Celtricia, i'm going to take my ML 1 week prior to due date la not NOW! Just plan and inform my boss earlier so he is aware of it... =P

Heard 3D / 4D scan is much much better than our normal 2D scan leh

Yvonne, i tot u gg to take it in like early Nov mah.. kekeke..
My 12 weeks incld PH, but coz if i take all 12 weeks, i will lugi lots of PH, so i took only 8 weeks so dat i can enjoy 4 weeks more of leave to b spread out in 6mths n at the same time enjoy the PHs.. kekeke..

<font color="ff0000">Susan</font>
7-11?? well that's when my gal is due..but I think having my gal on 7-11 is not a good idea... LOL.. Boys ok.. BUT GIRLS?? 24hrs store and more?? not good implications la...
<font color="0000ff">celtrica</font>
yah hubby is very "well trained" now he'a like my warrant officer.. spot check to see if I'm home and not galavanting!!
I find waiting is so "ma fan". My first boy who was induced.. is like we could go to the hospital at appointed time..and check in like hotel...
NOW!!?? waiting very agonising..plus this pelvic pain becoming worse..This morning can't even get up!! Like I went to ride horse for whole night like that!! Anyone with that feeling?

Furry, i'll be staying put @ my parents' pl till after my confinement cos just in case my own place still got some chicken pox virus lurking around- gynae says bb cannot get chicken pox in his 1st week- will be dangerous for him.
Nik, if u've had chicken pox before, most likely u wd have e immunity. At first I was a also little worried that i dun hv the immunity cos my mum said the chicken pox i had last time was very little too and it's the 'false' kind. Btw, i oso have the urge to urine sometimes when my bb moves, haha....i tink cos he may be pressing on the bladder =P
April, then u must take extra care to stay clear from anyone who's suspected of having or having chicken pox, esp. during this time.
Susan, yah my hubby is recovering oredi. Except for the scary spots on his face, he's feeling much better now
.
*sigh* i also haven't handover my work yet. How I wish I can start resting at home now.... One new staff only starting wk tomorrow, i've got max. of 2 weeks to train and orientate her. Most likely, I've gotta start coming back after my 1st mth

Hi ladies..
My baby has moved down..but still not totally engaged, ..so it looks like baby is still rather comfortable inside.
doc does not think there will be any action until next week or later...phew..hubby will be in time.
Estimated weight is now 3.4kg..no weight gain for me from last week.
Waiting is agonising indeed.
Natalie - I am getting the pelvic pains already..guess cos baby is now moving down..very uncomfortable.

Congrats ChinLee. They said if not total engaged can suck out using vacuum?! But one of my friend's case is that she went for emergency c-section. Not sure whether hers is a case of v high up or gynae not experienced in using vacuum.
Pelvic pains..yes...spreading to my thigh areas every nite! Sometimes hands also painful!? I have been applying counterpain..hiaks hiaks..doing the gym ball exercise (bum rotation) helps as well
hey 7-11 good wat. Always there for the parents
Take care jeddie..

I think induce shd be the last resort when bb is overdue usually..it's better to let bb to naturally come out..my personal view.

I heard induce can be very painful leh... =S
Natalie, never tot so deeply about girl borned on 7-11 leh, he he he, anyhow .. still thinking it's a good time to go for labor on Monday. Also, with Deepavali & Hari Raya around, eem, didn't want to lose out these 2 PH.
Cel, 2D is our normal ultrascan .. of course 3D/4D can see better lah, but it's OK .. rather see BB in real. Our employee handbook is written by company loh.
Yvonne, my working place is ulu but still accessible by SBS buses.
Amber, good to hear that your hubby is recovering .. can stay with you when the emergency comes.
Oh, the spreading numbness/pain thru the legs is called pelvis pain ah .. I'm having them leh, at night .. really bei-song.

