Mama Check up @ 41 Weeks

Bila bc tajuk entry kat atas ni rasa kelakaor pulak. Mesti ada yg cakap or kuar istilah ...Bunting kerbau... bunting gajah... hahahahaha.... Mama rasa pregnant kali ni la yg paling lama.

Pagi tadi mama g check up or 41 weeks. Mama g sorang2 sbb my hubby xde. Itu pun mtk tlg my bro antakan. Kiranya last check up for me & for year 2009. Masa Doc check, baby still x engage lagi. Still cool & steady. Xde tunjuk sign langsung nak kuar. Contraction pun xde. Alahai...

Mula2 tu mama dah nekad nak deliver on 1st Jan 2010. Pastu mama bgtau sekarg ni my hubby xde & my sis pulak nak kawin on weekend. Then, bila doc scan & wat CTG, Doc pun suh mama deliver baby on 3rd Jan. Doc kata, memandangkan baby mama sihat, tali pusat x terlilit, air ketuban pun cukup dia suh mama enjoy dan makan puas2 on my sis wed's dulu. Then malam tu br dtg induce. Hehehehe.... Kelakar pulak doc ni. Nampaknya sempat la mama makan nasi kenduri dulu. Dengan syarat, baby at least must have 10 movement a day. Kalau dlm masa 3 hari ni xde tanda2 nak bersalin, meaning 3rd Jan 2010 kena induce sbb dah overdue. X sabar2 pulak rasanya.... hihihi....

Mama Check up @ 40 Weeks

Last Thursday mama gi check up for 40 weeks. Actually my appointment on Saturday, tp mama change my appointment on Thursday. X ramai sgt preggy mommies on that day. Mama pulak dpt no. 3.

Tp doc masuk lambat sbb dia ada OT on that day. Masa check up, doc kata baby still x engage. Dok hanging lagi kat bawah ni. Maybe another week lg kot. Nak jd baby new year baby mama ni ye... Berat baby pun dah naik jd 3.6 kg!!!. Mak aiii.... Besornya!!! Tp doc bgtau, don't wory, weight baby maybe around 3.2 kg je tu. Baby sihat, air cukup cuma blum engage je.

Then doc suggest mama to induce that night kalau nak dpt nice date la which is 25th Dec. Kalau ikut kiraan doc, my EDD on 27th Dec. But, kalau ikut period, on 25th Dec. Mula2 tu mama dah setuju la nak induce on that night memandangkan my hubby nak balik Jakarta on 27th Dec. But, bila dah kuar dari bilik doc tu, mama rasa mcm not ready to induce la. My mental not ready.... huhuhu.... Teringat lagi sakitnya kena induce masa deliver Arissa last year. Sakit sgt!!!! My hubby pun x paksa. Dia kata depends on mama. Kalau nak tunggu natural pun xpe.....

So, mama pun cancel la nak induce. Mama decide nak tunggu natural pain je. Lagipun belum lewat lagi. Lain la kalau dah lewat 1 weeks. Kalau mama kena deliver sorang2 kat labor room without my hubby pun mama redha... Kalau tidak dah kuar baby mama ni & mama sekarang tengah berpantang... Penakut betul kan.... huhuhu.... My relatives sume dah tanya, mama dah bersalin ke blum? Diorg pulak yg rasa berdebar2. muahahaha.... Perasaan mama ni pulak, jgn ckp la........

Up date check up

BP ~ 120/70

Urine Test ~ Protein (NEG), Sugar (NEG)

Berat Baby ~ 3.608 kg

Menghitung Hari...

Salam dears!!!!

Mama masih di rumah, masih menghitung hari lagi. Baby ni xde tanda2 langsung nak kuar. Seronok agaknya duduk dlm mama nyer womb ye...!!! Kalau ikutkan mama nyer EDD on 25th Dec.ni. Papa pulak, by hook by crook kena balik Jakarta on 27th Dec. coz nak reset visa. Mama kalau bole nak deliver baby before papa balik Jakarta. Kalau tidak, sapa yg nak temankan mama kat labor room & sapa yg nak azan & qamatkan baby???

Tp tu la... Kita hanya merancang, Allah yg menentukan semuanya. Mama kalau bole nak tunggu sign of labor tp sampai sekarg xde any sign pun. Mama dah amik keputusan, this Saturday mama ada check up for 40 weeks. If still don't have any sign nak deliver, mama nak induce je la. Sakit mmg la sakit sbb kena paksa sakit tp nak wat camne???

