I frequented the pre-labor room at TMC two weeks before I gave birth to our little one. The first one was due to a minor accident — I tripped down the stairs (gosh, I was already 38 weeks pregnant then). Thank God, the baby and I were okay. The succeeding visits were due to contractions.
On June 6, I got admitted to the hospital. It was a really long day for us. At 2AM, I visited the pre-labor room because I was having contractions . The doctor said there were indeed contractions, however, my cervix was still close. I wasn't ready to deliver the baby yet so they sent me back home.
When we arrived home, I noticed that I was bleeding already. I assumed it was probably just due to the IE. The bleeding didn't stop, so I went back to the hospital after a few hours. Little did I know that my cervix was already dilated at 4 cm. I got admitted right away.

After ten hours of labor, we welcomed our baby, Penelope Janelle. We call her Pen Pen! ❤️
I gave birth via NSD. She was 7lbs then. š

Thank you so much, Doctora, and the TMC Delivery Suite team who took care of me that day! ❤️
Glad we were able to document these precious moments! It's something I want to revisit from time to time, hence, the blog post.
Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with our dear Penelope Janelle! ❤️