Afternoon ladies
just to add my 2 cents worth on the ML entitlement
EA states ML = 12 weeks
1 week = 7 days
12 weeks = 12 x 7 = 84 days (no difference as ML days)
As the ML was revised last yr, yr existing CA's ML clause may cease, overwritten by EA due to change
If u r taking 8 wks then the rest on ad-hoc, e.g. working 5 days wk, then u r entitled to 20 working days (Mon - Fri exclude PH & Weekend)

BTW, i forgot to add tat if ML count by months, sure lugi one cos some months are shorter than others so use weeks the fairest

I chose MAH previously cos of gd feedback abt nurses (patient and etc) and i was not comfortable with the environment when i attended the hosp visit
actually not all MOM rules overwrite co. rules, the impt thing iz tat co. cannot give any benefits less favorable than MOM rules (esp for rank&file staff)

Just got back! Again..left the cleaning lady to clean my house. Think she is doing a decent job..
Celtricia..yes, very happy..cos hubby will be back this Sat..and (touch wood), baby will wait.
Furry - yeah.. I thk no weight gain for the past week is cos I have been having nausea the past week..so not much appetite. Not a pleasant feeling though..
Wondering if it is a good idea to do some pelvic rotation exercise for the pelvic pain..? What do u all think? I am worried that it may cause premature labour....

Aprilpinky.. if baby is not totally engaged..but gets engaged later..it is ok. But of cos, there is always a risk that the baby's head is too big for our pelvic bone, hence the need for C-section. Happened to a friend of mine 2 months ago..so, I am also concerned abt the size of baby's head! *keeping fingers crossed*
ps. I have big hips though..haha..hope that means my pelvic bones are wide.

Hello...
ChinLee, I dont think pelvic exercise will cause premature labor. Nothing to do with exercise i think or else kegel wld be dangerous also..hehe.
Yah, MAH is a bit old. It's also cuz I'm not a christian or catholic and hence wont find it comfortable to stay there..went to visit boss's child there before ..not v comfortable w the envt. (personal view)

I dont think it's dangerous lah..I never read / hear abt it anywhere. It's v beneficial i think. Not sure abt hula hoop (can be strenuous) but bum rotation is v mild and we did that during our antenatal classes wat..

err..just msged Naughty..she said she's ok and morraine is still growing mushrooms at home..
Maybe miscommunication y'day

Hello...
Morraine is home? Opps...we've got the wrong news then
Chin, good to be able to find someone trustworthy and who does a good job. Not easy as well. Did your gynae feel your pelvis internally? The midwife did and told me plenty of space still. I've got child bearing big bums
I had 3 pieces of pancakes for dinner - made from Betty Crocker pre-mix as I was too lazy to mix it myself. Nice leh! But thinking that's not a lot of food for dinner. My DH sure scold when he comes home later.
Susan, trying to walk more ma, since everyone seems to be advocating that. Its an expensive way to excercise though, since I tend to buy stuff when I go out. LOL.
Cel, as my gynae puts it, if you THINK u are in labor, chances are its very early in labor but if you KNOW you are in labor, chances are you ARE! Was told to go to the hospital when contractions are below 5 mins apart. Maybe you can ask your gynae for a guideline?

Morraine still at home?!
Furry - well, my gynae did an internal check today..she did not say anything abt the pelvis being too narrow..she just said that the baby has moved down, but not engaged. In fact, I can feel that he has moved down, too.
I like the way your gynae put it..if you think and if you know...bit. How true. But I have also heard that for some, labour is really fast..so between thinking and knowing may be a rather short time.

Celtricia.. I am feeling quite good today!Kinda gotten used to the little aches / pain here and there...be careful when you are crossing the road. Sometimes, the drivers are not very nice. Ya lor..always got that pressure / pain in the pelvic area.
TGIF! Looking fwd to the weekend...

chin: gd for u! tis days i tink weather too gd, therefore dun feel like waking up, though the little aches n pain is there.. kekeke..
ya.. i'll b xtra careful when i cross the road tis days.. hee.. but today's pain at the pelvic area seems different frm wat i've normally gotten.. tink tml when i go for my weekly checkup will haf to check wif my gynae if my bb's head has engage or not.. coz when i told my hb abt the pain, he was kind of anxious n called me straight after his training to ask if there r any other symptoms of labour.. heh..
he really wans bb to come out soon.. hahaha..
today lunch not decided yet.. but most likely is chinese food, unless its not appetising enuff for me.. hw bout u?

Tell your hubby that it is best for baby to come out after 38 weeks. Full term better..easier to care for the baby. Haha..normal, most men are kancheong to be daddies..we all also very kan cheong.
Dun worry.. I am sure u will be fine. U will know when it is time to go to the hospital.. is your hubby's work place very far?
