Hunniepot, I will sms you my details.
Jumbo, I think no need to put anything on baby's face? Cos don't know if the skin on the face is sensitive or not. Also sometimes they get the milk rash and all that. So just need to keep it clean and dry. I got Johnson's baby oil for the body to do baby massage.
CaratSoup, glad you can get the group discount also! Too bad we won't get to meet up with you. Relax and take care. I'm sure you'll do great!

Don't worry. Your baby's weight sounds good. Mine @30 weeks 1.7kg, doc said a little bit above average. Anyway still got time for your baby to put on weight. And apparently they have growth spurt during the 3rd trimester. So no need to worry yah? For asians, average weight of baby when born is about 3.1kg, of so my doc said. So I think you're doing great.
For me, I'm worried mine is too big, cos I'm short so I scared cannot come out! Kekee..
Hunniepot
Smsed you already. HOpe you got it.

But you have to watch your health too ok? Don't starve yourself, not good for you and for baby. Maybe can try to cut off all sugar and carbo. Eat more fish, vege and fruits. Even if hungry stuff yourself with vege and fruits. Cos at least those won't cos you to put on too much weight but is nutritious. But have to watch certain fruits. My doc told me cannot eat mango, durian or fruits that have too much sugar content. My doc also suggested get those breakfast bars for diabetic people, so at least those have low sugar content. We can do it! Only 2 more months left.
Rach
I think your baby is good size leh. So you don't worry so much. You never know one, maybe baby can put on weight the next 2 months. As long as your baby healthy, a bit below average is better than above average is better, in my opinion. Easier to give birth since we're short, and the size of our pelvic depends on our height. Anyway most babies don't straightaway come out chubby, even if they are heavy. Once you breastfeed your baby and establish a routine, I'm sure your baby will be cute cute and chubby.

Heheh.. I believe Ryan will be a tall boi one lar.. so my Mandy will want him one.. last time I mentioned my hb was only 5 pounds when he was born.. now he's so tall liao.. so small bb doesnt mean small sized when grown up.. agree with Jillian.. smaller bb better.. cos easier birth.. I wish my Mandy is smaller too..
Jumbo
Just as we were talking about controlling diet.. I was so hungry just now.. then I went down to buy pau to eat... while waiting for my mum to finish cooking lunch.. jalat.. then going to have my lunch in a few minutes time somemore.. yup.. think eating fruits will help to fill the stomach.. lessen carbo and sugar intake.. thanks for the info on the pampers premium
But where is Tai Hong.. near to Kong Tai that side?

Hi all,
Afternoon all. Today morning super busy no time to check forum.
And then got playout by GlenE hospital. Booked to go hospital tour noon, but when I was there, found my name NOT IN THE DAMN BOOK and the receptionist has contacted all mothers in the DAMN book that no delivery and bed rooms be available for viewing today! All except ME! I was so pissed off.
This morning already rushed like crazy at work just to go to hospital n furthermore got to take cab!
If only I am not pregnant and carrying a heavy stomach, I don't mind making another trip down. If only I was still working at my ex-coy where I am just opposite from GlenE. But I am NOT!
Really felt like crying then and furhtermore, my hb was not with me as he has to work.
Thank goodness, the receptionist said some couples were still keen to continue today's session and went for tour.
Also, by God's grace, there was a delivery room available for viewing as well.
Also, by His Grace, that becoz group is not huge and so can ask many questions.
But I really am upset how my name can be not placed in the DAMN book. So upsetting.

Dont get too upset lar.. all these are human errors lor.. so just forget about it? Anyway being so agitated wont be good for your baby.. read from some magazines that some mothers who are overly anxious esp during the 32nd week will have a higher chance of giving birth to a bb who is more attention seeking when grown up.. so just relax for the sake of your little one..

What I don't like is, the lady kept saying i didn't call when I did few days ago and even gave my particulars to that lady I spoke of. Stupid me, should have asked for the name of that lady I spoke of.
Don't think any of you like to be accused of not doing something which you already did. Rite?

