My 36th week in the womb ~ 15 Dec 2008

MaMa and BaBa were so anxious to bring me for my 36th week checkup but due to car accident early in the morning along our way to Thomson medical center, the traffic had jam for more than 20 minutes. By the time we reached the medical center, we were very late. It's so surprised that Auntie Esther's family managed to reach earlier than us. hehe.. ^^ When Aunite Esther went to our clinic to register and queue, it's happened to know that Dr. Wong went to assist her patient in labour and all appointments were required to postpone to an hour or later. So Aunite Esther decided to have lunch at cafe first before returning to queue. The timing was so right that we only waited for about 5-10 minutes to get to our turn.
Dr. Wong had a thorough check on me once again and this time i even gave her a kick when she scanned me. lol~ She measured my weight and the result showed that i was 2.45kg. ^^ Dr. Wong was very impressed of my growing. haha.. she announced that i am a medium size fetus by now. Since i grew bigger and heavier than she expected, MaMa need not to eat so much for the last 4 weeks. If everything goes well, my birth weight will be about 2.8 to 3kg. Dr. Wong adviced MaMa to maintain a medium size me, so that she won't suffer too much and take too long in labour.
After my checkup, it was Auntie Esther's turn. BaBa, MaMa, Uncle Kenneth, Alexis Jie Jie and Alexis Ah Ma were there to give her moral support. Each of us were so keen to see the peanut size fetus in Auntie Esther's womb. The 2D scan was so cleared that my upcoming playmate was about 8 weeks old. hehe~ And we once again confirmed that the baby's EDD is July next year. As Aunite Esther's next appointment will be 12 Jan 2009, MaMa hoped that i can be out on my EDD (which is on 11 Jan 2009), so Auntie Esther and family can visit me first before going for checkup. Nevertheless, MaMa is more excited to wait for Auntie Esther's 4th month checkup. Hehe.. because by the time MaMa already finish her confinement and able to bring me along to visit Dr. Wong and say hi to baby boy/girl. ^_^
大家別懷疑, 我已經在媽媽的肚子裡住了36週喔! 再過3-4個星期, 我就可以出來跟大家說哈囉了~ 醫生說我的情況很好, 目前已經有2.45公斤, 所以媽媽從現在開始不用再刻意大吃大喝了. 如此一來, 我才可以控制我的體重在2.8公斤至3公斤之內. 醫生也建議媽媽儘量保持體重, 這樣才可以把中等體型的我用最短的時間生出來. 在檢查完畢後, 原本醫生告知媽媽可以開始做運動跟散步來助產, 但是由於她在12月18日~23日的期間內休假, 所以最後還是決定暫時先不要運動, 等她回來在進行. 因為醫生怕萬一媽媽過度運動, 有可能會導致我提早出世, 來不及趕回來幫我接生. 呵~ 但糟糕的是, 媽媽現在根本沒有多少體力運動了. 在最後的2個月裡, 媽媽的體力已經到達極限, 根本沒有辦法走太多路, 更別說要她運動了. 連逛個街買東西都非常疲勞, 每個週末也一定要留在家裡睡午覺補充體力. 目前媽媽的雙腳也水腫到不行. 平時沒有爸爸上下班接送的日子, 實在很想哭, 因為短短的30-40分鐘的路程就已經要她的命了. 媽媽深深得體會到胖子的心酸跟孕婦的不平等待遇.
從媽媽懷我到現在, 上下班搭捷運的時候根本就沒有幾個人與願意讓位給孕婦. 這段期間, 最多只有6-7次有人願意讓座. 更讓人驚訝的是願意讓座的幾乎都是男人, 而不是應該更體諒女人的女人. 不知道新加坡的公民與道德在哪裡? 覺得他們的教育跟宣導都很失敗. 自私自利的行為讓人很受不了. 霸佔博愛座不說還搶用殘障/幼婦專屬的電梯, 只為了節省時間來方便自己. 媽媽非常看不慣這種行為, 甚至寧願搭手扶梯多走幾步路, 也不願意跟哪些不懂得禮讓的人一起搭電梯. 因為他們並不會看你挺著肚子就多禮讓點. 新加坡真的只能用罰款這招才可以約束人民吧?! 回頭想想, 雖然台灣有種種的缺點, 但是在道德方面就教育的很成功. 儘管真的使用了博愛座, 當看到更需要的人也一定會讓出位子. 這麼基本的做人處世新加坡人怎麼就是學不來呢?! 不曉得是他們太以自我為中心, 還是以前老師在上課的時候都沒有專心在聽. 哈~
