(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi paranoidmummy,
I forgot to ask my doc about the baby's weight. But she only weigh 1.6kg at 32wks.
Wah, u've put on 22kg? I've put on 13kg so far...

Hi dsiitan,
Guess we are all worried irregardless wherther our baby is big or small. I've more or less resigned to the fate that my baby will be born small & petite, like me...
If ur baby is bigger than 3.5kg at birth, then u gotta for for c-section? My doc says since my baby is small, I should expect a relatively smooth & easy delivery.

Hi Li May,
Pls take care. If u doc doesn't seemed to be concerned abt the weight loss, mayb he has he's own reason? No wonder ppl say that mothers are the greatest, because of all the pain they went thru during childbirth. Tat's y I appreciate my mother more now that I'm pregnant.
 


YB,

ur bb weight is better leh.. my bb boy only weigh 1.428kg at 32wks.. I'm now trying very hard to take more eggs and milk to boost up his weight.. by the way, my gynae did not mention that my bb weight no good.. I think our bb are below average but still within acceptable range..

Next appointment will be on Sat and it will be my first bi-weekly check-up.. bb already head down at week 32 but gynae said won't be engaged so soon.

re: wash bb's mouth
Mrs Wong from TMC told us there is no need to clean bb's mouth. If really want to just feed bb a teaspoonful of cool-boiled water after each feeding will do.. I think her main concern is if we use cloth to clean bb's mouth we might introduce bacteria orally cos all the accessories that put into bb's mouth must be sterilised before use..

I'm down with sore throat, cough and flu about a week liao.. this morning saw GP again and was given mc until tuesday.. hopefully bb will be okie and not affected by me..
 
Hi MTBs,

Yesterday went gynae's visit, bb 2 kg @ 33 wks... gain 13 kg so far... but feel so heavy already... my gyane always never say anything.. he js look @ bb count the fingers, ask me see the head, thighs... and he do his own things like those measurement for bb... never really tell me anything to control or do more... so I assume everything okie...
 
hong, missmoon & gebbera, thanks for the advice on the wet wipes.

Have bought 2 pkts of pigeon to try out first.

missmoon, i din noe has non-scented & scented when i bot tollyjoy. Nothing was mentioned on the outside so i thk the 1 i bot is scented.

happy.gif

Li May, take care.

Poppy, dun worry. Wait til the next visit, see wat ur gynae can do. Take Care.
 
YB
gyane said if bb too big maybe go induce liao..my #1 i gave birth natutally of cos with the magic epidural...he weighed 3.6kg at birth...was shocked at 1st cos dunexpect to be 3.6kg..think my last gynae calculated wrongly...
 
Missmoon, my gynae too dont measure BB size and hence the weight. Sometimes I feel so ignorant when other mummies ask what's my BB weight and things like that.
 
What bothers me is that I put on so much weight yet my BB is kinda of small. Maybe because I am anaemic? I kinda of feel guilty towards my BB coz it's like mummy never take good care of the baby.

Now I am stressed up with losing weight after birth and my stretchmarks are making me depressed.

BTW, have u packed yr maternity bags? I dont know which brand of sanitary pad to buy and where to get those open front pyjamas.
 
Talking abt pains.. I hv them every night, esp my back and the side of my buttocks. SOmetimes its so aching that I can hardly move. I feel like a humpty dumpty now. My fingers get numb too, even thou I sleep mostly on my right side, my left side's fingers get numb too.
 
Paranoidmummy,

Talking about pain, I have the same feeling as you. And talking about humpty dumpty, ha ha ha, that's exactly how my hubby describe me now. And whenever he ask my son, where is humpty dumpty, my son will give a cheeky smile and point to me..... Haven't got a chance to hit both of their head.

By the way, cookie cutter, you interested? I try to add on more order for you from the guy. I can only try now, since order is placed and we ordered from Japan.

Mummies,
I lost sleep totally for 1 whole week already. Can go to sleep at 1am, and wake up at 5.30am..... and have got no intention of going back to sleep. Work had become a major stress to me as I'm always down with migraine.

My colleagues commented that my stomach is very low now. I could be delivery much earlier than expected. I am very very worried now, and also, I'm quite relunctant to give birth early, due to astrology issue. I do not want to give birth to a Cancerian baby boy.... always had problem with man of that star sign. Firstly is my dad, secondly was my first boyfriend. Ha ha ha.... Am I too paranoid?
 
