Hi..it's been a long time since my last post...
There are quite a lot of things to be shared on here but I guess I dont have much time for that, maybe will do that after the baby has born.

Today, around 2.30am, I woke up (as usual) to pee. Ive lost some of my mucus plug since few days ago bit by bit of which the color is always white creamy. But it is not the case now. Just recently I passed out what seemed like blood clots / dark red + brownish gelatin type of discharge.

Doctor has warned to go to the labor room once there's a bloody show. But I told my husband to get ready only later at around 6am. Thia is because, my water has not yet been broken, so we still hv more time to get ready and to catch enough rest.

Oh..by the way, Im in this situation of a back labor, where the baby is head down but facing upwards (posterior) instead of downwards (anterior). So I never get to experience Braxton Hicks or any sort of contractions (my hub said I was lucky!) But I get a lot of back pain that radiates down my legs.

Baby has been really active since last night...this moment I can still feel her squirming around, hoping really bad she can turn around and face my spine. Without contractions I have no idea whether or not I am in active labor...

According to the doctor I consulted, back labor was a bit intense and harder to push. It took more time for baby to slide down and most of the time requires medical assistance such as by using forcep or vacuum to help baby out.

I really wish I can give birth normally without having to be induced or given any pain medication. As much as I wanted, I would prefer a drug free delivery.

1 more hour before checking in into labor, I  ready to have her in my arms. My hub seems so excited as well.

Nervous...until next time
