My seventeenth & eighteenth appointment - *calendar week 38!
Measurement of Baby N - his head measuring 9.61 cm and weighs 3870gm! Me now weighs 65.3 kg! So fat so fat!
Gynae advised us to go TMC for second opinon due to Baby N's weight is on the high side (then we can discuss how to deliver him...). Everything during the scan was OK until this morning he rang us up to go down his clinic for "delivery" discussion urgently.
TMC phoned him personally the day before and informed him that the scan shows that the umbilical cord was located around his neck! He advised either we monitor on the progress of the contraction (via CTG scan, which is not the long term solution...) in the next days or have c-section to deliver the baby soonest. This is to avoid complication during normal delivery. Also if the contraction starts anytime, it will trigger the "tightening" of the cord and will results in cutting blood/oxygen supply to the baby plus plus, Baby N's head is big and the process of delivering him naturally might take quite awhile or not possible (in the end might still need to go for c-section)...
It was hard to make a decision within/during the consultation... but in the end, we decided to go ahead for the c-section delivery tomorrow after checking on the 吉日 possibility for the better future for Baby N... So, 5 January is a good day and it will be the day we become Daddy and Mommy!
Gonna go offline now... packing up stuffs for the BIG day tomorrow!
