Twinkle-starry,
I found this article, but i doubt that you experienced such cramps rite?
"Have you noticed the muscles in your uterus tightening now and then? Some women feel these random contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions in the second half of pregnancy. Lasting from 30 to 60 seconds, they're nonrhythmic and irregular and, at this point in your pregnancy, they should be infrequent and not painful. (When you're within a few weeks of your due date, it's normal for Braxton Hicks contractions to become more frequent and even somewhat painful; in fact, they're often called "false labor" because sometimes it can be hard to tell them from the real thing.) Until 37 weeks, though, your baby is still premature. So if you're getting frequent contractions (even if they don't hurt), it may be a sign of preterm labor. Call your practitioner immediately if you have an increase or change in vaginal discharge (especially if it's watery, mucus-like, or pink or tinged with blood), abdominal pain or menstrual-like cramping, more than four contractions in an hour, an increase in pressure in the pelvic area, or low back pain, especially if you didn't have it before."

gals,
for your general knowledge.. I read this article yesterday... not to scare anyone of you... but best that we noe and prevent.. if you find that you suddenly swollen better get yr gynea to check on you..
What is preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia, also known as toxemia, is a complex disorder that affects about 5 to 8 percent of pregnant women. You're diagnosed with preeclampsia if you have high blood pressure and protein in your urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The condition most commonly shows up after you've reached 37 weeks, but it can develop any time in the second half of pregnancy, as well as during labor or even after delivery (usually in the first 24 to 48 hours). It's also possible to get preeclampsia before 20 weeks, but only in rare cases, such as with a molar pregnancy. Preeclampsia can range from mild to severe, and it can progress slowly or rapidly. The only way to get better is to deliver your baby.
How can preeclampsia affect my health and my baby's?
The more severe your preeclampsia and the earlier it occurs in your pregnancy, the greater the risks for both you and your baby. Most women who get preeclampsia develop a mild version near their due date and they and their babies do fine with proper care. But when preeclampsia is severe, it can affect many organs and cause serious or even life-threatening problems. That's why you'll need to deliver early if your condition is severe or getting worse.
Preeclampsia causes your blood vessels to constrict, resulting in high blood pressure and a decrease in blood flow that can affect many organs in your body, such as your liver, kidneys, and brain. When less blood flows to your uterus, it can mean problems for your baby, such as poor growth, decreased amniotic fluid, and placental abruption when the placenta separates from the uterine wall before delivery. In addition, your baby may suffer the effects of prematurity if you need to deliver early to protect your health.
Changes in your blood vessels caused by preeclampsia may cause your capillaries to "leak" fluid into your tissues, which results in swelling (known as edema). And when the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys leak, protein from your bloodstream spills into your urine. (It's normal to have a tiny amount of protein in your urine but more than a little bit can signal a problem.)
In rare cases, preeclampsia can lead to seizures, a condition called eclampsia. In fact, "pre-eclampsia" was so named because it was first identified as the condition that leads to these seizures. All women with severe preeclampsia are given magnesium sulfate, an anti-seizure medication. That's because the seizures can be hard to predict though they're often preceded by symptoms such as severe or persistent headache, blurred vision or seeing spots, or intense upper abdominal pain).
Up to 20 percent of women with severe preeclampsia will develop a condition called HELLP syndrome. HELLP stands for Hemolysis, the breakdown of red blood cells; Elevated Liver enzymes; and Low Platelets, the blood cells that are necessary for blood clotting. Having this condition puts you and your baby at a higher risk for the same kinds of problems you would have with severe preeclampsia. Once you develop preeclampsia, you'll have your blood tested periodically for signs of HELLP syndrome.
How would I know if I had preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia often has no obvious symptoms, particularly in the early stages, so you may not feel sick. What's more, some symptoms of preeclampsia, such as swelling and weight gain, may seem like normal pregnancy complaints. So you might not know you have the condition until it's discovered at a routine prenatal visit, when a nurse takes your blood pressure and checks your urine for protein. (This is one of the reasons it's so important not to miss your appointments.)
