Went for Doppler test

and OBGY said, "I will do a c-section this Thursday." Husband & I looking at each other. Before we could recover from the shock, he added, "no, I will do it today."

And I underwent a c-section at 6pm on the 27th of October 2009.

Bad headache & almost night long contractions

Had sleepless night. Went downstairs, had two slices of bread, switched on the tv & logged on to laptop till 7am. Sent an email to the bosses at 4am stating my current situation and that I'm on medical leave.

Time for appointment at 9.30am for Doppler test.

Had contraction at work yesterday. As usual, I was trying to withhold pain (something I do best). Freaked out my fellow colleagues who persuaded me to go get me checked.

Went to see mu OBYG after work. OBGY said, "I'm not quite happy with the way you look. Your pressure is high." Was taken to the labour room for observation & to monitor contraction. He then said a c-section is on the cards as I'm not dilated though the baby is engaged & is pushing. That's the cause of the headache. The longest the OBGY willing to wait was till next week. Was given a jab to strenghten the baby's lungs as he has yet to complete week 37. Any further delay on my side will lead to seizure if the pressure goes any higher. That freaked me out. Contraction was present but with interval. Was asked to come back.

Eight months & counting

Baby shopping 99.9% done. Thank goodness, did most of it by the 6th/7th month. I don't think I could afford to shop at my present condition.

Did I mention about my one sided pelvic pain? The pain, apparently is caused by the expanding ligament which assist during childbirth. The pain is unbearable the most when I walk after sitting/lying down for long. Imagine getting out of the car everyday to/fro work.

In spite of all the supposed 'drawbacks', I'm cherishing every moment of my pregnancy. I can't wait to see my baby. :-)

I have chosen the name long before I met my husband. Now, my husband insist I call the baby with the chosen name. I love my husband. :-)

The baby's movement is slightly different now that he is much bigger.
It’s quite obvious he is moving his limbs from one point to the other. It does not mean my tummy is not wombling like before when he does he is aggressive.

Fancy wasabi washing up your throat?

When that happens, you face difficulties in breathing. Not to mention the physical awareness that something IS indeed pushing up your ribcage...

It does not help, when it is coupled with heartburn...Fancy having wasabi washing up your esophagus-stomach up that is?

I look very different

A swollen nose doesn't help much!!

Confusion

To follow LMP (pregnancy) or scan (baby) week? Either way, both are showing similar due date but the OBG has added another 10 days to the date? So which to follow?

I'm week 34/32 as of this week. I have decided on week 32.

Time to catch up with fellow bloggers

Fluttering butterfly

Felt it onset of four months onwards

Feet swollen like a puffer fish

In spite of that, had the misfortune to hear, "It only starts swelling 8th months onwards. Mine did not swell at all" Did I ask?

Me looking at my feet, 'Perhaps, my feet has put on some weight? Where the weight changes every hour or so?'

Beats me!

Feet started swelling from 4 months onwards. I can be seated, walking or standing. It does not matter. It swells regardless of what I do. Backache started from 3 months onwards. Cannot stand for long.

Certain people are just not born with it

Why do anyone in their right mind want to know if the baby is girl or a boy only to 'answer' me and themselves, 'it does not matter as long as the baby is born healthy. It's even more irksome, yes, the same beings (I had this coming many times over) add on with 'What you do think?' before the self answer.

Don't ask me if I have scanned.
Secondly, don't ask me what do I think if you are going to answer on my behalf.

The best happened this morning. Same scenario. But with a slight twist. The twist or whatever you may call it had no relevance to what she intended to say. The only good that came out of it-she realised it too. At least someone did!

Gut feeling

...it's a boy. Sort of felt it since the early stages of pregnancy
