I have been working
till week 39 but at the start of the week 39 I was down with severe flu, sore
throat and phlegm so I took around 1 ½ week medical till my due date. As I’m
writing this now I’m 3 days passed my due date. Despite my walking, climbing
stairs and active life style baby seems to be settled well inside me. Now on 31st
March I personally do not want him to arrive on the 1st April. So
today and tomorrow I will take it slow just being a couch potato!
In the meantime I’m
under continuous monitoring for baby’s heartbeat amniotic fluid etc., to ensure
he is fine inside me. I’m also at a higher dose of insulin now at 8-8-10 all 3
meals to control my blood sugar levels as well as baby’s weight. Last time he
was approximately 4kgs.
By end of this week
i.e. maximum by due date + 5 days I will be induced. I’m still hoping for
normal delivery. As per last check with midwife baby’s head is nicely
positioned and I was dilated. So I’m still hoping that things will go smoothly
with the long awaited arrival of my baby!
I would also like to
mention here how supportive and friendly the family clinic - Fertilitas has been
all throughout my pregnancy.
