Lhes, your tummy fundal height is high for 38 weeks. My Obgyne said after checking me up during the prenatal.
Based on my computation, your baby is 3kgs or more and you might not deliver it normally (enumerate some factors). I could feel the baby's head and ready to pop out,yet your cervix has no sign of dilation.
No wonder I hadn't had a decent sleep a day prior. I feel terrible pain on my hips, tummy and several trips to the bathroom. Plus, the baby was so restless and kept on moving until three in the morning!
After a series of conversations, she instructed me to be back on Thursday for a follow up check up. This is to determine if I had to wait until labor, or she will schedule me to deliver thru caesarean section 😖
With that, my mother in law encouraged me to walk around. That would be my entry for today's #Wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay and #makemesmile by @elizacheng.
I could not remember when was the last time I woke up this early just to walk around. See? Watermark says it's only 5:10 in the morning! Yet I am already outside, dragging my a$$ out the bed and having some walk even with my big belly!
Some says it looks like a ball!
Along with my Mother and Sister in law, we just walked along the road. Don't worry it was safe as only few vehicles are on the road at this hour. Spotted some areas that are under construction.
Actually this scene sometimes makes me wonder, are they really upgrading the road quality? You're just destroying it for a while for a budget. As it looks the same to me after the construction? Or maybe there is just something I couldn't see as it is not my field of expertise.
And this is what I mean when I say it was safe earlier. There was a barrier in between the road and those who wanted to have a walk/jog.
The pavement was not that spacious yet enough for two persons to jog together. There are a lot who passed by us, either in a couple, in a group or with their dogs. Mind you most of them greeted my in-laws with follow up questions ; who is she?
I might have been married to the husband but have not mingled with everyone. I mean this is the countryside, so as expected everyone knows each other.
Me? A stranger in their eyes said that I could no longer recall how many people I was introduced to 🤣.
Few more walks and I feel the pressure, and a sudden call of nature! This is one of the reasons why I don't like going out.
Petron is a life saver for allowing me to use the comfort room!
It's been thirty minutes of walking so we decided to head back home. This bench is so tempting to sit for a rest. Yet I find it awkward to decide to continue walking.
Next to the benches are potted plants, (golden rosary) that have outgrown their pots.
In between was this flower? not really sure if it looks like and not a fruit bearing tree.
But this one is! Guess what?
There are a lot of flowers and I am sure there will be a lot of fruits in the next months.
This is one of the fruits I love that I didn't appreciate back then at home. Oh, we have a lot in our backyard.
Now just seeing the flower amazed me and made me smile! Oh by the way it's a Soursop.
Hey Lhes, are you tired?, I heard my sister in-law calling me as she noticed I was a bit behind.
Just little bit tired and felt like my legs had shortened from walking. 🤣
I took at least an hour of walking today! Hope it really helps.
