Sam: Goody, you'll look pretty in your photos!
Echo: Mine too. One BIG GLOB...i was telling Jowin that it was about one tablespoon. It happened to me twice yesterday. Then today, nothing. My discharge became normal as usual.
Emeraldbride: Yep, i know that we're supposed to +/- 300g when baby is finally out. I'm happy that Preston is about 3kg now but it also means my tum is getting even heavier. My gynae said the pain i'm experiencing when i walk is inevitable cos i'm small-sized & all the weight is pressing down on me.
Feel very miserable.

Hi Mummies,
Its my turn to pop this coming tuesday! Went to my check up today, doc says my BP pressure is still quite high, baby is quite big and my sugar level in blood is high too.
Will be checking in the hospital on Monday nite and baby will be induce the next day. Abit worry cos Doc said if the induction doesn't work, then I'll have to go for C-sect and I'll be charged double.
Fong2 - Won't be able to be neighbour with you liao....
Tollyjoy sales - Just went this evening, quite a few items very cheap.
baby wipes - 3x100pcs @ $10.90
Detergent - 2 boxes of 1 kg @ $9.00

Thanks for the info on the mucous plug..
I'm getting quite a lot of discharge, especially in the mornings..but its still watery type so i guess that's not it. *phew*
Now i'm in super-paranoid mode. If i get BH very consistently (like now!) and feel like passing motion at the same time, i say a short prayer first. haha... I know my baby is ready to be born, i.e. size, gestation ok.. but still would love to hang on a bit longer.

gill - thanks for the link! Hope i can still do some last min spreeing!
Jazlyn: Me too. Never book for any preg photoshoot cos i'm a bit self-conscious of my spine. My right shoulder-blade juts out more due to my curvature.
My mom bought all my confinement stuff too! My MIL doesn't really know what to buy...
Llig: I actually cannot wait for my baby to come out. I'm feeling a lot of pain in my groin area, especially when i walk. Sigh...
jolynash: You can see your baby soon!!!
All the best & i hope you don't have to go through C-sec.

Loveangel - Thanks! I was feeling alot of pain in my groin area too especially when i stand up after sitting for too long. Can't wait to see my baby but still kinda worry if the induction doesnt work.
Jolynash - All the best! So excited for u. Do update us with ur birth story and post ur bb photos here. =) Actually i hope to pop this week but dun think it's possible le.. Then i hope next week i won't pop cos my hubby will be away to KL for his training.. Hopefully my bb will stay till he comes back.. Tml is my next appt. Wonder how big is my bb now. Can see that my tummy is going low le..

No doubt that there will be articles out there in the web that state the benefits of eating the placenta. They can be really interesting reads... But do you trust these articles?? Even I take scientific peer-reviewed articles in my field of study (developmental biology) with a pinch of salt.. Did those studies show u the no. of women who benefited from them.. the statistics.. what parameters did they use to measure these benefits..
And if u want to mention corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).. There are studies that show that Increased CRH levels may be associated with increased placental resistance. which may be assciated with intrauterine growth restriction. But on the other hand, CRH appears to protect the embryo from aborting.. Again.. like a lot of things, moderation is the key.. we need some... but too much... any hormonal imbalance is definitely no good..
I hope u dun get offended by what I have said... this is just how i feel about placentophagy.. =)

Hi ladies! Hee...I've just booked my Brazilian Waz appt at Strip Cathay for this afternoon. Very nervous. Will come back with review!
Gynae said he'll be doing VE for me next week (Wk 38). I'm getting a bit bored here. He has been repeating "Your water is borderline. If it goes too low, we'll have to induce you" for 3 weeks liao.

hav received reply from in d womb. they are home based n assured tt all procedures are carried out under strict hygiene. no certification or licence.
hav consulted in d womb n my dr abt consumption, not advisable for mi as im a thalessmia minor. not sure how much iron content is in d placenta so safer for mi not to take in case of iron overload. =(

No offence taken of course, we are just exchanging views here.....
My post was primarily meant to point out that...contrary to what you think,
1) there have been scientific studies done on the benefits on the placentophagia. I do not vouch for their accuracy and but it is interesting to note the different theories that have been put up...
2) The act of eating one's placenta, is actually practised in other cultures, in America, Europe, Mexico and Hawaii as well....
Though i do not plan to eat my own's placenta, I do, however, understand why some of the mommies might be interested in doing it....Many of the practices we adhere to during pregnancy/confinement, do not have scientific benefits per se, but many of us still practise them religiously....I'm sure you have been or will be practising some of them to a certain extent as well....
These practises include not eating pineapple during pregnancy, taking certain tonics during pregnancy/confinements......
As far as I know, no other cultures practise the above, but as such practises are deeply ingrained in our culture, we find that we sometimes choose to believe than otherwise.....
Therefore, to each her own, there is nothing wrong if some mommies choose to process their own placenta for consumption purposes.......

sam, i really like the cabrio model but only up to 1 years old or 13kg and i wanna maximise my investment for the car seat..hahaha, so bought one which can be used up to 4 years old. 
I only got 15% disc n when i asked further for more discount, they cant give.. now i m thinking if Robinsons or Metro will be cheaper if they have 20% disc - which they are having on 26 - 27Nov for cardmember preview sale..but not sure if they carry maxi cosi.

ya, i understand .. I only want it cos it can be attached to my Buzz .. actually I oredi have an infant car seat ... just die die want a Cabriofix so can use with the stroller ...lol
YA LOR. Stupid only 15% .. that's why I'm hesitating buying till now .. I know Metro doesn't carry Maxi Cosi ... Robinsons too. hmmmm Mothercare with my friend's discount also 15% ... I might as well get from Mothercare .. then can participate in whatever promos the mall has ... buy from that Baby Hypermart won't have anything ...
That's why I'm thinking hard about buying from them .. UNLESS THEY offer me MORE than 15% discount ... looks like they don't want leh ... hope they are stuck with plenty of Maxi Cosi carseats .. LOL ... (sour grapes) .. hahah.
