(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

YB & Gerberra
Me too! Aching back and the sides (waist area). Keep waking up at night also either to pee or wake up for no reasons....sigh.

Eeyore
Can share your massage contact?
 


Hi YB, Gerberra and Poppy,

Me too.. dun sleep well at night.. for no reasons. Why like that huh?


Just wondering if any of you feel tightening of ur tummy sometimes? I have been having this feeling, dunno is it contraction? It doesn;t hurt but just feel tummy becomes tighter and tighter.. then after awhile the feeling is gone already.
 
Hi misaryeo,
Yes, I also start to feeling tightening of my tummy more & more often. Especially when after urinating, my tummy becomes very very tight, that I can hardly stand up from the toilet bowl. Sometimes, when I shift my position or change movement, the tightening will also come.

Hi NOIF,
Thx. I'm in my late 20s & hubby in early 30s. Yah, my tummy looks very compact, cos baby very small mah. Gynae said smaller than normal gestational weight. So now have to eat more protein & rest more.

Hi Poppy,
Yes, I also prefer the lifestyle shots rather than studio style. Seems more like a homey environment. Yes, preferably to take preg pix either at 8th or 9th month when tummy is bigger.
My preg pixs are taken by my ex-wedding photographer. If u r interested to find out more details, I can give u the contact.

Hi Liverpool & Sunshine,
I've emailed u the pixs.
 
Morning ladies !!

YB,
I am from the June MTB... Just read that u hv taken ur preg shots, can u share with me at [email protected] ? Was considering to go for these shots. Thanks.

Hi mums-to-be,

Just would like to share with you guys what I saw last night. It was amazing and yet a little frightening sight. I am at my 30 weeks. Baby movement so visible now. Saw my tummy one side up and one side down, like a `mountain', then baby changes position again and tummy becomes rounded again....

hi july mummies,

have been trying to follow the thread, but manged only on and off.

re: tightening of stomach- not to take too lightly! monitor the no. of times you have them, as it can be contractions.
i also had them but did not pay much attention to them, also saw mountains like ally mummy! so once at my check up, the dr saw and asked how many times it occurs, i said i did not count, probably 2-3 times a day. he say cannot be as during the short while i was there, he can see at least two times already. contractions need not be painful. too many contractions is not good as it may burst water bag causing baby to be prematurely born. if occurs 2-3 times an hour, be to play safe and call clinic to ask.
 
hi hi

long time no post liao, how's everyone... think by now you all counting down... like myself... heee.... okay, with regards to the coconut drink, heard from the elders that it is good for the baby complexion and also help in minimising of the jandice.... don't drink too early though (may be too cold for some mum)... last 1 to 1 and half month before BB graduate from your tummy then start drinking...... tried and tested on babies liao.... another "magic" potion, which I believe many of you have know by now is the red dates tea... good for BB complexion, baby skin smooth smooth, but don't drink too often (can be too heaty for mum).... also tried and tested on many babies.... include 4 of my cousins BB and few more of my close relatives BB.....

Hi ally mummy,
Wah, so amazing...I only see my tummy moving, but never to this extend. Mayb cos my baby is small.

BH contractions:
Oh dear, I think I've been getting the tummy tightening quite frequently nowadays...sometimes more than 3 times an hour. Have to start monitoring closely now...

Hi RT,
Wah, u so lucky to have all your cousins & friends willing to test for you. Hee....hee....

Hi Okipoki, bearbear & MTDT,
I've emailed you the pixs. Do consider going for the shots as it can bring back fond memories for us in future...
 
Good morning !

Any mummy plan to buy (or bought oredi)a changing table? From the parentcraft lesson last week,i learnt from the nurse that it is useful to get 1 table esp for bb bathing time. Height will b more suitable for us as we dun have to bend over at bed for changin of clothes and diapers that eventually lead to back strain...
 
Jurong Gal,
No intension to get a changing table. I find it cant be used for very long. I know Ikea is selling changing mat. May be just have a changing mat and place it on a higher table?

Ally mummy,
i can also see my tummy changing shape. Stime my boy will give me a sudden kick and i can get pretty shock out of it.
 
good morning MTBs

I had some spotting on sat nite and contractions came at 5 min intervals!
I thot i'm in labour, nearly scare to death, but my hubby very relaxed, asked me to go to sleep. Luckily the spotting stopped and contractions no longer at regular intervals. But i do get it very often nowadays, i think i might deliver early.