Angeline,
why not a cancerian? My hubby is a cancerian and he is a very family person. He still hope our boy will be at the same day but i told him no likely.

Mummies,
I went for my checkup last sat. I was so blur, i told gynae i am 34 week and he told me "NO, 35 weeks now!" I always miscalculate!
My boy is 2.6kg at 35 weeks. Gynae asked me abt my 1st born and he told me this may be smaller compare to the 1st one. Good new is baby has already turn down.

Missmoon,
for the stout bath, what brand of stout? just add the stout + warm water to bath the baby? I saved up ur mum method, if my baby really too heaty i may wanna give it a try. hahhaa..

Jazz,
Nice baby clothes, did u buy? Tollyjoy wet wipe is scented. Some babies are ok, some may not but we bought the small pack of tollyjoy wet wipe to bring out. I think there is another locate brand also unscent. Yellow packaging and can be found in JL.
 
paranoidmummy...i'm also anaemic and gynae has put me on 2 iron pills 3x a day! me too, like u, i feel so ignorant and lost whenever someone asks abt bb's size and weight...feel bad.

mummies here hv recommended the brand KARMY for those open front PJs, if u're interested. got mine fr isetan.

hong, i think any brand will do. i saw the ABC stout sitting in the dining area at my mom's place though...hehee...
 
missmoon
u got ur PJ from isetan liao...? got free bath robe or not??? the design quite alrite hor??? u try it on?? comfy or not?
 
paranoidmummy, my gynae dun tell me bb's size & weight. I asked once on bb's weight & he gv me an estimate. Since gynae din say so everythg sd be ok. Tat's y i din ask much either.
happy.gif


Pains:-
Woke up everyday wif abs aching.. somedays wif body & back aches.
sad.gif
This morning coz of the pelvic uncomfy, i woke up. Last nite woke up a few times, now i am soooo tired.

hong, ya, nice bb clothes.. Mothercare got sales oso bt not storewide i thk. But already bot qte a few clothes, rompers for bb, so cant buy anymore. Tempting.. bt i din buy.
Tat's y thking sd i let bb use the tollyjoy wipes a not.. bot pigeon pkt ones to bring out.
 
paranoid
dun bothers or worry lah...no gd for bb...if u hv doudbts..just ask him..maybe he just didnt come across his mind to tell u bah...so u just ask loh...i always asked my gynae like is my baby growing fine? is he heavy? how heavy? so at birth he will weigh how heavy? how long is he now? hehehe...the gynae will reply then said above avg..big baby...too long cant really measure..etc..at least u know mah...

ya..u can get the KARMY Pj...i bought mine at Parkway Isetan..if u are neaby maybe u can get fr there too..but heard JL and Taka oso have..but im not sure abt that tho..hehe
 
jazzy
actually i think johnsons & johnsons not bad too..the wipes are cloth like...then quite big pcs..hhehe..very gentle to the skin too...i ever used pampers brand...ok ..but too ex and no refill pack....
 
paranoid
u can get kotex maternity pads but quite thick and no wings. dun buy too many maternity pads..cos u may end up using normal nitesafe sanitary pads like me..hahha..i felt that more comfy loh...not so bulky..but some may still like thick thick one loh...if u think maternity pads better then can ask ur hubby to get more for u later...like that wont waste mah..last tiem i kiasu bought too many..then ended up all in cupboard..
 
dsiitan
ya, got it over the weekend fr parkway isetan. got the freebie too
happy.gif
material very soft, shld be comfy but i didn't try it on since it's a free size. limited in colours though. got the plain ones cos the rest of patterned ones quite aunty...haha

me too, got only a packet of kotex maternity pads...thinking of switching to the normal nite use ones after finishing that pack. usually how long does the heavy flow last huh?
 
missmoon
haha...ya loh..at 1st i saw i oso find some quite auntie..but managed to get 1 pink in stripes...that one not bad..haha...another plain blue one..

i think depends on individual bah..last time my flow was quite heavy for the 1st week..then later so-so..but my whole process lasted abt 2-3 wks plus ...cant really remember...
 
eeyore
missmoon and mine...in fact most mummies here got dresses...with front buttons...think more convenient for the 1st few days..
 
