(2014/11) Nov 2014 Mummies

i heard if BP too high, when give birth might have complications when not yet wk36 which bb is still not fully formed.

becoz my gynae also concern abt my BP. as my bp is always high when i c him. so i m under asprin since wk 16 onwards til now. to control my BP. so far so gd. another 1mth i can stop as hitting wk36 which means if anytime he find my BP not ok, i can go deliver. no need to wait. need to keep BP normal before wk36

Christine, I think better take the meds... better be safe than sorry, for water retention did you try sleeping with your legs prop up? It helps quite a bit, I had a little during 2nd trimester and prop legs up to sleep , now much better.
If no appetite still take a few small meals a day even 3-5 bites better than nothing. I take like 3 full meals and 2-3 snacks a days now .... I hope I can lose all the weight after delivery haha.
Does anyone here take baby aspirin? Do you know when to stop? I have been taking it ever since I was pregnant. Doc prescribed to me cause I miscarriage once at 10 weeks before.

which is better for csect, spinal, epidural or GA?? opinions?
Click to expand...

Hmm what's spinal? Vaginal delivery is better. Sounds gross but baby should optimally lick your canal as it comes out. There is good bacteria on your canal walls, which can strengthen baby's gut for the first 6 months of life. I read it in a magazine. But of course there r other factors like bfd, not bringing infant into crowded places that play a part too...so personally I would also b open to c-section

Spinal is like a one time injection to the spine.. Epidural is a consistent flow of pain killers to the spine something like that...
 
Has anyone start discussing on covering of duty while you are on maternal leave? My boss commented I would have to work through my maternity leave and asked me to start bringing back my notebook everyday starting Oct, in case I go into labour early. We are in the public service so we are not covered by employment act.

mine already confirm my 2 colleagues cover my duties. n temp gal juz came in last wk to help on other stuffs.
under ML, u shld not b touching ur work. unless is minor minor tings lor. tats wat i feel.
u in public service means wat? not govt sector is it?
 
We do not practice getting temps to cover ML of employees. If a colleague goes on ML, the covering officer has to take on her portfolio in entirety. That's understood and practiced throughout the organisation.

Layman refer to us as government employees or government sector. But we are defined as Public Service, ie stat board employees. I hope they are joking but for my earlier birth, I worked through my first month of ML. It was only second month that calls stopped. They were the ones who delivered my notebook to hospital and started chasing me for response when I was checking out of hospital. Another colleague from another department was requested to return for a meeting as well. Sian. Maybe I should flush my phone down the drain the moment I notified them I have given birth.

Are u kidding about being asked to work through maternity leave? Im working in a stat board too and there is no such thing as working through maternity leave. They should not even disturb you. Public service should set example for private sector to follow. You should report your boss to HR. What nonsense.

ohh... I have hep B so I was told cannot BF baby till 24 hours after birth. They will immunize her at birth.

Jas1982
For Hep B cases no need to wait till 24 hours later. The injection for bb is immediately after birth. Once done can bf liao.

Hmmm... so there is a diff between spinal injection and epidural? Is it just the dosage that is different or the way and the part that is injected is different as well?

Like you, I will likely work after my 2nd mth maternity leave. I do paper work from home so I got a fellow colleague to cover for 2 mths and will work again 2 mths later

I was told by gyne need to wait 24 hours... nvm will ask the PD.... I think injection site is the same, just that it is a single dose for spinal vs a consistent flow of pain killers for epi

Noted, but my husband prefers to name his own children's name by himself instead of others' advices.

Where can I get nice maternity dinner dress? I have several wedding dinner to attend...

Got this gorgeous gown from Etsy at US$50, would recommend the seller. He ships it fast. Going to wear it to a wedding next week. Only regret is I should have measured the length of the gown and stated it in my order - would have saved me the local alteration cost to shorten it! :)
 
Hi, anyone delivered in TMC before? just a bit confused about the hospital charges. I saw that they have maternity packages on their website. However, when i signed up with them, I was only given the cost breakdown of the different services and rooms. And it adds up to much higher than prices of packages. Do we have to specify that we want the package or it's auto inclusion?

I'm not slping well at night too.. Keep waking up.. Either due to full bladder if not due to hubby's loud snoring..
