Kiki,
Don't scare me leh
I tahan 3 weeks with the baby engaged until now (32weeks) Doc said the cervix is not dilated yet but effaced. No cervical length change for the past 3 weeks though and I'm watching for contractions. On one hand she tells me I won't be early but on the other hand she says I've got to tahan until minimum 34 weeks. So I'm quite confused by her!! Anyway, I always do things very slowly nowadays and try not to spend too much time on my feet..
Kiki/Pam,
I think as long as the baby weighs more than 2.5kg at birth it is considered ok already. Below 2.5kg, the baby would be considered as low-birth weight and extra tests would have to be run on the baby. Kiki, I read that too! Till the 34th week, all babies will fall in the weight range of average weight +/-10%. But after that, the fetal weight gain will vary tremedously due to the genetics. And basically, that of the mum. The heavier she was at birth, the more likely the baby is going to be heavy too. Cham, I weighed 3.5kg at birth... FAINT!
