come out, come out

My new ob is also great. She’s younger, explains things a lot also, and does a painless IE. She also happens to be Tintin Bersola’s ob which prompted my mom to comment that she might be an expensive doctor, haha! According to her my cervix is still closed (to my disappointment) and I might definitely be back for another check-up after a week. After the check-up she informed me that I might experience a bit of bleeding for the next two days because of the IE she just did. Also, after numerous free check-ups we’ve had with Dra. Olympia, Ramil and I finally had to pay for one. Hehe!

I had no bleeding last Friday, no bleeding yesterday, and then when I woke up this morning I discovered a brownish-reddish streaks on my underwear upon urinating! Of course, I was excited but confused at the same time. Is this it, the ‘bloody show’ that precedes labor? According to What to Expect When You’re Expecting:
“This show usually means labor will start within 24 hours - but it could be as much as several days away.”
Ha! Very helpful! I already know that I can give birth anytime, thank you! So the waiting game is still on. After discovering the ’show’ I urged Ramil to walk with me around our subdivision, in the hopes of getting those foolproof-labor-is-starting contractions. We walked for 30 minutes…nothing but the feeling of heaviness. I don’t know who is more makulit, Mateo or me.
