Week 41 - EDD+5

We went for a check up 5 days ago on your EDD. I was supposed to be induced then as the doctor was afraid that you may get too big and make labour a little more difficult. There were no contractions still except for a lot of Braxton hicks tightening. We did an examination and found my cervix very soft and I was already 1.5cm dilated. The doctor allowed us to progress naturally since things are going well. He tried measuring your estimated birth weight and it went off the scales! He tried again and got a 4kg registered!! He then said it's probably not accurate as it has only been about a week and I had lost half a kilo myself. Anyway, he gave us another five days which is today before we think of what to do next. Baby, everyone is waiting for your grand arrival! Ah Gong has been here for two weeks now waiting. The confinement lady Ah Mei Che came over a week ago! Even though she agreed to come a week earlier, she now seemed bored of waiting too as she has nothing to do except to cook for us. My friends have been calling or texting to see if you are ready to meet us yet. So when do you think you want to, baby?? Anyway, I continue to pray that you will come naturally without being induced. At God's perfect time, I will start to contract and dilate and help you out. I pray for a fast and smooth delivery without any complications. See you soon, pumpkin!!
