They feel just like period cramps – tres horribles……a dull uncomfortable backache with lower abdominal discomfort and intermittent pain spasms off and on, without any regularity. I suppose this is what they call Braxton Hicks contractions. I never had them with Tee at all (who refused to come out until she was forced to be sliced out like a chicken!) but this baby is perhaps more eager to greet the world with her middle finger. Maybe she’s more nosey than Tee, if that is at all possible! The latest she’d be coming out would be at week 38 because of my diabetes but of course, if she wanted to come out sooner, it’s not like we could put a toilet plunger up my ‘you know what’ and tell her to hang in there for a bit.

My Doctor said that on any day, if the pain gets unbearable, to go straight to the hospital and in the meantime, to stop gallivanting and lie low. She knows me so well, that woman.

I have not packed a hospital bag. I have not bought maternity pads. I haven’t a single nursing bra. I need to hunt down my breast pads from some cave within my apartment. I have not made emergency plans for what we’d do with Tee should I need to rush into hospital at 4am in the morning. Plus, Mom is abroad this fortnight – very nice. I am depending completely on my super-power breasts to work for the baby’s nourishment. There are no bottles, pacifiers, milk formula, back ups of any sort. Gosh, we haven’t even bought nappies and to think the baby could come out tomorrow! We’re just going to wing this and fly!!!

Just for record purposes, Mom needs to get sesame oil, Chinese wine, red dates, what else, what else? My lack of memory fails me again.
