35th Week Checkup

Hola!

Assalamualaikum!

This week, dah masuk 35 weeks pregnant. Another 5 more weeks to go! Yeay! I hope that I will beranak earlier than expected. Bukan tak sabaq nak jadi mak tapi tak larat dah, berat aih perut nie tapi I know for sure that I'm gonna miss this little thing moving inside me.

So just came back from my checkup. My weight, 65kg! An increase of 1kg in 2 weeks and a total of 11.5kg increase! I've never felt so fat in my life! Fundal height, measuring an extra 1cm, which maybe means I still have a big baby. Baby's heart rate, normal. I know my baby is head down already, been like that since week 28 but finally I asked the nurse where is the baby's butt lol! The baby's been moving like crazy so I can't identify which part and what part is pushing my belly out. But now I know and can feel the difference hihihi.

Starting from now, I will have to do weekly checkups. My last checkup here will be next week and after that I'm off to me hometown continuing the checkup there. I can't believe that I just have 5 weeks left. I'm so scared and anxious at the same time.

I've been watching documentaries on child birth and reading a lot on this topic. The best I guess is One Born Every Minute. I just love that! I wish in Malaysia we could give birth like that. I'm not sure how they do it here tapi macam kena baring je. Like in the documentaries that I watch, we can be in any position that we are comfortable with. And I read and also learned in another documentary that vertical birth will make the mother deliver better compared to the lying down style. Seriously, The Business of Being Born, good one to watch. Here's the link (http://youtu.be/KvljyvU_ZGE). 

So that is one way for me to get prepared for delivery. I also read that just thinking positive and keeping cool during the process will also help. I hope I can do that. I'm just afraid that it'll hurt too much that I lose my cool and all my positiveness disappears lol. But I think I can do it. If I can I want a natural birth without epidurals or any pain relief meds.

I also have a few friends that are in the same boat! Liza is just waiting for her time to pop! I think she's 38 weeks this week. Rina is 31 weeks. Shikin Kamal I'm not sure, maybe a couple weeks later than I am. But basically, I can't wait to see all our babies! Since Liza is about to pop, I hope everything goes well for her, moga-moga dipermudahkan lah proses bersalin dia. Aamiin....

Apa lagi nak merepek ha?

No idea la pulop. Tadi ingat macam-macam nak tulih.

Takpe lah, till next time.

Adios!