Your blood pressure is considered high if you have a systolic reading of 140 or greater or a diastolic reading of 90 or higher. Because blood pressure can fluctuate during the day, you'll need to have more than one reading to confirm that it's consistently high. The nurse will also dip a test strip into your urine sample to look for protein. The amount of protein in urine can also fluctuate during the day, so if your practitioner suspects there's a problem, she'll have you collect your urine for 24 hours so it can be tested.
Preeclampsia can also come on suddenly between prenatal appointments, so it's important to be aware of the possible symptoms. Call your midwife or doctor right away if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. This is caused by water retention that can also lead to a rapid weight gain so also let your caregiver know if you gain more than 4 pounds in a week. (Be aware, though, that not all women with preeclampsia have swelling.) With more severe preeclampsia you may have other symptoms as well, including:
A severe or persistent headache
Vision changes, including double vision, blurriness, seeing spots or flashing lights, light sensitivity, or temporary loss of vision
Intense pain or tenderness in your upper abdomen
Nausea or vomiting
What causes preeclampsia?
Despite extensive research, no one knows for sure what causes the condition. It's likely that there's no single explanation. Genetics, certain underlying diseases, the way your immune system reacts to pregnancy, and other factors may play a role. Most experts believe that many cases of preeclampsia actually begin early in pregnancy, well before any symptoms become evident.
One theory is that it happens when the placenta fails to implant properly in the lining of your uterus and your arteries in that area don't dilate as they should, so less blood flows to the placenta. In other cases, having a condition such as chronic hypertension or diabetes can cause the decreased blood flow to the placenta. This can set off a complex chain of events that includes constricted blood vessels (leading to high blood pressure), damage to the vessel walls (leading to swelling and protein in your urine), and changes in blood clotting, which in turn can cause a host of other problems.
Does having high blood pressure before pregnancy put me at higher risk for preeclampsia?
Yes. If you're found to have high blood pressure before you conceive or during the first half of your pregnancy, you're considered to have chronic hypertension and your practitioner will need to monitor you closely during your pregnancy to make sure that your blood pressure stays under control and your baby is thriving, and to watch for signs of preeclampsia and other complications. Women with chronic hypertension who develop preeclampsia are at higher risk for complications than women with either condition alone.
What else puts me at high risk for preeclampsia?
It's more common to get preeclampsia for the first time during a first pregnancy. However, once you've had preeclampsia, you're at higher risk for developing it again in later pregnancies. The more severe the condition and the earlier it occurred, the higher the risk. In fact, if you had severe preeclampsia that started before 30 weeks of pregnancy, your risk of getting it again may be as high as 40 percent. Other risk factors include:
Having chronic hypertension (as mentioned above)
Having certain blood clotting disorders, diabetes, kidney disease, or an autoimmune disease like lupus
Having a close relative who has had preeclampsia (such as a mother, sister, grandmother, or aunt)
Being obese (having a body mass index of 30 or more)
Carrying two or more babies
Being younger than 20 or older than 40
How is preeclampsia managed?
It depends on how severe it is, how far along you are, and how your baby's doing. You'll probably be hospitalized at least for an initial assessment and possibly for the rest of your pregnancy. Besides blood pressure and urine testing, your practitioner will do a number of blood tests to find out how serious the problem is. You'll also have a sonogram to check your baby's growth, and a biophysical profile (BPP) and nonstress test (NST) to see how your baby's doing.
If you have mild preeclampsia and you're 37 weeks or more, you'll likely be induced right away, especially if your cervix is starting to thin out and dilate. Or, if there are signs that you or your baby can't tolerate labor, you'll have a c-section.