Hi, All Mummies,

missmoon

hmm..i oso forgot whether need to change during nites or not?? hehehe...u missed it for the past 9 mths?? hehe...in fact i dun leh...but if u breastfeed totally..heard the real menses will not return so fast..one fren of mine havent got menses for the past 1 and a hlf yrs ah...

dsiitan
There is a Jap at my office level hor, everyday she is like pumping BM in the washroom & imagine her boy is like 2 yrs old & still drinking her BM! And she's the one who told me, as long as keep pumping, menses wont come & it's has been 2 yrs that she sees her menses... wow..

dsiitan, fruitee
i got the soft cotton long sleeves button down, knee-length type (scared aircon in hospital cold)... oh, i dun miss having menses...just saying that dun hv it for 9 months, cannot imagine how long the bleeding will last. haha...

fruitee, i got the pastel colours type, no flowery pattern etc, ...design wise it's plain but still ok lah.

BF no menses....but hor, i've heard of cases where BF mummies still got preggie ley!

YT, haha...roll yourself from pt A to pt B if possible, no need to get up. ya i know wat u mean lah...handover, hand-holding for a while before u go. start counting down liao. when u going off on leave?

jazzyjas
wah, they so busy ah...but they dun hold tours on weekends right? i doubt i can make it on weekdays ley
 
hong, i didn't see any short sleeve ley...otherwise would've gotten at least 1...then not so hot when i do confinement. u got the patterned one huh?
 
Missmoon
BF no menses but still will get preggie, the bad thing is you wont know if you preggie loh.. unless all the MS la.. watsoever hits!
 
missmoon,
i got mine from JL. Yah all the flowery pattern.
Infact, i own two set of Karmy PJ bought during my 1st pregnant but they are the separate piece design.

Yah long sleeve very warm. U wanna go JL to take a look?

I will be bringing the karmy dress PJ to hospital.
 
missmoon, roll myself??? good idea...me counting days to my maternity leave...horray...i m starting to go on maternity leave from 10 July onwards...
 
menses:
I total BF my girl, both day and night and for more than 2 yrs, I got no menses. Once i stopped the night feeds, my menses came back.then I could try planning for no. 2. ha
 
hong
i think i will only wear them at hospital stay and when i sleep in aircon during confinement...otherwise very wasted hor. then thereafter...errr...give to my sis or frens who get preggie. haha

fruitee
jia lat...then must make sure menses come back first.

YT, yeah...less than a month from now! me counting down liao...cannot wait for jun 26 to come!!
 
missmoon
u mean when u went to isetan no more short sleeves meh? hmm..that tiem i went still have leh...i just got it one week b4 u leh..dun tell me all preggie mum went to buy PJs..hehehehe
 
Paranoidmummy,
My doctor also don't measure weight. She say the weight is only an estimation by the machine.... If I ask her, like jazzy's doctor, she'll just estimate and give me a reading.

Li May,
Looks like you'll be the first to pop! Good luck and take care.
 
dsiitan
haha...actually i didn't notice. i just scan the area, saw and zoom in the plain coloured ones and i grab liao... i dun rem seeing the short sleeve version of the plain coloured ones though.
 
Pains:
I've been having this "over-stretched" feeling at the top of the tummy. Felt like the tummy is too heavy to support. Went shopping at Parkway yesterday but had to sit down to rest and relieve the weight a bit after a short while...sigh. Any mummies have the same experience??
 
missmoon
wah..so gan cheong ah...only a few racks mah..so must see see look look..hehe...if not can go somewhere else to see loh...maybe they hv better designs elsewhere...how many u bought? i bought 2...dunno if enuff or not...

poppy
me feels so heavy now even though im only 32 weeks...now sleep also backache often..no matter sides or back...aiyo...worst hor...woke up so many times to go toilet at nites..then hor...here pain there pain...me too mah..walk abit backache liaoi..must sit down to rest..and hor..always wanna go toilet..haiz
 
missmoon, only on weekdays. U gonna go in on 26th June?

Taking leave b4 EDD:-
Any advice when i sd start to take leave? Dowan to sit ard & wait at home.. plus office nearer to hosp. Yet i dun really wanna all of a sudden go off if i am at work.. am in a dilema.
 
jazzy
hmm..maybe u can start telling ur bb to come out during weekends..hehe...not during office hours...it may works..cos my #1 i always tell my boy to come during off peak hrs..and not during weekdays...then i had contractions on a sunday morning (2am)..hahaha..really off peak....
 


poppy, felt tat the tummy, ard the belly button area stretching, a bit pain & uncomfy at times. Last Fri, i went shopping, walked for less than 2hr, then i felt uncomfy, tummy weighing down & pelvic uncomfy. Goto sit down then its ok. Guess i walked too long.