Just called my gynae, he's equally relaxed. He said: AFTER 2 DAYS U STILL HV NOT DELIVERED, U SHD BE FINE.

But i just can't stop worrying, what if i really go into labour one of these days, my bb will be very small & fragile!
 
hi YB, can share your photo with me too? is it also convenient to share details of your package ie who the photographer is, how much and what does it consist of?

i'm keen to take photos too but there are just so many choices out there... it's a little tough to decide :p
 
Have not been feeling well for few days liao.... bad throat, headache, coughing and sniffing away. Don't feel like taking medicine so never see doctor. I'm afriad that baby will be drowsy if i take cough mixture.
sad.gif


YB,
Can share the cost for the photography?

allymummy,
Wah you can see your tummy change position in week 30?? I'm almost 32weeks but still can't see big movement leh...only tiny bumps when she kicks hard....I think my tummy too thick...heehee

Sleepy Garfield,
That's scary! Premature labour is very worrying. I always pray that I'll have labour only when baby is ready for the outside world....at about full term.

Baby's position:
Anyone's baby's head down already? My doctor commented that my baby is still upright, if by 35 weeks still not down have to opt for c-sect delivery.
 
hello MTBs,
How's everyone?
happy.gif

Had a lazy week last week.. worked only 1/2 day for the whole week. Kinda tired coz cant sleep well at nite.

Lying on the side:-
Ya, am afraid of hurting my bb too when i am lying on my side. Sometimes, i put my hand underneath to "cushion" her when she is kicking. Other days, i juz lie on my back & wait.

It aches at times that i simply cant lie on the sides.
sad.gif


Assembling the cot:-
Have u all bought the bb cots? We ordered 1 & wd be delivered in June. Did u all get the bed assembled or juz leave it unassembled?
 
poppy, i having a running nose.
sad.gif
Cant sleep last nite coz kept sneezing.. end up body aching all over. Din c a doc too, dunno med gd a not for bb. Qte worried whenever i sneezed.

What do u mean is "bb's head down already"?
 
hi poppy
mine too, not yet engage. i heard it's common that bbs will turn head down from week 36? no?

hi jazzyjas
how u feeling? take good care, ya. i had flu some 2 wks ago...took GP's meds only when nec, and doc didn't give me any antibiotics...so those flu meds shld be ok. dun worry lah, bb stronger in tummy at this time liao
happy.gif


me too, any side i lie these days, get quite uncomfortable...dunno why. quite miserable...cannot get quality sleep. how to last till 38 weeks?
sad.gif
 
missmoon, better today. Bt still sneezing. When i sneezed hard, i got worried. Coz kinda painz, bt dunno how bb is taking it.
How r u?
happy.gif

Have u bought bb's cot?

I understand how it felt.. at times i juz fall asleep waiting.
 
Poppy, Jazzy, Missmoon,

Why not taking medicine when u are sick? My logic is if mother not feeling well, i dun think baby will too. GP or gynae can always prescribe medicine that is suitable for preggie?

Sleepy Garfield,
WOW so early. Gynae didnt do anything abt it? Ur gynae and hubby really cool!
 
YB,
Thanks for sharing the pics.. Hmmm both of u look very young huh & the pics are well taken. I agreed that ur tummy looks very compact leh... Will discuss with hubby to hv these shots taken
happy.gif
 
jazzyjas
good to know u feeling better liao
happy.gif
i'm inheriting my sister's bb cot, so no nd to get it
happy.gif


hong
i did take some lor but i took lots of vit c to help body fight it. also, i was apprehensive taking so much of doc's prescribed meds cos he told me while it is presumed generally safe to consume but there's no proven record that it's 100% safe for bb.
 
hong, now its not me alone taking the medicine so unless nec, i wd prefer not to take medicine. Today better already, tmwr if still like tis then wd c a doc.

missmoon, ur Vit C is doc prescribed? Used to take the brand Rexxxx, forgot the name.. the tablet dissolves in the water. Stopped taking after preg.
Oic.. coz thking sd postpone the cot delivery til later date a not.
 
Hi Poppy,

my bb is head down when i went for rountine check up last sat at week 32, but not yet engaged.bb weighs 2 kg now, how abt urs ?

Hi mummies,
anyone started to feel MS again ? kinda feel nauseous at times nowadays though its' not as bad as 1st tri. Last mebbe a few hours then go away by itself..really xin ku esp at work....
 
