Hi Today my baby is 36 weeks and 1 day, about 2.7 kg, gynae said may be another 3 weeks more! Since last 2 weeks I've lost 0.6 kg due to diet monitoring but overall baby is gaining weight. My boy should be about 3 - 3.1 kg when born.

So far there is no VE or CTG done, my app with gynae will be weekly from next week.

Obuba Nursing Cover,

Audrey ,I am an online shopaholic too ;p hahaha.. cos it'sdifficult for me to move abt during my first trimester as i was always feeling tired hence got addicted to online shopping ever since ;p

I bought the obuba nursing cover for myself and my friend in Dec last year. Design is nice but material is rather thick (it's not soft cotton , material thicker than shawl ), must use in air con room definitely.

Travel

I cant wait to travel too! Cancelled my snowboarding trip in Feb cos doc advises me not to travel throughout my whole pregnancy as i had a few emergency cases and he's afraid medical facilities is not readily accessible overseas.

Travel
I am planning for one trip in Dec/Jan in Japan and have even bought my baby 's snowsuit, fleece top and pants for the trip from online heeheee..... they look so cute but MIL and mum keeps advising against it cos they said it's too cold for the baby . Anyone has experienced bringing your baby to cold countries?

 

[porky_jean]

hi tinkle mum,

If you have a citibank credit card, you can sign up with their partner GLobeshopper http://www.citibank.com.sg/SGGCB/APPS/portal/loadPage.do?tabId=Credit%20Cards&amp;path=/promo/det/cc_globeshopper.htm and they will provide you with an US address which will allow the US merchants to send your purchases to this address . After which they will arrange to send from the US address to Singaoire via DHl. By far, i find this (shipping charges) cheaper than Vpost .

 

[carolinequek]

Thanks Star!! Cos i just tried the link Xue gave me during lunch and I was told I don't have access to post! Aiya...

[carolinequek]

Star - the Citibank Globeshopper account allows me to buy from ANY US site? Even those not listed as Citibank's merchants?

 

[5star9]

Hi Tinkles Mum,


Yes, you can buy from any US websites. For sites that do not accept SIngapore credit cards, Globeshopper/ Borderlinx has a free concierge service and you only need to fill up a form indicating website and items you want to purchase and they will purchase for you using their US credit card. And they will transfer the amt to your credit card (at no extra charge).

 

[carolinequek]

Thanks Star - But the cost will be more expensive after the shipping with us and also when the good arrived in SG?

 

[5star9]

tinkles Mum, you are welcome

There will only be 1 shipping charge from US to SIngapore.

[shers]

hihi.. finally login after whole day of meeting..

lily and sallen, thanks for yr concern.. i'm better today.. lack of iron.. thats y yesterday giddy..

went for check up yesterday.. gynae commented that my bb is quite small.. 2.6kg at week 35.5.. so ask me to beef up.. i ask him abt ways of beefing up.. durian, can eat but not too much because of sugar, beef, i ask for medium rare.. he says not too often.. he says best is MILK!! and he asks assistant to give me 1 can of similac mum and many many packs of enfamum!!! i nearly faint~~ he says by the time he c-sect me at week 38.5, bb shld reach 3.1kg..

i put on 10kg last week.. but when i weighed again yesterday, i lost 1.1kg.. gynae asked me y like that ar?? kept asking me to eat and eat.. though i have put on nearly 10kg..

jamie!!! yesterday, i ate beef steak and salmon sashimi!!! whahahaa...

 

[cheyanne]

wah...2.6kg stil consider small...then i guess i really super small...

haiz...dun care...as long as healthy can liao..

 

[5star9]

Shers,
Tot the recommended weight for babies is 2.8kg so the delivery will be easier. Perhaps yours is c section hence doc wants u to beef your bb up .
I still dun know what's my bb's weight , my Gynae doesn't tell me though I asked. So I dun know if I m eating properly or if I should eat less

I have gained abt 9 kg by far

 

[muffintop09]

shers, my bb 2.6 kg at 36 weeks leh. doc didn't ask me to put on more.. i was tinking bb quite big liaoz, better cut down on my ice cream, milo... ur doc still ask u to add ah! i put on 13 kg so far..

 

[beaupeau]

Sorry mummies if I cos any inconvinece.

 

[cheekz]

hi mummies

i found this link from baby centre that tells you the ave fetal length and weight as the pregnancy progresses.

check it out!
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/fetaldevelopment/chart/

shers,
according to the chart, @ 35 weeks, the ave weight is 2383gms, so you are definitely above average!

 

[cheekz]

sharon,

i bought stuff from gymboree before when i was in the US. I like their stuff, good quality but get it during sales. its very ex when its not on sale!

 

[aichiensl]

Hi Cheekz, Joyce also mentioned the quality is good.
then maybe should really consider the spree, and now also got sale...
can go to this link http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/590029/2330986.html?1239164114

 

[adv_sports]

915, haha, after the rehearsal, we know where to go when time to deliver

i hope to go natural without epi -- gotta discuss with my gynae due to my allergy to pain killer...

star, wow, u even bought snow suit for ur baby!! i also told hubby that i wanna resume my annual ski trip after giving birth -- he said he will babysit bb at the cafe while i ski

 

[cheekz]

sharon,

i am v tempted but my #2 will be inheriting alot of nice clothes from her older sis. For our #1, i couldnt resist temptation and ended up buying too many clothes that she only wore less than 3 times! Need to be very disciplined now

 

[joyce_yong]

Gymboree accept overseas order...

 

[bb_hopeful]

adv,
take care ah... dun do so much!
u alrdy late 3rd tri, now short cervix dun have to worry la. unless gynae tell u dat in 1st or 2nd tri, then have to rest more.

xue,
i'm doing placenta processing wif Mummy Cozy Haven.
i thot confinement is either 28 or 40 days?

[5star9]

[lc_gal]

Hi ladies,

Today I went for week 36 check up and baby weighs 2.33kg. Gynae was concerned with baby weight and growth. Otherwise, the water level was good. everything ok.

Gynae will start seeing me every week from next week onwards. She also did a VE but I was not dilated, though baby's head is down. Baby is not engaged.

Gynae also did the Swap test to check for bacteria at the vagina bottom. Will only know the results next week at the check up. Hopefully its fine, or else she said during vaginal birth they need to add medication to prevent the baby from getting the bacteria/infection.

That's my update from today's check up. Any mum2B gone for week 36 check-up? Pls share.

I am excited n hoping to meet baby boy #1 soon. Probably another 3 weeks time.

 

[baby_may_09]

hi adv_sports, take care. Must be a scary experience for you. Hope that everything go smoothly for you and your baby will come out later.
