Had my check up last Wednesday and all is well.
I was able to talk to my OB regarding my birth plan and she’s very supportive. I told her that I want to experience the “Unang Yakap” procedure and that I want to exclusively breastfeed my baby. I can see that she’s happy with my decision. She did warn me though.
Apparently, this procedure means I will not be given any anesthetics, no IV’s, no whatever. It will be painful but worth it. I did not blink when I told her that I’ll do it and as long as its possible and as far as I can tolerate the pain, I don’t want any pain killers.
She checked my .. uhm… lady parts and told me that I’m already 1 cm dilated. It could be any moment now. Or it could still last for a couple days, probably a week. I got really excited and all smiley. Dr. Mariano gave me the admission slip and some instructions. I’m almost there!!
When I got home, panic struck! I was not prepared. My bag is not yet ready!!! I tried to relax and waited for signs that I’m going to deliver (that’s how excited I was). Then I tried to sleep it off. But by 2 am, I stood up and packed my bag. I couldn’t sleep unless I know I’m really really ready.
So there. It’s been almost a week and still no baby. I’ll be having my regular check up on Wednesday and we’ll see what happens. In the meantime, I need to get out of the house. LOL!!
Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
