38 Weeks Check-Up

This morning was our 38 weeks check-up at Adventist Hospital. We reached there about 9.00am. As usual we proceeded to the registration counter and were given our queue number. The nurse then proceeded to weigh my wife, took her blood pressure and ran a urine test. Everything was fine except her weight had gone up to 75kg!!!! Can you believe that? Of course not..I'm just joking.. But the truth is her weight did go up a little bit higher than the last check-up which was one week ago. Doctor said this was mostly due to her swelling feet and hands (the effect of water retention), which is nothing to be worried about since there was no sign of pre-eclampsia.

Since my wife couldn't really feel our baby's movement as frequent as before, the doctor asked us to go for a CTG scan (CTG is short for cardiotocograph) mainly to monitor the baby's heart beat.

The CTG scan lasted about 20 minutes. While waiting I decided to snap some photos.

*The machine next to her was the CTG scan.

*The green sticker on her shirt shows that no HINI flu :-) All visitors were screened upon arrival at the hospital.

To our relief, everything was normal. We can't wait for our baby's arrival but that's nothing much we can do other than keep waiting.............................

Will update more on the next check-up.
