2nd September, Anticipating Labour

2nd September 2020

Walking from the Hairdresser to the house, the normal me would have chattered a yellow yellow but Doctors say i should do alot of walking.
I had to pause and take breaks even though the walk was not a long one.
I have walked alot and i am very tired. 

Since 5months of this Pregnancy i have never walked like the old me, it was heavy for me, but Allah does not Burden a soul beyound what he can bear. Alhamdulillah

Fast forward i got back home, performed ablution and stood in prayer, After the Takbir it was all tears, till salam. I was getting weak, I called onto "THE AHAD, AS-SAMAD" 'Ya Allah, I read Twins donot go beyound 38weeks, i am a day to 40weeks, i have been pardoned by doctors because both me and the babies are fine, Alhamdulillah, but they will not pardon us after 40 weeks, they will cut them out!. Show me your mercies YA RABB.....
I tilted to the chair and that was my sleep.

3rd september 2020
Got to the loo at 3:30am and there it was, the water had broken but contractions hasnt started, could this be labour😍😰, i was happy, i was anxious, i was scared, i was bold, i was ready, i wasnt ready, i was expecting, i was anticipating, and yes i was like all of this at the same time!!!!!only an expecting mother can explain this to you.

It was time for Fajr and contractions were getting intense, at this moment i knew i was in labour, and it is Fajr, Hubby has taken officer to his grandparents so he can give me 100% attention, even though we have gone through labour together the last time, this was new to us, this was a set of twins and we were very everything a feeling.

I said everything a prayer and went to the washroom, i needed to be sure if i owed fahr or not, thete was no blood so i had to pray fajr, othrrwise i risk it until the next 40days.

Oh my dear Allah, can i do it with these contractions, i was determined, perhaps my pains will be minimised if i push to say these Rakats with it.
In between two contractions i performed ablution and got the prayer mat.
Down in sujuud was a sharp long contraction.....hmmmmmm....i am stuck here, i cant get up until this session is over, but hey! This is the closest i can be to my creator, the greatest opportunity to tell him something, "Dear Allah, make this easy for me, safegaurd my daughters and i and grant us a smooth process'. 

To be continued............
