False Alarm

We are both exhausted! False alarm can be so not fun!

1. It got us all anxious

2. Timing contractions takes patience

3. For a first timer, I wasn't even too sure if what I experienced was indeed contractions.


The experience
2.30am: Loo visit

2.45am: Half asleep/awake, felt some aches and cramps in lower belly, and had trouble trying to remember menses like cramps meant contractions!
Decided not to tell the hubby yet since I wasn't sure what was happening.

3.04am: Another bout of cramps, this time round quite sure it felt like menses cramp but still decided to monitor myself.

3.22am: Cramps again. Decided to get hubby to time contractions. Hubby got all excited and anxious and starting going round the house to gather things for the hospital.

3.40am: Loo visit again, not sure if I was having another bout of cramps but felt like a mild one. Got hungry and ate a piece of cake, cos I remember Brenda's advise about eating before admitting myself into the hospital. Also remember Doc's instructions to remove nail polish before admission, so got the hubby to do that since I couldn't reached my toes (since don't noe when) and I thought it could help to calm the Mr. down.

After that we both settled back in bed, there was some mild cramps here and there, but decided it should be a false alarm and I was too tired to care (!!! hahaha) and went back to sleep.
