37 Weeks and Signs of Labour

Haven't been updating my blog haha.

Okay. Last Saturday (6th Nov), i suddenly blackout and i didn't realised i actually blackout and hit my head. Lucky i didn't hit my tummy. I only heard my husband calling for me and i suddenly woke up and realised i'm on the floor. So we have to postpone our haircut appointment and rest at home.

Lucky gynae's appointment is on the 8th Nov, so i can tell my gynae what had happened. Then she said is because of the blood flow and that i cannot stand too long. As i am now at the last trimester of my pregnancy. Then i told her about the Lower backache and the discharge, she said it could be the Braxton Hicks Contractions. So is the practising of labour. Then because of my dropped of weight and less baby movement. I have to do the CTG scan and found out that i have regular contractions. So i am given Anti-biotics for my discharge again. -_-~ Because of the GBS... And i have to count my baby movement everyday from 9am to 9pm. At least must have ten movements irregardless anytime.

Then last two days, i suddenly had diarrhea and i realised i have passed out a small red blood clot while washing. Then before that, middle of the night i already have a sharp pain down there and thinking could be the cervix trying to dilate a bit? Then next morning felt slight cramp at my lower abdominal. Even after i found out the clot, i am having cramp as well. So i called the clinic and informed them about it. The nurse told me it could be the Mucous Plug and ask me to wait for contractions or water bag burst then admit to the hospital. At least is nothing to panic about.

Then next day around 6am, i felt cramp at my upper abdominal and it lasted until 6.53am. So i guess is just the beginning of the labour. But since it stops, then i guess is okay. Then everything is as per normal after that.

Today, i suddenly felt my lower back ache again at about 1.35pm and it was so sharp and i can feel it is pulsating on and off. I can feel the cold sweat coming. Then it went off again. Then 2.05pm ache again. Then it went off again. I think it is really time soon. I also have been having loose bowels, so just the real intensify contractions or water bag burst then we can see our baby soon. I just hope that he is doing fine inside and really hope to see him soon.

So my next appointment would be weekly now and is coming Monday. Hopefully everything would be okay for both of us. :)

Lower backache and Cramps

Today i have this lower backache and cramps again. It makes my tears flow out. It's so pain until i cannot endure it. So i went to google and there are two possibilities.

One, is because of the pressure from the Uterus and the baby. As now the baby is consider 'lightening'. So there would be pressure and will cause backache. But usually this is very common. So i hope is just because of this.

Two, is contractions and can be back labour. Which means baby is coming out anytime soon. But with a few other symptoms like, signs of show (mucus plug thin and came out), severe contractions, increase in watery discharge and the most obvious is water bag burst. These days every morning, i would have light yellow watery discharge and it is quite alot. And been having a slight sharp pain down there. So i have to observe now. Just in case baby really wants to come out early.

I haven't try out the products that we have bought yet. OMG! Having a strange feeling these days. But i hope is just sensitive. But i have dreamt of a friend whose going to give birth the next day and she really did. This nesting feelings is so scary... But even if baby wants to come out early, i just hope that he would be healthy and bubbly. :)

36 Weeks

Yesh! One more week to go and my baby will be in his full term! Which means he can be out anytime between 37 to 42 weeks.

Recently i felt my tummy abit dropping, which i read that it is the stage called 'Lightening'. Which means baby is preparing his head down to my pelvic and labour. Sometimes i can feel my tummy slowly moving down, i can feel it. Is like baby is trying to shift downwards. :)

But today i felt abit cramp on my lower abdominal and back. So i hope is nothing serious. I have read, it is because of the pressure from the baby and the uterus as to prepare for labour. So there would be cramps. But it can also be a sign of labour if there are any bleeding follow by. So far so good. Just hope baby will be fully mature then come out. Don't want him so fast come out and not fully mature yet. But of course i am still having pains on my left pelvic whenever i wake up to pass urine. This is going to be tough for me for the next 27 days! Just 27 days more and we will get to see our precious!

Baby have been moving lesser now and sometimes when i ate his favourite food like Apple, he will still kick me, so is a good sign. Hee... But of course i have been naughty recently by drinking alot of cold drinks. :p I just couldn't help it. I felt very hot, i also drank alot of water of course. Cannot have too much sugar in my blood. I have been telling myself to drink more warm water. Sigh... guess i really should discipline myself and wack myself, if i drink cold drinks again. :p

Now i can start to take 'cooling' stuffs especially Coconut drink. I have heard that baby would be very clean and it can reduce the jaundice level. So gonna try at least twice a week. :)
