33 weeks checkup

Had my 33 weeks checkup at the hospital with a midwife yesterday. Baby's growing well...am always happy to hear her heartbeat and they sounded great!

Went for a talk in the last evening about caeserean. Now I know what is the difference between a spinal and a epidural. For my caeserean, I will be given a spinal block. It does sound scary this time round although it is all planned out unlike for Caleb, it was an emergency caeserean and everything just went so fast. When I had my epidural, I was already experiencing temendous labour pains therefore couldn't feel the needle going into my spine. This time round, I reckon I will be really tense as I will be concentrating on the needle going right in! But I guess this time the surgery will be faster? The last time, I had complications therefore the surgery lasted much longer so hope this time it is chop-chop and I will be wheeled out to see my baby sooner. *fingers crossed*

Baby has been moving a lot recently. She is really active...trying to do karate kicks and chops inside my belly. I was waiting for her to have her hiccups but she dun seem to wanna do that. Caleb used to have lots of hiccups inside me. It's really cute when he does his hiccups as I can see my belly jump every few seconds.

Anyway, 3 more appointments at the hospital before my big day comes. The next appointment on the 19th Nov is with the Anaesthetist, 23rd Nov with a doctor/ obstetrician and then 3rd Dec with a midwife and then my big day on the 10th Dec! 4 more weeks!!! Counting down....
