hong, does ur throbbing felt like "heartbeat"? If its hiccups like my nurse says, can continue so many times (eg. 30x++) at 1 go??
Ya.. kip telling myself that its a phase to go thru' in preg. Bt sometimes juz get too overwhelmed by all these feelings.
hong & fruitee, thanks for being a "listening ear" today.
Felt better after talking abt it.
fruitee, its lonely going alone.. 2 girls in my class went alone. If hb din go, i dun thk i wanna go too. Esp when u nid to do the exercises, 2 pax is better.
Baby playpen:-
Not yet buy bed, so dunno getting playpen a not.
Meeting up:-
Fine for me bt pref after EDD. Wd like to kip in contact wif u all.

Sigh, this morning I think I bend down too quickly, felt a sharp pain in the pubic area. Dare not tell hubby, later kenna scolding again.
Fruitee,
The massage quite ex, almost $80 per session.
Jazzy,
Relax. I have been feeling the throbbing too! sometimes can last over 30 mins. I talk to baby and tell her that I feel uncomfortable, then stroke tummy a bit and then it'll go off after a while.
The other thing I do is keep changing position...then it'll stop.
I guess I'm slightly more lucky, I won't need to work until after maternity leave. On long leave due to medical reasons

Mummies,
I saw this massage thread, maybe can check it out!
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/36738/107155.html....
I cut out one of the posting on her pricing below:
The package 5days = $300 , 7days = $400 and 10days = $570 and all package is inclusives of massage oil, application of herbs and a traditional binder. Postnatal massage is not totally for you to be slim but the most important to get rid of the winds, to clears the lochia (clotted blood that left inside which it can be as big as a squash ball) and to help you to be well enough if you've ache and tight muscles . At least the pain could be reduce after the massage as as I've advice my clients to relax during confinement and massage time is the best time to relax. I do hope you could understand with my explanation. Do feel free to email at [email protected] or sms me for any others info.

MTDT,
I also hope my boy will hit 2kg when i see my gynae in a week time.
Jazzy,
Every pregnancy is different. I understand when u say the throbbing feeling. My boy dun really hiccup that much but when i have my daughter i also have this feeling and pretty strong. When she was borned she got hiccup very easily. funi right!
Contraction is not like that so dun worry too much. very hard for me to describe here. The pain will last a while and for me the pain will start from front and move to my back. It is a moment of pain and then a moment of relief then the pain come back again.
Playpen,
I was thinking of getting one. dun know can fit into my bedroom. My king size bed in the mid of my room, one side is a a sofa bed for my daughter, dun know the other side still can fit into the playpen or not.
So mummy let have a show of NAMEs for the meet up. Is end May ok for everyone?
Say may be 29 May.
Jul MTB meet up on 29 May

millie,
u may want to check out this website for your baby's weight and femur length, etc. Not to worry, looks like your baby's growth is right on track! http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/patient/ultrasound/obtimeline_new.html
fruitee,
I know how u feel about attending antenatal classes alone. I skiped my first antenatal class 'cos hubby was not free to attend. During my previous class, one MTB brought either her sis or friend along as her hubby wasn't free.
Regarding playpen, maybe I'll get one for my mum's place but not for my own house as I feel that the cot should be sufficient.

MTDT>> It is printed in recently Wan Bao/Sin Min .
The baby is too big size for the mother. The Mother cannot walk for 8 mth and cannot carry baby. Worst cannot conceive already. Lucky her first child a boy...
YB>> my mother tell me no need to hurry in buy baby stuff .. still early to her.

YB, think it's the same pantang rule for those old school of thought ppllah, cannot buy baby stuff so soon, some even say until the mtb given birth.
Lucky my mum quite liberal, in fact she was the one more excited abt buying baby stuff when I first got pregnant wif my elder child.
7 mths ok for you YB to buy clothes? 3rd trimester alreadi right?

Hi Japepearl,
During my last gynae visit, she also did not check my baby weight. She said it's not necessary to do it now cos may not be accurate. I'll only know it in my next detailed scan at 32 weeks.
So far, I've gained 7kg. Trying to keep it to 10 kg till delivery cos I'm already plump before pregnancy. Hee.....
Btw, when can we start on the post-natal massage?

