Re: Coconut water

re: baby's weight
i hv a fren's wifey(petite) who had to go for c-sect coz her birth canal is too narrow to deliver baby naturally... my hubby calculated that bb's head circumference of 34cm will fit juz nice to 10cm dilation -- hopefully no need episotomy

 

[oj57]

Adv_sports > ya hubby how to do the calculation de ah? Got formula for that eh?

Jamie > Im staying at Blk 627...few blocks away from you only.

Porky > Last night my gal was kicking me so hard after my pee then I went insomia state liew. Ayoh.

So many mummies will be delivery on 10th May? How nice if that could happen cos it's Mother's Day leh!!

 

[m00n]

hi mummies..

Congrats to all thoses mummies that had pop.
I'm still waiting for my show time. These few days my stomach not reli everyday diarrhoe at least twice.

Re: Coconut
How much shld we be drinking? 1 per day?

 

[rc_cola]

Hi morning early birds

I am going to see my gynae later at 11am, nurse called up said he wants to see me to check cervix (another ve hiks hiks!!) dun tell me he wont let me go home after that hahaha!

Shers, i think we wont have same day baby liao, i dun want 30th apr bb, coz fil goes back by tomorrow early mornign flight and my mum is taking night flight here!!!!! dun tel me i will be so lucky to deliver in between that.. faint!!

Got crampy contractions since few nites ago.. and lots of whitish mucus, much much much more than the usual (the one i said a lot), this one i must say LOTS!!! (WITH CAPS!!)

 

[adv_sports]

sk, formula for circumference is pi(3.14) times diameter... for head circumference of 34cm, diameter = 34/3.14=10.8cm

moon, i drink coconut juice abt once a week since week 35...

 

[adv_sports]

rc_cola, wish u luck @ gynae check up later

if u deliver today, then friday discharge.. no prob right? coz ur mum oledi here...

me hv lotsa of brownish discharge... will check with gynae later, too... hope my cervix has further dilate

 

[m00n]

adv_sports,
Thanks. I only start drinking coconut this week ley. My edd is 8 may. Do u tink i can drink it everyday now?

 

[joyce_yong]

Gd morning ladies!

Okipoki:
I really think that you should not start pumping now as your milk is not established yet. Try to feed bb by demand, dun watch the clock. This will secure longer journey to BFG. Also, if you supplement bb wif FM now, your body may signal that bb will not need milk at that time, so, supply will be lesser. Plus, at this early stage, ur bb may have nipple confusion and become lazy when comes to direct bfg.

Coconut drink:
Can take upto 3 per wk, but I only take one per wk.

Contractions:
I also feel the contraction thingy, but not regular. It comes every few hrs.

Muffintop:
So envy, can work at home..

 

[joyce_yong]

Pain relief:

1. Laughing Gas: Heard this will cause bb to be drowsy when born.

2. Patitine (sp): This is not very helpful

3. Epidural: This is better, but, may have side effect for some pple. can also use this in case u nid C-section.

 

[rc_cola]

Adv
haha.. i dunno ler, hope he tells me sth.. but kinda miss my girl if i am not at home, she is very angelic these few days, kept saying HAPPY MUMMY IS AT HOME so melted rite? ;p

somemore i asked my mum to bring me cheese swiss roll hahaha.. hopefully can stil eat if I deliver already.

yup if deliver today okay, but tomorrow definitely cannot hahaha!

 

[m00n]

adv_sports,
Brown discharge could means u may be delivering soon. For my no. 1, I got brown discharge in the morning den i deliver on tat day around 8pm.

 

[poohwei]

Re: Coconut

I normally increase the number of intake by 1 from week 36 onwards. i.e: 36 weeks: Once a week, 37 weeks: Twice a week, 38 weeks: Thrice a week...

Type of coconut: I heard the younger coconuts are better but i just take any types of coconuts that i can find.

Hi glenlyn,
I am up so early cos i am a teacher!! need to report to work early.

 

[adv_sports]

rc_cola, wah, ur #1 very sweet

well, then hope u deliver 2day! *haha*

moon, maybe too liang to drink coconut juice everyday... maybe drink every 2-3 days? oh, this is the 2nd time i hv brownish discharge -- 1st was 3 weeks ago but doc stopped my contraction as baby is pre-term...

did ur waterbag burst or hv regular contraction after the brown discharge?

 

[m00n]

adv_sports,
My waterbag din burst. haha... tat time i very daring I still take my own sweet time to the gyne. Actually the brown discharge i got is around 7+am. But i only go to my gyne at around 1+pm. I start hvg regular contraction at abt 1pm.

 

[m00n]

adv_sport,
I think these few days my stomach pain and diarrhoe could be due to drinking coconut everyday for the past 2 days. For my no. 1 I only drink coconut on that day i deliver.

 

[adv_sports]

moon, u very steady

we panicked when i had my 1st brown discharge -- got admitted but false alarm...

this 2nd time, i had it since sat but remain calm n wait for regular contraction... so far nothing... will check with gyane later

aiyoh, maybe too liang... try to cut down and see whether ur diaherra gets better...

 

[rc_cola]

Adv
Haha.. sometimes she is a little terror,but these few days she has been good..

Re: coconut
that day i bought coconut, then i told the uncle "uncle give me the young ones hor.." in the end, the coconut is very young, inside no meat! hahahaha

 

[m00n]

adv_sports,
haha... now i tink back also very scary coz that time i heard many ppl say if got abit spotting can slowly go hospital if not go hospital also lie down there.

 

[xue_ni]

contractions:
im having contractions smtimes painful smtimes not every half hr. very uncomfortable. can feel my butt sng sng too. hope this time really hv gd news!!!

 

[jasc]

Congrats AK and Firefly!

I'm on leave today, tomorrow having very early appoint with gynae. As mentioned earlier, she may burst my waterbag in the morning if there's dilation of 2 cm and let me give birth by afternoon. Arranging my girl to go my mum's place and will pick her up on the day I discharge. So excited!

 

[feb_mum]

hi mummies,
good morning! me still waiting for the little one to come...

rc cola - your #1 is so sweet. my gal oso has been rather angelic these few days. she will hug me and kiss me when she comes home and pat me to sleep at nite. keep telling me she 'lux' (love) me. dun know whether is it becoz she sense competition coming?

 

[adv_sports]

rc_cola, i like to eat the meat in the young coconut leh *slurp* hmm, hope i can find one in KKH later -- drink before i c gynae

[adv_sports]

Yuki, many congrads!

Lily, great! m also taking A1 -- sms me ur ward number after u r admitted

 

[joyce_yong]

sng sng feeling:

Can be due to bb resting on some nerves!

 

[jasc]

adv_sports
Your app is 29 or 30 Apr? My app is 30Apr, opted for B1 since is just a night. I won't request baby to be at my side all the time because his cry may disturb other patients. I remember my #1 girl cried very loudly! Really hope to give birth soon. Tummy too big to move around, even my HB also commented better give birth early, very tough on me to move around.

 

[adv_sports]

jasc, my appt is 2day 29 apr -- opt for A1 coz it's our #1 and hubby wanna stay with me

yah, so tiring to move ard -- plus not sleeping well...

will PM u my number -- let me know when u pop 2molo!

 

[bb_hopeful]

firefly,
congrats again. such a quick labour!

adv,
petite dun mean cervix narrow. my colleague had to c-sect cos her cervix machiam heart shape. so, no way she can push her bb out.

 

[jasc]

adv_sports
OK. Take care and have a smooth delivery.
