How's everybody here? Apologise for being inactive here for almost 5 days as I gave birth to my little one and now he's finally here!
As much as I want to publish these past few days, I don't want to use the phone for too long since they say it's not good for my health condition for now.

During this day, I experienced the word "labor", I thought it's just a false labor and I am just having a Braxton hicks contraction since it's not yet my due date and the pain that I had at that time is tolerable, its started from 6 in the afternoon but when the night comes, the pain that I feel is increasing. When my tummy hurts suddenly I will stand and walk. Then after a minute, the pain will fade away.
My partner assisted me and comfort me when my tummy aches. I want to cry that time because of so much pain that comes back every minute but thanks to my partner for his comforting words.
I am thinking that time that maybe it's not false labor and that I am having labor already and that confirms when I pee and I saw blood in my underwear. So I told my partner to get things ready because any time we will be going to the hospital.
Exactly midnight when we decided to go to the hospital, my partner called his mom to accompany us. Since the hospital is near our house we just walk but while walking halfway my tummy hurt again then we decided to ride a tricycle when we arrived at the hospital we go directly to the tent where pregnant women assisted. But unfortunately, the staff told us that they are not accepting because one of their staff there was tested positive for covid. Hearing those lines make me feel nervous because it's the only hospital I think of but my partner said it's okay we need to find another hospital. The staff just I. E me and said I'm in my 6 I'm so I can still find another hospital.
While thinking, I remembered the hospital where my mom was admitted back then and so I suggested it to my partner and we immediately find a taxi. The staff there asked us some questions and if I have my swab test but unfortunately, I don't have since the centre didn't contact me yet for my schedule of swab test and who knows that I'm giving birth that day.
I felt scared when they say I will be included in the ward where everyone doesn't have also a swab test. And we don't know if one there is positive or not. Hearing those makes me want to go home and just gave birth at home but my partner's mother said that we don't have a choice so we said okay and then they guided me and my partner to the labor room. They put dextrose to me and while waiting I am surprised when one person entered and did a swab test for me, I thought they don't have a swab test here? That's what I said in my mind but good thing they have. So while having my labor I also have my swab test, imagine how hurt is that.
The staff bring me to the labor room at 2 am then I just lie down there and wait for the doctors to I.E and check if I'm about to give birth and bring me to the delivery room. It hurts so much having a labor while lying down in bed. I am praying while I am there. When I'm about to give birth and already 9 cm they transfer me already to the delivery room then arranged the things that are needed. I'm nervous at that time but I need to fight for my child and me also. When they said I need to push then I follow then it took me just three pushes then my baby is out already. The pain that I feel is all worth it when I heard him cry and saw him for the first time. I thank all the doctors there. And I gave birth wearing FACE MASK AND FACE SHIELD. Yes, that's how hard it is to give birth now because of a pandemic.
Finally, here is the photo of my baby boy :) he is behaving in the hospital but now that we are in our house he always cries at midnight haha so we have no choice to stay up until he went back to sleep. I delivered him normally and I thank God for that. I always spoke to my child when he was still in my tummy to go out fast and not give me a hard time that he follows. I can say that my baby boy is a good listener hehe. He's healthy and very cute. All the pain is worth it indeed.
Now that I am already a mother, I need to adjust and learn how to handle and take care of a baby. It's hard at the same time it gives you a feeling of happiness.
My partner was very happy and have tears of joy when he finally hold and saw our child. In the hospital, they are not allowed to visit us in the ward and no one is allowed to enter so I am the only one assisting our child inside the ward and they are just called when I need something or the nurse asked him to buy medicine.
My father was also very happy when he saw his grand child in the picture that I send to him. He's excited to meet him on Saturday.
I need to lie low in using phone so I guess I will just publish this and I don't know when is the next article of mine be publish. Hope you understand me :) I will catch up when I recover fully. My stitched is still hurt until now and I can't move fully.
Thanks for reading guys.
