(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi missmoon,
Oh i see. Then u can only opt for c-section birth right? My lady friend also has placenta previa but she's grade 3. You r delivering in Glen E right? I'll be in Mt E. Think they r under the same Group?

I'm still taking my anti-thyroid medication. Gynae said will have to take another test to determine when I can stop temperorily. Preferably about 1-2mths before baby is born so that I can BF. Hopefully by next visit, can take the blood test.
 


hi YB
i see. ok, think i also better go check wif doc. ya lo, c-sec is my only option now. ya, i'm delivering @ Gleneagles

Juz went to see my gynae yesterday, boy boy weighin 2kg at 33weeks. Slightly bigger than normal babies of the week range.

Hi Jazzyjas,
I used to have very BAD constipation, but now I seem to get stomach upset very easily. Like you, after meal, I'll have stomachache &amp; tend to go toilet.

Hi Tracy,
Me too!! I always gain fats on my face 1st. Actually, for the photoshoot, I did some shading, so that my face dun look so fat.

Hi Sandy,
Hmm...Maybe JIA XIN for gal?? OR JIA LE for boy also??

Hi Mummies,
Discovered I have some discharge today. Very thick &amp; slightly yellowish. Is this normal?

Hi Li May,
How frequent is your contractions? How does ur gynae decided if u should go for induction or wait till EDD? My contractions are also becoming more &amp; more regular &amp; frequent. But my next gynae visit is only next week.
 
Hi Sandy,

So co-incident har.. My boy also named "JIA HE" leh.. but it's written as a lor.. It's given by my FIL.

I was thinking if I have bb gal next time, I will name her "Jia Xin", which means $$ increment.. lol
 
YB,

It depends, maybe 6-8 times a day, each with 5 mins interval, but coz I have valium and ventolin to sustain the pain....

I told my gynae that I could still bear with the pain, coz my 2 older gals oso the same, 1st one tolerated for 5 weeks and 2nd one tolerated for 12 weeks. Hence, is up to me to give up or tolerate. My 1st one I could not take it, 2nd one, I stopped medication, hence contractions very frequent...hen ce gave up.

I am oso havin the discharge that you describe, but my gynae never comment anything.
 
Hi Jazzyjas,
I also have the same feeling as you, like stomach flu over the weekend, have loose stools as well.

Tracy,
Try popping up your pillows when sleep at night. It helps. I did that and manage to zz.
 
YB,
Your list is very comprehensive. Should do my packing soon. My new PJs still not washed yet...heehee

I also get slightly yellowish discharge, but I checked with the nurse before, she says as long as it's not itchy or smelly it should be ok.

You monitor your contractions closely ok. Take care.

Lala,
I also prop up to sleep, but that day I think I prop too high, end up with aching upper back the next morning.

YB, Joline, Li May
My daughter name "Jia Xin" leh! heeehee!

Sleepy garfield,
REally??? Then u better buy the air cushion from Guardian liao!
 
Hi Li May,
Oh dear, sounds very painful. I also have contractions about 6-8times a day, especially after going to toilet. Do u mean 5mins duration for each contraction? I didn't time my duration though...Will do so from now onwards.
 
Hi MTBs,

Anyone experience discomfort in the lower abodominal when the baby moves? As my baby's head is now downward, it gets quite uncomfy when she moves her head. I wonder if I should go see my gynae since my baby seems to be moving so frequently...

Anyone felt the same?
 
hi may
i feel discomfort around tummy sometimes, even near belly button area whenever baby moves. sometimes i find it ticklish too.
 
YB, its not stomachache.. its juz pain &amp; discomfort like stomach flu. As tho' have wind, gas.
sad.gif
Guess i must have eaten too much.
I have dischrg almost everyday, mostly slight yellowish &amp; milky.

lala, having loose stools lately too. Thot might be coz morning take milk.

may &amp; missmoon, for me, its the pelvic joint uncomfy, at times a bit pain. My belly button felt stretched &amp; uncomfy at times oso. Juz now left pelvic joint juz pain a bit when i were walking.

