39 Week Check Up
Actually, should be considered 39.5 week, coz only 4 days to go as of yesterday.
I visited my gynae yesterday, and doc said everything looks fine, and he sees no reason to induce my baby yet - no diabetic, no high blood pressure, baby’s heart beat is normal, etc.
He didn’t scan baby’s size, only estimated with his touch, and told me that baby’s size is 3.2kg. And I asked him which is more accurate - his experience or the computer scan, coz computer’s measurement always a lot more than his!
Luckily he said that towards the later stage of pregnancy, clinical experience is more accurate, and computer results can be as far off as 500g. That comforts me a lot. My only worry is head diameter, coz he definitely can’t estimate it with his touch only.
Anyway, he said he will only consider induction labour, when I visit him next Wed. Alamak, another 1 more week to wait. So tired already. 
Not sure this will be on-the-dot-baby, or overdue-baby leh?
Oh, BTW, doc said my case is very weird, and he has never heard of anyone like me –> having less contractions now! I had 20-30 contractions a day, in the last few weeks, sometimes 3-4 times in an hour. But all irregular. In the last 1 week, suddenly my tummy decided to take a rest. I only had 3-4 times in a day now! Strange… but baby’s movement is good, so should be fine, I guess…
