Week 30:10 more weeks mama!
惨了啦！哈哈哈。。。还剩下10个星期了！开始紧张了～～
昨天才跟我妹妹聊起，我说我不想我的baby 那么快出世，还不舍得他离开我的肚子～我妹妹就说他反而希望他的 baby 赶快出世，哈哈。。。因为他说他觉得很辛苦～ 老公说可能我觉得不怎么影响我的生活，所以才会希望他慢点吧～哈哈。。
现在他在肚子里，安安静静的～偶尔踢踢动动我，还觉得蛮好玩的啊！哈哈。。等他出来后，可能就会很吵了～哈哈哈。。。不过我知道老公超想抱抱baby 的，因为现在毕竟好像只有我一个人爽，哈哈哈。。。
小Qoo有时候很好笑～总觉得好像很久以前的一个 kit kat 广告！哈哈哈。。她每次动得很厉害，我的肚子歪来歪去时，我就叫老公看～或则我会哎哟一声～很常时候，只要他的 daddy 一看或则摸，他就好乖好乖，不动了～哈哈哈。。daddy 眼睛还是手一离开呢～他就来咯！哈哈哈。。然后daddy 一摸还是看他有安静了～所以daddy 常常笑，小Qoo 这么小就怕daddy 了哦！哈哈哈。。。真不知道是巧合还是她有安全感还是她真的怕所以乖乖～哈哈哈。。。
Woohoo! You can finally see the finish line now that you're in the final quarter of the race!!!
Whether you felt like your pregnancy's been flying by or slower than a snail scaling Everest, you've arrived in your thirtieth week and your baby's cookin' beautifully!
In animal news: the fine lanugo hair that covers their little monkey-like body will start falling off this week in preparation for the big day.
Still, don't be too shocked if your baby ape is hairier than you’d anticipated. Some babies keep their lanugo after birth - which is totally normal, and it will fall off eventually.
Checking in on the fat factory: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs, thanks to their ever-growing layers of subcutaneous brown fat.
In terms of numbers, your big ol' baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long!
And how's mom doing?
Hey beautiful pregnant woman, have you thought about where you want to have your baby?Ultimately it's your choice and one you need to consider carefully because your experience in each of these environments will set a vastly different mood for labor, which in turn will have a direct impact on how you experience and cope with the pain of labor
In this crazy modern world, a woman usually has three choices: a hospital, a birthing center, or at home - all of which are perfectly viable and safe options, although there are several measurable benefits to less invasive birthing environments.
Hospital Pros and Cons
Pro: In the slim chance that anything goes seriously wrong, you'll have immediate access to a full medical staff and all the necessary resources to deal with the situation.
Con: If you're healthy and laboring normally, you're going to be exposed to - and potentially pressured into, a plethora of unnecessary, invasive and risky procedures and devices. Simply birthing in a hospital increases your risk of an emergency c-section.
Pro/Con: You'll have access to pain medication in the form of an epidural when you need it, but it's not without considerable risk to the mother, especially if given too early in labor.
Con: You can't sleep in your own bed at night, use your own bathtub or easily access food as desired.
Con: Medical staff may or may not be on your side when it comes to respecting your birth plan.
Con: It's expensive if you're an American, especially if you end up with a C-section.
Birthing Center Pros and Cons
Birthing Centers have popped up in the last decade in reaction to the highly invasive and risky birthing practices of many hospitals.
Pro: They're cheaper than a hospital.
Pro/Con: They rarely offer epidurals, but do have many different less invasive pain management options including a birthing tub.
Pro: They offer a gentle home-like birthing environment for women not comfortable birthing at home.
Pro: They're run by certified midwives and nurses who're trained to deal with all possible complications during labor and birth.
Con: You can't sleep in your own bed at night, use your own bathtub and food access is up to the Birthing Center.
Pro: Birthing centers are women-built, women-centered labor-positive environments that will provide you with much more psychological support during labor than you're likely to experience in the hospital.
Home Birth Pros and Cons
Pro: You're in your home, which if you've prepared the birthing space, means you'll not have to deal with anyone or anything unfamiliar or undesirable, leaving you free to focus on your labor and nothing else.
Pro/Con: You're signing up for a medication-free labor, which means you're going to have to be strong and focused during labor to get all the postpartum rewards and healing that a non-medicated labor offers.
Pro: There's very little risk of you experiencing c-section, forceps, an episiotomy, or any other risky procedures.
Con: In the unlikely chance something goes wrong and your certified midwife is unable to resolve it herself, you will need to get to the hospital when time is of the essence.
Pro: Postpartum sleep in your own bed, your own bathroom, your own food, your own space, no pushy medical staff who "knows better".
Ultimately, it's your choice and one you need to consider carefully because your labor experience in each of these environments will set a vastly different mood, which will directly impact how labor progresses and whether or not you'll have the birth you planned.
