im so glad that i've reached 37weeks of gestation as of today!
was very worried that i will go into premature/preterm labour previously as i was feeling more tired this time round for this pregnancy.
perhaps its age.
perhaps its the toll of taking care of a very active toddler as compared to when i just lazed around and sleep all day when i was carrying yz.
anyway, now that at 37w, peanut is considered full term and i can expect myself to pop anytime soon!
went for routine check-up yesterday:
1) i've gained 15 kg so far! *tsk tsk*
2) not sure what peanut's weight is at the moment for gynea said it wont be that accurate so no point measuring. boo. i was really interested to know but i know he was right.
for yz was measured at approx. 3.2kg on the day we chose to induce him and he came out at 3.515kg the very same day. LOL.
3) amniotic fluid level is assessed to be at borderline level. will further assess during next week check-up.
if it's low, may need to go for induction at 38w provided i've started dilating.
this is similar to yz when i was asked to go on induction when he was 38w5d as i've dilated 1cm and aminiotic level was assessed to be low on 26.10.07!
4) peanut is already engaged! kinda surprised for yz only engaged himself during the delivery process and i thought for #2, the process of engagement will be later?
no wonder been feeling sharp pains around pelvic area and getting some lower back pains from last week.
if going by old wives tales, delivery may happen very soon once baby is engaged and going by the theory that #2 is normally earlier than the 1st one.
i hope this is not the case for me!
for hubbi is away for reservist the whole of this week. he can only book out and reach home late evening everyday. @_@
and he will fly to his camp early each morning at 6+am. :(
so for now, im superwoman/mum taking care of yz alone in the morning - making him milk, preparing himself for childcare and myself for work, and then sending him to childcare before driving to work myself!
haha. only for today lah. will be ta-baoing him to mum's place from tomorrow onwards.
really hard chore to handle himself without the husband in the morning!
hope peanut can guai guai stay inside my tum dum till hubbi book out for good this friday evening!
this morning got false alarm somemore. contractions that hurt and feel like the real thing!
was sitting alone in the living room timing them at7+am only to find that they taper off.
pui.
really unnecessary scare.
ok, gotta rest well for the rollercoaster mth to come when peanut arrives!
wish me stength and luck!
