Updates to my medical appointment

An update to my latest medical appointment on last Thurs.

It wont be long before baby arrives....because bb is now 2.5kg. Dr Chan is suprised, cos baby should averagly weigh at 2kg at that point in time around 34wks. It is consisdered as the max of the max of her scale (she always has a bar chart on her ultrascan scan videoscreen).

She mentioned that she jus worried that if the baby gets too big, its be messy and difficult for me to manage. The ideal weight for me to be manageable should be around 3-3.2kg. Hence, she believed that the ideal period for me to give birth should be around 35wks to 38wks...omg, 35wks means the subsequent week (which is today onwards actually). Means, I got to be on standby, it can be anytime. I better clear my work in the office faster and alert my boss. She believed that I defintely should not be holding till 40wks, which is by end of Mar(initial edd).

She has not told me what and who should I contact when I feel the pain, she say she will tell me in my next apt,whcih is at 36wks), but if I happen to feel any pain, can go down to tmc emergency section immediately.

I dont think bb be coming out at 35wks, in fact 35wks still considered as premature...only after 36wks, then is considered as safer bah....

Its pretty contradicting, on one hand, I hope that I have a chubby baby, but on the other hand, if i really keep holding on despite the dr advice to give birth, i got to bear the consequences...I decided to seek the dr advice when is the ideal time to give birth..which i feel there a high tendency for inducement for me. Hope to have more update during my next week appointment.

I can really feel the baby movement very aggressively yesterday, I have a strong feeling that bb seems to be arranging her position and might be engaging...dr chan did mentioned that bb has turned down, and likely to be engage by this week.Getting more and more nervous....

I had a bad leg cramp yesterday night...its so terrible that my muscle ache this morning...Usually I shout for my hubby when I had leg cramp, but yesterday encounters is the worst...He usually will try to bend my leg to stretch my muscle and its okie very shortly...however, after he did the same thing yesterday, it doesnt cure...the cramp came again...it only stop after some time. Can feel the muscle ache when I got up in the morning..couldnt sleep well after the cramp...cos I kept feeling that the cramp seems to be coming bk again..

Today my left leg swell..its swelling very badly..that I feel the last two toes seems to be numb..the leg look like "zhu jiao:"..haaaa

Despite that, I still went out today...I went to hockhua with my mum to buy tonics for my confinement, then proceed to redhill to pray,then redhill market for lunch, then ikea to buy my computer chair,rug and a pretty flower wall lamp for my baby...last stop is my gdma house.

What a long day...
