10:00 - Telling a colleague that I should be done with the report by 11:00.
10:35 - Felt a gush of warm water coming out from ... Oh, oh... water has broken. My first reaction was to dash to the toilet. On the way, I bumped into a colleague. As she was going to greet me, I said, "大锅了". Then, only realized that she doesn't speak Canto. I switched to Mandarin, "穿水了". The expression on her face changed to a shocking one, "那，你赶紧去医院啊！"
11:00 - Instead of having done with the report, I reached the Alexian Brothers Hospital.
11:10 - Checked-in. Nurses came to plug in many wires and cables, to give me IV drip, to ask me a list of 101 questions and to draw blood to check haemoglobin level.
12:45 - Had first pack of antibiotic IV fluid. I need the antibiotic bcoz I was tested positve for Strep Group B test.
14:00 - Related undone office work to a colleague.
16:45 - Had 2nd pack of antibiotic IV injection. Cervix dilated 1 cm only. Had small dose of Pitocin thru IV injection to increase uterine contraction.
......
22:45 - Cervix dilated 1.5 cm only. Dosage of Pitocin was increased.
22:35 - Read an sms from Mama Peh in HK. Then only I knew that she has Maxis international roaming. I replied that I'm already admitted in the hospital. But too late, she didn't receive my sms as it was already boarding time heading to Chicago O'Hare from HK Chek Lap Kok.
......
Had an uneasy sleepless nite. Crampy tummy. Bloody urine. Painful back.
