week 36 to 37

This is my 36th going to 37th weeks of pregnancy.
It's getting closer and closer... and in my case it's very close because I'm having this so called Placenta Previa, in which the placenta is blocking the birth path. So, the way to deliver the baby is to have a surgery, a caesarian section procedure. The procedure is quite common nowadays and it's not as scary as it used to be as the doctor will only make a small cut to get the baby out

Thing that really needs to be taking care of is that I shouldn't experience severe contraction prior to the operation because it will harm the placenta. This is what's difficult. Why? Of course! Because I won't know when the contraction will happen and how. With the baby getting bigger now and with the age of pregnancy getting older, it's natural that I get some contractions as a result of the baby is reaching toward the birth path and the womb's getting ready to get him out :) but I can't have too much of it... :(

So now, I'm monitoring the move of the baby (he can't move too much as this may also harm the placenta, but he shouldn't move too little as well - so confusing! :D), the contraction that happen, and anything else that I experience. Luckily, I'm already starting my maternity leave so it'll be easier for me to do that because if I'm still working, I tend to forget that I need to monitor the baby - doesn't mean that I don't love you when I'm working baby... ;)

Anyway, I'm enjoying it... and we'll see what happen...
Wish me well!! ;)