For bb's sake, I 'm not angry with them.
Just upset that tix is the service given n the receptionist got cheek to tell me they dun do walk-in??? Huh?? I m not walking in leh.. it is juz one of ur ppl nv drop my name down n left it somewhere.
So, it is like if any of u or others better call 2 cfm the attendance and etc.. dun b like me .. so stupidly go down there n got accused lor.
Sigh. What a day.
Think my dear bb sensed me upset as well as she was initially actively kicking in the morning n seeing mother so upset, she behaved well till the nursery visit.
Dun worry, ladies.. just nagging..

koalarie, cut down on rice, noodles, starchy food like bread, potatoes, corn, gluten food like some vegeterian foods, flour made food like mee-hoon-kueh, prata and even milk.. sugar stuff, u should know lah.. not only carbo food make glucose high but fatty and oily food will make glucose level shoot up too.. cos fatty and oily food will convert to sugar if not use by body.. go for more natural food like veggies, fish and fruit.. can replenish more vege with rice for ur meal lor.. for example, if u are a big appetite like me, eat more veggie than usual and reduce rice to get the same quantity as wat u have normally.. actually can eat everything but take everything in moderation.. as wat my doc always tell me "You can have the quality but not the quantity".

Noted, Jumbo.. thx. Think got to do tat lor.. got really swollen legs.. scared later my slip-ons cannot go in leh. Now, both legs got markings of the slip-on strips.
Re: Hospital tour @ Glen E
Anyway, overall was quite enjoyable though cannot see how big the single bedded room is.
Re: Two bedded room vs single bedded room
But for sure, if you re in two bedded room, hbs muz leave by 9pm.. so leaving only mother n bb in hospital. N sad to say, two bedded room cannot ve bb in the room.. bb muz go back to nursery.
Only single bedded room one then bb can stay /w mommy throughout (assuming bb perfectly fine, e.g. no jaundice or complications).
Re: Labour room
At GlenE, very cute.
Got a 1st-stage labour room where there are 4 beds in it. Mothers b warded here first till 2nd stage then go into privacy of the single bedded delivery room. I'd say, the delivery room is rather suspicious and private. (Or maybe becoz I've not seen others.)
Fathers if tired of waiting, can go the common lounge n get a massage on the massage chair outside somemore.
A bit pity that cannot bring digital videocamrecorder in as no filming in the delivery ward.
Unless Dr allows... which I probably b asking Dr Chin.. see if she k.. not on the process filming la juz mayb something b4 n after..
Re: Freebies to bring home
Only 1 pkt of diapers n wipers. So, ladies in other hospitals re so much luckier than us in GlenE. =p
Looks like we got to bring lots of things.

Koalarie,
Same case as you for swollen feet. But after cutting sugar and carbo, the swelling went down dramatically.
I'm delivering in TMC, and no freebies. It's charged to the hospital bill at the end of the stay, whether used or not.
Hunniepot,
How come I didn't get any photo attachment email?

Jilian, charged to hospital bill?
I was at the annenatal class 4 TMC last Sunday n the trainer said didn't say it was charged leh.. but a set of bb clothes n diapers b given n breast pump can b obtained frm hospital instead of bringing our own one. Etc..
(sorry, that i didn't ask much then as hb n i didn't attend the TMC tour.. really sorry.)
Hunniepot,
another thing to add to ur maternity bag, is hb's jacket. Both TMC and GlenE got mentioned. 4get abt it.
Hunniepot,
U got tried to catch the thing moving across ur tummy? I kept seeing it moving across my tummy.. think is her legs.. heehee.. very funny but can b quite pain n itchy. My colleague's wife caught hold of her sis's bb one according to him.. I dun dare.. scared later hurt her.

Thanks.
And my baby has been very active the past week. His legs keep on moving, I think sometimes cos he burping. The feeling is so weird sometimes. And usually on my right side.
Yukie, Koalarie,
Yup they will charge us and put in the hospital bill. All the baby stuff you don't have to bring cos hospital provide then they bill us. You can ask again to confirm.

reiner,
I think you no need to worry. YOu're effectively exercising your muscles. As long as you feel ok afterwards, like not in pain or have sore muscles it's ok. In fact the antenatal class I go to in TMC the consultant don't teach us to squat so low but she did say have to do squat exercises where we have to bend at the knees until our thighs almost parallel to the floor. You just be careful when you getting up from your squat, don't just suddenly stand up in case lose balance or something.
