2nd Day of Maternity Leave

Today is my second day of maternity leave. I spent most of the day surfing the net but have to walk around from time to time as Bub doesn't like me sitting for a long time. 

Last night, I had sharp, sudden pains on my pelvic that lasted for an hour (on and off). I thought the Baby wants to come out so I started to time the contractions. Just when I had my phone with me, ready to time the intervals, it stopped.

Today, my pregnancy tracker is telling me I have one week and one day more to go. But anything can happen. I should write down everything I want to ask my midwife, she is visiting me tom (I changed my pregnancy care to Midwifery Group Practice so instead of me going to the hospital everytime, its my midwife who visits me at home and will continue the visits after the baby is born, cool!).




Because my labour is imminent, I asked my sisters how their labour went. My yoga teacher told me that generally, you would have similar experience with your siblings. Our eldest told me she had a long labour (17 hours) and I remembered my niece being born conehead because she had to be vacuumed out. On the other hand, my younger sister said she laboured for only an hour! An hour, imagine??? She said during the course of her pregnancy, she was forced to exercise as her classroom (she is a Teacher) was at the third floor of their building. The exercise did her well and she had an easy labour. So now I don't know what mine would be like, I am scared but excited and looking forward to it at the same time. I think, when you're almost at the end of your pregnancy, all these thoughts occupy your head.

Oh well...

I can manage, we will manage. Everything will be okay. So help me God.

I need to bake now coz I am hungry!!!
