We were on the way to ISKCON in Boston. We were on the Mass pike; suddenly M said she is not feeling any movements. I said let’s wait for an hour. Generally it’s like 3-7 kicks in an hour, which is normal and she said she hasn't felt anything. We were all scared. BTW, M's mom is also here. Anyway, M called the doctor's office, and in the mean time I took the next exit and went in the shop for orange juice, generally which makes the baby active. We were waiting in the parking lot for the doctor's call back. And the doc said, since she is 38 weeks pregnant, it would be in difficult for the doc to suggest anything, so he directed her to the hospital. We ran to the hospital, which was 30 miles from where we were and would take us almost 45 minutes. We were all in panicked shocked state. Everybody was silent as hell. As if somebody would drop the pin and we were waiting for it to hear that. Pin drop silence. And then Mom said at least put on some music guys, and we started talking generally, trying to divert M's mind, and I changed the highways. And then the GPS dramatically increased the ETA from 15 minutes to 20 minutes. I took the wrong direction on the same highway. Adding on to the worry. M said Saurabh u failed. I would be calling 9-1-1 next time.
So we reached hospital and by the time the attendant attached the machine and starting monitoring the fetal movements and contractions, M was alright. She said everything seems normal and we were good to go. We were out in 20 minutes.
With all that drill, we learnt quite a few things.
• Keep the diaper bag in the car
• keep M's bag in the car
• Keep the baby car seat in the car.
• Always carry orange juice in the car.
