38th Week of Pregnancy

We are back again at Dr Lim's clinic. Mummy is hoping fervently that I have turned down. Dr Lim placed his hands on Mummy's tummy and felt Mummy's tummy. By touch, it seemed as if I have turned around. So Dr Lim said, he will proceed to confirm with the ultrasound. The moment of truth! However, on the ultrasound, I am still breeched! A slight diversion at this point, Mummy's gained 8.2kgs by now.

Dr Lim advised Mummy to go for cesarean to deliver me. Initially Mummy asked if she could continue to wait until week 40 -give it up, mom!-. But Dr Lim felt that having a planned cesarean was better than having to do an unplanned cesarean, should Mummy go into labour and I am still breeched. Mummy finally caved in and agreed on the cesarean. Next, Dr Lim asked her to decide on when to do it. Initially, Daddy & Mummy thought of saturday -Sep10-, Dr Lim told them that as he has clinic on Saturday, it will have to be done very early in the morning. Dr Lim asked if they minded having the cesarean done on Friday, as he sets aside Friday as his operation day. Hence, he has no cllinic on that day. Daddy & Mummy were agreeable, and realized that Friday was Sep9 -0909- which was a nice date. So looks like everything is falling into place nicely.

After deciding on the date, Dr Lim told to decide if she wanted to have the casearean with general anesthesia -GA- or with epidural or spinal epidural. As Mummy's operation was on Friday, she could think about it and let the clinic nurse know tomorrow.

So everything's set now. I would be making my appearance on Friday! This is so exciting!
