36 weeks and 7th Appointment

Diam tak diam dah 7x appointment di UKMSC.

Diam tak diam dah masuk 36 minggu.

Appointment pada 17 May 2016.

Hari Selasa sbb Jumaat sebelumnya doktor takde.

Ibu tak masuk office pun.

Mmg niat nak minta MC je kat doktor.

Jadi, kul 11.30am, ayah ambil ibu kat rumah.

Then shoot to UKMSC.

Tak makan dulu pun. 

Tengok2 belum pukul 2ptg doktor dah ada.

Dan doktor panggil masuk.

Ibu orang no. 2.

Eh. Okay sgt lah kan.

Cam biasa, doktor scan.

Tgk itu ini, semua pun okay. Baby pun dah engaged kat bawah.

Anak ibu dah 3kg doktor kata. 

Wow! Huhuhu... 

Tapi takpe. Ibu tak kesah pun. Lagi ibu suka sbb berani sket ibu nak angkat2 anak ibu ni nanti. Kan?

Lepas tu doktor booking tarikh utk ibu ceaser.

Jadi, confirm lah ibu kena ceaser pada 1 Jun 2016.

Tak lama dah baby.

Wiii... baby behave okay.

Jangan ada emergency tau. Tak lama je lagi kita nak jumpa.

Oh. Mmg ibu teruja.

Okay. Meh tgk perkembangan anak  ibu plak.

18 Mei 2016 - 36 minggu.

Oleh kerana baby dah masuk 3kg. Dah engaged. Makanya mmg ibu rasa berat kat area bawah tu.

Paling scary masa nak bangun dari tidur.

Tapi takpe. Tak lama je lagi pun.

Nanti mesti ibu merindui saat ni semua.

Ibu bersyukur sangat sbb ibu dapat rasai semua ni.

Alhamdulillah.

How your baby's growing

Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds and is more than 18 1/2 inches long (about the size of a head of romaine lettuce). She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.

36 weeks: Your baby is about the size of a head of romaine lettuce

At the end of this week, your baby will be considered "early term." (Full-term is 39 to 40 weeks. Babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term, 41 weeks is late term, and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely your baby is already head-down. But if not, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an external cephalic version (ECV). That's a fancy way of saying that your practitioner will apply pressure to your abdomen to try to manipulate your baby into a head-down position.

Head: Your baby is probably in a head-down position by now, which is optimal for a smooth delivery, and the head may be dropping lower into your pelvis.

Uterus: Your Braxton Hicks contractions may be a little more frequent now.
