Went for my 30-week scan this morning, the last scan that Dr Chew has ordered for my pregnancy. Scan was at 8.30am and i completed the scan in pretty good time, at 9am! Compared to previous scans where there was a lonnnggg queue at the X-ray department, there were only 2 other patients waiting for their turn when i arrived! Hence the efficiency!
Today's scan was a 'growth scan' to track the progress of Bebe. Everything is normal and Bebe now weighs about 1.6kg. Throughout the scan, Bebe was moving around quite a bit - perhaps he could feel the ultrasound probe weighing in on him? Back at the clinic, it was rather quiet too with only a few patients trickling in. Hmmm... made me wonder if today is an exceptionally peaceful day?
Back at the clinic, while waiting for Dr Chew to check on me, i lay on the bed and once again, Bebe did his kungfu moves. Both Chee Meng and I witnessed his moving arm/feet (?) across my abdomen:) I told Chee Meng that i will record these movements one of these days coz they are just so cute! Dr Chew told me that Bebe is likely to hit about 3kg at full term, which is good, as he also don't want Bebe to get too big. I started asking him about the birth plan and was telling him about my preference for a natural delivery without epidural. He said that it is still a bit too early to discuss the birth plan but was supportive of my intention to not have epidural if I can withstand the pain. Dr Chew added that he cannot help me with the pain, and neither Chee Meng (erm... well, Chee Meng's hands are at my disposal isn't it??!!!). I told Dr Chew that women in the past did not have any of these pain relief methods, to which he said that women in the past were stronger and more resilient which is quite different these days. Hmmm.... can i be like the women of the past? I also found out that one of my colleagues opted for natural delivery without epidural and did fine! I'm so glad to have found someone who made this choice consciously and told her that i will consult her on her experience. She is now my inspiration:)
