Week 36
Baby is still slightly smaller than average size. Mummy, however, has gained another 3kg that makes a total of 14kg.
We did a growth scan, baby growth rate falls within normal limit, placenta of good height, amblical cord blood flow normal, except aminotic fluid is reduced. Aminiotic fluid seemed to be the water bag level. Dr Wong explained that it was due to lacking in absorption of nutrients which also explained the size. It's not a big matter, just that Dr Wong would not want baby to stay in my tummy for too long if the aminotic fluid index is going to below 6cm which is now 6.7cm.
Therefore, it also means, Dr Wong would like to induce birth next week if the aminotic fluid does not fall at favorable index.
Looks like we will be seeing Lucas soon....
