The "L" Pain...
9months & 9days pregnant me later...It was that nite of 19th Jan 2003, 2am, when I woke up to realize that my water broke...(in male terms I was simply going into labor)...I had read it all the time in my BIBLE "Wat to expect when ur expecting?" about exactly wat to do in such situation so I was totally prepared for this. Do NOT worry am not gonna go into the details of the water braking or anything else bursting out!!! Relax!!
In those days I was staying with my Retired Aunt and My Mom was 2 buildings away from me...so I just called my aunt softly from the sleep and this conversation followed :
Me : Aunt, I think it's the time
Aunt : Ok wat time is it? Which Kashayam(mallu medicine totally yucky stuff) time?
Me : No!! Aunt it's the time of delivery I think...I am going into labor!!!!
Aunt (almost falling with a jump from bed) : Ok, how can u be sure? do u know ?how u can say that tell me? Is the water flowing? r u in pain in the lower abdomen?
Me ( biting my lower lip coz of the pain not anger coz I respect my aunt man!!) : YES! I know Aunty I read it in the book how to confirm that, my water broke!!! N am in lil pain!
Aunt: Ok...ur book is good. So ur sure that's water braking and not just u know...
Me (almost struggling to keep a level head and not use the F word (so tempting)): Aunt, please I know that....no that's not wat it is I am sure of this...
Aunt : Ok ok!! am calling your mom she wud come with the car...hope the hospital has Leelama rite now on duty , I know her u know she is nice..
Me: Leelama???...(almost bit my tongue in half the next second I said that , reminding it never ever to ask stupid question at the rong time)
Aunt : U know Leelama, that nurse who took a look at your Thali mala that day and asked how much tola? Yeh that lady...
Me : Ok Aunty call mom, v will discuss Leelama in the car, I cant hold on much longer....or ur room wud have to be cleaned before v leave....(Gross huh?? Wish my male counterparts went thru atleast half of this n then there really wudnt b such comments)
Aunt : Relax this is nothing serious…its just delivery…I have had 3 times!!
(that explains the "Relax" part of this conversation)
Thankgod, Mom never called me on the line....coz with her I wud have lost my temper which had reached soaring levels of detonation.
N the book had said breath deep n count ur breathing to 15sec and then release....I kept doing that till we reached the hospital.....it also said time out ur labor pain...but I had forgotten my watch....so had to make do with keeping a count on my breathing and correlating it with the intervals in which the pain came....( ok don't mess ur brains....it simply tells the bearer of the child that whether the time for delivery is near or not) The more faster the pains occur the sooner...got that!!
So there we reach the hospital at 2.45am in my good old Maruti car ....He wud be so glad he was a major part in the birth of Archu's first child ( I always considered my car as 1 of my boy friends ..so I usually talked to him a lot n though weird but at times I really think he listens and comprehends me) A knock on the hospital door was answered by my aunts very own Leelama was there when we reached the hospital....
