Today is the much awaited visit after waiting for 2 weeks to see babeebee. Mama's weight only +0.6kg to 72.9kg! The 2 weeks of strict diet finally paid off... Mama was telling papa that i thought pregnant ladies can have the excuse to eat more but somehow mama seems to be eating less and more restrictive of diet when pregnant. It's ok! Mama will eat all my favourite carrot cake, pratas, teh tarik and all the fatty food after babeebee is out! Most importantly is babeebee is safe and sound.
Despite mama's effort, babeebee's weight has estimated to balloon from 2.7kg 2 weeks ago to 3.5kg today, +0.8kg within 2 weeks. Dr Tham again kept repeating big head of 35cm and big stomach and everything big. Doctor is worried because babeebee is now in posterior position, whereby you are head down and facing mama's tummy, with your back against mama's back. This position makes labor longer and more painful and more difficult to come out from the birth canal. Given babeebee's dua tao, doctor now suggests mama and papa to choose C sect instead of natural induce as babeebee now is in posterior position versus last visit where you were still in anterior position.
Doctor also said mama's tummy looks huge because there is still a lot of water in mama's water bag and that's also why babeebee still can wiggle and move and change your position so often. No wonder mama feels so much movement from you especially every night, when mama read from internet that by now movement should be limited and need to count the kicks to ensure baby is safe. Notti babeebee move so much like 100 times a night until mama lost my sleep so mama need not count the kicks whereby minimally should have 10 kicks for an hour.
Doctor has scheduled another scan from the scan dept to be doubly sure of babeebee's size this Saturday, and he will also see us and scan us using his clinic's scan to have a confirmation whether you are indeed fatty bom bom. So we will get to see you again in a few days' time!! Meanwhile stay inside mama's tummy ok? With the ongoing contractions and big tummy, mama is unable to go out myself in the afternoon anymore as walking is increasingly difficult. Will see you this Sat for the scan scan! See you babeebee, be good ah!

Week 37: First check-in into hospital
It's week 37! This has been an exciting week because mama and papa got a scare that babeebee is coming out and we checked ourselves into the hospital at night at 10 plus. It all happened that mama been having contractions the whole day. It is manageable and not painful so mama and papa didnt really think much about it. At night when mama was going to shower after watching the usual running man show with papa, mama noticed there were blood stains in mama's underwear and got a scare. In the baby class and internet research, it was taught that that should be the mucus plug closing the cervix opening protecting babeebee all these months. When that comes off, it means labor is impending. Quickly informed papa and we both we were nervous and decided to check ourselves to the hospital for a check to be sure. Turns out that yes mama is having contractions but am still 0cm dilated. The nice nurse told us that doctor said we can either induce labor today since having contractions already and since already here, or we can go back after the 1hr fetal check and wait for more painful contractions then come back. After discussing we decided to go home and let babeebee comes out when you want to... babeebee be guai and come when you are ready ok?
Luckily, everything is ready for you already babeebee. Granny been diligently washing and sunning all your clothes and linens and they are all nicely folded back into your little green drawer already. The smelly piglets and bearie also agreed to shower to welcome you. Your baby cot has also arrived and we will put on the fresh linens when you are back home with mama and papa ok?
This week, papa and mama also went to an event with mama's cousins lucky mama won a second prize! Won a sealy bedsheets worth $750. Mama is not sure if it is really worth that much.. but happy that won something! We went for some catch up after that and had a group picture taken. Last group picture was 7 years ago when mama was just 25 years old!
Papa and mama are going to see you again coming Monday and we are excited to know how you have grown and of cos hear from Dr what he says about baby's progress or if he still prefers to set a date for inducing you. See you!
