In the mood for love….

Tajuk takde kena mengena dengan entry hihi….

Saya sedang menunggu hari untuk mengeluarkan si kecik ni… aaaa tapi si kecik ni tak kecik mana la hihihihi…. Dua minggu lepas buat check up berat dia 2.5 kilo… gynae kata tak besar mana… acceptable la.. Macam yang dibincangkan sebelum ni…. gynae nak induce saya by 38 weeks

Dua hari lepas, jumpa gynae semula. Dia nak check and tentukan tarikh saya akan warded dan induce. Masa scan baby… gynae terkejut gila sbb berat baby 3.5++ kilo … Dalam masa 2 minggu boleh naik sampai 1 ++ kilo…??. huhuhu gynae siap ingat scanner dia rosak lagi… dok on-off and tukar setting… tapi masih camtu gak… kalau bertukar pun makin berat huwaaaaa….. Last2 gynae buat tvs… scan ikut bawah… hihi dia ckp… tataulah ni lemak baby ke lemak perut awak ni… hihihihi perut saya memang membesar dgn jayanya ngeeeee….. Scan ikut bawah pun sama… makin berat adalah…

Kalau dikira secara purata berat baby selama dua minggu ni.. seminggu naik lebih kurang 500gm.. tak mustahil smpai next week boleh jadi 4 kilo…  mungkin lebih….. ohhh lagi saya seram sejuk…  Jadi, gynae suggest.. by the time nak induce berat baby makin bertambah… dia suruh operate je….  tak nak amik risiko pada baby…. huhu berpinar2 gak mata masa dengar…

Gynae saya masa kat KL pernah inform saya, if masa due berat baby 3.8 and above… dia suggest go for operation je lah sbb takut ada complication lain… takut tulang bahu baby tersangkut masa nak keluar tu… ada kes retak and ada kes patah… huhuh mintak jauhla… kalau retak boleh bercantum semula.. tp kalau patah uhuhuhu sedih tau…. Makanya.. saya rasa kalo nak belah saya belahlah doktor…. asal baby saya selamat…

Jadi keputusannya… 23 Februari 2012…. saya akan warded ptg tu….. dan sebelah pagi 24 Februari 2012… berkemungkinan besar saya akan dibedah…. Kawan-kawan… doakan yang terbaik untuk kami ye…. huhu takut sebenarnya… tapi kenalah berlagak macho buat2 tak takut hehe….

Sekarang ni… set bersalin dah bertukar kepada shaklee (tetiba out of topic kekekeke)

Full Term

Your baby weighs close to 6.5 pounds / 2.8 kilograms and may be about 20 inches / 50 centimetres long from head to toe. Your baby’s head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity – surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for her growing legs and buttocks.

Many babies now have a full head of hair, with locks maybe around one inch / 2.5 centimetres long. Of course, some babies don’t have any hair at all.

Speaking of hair, most of the downy coat of lanugo that covered your baby from 26 weeks has disappeared, and so has most of the vernix caseosa, the whitish substance that also covers her. Your baby will swallow her lanugo and exterior coating, along with other secretions, and store them in her bowels. These will become your infant’s first bowel movement, a blackish waste called meconium.

Around now many women start worrying about whether they will know if they are in labour. Look no further than our labour and birth section.

36 weeks :)

Your baby is still gaining weight – about an ounce / 28 grams a day. She weighs nearly 6 pounds / 2.7 kilograms and is 19 inches / 45 centimetres long from head to toe.

You may begin to feel an increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lightening or engagement, and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch out a little – breathing and eating should become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable – some women say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. Also, you may still feel as if you need to go to the toilet all the time. Stock up on those last minute nutrients with our eating well guide.

