Apart from the usual unbearable itchiness and pain whenever baby decides to do some stretching in the womb, it’s been pretty much the same for the past 2 to 3 weeks. The only thing is for the past few days I’m feeling menstrual-like pain more frequently. And its taking me longer to stand up and walk, after sitting for some time, without feeling as if the tendons in my backside is about to snap.

I came out from my OB’s clinic yesterday morning realising I’m closer to the finishing line than I thought.

Before the routine ultrasound scanning, he tried to feel where the baby’s head is with his hand. After a while, he said my baby’s head is deep and fully engaged, he couldn’t feel it anymore.

Ultrasound scan revealed everything is normal. Water around the baby is sufficient. Heartbeat is fine. Overall, my baby’s growth is progressing well within the normal range. His weight is estimatedly to be nearly 3kg now.

After the scan, my OB said I’m very close to delivery. In fact, if I don’t go into labor naturally within these few days, he’s admitting me for induced labor on Mon or Tues, depending on me. It’s going to be natural birth, fingers crossed if everything goes well. And I’m giving in to epidural again.