Kalau en. Hubby tu keje kat sini xpe la kan. Dah la keje jauh, so mama terpaksa la berkorban. Masa deliver Arissa pun mama terpaksa berkorban gak sbb papa masa tu keje kat Sudan. Harap2 dlm minggu ni baby dah bagi sign nak kuar la ye... Dan semoga semuanya dipermudahkan.... Amin....

Mama Check up @ 39 Weeks

Baby dah turun, but still x engage lagi. Doc kata jauh lagi ni. Alamak, jauh lagi?? Pastu mama tanya kat doc, mama bole gi jalan2 kenduri kawin lagi ke? hehehe.... Doc kata bole tp jgn gi jalan jauh2. Bole la pekena nasi org kawin seblm bersalin ni... hehehehe...

Up date check up

BP ~ 120/70

Urine Test ~ Protein (NEG), Sugar (NEG)

Berat Baby ~ 3.547 kg

Still Counting 1,2,3.....

Salam dears....!!!

Maybe ada di antara kawan2 mama ni tertanya2 whether mamazana ni dah bersalin ke belum??? Mama masih belum deliver baby lagi. Still menghitung hari... hihihi.... Masih belum ada tanda2 baby nak kuar lg.

Sori ye kawan2... Dah brapa hari mama x update. Actually mama bkn xmo update blog ni, tp bila my hubby dah ada kat sini mmg susah & sibuk skit. Lagipun my MIL pun ada kat sini. X syiok la kan kalau kita dok ngadap cik lappy ni... hehehehe...

Ok babes.... Kalau mama dah deliver baby, mama akan announce ye... Nak pi masak bubur jagung sat. En. Hubby request!!! huhuhu...

Alhamdulillah... So surprise!!!

Last saturday mama g check up for 38 weeks. At the same time mama kena g menyerah utk diC-sec.

Malam sebelum tu mama mnm air zam nak dekat 2 jag!!! Pastu dah tengah2 mlm tu baby bergerak sangat aktif! Bukan mcm selalu. Sampaikan mama x leh nak tido.

Pagi tu, sampai SJMC dalam kul 7.40 pagi. Mama dapat no.19 tp kat kaunter Dr. Delaila mama dpt no. 9. Ramai betul preggy mommies hari ni. hihihi... Disebabkan mama kena puasa, xde la g breakfast. So mama just tunggu Dr. Delaila sampai je. Dalam hati ni, hanya Allah je yg tahu betapa berdebar2nya mama.

Then, sampai mamanya turn. Dr. Delaila siap tanya mcm mana baby? Aktif tak? Mama pun jawab baby sgt aktif dan mama rasa berdebar2. Then Doc Delaila pun check perut. Dia senyum. Then dia scan pulak. Pastu Doc pun bagtau.... "ur baby dah turn down. X breech lg... But kepala baby belum engage lagi la..." Mama pun tanya Doc. "So, meanings today x yah ceaser la ye doc?" Tetiba mama rasa mcm nak terbang je. Ya Allah.... Rasa syukur sgt!!! Mungkin malam tadi baby begitu struggle nak turn down & baby berjaya akhirnya. Patut la lasak semacam je. Owh!! Gud baby!!!!

Mama pun tanya doc nak kena induce jgk ke hari ni? Mama cdg xmo induce sbb pernah merasa masa deliver Arissa dulu. Sakit wei!!!! Pastu Dr. Delaila kata depends pada mama. Nak tunggu signs of deliver pun xpe.....

Bila dah dengar doc ckp mcm tu, mama rasa lega sikit. Since my hubby pun dah ada kat sini, so mama pun wat decision x nak induce for that day & just nak tunggu naturality pain je. Doc minta mama catat movement of baby start pukul 9.30 pagi setiap hari. Make sure at least ada 10 movement (minimum) sampai kul 6.30 ptg. If less than 10, mama kena cepat2 g spital. Lepas habis check up, barulah mama rasa lapar. Terus ajak hubby g pekena nasi lemak kat cafe... hehehe...

So, sekarang ni mama just berehat kat rumah menunggu sign of deliver je la. Mama nak ucapkan terima kasih kat semua kawan2 mama yg sudi doakan utk mama & baby. Alhamdulillah, ini semua adalah berkat doa mama, husband, parents, relatives dan kawan2 bloggers. Kita hanya mampu merancang. Hanya Allah yg menentukan semuanya....

