Ya lor, I also never heard of that. None of my sis or cousins did that. Don't care lah.. she also can't remember what I wear.
Jan,
You can also check out Toyogo warehouse at Toa payoh Lor 8 industrial park, Blk 11.
I'm going for my check up tomorrow. Not so hopeful that bb has turned head down, cos I can still feel her kicking my bladder.

Liewlian soh,
THANK YOU! looks like this weekend, i have alot of places to go. hope not too tiring. Will be going to Toa Payoh to look at the daniel cot then also to Giant to buy the cabinet. i know... trying not to stress out but everytime i think of labour, i scared scared. i very timid one. cut here cut there still have to push still have to endure pain, i worry. don't know whether shd take epi. so until now whenever i think will be scared lor. hope you all have smooth delivery than i will be encouraged!
Berlin,
Thank you. Will let my hubby know about warehouse. but without car, maybe easier for us to go Giant. don't worry about bb. some take longer to get engaged. Plus my gynae did mentioned before, our EDD are just an estimation. So sometimes, maybe not engaged before our estimation is a little out since its based on the traditional method of counting based on our period so.... anyway, as long as baby is healthy and growing well its ok right.
meixue,
engaged already? then u should be ready. my friend's baby after confirm engaged came out within 2 days! congrats!

hello gals
I buy my cabinet in Hecom (white Colour) with 2 Large drawer and 4 small drawer so total 4-tier and cost $109.50 but thk out of stock for white but they do have another colour more greyish type. Thk there is delivery charge if you want them to delivery. But my hubby carried and assembly himself.
2005
My gynae say walking is for the baby to engage faster and to build up stamina for delivery.

I think in my previous mail abt selling the massage cream is not clear. what i mean is that the reason for selling is cos I am using another brand that I find it more effective so selling off the balance of one brand new mothercare massage cream.
DS,
think chilled one is ok cos my friend drank that. anyway when u go and buy from the fruit stalls, they also put ice to chill it since they already peel off the husk?
2005,
will go ntuc to look but got wheels? i need one with wheels cos no space in room, have to wheel her and there.
sunnyling,
15 to 30min like more possible hor instead of the 45min. maybe we can try to 15min. hahaha.

Gynae did a cervix check for you? Didn't know that bb will still put on so much weight from 36-40 weeks. Thot growth will slow down. Your placenta must be still healthy for bb to grow at such a good pace. 3.5kg at birth should be ave right? Sounds like a good weight. Think big bbs are abt 4kg and above. Remembered that my 2nd niece was born in the 41st week and she was 4.2kg... quite huge but super steady and not like the usual flimsy bbs.

absolut,
Yes, gynae did a swap test & cervix check today. At first gynae was somewhat concerned knowing that I lose a little weight, but the scan shows bb put on weight instead (0.3kg within 2 wks), so everything's alright
So 3.5kg at birth is not considered big? phew.
Ya, agree that bigger size babies are not so filmsy. I touched the arms & legs of my nephew on his 2nd day & is solid, 'bak bak' type. He's 3.7kg at birth.

worried that its the cream that is irritating u. depends. sometimes too dry ie no cream wil be itchy. some people too much cream also itchy. if really cannot tahan, i suggest go see gynae. skin specialist at this stage cannot help much.

krissie,
When gynae does cervix check, she inserted her finger down there. I could also feel the tightness & some degree of discomfort. Think my pain threshold is not that high. The discomfort is like making love again after a long long time, maybe bcos down there didn't 'exercise' for several months & becomes tight already. kekeke.

Joyful, i'm 37 weeks already and gynae hasnt done any swab or cervix check for me. Think he's very bochap. =(
I also hope that my baby will be of a reasonable weight like 3.2kg at birth so that I won't have to go for c-section. But she's now 3kg at 37 weeks, dunno if will become too big or not.

Hi all
My baby is engaged already
But my gynae didn't tell me my baby's new weight. He said my baby's size is ok and told me not to worry too much about it.
As for the dull red patch on the back of my thighs, he said it's pigmentation, and should go away after give birth.

Jan,
ya, chubby bbs are much cuter
meixue,
Maybe your gynae thinks GBS (Group B streptococcus) is quite rare & affects only a minority of preggies, that's why he didn't do it for you? I guess if you're interested, you can still ask for it.
IF,
Have faith that your bb will be healthy after all that you're going thru' now. At 38wks, bb is considered mature already, so less worries even if delivered then. Believe you & your bb can make it, ok?
moonbell,
congrats... does it feel heavy at the groin area now that bb has engaged?

Hello Everyone,
I've been following this tread for some time. Mind if I join in your little discussion?
I'm also a Dec mum-to-be. My EDD is 4th Dec. Will be delivering at KKH and is expecting a baby boy. Baby weighs 2.8kg at week 36.
Was hoping can deliver this month. Getting very anxious with all the waiting and anticipation.

OIC. Didn't know that SBCC is at TMC also, thought it's at another place. Do you know how many PDs are there ??
Sandy,
My colleague also told me to bring a towel to work everyday when near the EDD, just in case. But then I thought to myself, if water bag really bursts, how to wrap ourselves with the towel ???
Re : walking
Wonder if we can still walk for so long if we experience tightening of our tummy ?? Nowadays, my hubby don't let me walk for too long cos he sooooo scared of me tightening....
Joyful,
Envy you leh... Your gal is so big, hope my boy will be like your gal... hee... But I also scared cannot deliver ah....
IF,
Don't worry too much. We pray for you okie...
BTW, what's CTG monitoring with liquor assessment ??
Actually hor, recently I also do get very upset over minor minor things. Don't know izzit becos of hormone change ??? Hopefully, my bb will not be a hum bao when he comes out.
BTW, my gynae didn't ask me to go for a growth scan leh ??? Wonder why....

