Prenatal Check-Up #10

Today was the 10th prenatal check-up. Have to come to the doctor on a weekly basis toward the last few weeks of my pregnancy. There was a nurse trainee who did my weight measurement, urine test, and blood pressure today. Baby's heartbeat was faster today. He was probably very excited, heartbeat was about 150 per minute. Of course, just like last time, the doctor needed to examine my cervix. I was extremely nervous but well prepared, no matter how painful or uncomfortable, I would be brave and let the doctor complete the examination... Doctor said the cervix was open about 1 cm and still toward the back. Even though the baby's head is down but I need to walk and let the gravity to help the baby come down more so the bones and muscles will be ready for labor later on. The doctor said it was normal for me to feel pain on my pelvic area when I walk. Although it's painful, I still need to walk, in a slow pace. 

今天是第10次的產檢，接近後期都是每個禮拜要來醫生這裡檢查。這次是由實習的護士幫我量體重、驗尿跟量血壓。Baby今天的心跳比較快，應該是很開心，所以心跳是每分鐘150左右。這次當然跟上次ㄧ樣，需要內診看子宮頸。這次還是很緊張但是有心理準備，不管多痛或多不舒服都要勇敢的讓醫生檢查完....。醫生說子宮頸只有開一公分左右，而且位置還很後面，雖然Baby的頭在下面，應該走一些路，地心引力會幫助Baby往下，骨頭跟肌肉能放鬆打開。之前骨盤那邊走路好痛醫生說是正常的，雖然痛，但是還是得慢慢地走。
