Check with gynae first if you're suitable for donation. I think ard 32 weeks gynae can confirm. Then contact Singapore cord blood bank coz they need to do an interview and questionnaire before you deliver. I think when you're admitted for delivery the hospital will ask if you're donating then they'll take your blood for testing etc. Can check the SCBB website for the exact procedure but you must contact them beforehand not just when you deliver.

i heard my friend that if u want to donate your cordblood, SCCB might not accept also. depending on the quality of the cordblood. You donating your #2? this is my #1 so i thinking to store it in private bank like cordlife. i saw their website that they have upcoming event where i can go and consult for more information.Oh I see. Okay.thanks!
can go shopping at the event also ! >.< i guess my husband will want to hold onto my wallet just in case i overspend and buy too many unnecessary items. hahahah

Yes, Cordlife will be having a booth at baby expo on 22-24 aug. I'm storing my #1 at Cordlife & now I'm storing my #2 at Stemcord. Doc advised if can, don't put all eggs in 1 basket if anything happen.. Lol! We just managed to talk to stemcord consultant on yesterday & they are giving some promo. Hmmp.. Considering which I should store now.

@leocub , haha not really active laa... about once a mth only. Very minimum. If placenta low, better don't do.
@munmyk , don't worry about bb, well protected in the water bag. Just try in your most comfortable position. Ours is me on top.
@happymom2510 , previous preg. hubby also keep reject me. This round more experience so not so scared. Not pervert at all laa. I knew my problem, dry virginal! So when I know preg, got hubby to buy ky gel. Love making is very impt in a r/s even preg. But 1st both must feel comfortable.

@MummyNancy , heard about Sccb may not accept all cord blood too. But does that means it is not 'perfect' therefore they reject. If it's not perfect and we r banking it also defeat the purpose right?
I'm not too sure also actually. I din bank nor donate for my previous 2. Only recently then decide to donate for #3 after reading many stories on how own cord blood can't save own life.
If you got extra $, can store in private bank, take this as a insurance or a chance which the sales ppl always says. For a pc of mind.

@BunnyHorse , true! I think it's due to sugary stuff, but without sweet food or desert, my meal just isn't complete.. my carbo intake is lessen especially at dinner time to accommodate my desert.
Baby is 2.1kg at 33wks head down already. Gained 300gm in 2wks

I think it depends if you intend to direct latch at night? I bf #1 at night so she slept with me and nothing for CL to do at night so CL had more energy in the day and I could nap. I intend to do the same for #2-also sleep with me. If fact I only wanted a daytime nanny this time but costs more than stay in nanny so in the end just booked a stay in CL.

Oh and also CL will sleep in separate room. I'll sleep in our own room with hubby and baby. So actually our CL will sleep the best hurhur

Anyone here been asked by gynae to assign a PD? Actually, I've been 'auto-assign' a PD by my gynae... this is my first pregnancy hence dunno head dunno tail. Is a PD really necessary and what do they do? Are they supposed to be present when you are giving birth?
Sorry, really clueless here.... every time my regular checkup with gynae is very rushed and we got 'invited' out of the doc's room shortly after scan to make way for the next patient... Dun have to opportunity to ask more from my gynae and sometimes we feel he's only there to milk money from us..
Anyone has any good recommendations as I dun tink i want to take the gynae's referral? I'm giving birth at Mt A. Thanks

The pd is there to check your baby when he's born and to check everyday that you're in hospital. You can choose your own pd but must make sure the pd can be at Mt A to check your baby. I also let my gynae assign me a pd since my daughter's pd's clinic is at katong and I'm delivering at Mt A. Prefer to have a pd that's nearby. Anyway it's just for the few days that we're in hospital. After that can go back to our usual pd.

Mine is different,after i wewe sometimes drs still a bit of urine coming out,so my panty will get wet and smells stinky hahahahah,so i usually change my panty 2-3 a day.it helps trust me rather than u always wear pantiliners,coz if u used pantiliners all d time ur thing cant breath and actually its not advisable to wear pantiliners all d time coz most of my friends complain dr thing is smelly.i experienced that before also,drs a yeast infection in my thing coz everyday i used pantiliners even m just n d house.so my advice to u verine if ur n d house better change ur panty 2-3x a day. Hope ds will help u

@verine22 , i got discharge since 1st trimester till now. Sometimes thick sometimes just watery but enough to wet my panties. So sometimes I wear panty liner sometimes just put toilet paper to absorb the wetness. There r some days whereby I need to change 2 panties a day. Of cos I felt down there smelly also, sometimes urine smell sometimes the discharge stay-for-too-long smell. About 2-3 weeks ago, gynae prescribed me an insert. After that, no discharge, no wetness, no smell. Omg! I shld had gotten this long ago! Suffered for so long!
Hi ladies, I'm new here. Currently 29 weeks (EDD is 30 Oct) and it's my 3rd pregnancy.
#1 is 5 yr old boy, #2 is 3 yr old girl, and this baby is another princess.
Will be delivering in Mt A, just like my previous 2 deliveries. But am still thinking should we go for single room now since my hubby needs to be home with our 2 kids, plus the maternity package seems more expensive than when I delivered 3 yrs ago. The price difference for single room and 2 bedded is $1k! That's quite a lot right?
Been feeling dizzy lately esp yesterday. Googled it and it seems normal esp at 3rd trimester, since baby is bigger and maybe pressing on our veins. Anyone feel the same?

Verine, No leh, dr. need not chk my there but he mentioned so long not smelly and itchy then it's okay. Actually the discharge don't smell if fresh, only smell if it's there for too long. Cos sometimes after urine I wipe got discharge, I'll smell to confirm. Read the instruction for insert, can use again after 7 days. Well, I only used once. Anyway these 2 days my discharge came back abit, think it's due to I drink not enough water cos scare can't find toilet outside. Sigh, must really drink more to flush them out. But still controllable as in down there not so wet as before.

@shaztan , 1st tri my bp very low but 2nd tri high bp and sometimes I felt my blood all flow to my head at a shot especially when I'm agitated. Now in 3rd tri, bp low again so sometimes feel giddy. I guess it's due to bb sitting or pressing on the veins causing obstruct to the blood transmission. Can't breathe properly if sleep wrong position.
