hi eeyore,
Perhaps you can call this no and ask her to describe to you. 65323855. Its very near OG@ people's park. Blk 34 #03-132 upp cross st.
But she only has the pic. Its call woodcraft denmark . I have seen this cot at my friend's place and was recommended by my friend to buy it from them cos their price is always lower. you might want to check it out from this thread.

Umm i am not their staff and doesnt earn commission just a mum to be staying at home and hope to get baby stuff at lower price. hee :>
 


no lah hee me just in case mah cos i had arranged for bulk purchase for jane high previously and now baby cot and might also be arranging for maclaren stroller so might cause misunderstanding. Thats why.

Yap of course do drop by and see. Its a small shop thou their big items mostly have to see catalogue only.thats the minus point
 
Hi all,
Been feeling a little blue. Last visit to doctor few days back says baby's weight is only 680g. Is it considered v low?
He says baby is small even though I'm in my 26wk.Ask me to better rest more and gave me ventolin to ease my persistent frequent tightening of uterus. Ventolin is supposed to help relax the uterus walls and blood vessels and bring more oxygen flow to bb, encouraging growth. From the last 3D scan at wk 22, bb looked chubby. Last 3D scan, bb lost all the fats and face is lean and sharp.....So worrying.
 
hong,
I ate normally. already put on abt 6kg liow since pre-preg.
Durian.No craving for it tho i love it.....maybe should try.
 
Hi kin,
Try to eat more & rest more. Heard eating durians & black chicken soup can help increase baby's weight.

R u also a low birth-weight baby too? Usually, our baby will more or less following the parents weight closely cos of the genes.

I used to be a low-birth weight baby. I only weigh 2.18kg when I was born. Guess tat's y my baby is also now small.
 
hi kin, dun worry too much. U wd be fine. Juz eat more, rest more & bb sd be ok.

Btw, how "contracting" felt? At times, i felt some tightening bt not sure sure isit contracting.

MTBS,
May i know after inserting the tablet into the vagi, wat happens? As in the tablet wd dissolve etc? Tol gynae abt the yellow dischrg, requested a v swab & given these tablets. Never use b4 so i am unsure. Can somebody advise? Thanks!
 
Hi Jazzyjas,
Last time my GP tells me to insert at night before sleep, so that the tablet won't drop out. And by next morning, the tablet dissolved, and before I urine, water flow out (i guess this is the dissolved tablet). After this, you will still see the yellow discharge, but will reduce in the next few days.
 
Good Morning~

Tracy, Joline
Thanks for the compliments.

Kin,
At least u know ur baby weights. I was wondering how heavy is my baby now?? KK dont check on the baby weights during the check up. Only check on the heartbeat and baby position.

Anyway, still got few more months to go. U just eat and rest well. I'm sure your baby can increase more weights.
 
Jazzyjas,
Think the tightening u felt is braxton hicks. Contraction actually feel like having menses cramp.
 
YB,
My no. 1 is considered a big baby at 3.3kg. I actually had the same problem too.Now, it is the same. Harder to rest well as no. 1 is a v active girl who demands lotsa attn.like what you say, eat more.. ha ha....
Jazzyjaz,
My tightening of the uterus is the so-called contracting. If you have it too often, say regularly at every hour( a few times) then it is time to see doc. That is what happened to me, called pre-term labour. Which is no good. If not, resting on your left side, or drinking water may help. Actually, less stress and more rest is best. that is what I'm trying to have.
 
Fruitee,

Uterus practicing for delivery with irregular, painless contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions. You may feel a squeezing sensation in your abdomen. Don't worry, though: Your baby may be able to feel the contraction as it squeezes the uterus, but Braxton Hicks contractions aren't dangerous or harmful. If, however, the contractions become more intense, painful, or frequent, contact your health care provider immediately because painful, regular contractions may be a sign of preterm labor.
 
jasline, ya, gynae tol me to insert at night b4 sleeping. Ok.. coz 1st 2 nites, i saw "white dissolved substance" on the pantiliner, guess din insert totally in. Last nite, inserted right in & its "slightly whitish" in the urine. Nurse said wd have dischrg. So wd have "more dischrg" these few days?
Asking coz i not sure if this the correct way it sd be. Thanks.

Noif, i dunno bb weight oso.
Ya, felt like cramp, lasts a while, ard the abdominal.

Fruitee, in case has infection loh. Coz tol him i want to do a v swab.
I still have not call TMC to book the prenatal class leh..

kin, i feel it on n off, sometimes longer.
 
