There were gentle knocks on our bedroom door at about 2:55 am this morning. I was half-awake, more asleep. What finally jerked me up was when mentally reminded that our eldest was with us in the house. She has taken leave from work while awaiting her delivery due date, expected on the 7th. But looks like NOW is the time!
Woke up my husband and rushed to the door. Sure enough, my girl was at the door. "Think my water just broke!". That announcement got us into motion. There was no labour pain though but we rather not risk it. Woke up my youngest. She chose to join us to the Serdang Hospital. By 4:30 am we were in the car driving to the hospital, less than 10 minutes away. The normally jam-packed road was eerily twilight zone in nature, with the approaching dawn.
We checked the expecting daughter into the maternity clinic and called the son-in-law. He was then about an hour away at their house in Banting. The plan was that their school going son should not be missing school, but he will need to today. We changed shift with his arrival and head for home. A good rest is needed to prepare for the new arrival.
We waited for news should there be some new development. Nothing changed much even after our evening visit at about 6:30 pm. My daughter was admitted to Ward 5F, Bed P03.
