Wah..I got a shock when the doc I saw yesterday estimated baby's weight to be in the region of 4kg! That's like a 1kg jump from last week's estimation. My doc previously told me that she doesn't think my baby will hit 4kg leh.
The first concern that I had was, "Will I be able to give birth naturally?"
But that doc also said that it was not impossible to give birth to a big baby naturally. So she did not give any other recommendations and just told me to wait for baby to come naturally.
Some people say that it would very difficult, painful etc, when the baby is very big. But there are also some who say that it's not impossible and it all depends on the cooperation between mother and child, and on God of course :) And of course, some say that the estimation may not even be accurate in the first place. (Well, we'll see :p)
Well, anyway, the weight issue got me a little unsettled because I am aiming and have been praying for natural delivery.
My doc will be back from overseas tomorrow. I called up the clinic to ask if I could shift my appointment next monday to this friday instead in case baby still doesn't come by E.D.D. and she's quite big. But... somehow God did not let me successfully shift the appointment forward. Instead, the nurse told me that my doc may still want me to try for natural delivery anyway, given that it is really not impossible. (My doc is someone who believes strongly in natural delivery) So yup, the arrangement is to call up the clinic on friday to see whether doc thinks there is a need to see me before next monday. A sis-in-Christ said, "that's God's will:)"
In the meantime, I am learning to believe God...relax and not fear. Ultimately, He is in control.
Hoping for natural delivery still...:p
