tinklebell,
I think we dont have to worry too much bout baby's weight now. As long as our gynae say everything is gd. When I mentioned to my gynae "hah, bb so big ah". He still can tell me "No lah...baby's average weight at birth is arnd 3kg range so urs not tat big also" *lol*
And maybe my bb went thru a growth spurt for that time....will see how the bb's weight is again during the next appt
hidora,
I hope its only bb going thru a growth spurt...will slow down a bit in gaining weight...cos hoping that bb will be like 3-3.5kg when i am due to deliver
MOAP,
ur gal got dimples...very sweet!
I am hoping my gal got dimples also....cos hb got dimples although i dont have...scarly one side dimples only...*lol*
Medusa,
ur gal quite gd at posing in front of camera hor...hehe...quite photogenic

Hello Mummies
Just came back from my check-up, baby is on small side only 935g at 28w. Quite worried but I guess that means I have to eat more durians !
Any of you have to go for any detailed scan after 28w ? Am going for one in 2 weeks to check that blood flow to/from placenta is fine.

joy: my baby was 700g at 25 weeks and 1300g at 30 weeks ! so dont worry, the growth spurt is coming soon !
I just got back from 30th week checkup - nowonwards will be once a fortnight checkup.
i put on almost 12KG already !!!
mummies, can i gripe abt my gynae ... she's a rather cold person i feel. like today, i asked her if i sld decide my birth plan soon, and that i wld like to go for natural w/o epi ... and she looked shocked, said that not everyone has an easy delivery, and that we'll see when it comes ... huh ? i mean, sldn't a doc be more positive abt a patient's decisions ? and i asked if there was any breast massage to prepare for breast feeding (my friend who delivered in TMC said there was) to help produce the milk, and the doc said no, no such thing, just leave it to the nurses after delivery they will look after you ...
i just feel she is not very responsive wif me as a patient ...
sigh ...

K Ong,
some gynaes are like that. After I delivered #1, there was another gynae attending to the lady next to me (double bed room mah). Could hear everything discussed- I tell u, I was *SHOCKED*. The lady had delivered her 2nd baby, and was saying she felt tired breastfeeding. The gynae told her that "1st few days got no milk, the nurses bring u baby for just practise-practise latch only. Don't need to breastfeed lor. Discharge from hospital then breastfeed!".
OMG- doesnt a DOCTOR know that 1st few days is the MOST VALUABLE colostrum (pre-milk)? I think impossible she doesn't know, if want to give benefit of doubt, it's that the Gynae's priority is patient's quick recovery, so she doesn't care abt bfg aspect.

okipoki:
oic cos the pillow u ordered is of 15cm x 45cm which contains 220grams of husk ($17 + $7= $24). While tinklebell bought from Studioij one costs $12.90 (15cm x 28cm) with 150g of husk. Hmm $12.90 pillow is smaller so tend to feel more husk while the one u order is bigger, wil feel less husk.
but i tempted to order from Linsaw as more cute designs to choose from + can customise names on it. did u?
Josephine_tan:
i intend to work til my delivery day. Wat if waterbag burst during my work at office? oh dear, i cant imagine as most of my colleagues are males.
Hidora:
i m using crabtree n evelyn moisturising jojoba oil bodywash. b4 that was using dettol n scare my nipples to be very dry n itchy. after using jojoba oil, nipples less dry n less itchy. partly bcos i also applied the Avent nipple cream recently but not daily. I think e jojoba oil helps alot
eh y must buy those green big coconut instead of e small ones?
Paula/Carebear29:
look like our pre-pregnancy weight are the same n also on e petite size w 150+ height. well my bb ger is 1kg at 27wks 0 day n i hv gained 9kg (from 43kg to 52kg). ya agree that bcos of our small built, gynac has to control our diet.
Btw i heard cordyceps can make bb big. Not sure though. But my mum has been boiling cordyceps for me weekly leh. Paula, maybe u can to try cordyceps instead of durians.
but beware of fake cordyceps, must buy real one.
Lyn!
wow u are into ur 36wks, so wil be gg to deliver anytime?
Carebear29:
Dr. YC did mention to me that my cervix length is 4.5cm. For normal cervix length is from 4 to 5cm, that wat she told me
hehe maybe i wil buy e sheet protectors u mentioned. any particular brand?
Amy:
yes i hv been drinking cordyceps wkly boiled by my mum. N yes i heard cordyceps can make bb big leh. oh dear. hehe
MOAP:
perhaps ur gynac never mention abt ur bb's size if bcos bb right for ur size, also depends on mummy's size.
Shan & Mummies:
u can try cordyceps. i wont advise durians
Durians:
My gynac advised me NOT to eat durians! heard that try not to eat too much durians during 3rd tri, wil make bb BIG. Also, it wil cause fever in baby when bb comes out. not sure how come.
Ice-cream:
these few days been addicted to eat Haagen dazs new melon flavour ice-cream. issit okie to eat ice-cream during pregnancy? scare too cold n fattenning for bb.

