33 weeks

Was in Prince Court Medical Center for my 33 weeks checkup yesterday. Sebelum ni datang sebulan sekali, dah masuk 8 bulan ni mula check up lebih kerap. Masa check up tadi gynae dah tak scan, after 33 weeks dia just check baby's position by hand, according to him kepala baby dekat bawah, punggung baby dekat atas sebelah kanan, no wonder selalu rasa dia bergerak dekat sebelah kanan, then gynae check heartbeat baby using a doppler, 154bpm.

Told gynae, pagi-pagi bila bangun finger joints macam sakit lepas tu ada la dua tiga jari tak boleh nak bukak properly for few minutes, husband kena picit-picit skit baru ok. Gynae kata tu transient Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which is very common during pregnancy(due to water retention) so dia advice sebelum tidur rendam tangan dalam air panas suam(sepanas yang boleh tahan) for few minutes, insyaAllah ok nanti.

Some of you cakap nak tengok perut in my last entry, so bawah ni pic perut i hehe. I'm beginning to feel heavily pregnant now. Some said i seem to be carrying small for the eighth month, some said besarnya! I think its hard tell a baby by his mom's belly. It comes in different shapes and sizes, some are carrying round and big, some are small and tajam ke depan. Yang penting orang dalam tu sihat.

Bout the preparation to welcome our little bundle, alhamdulillah, 99% dah siap. Kitorang start preparing baby stuffs lepas raya baru-baru ni itu pun sebab ramai yang kata: Cepat prepare, nanti terbersalin awal! Ok, ok ok dah prepare. Hehe. Takde ape nak tambah lagi dah melainkan set bersalin for me. Barang baby dah boleh stop beli rasanya, checklist pun semua dah tick. Husband said, cukup kot beli baju baby ye. Tinggal skit baju kat kedai tu, orang lain pun nak beli jugak. (",)

Sebelum raya i buat list, bila jumpa kedai baby masuk dan familiarkan diri dengan barang-barang baby. Bila sampai masa untuk shopping tu, tak susah sangat nak pilih, kalau pening-pening i will call my sister.

Semenjak dua menjak ni baby makin active, mungkin tengah nak 'mengengagekan' diri dia kot. Kadang-kadang sampai senget perut, Husband pun terkejut tengok hehe. Then, dalam sehari ada rasa 4-5 kali period like cramp(very very mild), hmm, wondering.. itu mild contraction ke? Kadang tu my belly seems to bunch up and hardened jugak.

Selera makan macam biasa, langsung tak pernah kurang. Total weight gained about 14kg! Moral of the story: makan berpada pada hehe. Tapi gynae belum tegur pasal berat lagi so i assume ok laa. Being pregnant gives me a strong excuse to eat. Tapi bukan makan tidur, almost everyday ikut husband gi sana sini, banyak berjalan, itu pun exercise jugak kan. :-)

At the end of the day, kaki agak bengkak, paling teruk masa raya, bengkak debab semacam jer kaki. Water retention! Tangan pun bengkak skit until my wedding ring become harder to pry off my finger. Time being i simpan dulu cincin kawin sampai jari ni slimmed down balik. Mula-mula naik bengkak kaki ni i was quite worried coz it can be a sign of preeclampsia but alhamdulillah everytime check up blood pressure and urine(protein in the urine) semua normal.

Oh yaa, lepas check up semalam gynae kata admission form dia akan kasi on the next check up. So yesterday he said i dengan Husband boleh visit labour room, cantik la pulak labour room dia. Hilang skit debar-debar hehe.