Insyaallah, Mama akan terus berblogging sampai la mama deliver nanti.... hihihi...

Mama Check up @ 38 Weeks

Update check up

BP ~ 130/70

Urine ~ Protein (NEG), Sugar (NEG)

Berat Baby ~ 3.195 kg

My Mix Feeling....

Salam dear....!!!Nak tahu tak apa yg mama rasa sekarang??? Mcm2 ada!!!

1. Rasa berdebar2 sbb dah tahu kena C-sec. Selama ni selalu dgr citer on ceaser from my sis, my SIL, biras & kengkawan. But x sangka pulak mama have to go through on that. hehehe.....

2. Rasa x sabar2 nak tgk baby yg mama carry about 38 weeks ni. Mama x kisah muka baby ikut sapa, gelap ke, putih ke, boy ke, girl ke, yg penting baby mama ni cukup sifatnya & sihat walafiat... Amin.

So, doc dah pesan suh mama start puasa kul 7.30 pg esok. Mula2 kena g check up mcm biasa. Doc nak scan dulu whether baby dah turn down ke blum. Kalau dah turn down, ada chance la mama nak deliver normal but kena induce dulu. If baby still melintang, mama kena C-sec ler.... huhuhu...

Mama ingin mengambil kesempatan meminta maaf andai ada terkasar bahasa tersilap kata pada semua kawan2 bloggers. Walaupun some of u alls, mama x pernah berjumpa dan hanya kenal di alam maya, tp mama rasa dikelilingi oleh kawan2 yg sangat caring & loving. Doakan utk mama & baby ye. Semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan melahirkan baby ini. Aminn......

38 Weeks

In her ninth month she's 46cm (20.7in) long and probably still covered with greasy vernix, a lubricant during birth.

Your body
Even if you're not still visibly growing, you may be feeling very uncomfortable. Once your baby is engaged (see Week 37), you may even experience the peculiar sensation that she is going to fall out. She won't - if only giving birth was that easy!

The waiting game
Feeling weary, cumbersome and can't wait to meet your baby? Don't be too impatient - the vast majority of babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy, which means you could have her today…or not for another month! Try to enjoy the last few days of knowing she's safe inside you.

Enema, anyone?
Fortunately, the start of labour is often preceded by a fairly heavy-duty bout of diarrhoea, which 'clears out' your system naturally. If not, when your baby is born, everything (and we mean everything) in the rectum comes out too. If you feel squeamish or embarrassed about this, you can opt to have an enema at the onset of labour, to ensure you 'go' before you get near the pushing stage.

Enemas used to be more or less compulsory, but if - like many women - you don't fancy having a suppository shoved up your rectum, don't worry: any stray 'waste matter' won't harm your baby and the midwives really have seen it all before. Your birth partner will probably be so caught up in the moment, he won't even notice.

Your baby
She weighs about 3.1kg (6-8lb), is about 35cm (14in) crown to rump long and 47cm (21in) long from head to toe. As she's nicely filled out, she won't be moving much at all. She's lying in a bath of 1.2 litres (2 pints) of amniotic fluid - the maximum volume at any point in your pregnancy. From now, the amount of amniotic fluid gradually reduces.

Skin-clean
This week, your baby sheds most of the lanugo (downy hair that covers her body) and vernix caseosa (grease that protects her skin). These waste products are swallowed by your baby and stay in her bowel until birth, when they are passed out as her first bowel movement: a sticky, tar-like black mixture called meconium.

Packing Bag Baby

Memandangkan mama nak kena deliver baby on this Saturday- 12th December 2009, mama should start packing barang-barang untuk di bawa ke hospital in case emergency ke. Barang2 mama & baby semua dah siap dalam beg. And barang2 tu mama dah masukkan siap2 kat dalam keta.

Mama just prepare awal2 je. Maklum la, my darling hubby tu kan jauh nun kat Jakarta. Kalau tetiba dibuatnya mama sakit nak bersalin, xde la kelam kabut sangat. Sumenya dah ada dlm keta. Rasa susah hati jgk ni. Lain tau org lain dgn husband kita yg teman g spital ni. Sepatutnya my EDD on 25th Dec. Tp disebabkan baby still in breech position, mama terpaksa menyerah utk diC-sec. Harap2 sumenya selamat.

