38wks
I went for the scan on the 29th October 2008.
I was hoping and praying that bbTara will not grow too big (like she did for the past few wks...)
Although I knew I alrd had trouble carrying her in my tummy. My right butt hurts when I walk.
Anyway, the gynae measured and told me, 'wow, ur baby is beyond the formula alrd, look the number of weeks is asterix against ur bb weight now' and the truth is, bbTara weighs 3.8kg on my 38wks.
The irony thing is, I did not put on any weight during the last two weeks, yet, bbTara put on 800gms. I panicked....Look, if we are to wait till full term, she might put on somemore fats, and there is a high chance that she will pass the 4kg mark.
SO, gynae say, 'well, let's induce u if u are ok', and I asked, 'when', so, he said, 'tonite.'
HOW CAN????
first of all, we are not prepared, bbTara is in no danger (I am), and I have an impt meeting the next morning.
So, we said, 'can we do it on 31st October instead?'
'Up to u' he said, so he wrote the conclusion on my hospital admission form '1.11.08'
The arrangement was for me to admit on the 31st Oct, 12mn, where a tablet will be inserted to soften my cervix, and then, the next day 8am-9am, I shall be on drip to be induced.Period.
That's it.
On the other hand, we are giving bbTara 2 days grace to surrender herself (naturally).
Now, we have a date. For the positive side, we know we can settle our unfinished stuff before I go into labour.
The next two days, we had dinner on our way at Brewbakers agn, and also met up with my MIL to do some last min shopping for bbTara's home clothings and had dinner at the Soup Restaurant.
I also had 1 session of coconut juice at East Coast hawker centre.
I am not sure if it helps to 'clean up' bbTara when she's born, but anyway,.....no harm trying.
=)
The countdown begins.....