If you're not yet at 37 weeks, your condition is mild and appears stable, and your baby's in good condition, you probably won't need to deliver right away. Instead, you might be sent home and told to take it easy, or your practitioner might want you to remain in the hospital so that you can rest in bed and be monitored. Although no definitive studies show that bedrest improves the outcome for you and your baby when you have preeclampsia, it's true that blood pressure is generally lower when you're at rest. So most practitioners will recommend restricting your activities or going on modified bedrest. (Complete bedrest, in which you're confined to bed for an extended period, is probably not helpful and increases your risk for blood clots.)
Whether at home or in the hospital, you and your baby will be monitored closely for the rest of your pregnancy. If you're at home, this will mean coming in to see your practitioner for frequent blood pressure checks and urine tests, as well as going in for periodic sonograms and NSTs, and doing daily fetal kick counts. If at any time your symptoms indicate that your preeclampsia is getting worse or that your baby isn't thriving, you'll be re-admitted to the hospital and will probably need to deliver.
If you're diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, you'll definitely have to spend the rest of your pregnancy in the hospital. And you may be transferred to a hospital where you can be cared for by a high-risk pregnancy specialist. You'll be given magnesium sulfate intravenously to prevent seizures, and another medication to lower your blood pressure if it's extremely high. If you're 34 weeks or more, you'll be induced or delivered by c-section. If you're less than 34 weeks, you'll be given corticosteroids to help your baby's lungs mature faster. If you don't deliver immediately, both you and your baby will be monitored extremely closely. You'll be induced (or, in certain situations, delivered by cesarean section) at the first sign that the preeclampsia is getting worse (including if you have HELLP or eclampsia) or your baby is not thriving inside, regardless of where you are in your pregnancy.
If you develop preeclampsia during labor, you'll be monitored closely. Depending on your situation, you may be given magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures and medication to reduce your blood pressure.
After delivery, you'll remain under close supervision for a few days to keep tabs on your blood pressure and watch for signs of other complications. Many cases of eclampsia and HELLP syndrome happen after delivery, usually during the first 48 hours. So expect to continue having your blood pressure taken frequently. Most women, particularly those with mild preeclampsia, see it start to go down in a day or so. More severe cases often remain elevated for longer. Those women are given magnesium sulfate through an IV for at least 24 hours after delivery to help prevent seizures, and may end up going home on blood pressure medication.
Is there any way I can avoid getting preeclampsia?
There's no known way to prevent preeclampsia, although there's ongoing research in this area. Several studies have looked at whether taking extra calcium or a low dose of aspirin could help prevent or treat preeclampsia, but the results have been conflicting and most experts don't recommend either one routinely for low-risk women. One small study showed that women who took vitamins C and E had a lower rate of preeclampsia, and large studies are now under way in Britain and the United States to test this prevention strategy. Until we know for sure, the best thing you can do is get good prenatal care and keep all your prenatal appointments. At each visit your healthcare provider will check your blood pressure and test your urine for protein. It's also important to be aware of the warning signs of preeclampsia so that you can alert your caregiver and get treated as soon as possible.
How is preeclampsia different from gestational hypertension?
If you develop high blood pressure after 20 weeks of pregnancy but don't have protein in your urine, you're said to have gestational hypertension (also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension). If protein is later found in your urine, your diagnosis changes to preeclampsia. This happens to about a quarter of women who are initially diagnosed with gestational hypertension.
Most likely, your blood pressure will return to a normal level after you have your baby. If your blood pressure is still high three months after you give birth, you'll be diagnosed with chronic hypertension. That doesn't mean that gestational hypertension caused you to develop chronic hypertension. Instead, you probably had chronic hypertension all along and just didn't know it. Pregnancy usually causes blood pressure to decrease at the end of the first trimester and throughout much of the second trimester, so it can temporarily hide chronic hypertension. So if your first prenatal visit wasn't until late in the first trimester or even later, your practitioner might not have caught it until later in your pregnancy.

