ixwong, i think she meant that she'll consider it after 37 weeks. She feels that if bb is already of healthy weight n ready to leave the womb, staying longer will leave more chance to the potential complications. Although average bb weighs bet 2.5 - 3.5kg, if u are small size or thin, a bb beyond 3kg may be difficult for you, n c-section may be required. So if bb is already healthy at say 2.8kg, it may be better to induce and deliver by natural birth.

Good morning MTBs,
Hmm.. The clothes from the website in funkymoms do look a little weird. Hehehe...
I asked my colleagues when I went back to work for the past few days. Quite a few of them told me that they insisted on not using any anaethetics. Wow!!! Really admire their courage man. Don't think I will be able to tolerate the pain. Hahaha...
tingting,
I see. Sounds logical as well. I have heard some giving birth to big bbs and it was really difficult. Ever wonder how the gynaes were able to know the weight of the bb?? Will the scan machine be able to tell the weight? Amazing right?

eileenp, my gynae will monitor the bb's weight when she scans during my monthly visits... dunno how she measures... but pei fu the machines... maybe they measure the surface area n thickness of the bb n do an estimate?
I'm also hoping not to use epidural... maybe will use the gas though.. may be better if we dun go to hospital too early? walking ard at home may make us more relaxed n dilate better, so that by the time we go to hospital it's almost time for delivery. think i saw from another thread tht a mummy even went for breakfast before going to hospital..
hi mummytobe, an uplighter is usually a standing lamp that faces the ceiling, so that light is projected upwards instead. they are usually able to provide sufficient lighting without being glaring. I know the type of night lights u are referring to... unfortunately it won't be v useful to me cos my sockets are all near the floor, so won't be able to see clearly if need to diaper change or check on bb....

Hi seabreeze, the idea of taking chic essence with hard boiled eggs.. is to give u the energy during labour. But I heard of an old wife's tale which says it will help in faster and smoother delivery.
Stock up on chic essence and DOM cos u will need these 2 a lot during confinement. I had chic essence and 2 soft boiled eggs every morning during confinement.

triniti,
I have not done post-natal before. There is a wrap but not sure if it's come with herb. As for benefits of massage, you may want to check out http://www.eastshore.com.sg/postnatal_massage_info.jsp
Seem like induction nowadays is getting quite acceptable. Anyone know if the pain level from natural or induction is the same?? Actually hoping for my bb to come earlier at wk 38/39, better still National Day!

SeaBreeze - thanks. OMG! Blood test again? i afraid of pain. If i not mistaken NT test is something like measuring the bb neck n spinal cord. Wonder how they measure?
hi confused,
congrats n hope all is well. are you with Dr chew? basically NT scan is like the normal scan, just that he will focus on the neck,cord etc. at the end of it, he will give you a report of the probability of Down's and other abnormality based on your age....no worries....
Triple test- they will draw out 3 tubes and maybe dr chew will also order a urine test at the same time.
when are you due?

hi gals,
need to ask a dumb question... have u ever heard sounds coming from ur tummy when baby kicks?
i've heard some 'tiak' sounds from time to time coming from my tummy these last couple of days when baby kicked... y'know the bubble wrap we get when we buy fragile items? the sound sounds like what we hear when we burst 1 bubble on the bubble wrap! so scary that it's coming from my tummy!

Samantha - thanks. btw, wat do u mean i can aim for CNY baby? i dont understand leh. oso can i ask whether all pregnant woman carry the bb till full term (45 weeks)? i'm so worried now cos my brother getting married in mid Dec n gynae told me my EDD is on 17 jan 06. Will it be earlier?
hi confused, yah, full term is 40 weeks. usually bbs may arrive anytime between 36 to 42 weeks...anytime before 36 weeks is considered premature. Have heard equal stories of 1st time mothers delivery early or late, so think it's still quite random, depending on whether ur bb wants to come to the world earlier! Bcos next year CNY is around end jan mah, so u may give birth to a CNY bb?
went for my gynae check yest .... baby is now 1.1kg @ 28+ week ....
dr managed to capture a shot of his face yest ... still cant make out who he resemble more ...
anyway dr was telling me that the position of my baby is not correct i.e. head is up on top ... but still got lots of time ... so hopefully he will u-turn nearer the date of delivery ....
going to JB now with my hubby to attend a wedding ...
see ya tom =)