Kin
Eat more!!

Jazzy,
For contractions, the tummy will tighten for a short while then relax and then tighten again and relax and so on. Like what Noif say, braxton-hicks contractions are painless but it's uncomfortable. Mine was like super tight and never relax.....so a bit strange.

I've used the tablets before last time b/4 preganancy. After inserting, the tablets dissolves and the discharge becomes more watery and clears after a few days. So remember to use liners

Kin & Noif,
My doc also never check baby's weight...so I don't even know if baby is big or small.
 
MTBs,
Anyone did the Glucose tolerance test? I just did mine yesterday...have to fast for 8 hours then take blood and urine samples at 1-hour intervals for 3 times. So thirsty and hungry after that!!
 
Poppy, wd u actually see the "dissolved substance" on the pantiliner or juz dischrg? B4 preg, have dischrg sometimes so i am used to putting pantiliners daily.

I have not done mine yet, guess wd be the next apptm on week 27. Bt the clinic din mention anythg, coz if nid to take 1-hr intervals for 3x, then i goto go in the morning rite?
 
hi poppy
i did that at around wk 20+ after a routine urine test came back wif sugar level high.

thankfully gynae cleared me of GD...just that during pg, body cannot tolerate glucose so comes out in urine. ya, very hungry and thirsty after that. and the orange flavoured drink tasted gross!!
 
Kin
dun worry too much cos this is still an early stage for baby.. sometimes the baby might suddenly put on a lot of weight at the end of our pregnancy..

for me its the total opposite.. my bb is on the heavy side.. its already weighing 852g at 24wks!!!
had a shock of my life!! was really scared it'll be overweight.. but my gynae assured me that it's still early so bb might settle down later so told me not to be worried..

poppy, missmoon
i was tested positive for sugar level in my urine too.. but i did a blood test instead..
thankfully i got cleared too..
 
Eeh, i was given antibodtic pills to eat instead of pill to insert leh ?? Anybody give oral medi to clear infection?
 
I also tested positive for sugar level. TMC nurse very nice, after that she will do a simple sugar test by taking a little bloood from my finger. Still within the Ok range, she said i must have just eaten so sugar level is a bit high.

I'm not sure is this true but my sugar level is high when i am pregnant with boy. During my girl time, i am ok thru-out.

Zita,
some antibotics is ok for pregnant lady dun worry so much ok.

As for the pill for insertion. I also have 1 from gynae but he told me unless it is unbearable for me else no need to do it. Ask me to store in the fridge 1st , it will turn hard and easlier to insert. Do it before bedtime so the pill take time to dissolve.
 
hi jazzyjas
ya lor...hang ard an hour, go back into lab to test urine and draw blood... now i learn the trick...dun drink anything sweet before gynae appt. haha

hi tracy
relieved to be in the clear hor...had me worried for a while.
 
Hi NOIF,
I do have menses cramps a few times last week. Thought it's just normal uterus expanding. I can even feel the cramp in my cervix.

Does it mean that I'm having contractions?
 
missmoon, bt the clinic wd inform u prior to the apptm tat they wd be doing tis so u can fast like Poppy said rite? They din mention anythg to me so i thot juz a regular apptm.

hong, so did the gynae mention wat happens after the pill dissolve?
 
ya, my test was done at the parkway lab, so it was booked by the clinic. told me in advance that i have to fast, go there and draw first blood/urine sample, then drink that gross tasting sweet drink, wait an hour before drawing second blood/urine sample. in all, drew 4 times of blood/urine.
 
Can you mtbs sleep at nite? My baby seems more active at night, besides I keep having to go to
toilet too.

I'm also hungrier at nite..like vampire:p
 
YB,
Think u better check with your gynae for the next visit.

The gynae will use the sophisticated electric equipment to check on the contractions.
 
nurbates
i cannot sleep very well at nite, cannot find comfortable position to sleep in, bb protest by moving abt, i think...then will wake up at least 2 times to go toilet.

i hv very good appetite, i think. after dinner, still thinking of wat else to eat. if this goes on, will be pui pui and roll ard like a ball liao.
 
Hi All,
Other than the supplements that gynae prescribed, do u also take additional supplements? i.e. multivits??

Will there be overdose?
 
Hi nurbates,
Yes...my baby is more active at nights.. However at times, he's more quiet. I read that baby is developing their own sleeping patterns now. And when baby is born, then tend to follow back the sleeping patterns. If we monitor closely, next time we can take care of baby easier.
 