hi annie,
tks for the info, my cramps are mild painful and it can last for 10 mins or more. i had the same cramps only once a day. at times it could be nite or morning. I already ask doctor and it is not Braxton Hicks. It is the womb tightening due to low placenta trying to move upwards and bcos baby is big the difficulty make it bleed and cramps.

Twinkle-starry,
Oh! thats good.. at least, its safe.. u have low placenta like me... i only feel like my tummy tighten sometime.. but nvb check with my gynea.. thought my tummy is expanding..hahah..
you have better chance of having natural delivery if your bb is moving upward by now.. i doubt i can,, have 2 c-section since my placenta is low n no improvement..
U better rest well, eat red bean paste... help to "bu" blood and "bu" xue qi".. good for bb oso.. just that only chinese restuarant n some dessert store sell ...

Hi gals,
Oh! forget to ask something, anyone experience your bb having hipccup? my boy has it every day, alway after 1/2 to 1 hr after each meal..
Is it normal? my boy oso loves to play with his cord, kind of pain if he pull it hard.. diff feeling with hipccup, boxing, turning and others..
sometime, if he plays too much n hurt me, i will "slap" my tummy... he will stop for a while.. but my colleagues said i m harsh to him..

VEGGIE N HAZEL,
i saw the documentary programme on the baby inside the womb... how they react n what activities bb does inside.. tats y i have a slight concept of what my boy is doing..haha
Oh! yes, hiccup, like if you yourself wants to hiccup, how would u react.. same for the baby.. the whole tummy move v v wide move..
Slapping cause sound wave that pass through your tummy n effect on the amino fluid.. like pressure on it suddenly n let go.. my boy will keep still when i do so.. hahah..
By touching your tummy or touch smoothly will calm the baby n bb will noe.. (according to the scientist research)..
currently, i encourage my hubby to talk to him so that he can recognise his father's voice when he comes out..

veggie n hazel,
too bad, the documentary programme didnt show this year.. only the "inside the womb" from the geographic channel..
else, can get all the gals here to watch..
"inside the womb" only v v general info..
bb at our week already can indicate what type of character he or she is.. will prone u what they like or dislike.. my boy d.. no vegeterian food.. he likes fish, e most..
if your gynea have those 3D or 4D scan, u can even see their face expression.. v common in USA.. our local govt dont really encourage cos the normal ultra sound will show whether bb health n physical well enough..
my gynea once d a 3d scan on my boy, but he was sleeping that time and v shy..he put one hand beside his face just like we sleep side way..

taurus, hazel
my bb initially v afraid of my hubby.. once he put his hand on my tummy, bb will stop moving (everything, he make me so painful and my hubby will try to talk to him)...
i dun care, i just talk whenever i feel like i want to talk to him..so sometime, pp look me in weird way, while those whose are already a mum, laugh at me..
too bad! my boy wont kick in such a way that my tummy will show v obvious pop up one small area .. normally the wave..
read from book, that bb has hiccup.. just that my boy having a lot..haha.. maybe i drink too much water or too little..
Maybe, u can try to read a book out loud or talk to your hubby abt your bb loud so that he can hear both of your conversation..
i read from the book that my hubby brought for me for my pregancy..stated that if father talk to bb, he or she will recognise his / her father voice out of the crowd of people..
touch wood, if you under c-section, then bb will feel calm down when the gynea or nurse pass the bb to your hubby side (Cos u would b in sleep during operation)... so better to get your hubby to talk to bb.. at least, my hubby try.. not every day but at least he tried..

Annie, how do you feel when baby 'pulls' the cord? Sorry but I find it funny
Sorry to hear that milo, seems like pregnancy symptoms will come back in 3rd tri? 3rd tri starts from 27th week right?
Wow all of your babies so responsive to your voice huh? I only knew whenever he's moving, and I asked my hubby to touch my tummy, my boy will stop moving! LOL...

