Firmed

It's confirmed....bb2 will be induced on 1st July 2012, sunday. We will be checking in at 9am.

The visit was a fast one, check bp, scan. Baby is head down, shown heartbeat, tummy etc. He did spenda little more time scanning around which I assume he is watching for waterbag fluid level. I am still bearing hope that we could wait and see.

Then returning to his desk, another string of questions; are you working? would you be free? etc. Issue admission letter and was asked to meet him at the labour ward. Asked if there is a possibility for us to wait and he advised that most likely once the waterbag level reduce, it will go down further. Most of the time mummies would perfer to have the baby out soon. Meanwhile would need to monitor baby's movements, at least 10 times a day.

Guess I have no choice but to respect his professionalism (hopefully) but I was greatly disappointed about having to induce. It's hard to hold back the tears as we discuss it among ourselves (with the hub). Mixed feelings since I would wish to carry meimei slightly longer in the tummy and have all the excitement noting the signs of labours while on the other hand, knowing a fixed thingy could be a good thing.

Well, all is firmed now so nothing much to ponder and reconsider over again though we did toy with the idea of inducing on 2nd July instead so meimei share the same date as mummy's birthday. On 2nd thoughts, we decide to let it remain and being Youth Day on 1st July, meimei will have school holiday on her birthday all the way till secondary school.

Anyhow I prayed for a short and fast labour, a smooth delivery and meimei will be a happy and healthy baby, nothing matter more than that!