Missmoon, jazzy,
I took 2 courses of anti-botic cos I really cannot take it. my coughing cos me to have urine leakage.

my 1st gynae ever told me. If I need to show him all the medi the GP gave me then dun go and see him. I must learn to trust the doctor i went.

My current gynae, I still show him some medi that my GP gave me. Of course i visited my regular GP and he even show me a book tat show whether the medi is ok for pregnant lady.

Of course, i wanted to protect my baby from all the "harmful" medi but if i fall sick i dun think my baby will feel gd. My mood, my sleep affected, so is my baby.

if small case become serious then doctor will have to give a heavier dosage. It may turn out worse.
 
Hi Poppy,
My baby's head is down since week 27, I am now in week 31. Sometimes, I can feel the urge to pee when I am walking as the baby's head is pressing down on my bladder.

Hi YB,
Can send me your pics to [email protected]. I also interested.

Hi missmoon, Jazzyjas,
i also leh, lie on left and right side also get aches here and there. Cannot sleep properly, don't know how to tahan till delivery.
 
hong, u r right. Wd c a doc if still dun feel gd.

jurong gal, felt nauseous now. Juz vomitted some orange juice.
sad.gif


jas, my bb's head oso down since last visit. This week bb wd be 31weeks. Bt i rem my gynae tol me position not confirmed yet. Ya, at times have the urge to pee bt went loo not much.
 
jazzyjas
i think most will advise to get bb's stuff ready before bb comes? not sure ley...some say cannot assemble things in the house, so depends on your own comfort level wif such things. do u need cot in the beginning? is ur mom doing ur confinement? in any case, best to get everything ready before ur energy completely zapped out prior to delivery. the doc advised vit c in those capsule form, dun take drink or suck type cos no good for a sorethroat.

thinking abt that, still got lots of things to wash and prepare before the BIG day.

hong, true...better to get better in a jiffy than let it drag out.

jasline, cham hor...my sister told me a month before her delivery, she was half inclined all the time. sounds uncomfortable as it is!
 
jazzyjas,

I've bot the bb cot and it will be delivered and assembled this sat.. what i heard is when assemle the cot it is better that we leave the house and return only when the assembling is done.

I agree with missmoon, should get all the nec things ready as early as possible. we never know when we will pop
happy.gif
 
Cham la..
My boy's clothing havent wash, my diaper bag havent pack.. Cupboard not here yet... *Pulling my hair liao*
 
Missmoon,
Not engaged but turn head down only. The head will only engage later.

Hong,
I also prefer not to take any medicine unless I really need it. I'll see how it goes, the throat is better liao, it's just the cough and the sniffing.

JurongGal,
My baby is 1.88kg at 31 weeks.

Jazzyjas,
Same here, always have the urge to pee, but nothing much come out. I told my hubby I ren for a while before going...more fruitful...hehehe. He scolded me saying he read that it may cause UTI if ren too much.
 
Fruitee,
Don't be too kanchiong...I also haven't wash yet. The clothes like collecting dust if wash too early leh. I also haven't pack the stuff in the drawers yet. :p

Breast pump:
I just bought the Avent Isis IQ Uno breast pump.
happy.gif
 
Hi Sleepy Garfield,
so scary. If I were you, will monitor carefully. Don't over exert and lie down more. Take Care.
 
Poppy
Yesterday I just bought some ziplog bags.. big ones... so was thinking after washing rite can put it inside the bags so wont have dust..
 
poppy,

Where did u get the Avent Isis Uno breast pump? Issit still selling at $279? any free gift come along?

Me considering getting it from parentcraft centre at TMC, VIA cup and washable breastpad will be given as free gift.. selling at $279 if not wrong.. but Mrs Wong said better wait until give birth then decide whether there's a need to get.. hesitating lor..

Fruitee,
Good idea leh.. keep the clean clothes in ziplog bags.. next time when used can reserved and keep those soiled cloths or nappies in the bag if go shopping travel outside.. won't waste the bag too..
 
Joline
Ya loh... I also never think of that... my hb tot of it one.. he said since the cupboard not here yet.. things can be packed into the ziplog bags bit by bit.. clean & convenient too I guess
 
Hi jurong gal,
I'm using my existing build-in study table as a changing table. Dun wanna spend $$ to buy a changing table which can only last a few mths till baby is too big.

