Hi :
Naughty, I have the same issues too, cramping, tums tightening, even sometimes pain. Called my midwife who said that its BHC and that can expect this to happen 5-7 times a day. As long as they are not regular and not 10-15 minutes apart, its normal. Maybe you want to ring your doc and ask? I find that rest does help, too bad no such luxury for me. Why not try to rest more and walk around lesser?
Dili, my first sign of stretch mark was hidden under my belly button, I think cos cubbie going through growth spurts. Right now its really bad and it hurts when the skin tightens. Sometimes can feel the skin stretch apart until there is a depression. I try to massage the tums with creams and oils now...itches at times too. I guess the only "consolation" is that I'm not the bikini type anyway, so shouldn't worry about such things
Zi wo an wei.

I'm on MC today, cuz was vomitting whole of yesterday. Could not keep any food down at all. Think my baby must be so hungry now. Feel so weak. Sigh...
Stretchmarks are getting worse, reddish lines. Yucks.
I saw from the Aug/Sept thread that quite many mummies gave birth abt 2-3 weeks before EDD. I wonder if ours will be so early too.

Naughty, you're the envy of us working MTBs! Wish I can stay home and An Tai!
Meixue,
I also had a few vomiting episodes since 3rd trimester started... think cos of indigestion and tried to eat too much
So the bottomline is AGAIN small freq meals.
Yes, excited also... that we're getting nearer and nearer the due date. If it's 2-3 weeks before EDD... gosh... we're really getting close!!

Just to satisfy my curiosity... a very silly question...
Because my tummy's relatively small for 7 mths... will Baby have stunted growth because of having no space to grow?!!?
I asked my mum once... "does the uterus grow to fit baby? or baby grow to fit uterus?" She lagi looked at me and said "chick first or egg first?"
Ignore me... I'm just in one of my Monday moods

Dili-Mummy, i not indigestion leh. Is once i pop something into my mouth, i will vomit it out. Even a few mouthfuls of porridge. So i've not eaten for one whole day. boo hoo. =( Maybe it's my body's way of making me slow down my immense weight gain? haha.
Since there's a possibility of delivering 2-3 weeks before EDD, than from 37 weeks onwards, I'll probably be so anxious, everytime checking for show, waterbag burst or contractions. haha.

Yvonne,
I wonder if pregnancy made me more stupid to ask that kind of qn!?! haha...
Found this website that quite aptly explains what stretchmarks are
http://www.pregnancy-info.net/stretchmarks.html
Apparently, there's nothing we can do to prevent it except to prevent rapid/sudden weight gain... Doctors mostly don't believe creams and oils help.
Salt: Yes it's true that salt (the Sodium inside) retains water and prevents water from draining. It's not just salt... it's also MSG.
Those with fluid retention... DRINK MORE WATER!
Meixue,
Oh I didn't know your vomitting is not to overeating (mine's definitely due to gluttony!!) The doctor may have some anti-nausea meds for you? although I still think it's best to avoid meds... take them as a last resort I guess.
I had a colleague who had severe vomitting towards the end of pregnancy... and she was admitted into hospital and put on a drip to prevent dehydration... cos dehydration bring on contractions.

Hi ladies,
ya, naughty, how come u know u gotta to induce?? U choose the date to deliver ur bb???
Meixue, my gynae told me usually we will deliver 10-12 days before EDD. Very common, cos i asked around too. Most ladies will deliver around 37-38 weeks. From my circle of friends, only 1 carry her bb till 40 weeks.
Mine will confirm early too. Cos it's twins mah. I expect it to be around 1st or 2nd week of Nov.
Yvonne, my friend's stretchmarks looked like kanna 'cane' . Not those red veins i think.
To those delivering in TMC, i went to the hospital tour, saw the birthing room. Is the birthing room same as delivery ward???
Ladies, Time to pack our bags liao, i think?

Which 'EDD' is the most accurate ah? The one based on LMP or the one measured using ultrasound of baby's parts?
Venus, how're you? Think we should be gaining weight leh.. take care.
My stretchmarks are red veins, very ugly. getting redder and more.
Yvonne, my vomitting was very bad during first trimester. Last night i went to hopsital and the doctor gave me a jab to stop the vomitting. now better already. Hope you don't kenna!

Venus,
We should be gaining weight steadily by now. But, because of the ordeal you went through over the past few years... it must have affected your appetite... it's quite normal to lose weight then. When are you seeing doctor again? Maybe can get doctor to extend your MC?? keke...
Meixue,
I think we should take the EDD from the ultrasound (if it's on before Wk 12 scan) thereafter it's not accurate.