The good news is that by the end of this week, your pregnancy will be full-term and you could give birth any day now. (Babies between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full-term – a baby born before 37 weeks is premature and after 42 is post-term.) At your weekly visit, your doctor may check to see if you’ve started dilating (when the cervix opens) and effacing (when the cervix thins). The doctor will also check what position the baby is in, in order to estimate how far the baby has dropped into the pelvis. This information will be entered into your maternity notes so that your doctor in will know the position of the baby when you go into labour.

35 weeks

Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds / 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches / 45 centimetres from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.

This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.

There’s much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You’ve probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds / 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don’t drink any less water – your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks such as tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.

Still undecided about a name? Try our baby namer for new ideas.

Your doctor will probably want to start seeing you every week until you give birth.

34 weeks

Your baby now weighs more than 4.7 pounds / 2.2 kilograms and is 18 inches / over 45 centimetres from top to toe. She’s filling out and getting rounder – she’ll need her fat layers later to regulate her body temperature.

If you don’t already talk to your baby, this is a good time to start – at 35 weeks herhearing is fully developed. Don’t feel ridiculous if you’re already chatting in baby talk. Some evidence shows that newborns pay closer attention to high-pitched tones.

If you’ve been nervous about going intopremature labour, you’ll be happy to know that 99 per cent of babies born at week 35 can survive outside the womb – and most have no major problems. Although your baby’s central nervous system is still maturing, her lungs are nearly fully developed by now.

Many women start to notice a tingling sensation or numbness in the pelvic region or pain as they walk. This may be caused by the pelvic joints loosening, ready for labour. If you’re terribly uncomfortable, mention it to your doctor and check out ourself-help tips.

33 weeks

Your baby now weighs about 4.2 pounds / 2 kilograms and measures approximately 17 inches / 44 centimetres from head to toe. Your baby should already be getting ready for birth by turning upside-down – his head should be pointing down.

Your doctor will be paying careful attention to your baby’s position in the coming weeks – some babies do decide to turn back round again.

Your baby’s skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby’s skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.

If you’re a first-time mother, your child’s head may move into the pelvis this week and press firmly against your cervix. (This happens for about half of all first-time mothers.) If you’re a second-time mum, you can expect this to happen a week before labour – and for some this won’t happen until the start of labour. Hoping to manage your labour naturally? Here’s all you need to know about natural pain relief.

You may notice that your feet and ankles are quite swollen by the end of the day. Water retention, also known as oedema, is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Your body – particularly your kidneys – and your baby need plenty of fluids, so drink up. If you suddenly feel swollen or puffy in your hands or face, however, call your doctor – it may be a sign of pre-eclampsia.

expecting a girl …. :)

Kalau siapa2 perasan ticker kat sebelah tu… memang dari seawal buat ticker tu lagi.. terasa sangat nak baby girl… makanya tiap kali scan bila gynae ckp most likely a girl… rasa ala2 seronok aje hehe…. Ramai yang kata mother instinct ni kebanyakannya tepat… ada kawan saya tiap kali scan doktor dia ckp girl… tapi hati dia tak nak mengiyakan… jauh sekali tak nak terima kalau baby girl… cuma hati tak mau percaya aje.. Hati dia kuat ckp baby tu baby boy… ntah dari mana dtgnya keyakinan tu dia sendiri pun tak tau…

Hakikatnya.. mana2 ibu yang mengandung.. akan terima girl atau boy… kan? asalkan baby sihat.. ibu pun sihat nak jaga baby… semua tu dah lebih dari cukup.. Berbalik pada cerita kawan saya tadi ~ bila deliver je.. memang baby tu baby boy :) … seronokla dia.. Dah nak masuk setahun pun hero dia tu hehe… tapi ada jugak berlaku instinct kurang tepat kan… biasalah tu :)

