The Eight Month - 35 Weeks
Last Monday we went for my wife check up. This time there was such a loooong queue at the clinic sampaikan me yg sgt penyabar ni pun dah bangun gi tanya nurse what’s going on, why aren’t we seeing the doctor yet although our appointment was supposed to be at 10.30am.
Finally our turn came. As I walked in the door, Dr Raja terus ckp, ‘Eh, yg ni kecik sgt pulak perut dia. Tapi you dah dekat nak deliver dah ni kan….”. Then when she scans my wife belly, she told us our baby is healthy, baby’s head is positioned down where it’s supposed to be. So even though the baby’s size is a bit small, everything else is fine, so there’s no need to worry. Our baby now weighs 2.1 kg, so he gained about –o.1 kg compared to last month. Mummy gained around 2 kg compared to last month. We are very disappointed because we planned to see our baby face tapi tak dapat dapat since last detailed scan. Next time perhaps.. or our baby want to do a surprise to us!
I do a research and found something interesting. On episiotomy, the doctor said it’s often practiced for first babies. Second one, not so much. On epidural pulak, the doc said, it’s up to you but they advised mother-to-be to look at the situation. Kalau time admitted to the hospital tu already 5-6 cm dialated, tak perlulah. Kalau induced, or kalau labour pain starts early ( i.e. 1-2 cm dialated pun dah sakit, labour process would take looong hours) it’s best to take the epidural. Sbb if not then after 12 – 24 hours kita dah takde energy nak push. Tapi kalau yang tahan sakit, cepat dilate and labour process mcm short, tak perlulah amik epidural. On the side effects pulak, the doc said medically takde side effects yg teruk but some people have the opinion that it will cause back pain. But in my opinion back pain tu could be caused by other things like your posture, too much bending during confinement, etc. sbb org yg tak ambik epidural pun ada yg have back pain.
So kesimpulannya I think I will take the advise la. Tgk keadaan mcmana when my wife in labour nanti. I also try to search about sunatkan baby. The doc said lagi bagus buat time baby, senang nak jaga and baby will recover very quickly. But for me, if my baby is a baby boy I will let him bersunat time besar sikit…which I want him to fell a thrill.. hehehe..
After this my wife appointments at the hospital is every week. I love coming for check ups because I can see the baby active on the screen. You know the feeling when the holidays/vacation is approaching; you’re so excited that even when you’re at work you feel like your “soul” dah pegi to that vacation place? That’s how my wife feels right now with 5 weeks to go till her due date. Malas dah nak pi keje!
