27th January 2016
Alrighty so we had our first check up of the year and Baby D was 29 weeks & 1 day on that date.
Which means he's probably somewhere in his 7th month & that also means that it won't be long before we're gonna welcome him into the family, Inshaallah.
Really appreciate that my mama managed to accompany me despite her feeling rather unwell; Guess she was just as excited as I was to meet Baby D :)
I was instructed to fast from midnight until the time that I had to report for the 'Glucose Test' at 9am where they took a sample of my blood and then I had to finish up this super duper sweet drink which made me wanna vomit a few times during the attempt. Lols! :P
Basically, a glucose test is a routine test during pregnancy that checks on a pregnant woman's blood glucose (sugar) level.
This test is used to diagnose gestational diabetes. *Touch wood*
After which, I still had to fast for the next 2 hours or so before they took another sample of my blood. I swear I was feeling kinda cranky at the thought of that but because I recalled that I'll be seeing Baby D in a while during the scan, it was all good ^.^
During the scan, Baby D was very active as usual - Kicking and punching the whole time. My mama was smiling from ear to ear ofcourse :)
Everything about Baby D seemed normal according to the sonographer & we also confirmed that Baby D is a boy for the 2nd time hehehe ;)
Another good news is that my ovarian cyst has shrunken into 4cm instead of the previous 6cm. I really hope it will go away, or else I'll definitely remove it after giving birth.
About an hour later, I headed to the clinic for them to get a sample of my blood once again. I really hope that they won't be calling me back with any bad news.
*fingers crossed*
Then I met the gynae and had asked for a photocopy of all my documents, as well as a travel memo in case I needed to prove any airline that I was fit to fly in these months to come.
As you know if you'd read my previous posts, I'm planning to give birth in Brunei where my husband is based at.
Thing is, there's no confirmation that I'm gonna get the green light from the SAF anytime soon for me to make my move there, eventhough they said that it's supposed to be in mid-February.
Honestly, I don't mind giving birth here in Singapore cos our families will be around to take care of me and Didi will also be able to come back when he's needed.
The only sad thing to me is that Didi won't be around for the next few months until I give birth and with that, he also only has 2 weeks to accompany me here before he has to go back to Brunei again.
Whatever it is, Allah knows what's best for us. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and eventhough we've planned so much, it is Him who will determine what is to happen next.
I just pray that He'll keep our family safe wherever we are and may Baby D grow strong & healthy day by day. Ameen. xoxo
