Had my last checkup at Dr Ang's clinic. Baby estimated weight at 3.1kg (seems to shrink from 3.2kg last week?) Anyway it's just an estimation so im not that worried, just hope that Yan An will be at least 3kg when borned coz Zq was borned at 3.3kg, rather cuddable size :)
Okay, baby not engaged yet and head circumference seems to grow bigger also.. So my chances of natural delivery is even slimmer.. Upon considering all the factors and risks, we had decided an elective c-section with epidural to deliver Yan An on 23 May 2009. We did not consult any Shifu on this, just studied the Lunar Calendar and some webbies to make sure that the day and hour of operation is good and not "clashing" with any family members..
Pray that everything goes well and i will be able to recover fast! So excited and look forward to meet my little boy soon! :)

Gynae checkup @ week 37
Visited both Dr Paul Tseng and Dr Ang today. Reason for being visited both doctors is because i wish to have more advices on my wish and feasibility to have VBAC for this delivery. Dear was not around to accompany me to the checkups, but im lucky to have my parents, my younger sis and Zq by my side... :)
These are what the doctors commented upon the scannings (same views for both):
- Both estimated baby's size at 3.2kg.
- Both said baby is not engaged yet.
- Both commented baby will not pop that soon.
Some differ views:
- Dr Tseng estimated baby's head circumference at 34.5cm. Dr Ang estimated at 36cm.
- Dr Tseng mentioned "still can try for natural" though baby's head circumference is his biggest concern. Dr Ang told me straightaway "do not waste the effort and take unecessarily risk", he suggested a c-section scheduled this or next week.
- Dr Ang did VE and said my cervix still tight, no sign of dilation.
So im rather puzzled over the best decision to make. I need to discuss with hubby and decide what's the best or less risk for baby and me. Another factor that bothering me is the umbilical cord around baby's neck, though it maybe common but i still feel uneasy, baby may get destress in the process of trial of natural birth. And im rather disappointed to hear that baby is not engaged yet, which means he is likely stay in my tummy longer and his head & size will keep growing bigger and my chance of natural delivery will be lower.

One more week...
hubby will back from Beijing. Counting down to the day...
I have been praying hard that Yan An will stay safe in my tummy till Papa's return. Feeling so heavy and breatheless recently... Yan An has been a very good boy all the while so i believe he will "cooperate" with Mama & Papa this time round as well... Love you so much my little boy... :)

Oh-oh, Ah Gong back home already... I better stop plucking the leaves!He has been saying this - Dog dog "ngai ngai ngai" recently coz my mama has been teaching him to say "dog dog 来来来" but he cant pronounce properly :p
He has been trying hard to catch the attention of our neighbour's dog, but it is such a lazy dog so it totally oblivious of Zq's callings.. Poor boy... But i love to hear he say this "ngai ngai ngai", so cute la! :)
