week 40 and moving towards overdue!

Hihi,

I am still hanging around leh.. Today went for my week 40 check up.. and mentally prepared that gyane will asked me to be admitted today or tomorrow.. Did the CTG checks..

Princess J's heartbeat is normal and, what do you expect? active as usual! keke.. to my surprise, i finally noticed peaks on a more regular basis under the contractions section between 60- 100... looking good right?

After that, gyane did a scan.. water level still acceptable, baby is now 3.3kg (in just 1 week!! whoa!!!)

Next coming up: Cervix check... that was like ouch!! gynae starts to look abit grim.. and explained that my cervix is only dilated 1cm and still thick, on a scale of 1-10 for suitablity for induction, i only score 3, which means that in the next 2 days, he don't think i can induce..

***out flies the thought of inducing on 31st August for a 1st September baby..

However, as he have to balance between baby getting bigger and going overdue too much, and hence a lower chance of natural vaginal birth, versus waiting for my cervix to dilate.. so, gyane suggests that we set 4th sept for induction of labour.. unless the baby decides to pop by then...

Oh dear.. so headache.. Princess J.. when u wanna make your appearance & say hi to us??
