Yest, 8th Oct'08- Was my e.bro's birthday!! Happy Birthday Zacheus and Zayden's daddy!! ;D
Well went for my routine check-up and of cos meaning LONG WAITING TIME AGAIN! Always feel good to see bb again and to know her health-being etc but we really hate to wait at the clinic....always bloody and freaking slow & long waiting time!! ;( *Boooo...* Wat to do leh... But to go to nearby fast-food restaurants, sit down, grabbed some snacks and drinks, read some mag etc to pass time! Tats wat we usually do when we went for check-ups! ;p
Vain me cam-whorm @ home while waiting for Dar A to get ready! ;p
Ok I shall fast fwd now..... ;) Dearest bb is doing well and so is dearest mummy!! *keke* As Dr Koh was trying to scan her to get her est weight now etc.... but alas she was moving ard and her positioning wasn't v.good so it was hard to derive at her weight measurements etc.... But Dr estimated tat her weight now is between 2.8kg-3kg now @ 37wk...which is ideal and wat I hoped for.. ;) Bb Kaelyn is still at her head down position but she's not very low or engaged at all, so gynae predicted that my delivery wun be too soon oso.... Hmmm guess I have to do more walking, climbing, squatting etc to make her goes lower and hopefully engaged soon in another 2-3wks time! =) My mum has been nagging at me oso....asking me to go for walks etc and getting my ass off the couch etc... ;p But other than sleeping for hrs, dun think I spent long hrs nua-ing on bed or sofa watching tv programs oso mah... Haiz...Anyway will try to do more walking etc lah... ;)
And Dr was saying that quite hard to scan bb's face now due to her position and as bb grows and goes head down, it's becoming more difficult to scan and see bb's facial expressions le... *Sian* Then he shld have scan bb's face for us to see in the initial periods mah while it's still within the ability to scan... Haiz..ok watever lah... As long as bb is good and healthy can le, wat more can I asked for... =) So it's weekly check-up from next wk onwards...
Really hope bb be good and makes her appearance by wk39 or so.... ;)
Anyway here bb's development @ 37wk:
How your baby's growing:Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.See what your baby looks like this week.
How your life's changing:
Braxton Hicks contractions may be coming more frequently now and may last longer and be more uncomfortable. You might also notice an increase in vaginal discharge. If you see some "bloody show" (mucus tinged with a tiny amount of blood) in the toilet or in your undies, labor is probably a few days away — or less. (If you have heavier spotting or bleeding, call your caregiver immediately.) Also be sure to ask your caregiver about the results of your Group B strep culture. That way, if the result isn't yet on your chart when you get to the hospital or birth center, you'll be able to give the staff there a timely heads-up if you need antibiotics.It may be harder than ever to get comfortable enough to sleep well at night. If you can, take it easy through the day — this may be your last chance to do so for quite a while. Keep monitoring your baby's movements, too, and let your caregiver know immediately if you notice a decrease. Though her quarters are getting cozy, she should still be as active as before.While you're sleeping, you're likely to have some intense dreams. Anxiety both about labor and about becoming a parent can fuel a lot of strange flights of unconscious fancy.
Okay here's my baby bump @ 37wk! ;)
Comparison between 32wk & 37wk! =)
