Week 39: Watermelon


Hi My little munchkin,

So this is really the last week and we will be fully baked!
It has been a weird 2 weeks. Week 38's visit at the gynae saw us pondering over your CTG scan. Perhaps it was because you or mummy was too hungry, you slept through half the whole CTG scan showing no activity. Nurse got worried, gynae tried to wake you up to which you finally decided to show us some peaks in the CTG. I think mummy had to lay on the hard bed for a good 45 mins.
Fortunately, you are still faring well. Still around 3kg since the last scan was 4 days ago, you appear to have moved further down the pelvic. We only managed to take a shot of you ear. Yup, Ear. :p

After that, I started feeling butt pain, and couldn't really walk properly for a couple of days. The pain then developed into this achy feel where it felt like you were pushing through. In fact, I was almost thinking you might be out soon.

Thereafter, for the whole week, I had been having cramps. Over the weekend, I was even ready to go shower and get to the hospital as the contractions appear to be coming in on regular waves. After drinking milo made by Daddy, the contractions just stopped. And I'm still here.

I'm so glad that although you are still incubating in the tummy, you have been such a good girl listening to daddy and mummy and waiting for the gynae to be back, (today, btw!). It's another week of countdown, we really hope you arrive in style, exactly on your EDD.

Perhaps, we'll be able to share on our birth story, which Mummy knows will be a smooth one, on our next post!

Love ya sweetheart,
Daddy & Mummy
