(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Jurong gal,
I am going after work.

Lala,
OK i ask Dr Ang again.
After my coy re-org, i got more things to handle. I suppose to be under a Project Manager but now like no proj mgr and i have to report to higher mgmt and the higher mgmt not very familiar with my job scope. I feel so strain especially when i see i still got so many to follow up and meetings to attend.

Worse of all, others passing me the projects without any background intro at all. When to ask them and they cant give me a complete pic. I still dun know who to pass my work to. Gek Sim!

Missmoon,
U can start 1 week earlier than me. May be u start now, take once a week.

Fruitee,
Ur gynae very confident.

Breathless - i hope i have a mini oxygen tank with me all the time.
 


Hi NOIF & Sandy & Hong,
The thing is I dunno how to differentiat thai coconut wif normal coconuts leh...Is it the big or small ones? Can buy from supermarket?

Hi May,
Have been practising Kegels on & off. Hopefully it'll helps.

Hi Jazzyjas,
The talk was okay. I've never seen so many preggies b4 in my whole life!! Think got more than 100!! They talked about newborns & labour.
 
Sandy
Good luck for your exams!!!

Lala
Yah.. u are definitely right.. will hand in my leave form for tml & fri to my boss.. ahah.. cannot take it liao.. later come back from lunch think lagi worst!

Jazzy
I'm like a zombie struggling in the office! Haiz..
Climbing the stairs.. ya, I can imagine, been through it too. the last time hb parked so high, need to climb like 2 stairs.. me see liao also wanna faint.. just half way through, can feel the strain on my legs & breathless... can die loh
 
hong, thanks
happy.gif
i think i will start soon. any kind of coconut water, right? those canned ones and those at hawker centres?
 
Hong: I took bird nest now and then since my 2nd trimester. Cannot every week eat lah .. too expensive!
happy.gif


MTBs: I am not too sure if coconuts help.. heard the other side of the story that drinking too much coconut juice will cause jaundice to the baby...
 
Jessie,

yah bird nest so exp. 1st time i heard coconut will cos jaundice leh.

Missmoon,
U never PAY ATTENTION AH... must Whack u liao. hahaha..
fresh coconut lah, not canned coconut drink hor. I know some hawker drink stall will sell the coconut drink in glass.

We are suppose to drink those whole coconut. They serve u the whole coconut kind.

NOIF,
u drinking this week or not? May be u take a pic to show the rest??
 
hong...obviously short memory. pardon me, my blond moment here...hahaa ok ok, now i know and will commit to memory.

btw, just saw a glimpse of MIND YOUR BODY...something abt coconut? haven't read it though
 
aiyo.. another misconception of Jaudice.
First misconception of Jaudice is eat too much orange color food. Now is cococut. OMG
Jaudice is in almost every baby cos their liver not mature yet so cannot get rid of bilirubin ( form when red bld cell die). It uusally happen on the 2nd day of birth. And will go off after a week or 2 by itself.
At home , u can try putting your baby near sunlight but nt direct sunlight hor..
If serious, need to go hospital the have this special blue light to help the recovery.
 
hong, they r trying overwork u or they r "finding trouble"?? When u go off for ur ML, they wd be less of 1 capable worker to do all these stuff.
Dun they plan to ask someone to start taking over ur thgs bit by bit?
Hey, tmwr update us on wat the Fair has? Thanks!
happy.gif


YB, hmm.. guess must be very crowded then. Go loo must be qte a Q loh?
happy.gif


fruitee, get up a bit & walk ard.. now after lunch worse.. I cant sit too long, i wd feel discomfort all over the body.

missmoon, hb went during lunch, said have settled.
happy.gif
Waited for ard more than 30mins i thk altho have priority Q.

Coconut:-
So we r talking abt those "big green ones" rite? Not those small, yellowish white small ones?
 
Jazzy,
Work - i also feel that. If there is mess then i clean up after my ML.

I try to take down what they have in the fair.

