"Pump" me Up !!
TUES (9th Sept) : went for my gynae checkup and realised that bb is only about 2.34kg..& Dr Adrain was kinda concerned that bb wasn't growing much, compared to 2 weeks ago @ 2.26kg..was worried that my placenta was not working hard enough to provide the nutrients to bb..so immediately he scheduled me for a checkup @ TMC on Thurs morning & I need to bring the report back to him on Thurs afternoon..
and if the report shows that my placenta is 'not working hard enough', we would need to induce the baby @ week 37 (he turned to his calender)..and said "..which will be next week!"
gosh..this was the first time, i left the clinic kinda dejected..oh no..my bb is not growing much..induce next week??..suddenly i have cold feet !!!
WED (10th Sept) : back to office,told my boss..and we were kinda in a frenzy mode..if its next week..jia-lat? handover not done yet.. in the end, i worked till about 8pm on wed (soo busy..) Dar couldn't take leave to accompany me to TMC, luckily my sis is on leave so went over to mum's place to sleep (cos need to be @ TMC before 8.30am!)
Thurs (11th Sept) : i was the 1st patient..(tok about KS) did the Obstetric f/up with full doppler test & guess what, the sonographer was the same as the one who did my detailled scan (at week 20).. from her scan, bb is about 2.36kg (which din differ too much from Dr Adrain's), did all sorts of measurement, blood flow test..also showed us bb's face (little ashton's mouth was in this constant sucking motion..very cute !!) then the sonographer needed to do some bone density check..as she was about to check little ashton's genitals..we saw his little fingers 'protecting his modesty' , in the end, he only showed us his scrotum..the sonographer & us had a good laugh..little ashton is a shy boy ya..
went back to my gynae's clinic @ 1.30pm..was very nervous..the report showed that everything was ok, the blood flow, the placenta are all normal..but he's still concerned with the bb's weight..no need to induce but i'm put on "close monitoring"..
told me to eat more : junk food, ice-cream, durians..mmmmm...
so as i'm typing, i'm enjoying my yummilious durian platter.

"baby baby, pls try to absorb as much as possible ya..i'm looking forward to Good News next tues when i see you again =) "
