Im finishing my 38th week & going in to my 39th and guess what ????????????? I AM STILL PREGGY !!!!! lol ....Went in for my checkup last Wednesday and the doctor did a ultra sound and found that the "amniotic fluid" in the water bag is reduced. So he sent me to the delivery ward to get a quick checkup on the baby's heart beat and so on. Apparently when the fluid reduces it either means labor is nearing OR there's something wrong with the baby's health.
After half and hour of being under observation, I went back and met the doctor and all seems to be fine with the baby's health and most probably labor is nearing for me!!! I was told to monitor the baby's movement as well as if the movement is seemed to be less than normal, it means that the fluid is reducing. "Take Note " !!! IF YOU IN YOUR 9TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY, your baby's movements should be monitored 12 hours a day, etc 9am - 9pm. Minimum movement should be atleast 10 times in the 12 hours.
P.S : Rapid continuous movements will be counted as 1.
So the next day I did a movement check on the baby & I found the baby's movement less than 10..being worried I decided to rush to d hospital that night, as usual they took me up to the maternity ward and strapped me up to monitor the baby & GUESS WHAT ?! from then till the whole night, this lil princess of mine was moving non stop !!!!! and the nurse were asking me are you sure you counted properly, cos your lil baby seems to be super hyper !!!! Everything was ok and I got back home.
Am not sure what's my lil girl up to... I am so eager to see her and she seems to be taking her own sweet time :'( !!! Well let's wait and see. My next checkup is on Monday. Everyone is suggesting for me to go in for induce, I have not decided on it yet. Let's meet the doc on Monday and then decide.

38 Weeks & Still Preggy
Im now in my 38th week of pregnancy and still no signs of our lil princess's arrival. I am tired of answering people why isn't my baby out...hahaha even I can't wait. Just wanna get over the MEGA DRAMA and get my lil princess in my arms!!! Everyday I am going for long walks to the park or the nearest mall. For a change since Murali was on leave, I bugged him to take me for the Indian Fair in midvalley, walking there was CRAZY the crowd was tremendous but WHO CARES?! I enjoyed shopping !!! hahaha I got myself alots of things..Sadly there was nothing much around for Murali but he got himself a nice leather biker's jacket which he has been looking for sometime.
Almost everyday I am doing some physical exercise as my mum keeps pushing me to do so. Which is good and will help during time of delivery....As I tire myself... I do get contraction but goes of after sometime.. it just does not wanna stay...LOL
Last week I just decided to take a pic of my tummy and later that day Murali & I went to jusco for a walk... walked for about 2 hours non stop. Saw a lovely gorgeous top and wanted to try it on... So I went in to the fitting room n took out my t'shirt, was shocked to see my tummy looked like it had dropped. Came home and told mum to snap another pic of my tummy and MY OH MY what a huge difference it was.
Elders were saying your time is not yet, your stomach has to drop which indicates that the delivery is getting nearer, but I expected to see it dropping gradually and not just in a day... Below is the snap of my tummy taken in the morning & night of the same day. Unbelievable difference
While waiting I'm still preparing, Today I woke up & decided to pack a small basket with a few necessary things for our lil one including few pairs of cloths and kept it downstairs, so that I would not need to walk up and down or get anyone to run up.
It has taken me 3 days to complete this post.

The False Alarm
So as I mentioned in my previous post...this wait is a KILLER MAN !!!!!!!!!!
I am starting to get anxiety attacks every now and then....My BH ( Braxton Hicks ) which is also know as false contraction is sort of playing basketball in my life..LOL
The contractions have increased compare to aweek. It's alil hard to differentiate or rother alil tricky the actually contraction and BH. It's all about timing to know if u are having the actual one or the false one you have to keep timing ur contraction frequency.
So yeah what happen last Friday was, I had these contraction pains of and on which were about 1/2 an hour apart. Not so painful but the tightness were there. Followed by pretty discomforting period pain & back aches. It came almost about every 1/2 an hour for about 3 times.
Since It was frequent as that I decided to call Murali to get back from work and went to visit the doctor, apparently he was not around and they decided to send me up to the labor suite to be checks. The nurse immediately brought me in and got me strapped on to the contraction & baby's heart beat monitor.
She monitored me for half and hour and claimed that the contractions were not frequent enough. She then decided to check me from the bottom by inserting her 2 fingers right in which was hell of a pain. Only then I my "sub conscious memory power" sang this to me " HEY BABY !!! THESE IS JUST THE BEGINNING, THERE'S MORE THAN THIS TO COME, SO CHILL & RELAX ". Lol !!!!!
Since nothing happen she told me to go home & to come if the contractions were 10-15 minutes apart and each last atleast 1 minute. So disappointingly I went back home...and from then till now I am still WAITINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Waiting is a KILLER
I am finally over with my pending bridal appointment and 100% set for the hospital. I am just waiting for " THE TIME " to arrive.
Some how waiting is such a KILLER !!! You don't know if you will be going in to labor today, tomorrow, or next week or so...
Everytime I get any sort of pain, I have to observe it. My contractions are alittle more stronger this few days and it's increase to twice a day.
My baby's movements have slowed down alittle as well in this two days. I guess shes preparing herself to come out.
I have to wash my hair two days once so that I am prepared to rush to the hospital. Basically all I do is just sit and wait for some sort of sign to show up !!
Bottom line... WE especially ME can't wait to get over the labor and have my bundle of joy tight in my arms <3
Full Term Chills
Entering my 37th week of pregnancy which makes me full term pregnant and to be able to deliver anytime from now, gives me slight chills. As much as I am being positive, you know the evil devil always intends to pop out and ruin the positivity in us !!! With the "what if " "what if " LOL
Ok Let's not talk much about the evil devil !! So yeah I am all set to go in for labour anytime. When I say set I mean in all ways not just the bag LOL. Anyhow I have one final job to be settled which is my bridal on the 1.6.2014 . I wish to deliver on the 5.6.14 though so lets see how it goes hehe...
My salon packing is almost 90% done. The rest I guess my husband can see to during the shifting.
My bags has been packed since last month or so.
Baby's things is all set
Cash all set
Everything all done.
Now all I have to focus on is my walking and light exercise. Not forgetting my prayers !!!!! ALL IS WELL !!! God will be there with me that's for sure. So lets go thru it with a calm mind everything will end well <3
SAI RAM <3
