Hi missmoon,
me also have no mood to work ... hope to go for maternity leave soon... kekekke
Hi Hong,
I also have another sleepless nite yesterday. Somehow so difficult to find the right position to fall asleep. Really a headache when comes to bedtime.
Hi MTBs,
I still feel quite a lot of my baby's movements leh. Her head was down when at 31 weeks, hopefully she will stay the same throughout. I heard from a friend that once baby's head is down at wk 32, his/her head will not turn back up again ... wonder is it true.
Fell so breathless daily.
Btw, can tell me what to pack for hosiptal stay again ?? Me will be delivering in TMC.
me also have no mood to work ... hope to go for maternity leave soon... kekekke

ya, planning to go for the tour but when...dunno yet. heh... i guess the nurses take care of babies day in day out, so very routine and normal to them. when i see them handle my nephew that time, i was so afraid cos newborns very fragile looking lo.
ya...now, seems like waiting for the BIG day to come and yet each day passes so slowly. today, my boyboy very quiet from morning until just after lunch... now moving arms and legs after lunch, poking me until quite uncomfortable.
lala, fruitee, most ideal lor, no nd to work...but then we'll be bored within the day. haha
NOIF, ya, only for c-sect. dun worry
i dun fancy pork and fish much but neh mind lah, temporary only.

Fruitee,
I feel so tired too but no point staying at home alone unless u still have lot to pack.
Ur boy got into "mood" so early! hahaha.. Mine is practising for tonite again.
Lala,
May be u go to TMC website to see if they have a list of wat u need to pack. If i am not wrong TMC is giving a new blanket, a new suit for the new born to wear home. So u only need to pack stuffs for urself.
Jazz,
may be ur girl will join my boy for disco tonite.. hahhaa..

Hi missmoon,
No prob. U can ask ur hubby to alternate between using fingertips, palms or fists to gently massage u down ur back with upward strokes.
Hi Angeline,
I heard even though we opt for 1-bedder, our hubby cannot bunk in wif us unless we pay an additional daily rate tat incl meals..I felt it's not worth it, so I rather opt for 2-bedder. I have no choice cos my gynae only deliver in Mt E.
Hi Hong,
Thx for ur advise. Btw, how much was ur hospital bill when u delivered in Mt E? How much cash do you need to fock out?
Leg Cramps,
Hi mummies, u may wish to prop up your legs on pillows when you sleep at night...it can prevent leg cramps...

YB,
Mine was 2 yr ago bill. Dun know useful to u.
When we got the bill, we are blurred. dun know how to read it at all. All i know, everything i used was charged!
I rbr i paid $500 cash to my gynae clinic upfront. After i delivered, my bill came up that i need to pay $700++ in cash.
My gynae delivery fee was $1K cos is epidual + assisted birth. I used my CPF for my own bill and my hubby use his to pay for the baby.
Mt E 2 bedded is quite gd. i never like to be alone in the ward. hahhaa.. gd to have a coy beside me althot i may not be talking to my bed mate.
Fruitee,
Still got time to clean and wash the baby stuff. Dun kam cheong. U got a list of things to get? I keep forgetting that i need to get somemore stuffs. I wanna get a baby sleeping bag and NB diaper. Waiting for the motherhood fair end of the month.

Hong,
My baby also still breech during the last check up. Hopefully she turns head down by next appt.
Missmoon, Hong and NOIF,
What I heard it's no chicken for first 10 days regardless of whether it's c-sect or natural???
Jazzyjas & Missmoon,
I also dun like to be alone in the hospital, want hubby to be around so chose the 1-Bedder with lodger also
The hospital is really old, so the rooms are also not that new lor.
I dun remember seeing the nurses handling the babies during the tour...hmmmm but I think they are too experienced that's why...to us it's rough but to them it's an everyday affair.
Jazzyjas,
I still get the throbbing and I suspect it's just her hiccups, so doesn't bother me as much now.
I never count the kicks, for me, as long as I feel baby move most of the time, I'm happy
Sandy,
I can't even find a position that I can stay in for a longer time! Can sit cross-legged but only for a short while. Most of the time is legs open big big hahaha....

Hi Hong,

Hi SandyKerk,
I also feel uncomfy crossing legs.
Hi Missmoon,
Going to work for heavily pregnant women are so tiring, I would rather be bored at home than to work leh
Hi YB,
I feel uncomfy popping up pillows for my legs. Already sooooo hard to find a position to fall asleep, with the extra pillow, feel even worse.

Missmoon,
I'm also not sure, that's what I heard. Probably it because natural birth may have episiotomy or tear?? also got wound so cannot eat chicken? The problem is that those giving advice only tell you this cannot, that cannot, but when you ask why, they cannot explain.
Jazzyjas,
The tour includes the nursery but only look from the outside. You going for the tour soon? They provide some snacks during the Q&A.
Feeling so tired like all of you!! I wonder if I can tahan the walk during the Motherhood fair....can feel the weight bearing down....sometimes baby press on my bladder...aiyoh...must quickly go find toilet to relieve myself and usually there is only little urine...sigh.