Jaundice - I have heard of two methods that will cure jaundice but they have no scientific prove at all.. So mummy who like to base on scientific prove can ignore it.

1st method - cook 8 red date in water and feed the baby

2nd method - brew the kangkong seed (the kangkong vegetable seed, can get from carrefore or major supermarket that selling packet of seed). feed the baby the kangkong seed water. My nephew tried it and he recovered from it after 3 days.

coconut - yah yah the big green one.

Missmoon,
hahaha.. i have terrible memory lost during my 1st pregnancy and i havent recover from it. I told my frd i most likely getting "Lao ren chi dai zheng" when i grow old.
 
Jessie
Coconut causes Jaundice??? huh.. then should drink or not..??

Boss approved my 2 days leave liao.. Tml & Friday.. Ho seh liao.. me will lua through out.. kekeke
 
Japepearl,
My gynae also never mentioned about the v-swap.

Sandy,
I feel really stretched most of the time...like going to explode soon....:p

Lala,
I had a bit of greenish discharge yesterday, but today seems ok leh.

Fruitee,
Your baby so disciplined hor, turn down liao.

Coconut,
Never hear about coconut drink causing jaundice...hmmm. I plan to start next week...week 35.

TURN BABY TURN!
 
Poppy,
my baby turn head down as early as week 25.
Alot of wrong concept on Juadice.. ai yo yo.
I got hard time explaining to my parent about Juadice.. they know i know more than them cos i study Nutrition while i am in Poly. But they insist on their old thinking.. *Shake Head*
 
Sandy
Wow.. yr bb so guai loh.. week 25 head turn down liao..

ok.. 2 more weeks to go before I can start the coconut drink.. CHEONG AHHHHHHHHHH
 
Sandy - OIC, maybe some obgyn do not think its necessary. I guess its normal that we are all finding it hard to sleep coz our little BB is big now. Good luck with the exam? Is it your last paper?

jazzyjas - You are most welcome! V-swap ~ I don't know if its compulsory but my obgyn did mine liao. Talk about tightening of tummy, I feel the same way too. Tummy sometimes hard also.

lala - OIC, thanks for the info about V-swap. Same here, sleeping is indeed a challenge. Sending you lots of "turn down little BB" vibes!

Fruitee - Glad to hear that baby has turned. I guess it really depends on the both sets of parents coz if both parents are big size, then BB should be big size too. As long as your obgyn is OK with it, that's what counts. Glad to hear that your leave is approved!

Hong - OK...so, we can start taking coconut water after Week 34. Yup, sometimes esp. when I have to climb the stairs (only like 12 steps), I will end up breathless...haiz! *hugs* So sorry to hear that you are given a bigger load at work. These people really don't think...haiz! Thanks for the info about jaundice and its cures.

missmoon - Wah, you due at Week 38. So, when is that actually? End of June? I guess our little BB has their own likes and dislikes already and boy! do they know how to kick hard when they are not happy.

YB - If I am not mistake, the thai coconut is the small ones which is sold in pasar malam. The big ones often comes in green colour and I think you can find it at the markets or neighbourhood food centres.

Jessie - Har,coconut juice will cause jaundice? Dearie me!

Poppy - OIC, I guess every obgyn is different. Oh, I know what you mean about "tummy going to explode" feeling.
 
Hi Ladies,
Sorry to butt in on your thread. I'm from the April06 MTB thread.

Anybody interested in getting the warming body wash for confinement from little dreamers? I have an extra unused bottle. I also have 2 unused boxes (1 box has 6 teabags) and 1 used box (left 5 teabags) of post-partum herbal soak from Moms in Mind. No chance to use the herbal soak as I had to undergo emergency c-sect.

Please pm me for details if anyone interested. Thanks.
 
hi, juz kaypoh here awhile..i'm from JanMTB2006 thread.

poppy,
my baby didnt turn till 36wks...but turn also no use lah, in the end i had c-section cos after 12hrs labour, her head was stuck in my pelvic bone, i had high fever etc. so dun worry too much abt baby not turning, let it be natural..
 