haha.. i oso dun believe but i learnt all this from the documentary programme that i told or mentioned here..
You actually feel a sting pulling inside yr tummy then loosen then pull again in diff angle..tats indicate bb is playing with the cord.. normally, not painful unless the bb holds it tight then loosen then pull ... all this figure i watch it from the documentary programme..tats y i have slight idea...
3rd trim should be start from week 28...
Hahha! yr boy oso behave like my boy..scare of father initially, now he dun.. v v naughty.. only keep still if i "slap" my tummy..if he make me v painful..
My colleague had this v bad experience that her son actually SAT on her tummy when she at her 3rd trimester..cos bb already learnt how to turn, rotate n her son so smart that sit on her tummy causing her so painful whenever she moves her body.. can still recall seeing her eyes turn red when she stood up at her seat... cant imagine if happend to me

Hi gals,
Watched this new from Taiwan.. A new mum feed her nb bb with milk + rice alcohol (small amount), bb died after she cont to feed on 6 mths.. cos there is a saying that rice alcohol helps bb to gain weight faster especially for those nb under weight or premature bb..
with a period of 6 mths feeding, the bb's body is found 0.238 ml of alcohol.. pity the bb..
so better take precautious if you take dom during confinement mth.. should avoid b4 breastfeeding the bb.

Hi Hazel,
I usually will touch my tummy and tok to my tummy .... and if BB move and kick/punch on a particular spot ... I will lightly pat at tt particular spot and usually BB will respond by kicking/punching back the same spot .... initially also find it funny toking to thin air ... but after a few responds from BB ... seems like he understand ... I dun feel like toking to thin air anymore ...
I start off by greeting BB in the morning..telling him its morning... Daddy n mummy waking up to go to work ... and night time telling him tt its night time n time for bed ... and when I am stress up at work or feeling down ...i will tell BB tt mummy feeling lousy today and he will respond with a kick and it will just brightens up my day ....8)
I am currently in my 28 wks and BB weight 1.16kg ... I also applied for the FBI card from TMC ...

hi taurus,
so envy yr bb respond back to u, i tried to pat my tummmy but he dun response back leh.
btw did yr gynae mention abt the size of yr bb? my bb is abt the same size as your 1.1kg at 28wk and my gynae claim my bb is big and if too big by due date (more than 3.5kg) , may hv to do a c-sect

Hi Hazel,
I also had difficulty sleeping for the past months ...coz BB will kick vigoursly whenever I sleep on my sides ... forcing me to sleep facing up which I find it difficult to sleep in that position... but recently BB already in head down position ... so I can finally sleep in peace on my sides....
Hi Annie,
According to my gynae, its quite normal for BB to have hiccups n they wont feel uncomfortable ... so I think should be quite ok ...
Hi milo,
Dun worry abt what others comment ... I have some ppl saying my tummy very very huge but according to my gyane and Mrs Wong from the antenatal class, BB size is not measure by the size of our tummy ... and only gyane can tell us whether our BB is of the right size n we should not cause ourselves anxiety by layman's comments ....
I am currently in my 3rd Trimester n recently seems that my nauseous is back to haunt me ... keeping my fingers cross tt it will be gone soon ....

twinkle-starry,
hmm.. yr gynea said so? Shouldnt be the other way? like if your placenta still v low and bb didnt turn downward then have to c-section..
Under normal circumstance, gynea alway encourage natural unless you require for c-section..
my 2 colleagues' wives had their babies natural delivery when their babies are at 3.5 & 3.7kg at due .. 1 of them delivered 1st Dec, thats y i can still remembered.. but her contraction time is 14 hours.. so all depend individual..
c-section is easy but the pain after delivery is greater than natural delivery..take longer time to heal.. i m still praying hard to have natural delivery so that my hubby go in the labour room together.. so scary to be alone at that point of time..
i still can recall that i had wisdom teeth operation, 3 at a go so after inhaled the oxygen mask, already coma.. hahha.. but the waking up was so terrible, i cant breath.. lots of fluid inside my mouth, almost choke me ... the nurse had to keep 'slapping" my back ...

hi annie,
well it depends , if mum is petite size and bb too big for the mum, it is safer to do c-sect. it also depend on yr hip bones and the passageway, dun want to hv stage 1 delivery problems and hv emergency c-sect later on. Well most gynae will encourage natural delivery unless they see the risk.
