on reaching the clinic, the nurse looked a bit shocked 2c us... apparently they had mistakenly written my appt as nxt week... she concocted a super duper sweet drink 4me (the glucose water)... tasted too sweet 4 my liking, but jus wanna finish it up quickly, so as to get it over n done wif... aft dat, took my weight, which increased another 2kg since last week's visit... so in total, hv gained 19kg, think gonna hv a hard hard time shedding the excess weight aft delivery...
checked wif nurse on the glucose test procedure, n was informed dat me nid to stay @ the clinic for 2hrs aft taking the glucose water, then hv my blood samples taken for a test by Dr Lui as well as 2b sent to the lab for a more detailed test... results wil onli b known nxt week... Dr Lui shld b calling me to inform me of the lab test results n whether my glucose level is of any concern... hv heard fr frenz n colligs dat inducing is v v painful... kiping my fingers crossed...
anyway, Dr Lui did the usual checks on my tummy n baby Charlotte... she is now engaged, n in a v gd position for delivery... he showed us the position of her head on ultrasound n said he's v pleased wif her position n she is helping mummy alot... hee! so my constant talking to her realli helps! wil continue to talk to her... heehee! whn Dr Lui showed us on ultrasound, n poked my tummy whr her head was engaged, she responded n moved, as if in protest @ why he poked her... so cute! Dr Lui oso discussed wif us wat he would do during delivery n agreed wif our choice of nt using epidural unless me realli couldn't take the pain... she is nw 3.3kg (estimated) n he predicted she may weigh 3.5kg on delivery...
as baby Charlotte is now engaged, he did an inspection of whether my cervix had dilated... nope, hadn't dilated yet... but he did warn could b anytime n to continue monitoring baby Charlotte's movements... so exciting n actively counting down to 12 more daes...
