Let me just say, apologies for the overshare, but being a mom… And this being a birthing story… You can’t expect anything else.
But I will try and keep it light. 😉
It was a chilled weekend in October 2018, we slept over the saterday night at my mom’s house.                          Â
The next morning I woke up at 6h and went to the toilet. I made my tinkle and all of a sudden, I felt a ‘pop’ down below and liquid came out of a different hole…
I froze. “Was that my water breaking?”
I stood up, went to my husband, told him, that water trickled out of a different hole. He sat up and tried to process that this might be it. I woke my mom and told her, we phoned a nurse friend of ours and told her what happened.
” Yes, my dear… That was your water breaking.” She told us not to rush, since there were no contractions. I just put on my Grey knit dress, no panty, no bra, just a hand towel rolled up and popped between my legs.
I waddled downstairs and layed on the couch trying to relax. I phoned my best friend, and shared the news what’s happening, while hubby went to fetch the baby bag and my hospital bag. Mom was getting ready and off we went to the hospital.
Every now and then while driving, a Gush of water came out!
IT IS THE WEIRDEST FEELING!!
We got to the hospital and all of a sudden, me in my Grey knit dress, no bra, no panty and my towel C-string, realised that I am not wearing shoes!
After having a good laugh, we bust into the ER, I told the girl behind the desk that my water broke, and that I am literally dripping on their floor. Really.
And the most important, that I am scheduled for a C-section with my gynae, but only in 2.5 weeks!
I made it very clear… C-section! I am not pushing anyone, except in a que.😅
Thanks goodness, they had a private room open for me! Aircon, 2 lazy boy chairs and my own bathroom!
They popped a few monitors on my belly to check Joy’s heart rate and I got dressed in the highly fashionable hospital apron and climbed into bed. Luckily my gynae was available to do the c-section!
And by 10h I got wheeled of to the theater with hubby by my side.
Part 2 to follow soon😘
