38 weeks 3 days

Went to gynae again and gynae asked mummy, 'still no sign?'..
Daddy and mummy been asking me when I wanna come out...and they're afraid I may go overdue.


Anyway, daddy asked gynae what to do next if I still dun wanna pop..and gynae said to induce by 39 or 40 weeks. Gynae suggested giving me another week to see if labour will come for mummy and she said hopefully the next time she sees mummy, it will be at the delivery room..hehe...


Gynae arranged for mummy to be put on CTG to track my heartbeat and possible contractions. 
We headed to the ctg room and mummy sat on the comfy recliner with two round detectors straped to her tummy for about 20 to 30 mins. Being an attitude baby, of coz I have to struggle  for space and attention since mummy's tummy was compressed quite a bit. When the report's out, gynae asked mummy if i was very active coz there were quite a number of 'uphills' in the report and mummy said yes...so gynae said 'Good!'. Yay!


Well, when will i make my appearance? more updates then :)

Waiting game

At 37 weeks 4 days, I’m officially a full term baby now!

Visited Gynae yesterday for our weekly check and Gynae said my head is very low already..so mummy shall just wait for contractions/labour to come. That means I may pop out anytime from now 

Mummy’s tummy is so full of me already and I’m really running out of space in my swimming pool..
This morning, I guess I was annoyed with mummy’s frequent toilet visits cause that woke me too and I had to keep shifting my position to keep myself comfortable..so I gave mummy 4 straight karate kicks before I could settle down.

Mummy and daddy kept saying I’m an attitude baby…hahaha..wait till we meet And Daddy, yes I heard you saying ‘its okay, when you come out daddy let you kick’! ^_^

36 weeks plus

Visited the gynae two days ago..she pressed and pressed mummy’s lower abdomen to look for my head head and she told mummy that my head is quite low already and I may engage in a week’s time. Mummy now finds it a challenge to walk the mall as I’m moving lower and lower and getting heavier each day.

Mummy’s waist has grown from 24 inches to a 42 inches and she has since put on 16kg..hahaha…how amazing…and she’s complaining if she could regain her pre-pregnancy size..well daddy always goes..’can one…slowly’…hehehe..

I’ll be full term by 37 weeks and its just a day or two to go!

I can’t wait to see my daddy and mummy! ^_^

陈艺欣 @ 35 weeks 1 day

Shayla Tan is now 2.3kg! Yay!!!

Went for a repeat scan to access my growth yesterday and i’m growing proportionately..hehe…my head circumference is now 31.5cm and my thigh bones are getting longer too 

The sonographer told daddy and mummy that my head is at the bottom left with my body stretched up towards mummy’s ribs. She said I’m in a frog-like position..haha..and then mummy starts calling me ‘froggy baby’ 

Gynae said with my weight at 2.3kg..okay to pop if need be..no worries..and then she said since my head is down, mummy can try for vagina birth..Hmm..for the past few weeks, mummy has been contemplating  to  go for Elective C-section as she’s afraid I will get too stressed up during labour and end up with emergency c-section. If that happens then daddy won’t be able to go in to the operating theatre with mummy and can’t snap pictures of me.  On the other hand, a vagina birth will mean more speedy recovery and mummy will be more mobile and able to take good care of me..what a dilemma…

The gynae needs to see us every week now since I’m nearing full term, so more updates till then