So, this is mama nyer hospital bag's list.

LISTS OF BABY
Baju & Seluar, Mittens & Booties, Blanket, Barut, Baby Wipes, Toilettries (travel), Feeding Bottle & Minyak Berubat Mustajab NR

LISTS OF MAMA
Baju (btg depan), Kain Batik, Towel, Sweater, Stoking, Nursing Bra, Panty, Maternity Pad, Slipper, Hand Sanitizer, Toiletries (Berus gigi/Sikat/Sabun), Air/Minyak Selusuh/Air Zam-zam, Plastic Bag, Kad Hospital (Insurance Card/GL Letter)

Baju2 baby ni biasanya pakai masa nak balik nanti. Sbb kalau ikutkan previous experience, sepanjang baby kat spital, dia just pakai blanket je. Mandikan baby pun sume staff nurse yg buatkan. Mama just BF baby je.... hihihi... Mama nyer baju pun utk dipakai masa balik nanti sbb mama akan pakai baju spital. Cuma just bwk yg spital x sediakan je la....

Mama just bwk satu bag je. Share ngan baby. Senang skit papa nak bwk or sesapa yg anta mama g spital nanti.

Baby Tak Bergerak???

U alls nak tahu tak? Pg2 td kan, around kul 3.oo pagi mcm tu mama g SJMC!!!!

Citernya gini, dlm kul 2.30 pg tu, mama tersedar sbb rasa nak terkucil. Lagipun tersedar msg from my hubby tanyakan baby lasak ke tak??? Lately ni mama mmg x leh nak tido sbb baby tersgt la lasak. Tp pagi tu mama rasa lena sangat tido.Then mama xde rasa movement of baby pun!!!

Masa mama nak bangun g toilet pun perut ni rasa ringan sangat. Selalunya, hanya Allah je yg tahu betapa susahnya nak bwk perut ni. Issshhh... Nape pulak baby x gerak ni??? Puas mama tepuk2, panggil2 baby. Selalunya, kalau mama bangun, baby pun bangun sama. Mama usap2 lagi. Baby.... bangun baby.... Mana anak mama ni???? Senyap je org kat dalam.... Ya Allah, selamatkan la anakku!!!

Mama dah start cuak & fikir yg bukan2. My baby........ Nauzubillahhiminzalik.... Mama terus kejut my sis & parents bgtau baby x gerak pun... Masa tu dah start nak nangis... Call hubby kat Jakarta. Kesian kat dia. Terkejut + risau. Mama decide nak g spital pagi2 buta tu jgk.

Masa tgh bersiap2 nak g spital tu, baby still x bergerak langsung!!! Uwaaaaa.... Nape baby mama x gerak ni??? Lepas mnm air zam zam yg ayah tawarkan, salam ngan my mum mtk doakan baby selamat. Then my sis & bro pun anta mama g spital. Dalam keta pun mama bc selawat & bc laillahaillaanta... sambil usap2 & panggil baby. Still x bergerak langsung.

Sampai simpang nak masuk spital, br mama ada rasa movement skit. Alhamdulillah!!!!! Walaupun slow but its a good sign for me. Terus msg kat hubby. Then sampai spital, naik kat labor & delivery unit. Mama dah siap2 call diorg before dtg td. Terus diorg wat CTG. Masa tu Mama dpt dengar heartbeat baby dgn jelas skali!!! Ya Allah... Syukur sangat. Pastu barula baby gerak2 . Wat CTG about 1 hour.

Dalam kul 5 pagi tu brla mama balik & baby dah gerak mcm biasa... Then msg kat my hubby bgtau kat dia sume dah ok... Kesian pulak kat darling mama tu. Mesti dia risau kat sana.... Baby mama tido ke tadi??? Puas mama panggil tau.. Mama teramat la risau sayang... Mama x nak bad thing happen kat baby mama ni...

Mama nak ucap terima kasih kat adik2 mama yg anta & teman mama sepanjang kat spital pg tadi. Mengantuk2 diorg. hihihi... Wat my parents yg jg puteri2 mama yg enak beradu, x sedar mama dia dok kalut pg2 buta tadi. Baby mama jgn wat mcm tu lagi tau... Wat mama gabra je.... Harap2 sume selamat... Aminnn.....

