My gynae has finally "spoken"! During our visit this Mon, 26-Nov when Xiao J is 37 weeks, he gave us the TMC admission letter and told us to go hospital immediately if there is any labour sign (spotting, waterbag bursts). He also said that I *have* to monitor baby's movements, average 10 per day. 2-3 weeks ago, he didn't encourage me to do that all!
Xiao J is getting cuter by the day...haha, I know all mamas say the same about their baby! Can't help it, he's adorable when he wiggles inside my belly and I can feel it clearly now that he is awake, active and vigourous more than before. I especially can't resist his sudden *strong* kicks - he doesn't kick so often and when he does, it is powerful and always unexpected :)
His papa is now back in Hanoi for his job attachment training with a Japanese specialist. He left on Wed, 28-Nov and will return next Sat, 8-Dec. I'm praying he can return as scheduled. I'm also praying that he'll be present during my delivery. I've asked xiao J to co-operate with me so we can both wait for his papa to return before delivery. I also told xiao J to move distinctively now that I must make sure I get at least 10 movements per day. Must say he's been a good boy throughout my pregnancy and more so now that I'm nearing the finishing line.
It's getting more difficult to sleep at night, nearly impossible to get into a comfortable position. My left ribcage aches badly so I can only sleep on the right side. Sometimes hubby snores and made it even more disturbing for me to fall asleep, together with the usual toilet breaks. When I'd given up sleeping, I would stacked my pillows to sit-up through the night. Mostly when I'm too tired and starts to lie down and sleep, it would be morning and I've to wake up! Sometimes the belly feels so tight and heavy from the Braxton Hicks that I can only sit on the edge of the bed until it subsided.
I wonder if I'll be happy when I regain my sleep again after delivery or would I be too exhausted waking to feed and change his diapers that it would not make a difference at all?
