Hey ya baby girl! Mommy thought of writing a little bit about u since mommy can't sleep yet..
Mommy went to see doctor yesterday and u were 3kgs at 38 weeks already! Mommy is at the stage where I have to go see doctor weekly to see how you are progressing along n to see if u r coming out anytime this week or next week kinda thing.. But doctor told mommy that u won't be out earlier than the edd as this is because my cervix is still tightly shut. The doctor did a membrane sweep. Membrane sweeping means obstetrician placing a finger just inside the cervix and making a circular, sweeping movement to separate the membranes from the cervix. It was quite a painful experience for me that I almost teared. Then I was thinking to myself, just this small matter I'm already feeling the pain to the extend that I almost have tears coming out. What if real labor comes? I think I'm going to cry, yell n faint or something along the lines like that.. This made me feel worse n scared of labor day!
So since doctor have checked that my cervix is still tightly shut, he said u won't be early.. You will either be on time or late... Next week doctor will do another membrane sweep n he is hoping to open my cervix to at least 4cm before my real labor comes so that I wont have a long, tiring n traumatizing labor experience.. I think I'm gonna hate doctor's visit from now on cause the membrane sweeping is really painful! It made me feel sore n uncomfortable the whole night.
Mommy is fine with you coming out late or early.. You take your time.. Just as long as you are ready, healthy n actively kicking inside, u can come out whenever you are ready k.. Even though mommy has so much pain n aches with you growing rapidly inside, i think i could still stand n bear it for another 3 weeks max? But try not to gain more weight alright? You have been constant in gaining weight.. U gain exactly 200 grams each week! Everytime I go see the doctor, u again 200 grams consistently each week! I cannot imagine how big you'll be when u finally comes out! If u come out in 2 weeks time, u will probably weigh like 3.4kgs!
Now mommy walks like a grandma. I cannot stand too long or else my pelvis would feel sore n painful from your weight on my pelvis.. If I sit too long n when I try to get up, my back bone n tail bone will have the crack feeling n pain n aches.. Basically I have pain aches everywhere.. Each step i walk, i will feel pain n sore either from my back or pelvis.. Its your weight that im carrying thats y i feel all these pains n sore.. Like just the other day when mommy was rushing to the toilet after a movie at the cinema, I was walking really fast cause I really need to pee n cannot hold it in anymore, that short distance of fast pace walking cause mommy's calves to sore the next day.. It feels like i went jogging the day before n the after effect of jogging is sore calves.. I am not complaining or blaming u.. Remember that.. I love you enough to feel its all worth it to have all these pains for u.. :) but I'm writing this down to remember my experience of being heavily pregnant at this stage.. :) Make me think twice of having a second baby.. I might want a second baby but not for another 3 years perhaps? 3 years gap among siblings is a good gap I suppose..
Anyways, remember that mommy loves you very much! Come out whenever u are ready n be nice to me during labor.. Will write to you again soon if there's new update about you..