Hi Violetgem
Thanks. I think liquor assessment is to make sure there is sufficient fluid inside the womb...
need to chk with my gynae on my next chk-up.
Growth Scan
My gynae refer me to Prof Ananda for growth scan cos he found my bb smaller than average weight.....Your bb weight is o.k so not necessery for tis type of extra scan.

Hi all,
Went for my check up today. BB still in breech position. Gynae says bb wants stay comfortably in that position so I had to schedule for C-section. Tentatively gynae gave me a date on 5th Dec. Ask me to confirm next week after I check my dates. BB head circumference is 93cm, gynae say quite big. He just estimate weight almost 3kg at 35+weeks. Brrr...
seems that bb don't want to listen to mummy..
Liewlian,
I got my vouchers and bought the nursing bras from 9mois liao. SA says buy 3 pcs at $39each instead of $45.
Cheer_ful Mum,
Can you check if your friend wants to sell only the white canvas cover? I have the same wire basket (4 tier with wheels).

Hi Violetgem,
I'm very slow in following and sometimes, the post move too fast until I lost track liao.
Thus did not join in earlier. Will check the posting more often.
Just to check, any working mums plan to take early maternity leave or you will be working till the day you popped? I was thinking whether to take leave from week 38 coz very worried if water bag burst in office as mine office is a male environment. It would be very embarrasing. But on the other hand, worried that if I take too early, will be growing mushrooms at home as I dun feel any sigh of labour yet...

I was thinking whether to take leave from week 38 coz very worried if water bag burst in office as mine office is a male environment. It would be very embarrasing. But on the other hand, worried that if I take too early, will be growing mushrooms at home as I dun feel any sigh of labour yet...
Welcome, budget_mum!!
I am also thinking of the same question too, why dun ya ask yr gynae and ask for his opinion?
I also wanted to work till the DAY is here, cos I can spend more time to take care of bb. In fact, I may wanna extend a bit longer as I want to breastfeed my bb for a longer time~~ at least 6 months!

Hi LiewLian Soh,
As a Budget Mum, I'm a subsidised patient at KKH (i.e. got referral letter from Polyclinic), enjoying cheaper rates but doesn't get to choose doc and every visit is by different gynae, hence cannot really ask the opinion.
I'm not sure about how others who are delivering in KKH feels about the service there, but to me, they may be pro but not very service oriented lor.
This Tuesday when I went for my routine checkup, I got to wait for more than 2 hours outside the clinic as they cannot find my medical file. Then the best part is when I went in, the gynae asked me any problems, I said no and she just closed my file. So angry! as I have questions like is my baby weight ok, is it too big, how then will have to do C-sec, etc.... A whole string of questions but she just ignore and brush me off by saying dun worry, everything is ok. Waited more than 2 hours for them to find my record and only said 2 sentence to me in less than 2 minute. I was quite mad then.
I also asked whether engaged alr or not and how to tell, she just say engage or not is to be determined by clinical investigation. Then did nothing when I want to know! Just said: Ok, see you in 2 weeks time.
I was even wondering if I shld return for the checkup 2 weeks later, knowing that it is going to be same : any problem? See you in 2 weeks time thing...
So if you ask me to seek my gynae for opinion, I dun think it's gonna work. Think most probably they will say: Up to You lor....
After that I complained to hubby and told him I want an upgrade to premium package or deliver at private hospital. He just say Calm Down.... *Sigh** no need him to say, I also know fat hope as we on limited budget...

Hi LiewLian Soh,
As a budget mum, I'm a subsidised patient (got referral letter from polyclinic) enjoying cheaper rates so does not get to choose gynae.
Not sure about how others feel about the service at KKH but to me, they may be pro but not very service-oriented.
Tuesday, I went for my routine check and waited more than 2 hours as they cannot locate my medical file. Then when finally my turn, the gynae just asked: any problem? I replied no and she just closed my file before I can asked any questions and have begin looking at the next patient's file. I have a string of questions like is the baby weight ok, how then will have C-sec is baby too big etc... But she just brush me off and replied, Dun Worry, everything is ok.
When I asked whether baby engaged and how to tell, she just say is by clinical investigation. She just did nothing when I wanted to find out. Then She say: See you in 2 weeks time. So angry...
Waited for more than 2 hours to see the gynae for less than 2 minutes and only said 2 statement!
Complained to hubby after that and told him I wanted to upgrade to premium package or deliver at private hospital. He just smiled and said "Calm Down".... **Sigh** Need not he say, I also know not possible as we limited budget.
Just praying that my delivery will be a smooth one...SO I think if I ask the gynae opinion if I shld rest at home, think most likely answer I will get is "Up to You Lor..."

duno SBCC got how many gynaes but heard that PD centre now only left 2, and both are lousy.. other mums tell me we must all hv a PD at hospital where we deliver so PD can monitor and administer jabs. after that we can change PD provided we dont sign up for any package with PD.

2005,
Havent heard of what needs to buy for confinement. Anyway, my mum will be doing for me so I suppose she knows how and what to get. But I'm a little picky about food and internal organs are a definite no-no for me. So I suppose she gonna have a hard time liao.
Just to share... I'm a bit concern abt my mum doing my so call confinement. She is now working part-time and when I checked with her recently about when she plans to resign, she told me tat only when I go back to work then she will resign!! Oh My God!! So according to her arrangement, her so call confinement only includes cooking the dishes. Of coz no need do housework. But baby got to take care my own, and feed my own etc.... a bit worried. Hubby also not very happy with the arrangement as he worried that I'm not being well-taken care of. **SigH** will see how things goes as time comes...
