Anyone delivering at Mt Alvernia? Haha.

Hospital bag - I will just pack essentials like extra maternity pad, breast pad, nursing bras/dress, disposable undies, baby's coming home outfit, maybe this time I wanna prepare a playlist so can calm/relax me during labour and breastfeeding. I will also bring my ring sling. I think that's all!


How abt the rest of you? ;)

@angel_loi , socks? Hair accessories also.. comb, hairband, small mirror.
Oh ya , toothbrush & toothpaste!

@beac , download song in advance is a good idea.

@popie , sweater is a must! Cos don't know if hormones sudden change, might feel chill after birth. Although sweater is not in sight since 2nd tri started.
 
Actually I brought a small pillow for my last delivery. That's why I was like runaway from home, brought a big bag. Haha.. think this round I'll still be bringing 1 along. Got my "home smell" otherwise can't sleep.

my edd 24th Oct..TMC. but anyone wonder how accurate will our babies really come out on the edd date?

Don't think we will ever know when baby will come unless we take elective c-sect. My first was induced on Edd, second 2 weeks early. Now third one super early contractions.

Most people say subsequent kids will be earlier.

Mine is one day after yours popie.. but scared early also as 1st is 2 weeks early. this one really cross fingers. hopefully also 2 weeks early max..
 
My first was 38 weeks too. Induced cos I have spotting. This round is my second. So I'm hoping for a quick and natural labour. Haha been practicing my breathing techniques and stretching at yoga. Keeping fingers crossed!!!

Hi popie, when is yr EDD? U start to experience contractions already? How does it feel on u? Day or night time? Frequent?
 
leocub said:
Thanks popie.. i'm looking for it. generally hows the quality? prickly? i went mothercare to look see.. they are selling like $75 for 2 pcs and it looks so granny like.. :)

@leocub

Actually quite comfortable. But if you buy the non-padded ones the seam lines can be seen if you wear tight fitting tops. But I usually wear loose tops and nursing pads when I nurse anyway. So I kinda bypass that issue. I hv sensitive skin and don't find the bras prickly. In fact quite lasting.

My #1 is also 38weeks & I was dilated 5cm by the time I do check up with my gynae. This time round got feeling that it will be somewhere ard 38 weeks too.. Hopefully nothing earlier than that.. Prefer after mid sep. :)

I felt it at 24 wks. Actually not supposed to feel contractions so early. Stomach harden suddenly. N then very "Suan" on my back n thighs. Thank God no signs of going into labour. Gyne gave me medication to relax the muscles.

So if you feel stomach very tight ether rest and go slow.

Having said that my gyne was happy to deliver at 34wks though the closer to edd the better.

I m due 26oct.
 
EDD just give or take 1-2 weeks!! Especially if first baby very hard to tell. Subsequent baby will be faster they say? Haha. I won't know till I go into labour though

All of you packed your bags alr? I'm 28 weeks now.
 
@popie

Glad to hear that everything is fine on u. Now we are in our last semester, must get enough rest. Relax our mind & body..

Sometimes I do feel slightly tightening but not sure if that's the contraction. Will check with my gynae on next week instead. Now my routine check up is every 2 weeks..

Yes, I'm preparing in this week.. Wash all my LO new clothes. Most of the items have been kept in my cabinet just not yet pack into the bag. :)
 
My routine chk is also every 2wks from now. Got my hospital list ready so can prepare anytime. Need to wash newborn clothings real soon. These 2 days feeling 'xuan xuan' at pelvis area, don't know is it bb head down already or not. Definitely can't walk fast, feeling need to pee anytime. Got to chk with Dr. on bb position next week. But really hope bb only arrives at wk37+ when all organs are fully developed and ready..
 
@agaga don't worry!! I'm sure your baby will stay safely in your womb till 37-38 weeks. :) This time is your number #2?

I also cannot walk long distance. If not will feel a strain or tight feeling :/ this is my 2nd baby. This time much bigger than the 1st one. Lol.
 
This is my #3 , last 2 still 'maintain' till last few weeks then bloom! This time I'm very huge since wk20+! Even my neck up 1 size! Can see many line on it. Lol...haha.. see already don't know want to laugh or cry. But I know it's all worth it when we carry LO in our hands :)

Last 2, I din engage massage lady cos c-sec. But now I read after c-sec 2 weeks can. Just avoid wound. So I'm very hardworking looking for a good massage lady.
Any recommendations?
 
I'm thinking of going with Mdm Rosemawati from 9 months Javanese. You can google her company name and see her website. Affordable and hv gd reviews.

Was deciding between her and origins jamu massage. But prigins have many therapist so I won't know who's good. Haha.

Then I also want to buy a girdle for postpartum wear. Cos I think after this 2nd one, me and my hubby will stop alr. Hahaha.
 
I'm stopping at 3, no strength for educating #4 plus body very strained with pregnancy.

I'm looking for massage lady to pop by my house leh.. more convenient for me.
 
Package of 3x = $200 but exclude t.p fee & binding material. 1 session will be $80 like that. 60 mins only abit ex leh I find
 
It is 75 mins per session. I think still okay la, others more expensive leh. Haha. The binder is $20. Transport depends on your location. I stay tampines so she quote me $12. If I get the 10 days, its $77/session for me.
 
I see. Since you're getting her service. Maybe u can try out then let us know. Who knows I may need yours. If I try others, no good. We exchange info... lol
 
I'm also delivering at Mt A, EDD 29 Oct. Our #1 came early at 37 weeks - she was so kancheong to come out I had to rush to hospital from work. Hopefully this #2 will be a bit more chill and stay inside longer heheh

Massage lady - I think if you search the forums there are a few recommendations... I just took my friend's recommendation coz she is super slim after 2 kids hahah
 
Tummy hardening means contraction meh?? Frankly i didnt experience any contraction for no. 1 so duno how it is like.
but i'm definitely feeling heavier with backache & weak legs.. does massage help?
 
@leocub Massage will def help! Actually yoga also, cos it will strength your muscles and help you cope with the aches and pains. Tummy hardening is just not so good ah, but it does not mean its contracting in that sense (like giving birth contractions).
 
i'm super inflexible type..can't even touch my toes when not preggie..
Can we practice kegel now? feel my pelvis is really weak.. Else will have to go for class after birth. Can't imagine 10 years down & i need to wear diaper! lol.
 
agaga, I PMed you the contact!

I think tummy hardening is what they call Braxton Hicks contractions. They dont feel like labour contractions and they're just practice contractions. I didnt feel any BH during my first pregnancy though my gynae said I was experiencing them when she monitored me thru the CTG heh. For my labour contractions just felt like I really needed to go toilet..like every 6 mins.

leocub, YES good to practice kegels now! and all the time hehe.
