(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi Li May,
Yes, it's good to rest more. Dun move around too much unless necessary. Good thing you have a maid around to help out on the chores.
I've already watched Da Vinci Code during opening. It's good. You should go watch if you can. Are you currently on MC now?
Don't forget to sterilise your milk bottles too!!

Hi Angeline,
Thanks. Will be checking with my gynae on my contractions this coming Sat during my visit.
 


Sleepy Garfield, I agree with YB, u shld put on pantyliner or sanitary pad & show it to ur gynae or seek 2nd opinion...

... we're all with u

Li May, Please do take care... how's ur contraction like... what shld we take note... also u shld better prepare ur hospital bag... in case ur bb comes early than expected...
I've also watched DaVinci Code, it's nice but some people may find it too slow... but it's worth watching... I've also watch Poseidon, it's nice n exciting... during my movie, my bb keep kicking, never give me a reast, mayb she feels the excitment too... hahaha
 
Hi Angeline,

I'm OK. My boy is also 1.5kg at 30th week.
I'm also worry that my boy will be small this time. My coy just went thru re-org and i have new task. My new boss very worried cos i will be gone in 2 months time for 3 months.
 
japepearl, ya, i noticed we posted ard the same time.. hehe.. so "qiao".
happy.gif
Next visit wd be in 2weeks' time.

missmoon, u r most welcome. Har noh, dunno which is which.. these 2 days have been feeling an increase in "tightening (as tho' pushing against tummy), tummy pointed then relax" & bb oso kicking more.. i forgot 2 ask him freq of contractions, tat is how many times/hr then its ok.

missyeo, going 32weeks this week. Not sure leh, gynae din comment on my weight.. 1mth ago bb is 1.something++ he said, average. Have put on 9kg in total so far.

MTBS, any of u experiencing achiness & discomfort in ur pelvic joint, the joint btw thigh & pelvic? Kinda hurts when i walk. When this happens, isit better to sleep on the side that hurts or opposite? Thanks.
 
Japepearl>> My gynea confirm mine is Boy nt girl..
I never see the sex organ but my HB, gynea and Nurse saw it.. lol
I went to see gynea.. guess what i have nt been gaining weight.. over the pass 2 week, in fact reducing.
How to gain weight ar?
 
Sandy,
congrats and u can start getting ur boy boy clothes.

Jazzy,
May be ur pelvis is explanding to get ready for the arrival of ur baby. For me i have backache problem. So hard to find a comfortable spot to sleep.
 
Hong,
Thanks alot but my mother kept saying no need to buy cos ppl sure give alot to u. so i only bought 1 3-6mth jumper for boy.. lol
 
Hi Mummies,
Spend my weekend wash up my boy boy clothes. Then transfer my girl girl clothes to the new wardrobe which delivered on Sat. Afterthat re-arranged the furniture in my bedroom.

So busy and tired!

Yesterday i felt a bit contraction (Like menses cramp). So worry that i keep went to the toilet to checked got SHOW or not? But luckily nothings and this morning dont feel the pain liao!

Anyway, I got this feeling my baby might pop end of June cos recently feel lot of BH contractions.
 
Sandy,
Congratulations! Finally knew the baby gender liao!

My girl pop 10 days early than EDD. I got this feeling my boy will pop early than my girl.
 
NOIF!!
You shifting furniture around? Is that allowed? YOu better not get busy too much. Be careful ok?

Sandy,
Congrats on having a baby boy. YOur hubby must be excited?!

Jazzyjas,
I experience the same pain, and there's no way to make it go away. The worst pain comes when I sat for too long and stood up to go to toilet. People will me be double over in pain. Now, they are so scared of me.

Hong,
I'm taking 2 mths leave and taking sporadic leave for 3rd mth. Did that last time and find it very useful lo. Luckily, my new company accepts my arrangement, in fact, welcomes it.
 
Angeline,
I dun know if i can make such arrangment. I think my boss want me to be in full force after i am back cos another collick will be going to labour when i am back. I may take 3 month straight unless they request me to come back after 2 months.
 
hong, my EDD is still ard 2mths away.. kinda pain when i walked ard. At times, wd have back pain oso. Har noh.. difficult to find a comfy position to sleep. Sometimes i woke up in the middle of the night to find myself lying on my back.

angeline, so no way to make this more comfy? Haiz.. i try not to walk too much today.. sitting is better for the time being.

Maternity Leave:-
Dunno if i sd take 2 weeks b4 EDD & rest.. this wd shorten the leave after delivery tho'.
 
jazzyjas
i dunno if light massage to back is ok but that's wat my hb does for me at nite...it helps to relieve a little. some days bad some days good...on bad days...cannot even find a comfortable position to sleep on. walk too much, feet swell...sit too much also feet swell. always hoping for the good day to appear
happy.gif


maternity leave: i'm planning to take only 2 months first and leave 3rd month optional. boss agreed liao...but i'm clearing my annual leave a week before my scheduled c-sect so i can catch up on rest etc. perhaps u can consider clearing own leave first?
then ML start on the day of birth? like that not so lugi?

sandy, congrats on having a boy boy
happy.gif


angeline, long time no see u liao. how u? ya lor, i also think so but then ah...hope when the time comes, she'll remember lor.
 