Morning Mummies,
Kite,
I think its ok to eat occasionally cold staff.I think i may be far more worst than you.These days i have been drinking alot of cold drinks,fizzy drinks.Don't really eat much but drink alot.
By the way,do you have any colostrum NOW? I have been massaging my breast every time before i shower.My aunt taught me to peel off the skin that cover the nipple.I didn't ask y but i did as she said.Sometimes after massaging the breast,i tried to squeeze the nipple,and my my, there is colostrum discharge.Does that mean i will have more milk or i should not do the squeezing.Any advise from 2nd preggie and BF mummies.Medusa or Tinklebell,MOAP.

Medusa,
actually I was told by someone from medical industry that a lot of gynae still don't believe bf is good for babies...hence they are not pro bf...a lot of them either don't encourage the mummies to bf, or they just stay neutral abt it...
that's why there's many efforts to promote bf by organising bf seminars for the gynae....

I also donno how true it is....juz try to restrict myself

Morning Gal,
Jojo,
That is colostrum.and it means that your breast is preparing for BF. some of the mummies will start to leak at 21weeks while some don...and that does not mean you will have a good milk supply in future.and you should stop squeezing.

Good Morning,
Kite/ Okipoki, yes true, linsaw's bulk purchase has nicer design. BTW, studioji increased the wt of the husk to 200g. so, with a smaller pillow, it appears to look heavier. I didnt order thru the bulk purchase cos i prefer getting a smaller pillow.
Jojo, i do have colostrum but not much. In fact after i stopped bf, i noticed i still have that even after 2 yrs (before i was pregnant again). thought it was normal for mothers who have given birth. But then later on when i told my hubby abt it, he got a shock! Said it could indicate a tumour in the pitutory gland! So i went for a blood test and thankfully, blood test results were ok so I didnt go for a CT scan. Will wait and see after this pregnancy.
My previous gynae also didnt mention much abt bf'g. i thought it's bec he was a man. I also didnt bf during my hospital stay the last time round... in fact, nurses also just brought bb to me to suckle and stimulate the flow but no milk leh... no lactation consultant available as she was on leave the last time round so i couldnt ask the expert.
I think men wont know as much abt bf'g compared to women. my female friends who are docs are v pro-bf'g. And naturally i wont expect those who have no children to have in depth knowledge and skills on bf'g too. KOng, your gynae not married is it?
Celeste, yes, these few days, i feel tired walking and even sitting down
just want to close my eyes to sleep. i didnt sweep the floor for 4 days already cos i was really tired. Yesteraday went shopping at West Mall for a while. When i came home, i was really v tired.
Ladies, i finally bought my mattress for my playpen last nite fr seahorse. $39.90 triple fold. since my old pp doesnt have a bassinet, i have improvised it by placing layers of mattresses inside. The size fits perfectly. But i think 1 set is not enuf- will buy another one during the weekend. I suppose later on, i can use the mattress for my bb to sleep on while she is older.
re: baby's comforter set
where to get nice bb comforter sets? went to Tom and Stephanie last nite... the design not nice, quite dirty and somemore so expensive!