Contractions:-
Thk i am experiencing contractions oso.. tummy like "blopping up &amp; down".. like a "wave. Coming &amp; going qte quickly, in seconds. I din count how many times oso.
 
huh, jazzyjas, i thought that's baby moving? the contractions feel like menses cramp, no?

someone told me recently that contractions feel like menses cramp + want to go pang sai that feeling...i wonder of it's true?
 
missmoon, dunno....
sad.gif
No idea.. it dun feel like menses cramp. More like the upper tummy tightens then relax. Tat's y i not sure isit contractions.. or bb moving.
Bt I feel like "ps" when i pee at times.
 
Hi Missmoon, heard from my mum that the contractions feel like wanna go 'PS' feeling.. just that depend on the contraction interval to determine if u about to deliver soon or not..
 
jazzyjas, mine sometimes can also feel that. i will ask gynae @ my visit next wk

fen fen, that's wat my frens say...now i very conscious...whenever feel the urge to 'ps', scared...dunno is it really wanna ps or contractions...
 
Missmoon,
I think the PS feeling is the last stage. 1st stage and 2nd stage of contraction is not really like that. The pain will coming from the center of the tummy and move to the back.
 
missmoon, u meant u have this "upper tummy tightens then relax"? Wd be seeing gynae tmwr, wd ask him.
Had milk with cereal almost everyday for bf, tat's y more easy to ps? Had gone 2x today already.. at times wd be accompanied by tummyache too.
Kinda scared to push when ps.
sad.gif
 
jazzyjas, it's more like pressure at the upper tummy, around belly button area...so i thought it's baby moving or waving...cos the feeling is like pushing against the abdomen.

probably cos of milk, easier to go ps. but mine usually brings on tummyache before i know i hv to go...
 
Ladies
Me too tummyache then go toilet and really scare to use strength though..
Nowadays not much of bb kicking but moving &amp; waving.. + legs feeling wobbly like cannot hold the body liao.. getting more tired also...
sad.gif
 
missmoon, mine is above the belly button. It wd tighten (as tho' pushing against tummy), tummy pointed then relax. Sometimes i like to think its bb playing ard in my tummy loh.

fruitee, sometimes it's coz now bb is bigger, lesser room to play ard so the movements mite not be obvious. Tat's wat i thk lah.. my bb oso din move much yest until bedtime. My legs felt like this too!! When i tried 2 squat, i find tat my joints at the kneecaps felt weird.
I dun go unless nec for ps, i cant sit too long.
 
Jazzy
I guesses so too.. no room for bb big actions liao.. keke..
Now I cant even squat, can feel the strain when squat if sometimes go public toilet bo pian those squat ones.. wah.. can be a killer loh..
Sit too long, can feel my butt cramping... wah.. terrible feeling...
sad.gif
 
Hi Ladies,
I also scare to use too much strength when i "ps". Worst till if i dont push, "ps" wont come out cos I always have constipation problem.

I thought since baby growing bigger everyday, bb movements/actions will be more obvious? 2 days ago, my baby also didnt move much untill at night. Yesterday, i first felt bumps over my tummy as if baby is rubbing her arms against my tummy. Sort of ticklish too.

Fruitee,
I also felt that my legs cant carry my weight liked it used to. sort of "nuar nuar" like that.
 
jazzyjas, fruitee
if above belly button then i think it's baby moving...i also get that but usually at nite. i've noticed that baby gets active for a few days and then slow down over next couple of days before he gets active again...gynae neh tell me to monitor movements ley

ya, also feel legs weak...like cannot handle the weight of upper body liao...
 
Gebbera,
i think too much strength wun push the bb out but if u push too much during PS u may end up having piles.

Jazz, Missmoon,
Gd to go toilet to clear bowel.

