I spent a good part of the day (2.5 hrs in fact!) sleeping away the most excruciating pain I face every month. I'm sure you can guess what's happened. Haha.
So anyway there I was, huddled like a fetus, with cushy comforting pillows squished all around me, trying to breathe normally, and just praying that the pain would go away. It went on for about say..30-40 mins before it dissipated and tired out from the intensity, I slept like a baby for the rest of the time.
During the period I was half awake with the room spinning right before my eyes, I was wondering about the pain pregnant women all over the world experience prior to actually giving birth; where they go ha-ha-hoo, ha-ha-hoooooooo, practising whatever they've learnt in pre-natal class and pushing their limits of tolerance of pain.
It scared me! Just thinking about the agony they face, from a few minutes to a few hours, having tubes, drips and the like stuck in every possible nook and cranny in your body, to doctors telling you instructions ( i think!) and trying to remember it all in while your brain melts to butter and leaks out of your ears. Eeks! Not to mention, exposing the most intimate parts of your body to everyone without a care in the world because you JUST WANT TO GET THE BABY OUT! Lol. Then again, I may just be over-imagining things. I'm sure mommies experience a sense of sheer, unexplainable joy and relief the moment they hear their babies wail. Oh well. Only time will tell, and I'll possibly update this post in a few years to come! Haha. First though, I have to graduate, get a job, and get hitched! Hehe.
