Hello I'm back. Latest update : C-section scheduled on 9 Dec 2008. That is if all goes well and I don't go into spontaneous labour at anytime.
The chain of events as scheduled by Doctor:
5th Dec 2008 (Fri) - Afternoon, 1st steroid injection to boost baby's lung development.
6th Dec 2008 (Sat) - Morning, 2nd steroid injection to boost baby's lung development.
8th Dec 2008 (Mon) - Morning, check into hospital to arrange for C-section and for operating theatre to be set up with specialists on-site.
9th Dec 2008 (Tue) - Baby's delivery
Some of mother's friends have told me the steroid jabs are painful and cause bruises on the bum. But let's not think about that now. And of course horrible stories of Caesarean sections. Aiyah, bo pian mah. Ma says she has a great threshold of pain and has never used drugs for delivery (what the!!). Let's hope i'm at least somewhat similar. However, i have an EXTREME FEAR of needles.
My stomach is the size of a basketball, having put on 14+ kilos to date. The walk up along the stairs to our 4-storey apartment now requires 1 stop before i get to the front door.
The complaints are common: swollen ankles, tiredness, reflux! And a sweet tooth for everything fattening. Oh no.
But enough of complaining lah. I'm glad everything is normal, I'm still able to be mobile and walking around, sleep like a piglet. And husband came down for 1 day! We had great fun just hanging out. And him feeling Baby's karate chops and crazy kicks at night.
So doc only wants to see me fortnightly and he's happy with the progress..that's good. By the time I deliver i will be at 39 weeks... ya and hopefully by then the renovation to the foodcourt at KK Hospital is complete and can enjoy nice hawker food there again...
So anytime now...

Hi Char!
You'll do great. Friends told me that they feel nothing during the C-section. Only the recovery after that's a bit mafan. And yes...high threshold of pain is good...I AM also afraid of anything surgical but Char was delivered with only panadol. We hope to see you in Singapore for Sze's Bucks Day. Will be praying!
Hugs, annie,ben&charlote
Hi.. Looks like I won't be able to make it down at all. Will keep you in prayers though. Take care.-Ruth
