At 8 pm, we decided to go to the hospital, just for a spin. Athai has been helping amma. We packed our stuff and left. At the hospital, they asked us lot of questions and made us fill lot of forms and made amma really angry. She was so angry, I was worried that you would come out anytime!!! Amma filled the forms amid contractions and tears!
After some time, a nurse checked amma and said 2 cm dilation. Amma felt really bad..."after all these contractions, it has only dilated 1 cm more..." After 15 minutes, another doctor, who had apparently very small tiny fingers came, and said it was 4 cm. Amma gave a huge sigh...thinking that she didnt have to go through the ordeal of going back home amidst contractions.
The doctors got busy. They put amma on drips. They added some antibiotics. And attached some sensors over amma's belly to check your heartbeat and amma's contractions. It was real fun to listen to your fast hearbeat...and interesting to watch amma's contractions graphed like Mahendra Dhoni's run rate... (however we still maintained a very serious facade, so that, amma does not get angry with us!!!)
