Is a Boy 3.4kg 51cm
0Finally after 2 hours plus of labor pain Niangzi successfully delivered our healthy baby at noon June 4 2010. Weight 3.4kg length 51cm
It’s amazing that Niangzi did not used any kind of pain killer to deliver Zi Zhen naturally. He is very chubby and fair skin.

1 June 2010 – Last Prenatal Check Up for week 40
0Today is my last prenatal visit to my gynae to check on mummy and baby condition before give birth. As usual, doctor check on ultrasound, internal exam and baby heartbeat. My cervix openings still same at 1cm. Again, baby is sleeping in the afternoon and no movement during the heartbeat check. Doctor asked to admit for induction delivery straight away (in fact, he asked for admit for induction since 23 May 2010). Doctor said baby is now post due (if ETD – 31 May 2010 based on my last menses) and better to induce soonest as possible as according to heartbeat, baby seems inactive and worried post due baby tend to passing bowel inside which will danger to baby. I got confuse which ETD to follow as my gynae in Singapore told me that the ETD showed on the 1st ultrasound scan is more accurate which is 6 June 2010. Today I cry in afternoon and night due to loneliness, helpless, stress with lots of worries and very pessimism. Thank you Xiang Gong for his optimism, comfort and consultation, I feel much better at night.

28 May 2010 – 2X Check Up on Baby Heartbeat at Labor Room
0Xiang Gong is back and he is with me for this visit. As usual, doctor check on baby condition through ultrasound scan and internal exam. Doctor estimated baby weight at 3kg where I find there is a big difference as previous visit doctor told me baby is about 3.4-3.5kg. Doctor then takes again the measurement on baby abdomen and again the estimation is about 3kg (may be there was some mistake for the previous measurement, anyway baby weight is estimation). This time doctor said my cervix had opened for about 1cm and asked to check for baby heartbeat. Baby was asleep in the afternoon and no movement after 15mins. Doctor then asked to rest for an hour to take my lunch and come back for the 2nd heartbeat check. After meal, baby seems energetic and got movement within the 15mins check. Eventhough Xiang Gong was not allow to enter to labor room for baby heartbeat check but I have no teardrop for this heartbeat check as I know Xiang Gong with my company at the next door. Again, doctor asked if to drip to induce baby out for this visit. Xiang Gong and I have same thinking where both of us hope to wait till normal bleeding or water breaking as no hurry to induce baby since baby and mummy condition is fine. We leave to Zi Zhen to decide which day he wants to be his date of birth.
Xiang Gong’s Hands Protection throughout my Pregnancy
0A pregnant woman has bit clumsiness during pregnancy. Luckily I have an alerted Xiang Gong who can respond fast when there is danger approaching to me and Zi Zhen. Example, he used to put his hands on my tummy in shopping mall when there were crowded of people or small kids running closer to me. Also, if there were humps or emergency brake along the road, he will faster put his hands on my tummy as protection. I feel sweet and touching at every moment Xiang Gong has this action. Thank you Xiang Gong daddy for your BIG hands protection. Niang Zi and Zi Zhen feel safe for these 40 weeks. GOOD JOB Daddy!
23 May 2010 – 1st Check Up on Baby Heartbeat at Labor Room (Scary Alone)
0As usual, I went for regular weekly check up for week of 38. I lost 0.5kg at this week but baby gained weight about 500g. I was shocked but doctor said baby weight is just estimation and accuracy should within plus minus 500g. This is 1st time doctor check on my genital part to have internal examination where I felt uncomfortable due to painful and shy. My cervix has yet to open. 1st pregnancy need to take 2 jabs of tetanus. I jabbed for 2nd jab of tetanus at this visit. Due to my weight loss and my tummy got frequent contraction, doctor then sent me to labor room to check on baby’s heartbeat and my contraction frequency for about 20mins. It’s so scary when I lay down alone at labor room. My tear drop because of the scary feeling, lonely and worry if doctor ask to deliver straight away. I was thinking of Xiang Gong and talk to Zi Zhen to wait for daddy to come back. Doctor explained on the chart of baby heartbeat and contraction. He said I got contraction at every 5-10mins where this is the symptom for early delivery and asked if I want to deliver today and he can drip to induce baby out. I refused to deliver today as I have no preparation at all and Xiang Gong is not with me. Anyway, doctor arranged the next visit on 28 May 2010 and if I feel heavy contraction within these days must standby to admit anytime for delivery.
Insomnia
0Recently I cannot sleep well because of frequent urine at midnight and also repeating dream of delivery. Xiang Gong and my colleagues asked me to relax and don’t think much or worried for unnecessary thing, try to find something to do to distract my tension. May be I was too bored at my mother in law place caused I tend to think of unnecessary thing. I have spent most my time in posting blog for Zi Zhen and packing things to bring for delivery. Sometimes feel tired in the afternoon and think of take a nap but still can’t sleep. Delivery day is approaching and my worries of labor pain become heavier. I sincere pray to hope everything can go smoothly, Zi Zhen and I to have safe delivery.
