Week 37 - Maternity Check-up

Date:  4 Apr 2012 (Wed) Appointment Time: 9:30 am
Waiting Time: 20 mins

Blood pressure: 70/110
Weight Gain: 0 kg
Urine: normal

Baby heart beat: 154 bps
Baby weigh: will measure next week
Amniotic fluid level: decreased, but still at the safe zone.
Position: engaged, head turned side way (not facing my back bone), hopefully his head will be facing posterior soon, that will be the most optimum position for natural birth.

After the ultrasound session, Dr Paul spent some time to explain to me and hubby how the baby will  move through the birth canal during a natural birth. He was also very kind to tell me that I can call him anytime, even in the middle of the night if I suspect (1st time mother!) I am experiencing contraction, spotting, leaking of amniotic fluid or any other sign of labour. Anyway, he did not see any clear sign of labour yet, so most likely I will see him again for another 1 or 2 weekly check-up before the labour.

Baby, mummy's tummy is still the safest shelter for you in the whole wide universe.  If you think you need more time to prepare yourself, go ahead, take your time. Mum and dad just want you to be healthy and comfortable. Do not rush. By the way, if can, please avoid coming out on 11 Apr, it will be a national public holiday, which means charges will be doubled for any form of delivery! Hahah....please be a co-operative good baby!
