Ninth Check-Up (7 February - 34 Weeks and 2 Day)
I was arranged for an Obstetric Follow-Up with Full Doppler Scan at another clinic assigned by our Gynae. The scan is to follow up from the last scan did when the baby was only 5 months. This scan measured the Fetal Measurements, Doppler (arteries), Amniotic Fluid and Position of my placenta.
The other results are okay except for my placenta which is still low-lying. My Gynae then told me that C-Sect is the only option now and told me to let her know if we have preferred date to do so. Since previous visits, we already prepared to do C-sect and have asked my Mother in-law to check on the good date and hence we have decided on early March (Week 38).
My baby is now 2.7kg and i gained a total of 4kg for my pregnancy.
Since my placenta is still low-lying and i still have spotting from my last admission to hospital, my Gynae then extended my Hospitalisation Leave till my arranged C-Sect date.
I felt bad that i am away from work for very long, i also hope that i am well and no problem with my pregnancy and could go back to work.
Now, i spend most of the times resting on bed to reduce my spotting as well as to ensure that my baby could be delivered at the agreed date (week 38). Please please, stay strong and healthy inside okay baby !!!
Delivery Booking
Since we have decided on the date of C-section, the Gynae has arranged to book the Delivery room and the doctors involved for the delivery on the chosen date I was given a Form to fill up and to be submitted to Admission Office in MAH in my next visit and was asked to sign forms on the risks involving C-Sect. I was also given a list of charges (ie doctors' fees, surcharges and etc). I was also asked to be admitted to MAH on midnight at 12am on the day of delivery with no food and drink as my operation is to be scheduled at 8.30am.
BIG Day (18 February - 36 Weeks)
We can make plan but GOD's purpose will pervail....especially for baby birth...
So despite planning to deliver in early March, the baby decided to share the birthday month with his father which is in February.
On 16 February morning, there was blood gushing out (similar to when girls are having their monthly period) when i was about to take my shower.
I was shocked, and kept calling my hubby while crying. It was the day when i plan to pack my hospital bag (lesson learnt..should have packed it earlier). We thought it will be just another few days stay in hospital like last month, hence we did not bring anything to hospital.
The moment my gynae checked on me, she said the baby will be delivered on that day. However since i already had my breakfast, the emergency c-sect cannot be done in the same morning, hence i have to wait till afternoon. Meanwhile i was waiting at the delivery suite (the place where all the mom-to-be resting while waiting for the baby to be delivered).
While waiting, i asked my hubby to go back home and packed necessary things for my hospitalization stay. When the time comes, i was being pushed into the operation room for the c-sect. My hubby cannot come in with me as it was emergency c-sect and i decided to only have half GA instead of full so i will know all the process.
The moment i heard my baby cried in the operating room, it was the best moment in my life.
He is the answer to our prayers after 4 years of marriage and after all the shocking events during my pregnancy. Happy and relieved that he is born healthy.
He is born at 2.825kg at 36 weeks, not bad for a baby whom mother has been on diet during pregnancy (my gynae asked me to refrain from sweet food, replace white rice with brown rice since i was in 2nd trimester).
