K and I went for Bria's check up in the morning today cause Dr. Lim came in early.. We still had to wait but at least the queue was not that bad..
Doc prescribed some medication for my flu, which had developed into a cough and sore throat over the last few days.. i even had a slight fever yesterday.. PLUS super itchy rashes on my feet.. It was horrible.. And as if things weren't bad enough, a huge zit appeared on my right cheek..
Doc did the usual scan, and told me that Bria wouldn't be due so soon, not at least within the next 7 days. He also mentioned to me that he would be going on leave the next day and back on Monday.. According to the ultrasound, Bria weighed about 3.3kg . That's 0.5kg heavier than her last check up 10 days ago.. Which made me a bit worried cause that's quite big, and she still has another 7 days to grow, which means she will be huge when she comes out! Huge = more painful labor.. While Bria gains weight, poor mummy lost 0.6kg due to my stupid flu = )
For the past few days, my wonderful helper (let's call her C) played a huge part in making sure i got well quickly. She made ginger tea for my flu, honey lime for my throat, and even offered to massage me every night before bedtime. If there is an award / contest for "Most Outstanding Helper", i will definitely nominate her! = )
After realizing that Bria now weighs 3.3kg, i started to worry about how difficult it would be to give birth to a huge baby.. While chatting online with G today, she mentioned something about her second baby weighing 3.2 kg also at 38 weeks, and how her midwife said she might have to go for c-section if the baby grows too big.. That kinda added on to what i was afraid of and made it worse.. = (
To ease my tension, G suggested 2 ways of bringing on early labor. I found a third method online.
1. Have sex
2. Stimulate my nipples
3. Do more walking
Let's just say only 1 appealed to me = )
