Week 38: Stuck in a holding pattern

Fetal development in pregnancy week 38:
As you know, you've arrived at the final leg of your pregnancy journey, and if you're still carrying your little love around, they've just about reached their birth weight (somewhere between 6 to 8 pounds is average depending on whether they're a boy or girl). There really isn't a lot to report on baby this week, so lets do a quick recount of where we're at: all internal organ systems are pretty much ready for the outside world, they've got their meconium stockpile building up (their first black baby poo), lots of healthy baby fat, a rapidly developing brain (that'll keep growing with them for years to come), and they've more or less reached official baby status-- all they need to do is "head out" and say hello to the rest of the world and especially their ready-to-pop momma.
And how's mom doing?
Hang in there momma, it's only a matter of time before the obnoxious and painful fake contractions you felt in your back, lower belly, and pelvic region will be replaced by real contractions... which are even more obnoxious and painful. You'll know when the real ones kick in because they're if you're feeling weird electrical tingles in your legs and inside your vagina, this would be none other than your not-so-little baby hitting various nerves as they settle into the pelvic area more intensely painful (woo!) and they spread over the entire uterus, through the lower back and into your pelvis.
If you're having trouble sleeping (which about 100% of women in this phase of pregnancy are), try to take little catnaps during the day, get one of those neato full-body pregnancy pillows, or at least lots of pillows that you can shove between your legs and under your belly to support your awkward shape more comfortably. Also, if you're feeling weird electrical tingles in your legs and inside your vagina, this would be none other than your not-so-little baby hitting various nerves as they settle into the pelvic area. If you're feeling sharp shooting pains instead of tingles, this would be your extra-evil-but-adorable baby pressing on your oh-so-very sensitive sciatic nerve. All we can recommend is some wincing, sitting down, and putting your feet up

and of cos, went to see Dr Adrain today..bb is at 2.8kg (mmm..a mere 100g increase from last week)..nonetheless, happy to note that his head is still down so chances of natural delivery is pretty high..Dr Adrain also passed me the pre-admission letter and informed me to monitor bb's movement everyday..(need to move @ least 10 times every day) & if water bag burst / contractions / bleeding, need to call him immediately..yesh, i have to be "ON STANDBY" anytime...*gulp* he wanted to give me MC to rest at home but i told him "no need, me on leave liaoz!!"
his answer " very good , must rest well and rem to monitor bb's movement ya =)"
so, for now, shall rest well, and wait for "THE MOMENT" !!!
