Hi all,
Have been long time didn't post any msgs here...
Just went for my check up just now. Doctor told me my bb head is about 9.1cm...a bit too big.. anyone have any idea about this? A bit worried. Bb estimated weight now is 2.5kg. Compared from 2 weeks ago bb increased about 300gms.
FYI,I went to visit my GP last week, my GP asked me to stop Neurogain (Fish oil capsule) intake. He said pregnant mum shouldn't take this medicine at last stage. As it is high in EPA, it will cause increased blood loss at the time of delivery.

hi cmy, did u ask your gynae abt neurogain then? i'm also planning to stop, but it's more bcos i think bb brain development is already more or less completed, so no need to take it anymore... will check with gynae during my checkup this week... can't remember when's ur EDD?
usually gynaes will instruct mothers to push when dilation hits 7cm... maybe if head too big got to wait till further dilation... how many weeks are you now?
hehe ixwong... that's v expensive agar agar... if ur MIL prepared it she'll be v heartbroken to hear that u compared bird's nest with agar agar..

Hi cmy, my gynae says to continue with Neurogain even after I deliver, during bfg to take too.. he says it's good for boosting supply of breast milk.
hi cmy, i tink yr EDD is the same as mine - 1/8/05. my gynae mentioned to con't with neurogain. my bb wt measured last sat was 2.3kg. as for head measurement, she says it'll still change, so she'll tell me later. since she dun wan tell me, then i asked her if any problems with natural delivery (hee..anxious to know), she said dun see any problem at tis point.. dun worry too much abt bb's head, sometimes measurements mebe estimates only..
Morning ladies....
i am down with slight running nose again. last night got up to pee at about 4am, and accidentally hit the bed kerb and tripped. luckily hubby woke up in time to catch hold of me and my hands landed on the bed. aiyoh, so clumsy, or i think iwas abit drowsy after taking the tab.
so many postings the last few days....
wow..libs, you very chio leh...just like Angel.
I dreamt last night that i was holding bb in my arms and trying to breastfeed him for the first time......the feeling was so real, so wonderful!!!! While bb was suckling on one breast, the other was leaking...hahaha...
Of late, he has been kicking more n more vigourously......it's becoming more real that we are having a bb!!!!! hahaha, dun laugh at us, cos hubby n i still cannot get over the idea that we are expecting a bb in 2.5mths' time.
btw, i bought the drapolene nappy cream at S$3.40 and further 20% discount...so S$2.70 per tube from Watson's.

Hi Lib, maybe u can try to just use the web based messenger for both ym and msn instead?
hello ladies
I am looking for car seats. Any recommendations?
I am looking at Britax First Class SI from Mothercare which cost $420 before 10% discount for certain credit cards OR the Chicco Vector which cost $279 from Robinsons.
Both are convertible car seats and can seat from newborn to 18kg (abt 4 years old).
Singapore doesn't carry Britax Roundabout or Marathon which have the best non-crash ratings from US Consumer guide

Btw.. some of the interesting facts which i found in babycenter to ease our mind.
Question: I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'm beginning to feel my breasts getting ready for breastfeeding. Is it normal for them to leak a bit after I get out of the shower?
Answer: Many mothers begin to leak colostrum (sometimes called premilk) while they're pregnant, typically sometime in the third trimester. Other expectant moms don't. Either way, it's normal. You might want to wear nursing pads in your bra to protect your clothes if you're leaking. You can buy these at most drugstores.
Colostrum is a thick, yellowish fluid that contains antibodies that help protect new babies from infections. If you choose to breastfeed, this precious liquid will nourish your baby until your milk comes in. Colostrum has more protein, but less carbohydrate and fat than mature breast milk. It's easy to digest and has just the right amount of nutrients a baby needs in the first few days after birth.
Question: How much milk does a baby need in the first few days?
Answer: A breastfed baby takes small but increasing amounts of milk over the first few days. Studies of large numbers of breastfed babies suggest that on average they consume about 1/2 ounce of colostrum per feeding in the first 24 hours, 2/3 ounce per feeding by 48 hours, and one ounce per feeding by 72 hours, when mature milk production begins. At four days of age, most breastfed babies are taking about an ounce and a half at each feeding, and by five days two and a half ounces or more.
Of course, when you're nursing, it's impossible to know the precise amount of milk that your baby gets at each feeding. The most reassuring signs of adequate intake in the early days include the passing of meconium and transitional stools. Babies urinate very little in the first few days. Your milk production should begin by 72 hours postpartum starting with a noticeable change in your breast fullness.
Hearing your baby swallow and feeling your breasts soften during feedings are reassuring signs. By his fifth day of life, your baby should be having yellow or mustard-colored stools and wet diapers every few hours. Babies normally shed ounces in the first few days of life, but weight loss should be no more than 10 percent of the baby's birth weight. By five days of age, a baby begins gaining weight, at least an ounce a day. By 10 to 14 days of age, most babies have regained their birth weight.
Question: Should I give my newborn water or sugar water?
Answer: It isn't necessary to give your newborn water. Most babies get enough fluids from breast milk or infant formula. Even when a mother's milk supply is just coming in during the first few days after delivery, the baby is getting colostrum,which is enough to keep the baby well hydrated. Because a newborn's kidneys are immature, she has a difficult time concentrating her urine, and if given too much plain water, may have trouble excreting it. This could lead to dangerous changes in the concentrations of sodium and potassium in her bloodstream. For these reasons, infants should not be given extra fluids unless their pediatrician recommends it.

Hi ladies, what u all had for lunch?
I had Zhu Zha Tang + rice and Black Sesame with 2 riceballs. hehe..
I think most of us are in the 3rd trimester.. a gentle reminder, pls do drink lotsa water! Amongst the other good things, it is especially important in the third trimester to drink more more water when dehydration can actually cause contractions that can trigger preterm labor.
