Smlm was our monthly check-up....praise to Allah, she's growing right on schedule! Her weight and height is just wht the doctor had expected. Dr. Paul did a 4D scan yesterday and we got to see her chubby lil' cheek and her pouty lil' lips...ikut sape lah agaknye?? At 1st when Dr. Paul was showing us the 4D scan, i could not make out the view....but nk control macho punye psl, i went like "haaa....yes, i see her", walhal x nmpk pun. So when the Dr. Paul left the examining table, i quickly call Syed and said "I tak nmpk la..." sounding all squeaky. haha....so, hubby took my hand and started showing which are her legs, arms, eyes and cheek...."Ooo...now i see her!" i sounded so much like Rachel (in Friends episode when she went for her 1st ultrasound scan and could not see the foetus, so Ross had to show it to her)....haha! Thank god for hubby!
Byk gak soalan yg kitaorg tanye kat doctor. Ye lar, tinggal 10-11 weeks je lg pun. Antara questions yg kitaorg tanye were:
- Birth Plan - will the doctor honour if we were to come up with our own birth plan? And Dr. Paul assured us they will try to fully honour it unless there are some changes during the birth itself. Aku pun br dgr psl birth plan nih.
- Breastfeeding friendly environment - I had informed Dr. Paul of my intention to fully breastfeed our baby (jika diizinkan Allah). He assured us tht PCMC is a breastfeeding friendly hospital but dia ckp jugak, yg it also requires some sacrifice and hardwork from both of the parents. He thn gave us the breastfeeding nurse expert no. so tht we may call her and discuss further about it.
- Jaundice - kitaorg tanye is there anything tht i could take and do now, to lower the risk of the baby getting jaundice. Dr.Paul said tht just take healthy food but still there is no guarantee whether the baby akan kena jaundice ke x. Kiranye mcm nasib2 jugak la....sometime ade yg kena, sometime ade yg x kena lgsg...
- Natural birth - actually nih ade skali included dlm birth plan. During my 6th month, doctor did mentioned yg dia risau tht i might have to go for c-sec if i had gained more weight and the baby jd lg besar. My heart sank when he said tht as i was determined to do it naturally. So this time kitaorg discuss and we've made it clear tht i would like to give birth naturally, unless if there is any condition tht either the baby or me are in danger, thn c-sec is an option. Dr. Paul agreed....
With my baby bump getting bigger, i've been getting some awful remarks from some ppl.....kadang2 rs sentap sgt2. A lady at my office dgn selambanye ckp (she literally yelled, actually)..."waahh, semakin gemuk!"....I know B. Melayu may not be her mother tongue....but she should HOLD her freakin' tongue! Sabar je la! Another incident was when i went to do my pedicure 2 days ago. While doing my nails, i guess the girl wanted to make a friendly conversation la. She asked "Are you married?"....so, i just showed her my baby bump....and thn she said "Oh! Tht one, baby ar?? So u're not fat la??"...adoooii!! Rs nk sumbat je kaki ni dlm mulut dia! Bengong sungguh! Tht night bila hubby blk, terus citer smpi nk nangis.....but u know husbands....they always know to say the right words to cool you down :)...hehe...i know i married him for a reason ;).
Anyway, baby is moving a lot right now esp. time mlm. The doctor said as i'm getting closer to full term, the baby will move even more. Best sgt rs nye bila baby gerak2.....i know tht's one of the things tht i'm gonna miss most lps give birth nnt :).
