As i wasnt doing any household, one of our friends here invited us for dinner...... we went there and i suddenly started to feel contractions..... i had to note the timing how long they lasts and the gap between the contractions.... the doctor had told me not to eat more during this time as the whole body has to concentrate on the birthing.....so i ate light and drank a lot..... then by 2 o'clock in the night they were really getting intense..... i was happy and called the hospital.... they told me to take shower and bring the labor bag alongwith..... the labor bag had all the things that would be required at the hospital..... generally it has an outfit each for mother and the baby, a blanket for baby, brush, toothpaste, 2 diapers for the baby, a comb, a hairclip, some cash, medical card..... one may also want back massage at the time of labor, for that tennis balls are good..... a pair of slippers, and other things that you consider to be important.... my bag was ready during my seventh month of pregnancy..... anyways, i took the bath quickly and Ramanuj and our friends took me to the hospital.... i was all excited cause though i could clearly make out the contractions by then..... but i was like this is not that bad.... anybody can do it..... they simply say its painful and all..... but when the doctor checked she said i was just 4cms dialated..... i was still enjoying that moment.... Ramanuj had brought a camcoder to record everything..... we wanted this to be recorded so that when Anushka is 18, we could give her as a gift..... so everything was being recorded..... i was happy but Ramanuj was a bit scared..... He doesnt like hospitals at all.... though hospitals in US are very clean and it doesnt feel at all like its a hospital.... but he has this phobia since a long time..... and he was worried about what will happen..... I kept on encouraging him..... and when i was worried he kept on making jokes..... so we were helping each other.....
to be continued.....
