37 weeks

Had our 37 weeks appointment last monday and there was quite a crowd too at the clinic. The boy is sleeping in the car with mom and just nice before my turn come, the hub had to return tothe car cos he just woke up. So I went in for consultation alone and hope that the hub return in time.

Sat down for bp check and was questioned about my choice on Mount Alvernia. He warned that he might not be in time for the delivery seriously and I told him I am aware of the situation and if possible, still prefer my choice of hospital. A string of questions followed, epidural for 1st born, arrive early? any plans for early delivery (induce) etc to which I replied would want to go natural for the last question.

Proceed to scan and was later told that waterbag fluid is a little low thus would need to see him on friday morning for review. If everything is okie then we will wait and see otherwise might have the need for induce. I asked if there is any thing that could be done to improve the situation and was told no since it happen sometimes as baby matured.

I can't helped but feel a little suspicious and started doubting if it could have any relation to my choice of hospital that he is reluctant to go to especially so after the string of questions asked before the scan!! It certainly don't sound good and unwise to doubt the professionalism of your gynae at such advance stage of pregnancy but I could not help it after putting the pieces together. Such a dilemma situation to be in!

Even though it is still a 50/50 case on friday but I do have a very strong feeling that induced birth is going to be confirmed and I do not like it a single bit at all. Google and read online that drinking more water might help so going to give it a try, no harm.
