PrematurityBirthAwarenessMonth

Our personal journey - Part2

We stepped into the much awaited 7th month of pregnancy. Day one of 7th mnth. From morning, I felt more discomfort that was not usual. Abdomen felt heavy with then n there pain. As usual no elder at home to check me in person. I called my Amma and explained. She thought it was normal discomfort because no clue about what was I going through.

I did cooking as usual with that pain.Did Veg Briyani that day. But couldn't able to eat because of pain.Did all household work like vessels washing (My maid was on leave.And I was doing all work by not accepting my hubby's partnership on that day - bit cranky might be). Pain got increased minute by minute slowly and steadily.. Night suffered with pain without any clue why so soon. We thought it was normal. My hubby slept due to tiredness after 12 AM. Morning about 5AM (I didn't sleep whole night), I woke up him " Prabu come let's meet doctor. I cannot able to tolerate anymore".

We called my parents and they reached the hospital before us. Doctor said contractions started I even dnt know what is meant by that time. I asked "Doc what is meant by contraction ?? " She told "Delivery symptoms started. We have to prevent it soon. Because it is too early to deliver a baby. Just I was into my 25th week". I got admitted at hosp for a day and got discharged next day. She advised to take bed rest after that till due date. And doc loaded me with medicines to follow till due date. My mother came with me without any choice left over. Because I was not in a situation to stay at my parents home for many reasons.

Just 13 days all medicines helped to hold my baby inside my womb. At 14th day of 7th mnth, that is 28th week of pregnancy????
