Fairarina,
Welcome, do you want to update yr personal profile here with fates? Like EDD? yr gynea name, hosp name? Baby's gene?
Oh! durian, my favourite food but i cant eat, my mil forbidden.Stated that baby's hair will be v smelly.. but what i learnt from others, durian is rich and 'bu" for pregant mum. you can eat some since baby at this stage starts to extract up to 80% of what you intake..
But due to high sugar content, dun eat too much.

Hi Yasmin,
do take care. But try not to overload on sugary stuff now. Can try to brew black chicken soup with red dates. My cousin faced the same problem as u and she drank the soup everyday. Not sure whether there's any scientific evidence to this but it's supposed to be nutritious for both mum and bb.
hi sponge,
woah...can give birth anytime now? woah...that's fast...so u are at 36 weeks?
hi gummie,
just measured my waist yesterday too...it's 39 inch!!!!! alamak...din realise that i grew so much...and now my tummy a bit on the high side...feeling a bit breathless.
hi twinkle-starry,
yes, tink my MS is back too. ;-( have been feeling nauseous lately...not sure whether i'm unwell or the MS is really back.

Yas,
Dun worry so much, mine bb was small too but gynae says eat more & rest more lo. & he's better now la. Like what the other mummies said, do not be too stressed or worry.
Starry, I had MS also in my 31 weeks or so but the degree not so bad, more tolerable than the 1st tri. I suspect due to bb growing big & presing on the tummy, like the 'zhang' (in chinese) feeling ya? Eat smaller meals did help. Now I;m much better.

Eve,
u're right... we better take this time to 'pamper' ourselves before the bb arrives. next time no chance to wake up late or laze in bed oredi...
i'm also like you, feel tired easily and cannot walk for long. also quite depressing to see pple wearing nice trendy clothes, may have to change my entire wardrobe after delivery. slimming down will be another great challenge...
fates,
ya hor... like dat how ah... possible i may 'pop' 2 weeks before or after if i deliver naturally, same for you... maybe we need a 'backup' plan?
ino,
i told my colleague abt my waistline n she almost fell off her chair
my tummy also feel 'high', has yr bb turned down yet?

Hi CP
Spring is the best weather. Even the midwives was telling us that it is the best time to give birth. So are you intending to have homebirth? I guess it is quite popular in UK and US ya.
Kicking is a good sign
dun worry if your bb is over active at this time. The best sign of healthy baby is their movements
Gummie
I'm not too sure if their research. Anyhow try to prevent from wearing too much
Zach's mum
Jialat.. so meanwhile gotta enjoy sleep first kekeke....

Ladies, do you count the number of movements your baby make in one hour ? I think I'm a bit paranoid but I get worried if I don't feel movements for a while. My friend told me to take a cup of cold water and then lie down and then baby will move. It works so far. But the hubby is getting a bit irritated with me for being so paranoid
My friend just given birth to a 4.4 kg baby. Without drugs. I cringe when I imagine how she manages to get a 4.4 kg baby out and she's very slim too.

We went to my mom-in-law's house yesterday to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday and I took the chance to drill her on how the Bumwear nappies work.
She said the twins use them full time except when they go out. That means even at night !! I can see why she's so enthusiastic about them -- to old folks like her, anything that can save money is good!
Use-wise, she said that after 3 hours, they just change the insert and the liner (wear back same nappy). Wear another 3 hour then wash everything. So one nappy can last 6 hours if the twins don't do big business. Here's the part I don't understand - she said the twins change to a clean Bumwear nappy at night at 9 just before they sleep and since they don't move bowels at night now, the diapers can last until the next morning. That's almost 10-11 hours.
How come ? Do babies pee less at night when they sleep, is it ?
And like what I said before, she's very happy they have no nappy rash.

Mae Lim,
For sure your baby will make big biz after each milk intake. Every 2 hours if your breast feed n 4 hours if you use formula milk..
Bumwear is useful for bigger older infants..
Oh! i know, u wait till yr baby poo first then put back e bumwear to save the trouble.

gals find this information, hopeful, its help
Braxton Hicks contractions may be difficult to differentiate from pre-term labor activity so it's always wise to err on the side of caution. Call your doctor anytime contractions are:
Accompanied by lower back pain
Coming at regular intervals
Accompanied by watery or bloody vaginal discharge
Are very frequent (more than four per hour)
Any or all of these can be signs of premature labor and require immediate medical attention. If you are past 37 weeks gestation and have had no other complications throughout your pregnancy, the call to the doctor can wait until contractions last 60 seconds each and are five minutes apart. In this case, you are going to have a baby, and yes, you'll know how real labor contractions feel very soon!

Mae,
I have a stupid question regarding Bumwear...
When the insert is soaked full of urine, we got to wring it dry with our hands before we throw it into the washing machine? Or?
Milo,
Cannot setup meh? Never heard of that tho' ...I thought can't move or shift the furniture only? DUH...

Milo,
Great minds think alike?
Very difficult not to setup cot now leh....like u....the things I bought for him were all strewn in the room. Bo bian gotta setup his room alrady. Worst case I won't be around when hubby is shifting the cot/chest-of-drawers/sofa bed/shelvings.

fates,
i also in the stage of cleaning and setting up the room for bb. No choice got to be ready by 37wk just in case lor. Since baby will be sleeping in my bedroom so that room is just for his chest drawers and stuff.
tat why i think ok to do things in that room as long as i m not there to witness it.
at times, bo bian got to get things ready and avoid some superstitions beliefs by my mum

Annie, twinkle
Hmmm but when my In-Laws brought the cot over, they start to setup the cot in the living room and I saw them setting it up leh
chris,
I assume the fleece won't be soaking wet like the inserts....its suppose to draw the baby's urine into the absorbent inserts, which WE suppose to wring dry!
ivy,
You bear to let bb sleep on floor meh? heheheeee

if yr mil did so, thats mean she didnt mind or cannot blame on you if anything happend.
1 of my colleague, kena blamed by her in law when she had miscarriage for her 1st one.. stated that she attended a wedding then crash with e pregrancy..
1 of my ex colleague oso blamed by her in law when she lost her baby at week 38, stated that my colleague was stubborn to set e bed b4 baby came out..
Really, i believe up to individual to believe or to think is it taboo or not. What i heard even two stories. 1 stated that can set up the cot bed only after 6th mth pregancy, the other set up after delivery..
for me, i just sat at the living room when i got my hubby to help me to despatch 1 single bed n move to my own hse and when he set up the cot bed.. i count myself lucky cos i didnt stay with my mil now..
However, she still call to check on me whether do i go for massage.. cos she thinks that baby's head will be square instead of round shape due to the massage.. the pressing ... hahah