Okasan,
Though this is my 2nd time preggie.But i failed terribly bf my first boy.Give up after 1mth loh.Can't believe the gynae do not have enough knowledge about BF. Maybe after we all deliver, we should bf in the public to encourage and educate them as a group..haha!
Celeste,

MOAP,

And thks for the diaper bag...i had saw this aution too but still hesitating to buy or not.Do you know how much is the usual price?
Tinklebell,

Hi Okasan & other mummies
Good morning! I'm joining in to this chat group. My EDD is also June'06.
Btw, I think Aussino's bb comforter set is most value for $. I've bought the ABC design. Before i found this set @ Aussino, i was looking everywhere, Kidsmall, Kiddy Palace, Tom & Stephenie, John Little, Robinsons but didn't see any i like. Aussino's is 100% cotton, i feel most worth the $.

Celeste: we same due date, you delivering at TMC as well?

Tinklebell,
Ya.I read from one of the thread delivery in NUH can have a candlelight dinner on the last stay in the hospital but i think that only applies to A1 ward patient.I think i still choose NUH cos it is nearer to my house.Will seek advise from the hospital for BF on my next visit.
Hello Serene,
My initial EDD is also on 12 June,happen to be my wedding anni too.But after ultra sound scan,the correct EDD should be 25 June.Too bad,cannot celebrate both bb birthday and our Anni.

a friend recommended ms rasidah 94305956 free lance. My friend's figure went back to prenatal after maternity leave, so i asked for her contact.
her chg are $350 for 7 sessions.
she sounded nice on the phone, booked her already.
no other charges, like oil, and wrap costs.

Jo/ JoJo, no leh, not our anniversary.. the hospital organised that and i think it applies only if u stay in A1 ward. I love their 1 bedder...super big!
Hi Serene, welcome ! u also under Dr Adrian at cck? Must book bed so early? He only asked abt wh hospital i will be delivering... never mention abt the beds.
BTW, one word of advise for MTB... if u happen to be in labour, dont call 995 hor. One of my frens called 995 and ended up in the hospital nearest to her home. No gynae to attend to her during delivery.

Morning Mummies,
JoJo,
I was reading the "New Well Pregnancy Book", and I shall quote down a few paragrahps in the section "Preparaing to Breast-feed"
1) Many doctors advise that mothers begin breast massage and manual expression of colostrum after week 36 of pregnancy. Massage and expression are not recommended before that time because they cause the release of the hormone oxytocin, and there is concern that this might cause premature labor in a few women.
2) Studies have shown that expressing colostrum does help prevent breast engorgement and sore nipples in the first weeks.
3) Expressing colostrum stimulates the tiny muscles around the ducts that suqeeze the milk down, and stretches the ducts themselves so that they can hold more milk.
Breast Massage Method

JoJo,
I was reading the "New Well Pregnancy Book", and I shall quote down a few paragrahps in the section "Preparaing to Breast-feed"
1) Many doctors advise that mothers begin breast massage and manual expression of colostrum after week 36 of pregnancy. Massage and expression are not recommended before that time because they cause the release of the hormone oxytocin, and there is concern that this might cause premature labor in a few women.
2) Studies have shown that expressing colostrum does help prevent breast engorgement and sore nipples in the first weeks.
3) Expressing colostrum stimulates the tiny muscles around the ducts that suqeeze the milk down, and stretches the ducts themselves so that they can hold more milk.

Re: Malay massage lady
One mummy advised me that for natural delivery, you can start the massage asap. But for those who had c-section, must wait for 6-8wks b4 doing the massage.

But he hasnt mentioned anything abt the 32 week detailed scan. I thought there is supposed to be such a scan??? my next visit will be at 32 weeks already. Detailed scan will be at TMC again, i suppose?
