Ten Days and Counting

Ari ni aku check up utk Week 36+ di HPAN. All went very well. Aku gi ngan Mak aku, pukul 2.45 lg dah sampai. Dpt giliran no. 4 kali ni, so x yah tunggu lama2.

As usual, check urine x de problem. BP 126/86. Berat 76.6 kg. Masa scan baby x ngadap kitaorg, so nmpak blkg kepala je la, x nampak facial features dia yg cute tu mcm last time. Kedudukan dia mmg cephalic but still quite high for 36 weeks. Lom masuk terowong, kata Dr. Jom baby, kita masuk terowong soon?

Air ketuban still byk. Baby weighs a whopping 3.3 kg in comparison to 2.7 kg last check up. Quite big utk org Asia at 36 weeks, kata Dr. Dah eliminate dah possibility of diabetes. Hoho.. coming from ibu bapa baka melayu x de mix ni, kira semangat juga la baby yeh.. Dr pesan jgn mkn carbs byk sgt dah aku n kena gi exercise ptg2. Byk kan berjln. Okey... that's a change. Selama ni concern dia kat placenta, so x leh move sgt, nnt bleeding. Now that that issue has been resolved, kena byk kan berjln plak, supaya baby x jd big. Orait... getta sort things out ... But Alhamdulillah baby sihat....

Dr suh dtg lg in 10 days time. It looks like time will tell if Baby and I will be ready by then. Most likely induce, sbb Dr khuatir kalo2 baby gets too big if we wait until 40 weeks, kang kena c-sec plak, lain citernya. Ada 3 faktor kata dia yg boleh membawa komplikasi pada vaginal delivery. Satu, saiz tulang pelvik ibu. Dua, saiz baby. Tiga, kedudukan baby la sama ada dia mendongak ke langit, mengiring, atau menunduk spt sepatutnya. 'But we'll try our best for a normal birth', kata Dr.

At this point, I am excited, nervous, scared, all mixed in one. Mmg x sabar nak 'bergraduat', but at the same time tu, mmg sedia maklum la 'viva' tu bukannya senang. Berak sembelit pon x terhandle kdg2. I can only pray to Allah for the best utk both me n Baby and wait out until the time is here. May be I need to set a ticker, do you think?

Ten days... ten days ... ten days ... Pray for us yeah, everyone?
