The Balancing Act

As Baby Matty enters his 32nd gestational week, his kicks and punches gets more and more powerful.

However during the checkup yesterday, Baby Matty's head has turned upwards again. It was a no wonder that the night before, the kicks were felt at the lower abdominal rather than the upper abdominal. If he stays in the breech position we will have no choice but to go for cesarean.

Mummy hasn't put on any weight since the last time we visited the gynae. Still at 57.7kg although Baby Matty is right on target base on the measurement of his head. Dr. Lim pointed out that base on statistics, if the mother does not gain at least 7kg by the time the baby is due, the chances of the baby dying inside the womb is 2.8 times higher. I have to admit that it has put a little worry in me upon hearing that... but trying not to stress myself over it unduly as it will be equally bad for the baby.

So we made (or more like Mummy made Baby Matty) a pact that Mummy will try to eat as much as I can and Baby Matty will be good and try to turn his head downwards soon... otherwise when he gets too big he will run out of space to turn again.

Then again... breech or no breech... as long as Baby Matty is healthy... other concerns are only secondary.
