At 34 weeks

And since my little one was sitting head up all along, yep she was in breach position, no matter I tried stair climbing, lying on four legs - meaning, put a soft towel on the floor and bend your knees and put your head on the towel and breathe in and out for a while, all these tricks doesn't work on her and we waited till the 34th week for her to do a jump. And after that, the gynae advised me to go for an elective ceasarian. She said it's best to do the c-section atleast 2 weeks before so there won't be any contractions and advised us to do it in between 14th Oct to 21st Oct as my due date was 1st week of Nov.

We were consulting a lot of astrologers for an auspicious date, since we believe the birth time is more important to know about her future and a lot others like marriage, etc.

We found the dates 16th, 17th, 19th and 21st were best to do. But if she is delivered on 17th, then she may have the same astro sign and star as that of her father, so we avoided it. Then 19th, which happens to be a Sunday, so we skipped it and 21st is a good one, but my husband's sister is against it, so we skipped it and the only available date we had was 16th Oct 2008.

And at 34 weeks, we decided to do an elective c-section on 16th October 2008.

Gender of my baby

Well,I was very much intrigued about the gender of my baby. Maybe because I was wondering, what kind of dreams I can have, meaning treating a boy and a girl will be different right. So I was ondering whether i'm going to buy my kid a pant, shirt or a beautiful skirt with all those fluffy things. And I''m not very sure whether I need a girl or a boy. So all the while I was thinking as long as she is healthy and possess good brains, then am fine.

My husband was telling me that we can wait till the delivery to know about the gender. But during my 5th month scan, the doctor told me, that I'm carrying a GIRL. I was not prepared and I was at complete loss on how to take this. Should I feel happy for carrying a girl or if it's a boy, will it be different? Very confusing, but learnt to take it very calm and composed. And I know she is our darling angel.

Long Long Time

After a long long time, I've come back to see how my blog is doing... yep, gotten in the whirlwind of pregnancy and other complications, I finally have get to see my cute cute little one and she's more worth than the pain I've gone through.

In short, all these days what happened to me was:
I was having spotting for a while and it was very much worrying, but the doctor assured me nothing was wrong with me or the baby and it's common. Since it's my first pregnancy, I was very tensed. And sicne I'd a full time job, I've to manage both the job and the pregnancy.

When I get worried about the development of my baby, I've asked the doc to do a Ultrasound every visit to get assured everything was normal.

Finally after being through all these stages, I've delivered my cute little one on 16th October 2008 and you know what she is the most beautiful baby, I've ever seen. :-)