Indo maid:-

Poppy, my mine is continuously for a few mins.. the last i counted can be ard 30++ times. Isit always at the same place? Mine is usually on the left abs. Perhaps u wanna chk wif the clinic?

Isit common 2 go for the 8th month detailed scan? I wd be seeing him on the 31week.

I think if ur gynae measure & check the baby tummy head etc they machine will show the estimated weight of the baby.
May,
u can start the masssage immediately after ur labour if u are not going thru c-section but can always ask ur gynae for advices. Some gynae do not really agree on post-natal massage. I have no idea why.
I gain abt 5kg, i was plump before pregnancy too.
Japepearl,
Ur detailed scan is in 3D? If so may be ur gynae is giving u a 3D scan to see the baby face. Heard 3D scan take longer, he may have classified it as detailed scan.

Hi Fruitee,
Does TMC give u back the refund if when u cancelled ur class?
Hi MTDT,
Wah, ur baby has grown so fast. *Envy* I'll be seeing my gynae next week at 31weeks. Hopefully my gal has also grown well.
Baby's Weight,
I think the gynae in news is simply to bo chap. If baby really so big, y did he insist on going for natural birth?
Sandy,
It's actually up to u on when u wanna buy ur baby stuff. Just pointing out that at later stage, we'll be too heavy to shop around all day. Unless u just buy without comparing prices, then u can buy everything at 1 go in a shop.
Hi Nurbates,
I'm not really a pantang person. I actually started shopping when I was in my 5th mths. Cos most of the time I'll shop around alone & compare the prices 1st before dragging my hubby to make purchase. I find it's more convenient then cos I'm lighter. I didn't buy much baby clothes cos I have a lot of hand-downs from my sis.

Japepearl,
My doc also don't measure baby's weight. She just say it's the right size whenever I ask.
May,
Lisa told you about the detailed scan already?? She never mention to me leh. I'm seeing her next week and it'll be week 31.
Jazzy,
Mine is usually a the bottom of the pelvis. I'll check with the doctor when I see her next week.
Hong and May,
You gals gained so little. I'm really big before pregnancy and now already gained almost 10kg liao.
Baby's weight

I think is up to the doctor to assess if the pelvic is big enough to deliver the baby naturally.
Tracy,
My friend got back her before pregnancy weight within a month....she gained like 22kg. She said it's the post-natal massage and breastfeeding. I think I'll use her massage lady

hi sunshine
thanks for the link. it's exactly what i was looking for. glad bb is growing well.
MTDT,
WOW!! 2.2kg at 30 weeks is hugh!! but doc did mention growth spurt very unpredictable, some bb growth will be faster in the beginning then slow down afterwards and visa versa.
re: c-sec
my friend also had a 3.7kg bb and was told by her doc to try natural but after almost 24hrs labour, had to do emergency c-sec. she said wished doc had adviced her c-sec in the first place to save her the truama and $$$.

Fruitee,
Yah is up to the gynae. For me i dun even know my girl weight at the last few weeks. Everytime i ask the gynae told me in gd weight & weight not impt.
Nobody knows i am carrying a 4kg baby. My gynae very confident and i only know i have a big baby when the nurse said told us after she was out.
Both of us are shocked and my girl was really chubby and she was very easy to carry.
For my boy, i hope he can be at least 3.5kg

Hi Hong,
Wah, u managed to give birth to a 4kg baby naturally? Is it painful? I thought normally if baby is more than 3.5kg, gynae would prefer to go for c-section?
Weight Gain:
I've also gained 10kg so far. Not much appetite since 3rd trimester.

when i had my checkup @ wk 28, found out that i haven't gained any weight since wk 26. cause for concern?
i heard that eating liang stuff from middle of 3rd tri will help wif labour, and also bb won't be heaty. wonder if that's true? these days, i dun hv much appetite also, sometimes even feel nauseous. weird!
