3.2.2009 – Count down – Day 42

Hema got up early and got ready to go to the hospital for Scan. She was feeling slight giddiness while she was getting ready. She became normal once we left the house.

Baby movements in the morning were normal.

Once we reached the hospital they checked Hema’s Blood pressure & weight.
Blood Pressure: 130/80
Weight: 77.2 Kg’s

During the scan we saw baby’s head / respiratory system / lungs / spinal / ribs / abdomen and also part of the face. Baby was hiding its face with its hands & not letting us to see it clearly. Doctor commented it as a shy baby.

Is it shy? Like father like son or Like Mother like daughter? Or is it starting trouble?

Doctor told to continue the medicines & also gave prescription for cream to avoid itching. (The cream is nothing but Lacto Calamine beauty cream) Also doctor told to take GTT test & call her after getting the result. We bought some more vitamin tablets.

During the day baby is moving & kicking normally. Evening we went out for dinner. Hema felt little leg pain in the night and after applying some pain oil she felt ok. She slept fine.

2.2.2009 – Count down – Day 43

Nothing special happened today. Both baby and Hema were fine. Baby’s movements and kicking were normal. No pain or vomiting sensation to Hema. 

Another example for baby is listening or understanding the surroundings is that whenever I am near Hema to see the kicking or to talk it remains silent and even it is not moving but whenever I move away from Hema it starts to kick or move.

Interesting isn’t?   Tomorrow we have a Scan appointment with Hospital # 1. We are just waiting to see the baby in the monitor. 

1.2.2009 – Count down – Day 44

It was a normal day. Hema & Baby both were fine. The kicks & the movements were normal.

No Vomiting sensation. Slight back pain but it was bearable.

First time today I SAW the kicking myself. I saw the stomach vibrating when the baby kicked.

I was speaking to Hema & teaching the baby the alphabets & asked the baby whether she understood & that’s when the baby responded with a sudden kick. We can see that the baby is listening. Hema said she didn’t feel any pain but it was an enjoyable kick.

Vomiting sensation, slight abdominal pain & back pain continued today.

Baby listens to music & responds. Baby movements and kicking were normal.

Even though there was no vomiting sensation during the night, Hema had irregular sleep.

House cleaning work was going on whole day. Friends along with their family visited us. Lot of new information / suggestions / advices regarding the health and the baby were given to Hema by the visiting ladies.

Nothing special other wise.

29.1.2009 – Count down – Day 47

During the day both baby & Hema were fine.

In the evening we had a nice & long walk. The climate was fantastic. Surprisingly Hema didn’t complain of leg pain which she always does after having a walk.

But during the night she felt vomiting sensation & back pain. She had very irregular sleep during the night.

Baby movements were normal. Hope baby enjoyed the evening stroll because baby slept quietly in the night.
