birth story
January 21, 2008 at 9:55 am (thoughts)
12:00am of October 17 I started to feel contractions which was 2hrs apart, during this time I kept bugging Coy about the pain and he kept me calm by reminding me about the lessons I’ve learned on my Childbirth class. Worried about not being able to eat atleast 2hrs before the operation I prepared myself an oatmeal, while waiting for it to get cooked I was browsing thru my childbirth handouts. *Ting* microwave signalled for my oatmeal to be cooked, as I stood up a gush of water came out of me, immediately I sent Coy an SMS “my water bag broke”, my cousin who was my aneasthesiologist and my OB was informed about the situation as well. I knocked on my aunts’ room and calmly told her that my water bag broke and I’m taking a shower. Coy was mad that I decided to take a shower instead of heading straight to the hospital. Anyway despite his protest I took a quick shower since I know that it’ll be days before I can take a bath. Dressed we called all the taxi company to no avail we coudnt get one, and my cousin was not home so nobody was available to drive me. I went back to my room to inform Auntie Bing, she literally fell down the bed when I announced that my water bag broke. We called up Auntie Virgie a family friend who promised that her husband would drive me to the hospital when the time comes, which I forgot. And so we called them up and just a few minutes after the call her husband was outside our gate waiting for us, that was about 2:00 am, I was also sending messages to friends that my bag broke. We reached UERM by 2:30am Mama Alma and I took the stairs and both of us laughing about Auntie Bing’s fall. UERM’s delivery room was at th 3rd floor, we both sat for awhile outside and even managed to take a picture (I wont post it here kasi ang pangit!). Kuya Frank texted me to go inside the delivery room since the assigned resident was already waiting for me and he’ll be coming a little later pa. With my black folder which contains all the information needed I went inside all the attendants greeted me and confirmed if I was Dr. Nacario’s cousin.