Hi Sleepy Garfield,
Oh dear!! It's good to monitor ur contractions very closely now. If ur contractions doesn't become more & more freq, think it should be fine. But u should still let ur doc check you since u have spotting. Wat did ur doc says? Do take care...

Contractions:
I also feel menses cramps in my lower abdominal other than tightening of tummy...Hmm, perhaps it's also part of BH?

Baby's position:
During routine checkup at 29wks, my baby already head down. But since still got ample space in the womb, the baby might turn upright again...

Hi brambles & Poppy,
My preg pix was done complimentary by my ex-wedding photographer cos we're friends. He's name is Hilarion Goh & he's a very nice & humble guy.
I have about more than 30plus pixs in 1 photography session. Because it's FOC, I did my own makeup & hair.
I'm not sure how much he charge for a package though...if u r interested, u may wish to contact him at [email protected].
He has a thread in Singaporebrides.com Forum. You may wish to read up on him 1st?
Take your time to decide, but preferably must be comfortable with the photographer cos will be baring the tummy...:p

Hi jazzyjas,
My GP & Gynae said Panadols are alright to take during pregnancy.

Storing of baby's clothes:
Another idea to store baby's clothes before the cupboard arrives is to put them in plastic container (those big big Toyogo ones) after washing. Saw my friend did that, it's not messy at all & very organised.
 
Ladies,

Need to go for prenatal massage, asap.
Know of anywhere I can go to? May be going tomorrow cos my body can't take it anymore
sad.gif
 
Hi There, All Mummies

Went for my check up last week, at 32 wks, boy boy weighing @ 2.2 kg, gynae says average only.
Hence, hubby as been forcing me to eat durians and beef coz I did it to my other 2 elder gals to let them gain weight.

Went to the Avent Open House..Anyone went too?
My hubby bought me the AVENT DUO Pump as a Mother Day's present for me.

The idea of storing clothes in TOYOGO multi drawer ones is a gd idea, I did that for both my gals, did some labelling, so every1 knows where to get their stuff.
 
missmoon, actually i juz bought bb's clothes & thgs in May. My mum washed bb's clothes, nappies etc over the weekend for us already.
happy.gif
So now most of the clothes r clean & packed in the
cabinet.
Hengz.. coz after tat weekend, hb has been working over weekends or overseas.
Have u gone for the GlenE maternity tour? I still finding a time to go leh.

poppy, i agree wif ur hb.. dun "ren", not gd for us. These 2 nites, no urgency to pee bt wd wake up automatically to go loo. Then as tho' "ren" for a long time those kind altho i dun felt it.
Btw, have u checked wif ur gynae for bb's throbbing? Me only going this Fri.

joline, so u wd go out b4 the cot arrived? Dunno go where leh.. hb goto stay behind & look over thgs. Have tol hb to postpone the delivery til mid june bt thk he not yet call.
Regd the breastpump, i heard Mdm Wong said dun buy too early oso. Am kinda keen to buy those body foam & moisturisers tho'.

YB, nowadays when i felt my upper tummy tightens, i dunno isit bb or contractions either. Its like the tummy tightened, then "pointed".

Bb bathing:-
What brand of shower foam & mosituriser r u all getting for ur bb?
 
jazzyjas
not yet ley...hb chasing me to do it liao. heee, like u, finding the time to go...hey, u know abt the citibank promotion for the hospital package or not?

i got the a bottle of avent shampoo and bath during the taka fair...dunno good or not though
 
missmoon, at first we dun plan to go anymore. Last Sat went TMC prenatal class have maternity tour. After going, thot perhaps better for us to go & c c look look.
Ya i know. U can actually get the promo form from the hosp reception. Btw, u know single bedded has deluxe & non-deluxe?

Planning to get the Avent ones for bb & myself. Hee..
happy.gif
 
jazzyjas
i dunno abt deluxe or non-deluxe ley. wat's the diff har? is ur hb going to stay over wif u? i guess i will arrange for that tour thingy early june, i think.
 
missmoon, i only know yest from a GlenE thread in the forum coz they were talking abt it. Thk 1 difference is tat lodger dun have to pay for the deluxe. Ya, hb planning to stay over wif me.
 


Hi gals..
how's everyone out there? hope all has been well.. it's been really long since i visited the thread.. sooooo tired and busy..

Hi YB,
