Me also at home now.
at least u got 3 dogs for company. I'm alone at home. Just finished cooking lunch. Sewing pillowcase for the beansprout pillow I bought for my boy.
I also had the pain at ribcage but baby hasnt turn. I also tot got turn that time but hasnt lor. Now i bo-chap liao. Am mentally prepared for c section.
Kuririn
My boy will do the wave exercise when i'm sitting down. When i'm sleeping, he will move about and do his stretching. Thats why sometimes cant sleep well.

jenifur: newborn & S-sized Mamypoko diapers are different cos the newborn ones have a cut that avoids the umblical cord while the S-sized ones are up to waist level (front portion). it's ok to buy more than less mah..i think you shd get 1 or more packs of NB diapers...i have gotten 2 packs already...babies use diapers very fast one...i intend to buy drypers when baby gets older...
sneaky: i beg to differ. i think juz buy one pack of diapers for nb will do.. coz if u get discharge from hospital, u will bring the remainings back.. plus the one pack that we bought in hand.. by the time u finish using those, ur baby should grow in size le.. so upgrade to size s.. if not newborn diapers will be too tight le.
clarisse,
nvrmind I just wait till 37 weeks to see what my gynae recommend...now think about it also no use. But I hope my delivery will be "natural" when bb ready to come out then come out dun force him.
my gf bb is estimate 3.4kg when ard 37weeks so gynae told her must induce coz scare her pelvic not big enuf to deliver bb vaginaly. But in the end also not vaginaly must go for emergency c-section.

Think me the KS one.. I bought a pack of MamyPoko NewBorn and a pack of Pampers Premium NewBorn.. hehe.. I will be using diapers first maybe for a week b4 switching to nappy.. thats what my colleague advise me lor.. hopefully can finish the NewBorn ones before she outgrow..

Adel: you mean babies grow so fast ah? i think the 2 pkts that i have can only last me a week if i use it only at night. furthermore, i'll be bringing a pkt of diapers to the hospital cos my colleague told me hospital provides only the smallest quantity (only 12 pcs), which cannot even last you throughout 2 days of stay...therefore, he adviced me to bring 1 pkt of my own to avoid being charged by the hospital if you use theirs (quite ex one)...
sneaky: i got this info from my cousin who just gave birth.. her baby was 3.14kg i think.. then before she can start on her third pack... its bery tight le.. (tat will cause nappy rash) if u use size s after one week or so.. it will be a bit loose.. but u come to think of it.. its better to be a bit loose than tight.. like u wear.. ur undies(sorry gotta describe this)at least no rash. tats juz my opinion.. dun want u all to spend so much money on diapers.. its so ex! worse if u can't use all of them.
clarissemummy: me too.. doing house work and stuffs.. and tried to nap.. but can't as my house here.. undergoing upgrading.. all the drillings and stuffs are driving me nuts man.. grgrgr..
but at least they do now than later.. hopefully they will complete all drillings by end of this month... if not.. i got to think of a new place for my son to move into when he comes out.

Kris: Must we apply nappy cream for bb even they do not have any nappy rash as a prevention? Or usually wait for nappy rash to appear then apply? Understand that you are using 2 type of nappy cream - one for normal use and one for serious nappy rash ...

Kuririn, you mean plain crackers are better than digestives? Thought digestives are good cos high in fiber..
Fiona: No leh.. you can't kow when and how much you've dilated one. Simply no feeling whatsoever.
SSL: I feel nig movements are normal, esp if you've got lots of amniotic fluid in your womb.
My bb's movements are also v big. Some movements can rock my entire body one!
As for post-natal massage for those who went thru c-section, I believe the massage lady will avoid the area and will actually only start here session with you a few weeks after delivery. All of us are different so it's really hard to say whose tummy will go back to shape and whose wouldn't... There are always some overweight mommies with flat tummies and skinny ones with buldging tummies... such is the pain of childbirth..
Still, I do believe we dun nec. have to engage a massage lady. These alternative treatments dun always work with everyone mah.

puea, mrs Tan, SSL: No no no, pls dun think that real contractions are those that come v sharply then go away! The way to know if it's REAL contractions is by TIMING. They should be regular in the sense that they come at every 15min or however many mins interval, and the interval becomes shorter as time passes and the pain itself could also stretch a longer time as contraction progresses. This pain should not go away or lessen in anyway however you may change your position, whether you are walking, standing, sitting or lying down.
Mayday: yup, MUST use nappy cream at EVERY diaper change whether or not bb has nappy rash. Just one dirty nappy without the barrier cream can give bb a nasty rash.

<font face="Calisto mt"> Morning Ladies. So
, morning weather so shiok, wish I can stayed in bed.
My boss's wife jus gave birth to a baby girl via C-Section on Sun. She had bleeding on Sat morning, went to see gynae & was scheduled for C-Section e next morning. Nobody think much of it thinking it was e first Sign & there wasn't any contraction pain. They only realised after e C-Section tt e naughty girl in e womb had damaged e umblical cord while tossing & turning. It wld hv been dangerous if they had delayed any further. Guess we mus really b very careful & not leave out any signs or take anything for granted ya.</font>

kuririn: hehe.. maybe the dietician i went to.. not so good.. so.. i couldn't be bothered to go back to her. somemore first time.. she was telling me things of which i have already know.. made me waste money. i tend to read up a lot coz.. i need to get myself prepared for the pregnancy plus baby.

wah, u throw all into washing machine ah.... I hand wash all of them. thats why have to split into different days cos to allow different batches to dry. Washing my 3rd load today
kuririn
Ya, i also tot digestive biscuits are ok. Maybe different types of digestive biscuits got different nutrient value. I only buy those with lowest sugar and carbo content. For biscuits, better to avoid those with cream inbetween two biscuits.
kris
I guess the only reason that i want to engage a massage lady is that i heard their massage helps to contract the uterus, which is good for speedier recovery. But i think i rather save the money if i am going for elective c section (which the cost is higher than normal delivery)
Fiona
U can get them from Unity Pharmacy or hospital pharmacy. I saw it at KKH pharmacy
Adel
Maybe u can confirm the readings u have done with the dietrician? My gynae didnt refer me to any dietrician. She told me to control my own diet. I guess she wants to save money for me and to see if i can manage myself. If really cant, then refer me to one.
so far so good
