I just came from my 34th week check-up and my CS operation has been scheduled already on 22 November. This check-up was a bit different because it took longer than usual. WHy? Because, we had to make my birth plan already. A lot of questions and explanations, a lot of procedures to be done in order to make sure all is set for the big day.

I am adjusting. For one, it is my first pregnancy here in Australia. So I still miss the TLC given to me by my OB back in Manila. There are a lot of SOPs which you have to do on your own. Alvin, was not able to join me in almost all of my check-ups because my doctors schedule is only Tuesdays 9 to 11 am. It was too late when we learned that we could have chosen a doctor who is scheduled after office hours, so Alvin could have joined me.

I was asked if I wanted to have tubal ligation already on the day of my operation. Wow. So straight forward. Good thing I didn't have to decide right there and then. That needs a discussion between me and Alvin.
***
Midline cut again or bikini cut this time? Two opposing views. Which heals faster? Which will be easier for me?

My BP is still normal even if they still see a + trace of protein in my urine. A good sign. Hopefully it will still be normal until Sam comes out.

My journey for this pregnancy is almost over and I am but thankful that despite the rough start, I am still well. Baby's kicks are ok, size is okay as well. We haven't spent a single centavo on any of her baby equipment because of friends who have handed down their still new baby equipment.

Free CS delivery, baby bonus and not a single centavo to be spent as well on all her vaccinations. Who wouldn't be very thankful for that :)

Last 3? 4? 5 weeks? There are very bad days and painful days and exhausting days. There are good days, lazy days and exciting days. Sometimes I get peeved because I don't have any clothes left that fits on the belly area! (I am peeved because I don't want to spend anymore on clothes!) But bottomline, I think I can manage the last 3? 4? 5 weeks already.
