I also received the mailer on 21 mar sale, its that spring sale and the 20% is storewide, not just 'spring' stuff. I thk Robinsons will break the customers into 2 or 3 groups, so not all will dashed in on 1 day, hard to shop also. But even if you dont receive the mailer, u can show your Robinsons card to gain entry, I tried that before

hi chris,
woah...overall your cot is a steal! so cheap! your cot must be pretty big in order to accomodate an european size mattress! lucky bb. got more space to roll ard. ;-P my cot is ard 71 cm by 132 cm...
enuff of sales already. i told myself to stop buying. btw, my colleague was telling me not to use bb wipes during the 1st month becoz of the alcoholic content. Best to use lukewarm boiled water to clean bb's backside.
For those MTB who wants to buy diapers, NTUC is selling Pampers Newborn for $14.50 (cheaper than the usual px of $15.40)...but of coz the previous TMC deal of $12.80 per pack is the best...too bad i missed it. ;-( (i also very auntie now...sigh...is that a sign?) ;-P

joyce,
i thought gynea can ease check using one type of strip that can put into your viginal path n take up, the colour change will indicate whether your contraction starts n going to labour soon or not..
most likely, all fake alarm.. think u have BH contraction just like me..
Take care

joyce,
i think your gynae have good grounds to suspect that. Likely he want you to have more rest at home so to ease up the stress. Just take his advice and rest cos at week 31, its really too early. Normal stomach pain shld be very constant as in you are always in pain while contraction is at regular intervals ( on then off and then come back again in minutes).

Hi Annie,
What is BH contraction? My doc was not around when I went to see him on wed. think he went on leave In the end was referred to Dr Ang at Sun plaza. he did insert something but did not comment much except to say it might be contraction and need to go hospital. Am a first time mum so very clueless...
Hi Ivy,
Thanks...maybe really due to stress coz now a lot of things to clear before going on my ML and am so afraid that I cant finish my work before leaving...

As for me, i go for a walk, play soft music or just take a day off to destress myself.. Sometimes, shopping do help for some gals
i got this full detail on BH contraction.. hope that this information can help you..
What are Braxton Hicks contractions?
Sometime towards the middle of your pregnancy (or even earlier), you may notice the muscles of your uterus tightening for anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds. Not all women feel these random, usually painless contractions, which get their name from John Braxton Hicks, an English doctor who first described them in 1872.
Doctors and midwives believe that Braxton Hicks contractions are part of your body getting ready for labour, and that they get the processes of effacement and dilation going in preparation for delivery. (This is called 'ripening'.)
How can I tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and real labour contractions?
Most women pregnant for the first time will often ask their midwives or friends this question, and the answer is maddeningly vague: "You'll know real labour when it begins." And they're right. Labour contractions are noticeably longer as well as more regular, frequent, and painful than Braxton Hicks contractions. Also, labour pains will increase in frequency, duration, and intensity as time goes on, while Braxton Hicks remain unpredictable and non-rhythmic.
What if the Braxton Hicks contractions become painful?
As your pregnancy progresses, these contractions may become more intense and even painful at times. When they start to become more intense and frequent, they may feel like the real thing, but the contractions will still be irregular in intensity, frequency, and duration, and can taper off and then disappear altogether. In other words, if you ever notice that your contractions are easing up in any way, they are probably Braxton Hicks.
Some healthcare professionals recommend that you use Braxton Hicks contractions as an opportunity to practise the breathing exercises you'll learn in your antenatal class.
What should I do if they're uncomfortable?
Many women notice that the contractions come more frequently when they do even light physical activity, such as carrying in shopping from the car. If you feel discomfort, it sometimes helps to lie down, or, conversely, to get up and take a walk, both of which can ease any pain you feel. A warm bath sometimes helps, too. Some healthcare professionals recommend drinking a couple of glasses of water if the contractions bother you as they can sometimes be brought on by dehydration. In general, a lack of adequate fluids tends to make your uterus more irritable - another of the many reasons to drink plenty of fluids while you're pregnant.
When should I call my doctor or midwife?
Call if your contractions are accompanied by watery or bloody vaginal discharge. Until you reach term (37 weeks gestation), call your midwife if the contractions are accompanied by lower back pain, if you feel more than three contractions an hour, or if they're coming at regular intervals; these are signs of premature labour. If you're past 37 weeks, there's no need to call your midwife until your contractions last 60 seconds each and are five minutes apart.