My Baby Still Breech ~ 12 Dec 2009

Pagi semalam mama g check up kan... Hurm... my baby still breech... as last week position. Melintang. Ni la bad newsnya...Mama mmg dah rasa baby ni x akan turun lagi sbb mama still rasa lagi kepala baby at right side my belly. Mama pasrah dan redha. Ceaser pun ceaser la. Janji baby mama selamat.

Seblm nak scan tu mama mmg dah rasa berdebar2. Pastu doc kata perut mama berbonggol2. Lasaknya org kat dalam. huhuhu.... Then masa scan, doc kata baby still melintang. Yang lain2 sume ok. Baby sihat, berat dah cecah 3 kg, air ketuban cukup, kedudukan uri cantik, tali pusat x terlilit, cuma kedudukan baby je breech. Disebabkan baby dah masuk 37 weeks, chances nak pusing tu 50-50 je.

So, doc dah siap bg date for deliver on 12 Dec 2009, this Saturday which is baby dah 38 weeks. Masa tu baby dah matured and mmg sesuai for C-sec. Pastu doc bgtau on 12 Dec 2009 tu kalau baby still melintang, mama mmg kena C-sec. Tp, kalau baby dah turn down, mama kena induce. Kiranya 12 Dec 2009 tu my deliver date la. Cuma x tahu via C-sec or normal, depends on position baby....Adei... Berpeluh2 mama dengar. Mama dah cuak. Pucat sekejap muka masa tu.

Pastu doc bgtau lagi, kalau water bag dah pecah, kena cepat cepat g spital, takut baby lemas or die. Ya Allah, gerunnya mama dengar. Harap2 jgn la pecah seblm this Saturday. Kalau dah start sakit pun, jgn tgu yg 5 min tu. Dah start sakit kena terus g spital jgk. Habis je check up, mama terus call hubby. Inform kat dia about mama & baby condition. Senang skit hubby nak arrange cuti. Masa tu dah nak nangis tp mama terpaksa la tahn. X kan la nangis depan public!!! Malu weh....!!! huhuhu...

Masa nak balik kat dalam keta, air mata mama ni berderai2 dah. Mama layan blues... huhuhu... Mama risau sbb my hubby xde kat sini. This Friday baru sampai. Itu pun malam br sampai. Mama takut dalam masa 5 hari ni ada tanda2 nak bersalin mcm water bag pecah or dah start contraction. Takut sgt bila dgr doc kata baby lemas or..... Nauzubillah.....

Mama terus call my sis bgtau kat dia mama maybe kena C-sec this Saturday. Terkekezut dia. My sis tu dah ada pengalaman sbb dia kena C-sec hari tu. My sis kata jgn risau, x sakit pun. Mama bukannya apa, org yg bersalin C-sec ni lain skit cara berpantangnya. Sapa la yg nak jg mama masa pantang nanti sbb kalau ikut plan, mama berpantang sendiri sbb my mum sibuk dgn preparation my sis nak kawin. Pastu my mum jg anak my sis pulak. My hubby dapat amik cuti brapa mgu je... Sapa yg nak jg mama & anak2 yg lain tu???? Fenin!!!!

Deep in my heart, mama berharap anak mama ni sempat berpusing2 lagi. Tiap-tiap malam mama usap perut ni sambil minta baby turn down. At least mama bole la bersalin normal walaupun kena induce. Mama tahu, everynight baby mama ni struggle nak turn down. Mama terasa kepala baby melonjak2 sampai ke pinggang mama. Baby nak turn down agaknya tp mungkin tersilap teknik. hehehe... Bila dah penat, baby stop sekejap. Kesian pulak mama. Mama kata kalau baby tak boleh takpela. Nanti cuba lagi ye sayang...

Wahai anakku sayang, walau mcm mana pun ur position nanti dan mama dah ditakdirkan C-sec, mama redha. Janji anak mama ni selamat. Itu yang paling penting. Semoga Allah permudahkan mama bersalin dan anak mama dilahirkan dengan selamat, sihat dan sempurna tanpa sebarang complication... Amin.

So, 12 December 2009 adalah hari menyerah diri. huhuhu... Kawan2.... doakan mama & baby selamat ye... My husband kata x dapat la baby nak share date of birthday dgn papa dia which is on 20 December. Pulak.....

