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.
