40 weeks nearly past, due day is on the way. Still wandering when the baby will come? What do I need to prepare? What will be happen...... Too many questions!
Today, we have the Dr's follow up in hospital. Before seeing the Dr, I plan when will be the due day, do I need induction....as I don't want to wait too long.
However, the midwife & the Dr suddenly said they want to induced this Thur night(20/7/06). Derek & I are shocked and do not know how to response. The Dr said the baby is small in size, and there is a large fibroid inside, they don't want to risk the baby to wait so it is better to have her induced earlier. Of course, you know Dr always use techniqical terms and frightening words as you ask them for any side effects or complication for induction. Even though I am working in the medical professions, my tears still cannot control. The fear & uncertainly is really difficult to bear, another case showing we can control nothing.
In review the last 40 weeks, God is with us. He takes care of us, only HE knows what is good for us. Every time when I was in stress or despair, HE is there to guide and comfort. So I still have strong trust in HIM.
When we return home from the hospital, I can see Derek is in stress, he is not prepared to have the induction this week, he would like to seek for 2nd opinion. I understand his worries, but seeing another Dr. will not really make much difference as I still be having the delivery in this hopsital and within this or next week.
We pray together, though still in shock & tears but I feel the calm and peace.
God know I am the kind of person who need to know what is going to happen, being induced I have a exact day and I will have a clear mind. Anyway before seeing the Dr, I plan to induced next week, it is just happen 1 week faster and without our mind preparation. So making us so shock.
Only God knows best. Please pray for us especially for the safety and health of the baby, the smoothness of the whole process and the peaceful mind for Derek.
Hopefully , in next passage, we can see this beautiful little girl.

yes, things change suddenly. a completely different story from speaking to cf just the day before.
now you have a happy birthday fixed, jul 20.
welcome to earth! what's your name, gal?
cf,
as a woman i can't imagine your position but i remember tai told me he was really fear when i was in hospital during the night when the water came out but tintin is yet to be born.
being a father is also not easy!
but be calm, we have God and we have good medical support
as tai said, those living in africa can give birth so easy in the middle of grassfield. God will surely deliver the baby as safe as DHL
ct,
understand your worry and fear, but being relaxed is more important. having induction is not that worse, at least you will try to give birth yourself rather than c section and the length of the pain should be less under induction. put your body in the hands of God, he should be the one who determine the birthday of your bb, not your or cf's anticipation.
CT,
Do you remember few days ago when we were talking on phone, you said you feel sick and couldn't sleep well every nite because of the big big tummy? And you worry your BB not yet be born before your mum comes next week? God knows it well and prepares the best for you--You can get rid of the sickness soon and can return home from hospital and settle down before your mum comes.
Agree with Kitman that though understanding your worry and fear, induction is not that worse. Look forward to saying hi to your bb.
每次看到你們的分享，無論是喜或悲的，也讓我看到你們在主裏，很有血有肉地學習交託的功課。你們很清楚自己的性格，正如你們所說，很多時候也習慣事情按計劃進行，這其實沒甚麼不妥，只是神亦願你們在主裏學習交託更多，這不是挺好的嗎？回想你們過去在香港轉工、租維德大廈、移民、搬行李及至在澳洲最初找房子、到又搬屋、失業、又有新工、生女......統統也有神在當中，與你們同行。
願主抹乾你們的眼淚，安慰你們，到BB女出世時，發出喜悅的歡呼!