My mum doesnt like me to go squarting toilet so all mummies i think seating toilet bowel is safer for us.
 
fruitee, i try not to go places that have no loo for too long, coz mite nid to go. Ya.. esp during working, when u have thgs 2 do, u cant possibly move ard too often. Usually my butt wd become numb..
sad.gif


gebbera, i wd usually drink prune juice first. Lately din drink coz drinking milk oso can go ps somedays.
Regd bb movements, i oso not sure sd it be more obvious a not.. perhaps kicking &amp; punching wd be felt more obviously rather than wrigging abt.

missmoon, at nite my bb wd usually kick left or right.. so above belly button is bb loh?? Perhaps bb is tired or overslept at times. My gynae din ask me monitor movements oso.. thot ask him tmwr. 1mth din go many questions.. hee....

Hb commented tat i like grow "shorter"?! Ha....
 
hi hi

I think all of you must be waiting for the Motherhood fair end of the month to cheong and buy buy buy.... wah xiong.... *sweat*
 
hong, true...i always find seating toilets but only in selectively cleaner ones lah...otherwise cannot do business.

jazzyjas, ya, must be bb
happy.gif
sometimes can see a hill on tummy...got waves etc. grow shorter? cos u growing sideways, heh...that's why look shorter? i look like a ball now cannot imagine wat i wld look like in another few weeks...jia lat
 
Missmoon,
ya loh. sometimes i also see a small hill on tummy or waves. I liked watching my tummy when that happens. You?

Jazzjas,
your hubby so funny. kekeke...

Monitor baby's movements:
Read from somewhere that we ought to monitor baby's movement when we reached the 3rd trimester but have gotten to start on which week onwards.
How to monitor: Lie down on your side for 10 mins and start counting baby's movement. Baby should move at least 10 times during this 10 mins.

We should monitor baby's movements twice a day, one time in the morning and one time in the evening.
 
hong,
sad to say i already have piles. sob sob....
scare during labour, i pushed too hard and the piles came out. It does happen to some of the mummies in the other threads.

btw, have you mummies read the thread on "Labour stories to share?" It's quite interesting. At least we get to learn what happens during Labour and what to expect during Labour.
 
gebbera
ya, ya...enjoy it but sometimes see liao scary lo...sometimes it tickles. haa

but bb movement so erratic...how to keep track ley? sometimes active early in morning, sometimes afternoon? so long as they move, then start counting issit?
 
Hi missmoon,
My gynae gave me a chart and told me to record down the number of baby movements from 9.00am to 9.00pm everyday. As long as there are 10 times a day, should be ok.
 
Mummies,
Me too! Scared to push hard when PS
sad.gif


My achy back! Sometimes I feel as if my back is falling apart. Do you mummies feel the same?? Can't sit, lie, stand or walk for long periods....need to change position every now and then....sigh
 
Hmm, Jasline>> My gynea never ask me monitor my baby movement. Funny hor? I am going to see him tomorrow , i better ask him about my weight.
 
Gebbera
Ya loh... sometimes i think, how long my legs can hold me.. ahaha.. chiam..

Missmoon
Yah.. at nite I still can see the movement of my tummy... but not that frequet liao.

Now also cannot control bladder... last week was like 2 hrs once.. now every hr I gonna go toilet... haiz..

Jazzy
I also grow shorter liao.. look so fat.. no confident...
 
Hi missmoon, Sandy,
I only saw my gynae yesterday, so she asked me to start from today.

Hi Gebbera, Fruitee,
I also leh. I feel like my stomach very heavy now. And if I squat, I cannot get up. When I walk, I feel myself walking like a penguin now. Still got 2 months to go, don't know how.
 


Mummies, do u realies most ppl don't give up sit to u ? They will just ignore or act never see.
I was carrying things and i was tired after work but no one offer me a sit. I got to stand throughout the whole journey on the bus. So pack somemore...
Do u all feel easy tired and not enough sleep ? Weeks ago i got to wake up every 3 hour at night to go toilet. Now reduce .. but still have difficulty sleeping haiz