Angeline, u are so lucky that your new company never dismiss u once they know u preggy.
Me also lucky to have my contract extended, but no pay increase leh..
haiz..

Mummies>> after knowing it is a boy , i wonder shld i inform my MIL.. On the other hand, i find that since she don't care why shld i be bother about telling her.
Any advice?
 
Li May
Take care. (Hugs) You taking any medication to reduce the contractions? I have a colleague who had contractions almost throughout the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, she was in and out of hospital so often and on few occassions needed an ambulance to take her from the office to the hospital. She finally gave birth safely to her boy
happy.gif
You hang in there ok.

Sandy,
Finally!! You know the gender
happy.gif

Just let your MIL know lor.....at least you've done your part.

NOIF,
Aiyoh! Don't lift heavy stuff!!

Showering after Delivery:
Ask 2nd time mummies hor. Do you bathe in the hospital after you deliver? Wouldn't it be messy if we don't bathe?.... the body fluids will be all over us right??
 
missmoon, my hb is doing light massage for my back at nite b4 sleep oso. I thk it sd be ok, coz we oso learnt abt back massage from the pre-natal class. Do it lightly sd be fine.
Last nite fall alseep during the massage bt woke up 2x after tat. Not really go loo, juz woke outa blue, then bb starts moving ard. These few days, bb qte active. Din count the kicks these 2 days.
Only left wif 2 weeks' leave, thot sd save it until after ML, can use it as & when needed.
Am feeling tired.. bt there's nothing i can do.
 
Angeline,
My hubby at first wanted a boy desperately but as weeks come closer, he changed his mind set. He only wish that the baby come out healthy can already.
Missmoon,
Ask your hubby don't rub on your spine area.. Rub on the side. U can try sleeping almost like sitting position with pillow stack high. It helps for me. Maybe u can try.
Wonder how Garfield doing?
 
Sandy,

the kiddy palace 20% storewide discount just started? till when? cos i tink if shld get the things from the motherhood exhibition on end may or get from kiddy palace since there's a 20% storewide discount ...
 
Angeline,
Ehhhhh! Actually we dont really care cos we are Christian! My 1st pregnancy we also shift the furniture around leh.

Poppy,
No la! Heavy stuffs i ask hubby to help la.
 
Missmoon,
I thot hospital food are pretty standard?
Mt E food is quite gd - for those delivering in Mt E.

I heard TMC have special tonic soup for delivered mothers.

Jazzy, same my boy is also very active at nite.
I am so tired in the day like didnt have enough sleep.
 
Mummies,
Do you feel that you baby is moving more or less now?? I read from books that the kicks and punches should be less obvious coz not enough space liao. But my baby move a lot leh. Can feel it wriggling so much as if she is changing position all the time, throughout the day..... even more when I try to get to sleep at night.
 
Sandy, haha, i also think it's expensive ley but i think i want hb to stay wif me lo...cos i dun like to sleep alone in hospitals...heh

hong, ya, mt E food quite gd :p i dunno abt gleneagles though...i heard those who go thru c-sect cannot take confinement food for 10 days,..if that's the case, i dun mind hospital food lah, can choose the muslim meal (taste better than the chinese meals)

poppy, ya, still feel baby's movements quite a bit...but hor, some days more active than others ley. some days very quiet...
 
Hi missmoon,
During TMC's parentcraft course, we were taught how to massage. Must start massage from base of back of neck to shoulders to down the spine to the base of the spine. Paying more attention to the base of the spine. I personally think it's very helpful. Ask ur hubby to massage for you.

Hi Hong,
I'll be delivering in Mt E. Glad to hear that the food is good. How about the environment & the nurses?

Ya, TMC provide tonic soup for all mothers.

Baby's movements:
I feel lesser of baby's kicks & punches but feel more of her wriggling.
 
hi YB
thanks much for the tip! i will surely ask hb to do that for me
happy.gif
how much pressure to apply ley? gentle upward or downward strokes? Pai sey, ask so much questions.
 
YB,
I heard around that quite many hospitals are actually offering the tonic soup to confinement mummies liao leh. Don't know how true. I am keen in trying out Mount E. My hubby too. Wonder how the charge is like?

Hong,
Any advice on Mount E?

NOIF,
I don't mean religion wise. It's the heavy stuff thingy. I thought preggy women shouldn't be carrying heavy stuff around? It's no good?

Sandy,
My hubby desperately wants a baby girl. But my second comes out to be a boy again. At first, I can see strong disappointment on his face, but after that, can see that he only hopes that both me and baby are healthy, he's more than happy.....

Re: New company not dismissing me. I was also so relieved when they still want to keep me. Wow, your contract is extended. It's good news also. Pay increament wise, I also got nothing when I got confirmed, but already thank god that I'd got a job to sustain my livelihood.