Fruitee,japepearl : Regarding the coconut juice that will cause jaundice is what 2 of my colleagues had experienced had told me . They drink like crazy almost everyday during the last one month and their babies end up yellow.. I dunno is it really cause by the coconut .. but that's my sharing of what i know. Furthermore, coconut juice is very very cooling .. dunno whether can all MTBs' bodies take it . Some bodies cannot take cooling stuff.. Anyway, personally i think everything must take in moderation. Should not take excessively.
 
Hong & Mummies,

NOIF
Thanks for the pic... it's sure is useful for us.. at least got pic, wont get it wrong.. but moderate la.. we just take perhaps once a week.. no excessive drinking..
happy.gif
 
Coconut Juice:
Actually when are we really supposed to drink coconut? After 36wks? Or we can take it now? Think once a wk is just nice.

Hi jazzyjas,
Toilet queue okay lah. I went before the talk begins. But nothing to be fantastic about. Most of the topics we heard from Mrs Wong already.
 
japepearl
ya lor, since going to be c-sect, now scheduled to be first wk of july, 2 wks earlier from EDD 19 Jul - upon gynae's advice
 
YB,
My mummy say eat coconut only one per week.. Cos too liang. If i am the mother, everything also can eat cos to me balance diet is important.

JApearl and Fruitee,
Thanks. Hope can clear paper. Just aim to pass only. Hehe
 
YB, Fruitee
I start drink coconut at 33 weeks which is last Sat lo! heehee!

But dont think i will take once a week now la. Think will only do that when turning 35 weeks.

These few weeks like drink lot of things leh! Bird nest, snow jelly, rasberry tea, avocado juice, coconut juice, red date tea.....OMG!
 
Jessie,
drinking coconut juice everyday! A bit extreme i guess.

Generally yellow skin like us get jaundice more easily than other races. May be due to our gene.

NOIF,
Thanks for the picture.

Any mtbs still ask abt wat type of coconut must be ham tam liao.
happy.gif
 
Sandy
We support you!!!
happy.gif


NOIF
wah.. so fast u drink liao.. think I wait another 2 weeks or so.. keke.. ya loh.. like drink so many drinks.. whole stomach all water.. ahhah
 
Hi NOIF,
I heard taking rashberry tea too early may cause early labour. Tat's y I dun dare to take it ow. Probably u want to take it later in ur preg?
 
YB,
I didn't drink everyday. So far drink once only which is monday lo!

Anyway, think i better stop and wait till 35 weeks cos recently feel lot of BH contractions and tightening. Really uncomfortable...
 
Hi Mummies,
This is the bath support or bath cradle. Dont need to worry too slipping when bath baby. I found it quite useful especially for 1st time parent who dont know how to bath baby.

Hi, All Mummies,

Went to see my gynae yesterday, coz boy boy has not been kicking much for the past 2 days..Hence vert worried. Went thru the check up, everything is fine.

Gyane then explained maybe is due to the medication that I am taking, coz 1 of them cause drownisness....hence maybe too much, boy boy also sleepy.

Gynae talked to me abt Induction again, as long I pass the 36wk mark, he might want to induce me anytime, I can still choose date for my induction. LOL

Last, but not least, take care, all Mummies

BTW, do update on the MOTHERHOOD FAIR. Thanks in advance
 
morning mummies,
ar i couldn't sleep agian... my baby rest so high until i couldn't breath properly.. neither left nor right is comfortable now... in the end i sleep in sitting position but still nt comfortable leh... AHHHHH !!! 6-7 week more...
WIsh baby come out at week 36 or 37.. then i can sleep comfortably..
 
noif, where to buy this bath cradle & how much? Thanks.
happy.gif


sandy, have experienced this b4, difficulty to breathe either left (plus abs a bit pain) or right, lie on my back & dozed off instead coz too tired.