Hi Jazzyjas,
It's good to monitor how the CL bathe & take care of baby 1st. Then we can slowly let the CL know if we feel more comfortable with our own methods.
Actually I read from the books that hiccups do not affect baby as much as it does to adults.
I guess Glen E & Mt E is from same Parkway Group, that's y both also charge lodger rate.
Hi Hong,
Thx. Guess it'll be a bit more ex now since gynae & hospital charges have increased. Does Mt E provide any free gifts? Do we need to bring diapers for the baby or is it provided by the hospital? How about maternity pads? Sorry for asking so many questions..hee..hee...

Hi mummies,
abt eating chicken....well the most acceptable reason abt not eating chicken after any op is almost the same when you get a bad pheglemy cough, you avoid chicken meat. becoz it causes more built-up of pheglem from the infection. So if you have an operation of any kind, usu western docs give antibiotics to avoid infection while chinese doc will ask you to avoid chicken for the same reason. Don't know why. There must be some component in the chicken meat that increases tendancy of infection. So far my family, family in law have the same experience abt the eating chicken meat during while sick.Maybe it is also "cooling"- not sure abt this. But just sharing my 2 cents worth. in anyway, if I were to eat chicken after the one wk abstinence, I'll go with kampong chicken.

Hi MTBs,
Went for my 32-week detailed scan today and baby weighs 1.5 kg. Comparing with some of u, I think my baby girl is probably on the skinny side. Probably 6-8 more weeks to go and I wonder if her weight can double to 3kg by then. So sad..
By the way, I still can't find the stick-on maternity pad that comes with wings. Someone mentiond it's available at cold storage but dun have leh.....I need those with wings in case of leakage by the side.
Any one of u bought disposable panties? I bought those from Sorella but find the material not very gd. Any recommendation?
Have a good healthy week ahead as we start counting down!

Hong, is it cheaper that both you and spouse pay differently for the hospital bill or the same? Do you actually have a breakdown?
Before I was posting this msg, I was having contractions for the past 1 hr till I call my gynae, and once my gynae requested me to be admitted, the pain suddenly stopped. My hubby was commenting that my boy is defintely afraid of my gynae.....

Hi All,
It's been a while since i last posted, I also had my 32 weeks detail scan last week, baby weight 2.3kg, gynea said she got big head, genes from my husband.haha. Hopefully she will not be too big for me to have natural delivery.
I find myself can't handle stress very well, got a major issue at work and I am trying to chew everybody's head off... Errr can't wait for the maternity leave.
And my maid at home hand washed my husband's ties and ruined it, when confronted her she denied it at first and finally admit after we asked her a few more time and treaten to send her back. It is irritating when someone lie... but other than this incident she is good cook, clean well, working hard. But how are we going to trust someone with our baby when she can lie when you look them in the eye. Anyone has any experience or advise?

Me too!! Felt a need to go pee at times altho i juz went.
Then went, not really have oso. At first kinda looking fwd to the Motherfair, bt now i dunno if i sd go (must be crowded, sianz..), since most thgs alr bought.
YB, ya, hb wd take a week's leave & observe how the CL works. Coz no matter how well she is being praised by the agent, CL still a stranger to us.
Ok, then i more "fang xin" regd the hiccups. Thanks.
fruitee, yup.. guess bb's weight weighing down on our legs. I find it pek chek if i have to stand ard & wait too long.
may, i bought the disposable panties from John Little bt dunno gd a not.
Mummies, wd like to know wat brand of stretchmark cream r u all using? Have not bought any yet.

Good Morning MTBs,
how was your sleep yesterday night ??? Me as usual loh, toss and turn, finding the right position.
SandyKerk,
When and where will the Motherhood fair be?
Pepper,
Try to cool yourself down coz being frustrated can affect your girl. I have requested to off load some of my work liao since only 1mth + before maternity.
Hi May,
As long as bb is healthy, don't be too bothered with baby's weight. You can beef her up after she is born. My friend had a triplet and due to the space constraint, she delivered in mth6, each baby was only weighing 400g, 600g and 900g. They had to stay in hospital for around 4 mths!! Thankfully, they all survive and doing fine now
Thus, you we should be thankful that our babies' weight are still reasonable.

