34th week checkup & scan

2nd March 2016

Ola! It's been 2 weeks since our last checkup and so it's Baby D's 34th week & 1 day today.

He's been kicking up a storm in my tummy recently - Day & night!

It does hurt once in a while when he kicks me on my ribs or stretches out using his elbows.

Thing is, I keep going to the toilet because his head is constantly pressing on my bladder! Haha :P

Yes, the good news is that his head is finally at the bottom in a Cephalic position as compared to the previous scan that we had where he was in the Breech position.

A Cephalic position or head-first position as seen on this picture, is a situation at childbirth where the fetus is in a longitudinal lie and the head enters the pelvis first. Fingers-crossed, I hope that I can have a normal delivery when the time comes. ^.^

During the scan, Baby D wasn't facing up so I couldn't see his face this time.

He was fidgeting around as usual and I managed to confirm once again that Baby D is a boy hahaha :P

He weighs 2.48kgs currently so I'm guessing that he'd be at least 3kgs if not more, by the time he comes out.

Plus I've gained around 15kgs thus far. 

I started off at 59kgs & now I'm at 73.8kgs hehehe :D

Well, I've got a few more weeks left to enjoy this pregnancy with awesome food before the month-long 'Pantang' starts..

And I've not packed my hospital bag, although most of the baby stuff has been bought and organized in my room.

I really need to do the packing before it's too late cos I guess at this point, labour can happen at any time..

Also, I finally bought the 'Perineal Gel' from Mothercare cos I've been watching Youtube videos of experienced mommies who swore that massaging your perineal area with it would prevent from much tearing to happen during delivery.

At a glance, the Mothercare Perineal Gel has been specially formulated with olive oil and calendula to soften and moisturize the perineal area, helping to prepare for stretching during childbirth.

Last but not least, I do feel really empty & lonely without my husband around. 

Wish he was here to share this wonderful experience with me, especially during this last stretch.

I've been an emotional wreck recently, guess it's just the hormones lah..

And I'm grateful that my family has been totally supportive & caring & giving..not forgetting my in-laws as well. Alhamdulillah.

Till next time, xoxo.
