21.08.08 it was thursday, we were scheduled for the weekly ob checkup. there we learned i'm already 2cm dilated. hence, she advised me to take a rest. we also discussed the next course of actions since i was due in just over a week (30 aug).
i was supposed to be admitted in hospital a few days before the due date (26th aug, tue). it's standard protocol for possibility of normal delivery after my having had a previous cs.
i didn't like the idea of being admitted. that means staying longer in hospital. already, it takes an average of 4-5 hospital-days-stay after delivery. think about staying in hospital by yourself where the language barrier is so great. sigh! but we didn't have any other choice.
at home, i cannot stop thinking about the impending hospitalization and delivery. my only way out was to go into labor before the 26th. noo-ni-noo-ni-noo...
i wanted to start packing my things for the hospital, but decided to postpone it. well, i've heard a story of how they packed their bags and then a day after they went into labor. or how the doctor told them it will still take a week, and within 24 hours they delivered. yes, i wanted to deliver my baby before the admission date, but i wasn't sure if i wanted it too soon. :)
against doctor's advice, we went shopping at h&m in avion that night. we scheduled it the previous day, but for some reason it was postponed. anyway, i helped hubby get some new clothes. i bought a black dress, and some children's clothes as gifts. inay got some things too.
so the evening ended uneventfully. in bed, hubby and i talked a bit about other people's labor stories, etc. other than that, we didn't have any clue whatsoever of what lies ahead... :)
