EARLIER THAN EXPECTED

So I just got back from my forth-nightly ante-natal check-up. Doc had one good look at my belly, had ultra-sound on the baby and she said, "ok lyna, your baby is engaged already." Imagine my surprise when this past 3 weeks, baby in belly has had a hard time turning as he was horizontal most of the time. I guess he must have finally managed to turn last night when I was asleep. So yes today, now I feel his 'kicks' under my ribcage. Doc also said the signs are there already. She told me I'm having contractions already but I told her I have pains but it comes and goes and it's tolerable a pain. So that means I've been having contractions since last few days! Now I'm confused which is braxton hicks which is real contractions :p adehhh...

So according to docs predictions and since this is already my 2nd pregnancy, 10th May is probably expected. So on the 10th, I will have to be checked into the labour room and be monitored. If nothing happens, than I'm allowed to go home. I told my doc of my intentions of having a normal birth without any drugs involved and she said not to worry. She's more worried if I have to go for c-sect instead which she's trying to avoid altogether. And I also mentioned to her not to induce the baby out. She said don't worry about anything we'll try go natural. Except for the epidural part, and looking from my previous pregnancy, she can't promise on that because she knows my tolerance to pain is a tad high :p I told her I'll try my best to tolerate! LOL

Baby is now 2.1kg so baby weight is just fine if I were to deliver next week, around less than 2.5kg. Again, she knows I can't expect a big baby since my belly is so small and compact. So doc said I will have a small baby and once the baby is delivered, it'll be put immediately on my chest and wrapped up to make him warm for a long period of time.

How am I feeling now? Honestly I am scared because I'm expected wayyy earlier than I myself predicted! I expected baby to come out after say...20th May and above. I just want baby to cook well and just nice and wanting to pass that 37weeks mark. But if baby decides to come out early, then I'm ok. Ni semua kuasa Allah and who am I to delay it? But baby please give mummy some little extra time as I have some minor stuffs to prepare for us! Sikitttt je lagi nak siapkan, ok!

So family and friends, please pray for me. I really want to have a normal and save delivery. I just need the strength to go through the ordeal because I am scared. Deep down inside my heart, I really can't wait to have my baby in my arms!

Officially today, my resting mode starts! Yay jadik queen ;)