Missmoon,
I'm very fine. Getting fatter as the weeks goes by. Ha ha. My gynae really faint when he see how heavy I am now. HOw about you? I'm sure your mum will remember to boil the herbal water for you la. DOn't worry.

Jazzyjas,
I tried to find ways and means to relieve the pain. But seems no way out. But to bear with it. Hang on there, another 2 mths to go only! Jia YOu!
 
Angeline,
I dun rbr they have special tonic soup like TMC who will cook the papaya fish soup for mother.

The tonic soup are quite standard thru-out for Mt E. Overall is gd to me, may be i am hungry after a long hr labour so my appetite is quite gd. hahaha.. I am so happy whenever there is food.

Missmoon,
cannot take confinement food for 10 days? really ah.. I know must avoid chicken for the 1st 10 days.

YB,
I prefer the delivery ward nurses, they are very nice. When i was pushed back to the resting ward, i find the nurses there very very noisy.
If u dun like their services, u can always complain to the chief nurse, she will go rd the bed every morning and survey abt the service. hahahaha.

baby movement:
I still find my boy kicking and moving alot, especially at nite. At the meantime, i prefer him to move lot cos last checkup he is still in breech position. Hope he move and shift and manage to head down.
 
Angeline,
I'm not the one who carry heavy stuffs around. Hubby is the one.

I just shift those cupboard or drawer with rollers, very easy to move around one.

Missmoon,
I tot only go thru c-section must avoid chicken?
 
NOIF,
be extra careful hor. My Nurse told me now is crucial period don't play play.
I also realise baby movement not so much as compare to the past 2 week. me now in week 31 coming 32.
Mummies going to TMC,
must tell me how the service and food there hor.. My friend kept suggesting me to go TMC but i already book for Mt A.
 
Morning,

I have another sleepless nite again and i got leg cramp in the mid of the nite. Couldnt relax my leg on my own this time, have to wake hubby up to help me. So painful and my leg is still in pain.

My boy decided to extend his disco session from 11pm to 2am and i can hardly sleep. Worse when i cant find a comfortable position. Haizzz..
 
Hong,
next time u got leg cramp, ask your hubby push your big toe up serperate from the rest of the toes.
Remember, u also must try to relax.
Try not to eat any more salty food, it helps. Drink more water but nt before bed time.
 
Angeline
me too, getting fatter by the day. afraid to weigh when i see gynae this week.

hong, NOIF, dunno ley...heard from friends and my mom also say the same thing...must avoid ginger/rice wine stuff including chicken for 10 days for those who go thru c-sect.

hong, these days, i find that the cramps in the leg are more painful. ask hb to massage in the morning to ease the pain.
 
missmoon, heard some say GlenE service is gd, they r happy wif the svc provided. A frd commented the room is kinda old tho'. Ya.. hope the stay there wd be ok.. coz i dun sleep a lot when i am not in my bed.

sandy, its expensive.. bt i dowan to be alone during the hosp stay at nite.

poppy, my bb is qte active lately. Guess the actions not obvious bt its more wriggling ard.. in the day & nite. Bt today, thk she slept late, coz only move a bit juz now when i woke up. Tat "throbbing" is bb hiccupping, during chkup last week, bb is doing it & i asked my gynae.
R u counting the kicking? These few days i din coz when i wanna count, bb sleeping.

hong, ya, at times when i woke up in the middle of the nite, bb oso. Then i cant get back to sleep, dunno wat position 2 take.
Woke up 3x last nite..
Had leg cramp early this morning oso..
sad.gif
Painz.. realised when i involuntarily "flexed" my leg during sleep, the cramps wd come. Ya.. now the area still aching.
Try doing ankle rotation & foot flexing every nite b4 u sleep.

angeline, i slept on my left side last nite & today woke up feeling the pelvic pain better. Perhaps u wanna try? Coz i used to sleeping in the right side all this while.

Pelvic Tilts:
R u all doing this? Still not qte sure how to do it correctly.
 
Sandy,
hubby knows how to massage my leg. I used to relax my le on my own just that i cant do it yesterday. Yah i think i have to cut down salt.

missmoon,
stime gd to listen to old pple advice. Never mind, no chicken can take pork.
I am so sleepy now.
 
Misssmoon,
I already no longer have leg cramp that often.. even there is also nt so painful as b4.
But i don't like the stretching feeling after meal.
 
hmm.. seem like we got more body problem when coming to due date..lol
I wish my baby come out early so that i no need to carry it anymore and can wear nice clothings...
1 mth plus to go !!
 

jazzyjas
then we'll look forward to a good stay there
happy.gif
ya, the rooms quite old looking lah but clean. i thought the nurses very chor lok ley, the way they handle babies.

hong
ya, doesn't matter lah, the food. i actually dun look forward to the confinement food after the 10 days cos i really dislike ginger and rice wine etc.

sandy
me too, dun hv cramps that often (touch wood also) but when i do hv them, the pain is more intense and takes longer to wear off.
