Its the day....

The day have come... 28th June 2009... however.. no sight of my lil HBB....
My dear lil girl is too comfy in the tummy...listening and dancing to Kenny G pieces while I surf the net!

While I have occassional cramps and prob BH... I dont think its a sign of her wantign to come out... Since Im still doing my usual chores..

I had washed my piloow cases n protector since I woke up at 7 this morning.
Walked over to NTUC for some grocery as well as for BF w Big Mac...
Yes Grocery! I intended to cook some (quite a few) thing for today.. Planned to make bird nest to keep so that I can eat tomorrow if I pop today... papaya fish soup to drink to get ready my 'milk production', white fungus with papaya dessert for today since I probably got some left over papaya. Lunch will be fry mee tai mak as big mac and I are sick of outside food already.
Also I think he prob will be eating alot of outside food for the nxt 1 mth.. I surely do want him to eat somethg homely 1st... I dun wan to neglect his tummy =p

I hope all goes well.... I hope I hope.... If I realy pop by 1st july... it goes to show my instinct right from the start (6 yrs ago) was very strong already... cos I already foresee I will have a 1st july (or somehwere ard thr) baby. I keep having the vision since then of a double promotion for big mac... I duno if it comes true anot thou....
we shall see.....

A rather funny(I feel its funny lar) incident tis morning at NTUC.. was looking for the carrot cake but cant find so I ask 1 of the auntie working thr wher is it placed. Auntie was very kind, offered to show mi where it is placed despite she is busy re stocking the fresh food in the fridge...
And she keep asking me to be careful of the tummy (cos quite a bit of ppl thr).. then she was saying: ur tummy v cute hor.. so small... must b a boy hor....
HAHAHAHAa today is the popping day liao.... still got ppl feel tummy is very small and its a boy LOL... its quite funny I thought...
suddenly again I was tinking will HBB turn out to be a boy? haaa
good thg is ppl all tink tummy is small... so means aft popping I wun hav much fat tummy left? *keep finger cross*

Meanwhile... its nothg but eat, play n sleep for myself before a brand new chapter of our lives start.... with a lil cutie terror hahaaa

12th and Last Gynae Visit at Week 39

We last seen Prof Tee 10 days ago... and he mentioned today will be the last visit..

Ok.. weigh 1st... 62.2kg.. an increase of 300g fr last week...

The wait was short.. I din even have to wait in fact...

Actually the org appt was in aftnoon but cos I wanted to go join Big Mac at his office for his promo ceremony.. and so I chg to nite clinic.. and who knows nurse fr TPS called in morning n said I can go earlier.. like 6ish.. oh ok...



Seems like the gynae need to perform soem surgery and so..lucky I wasnt that late else I prob need to wait 100 yrs for him haaa... thankfully... all these visits I do not have to wait fr him to deliver babies n etc... phew



Checking on dilation... He said im 1cm dilated (ONLY??!!!)

no sight of HBB coming out... and since the EDD is this sunday... He suggested that I have to induce HBB out by weds morning... Sigh....

He say check in at 0730hours on that day... have LIGHT bf before I go... wah lau.. light bf? wat if I get too hungry later on?? grrr...



I hope by tues nite HBB will auto show willingness to come out. at least dun ahv to induce rite? I hate the idea of inducing since the chance of naturaly birth is only 50% if done via inducing... and the contraction is much more painful... which might just dash my hopes of gg epidural free..sigh



She is about 3 to 3.1kg as of the this visit... good weight I guess even if its just an estimation...



Big Mac keep asking HBB to come out soon.. LOL.. bet he cant wait to have sleepless nite huh? hehee

11th Gynae Visit at week 38

My dear lil HBb is still comfortably in my womb...
With the 11th visit... she weighs appx 2.9kg, up from 2.8kg last week. Myself.. I top the scale of 61.9kg. .up from 61.7 kg.

Big Mac did not acc mi for the check up yesterday as he was having some meeting.. and last min DUTY.. grrr...
I was worried becos supposed to do VE and I heard its painful like siao... some ppl say got cramps n bleeding after VE.. ekkkks...
Prof Tee did the VE.. and ehhh ok not pain till wan die but its painful alrite!
I did not have cramps .. luckily... But he said cervix not ripen yet.. meaning not open yet.. haiz... means gotto wait for thing to happen.. he predicted that I wun pop tis week.. and say see mi nxt week...

Strep B test cleared.. no need anti biotics during labour.. YIPEE!

I was blur.. I tot he seeing me on nxt mon.. onli to realise its weds... werid huh.. mayb he presumed my cervgix realy take a longer time to dilate bah... I hope everythign goes smoothly nxt visit as he said its gg to be the last visit.. I hope for some dilation at least... else if induce... I will b v stress... Hope for natural dilation......

