At Week 37 & 38

The space in the womb is getting tighter. Jijie's movement is restricted and more defined. I have been having hard time to sleep between 0200 - 0400 hrs almost every night. It feels like air is trapped in my tummy and the dinner ended up as vomit in the toilet bowl. That was about 4 consecutive nights before finally on one fine morning, I experienced stomachache. It doesn't stop. Thought it was air and i drank ENO to expel air. The nagging discomfort started at 0700 hrs and by 0930 hrs, I decided to go to Hospital Penawar with my sister for checkup.


At about 1100 hrs, finally it's my turn to see the doctor. Doctor said, " Actually, you are having contraction.. you are going to deliver today... You are going to be admitted into the ward." I went, "Huh? Jijie.. we are just 2 weeks away from schedule. If this is the case, then there will be no Columbia Asia Hospital for both of us. After all the travel back for check-up... "


So, Jijie came out at Week 38, 2 weeks ahead of schedule. That was about 19 days ago. Now I am busy with Jijie the baby boy.... Bryn Isaac Lam Ai Jie.
