Baby D's 32nd Week Checkup

i17th February 2016

Ola! It was Baby D's check up earlier today and this time my mama & in-laws were there to accompany me :)

It's his 32nd week and 2 days but this time there was no scanning done, only checking of his heartbeat and current position by the gynae.

During the previous check up on his 29th week, Baby D was in a 'Breech Position', which means that his bottom/legs were positioned on my uterus.

The gynae had told me not to worry about it but to do some exercises instead, so as to encourage my baby to change into a 'Head Down Position.'

According to the gynae, baby D is currently head down when she pressed my tummy as she tried to locate him. Alhamdulillah.

I also complained to the gynae about having difficulty standing up and walking recently. My pubic bone area hurts so bad that I'm walking much slower now and it's so hard to wear my bottoms! :(

So ofcourse I had googled about this before and it turned out that what I'm going through is either called 'Pelvic Girdle Pain' or 'Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction'.

Also according to the gynae, this is common during pregnancy cos this may be caused by the pressure of the baby's weight or because of relaxed pelvic joints so I'd have to consume painkillers if the pain gets out of hand.

Just for sharing purposes, this is where it hurts - My pubic joint: 

Then I also enquired at the Admissions about the prices for the different types of wards in KKH.

I'm currently a subsidised patient so I should be taking the B2+ ward by default which means it's an airconditioned ward shared by 5 patients.

Didi & I were planning to get either an A1 or B1 ward instead, which also means I'd have to switch into becoming a private patient. First step, choose the gynae I want and then confirm which ward I would like to stay in & these are the current prices at KKH:

We'll see how things goes..I have a few more weeks to decide so not to worry ^.^

Last but not least, the 4 of us headed to Kamalas Restaurant to makan and we had so much to talk about that we didn't realize we were there for almost 3 hours! Hehe good times with the family. Alhamdulillah <3
