Friday May 8th was my 28 weeks appointment with Dr. Nik. Both of us (MrM and I that is) were on Wesak replacement holiday by virtue that we are both in oil and gas companies. We had breakfast in Seremban and off we were to KL like any other work day and arrived GIMC at about 9am. As I entered the specialist clinic building, I was questioned whether I have been abroad recently and was tagged on my sleeves with a stick-on with 8-5-2009 written on it. I was worried, ada ke orang yg dah infected with the flu virus that they are taking such precautionary measure?
Upon registration off to 6th Floor where Dr Nik's clinic is and yeay! I was patient no 2! Dr Nik arrived 10 minutes later and MrM had noticed Dr Nik changed his hairstyle. When you are in your 60s and suddenly the hairstyle changes, makes me wonder what caused him to change it.
Dr Nik said I look tired and of course, needless to say the obvious Doctor, fatigue is my middle name now. Dah tak main tired2 ni. Urine is clear of protein and sugar and blood pressure is 102/60. Weight wise, I have put on additional 2.3kg. Doctor goes "he he ni semangat sikit ni" okay okay I catch your drift Dr Nik. And then he asked me if I am eating well? And he answered himself "you must be eating well if you are putting on that much weight..." Ha ha ha! Nasib baik you are my obgyn, kalau my husband dah lama I sensitive dah!
Baby is moving very actively even during the ultrasound. His position now is head down, back to the left of my belly and fingers in a tight fist....the thing is I thought I was 28 weeks, turns out I am actually 3 days short of 30 weeks! All this while, I thought my due date is 31 July but according to Dr Nik my due date according to first day of last period is a week earlier, 24 July. Which brings my 37 weeks early July. He advised me to consider having the C-section at 37 weeks because as I get heavier the previous C-section scars may not be able to withstand the weight of the baby.
Dr Nik went through the baby's internal organs with detail and all I remember is the heartbeat is normal....Dr was happy with my progress and at this stage the next appointment is 3 weeks away....
At this stage, I can't wait to have this baby delivered because I am tired most of the time and worry about my state of inactiveness. Yet at the same time, I am afraid of the C-section, particularly remembering my last C-section giving birth to Aliah and the fact that MrM was not around (he came in a bit later), spinal anaesthetic being a new experience for me (my legs were moving about still) and just being older makes you paranoid about everything.
