Went for the last baby check up on Monday.. since my estimated due date is on 3rd May...
Did a CTG scan for baby heartbeat as well as my contraction rate. baby heartbeat is normal.. I am having contractions at about 15 mins interval..
Went to see doc after the CTG scan... she then proceeded to check if I will go into natural labour by myself within the period of this week.. and the results was quite disappointing... doc said that baby is quite high up.. apparently it hasn't even dropped into the pelvis yet... and my cervix is not diluted enough... only a fingertip she said... not satisfactory at all.. so she estimated I will most probably pass my due date and will most probably need help in terms of an induction... haiz... to think that I have been trying to avoid an induction for soooo long, previously because baby might be overweight and too big for me to give birth naturally and now in the end after waiting soo long, the result is still the same.. I will still have to go for induction..
Anyway Rick is right.. as long as mother and baby are safe... everything else doesnt matter... why even worry about the birth method as long as the baby comes into this world safety.. true...
I am trying to walk more, relax more and keep myself in a upright position more often in order to encourage the baby to drop into the pelvis.. hopefully it will work... however all the walking is freaking tiring..! I can barely stand/walk for like 5 mins before I start panting for breath, get a terrible backache and a urge to sit down to rest.. lousy me.. not sure if it is my stomach or just the entire body trying very hard to cope with the heavy weight..