Baby @ 37 Weeks

By Mother & Baby

In her ninth month she's 46cm (20.7in) long and probably still covered with greasy vernix, a lubricant during birth.

Your body
Your uterus may stay the same size as it's been for the last week or two. You probably won't have put on any more weight since last week, when you weighed between 9-13.5kg (20-30lb).
By the end of this week, your baby is 'full-term' (before the 38th week, she is classed as 'pre-term'; after 42 weeks, she's 'post-term').

M&B tip
Treat yourself to a hairdo, manicure and pedicure (you'll soon be able to see your toes again), so you look your best during labour and for those all-important family photo calls. Long nails aren't ideal for changing nappies, anyway.

How's your pelvis?
At your antenatal check-up this week, your doctor may examine your pelvis to check whether your cervix is dilating (opening) and effacing (thinning out) in preparation for labour. Before labour starts, the cervix is thick (0 per cent effaced). During labour, it thins out - this is called effacement. Just before delivery, when you are ready to push, it is 100 per cent effaced.

Before you can give birth, your cervix needs to be fully dilated: 10cm (4in) in diameter. At this stage of pregnancy, it may be closed (0cm dilated) or open a small amount, such as 1cm (0.4in). During labour, the contractions make the cervix stretch and open so there's enough room for the baby to move down it.

Your baby
Your baby now weighs about 3kg (6.5lb) and measures 35cm (14in) from crown to rump; her total length is about 47cm (21in).

Head down?
If you're lucky, your baby will be lying head down (called cephalic or vertex on your medical notes) in the uterus and will be partly engaged (ready to move further down and out). If your doctor suspects that she is breech (bottom or legs first), you may have an ultrasound scan to confirm this. This used to mean your only option was a Caesarean, but now some doctors will let you try for a vaginal delivery, especially if you've already had one or more normal deliveries.

Turn, baby, turn!
If your baby is breech and you are keen to have a vaginal delivery, your doctor may suggest trying to turn her into a head down presentation by gentle manipulation. Don't try to do this yourself: it should only be attempted by a doctor who is practised at the technique.

Laundary Time!!!

Fuh!!! Lega rasanya bila mama dapt settle laundary bj baby!!! K ebetulan semlm panas, so bolelah la basuh. X byk mana pun. Baju newborn je. So, now just tinggal nak packing & semak checklist mana yg tertinggal je lagi...

Baju2 yg nak dikorbankan...

Tadaaa.....

Bayi Songsang or Breech Baby

Bila mama tahu kepala baby dah naik & dalam kedudukan melintang, mama pun buat research pasal breech baby. Bila baca artikel ni, buat mama rasa nervous pulak. huhuhu..

....Ya Allah..selamatkanlah bayi dalam kandunganku dan permudahkanlah urusan ku untuk melahirkan bayi ini. Amin.....

Bayi Songsang

By: Miey Ahmad

Lebih 90% bayi dilahirkan dalam kedudukan normal iaitu kepala keluar dahulu. Hanya sebilangan kecil mungkin berkedudukan luar biasa sama ada songsang (breech) atau melintang (tranverse lie).

Pada peringkat awal kehamilan, adalah biasa sekiranya kedudukan bayi tidak stabil dan sentiasa berubah-ubah atau berpusing-pusing di dalam kelongsong kandungan yanng dipenuhi cecair amnion.

Apabila mencapai 8 bulan atau 34 minggu kehamilan, barulah bayi akan berkedudukan tetap iaitu kepala ke bawah menghala ke arah pintu rahim dan saluran peranakan. Hanya sebilangan kecil sahaja yang berkedudukan luar biasa sehingga saat tiba untuk dilahirkan. bayi songsang akan menyebabkan punggung atau kaki keluar dahulu. Risikonya, kerumitan ini boleh merosakkan otak dan saraf bayi akibat kekurangan oksigen dan boleh membawa kepada kematian.

Punca Bayi Songsang

Ini merupakan satu petanda bahawa bayi yang dilahirkan ini tidak cukup bulan atau pra matang. Oleh itu tarikh akhir putaran haid ibu perlu disemak semula. Jika semua benar, bayi masih juga berkedudukan luar biasa ini bermakna bayi mengalami kecacatan seperti saiz kepala melebihi saiz biasa atau mengalami kecacatan lain. Ia boleh dikenal pasti melalui ujian ultrasound atau x-ray. Songsang juga dikaitkan dengan faktor kandungan air dalam rahim berlebihan (polihidramnion) atau berkurangan (oligohidramnios).