Hi ladies,

Ya, i feel very greedy at nite these days. However, the other day, i ate some snacks (salt and vinegar chips and Tau Sar Pia) and had really bad cramps at nite. I think it was indigestion and felt like gastric pains. I nearly had to go to the hospital! So better watch what we eat ok esp at nite.
 
missmoon, so how long u spend there on tat visit?
wd it be advisable to go in the morning u thk?

At times, i wanna eat more.. bt i juz cant, coz felt bloated if i eat too much. The other day dinner ate slightly more, i have to walk ard the house coz i cant sit.
Put on ard 1kg every 2 weeks i noticed. Wat abt u?

nurbates, it usually take a while for me coz cant find the "right postion" to sleep. Find that bb wd wriggle abt when i lie on 1 side. Woke up to go pee everynite, at least once.
I rem one time after we have slept (middle of the nite), my tummy "growled" & hb asked "u r hungry?" Ha!!
happy.gif


YB, not taking other supplements, except gynae gv ones (iron & calcium).
 
May,
could due to ur indigestion.

YB,
I also into supper now. I cant sleep with hungry stomach and my boy keeps turning and toss and boxing me.

If u monitor ur baby and it was very active at nite meaning the baby will stay awake in the nite and sleep in the day?

i believe we can set routine for them. Is will be gd to tune the baby routine in the earlier stage.
 
A colli mentioned that if we play the same music every night when we want to sleep, bb wd follow this routine after delivered. Said her boy quiets down & sleep when heard it.
 
Hi hong,

Ya, I find that I tend to eat more as the day progresses...especially supper. Sometimes, my baby will wake me up with all the kicking & I have to find myself food, even though I want to sleep. But then, after eating supper, will feel too bloated to sleep well.

How do we set routine for baby before they r born?

Hi jazzyjas,
I play classical music everynight during bedtime. I'll alternate the CDs every week since I have about 5 different CDs. Yes, I also believe it'll help baby to quiet down after there r born. I've seen it happened to my nephew & niece...
 
YB,
Yup! Tried it when gave birth to my daughter lo. heehee! Dont worry! Not pain one!

If I did not remember wrongly, they place the instrument on my stomach at regular intervals throughout labour to listen to the baby's heartbeat. The midwife told us this is a way to recording the baby's heartbeat and to measure my contractions using sophisticated electronic equipment. We saw the result appeared on a paper printed-out attached to the monitor.
 
YB, scary hor, feel like a greedy pig. but i guess we just have to watch wat we eat lah...sometimes want to eat something sinful though...haha

jazz, i took 1-day leave to do it, cos nurses already warned me it'll take half a day to complete the GTT. i know wat u mean abt bloatedness...esp afternoon onwards...by dinner time already quite bloated but i still wanna eat ley. just that after that suffer fr breathlessness. ya, put on 1kg every fortnight on average.
 
Hi Kin,
I heard that Ventolin will cause heart palpitation. Did you experience that? I took once on my 24th week and my heart was pounding so fast !!! Stop taking the pill after that.

Hi Poppy,
My gynae never mentioned about Glucose tolerance test. Usually done at week what?
 
Hi NOIF,
Thx. I'll let my doc know next week at the next visit. Will see wat he says...Been feeling the cramps quite frequently...sometimes it really hurts. My mood hasn't been very good cos of the uncomfortableness..

Hi missmoon,
Ya..I'm so amazed/scared of the rate tat I'm eating. I also put on about 1kg once every 2-weeks on avg....
 
hi Lala,
Actually,side effects include heart palpitations and trembling of hands. For me, so far ok. I've no choice but to take becoz once I stop, the contractions come v strongly and painfully too.
I've no choice. also it relaxes the bloood vessels and uterus and helps to bring oxygen to growth. My first bb had history of high blood presssure in the 20 plus wk onwards.So in view of all these complications, I rather suffer side effects than risk bb's growth. Actually, my bb is not small size. It was a big size wt at wk 22 but at wk 26, wt became that ofsmall bb. So, it means that the growth is affect. So no choice. You take care

YB,
you should check with the doc abt your cramps if it is too frequent. Sometimes, being too active or staying too long in one position can cause it too. So remember to rest and take breaks
 
YB, me too! very apprehensive abt the weight gain but my gynae didn't seem concerned wif my weight gain...so i think should still be within the normal range. the nurses tell me that during this time from 2nd tri to mid of 3rd tri will hv rapid weight gain cos bb putting on fats under their skin. by late 3rd tri shld slow down and not gain so much.
