When I was pregnant with baby Gwenks, I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't even aware on what to expect by then. All the pregnancy books that I've read discussed the 'possible' scenarios that might happen on the day of your delivery but I think I had my own version.

This time, I think I will have a different birthing story to share again. Unlike before when I didn't experience any labor or contraction until I was only few hours due, now I am experiencing false labor at different times. Last night when I lulled baby Gwen to sleep, I was able to sleep too. When I woke up for dinner, I felt extreme pain on my abdomen. Since I know that I have a high tolerance for pain, I observed myself if it was already real labor. After several minutes, it was gone. But then, I felt a strong heartbeat coming from my tummy. I just changed position and relaxed myself. After eating dinner, I was okay.

This morning, I felt the strong heartbeat again. I relaxed a bit before finally getting up and I was okay.

These things make me want to prepare my hospital bag already. I am only on my 34th week and I still have to extend even until my 36th week only. Later we will go out. I will already buy the 'remaining' things that I need to get from the grocery. I do not want baby Stef going out when I am not prepared.

But I hope she last until her 38th week. This is my OB's target date... after that, its time to lose weight again and do another routine of taking care of a little one.
