BB 12th ultrasonic scan - week 38

Had another weekly check up today.
BB is healthy and weighted about 3kg.
Today the weighing scale for mommy didn't work right. I am 65.6kg.... went down.
Nurse said it could be the weighing machine problem. Consulted Dr, he say it is perfectly fine.
So today had another cervix check. It's 0.

Well, then just let bb decides when she wanna come into this world la. :)
Maybe she likes it inside, wanna pass CNY, eat CNY good foods first. :)

BB 11th ultrasonic scan - week 37

Finally the long awaited week 37 arrived. I had Dr's appointment this time at the new Hospital - Tropicana Medical, at Kota Damansara.
The uptown HQ of TMC Women's specialist have been moved here, apparently TMC's investment.

This week, as long awaited is the time where Dr will check for cervix opening, roughly gauge when BB can come out and feel mommy's internal bone to see if natural birth is suitable.

A sonographer (Ms Yong) scanned bb with the ultrasound first and provided us a pic of bb. :) She examined BB's heart rate, structural and BB's weight as what Dr normally does. I was told BB's weight is 3.1kg.
After that, I was asked to remain on the bed, wait for Dr to do the internal check.
So Dr came, and first he pressed on both side of my tummy and feel BB. He say BB's is already engaged. Next, it was time for him to put in his fingers..... with hands covered with glove, and applied some lubricant, one finger poked into my vagina..... OUCH!!!!!!! Then next, entered the 2nd finger.... ARGGGHH!!!! He slowly moved his fingers around to feel internally, then removed.
I could bear the pain of this still, just uncomfortable because of the the rubber glove friction. I did not shout. :)

Dr commented that cervix is still close, and still tight........ uhhh...... so we asked if BB would be arriving anytime soon. His answer was no. Not so soon as 1cm also not open. Perhaps after CNY.
well..... then let's wait for BB to decide when she wanna come out then. :P Also, I should be fit for natural delivery.

Dr adviced to walk more. In fact I thought I had walked more than enough. :(
The day before check up, i had some cramp internally on the lower abdomen. I was actually thinking it could be time. But after the check up, I just laughed at myself. hehe.... Also, Dr said that if it's cramp or pain, it's the whole abdomen, not just the lower part. So this time the cramp could be due to BB's position, etc but nothing to worry about.

So next appointment from now is weekly. So i'm seeing Dr again on 17thJan. Will be back to Tropicana Hospital as well. Nearer....... And so a question to Dr, if he would be checking down there every check up now on, he said he would prefer so to gauge better. My eyes were big looking at him. So he added on, I can refuse if I'm not feeling easy. hehe.

Thanks A/E!

Water in my feet........

Where does the water go today ?
I observed that my feet is not so big today and is seeing the normal size of my feet. Maybe not the size seen pre-water-retention-days, but it's definitely not so much like a elephant leg today. :)
SIL and colleague told me before that when feet are observed to be smaller, water retention is lesser, then it is quite a sign that labour would be soon. Is this true ?????

BB 10th ultrasonic scan - week 35

I initially thought this week's check up would be week 36, but Dr's counting is only week 35.
Somehow counting down is so slow and dragging. :(
Dr would only do checks on cervix and etc on week 37, which is going to be 13thJan. By then Dr would advice if BB would arrive earlier, etc.
This week too, Dr did not print out the scan. He said bb is big now and does not fit into the scan pic. Anyway, the scan shows BB is 3.0kg this week. It's kinda big increase and Dr say the scan could be not accurate as my tummy doesn't look that bb is that big yet.

Baby Stroller

After waiting for some sponsors over sometime, I couldn't wait long, and got one our own.
Surveyed most models and brands available here and only have some in mind, eg Combi, SweetCherry and PegPerego.
For SweetCherry, it's kinda stable, big and with reversible handle. But heavy.
For Combi, it's light and Daddy says they are not stable since it's quite flimsy and shaky. Making some metal noises when being shaken and the wheels are small too. Not too sure if all models are the same for Combi but the one we went to was the Combi shop in MidV.
PegPerego's designs is very nice. But too bad, it doesn't come with reversible handle although it is lightweighted and easy to fold.
Before we decided to go ahead with SweetCherry, we came across another brand, which is Capella, a brand from Korea. It's only available in ToyRUs or online. Most Singaporean shops would have this brand. The model available in ToyRUs are S226 and S228. Then we found another model - Deluxe in a baby shop near to Jusco entrance in One Utama. After some thoughts we went ahead with S228 model. It has 0.3G shock absorbance, 6.2kg, reversible handle, full coverage canopy and double folding. The wheels size is medium - acceptable. This enables the stroller to be folded and remain standing. We got it online through a online store in Johor. And it was a good deal too. Got it at RM569 + Rm10 delivery. If we get from ToyRUs, the price is RM749. The only difference is the fabric imprint. Online store has a Capella logo, but ToyRUs has a mickey ears printing. :)
Oh, the little baby carrier which I got from my SIL is able to fit nicely on the stroller too. :)