Joyce,
For me, i have this feeling of my private part got so squeeze n tight whenever i sit too long or wake up in e morning.. kind of disturbing, cause will make you walk like two legs apart n body bend forward.
Some gals told me this type of feeling is BH contraction.. Kind of sharp pain...but still bearable..
For what i Know, a real contraction is that the contract comes v fast n last longer with a gap of 10 to 15 mins apart.. The contraction will occurs very frequently n you do feel v v painful when times go by..

hi joyce,
do take care of yourself. last week, i was so busy walking at work that i tink i overexerted myself. The next day, my stomach sorta tighten the whole day! Felt so uneasy and uncomfortable. Called the gynae's clinic and was told to go down to A & E...but as i did not have other symptoms...i decided to adopt a wait-and-see approach. Thankfully, after a good sleep, i was ok...so, most importantly, must rest if you feel your lower tummy tightening...i.e. u will feel that your tummy is rock hard.

Wah...Annie so on it seems no need for me to help.
Yes, Babe99, if i were you, i prob will go to TMC by virtue of the fact that I attended antenatal there...like the maternity-specialisation of it. of cos Mrs Wong - Senior or Head Lactation/Parentcraft person is also an attraction.
email me at [email protected] and I will tell you more. no worries. cheers.

Hi everyone..
I've been MIA for a long time as I'm jus too lazy to post Just went for my 32wks scan. Little Kaelyn is growing well, weighing 1739grams. But poor mummy has to take more iron as my haemoglobin(anaemia) is borderline low 10.8/11. Well I've gotta "PU" if not mummy left with little iron. So OBS advised me to take iron pills every 2nd day if not i'll be unwell after giving birth. So now gotta pop iron pills every 2nd day
Hope that my BIG INTESTINE will not be CLOGGED after taking IRON PILLS... Does anyone has this problem???

Hi,
Thanks Annie for such a detailed write-up on the BH.Really benefited from reading it.
Hi all, Thanks for all the advice.
Dunno what happened either. the pain was at the lower left hand side of the stomach and started on monday but I ignore it coz tot it was gastric due to irregular eating...on wednesday it got so bad and the entire stomach seems to tighten into a hard ball and had trouble walking....so ended up going to see the doc..din expect the doc to send me to hospital immediately as I tot was on of the normal pain of preg
after the scare, me now urgently buying the essentials for the baby as I've not bought anything for him yet...
Hi Sook, nope, no leaking nor bleeding...just persistent pain that refuse to go away..funny now with the med and the resting at home, my stomach is better and bb is kicking more

I think it will be best to take lor. As for the sake of our health and our little darling. According to my OBS, he said that after labour, our haemoglobin level will drop as low as 7 even tot we are at bordline low so it will be best to take to prevent us from feeling lethargic after labour. And we'll have enf energy to nurse our little darling.. SO this is my motivation
Hi Ino..
Ours is not as bad. Still under borderline low
OBS said is to prevent from dropping lower. He said that it will be best to be above 11 b4 labour. Any constipation problem after taking Iron ?? Anyhow I dun feel tired, breathless or giddy leh??? Funnie ya..

Joyce,
It a very good sign that there is no bleeding or leaking. Most likely BH contractions. Did Dr Adrian prescribe you ventolin to reduse the contraction? You MUST rest at home, i.e. sleep-eat-watch tv. It could be very boring, but for the sake of baby, try to tahan to at least week 35 lo.

Any plan for pain relief?? I think I've decided to go for mobile epidural. Wanted to opt for TENS machine but was told that it will not be effective during the last stage of labour.. So how about you girls?? Any plan for normal epidural, mobile epidural, digital epidural, gas, TENS machine or etc????
