37th week

Yay! 37th week today!

Was diagnosed with having GBS based on HVS during last visit to gynae. Was prescribed antibiotics and have completed the whole course.

Gynae attached a note to my appointment booklet. Was informed by her that I need to carry it around with me just in case I go into labour. Once in labour, that note will inform the medical team that I needed to be prescribed antibiotics via drip to reduce the chances of the baby contracting it. I really hope that everything will turn out fine. Gynae told me to quickly go to the delivery suite when I'm in labour.

With Princess, I was in labour for 1 to 2 hours before I gave birth so chances are high that baby no. 2 will be quite fast too.

Gynae did the cervix dilation test and told me that my cervix was already 1.5cm dilated. Yippee!! Nearing labour. She asked whether I wanted to be admitted but I chose to wait coz the pain is manageable and I really want to experience all the works. With Princess, I was induced as amniotic fluid was running low.

I'm not too sure whether I should start my maternity leave early since I'm already dilated. However, I do have the fear of my waterbag bursting when I'm at work. I'll be speaking to my superiors on Monday to seek their advice.


Alrightey then. Counting the days!!!
