One Friday evening with great happiness of approaching weekend, I walk to my husbands work to drive home with him. My headphones in full blast listening to my favourite music.. There is something special about Friday evenings..
More than 20 weeks pregnant when on the drive back I get a strange kind of pain in my tummy.. Fear .. Oh my!! What is that? It doesn't feel normal.. My husband pulls back my seat and tells me it's fine just relax.. I close my eyes, stuck in traffic I just try and breathe.. The pain just keeps increasing.. They feel like cramps, menstrual cramps.. Why should I get menstrual cramps ? I keep expressing my fears to my husband.. He tries to just calm me.. We reach home in 45 mins I run to the toilet to check.. Nothing.. The pain still exists.. "Rest for a while, I'l call the midwife" , he said. With tears of fear and with trembling hand I hand over my phone to him with the midwife's number on it. He explained to her about what was happening.. "Oh that's just Braxton Hicks, it's very normal. If the pain continues give her 2 panadol and ask her to rest. If she isn't bleeding it's fine." Ahhhh I breath .. Little bubs stay safe was the only prayer.. First time I realised that I loved him so much.. How was it possible I haven't even seen him yet but this love was so pure.. To end this weekend on a happier note, there was one more development..I felt a tight knot in my tummy when I was standing by the heater.. I wanted to jump .."yes yes I feel him , I feel him"..I make everyone touch the knot , awestruck my husband and sister tease me it's just gas!! Gas! No way that's my little bubs saying," I am well , mumma."