Esok dah masuk 33 week kandungan saya…. Tinggal lagi beberapa minggu aje nak cukup 9 bulan… Makin berdebar-debar… Makin tak sabar-sabar, nak habiskan this 9 miracle month dengan baik… Next week ada check up 34w.. rasa macam lama sgt tak tengok baby… rindu ! Tak taulah dia dah head down ke belum.. kdg2 rasa mcm dia dh pusing… sbb rasa keras bulat je kat bahagian bawah tu kan… tp kang bila pegang balik… dh tak rasa dh keras bulat tu… dh macam melintang plak kedudukannya hehe… takpelah.. duduk elok2 eh kat dlm tu :) ..Ada lagi masa kan…

Sekarang ni dia agak kurang gerak.. tak aktif mcm dulu… maybe sbb ruang dah semakin kecik.. tp ada waktunya aktif satu macam je… Bila dia senyap tu.. mulalah saya menyakat… baring kat simen.. ketuk2 perut.. bila dia respon, lega rasa hati..

Next week last check up.. lepas tu balik jb ~ yeay !! Brg semua dh siap (kes tak sbr2 nak balik hihi)

32 week = 8 months

Your baby now weighs approximately 3.75 pounds / 1.7 kilograms and is about 17 inches / 42 centimetres long from head to toe. Although his lungs won’t be fully developed until just before birth, your little one is inhaling amniotic fluid to exercise his lungs and practice breathing.

Some babies have a head of hair already, others have only a few wisps. Thick hair at birth doesn’t necessarily mean thick hair later on but children with fine hair in childhood usually have thinner hair in adulthood.

If your baby is a boy, his testicles should be descending from his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes however, one or both testicles won’t move into position until after birth. In two-thirds of all baby boys who have undescended testicles at birth, the condition corrects itself by the boy’s first birthday.

You’re probably gaining a pound / 450 grams a week, largely because your baby is likely to gain more than half his birthweight during the seven weeks before birth. Make sure you are eating well in these last few weeks.

30 and 31 weeks

31 weeks

Your baby’s arms, legs and body continue to fill out – and they are finally proportional in size to her head. She weighs about 3.3 pounds / 1.5 kilograms and looks more like a newborn. She measures about 16 inches / 41 centimetres from crown to toe.

You may notice your baby isn’t moving around as much. Don’t worry; she’s just running out of space in your uterus. As long as you can feel her squirming, you’ll know she’s just fine. Believe it or not, she still has plenty of growing to do. You can expect her to gain at least two more pounds / 900 grams before birth.

Your baby’s organs are continuing to mature and she is passing water from her bladder: good practice for the urinating she’ll do after she’s born. Soon you can wonder what your baby is wishing for – brain scans have shown that fetuses have periods of dream sleep around month eight.

You’ve probably gained three to four pounds / 1.3 to 1.8 kilograms this month. Gaining a pound / 450 grams a week is quite normal during the last trimester as your baby has a final growth spurt before birth.

30 weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your baby’s lungs and digestive tract are almost fully developed. While your baby may soon slow up growing in length (he measures about 15.7 inches / 40 centimetres from crown to toe by now), he will continue to gain weight until he’s born.

This week your baby continues to open and shut his eyes. He can probably see what’s going on in utero, distinguish light from dark and even track a light source. If you shine a light on your stomach, your baby may move his head to follow the light or even reach out to touch the moving glow. Some researchers think baring your stomach to light stimulates visual development. But don’t expect 20/20 vision when your baby is born – newborns can see a distance of only about 8 to 12 inches / 20 to 30 centimetres. (Children with normal vision don’t reach 20/20 vision until about age 7 to 9.) To complete the picture, your baby now has eyebrows and eyelashes.

A pint and a half / around a litre of amniotic fluid now surrounds your baby but that volume decreases as he gets bigger and has less room in your uterus. As you and the baby continue to grow, don’t be alarmed if you feel breathless, as if you can’t get enough air; it’s just your uterus pressing against your diaphragm. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. At about 34 weeks (or just before birth, if this is your second or third pregnancy), your baby’s head will move down into your pelvis as the baby gets into the right position for birth. That will make breathing and eating a lot easier.
