Tummy of 37weeks 1days Gestation age

2 Aug 08 scan (37 weeks 2days gestation age)
Baby is still very active as usual, her every moves and rubbing against my skin make me painful especially the pelvic area, Dr Khi said is very normal, cause her move pressing my pelvic, making me having a sharp pain. I am so worry that she will burst the waterbag. Haha!
Baby weight is now 2.8kg, Dr Khi said the weight is ok. Water level, heartbeat and blood flow all ok. Dr Khi wants to do a VE again, I asked her whether the VE will make me dilated even faster. She smile and said that if she wants or I want, she can do it. Haha! I faster replied her "No no I don't want" haha! She said she will try to be gentle. And it is 1.5cm dilated now and baby has engaged. Were told to take note of the labour signs, if there is any pain, bleed or water, don't have to call her just straight away admit.
And my strep test result finally is ok, no more bacteria after taking multiple course of antibiotic. But I still worry so requested to test once again to ensure it really cleared.



26 July 08 scan (36weeks 2days gestation age)
In a week time, baby gained more than 300g -a good weight gain to 2.5kg. Still underweight but not so bad. Everything is fine. Checked that I am already 1cm dilated. She said may deliver anytime, asking me to prepare. She asked me whether I have been having contraction. I replied that I had been having frequent contraction -tummy tightening since I'm 6 months pregnancy.
Did a CTG and I'm having real contraction already, she smile at me and said that my pain tolerance is high that I couldn't feel the pain at all.
I told her my concerns; new maid is not here yet, my temp staff is not here yet too and baby is not yet 37weeks (full term).
So hoping baby won't come out so soon.
Asked her way to prevent early delivery and she asked me not to overwork, not to walk too much anymore.

Hubby and his family, have been helping alot in taking care Amabel, they have been helping me bathe, wash the clothes and clean her poo, so I don't have to squat so much anymore.
And I am surprise that hubby trying to help clean her poo too, he never dare to smell or handle those solid, but this time without me having to yell at him for help, Instead he did it very willingly.
Really thankful to them.


I still continue cooking for Amabel as usual but not every meals. If in-law house is cooking extra for the kids, Amabel will have their food instead or sometime adult food. But will choose dishes for her to eat. No choice, got to release abit on her food, cause I really don't have much energy to cook for her every meals since most of the days I still returning back to work for half day. Really not much time for me to cook every meal for her too. And due to the frequent contraction, I hardly can walk long. Walk a few steps, my leg is aching already, cannot really climb up stairs also, so hubby alway drive the car to the ground floor so I don't have to climb up the stair to the carpark. And my movement is super slow now due to the contraction and I don't dare to walk to fast also, worrying that it will make me to be in labour faster.



19 July 08 scan (35weeks 2days gestation age)
Baby is fine but her weight gain weren't enough. Baby is only 2.14kg - underweight. Dr Khi said if in another 1 week, baby weight gain is still so little. It might be a sign that my placenta is not providing enough nutrient to the baby, hence, she advise to deliver once hitted 37weeks.
She asked me to eat more meat and try to sleep on my left side more so the blood flow to the baby is better also. Did a CTG, everything is ok.

Hubby faster called up father-in-law, requesting him to cook more meat for me after the visit.
He insisted me to eat on time cause the past few weeks, because of the maid issue and without the maid period, I have not been having proper meals.
And I also started to drink pregnancy milk twice a day, last time too busy to make a cup and drink. Now cannot be lazy anymore.