Wonder when this little fella wanna come out...

Pelvic Pain

Previously I had bad pelvic injury due to work.. and it took me a great deal of time to recover.. onn off th epains come back.. so when I was in my 20 odd weeks.. I had the same pain.. I dismissed it as an old injury...
Seems like I was wrong... It wasnt.. More like its due to the weight of HBB this time round...
Prob due to past hisotry there fore with a bit more weight.. My body or rather my pelvic begin to feel the strain...

Anyway I had actualy nt put much tots or worry bout the pain .. no complain either.. since my previous pain was far much worse than this.. Just that I will have problem walking.. getting off bed/chair.. putting on my pants n such... and turning myself on bed...

Last week after constant nudging from Big Mac I went back for my foot reflex again.. The nxt day while I was in bed.. I thought I could manoeuvre easily..weird.. I even jump off the bed to 'test' my pain... NO PAIN!
Surprised.. I told Big Mac bout it... and he attributted the recovery to the massage i did the day before... The recovery did not last long thou... aft 3 days.. By chance.. I think I strain my pelvic again.. no thanx to Big Mac! and my pain was back...

Today I had another round of foot reflex.. and oh well.. I realised... the pain is gone again! how cool!??!!?!

I hope the recovery will last longer this time round thou....

1 more day before Big Mc is back... Little HBB misses papa!!

Turn Turn Turn

Ever since the check up knowing my dear little girl is facing the right side.. I been 'nagging' at her to turn haha... Constantly doing my pelvic turn to make sure she find her way to engagement too.

Funnily.. this morning when I woke up... I notice I can feel her movement on my left as well... ahh did she turn? haaa I dunno.. I hope so!
I have to keep giving praise to the little one.. so that she will be encouraged to turn better n get engaged... surely she understand my praise n encouragement hehe

And today I do feel that tummy seems much diff.. a diff feel.. but Im not sure what...

With Big MAc away on his cruise again till friday.. we r left alone at home again once more.
I am beginning to pack our hospital bag.. packing little girl's clothes meant for her discharge.. I cant decide which to bring.. as I was afraid the rompers will hurt her little umbrilical cord.. and i dun hav pretty 2 pcs clothing for her for the moment.. and obvously Im gg to buy no more as she have far more than enuff clothes!

Today there is a confirm case of H1N1 in SG.... Quite worried that orange alert will come on... if that happens I heard Big Mac might not be able to stay with me in hospital. On top of that onli 1 nominated visitor is allowed. If that realy happened.. I told Big Mac Im gg to down grade to 4 bedder as no point having the 1 bedder.. after all it will means 4 bedder have lesser visitor n I dun have to be afraid of disturbance rite? And save munny! Pros n cons... I duno... haiz.. this flu thgy is getting on our nerves!

I wish for little girl to be obedient... and get engaged soon... she is free to come out after next tuesday... aft my maternity photo shoot haha

Mummy cant wait to see u!! I bet papa too!!!! We Love you!!

9th Gynae Visit @ week 35

Today is the 9th visit!!
Prof tee assured me the moment I sat down.. that if HBB wants to come out now.. she is going to be safe.. I was like Duhz... now? isnt it a bit too early? haha.. I always tot at least 37 weeks.. then again gotto trust the expert rite? since he is quite a pro and confident doctor.. but still.. nono.. HBB dun come 1st.. cos mama yet to take maternity shoots hehee... my shoots are nxt tues.. and so.... pls pop after that hee

Did the usual scan... head not engaged yet.. still head down.. she is facing the right side..meaning she is sleeping on her left.. I think she been in such position for very long.. at least few weeks... cos i always feel her limbs on my right hehe.. she is getting cosy inside I bet...

Weighing about 2.3kg now... she gain about 500g for the past 3 weeks... she's of average growth I guess.. . thous Big mac say she is small! oh well... she just a baby ok.. and we dun need her to be overly big inc ase mama here have a hard time pushing her out hehe.. so long as she is healthy!!!
Also i guess the average weight gain is prob due to my not so good appetite... but I am trying to eat nutritious food to beef her up a mere mere bit...
at least I know.. safe to eat durian now haha

Oh yes... I weight 61.1 kg now.. gain 1.6kg since 3 weeks ago.. I think I gained more tis 3 weeks as compared to the previous... like wat the others say... we bloom fast during the last few weeks...

Now.. I am trying hard to get HBB to get engaged... I wonder when it will be... many ??? now as to when she will wan to come out n etc... I better pack all my thing n settle everything soon.... time bomb ticking!!

Seeing gynae again in 2 weeks time!
