Hi all,
How r u all doing???
Hope u all r fine, as I' m :-)
I' m in my 38th week, my EDD is 26th Sept. i.e. just next to next week.
now I hv been regularly visiting my doc every saturday.
This monday I had NST test to check the heart beat & movements of d baby. No movements were detected in dat test, so i had dat test 4 3 times d same day but same result. I thought dat doc will go 4 c-section.
But she asked me to go for u/s-BPS, which was positive so doc said to wait till 26th sept, 07. As there r chances of normal delivery.
I have applied for the maternity leaves from 17th sept, 07. Although, i feel i can continue my job, but all my friends & relatives hv suggested to take leaves & be active at home only.
TO avoid travelling at this point of time, as any jerk can be risky now, although i commute by chofer driven car.
I also hv started having mild swelling & pain in my feet.
Back pain is there as usual.
All other things r normal BP, etc.
I have gained 12-13 kgs. till date.
However, my baby is still under 2.5 kgs, which i feel is underweight but d doc hv said dat this will help in normal delivery & the baby will gain 300-400 gms till 26th sept if dat be d big day.
I can' t understand how I will pass my time at home.
Although I live in a joint family & my mom' s place is also nearby, so i think i need not worry much & who knows how long i' ll hv 2 wait.
I will get paid leaves for 84 days as per maternity act & i' ll hv to join in 2nd week of december.
However, I' m not sure when i' ll join back.
I may plan for further leaves also, lets c.
But now my only concern is that i should give birth to a healthy baby.
My hb was low in 36th week i.e. 9.7 but now i hv improved it to 12 by changing my diet plan. I eat cornflakes in morning with milk, i take 2 boiled eggs daily, 7 almonds soaked overnite daily, 1 pomegranate daily, 2 glass of milk.
Also, remember to cut your nails on regular basis as these can lead to worms in ur stomach which doesn' t let iron get absorbed in ur body.
Let god hear my voice & bless me with the cutest & healthiest baby in this world.
May i be the luckiest mother in this world.
God plz. plz. bless me, this is all wat i need now.
Rest all the mommies take care.
Regards
Maanya
peppy replied. Hi All,

Am in the 39th week and my due date is 30th sept. No symptoms so far. have an app on 19th. Seems mybaby was in occipito posterior (chin up and facing the world) position, doctor indicated for C sec as a possibility. As my baby is 2.8 Kgs, and still floating and great chances are there for normal delivery.
So waiting and watching...my mom has arrived and she' s also eager towards it.
As far as Maternity leave is concerned, I am quite lucky, I have got Work from home...till I deliver. And after that 4 mths maternity will start.

Pls pray for my normal delivery and healthy baby.
And All the best to all the moms to be.

Cheers
