Pregnancy#2 : Week 30

We're back in KK! Yay! But sadly, DH flying back to JB 2mrw... :-(  Had an appointment with my new KK Obgyn at Rafflesia Medical Centre. We decided to deliver baby#2 there mainly due to convenience. It would be easier for me to drive over for my routine check-ups and it's very near to the airport; DH can dash direct from the airport when the time comes for me to deliver... I hope and pray that he'll make it to the delivery room in time!

As of today, baby#2 weighs approximately 1.5kg... and Dr said it's 1000% girl.. hahahha.. I still have quite a number of 'orang tua' telling me that my tummy looks like I'm carrying a Boy.. We'll see :-p My current weight is 66.5kg, I gained 1.5kg since my last appointment on 1 July. And yes, I'm still suffering from excess salivation!!! arrrghhhhh!

I'm now trying to figure out how to get a midwive from the govt hospital to come over to the house to check on baby#2 after she's born.. I'm especially terrified of newborn jaundice. A friend told me that such service is available. Harap2 I can get one. Last time, I hired a nurse from a private clinic. Unfortunately, she doesn't do house calls anymore :-(

 Baby#2 is lying on her side. The umbilical cord is covering her face.

ethel, Octavia here...couldn't help but to comment:).No need pi jauh2 di QEH. You can go register yourself at polyclinic penampang.Once they have your record they will go and see you when you have delivered. Inform them as soon as you have delivered. Diorang ada buat service house to house tu to check on the baby. You will be around Donggongon area jugabah kan?
