I swear I felt the baby move!
Yup! The baby DID move!This time I'm 100% sure. I wasn't hungry. I wasn't nervous or anything.The baby MOVED! 6th Sept 2005 @ 6:04pm.That's it. After that, it remained dormant. Again. Yesterday I switched channels between Discovery and National Geographic. Both showing abt childbirth and stuff. At first it was all fine and dandy, like, "Oh my baby was like this" and "Ah, now my baby is at this stage".And then came the last part of the show. The Actual Childbirth.They really showed the mommy in labour. And the doctor poking the humongous needle into the spinal cord. And the mommies' faces when the contractions attack. And the picturesque view of the baby in the womb going through the canal. And then it came. They actually showed the baby's head slowly popping out of the mommy's thingy. Seriously. I couldn't remember whether it was Discovery or National Geo that showed the full view cos I was channel switching channels so much. But seriously. The mom was actually standin up and leaning on the bed when she was giving birth coz they said it was easier so. I think it's the whole gravity thing. Anyway, the baby actually popped out slowly. The head was the most difficult coz it's the biggest part of the body. And after all the pushing, the head appeared. But it's not the end for the mom. More pushing and screaming. The gynae actually pulled the baby's head so that the whole body can come out. Isn't that torturing the baby?Anyway, after watching the whole thing, I'm scared. I'm petrified. I'm so nervous now. I know it's gonna be painful. But until I experience it myself, no amount of tv or sharing sessions can prepare me for what's coming my way. I don't know how painful it will be. I can say that I got a strong threshold of pain. But this is different. To label it painful is already an understatement I think. It was so exciting before. But now, I don't know. I'm scared of giving birth. What have I got myself into....
Pooped @ 9:33 AM
