Downward Descent

Apparently, le bebe's head is engaged and my stomach is visibly lower. My mother said that it could be as soon as 48 hours or two weeks depending if the head is stuck in birth canal.

So just now, I started packing my hospital bag. Put in baby and mine going home clothes, surah yassin, toiletries, camera, nursing bra + pads + disposable undies etc etc. Scary Mary on the rocks lor. But Insya'Allah, this birth is going to be easier and faster. I have been preparing for it mentally, physically and especially spiritually and I am really praying that Allah will take pity on me and grant me my prayers.

Speaking of prayers, the husband will be going away for an overseas work trip to Brunei. I am really hoping that the baby will be able to wait and make the appearance until the father is in the same room. But I have been making alternative arrangements such as my mother being in the labour room with me and my Dad doing the azan/qamat when the baby arrives. Of course at the end of the day, I would still very much want the husband to be around. But you never know what God has plan for us. All I can do is increase my prayers.

Amin :)
