Week 38 + ??? - Natural or C Sect

Ok so we went for our weekly gynae appointment last Saturday. Hoping to know when baby will come out or if i can induce.

But gynae say amniotic fluid still not enuf / he cant see thru his machine. Baby head thou turned but still considered high. Also checked my cervix and its not dilated yet (mega sian) . And from my swelling,  im still not getting enough rest. Had to schedule to do a scan at tmc facility on Monday (today):

So here are the options laid:
1. If fluid is enough to keep baby safe,  then we can wait longer and see when he ownself come out.

2. If really not enough, then its better we schedule a c sect than to risk a failed induction (due to baby head not engaged,  or dilation not enough). This option is still better than emergency c sect lah.  Tmd sibeh ex.

Tbh after the checkup i was rather disappointed and sian. Despite walking quite alot (ppl say walk more easier to dilate),  climbing stairs at work etc,  end up still must c sect.  And feels like the past 1.5 to 2 weeks of being paranoid of labour is a waste of time and energy.

But oh well i guess i dont have a choice yea. Can only do whats best for the baby and pocket.

Went back to in law hse ytd for dinner and sil ask me how?  What did the doc say?  Can natural anot? 

Didnt know how to reply (if can natural who dont want).  And last time she did say before no matter what , try to go for natural.  Blablabla.

And then they commented and say my tummy still high..  Confirm not so fast.  (this one hear already lagi sian because i was really hoping baby come out like early , been waiting since start of 37 th liao) den she say like tt sure over due one. 
Sigh,  sometimes these comments meant no harm but seriously not constructive.  Worse is after that my mil oso start saying my tummy ya very high,  last time her one drop till where.  Mine sure not so fast.

And then they decided / jio us next sunday for dinner to celebrate grandma birthday.  I say orh,  ok,  if baby havent come out.  And they insisted wont so fast.  Sure can one.  (in a way just want us to say yes and ok) . But helloooo.  Its 39th week already leh.  Even if havent seh tbh also very hard and gaoweh to go out and eat liao...  Lehubz tried to tell them,  you never know when the baby will come and its not within our control.  But they insisted and so we said ok lor. 

My feet swelled up quite badly during the dinner and thank god for my awesome hub for helping me to do a long long foot massage when we got home. Really thankful and felt lots of 💞. Thanks to him, i dun feel so lonely and pekcek as much (as some friends)  because I know he will standby me. 

That aside.  Its the scan later on that determine how and when baby gonna come out. 

I hope the days ahead will be of less nonsense but i can foresee alot of ppl giving me more unnecessary comments and advices 😧

Please please please let me have the strength to brave and tide through them! 🙏
