Gynae Visit at 36 weeks!

We are pretty close to the delivery and seriously, I just couldn't wait for the grand day! I wanted to meet my baby boy so much! I can't wait to see him, I can't wait to cuddle him and I can't wait to give him my all ! 

Checkup was great, everything went so well and we got to see a healthy bub growing so well inside of me. Little boy is now 2.2kg, amniotic fluid is plenty, heartbeat is strong, baby's back is on the left of my tummy and he's facing the right side, so more kicks on the right side of tummy. Baby is still head down, which is a very good news and he's getting into the process of engage! And that explains the pressure that I feel everyday on the vagina bone, sometimes it hurts when I walk/lie down.. Braxton Hicks on and off, but it comes mostly at 12pm, during lunch time. 

 

 Our baby's strong heartbeat!

After the checkup, we decided to go on a 10 mins CTG to monitor the pattern of our baby's heartbeat. Because.... Last week, baby boy was not as active as usual and it created a little worry in me, so I decided to tell Dr that baby was not as active as last time and his kicks weren't as strong as before. So, he suggested that we do a 10 mins CTG to monitor the fetal heartbeat and from there, we will know if everything is ok. So, we were in the room next door, hooked up with two discs on my belly to monitor our baby's heartbeat.

We were glad that we did the CTG, at least we know our baby is still going strong.. his heartbeat is happy and consistent. Nothing to be alarmed of and we can go home!

Thank you Jesus!

Overall, we had a great 36 weeks checkup and the next checkup is scheduled on 38 weeks. And that is very near to our EDD! Oh dear... I'm so EXCITED! =)

Baby bump at 35 weeks 4 days!

 

Hello guys!! Do I look huge already? I feel so bloated and it's getting harder to walk. I would say I walk like a mama penguin now.. with my legs open wide while making steps... haha!

Overall, baby boy has been doing really great. We have 4 more weeks to go! And we are EXCITED! 

2 more weeks to full term and 4 more weeks to Hello Baby! I've already prepared myself mentally and emotionally, waiting for his grand arrival. I just couldn't wait to meet my little man!

 

Love you baby boy! Please continue growing!!  =)

A scare!

We are now hitting 34 weeks and you know when the time is near, you are trying to be very careful because one more month to go, you will be meeting your little one. But as much as you trying to be very careful, some how things won't go your way. And this is scary... I alsmot phobia of walking now , that I try to walk as slow as possible. And ensure that the floor is clear, that I won't miss any steps and fall.

The story went like this. I woke up on a Sunday morning, cooked and settled some house works before the little girl is awake. I completed everything that I should, and she was still sleeping, so I decided to mop the floor. Halfway mopping, she was crying cause nobody was in the room. So, I quickly mopped before I go and grab her. But, the floor was slippery and papppp... I fell! I was in shocked, pregnant woman fall down! This is really scary that I called Justin and he was a little panic as well. Thank God, I don't feel pain in my tummy neither do I have any bleeding/leaking. Everything was good, except for some bruises on my knee and some pain on my arm. At least there's no pain on my tummy. Thank you God for your protection!

After this fall, I have been monitoring our baby's movement regularly and me being a little paranoid or when my mind goes wild, I will be wondering if my baby is moving and kicking like usual. Even though my baby is moving and kicking, sometimes I still doubt, whether the kick is as hard as last time or mild kicks. To cast away all those worries, we prayed and decided to go for checkup the next day, to ensure that everything is fine.

So, off we went to the hospital for checkup the next day. Appointment was full and we are not in the waiting list as well. We decided to just hop into the hospital as early as 8am and hopefully Dr Paul arrived early that day. And he did! He arrived at 8am, Justin told him I fell and immediately, before waiting for the nurse to arrive, he quickly check on me.

Here's the updates on 34 weeks.
1) Baby is now 1.8kg! Yippiee!
2) Baby's heartbeat is strong!!
3) Baby is active!!
4) Baby is measuring right on track!!
5) Baby is growing well!
6) Amniotic fluid is great as well!

Basically, everything is perfectly fine and we do not have to worry anymore! It is all by His Grace and Blessings that we are all WELL! Thank you God!

 

Here's our little one at 34 weeks! =D

Gynae Visit at 32 Weeks

Are we there yet? We are pretty excited when we finally stepped into the 3rd trimester, and now as we are in our 32 weeks .. we know that we will be meeting our little guy soon. If little guy decided to come out one day earlier than EDD, just like his big sister, we have 8 more weeks to go and his birthday will be 18 May 2013. Same birthday month as mommy!


We had our follow up checkup with Dr Paul and once again, our heart is filled with thankfulness that our baby boy is growing so well! He's now 1.6kg, ample of amniotic fluid, tummy size still very small (as if I'm only 6 months pregnant), baby is active, heartbeat is great, and yes, we managed to have a view on our handsome baby, 3D view. My heart melted when I saw his handsome features on the screen, the eyes, nose, mouth, ears.. and his tiny little fingers cover his face saying that he's shy! Haha! I really can't wait to meet this little guy soon ..............


Gynae was pleased with everything and baby is still head down (very good news), same position when we had our checkup at 28 weeks. Placenta has already moved up, not blocking the birth canal. Everything is great, and this time will be another round of natural birth! Phewww... again, I would say it a joyful pain. I had done it once, and I can do it the 2nd time! =D


Little guy, daddy + mommy + big sister are all waiting for your grand entrance into this world and we will definitely dote you more than anything else!

 

Measuring the size of the abdomen ..

 

This is it!! Can you see the handsome features of our little guy? The two eyes, nose, mouth and he's lying on his side, side view.. so cute! I really really can't wait to meet my little boy! 

8 more weeks to go!! =D
