Since I came home this evening, I've already received several phone calls and calls from "MSN". Everyone cares about when peanut will come out. Thank you so much. Peanut will be out soon, the latest, next Tuesday. Want to bet if it's boy or girl??
Well, I went to see the doctor today, three days past the due date as per the doc. The most assuring thing is THIS IS NORMAL. The doc said that she's dealt with this kind of situation quite often. When I asked why overdue, the doc said so far no one knows. Actually, for the whole pregnant and labour process, lots of things remain unkown.
The guidline in BC is induction will be performed after 10 days overdue for the best interests of the mother and the baby.
If peanut is still in the shell for the next few days, on Friday the doc will schedule me for an induction on next Monday. And on Friday, a non-stress test will be performed to check out peanut's heart. If there is still no sign for labour during the weekend, peanut will be induced on Monday in Women's Hospital. In fact, the induction procedure is quite simple: a gel will be applied to me to stimulate contractions.
So, you'll meet peanut on next Monday or Tuesday, the latest.
Frankly, I'm quite relieved after the appointment today. It seems that things are in control again. I really hate things out of control or beyond my control. It causes confusion and uncertainty. Now, I know what to do and there is a timeline there. It's quite a relief.
Another positive news is my doctor will be taking care of me during the whole process although she's still not feeling well. I can reach her for urgency, and she'll take care of the delivery. This is good.
Ai, peanut is so naughty already. It seems that without "invitation", he won't come into the world. What an attitude!
Peanut seems to be a naughty boy, as her HIS mom. I bet peanut is a boy then. Thank you Peanut mom for disclosing the answer. Ha...Ha...Ha....
ReplyDeleteWell... I don\'t think peanut will wait till next week. Everybody, get your cell phone, e-mail and camera ready!
BTW, how is Peanut Ba doing these days? He must be more stressful than the mom. Ha...Ha...Ha...
Yeah, peanut ba is more stressful than me. He\'s a kind of person who gets nervous easily. About the gender of peanut, we really don\'t know. I used "he" or "his" just for the sake of writing. So, keep betting. Don\'t be discouraged by the wrong guessing of banana\'s gender.