Li May,
U want the breakdown ah. 2yr ago leh. Spare me lah.. now i look back at the bill i still dun know how they charge!
U know there is max cap that we can pay for our delivery from CPF medisave? If we lump all the sum together (mother fee + baby fee) then i can pay only to a certain amt. If we split them then we can use our CPF to pay more and no forking out too much cash.
U can ask the hospital admin for help, they will help to optimise the payment.
For those delivery in TMC, did they inform u that u need to deposit $800 cash during admission? My sister told me dun do that, jut give them excuse u forgotten to bring cash or ATM card etc. Cos once u place $800 with them, they will deduct the $800 deposit 1st then the remainder from CPF. Unless ur bill is more than wat ur cpf can claim then bo bian else u may abt to save the $800 cash.
Chicken - i think no chicken cos it will develop pus for those going thru c-section or episiotomy or tear. My MIL ever told me the chicken now is not as gd as last time cos they got injection to make them grow faster. So if can try to get the "mountain chicken or Sang Ba chicken" for cooking after 10 days.
Lala,
i must have too exhasted after two terrible nites and i sleep better last nite.
If i am not wrong the motherhood fair starts on 30 May.
Pepper,
I cant stress too especially at the last stage but unfortunately both pregnancy, the stress came to me during my last trimester. I try to keep calm as possible. My daughter actually train me to be more patience.
Sandy,
Worth going to motherhood fair. I know there are some prdt which is going to be cheaper. Like the maternity pad, Babysafe range, some brand of diapers etc.
YB,
free gift ah? U mean the standard diaper bag? All hospital will have that lor but i know Mt A is giving bathtub, TMC giving free clothing for NB. That is additional items from the standard diaper bag + goodies given. If i am not wrong, we can claim goodies bag from NTUC as well. Dun know do they still continue this promotion.
Fruitee,
My children room is in a mess too. Since my daughter dun sleep in that room so more like a storeroom to store her stuff but we need to clean up so my mum can sleep in.
Jazz,
u can asked ur CL to teach u how to bath ur baby before she leave. Must get a bathtub mat cos the bathtub can be slippery.

Every nite definitely will wake up 1 to 2 times and cant fall asleep aft waking up to pee...n seeing my hubby snoring deeply away like nobody's business really makes me so jealous ! Argh, dunno how to tahan like that for another 1 month plus....
By the way, wanna ask whether any mummies heard that friends and relatives born in year of dog cant see our NB bb until 1st month celebration? my fren told me abt it but dunno whether it's common anot...

hong, ok, wd take note of the anti-slip mat for the tub. Thanks.
eeyore, thanks for the info.
missmoon, not yet. Still using only the J&J moisturiser. Thot sd buy 1 & start using now. Were thking of trying either clarins or avent.
Last nite, when trying to sleep (lie on the bed @1030pm, bb wriggling, kicking on n off, till 12mn), cant lie on the left coz felt abdominal stitch like pains.
Now having a bit of abs pain on the left oso.. is tis normal? Last week on some days too, bt forgot to ask gynae last week when i see him.

Jazzyjas,
I normally sleeps on the left side but still end up with pelvic pain. Thus, I try turning to the right side, and I got leg cramp!!! My hubby now sleeps on a mattress beside me on the floor, to be more readily available should I have leg cramps. Now my boy has the whole half of the king size bed to himself! Good life.
YB,
I think the same rules apply everywhere. If hubby wants to bunk in, they must pay a sum of money in order to bunk in. Guess i still opt for a 2 bedder bah. Not worth spending more just to enjoy the privacy. Anyway, it's for 2 nights?
Jurong Gal,
It's the first I'd heard of that thing! My BIL is born in the yr of dog and he often comes over to my place. Should I do something about it then? I also don't wanna offend my MIL lei.
Hong,
When I was admitted into TMC last year, I don't remember my hubby telling me that he need to pay a $800 upfront? Or maybe it just slips his mind in telling me.
I never did buy any bathtub mat for my baby's bathtub ever since I started using it. Most of the time, when I shower my baby, he's in my arms. I don't have the habit of resting him on the bathtub. Now it explains my sore arms during those days.
Re: Sleepless nights.
I'd read somewhere in some magazines saying, the sleepless nights after the 30 weeks is actually not much of the contribution of our bulky tummy. Rather, it's out hormones releasing some sort of agents into our bloodstream, to re-adjust our sleeping routine, making it lesser, so as to prepare us for the more sleepless nights after baby is born! If I'm not wrong, it's from Motherhood. Hope this information helps!

Hi May,
My friend said John Little's disposable panties are more comfy cos they are made of cotton, instead of the usual paper material. I bought my cotton disposable panties from Robinson's though...
Baby's Weight gain:
Mrs Wong from TMC said some babies will suddenly grow big in the last mth. So not to worry too much. My SIL's baby gal grew from 2.9kg to 3.52kg in just 10days!! Even the doc was surprised!! I'll be seeing my gynae tis Sat, & I anticipate my baby will be small too...
Hi Hong,
Thx. I was thinking if Mt E provides diapers , wat tissues etc during the stay, then I no need pack so much for the hospital bag.
Hi Angeline,
My friend says KKH does not charge additional fee for bunker in 1-bedded. Unless ur hubby wants meals incl., then they'll charge additional...Ya, I'm also thinking since only for 2-days stay, no need to pay so much..I rather quickly go home...

My fren (year of dog) said thus when her sis gave birth this year, she also avoided the bb n neva c the nephew until 1 month old celebration....my situation worse, my mil is year of dog !
