm - VE done, 1.5cm dilated. ctg checked, having contractions 5 mins apart. Nurse ask me if i want to admit as im still at early stage. Of course i say no. Still thinking of gng to mum's place and see lervin. Miss him so much.. Waiting for JWong to check..
6.45pm - JWong reached. Another VE done. Ouch! She further stretch the membrances and I'm 3cm dilated! She wants me to admit today... Est delivery time will be 2-3am if by natural.. Another 7hrs more!! No choice bt to admit.. Hub went home to put the barangs we bought earlier and will be back.
7.00pm - changed to hosp gown, cleared bowels and moved to labour room waiting to deliver! JWong burst my waterbag and I'm 4cm dilated!!
7.30pm - Given sandwiches and milo.. The chicken sandwich is quite nice.. Lol..
Now waiting for hub to come and we'll walk arnd the hosp to make my contraction more intense.. 8.00pm - Still waiting for hub... Contraction more stronger... Rate 3/10
9.00pm - Still can take the pain. contraction becoming much more stronger.. Rate 4/10
9.30pm - Hub reached. Am having slight headache. Maybe its due to past 2 sleepless nights... cant rest now too.. When i close my eyes, the pain comes... Trying to get down from bed and the contraction comes. It's so painful that I cant even speak and can only bend and hold on to hub. Hub keep talking to me and I ignore him.. It's not on purpose.. It's because the pain is so painful that I cant talk/speak... Rate 7/10
11.00pm - Nurse check dilation. No progress at all! The contraction is really painful. And i mean REALLY PAINFUL!!! If dilation fast maybe i still can endure. Bt not much progress so no choice but to request 'happy dural'...
11.30pm - Epidural administrated. Finally I can rest. !
Next check will be 4am.. Hope i've dilated much more and go natural.. If not I've to go thru emer c-sec.. Kinda worried...