I think Aprilpinky went for TMC class and told us not to rub our tummy in circular motion... as it will cause uterine contractions. (Sayang sayang should be ok lah, just don't rub rub rub)

Hello ladies,
Busy day for me. Now raining heavily at my place. Could even smell the "soil" smell. How I wish dont need to work tomorrow then can sleep til late morning! hahaha
I was perspiring like mad last nite and had to switch on aircon in the middle of the nite. Hubby auto pull the blanket over his body. hahahahaa...
Nik, I dont know the diff betw birthing room and delivery suite but the one with 3 or 4 beds one is to let mtb monitor the contractions in the initial stage. Then confirm into action liao they wld bring us to the delivery suite (individual room) for labour. All classes of wards would have the same delivery suite. I would pack my bag 4 weeks prior to EDD.
Ya, please dont apply stretch mark cream in circular motion.
Haha..hubby told me he touched my tummy while I was sleeping last nite and our boy moved in response. He was delighted. V active bb
Venus, take care. I think with more rest ur appetite would be back in no time.
Dili, I think tummy big or small is ok one. As long as gynae said bb right size good liao.

Aprilpinky - Azemia is a kind of skin sensitivity which results in rashes / itches. Very common among preggies. A lot of my friends had it too. I am having it behind the back of my neck and seems to be quite back as it's like not improving since pregnancy. Thanks, will be keeping a lookout for the sales season.
BTW, all of you bought the baby necessities already? I am now waiting for the time to come... and then grab.. anyone knows any sale coming?

Ah fat,
if u r really the one I saw in black dress that day, ur tummy sure looks compact. But then can c that u r quite slim type so maybe ur tummy is just v compact. Huge tummies may only have water inside. Not necessarily a bigger bb than urs. Urs may know how to curl better than the rest. hehe.
Wendy, I saw fr another thread JL just had 15%+5% last wkend! oh no! Guess they didnt advertise.

but am secretly hoping that my mother/hubby's granny will leave me alone during confinement period.. dun come to the house and start nagging.. coz i have got three dogs at home.. etc etc.. as for food.. am thinking of asking hubby to do the marketing.. and the maid to cook..
what do u all think?

Hmmm naughty, just get ur mum to help lah. Dont think ur hubby can do much and the maid to cook confinement food!? Some CL cant even do it properly. I heard of cases whereby CL claimed that can cook this and that then later on cannot cook and got to learn from the new mum's mum..
Naughty, i also hope tat my bbs at ren till 37 weeks. Now, i little can't bear to get them out. Hahahaha...
Ah Fat, my gynae also commented my tummy is a little small for 2 bbs, but after he took all the measurement, bbs growing fine, he also keep quiet liao. Though i dun feel my tummy is small, but alot of ppl keeps commenting it's small for 7 month, i juz shrug them off loh.
Aprilpinky, the guide who brought us around the hospital said tat some ladies stay in the birthing room as long as 15 hrs!!! So, i tot it might be the delivery ward, juz tat TMC called it the birthing room. Tat room looked very comfy lei. But too bad, i think i won't have the chance to use.
I will pack my bag by end of tis month. Cos my gynae said twin delivery date is usually 30 days before EDD. Must KS abit.

Nik,
I think the Birthing Room you said is for early labour. SGH has a smiliar room (single bed) that they call "Early Labour Room". That's where they check for the dilations and contrations. Once you're almost 10cm, they'll push you to the delivery suite.
Yah lor, my gynae keeps assuring my tummy is of good size. He said I have good abs muscles, that's why can hold the uterus well. I've learnt to ignore those people who said my tummy's small for 7mths!
Naughty,
I've booked CL already. I don't know if I'll be grouchy or pleasant! so safer to have non-relative to take care of me! heehee...
Also I feel quite bad to let hubby, parents and parents-in-law to take care of me... they should be enjoying the baby during that time. Don't want them to worry about me not eating properly, or washing the laundry for me.

Wendy,
I think your skin problem is called Eczema. I used to have that too, but it hasn't come back for years. My advice is to leave it alone... cos most of the creams available (those that are effective) contain steroids. And during preg and lactation, we should avoid any steroidal stuff.
I guess just keep it well-moisturised...

yes, the typhoon hit us here pretty hard but it seems pretty much over already.
Thanks for asking.
I think the unique thing about the hospital we are delievering at is that we are able to stay in the same room for labor and delivery as well as recovery etc. So one room everything all in

Morraine,
Yah lor, I agree. GPs are very cautious (someitmes overly cautious) when it comes to preggies. It's better to consult our gynaes, no matter how small you think the problem might be.
Furry,
Wah, all-in-one? that's pretty cool... you're delivering in SH?
