Alert... Overdue!!!

Placenta is still functioning well... Amniotic fluid is sufficient... baby is active. And what does that mean? It means that Mummy is going to stay pregnant for another week.

After the checkup yesterday, Dr. Lim advised us to see him again next Thursday with the view of going for induction when we hit 41 weeks. As it is, woman giving birth in their 40th week is not very common... I think we are the rare case of being able to hold until the 41st week. Felt a little disappointed as we all thought that we can finally get to see and hold Baby Matty by the end of this week.

Having discussed with Daddy... we have decided to monitor the situation for another 2 days before deciding if we actually want to wait that long. Mummy hadn't been able to sleep well the night before... laid in bed from 2.30 am until the next morning. If I lie on my right, Baby Matty will kick almost non-stop. If I lie on my back, I can't breathe well. If I lie on my left, it gets numb after a while. The whole night was spent alternating between left and right... trying hard to find a comfortable position to fall asleep in. We can't afford to allow that to continue for too long... otherwise Mummy's health might suffer due to lack of sleep and this will invariably affect Baby Matty as well.

Looks like we can only wait in the meantime.
