Seventh PPUM checkup : 28 October 2009

Today I went for my checkup in PPUM. Hubby took leave and fetched me there. We are a bit late today and resulted in me to be the 27th person to queue up. I had to go for my ultrasound scan first. The lady doc said Angel's head is down and she is growing healthily inside. Everything seems to be normal and she is about 3.464kg. Hmm, pretty good, still it is subject to +/- 500g.
With the report, we went in to see doc for consultation. Doctor also commented that the head is down, but it is not exactly down to the pelvis area yet. Anyway, she said it would pretty much stay there till delivery. I am now 36 weeks 5 days pregnant. Doc said she is not worried if I deliver now since the baby size is all right and it will be full term come this week 37.
I asked for the symptons of delivery, she commented either blood stains with mucus, water bag burst or contractions every 15mins. If I have doubt when I had one of the symptons, it is advisable to come to the hospital to double confirm as they are operating 24 hours.
She couldn't determine my actual delivery date and asked me to observe if I have the symptons she mentioned.
My next checkup will be much closer, in 1 weeks time. For this checkup, my weight increased only 0.6kg, totalling to 8.8kg increase for the whole 36 weeks.
My feet still swell from time to time, seems very ugly to me. Still, I have to accept it. And good luck to me, counting down the days to welcome my Angel, about 25 days left.
