Week 38 Checkup @ 24th Jan

Today was strapped up and having CTG reading for 20mins...as usual...no signs..nothing...no contraction(which i more or less expected it... coz when i was carrying Raphael...also same..)

Then Dr Kek came in to check for bacterial and did some test...then check for dilation...

the surprising thing was that I am 2cm dilated!! wah! and she told me very confidently..."Its ready, anytime, when a real contraction kicks in...the baby can be delivered...in fact if u wan to induce now... it can be done.. But why now... we try to keep baby as long as possible to reduce jaundice and let the lung matured further..."

same old saying "let the baby decide when to come out"....

we were all surprised that its due ANYTIME...at first i was still thinking at most 1cm lar...wah...2cm is alot wor!!! 10cm can give birth liao leh!! wohoooo

now when i am walking...somehow duno issit physcologically thinking...keep feeling its coming out....yucks!!!

will i pass this week without anything? hehe..lets see!

Start of Week 37 - 12-Jan-2010

This week marks the start of my 37th week into pregnancy...Could feel alot of changes in myself...

Back-aching every now and then...having a hard time getting up from lying down position...walk abit my lower body feel alot of pressure.... feel  my tummy like drop down abit...hmmm...now can put 2-3fingers between breasts and tummy...

then see more discharge...wondering when will i offload this new darling and see him in person....

alot of movement recently...can feel him pushing when raphael is applying pressure to my tummy..like protesting...

Weight gain is horrible...dun wan to think about it liao...hahaaaa

I need to pack my hospital bag by this week...else really siao liao if i give birth anytime!

also trying hard to educate raphael that yes he is still my #1 love... and he must love Gabriel... =)

Wohooo...official countdown starts NOW! 21 days to go to my EDD!

Week 36 @ 3.113kg!!

Our little boy is growing very well despite mummy trying hard to diet as her weight seems to balloon!

For myself I am weighing at 78.6kg as @ Sat!!
Baby is 3.113kg wor! This is a good weight and Dr Kek reminded me to cut down on sugary food to prevent ah boy from getting too heavy!

Hehee... Will cut down on choc n snacks coz I am still hoping for a natural birth

When Dr Kek ask me if I had any preference: c sect or natural
I told her the best would b natural birth but if she advise against it I will follow her decision

She asked if any preference on dates again told her no as long as she tell me ready then I am ready... Placing absolute trust in her!

She told us that the boy looks like phael!! Look forward to seeing this new darling!

Another milestones!