Bentuk rahim yang ganjil seperti uterus bikornu atau uterus septate mempunyai bentuk rahim seperti bercabang atau mempunyai sekatan di tengah-tengah. keadaan ini boleh menyebabkan keguguran diperingkat awal, kelahiran pra matang dan juga bayi songsang. Rahim yang kendur akibat kerap beranak dan otot-otot perut yang kendur akibat kurang bersenam selepas bersalin juga menyumbang kepada masalah bayi songsang.

Masalah uri ke bawah juga boleh menyebabkan bayi melintang. Rongga punggung adalah laluan penting untuk membolehkan kelahiran bayi. Ada wanita yang mempunyai rongga punggung yang sempit secara semulajadi. Ini menyebabkan bayi songsang kerana kepalanya tidak boleh memasuki rongga tersebut. Penyakit seperti tuberkulosis (batuk kering), kecederaan atau kemalangan yang melibatkan tulang rongga punggung boleh juga menimbulkan masalah ketika hamil.

Pastu x jumpa dia sampai la 23rd Dec. Lama tu!!!! huhuhu.... Dah la my EDD on 25th Dec. Hopefully bila papa dia balik, barula baby kuar ye.... Amin.....

Baby @ 36 Weeks

By the end of the 36th week of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus almost fills the abdominal cavity, despite the fact that the cavity is greatly expanded by the stretching of its front and side walls. The well-developed, plump baby, in the membranous sac within the uterus, lies wholly within the abdominal cavity, with the abdominal muscles supporting much of its weight.

During this week, the fundus is at the tip of the xiphoid cartilage of the breastbone, which is shown pushed forward. The liver, transverse colon, stomach, and spleen (which is behind the upper portion of the stomach) are crowded into the vault of the abdominal cavity. The small intestines are crowded above, behind, and to the sides of the uterus. The diaphragm is pressed upward, reducing the vertical diameter of the chest cavity sometimes as much as 4 centimeters; to compensate, the space on the side, front, and back of this cavity increases. The capacity of the chest cavity is not diminished. This displacement of the diaphragm changes the position of the heart, and the increased blood volume may cause the heart to dilate slightly.

Although there is an increase in the amount of blood pumped from the heart per minute and in the amount of air respired per minute, the change in the position of the heart and the upward pressure of the diaphragm probably account for the difficult breathing and the smothered feeling you may experience during this week. The crowding of the stomach and intestines contributes to the discomfort after eating.

The cervix is long, thick, and filled with the mucous plug. By the 36th week, the vagina and urethra are elongated and all the tissues in the perineal region are enlarged, so the swollen perineum projects beyond the pelvic outlet in the last weeks of pregnancy, and is readily expandable during labor.

Mama Check-up @ 34 Weeks

Saturday morning, mama & papa g check up @ 34 weeks kat SJMC. Macam biasa, send my daughters at my parent house. Sampai SJMC dlm kul 8.00 pg. Then kat registration counter, mama dpt no 33. Sib baik bila kat kaunter klinik Dr. Delaila, dpt no 4. Settled check up & pharmacy dlm kul 11.oo pg jgk la.

Updates check up:
BP ~ 110/70
Urine ~ Protein (TRACE), Sugar (NEG)
Berat ~ 68.2 kg
Berat baby ~ 2.275 kg

Overall, my gynea kata baby sihat walaupun kecik. huhuhu.... Anyway, i got a gud news!!!! Alhamdulillah, kepala baby dah turun ke bawah. Dah x breech lagi. Baby mama ni very gud baby sbb dengar kata mama. Every night, before sleep mama selalu ckp kat baby suh turun ke bawah. Kadang2 tu terasa sgt baby tgh struggle nak turun. Sampai senak2 my belly ni. Bila dah letih, dia stop sekejap. Then sambung balik. Kesian kat dia. At last, berjaya jgk dia turun. Gud baby!!!

Berat mama pun dah naik 1 kg. Adussss.... Ni gara2 tiap2 malam pekena nasi lemak lah ni. huhuhu... Xpela, my baby punya pasal. Lepas ni mama pulak kena struggle & workhard to reduce my weight. So, next appointment on 28 November 2009 after Raya Aidiladha.
