My wife complained of pains early in the morning today. The doctor advised us to admit her to the hospital.

She has been taken into the labour room and before going in we were told the delivery could happen anytime.

I was asked to go out and wait. This post is from the rear seat of the car in the parking lot!

Having mixed feelings right now. I am tense and feeling extremely wretched to make my wife go through these pains while waitiing to get back to be with her! And my cute little child! :)  

Thanks for all the wishes in the previous post. I shall reply when time and feelings permit.

    Hang in there! The waiting is an experience in itself. One has to go through it. I was lucky to be with my wife during our first. But unfortunately for the second I was pacing up and down!

    Wish you all the very best… It’s a pleasantly strange feeling, is it not?

    [...] My wife was having pains in the morning of April 3rd. We visited a doctor who asked us to get her admitted in the hospital, but did not specify when the delivery would happen. So, an elder suggested that we go home and just freshen up and leave. It was 8.45AM then. If she had stopped with that I would have been really impressed with her ability to think practically. But she added the next sentence which really tested my patience. “From 9:00AM to 10.30AM is rahukaalam. We shall leave home only after that”. You are not supposed to step out of your house during rahukaalam. (#3) I was surprised I didn’t shout. Here, we have a lady suffering from pain and was on the brink of delivery and we have someone telling me about rahukaalam. I haven’t yet come across anything more ridiculously impractical way of looking at life. But somehow we convinced the elder to take my wife to hospital before 9.00AM itself without freshening up. My wife was in the labour room at 10.45AM!   [...]