MTBs, i noticed that the swelling on the ankles & legs come n go. Usually how long it lasts b4 it went away then come back?
 
li may
good luck, hope bb will stay inside as long as possible before u nd to do induction
happy.gif
u must be getting all prepared and excited

sandy, jazzyjas
ya, i feel that sometimes the moment i lie down on either left or right, hard to breathe. either way, not comfortable. sometimes lying flat on back then a bit more relaxed.

jazzyjas, i had swelling of ankles during my 2nd tri and it lasted a couple weeks before it went down completely. until now...just started getting swells again but i find this time for me, it goes down when i wake up next morning. i guess it depends on how much walking or sitting u do? i dunno ley, seems like each time is different.
 
Missmoon & Jazzyjas,
I read from a chinese pregnancy book state that we will be exerting pressure on our backbone if we sleep on our back. Anyway, i sleep on my back also got problem breathing...

Misssmoon,
I just discover my ankles and legs swelling too
sad.gif

My mother say it will goes off after birth, try yo lift your legs high when u sleep will help
 
thanks, sandy. ya, i've been doing that before i go to sleep and prop my ankles on a pillow when i sleep. it helps to bring swelling down
happy.gif
 
sandy, sleeping on the back is not good.. given a choice better dun. Got once, i slept on my back for dunno how long, i woke up, my back is kinda painful.

missmoon, the swelling started in 3rd tri for me coz b4 tat i din really notice. Bt dunno y, now my right foot felt kinda "suan"??
Thot i sleep more last nite bt now a bit giddy oso. Haiz.. "problems" dun come alone hor..
sad.gif


missmoon & sandy, if u lie on ur sides, how u prop up the ankles? For me, only 1 leg can go onto the pillow.
 
Morning mummies, update abt the fair.

Motherhood fair - not worth going. Getting more disappointed this yr.
Milk powder - only wyeth, annmum and mamil took part.
Diaper - Nepia is there selling diaper $14 per pack. Can order thru delivery.
Dryper but i didnt check the price.
EQ & sealer and Pureen product.

There are many small stalls that selling maternity and nursing clothes.

Some stalls selling that sell organic wash product like GAIA and Avado.

Insurance coy and slimming coy took up all the bigger booth.
 
Jazzyjas,
i got 2 blooster to help.. if u lie on your right then one below your right leg, another one in the middle of two leg..
But some how u will find this two pillow will go missing the next morning... because u have kick it out of the bed w/o noticing it. Wahaha
 
jazzyjas
got bolster in between legs mah...so prop on top of the other. wake up in morning to find both legs on bed instead of pillow...haha

ya, i know the "suan" feeling...it's edema, the fluid build-up...that's wat's causing it? i dunno ley.
 
hong, thanks for the info. Guess not worth the effort to go loh? Planning to get pampers, pump there initially.

sandy, hahaha!! Tat's y put pillow better, wun roll over.. hee.. bt wif the bolster underneath ur right leg comfortable?
 
noif, thanks!
happy.gif


missmoon, i have another smaller pillow for my tummy to rest. At times, find myself sleeping in a weird way.
Really? i din know tat.. coz this is the 1st time this swelling felt "suan". Now i sit in the office very uncomfy.
 
Jazz,
So far i don't find it uncomfortable.. i have blooster, pillows ( big , long , small) all around me now. My HB have to sleep on the floor... Wahaha
 
Missmoon, edema is either u drink too much fluid or u eat too much salty stuff that cause the water to retain in the body.
I strongly don't encourage ppl to eat salty food as it will cause hypertension and alot of health problem later..
 
Jazz,
i saw medela pump but i didnt take note the amt. Did see Avent product.

NOIF,
i thot u experience, still need the the support?
 


sandy
i dun ley, in fact, i avoid that. nurses tell me it's common to have that, so long as we avoid salty and sweet stuff, shld be ok. as for drinking too much fluid, it's the opp ley, they told me to drink more water to flush it out?
