Hi Katherine, which hospital will u be in? I might also choose 12 June for the c-sec. I'm at TMC...
we could be just neighbors in the ward hehe...
Hanaa, try to eat more beef and green vegs esp. spinach.. They can help increase iron level naturally... I also just did a calculation, need to probably pay 4k cash for hospital bill + doc fees (c-sec). Luckily my company covers maternity bills up to 4k for c-sec so hopefully all is covered!!!

Hi momoko, I will be at mt a! Initially we wanted single room so now am thinking of changing to double room, cos the difference of $2k can use to buy other stuffs! Hehe..
Any mummies giving birth at mt a on 12jun? Maybe we can share the same room! Hahah!
Oh yah, my hubby and I are thinking of putting our baby at pcf sparkletots at punggol east or my first skool under infant care services..any reviews on that?

hi all, it's monday again! visited gynae last Sat. bb is big at 2.65kg at 33 weeks. was advised to eat lesser and cut down on carbo if I want to have natural birth. was shocked coz 2 weeks ago, bb was 1.6kg. i've gained 20kg already, waddling around like a clumsy buffalo. aching limps and so frustrated by the hot weather!
feel so tired but can't stop working yet, not enough leave and reluctant to use ML. : (

estaefran, request some HL from your gynae to rest at home? ...
Katherine
My pressure is up since last mth. My previous check up gynae gave me mild blood pressure medicine to take.
Yes, blood pressure too high is not good. Mt #1 was due to high blood pressure, got blood below. Went back to let gynae check and I was told to admitted to hospital immediately for emergency c-sect. Gyane told me was due to high blood pressure than got blood not because of bb coming out.
Must take note of blood pressure and have enough sleep.
Most probably i will stop work after next week, so that i can have enough rest and to minimum movement.

ic...c-sec in 1 month time....should rest at home .... 6 June - my wedding anniversary ...heehee
Haha.....the nurse told me if I want my gynae to do c-sect for me, safer date will be only on or after 4 June and his day for c-sect only on tuesday or thursday, so hubby chose 6 Jun. Abit risky tho coz my edd is on 15 June.
Congrats congrats. Can still go celebrate before bb come out.

ST, no luck in getting HL. my gynae is very strict on issuing MC or HL coz so far I don't have major problems except for the backaches. but my condition improved after doing prenatal massage.
yest i think i didn't get up properly and pulled a muscle, today sharp pain when i move my left leg. don't want to waste time to go to see gynae, so most prob will go see GP later for MC.

Gigi Soul: I bought maternity pad from pureen last time for my first delivery but I really hate it. It gets out of shape easily and not very absorbent. Only good thing about it is it's quite soft.
This time round I bought Laurier F the premium range (packaging from Japan one) with a length of 34cm for havy night use to use as maternity pad.
I have opened one to see and the surface is very soft
You can give it a try. At least the shape will hold better IMO.

Katherine - so far doc hasn't warned me about my diet. It seem each time I visit him my weight increment is 1-2kg and BP ranges between 60/90 to high of 70+/110 he doesn't seem bothered. But I heard it's common for BP to suddenly shoot up towards the end so I'll be careful too.
Gigi Soul - I bought mine from Mothercare. Like mattress type. It's very soft but no wings. Quite similar to Kotex ones IMO.
Estaefran - wow your baby must've gone through a growth spurt! As long as you and baby are healthy
me too, cannot tahan this hot weather kept telling my husband we can only hang out in airconditioned environment.
Kome - are you anxious now the date is drawing near? When you say 'risky' do you mean you're worried you'd go into labour before elective CS date? I don't know if baby can stay inside till almost 39wks... My EDD is 10th June and I'm thinking ELCS on 31st May. Any tips to let baby stay in the oven longer?

Ya.....quite anxious but at the same time worry that bb too anxious to come out before the elective date. Haha.....i wish to know any method that can let bb stay inside me longer also. Now what i can do is to minimise my movement and take more rest whenever i can.
My initial c-sect date was also on the 31st May but the nurse told me that gynae will not be back in SG yet so i have to push to further date.

I bought some sleep nursing bras from Mothercare they're quite comfy but the best ones are from Emma Jane! I got two of those they feel so stretchy and light. All the bras I bought are unpadded.. Feels more comfortable.
Katherine - better check with your doctor about those cramps. I had that one morning thankfully it went away.
My worst discomfort daily has to be my pelvic joints... Feel so weak and achy in that area like it really cannot support my weight anymore.

Hazel: sleep nursing bra (non padded) - very comfortable to wear but not suitable to wear if you want to go out ....cos if u wear T-shirt, can easily see the shape of your breast & nipples...not very nice...
Those underwired one....not recommended to wear during first few months as it can cause blocked milk ducts but I will still go for underwired one....will look more confidence when going out....at least the breast wont look sagged

Katherine: cramping maybe a sign of contractions so best you call up your gynae and enquire. At this point in time, should have that regular cramping. If they hurt, all the more to get checked.
My nursing bras also non padded but choices quite limited. Why cant they have nicer nursing bras! We already feel so down with our body already!

I got my nursing cover from this lady http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.153285814739311.37341.152102824857610&type=3. She got 2 types 1 cover back n front and the other just the front. Last time i brought the nursing cover which was too thick and when i was outside trying to breastfeed. It feels very hot and i was sweating, so this time round i looking at thin and more airy material.

I have Mon Petit Jardin (MPJ) Nursing Poncho (bought it from pupsik studio)...it is fully covered, can use it as blanket, sun shade ...but it is too thick and baby will feel very hot and sweat while breastfeeding...
Still thinking if I should get another nursing cover (front cover only) ...

Hi Katherine - I experience the itch too... my areola peels lo... dunno whether is it due to expansion... i apply physiogel...
Hi everyone,
Am new here, first time posting in this forum. Glad to see the forum is much more active now as our due dates draw nearer!
I'll be going down to the Baby Expo this weekend.. still got some stuff like baby mattress yet to buy..
Im also getting the itch, not just on the chest but also on the abdomen area.. sigh, think its PUPPPs.. itchy and red dots that spread. Hopefully they'll clear up soon so there'll be no issues bf-ing and doing skin to skin when baby is born..
Anyone went for the strep b / swab culture test already? My result came back positive so am starting to worry..

Katherine: I am worse leh. Sometimes my nipples itch! So much so that I have to resist scratching them.......
Melissa: I got my swab culture test today and result is negative. Are you given any medications yet? Heard there's nothing much to worry about. Your doc would just prescribe some antibiotics to treat.
