**Post dated 25th**
I actually have a few things to blog about this week… BUT first I have to write about my drama last night. After all one of the main reasons I wanted to ‘resuscitate’ my blog is to document my pregnancy well… whatever that’s left of it. 
So yesterday ‘aunty’ (meaning me lah!) had contractions from morning and it got stronger through out the day while I was doing my hair. Yes… sempat go dye hair some more! Must be pretty for my confinement period. Then it kinda died down in the evening but by then Greg and all were all hands on deck already. By night I was going crazy already. Greg was suppose to go to work in the morning for a Taipei flight which means the whole day. So don’t know if he should go to work or not.. I called the ER earlier that evening and told them about my contractions and they advised me to go to the hospital if there is any contractions at all… 
So in the end, after rolling around in bed for what seems like forever… we finally decided to go to the hospital at 2am…
At the hospital the nurse strapped me up to monitor the contractions which was still coming but not regular. After 30 mins, the nurse checked me but she said that I have not dilated but my cervix is soft… So how le..? So she called my doctor to ask what should we do then. In the end, we ended up staying the night or rather morning and she strapped me up at 6am to be monitored again. By that time the contractions were very faint already. Another nurse came in and asked me could it be that it was just Braxton Hicks that I was experiencing…. Well, I thought it was such a stupid question… Braxton Hicks is still contractions right… and if I didn’t think that it was ‘something’ I’ll come in? How do you know if it real contractions or just Braxton?
I know, I know… I’ve had 2 kids already and all.. but really they are all different lah… When I had Caitlyn this is exactly what happened.. I had contractions, went in to be monitored, the next thing I knew they pricked my bag and out she came… But very drama and a lot of pain… I don’t wanna be induced again if I have a choice. 
Anyways… Then my doctor came in at about 7am to check on me.. Did another internal test and confirmed what the earlier nurse said to me… Cervix is soft and baby is very low already but no dilation yet. He said that I should be ready maybe in within a weeks time. He doesn’t advise to induce also as technically I’m still considered as pre term.. (35 weeks and 4 days) . So we all went home lah.. So tired and disappointed…
** I was suppose to have posted this days ago.. but unfortunately P1Wimax was down during those 2 days of thunder storm and my home’s router was down too.. So finally here it is.
Just a little update. Last night I felt those ‘false’ contractions too. Couldn’t sleep till like 3 am when it finally eased off. Plus Emmelyn is really a night bird, squirming around inside the whole night!!! Arrgh! I think there isn’t much space for her already because it really feels like she is trying to break out! I only have 1 baby inside and it already feels like having a cat in a bag… (Greg’s term..LOL) I asked my maid how was it for her when she had twins?!! Did she feel like she was gonna explode?
