Hi dear:) you don’t need to worry because when the pain starts, at first it’ll be very infrequent.. maybe once every few hours, then gradually once an hour, then once every half an hour, once in 15 minutes, once in 10 minutes, then once in 5 minutes and so on. Because this is Singapore, your husband should definitely be able to reach home by the time your contractions are regular:) I was okay while being alone without my husband. And I could tell when I was going into labour, so he had a good heads up. Just make sure your husband’s always contactable and your hospital is all ready. In the unlikely situation that your contractions are 1 in 5 minutes, you’re in severe pain and you really can’t contact anyone, just dial 995 and get the ambulance to take you to the hospital. Do note the ambulance will take you to the nearest public hospital that has gynae facilities.
