2 Weeks Left of Couplehood...

Today marks 38 weeks of Baby Wee.

This week baby weighs 3.2kg. Mummy was rather concern as to whether she can give birth to Baby Wee naturally as the average weight of a newborn is between 2.5kg to 4kg. Being in Singapore, I guess the range will be much smaller. From what I've heard and read so far, a newborn should weigh between 2.5kg-3.5kg. During the last checkup, baby's weight JUMPED by 300g each week so I'm rather concern that he will be oversized at birth and thus will have to do a C-Sect instead of natural birth. Checked with Dr Tan this week. For her the MAX weight before a C-Sect will be 4kg. HENG ah!

C-Sect vs Natural Birth
I've always been one for natural birth. I keep telling myself, if the women of the past can give birth naturally with no pain killers and what so ever, I can too. Am I being too brave for my own good? I wonder. I keep telling myself with natural birth is a one off pain (for the delivery) while C-Sect takes a few days to recover. Yet natural birth has issues of tearing and episiotomy which isn't much fun either. I guess both ways somethings got to hurt. I mean just imagine a BABY coming out from down there... erm is it even possible? I guess so seeing how much my belly has been able to stretch to accomodate baby Wee. Oh well, we'll see what happens on the day of delivery. What will it be? All natural or natural with epidural or....

Congrats to Flin & Lawyer Tan on the birth of their son Baby D yesterday evening (15th Nov 2010). A short labour of only 3 hours. I do hope mine's not too long as well.

On a different note, Papa has begin preparing for labour and this is how he's done it. He bought an iPad. =P

Till next week ( I think I have one more post before I go into delivery) =)
