Hi Joan, Fen Fen,
For the past few days, I've been having v crampy sensations at the pelvic area. When the bb moves, it is worse as it seems the bb has already moved down there. It happens more at night for me. I don't realise how painful it can get until I realise I am gripping onto something tightly, be it a pillow or my shirt.Yesterday I had a scare, my upper tummy and the sides suddenly when into a cramp(like the ones you get on the leg at night) and it stayed for 1-2 hrs plus. It was gripping pain that moved like waves over my entire tummy. Goodness, I had to "ren" and after lying down for 3 hrs, it was better and the crampiness went away. After that it didn't come anymore after I took my ventoiln to ease the uterus. Today, I feel the cramps at the pelvic region again. A little worried, but hope I can last till Monday which is my appt. I hope it is nothing to do with the placenta, or the cervix or whatever coz I've not felt this type of pain for my no. 1.
So scary...

Hi JOan,
Pls see this link. The netting sling is actually the swim sling. http://www.plumandpeach.com/swimsling.htm
I use the normal MIM one.

Hi Kite,
The ultrascan revealed that there were spots showing up on the placenta.ie. he said that holes were forming ie, it is aging and that is natural.. How big is yr baby now? Mine was a big bb and her wt was 3.23kg upon birth.I was also induced due to HBP.So there was no issue as I delivered at 38wk. Once the placenta mature,it has served its purpose and it can no longer supply the proper nutrients that the bb needs, no wt gain thus.
So doc will advise that you be induced. By next wk, you'll be 37 wks right? This is quite an ok time already.Don't worry to much.

Hi Kite,
May I know how to find out if placenta is mature or not? Can only check by ultrasound scan?

Hi, All Mummies.

Went to see my gynae on Sat afternoon, thot that waterbbag leaking, coz panties "damp damp" feeling, but after the check up, everything okie.
Now boy boy @ 35wks is 2.7kg.But my weight dropped by 1 kg, this preganancy very funny, weight juz went up and down as it likes.
Gynaekeep tellin me to induce next friday, 36weeks, I tell dun want, wait every yr celebrate bdae, boy boy be bored, coz my bdae on Monday, hence I tell him why not wait for 37 wks, if I can tolerate....
Enough of myself....
How abt all mummies? How have all the preparations for the baby's arrival going on? Everything ready? For me, everything is ready, except for putting clothes for me to go home.

kin:
Actually on mon morning, i got a show (red discharge mucus), so meaning i hv lost my mucus plug.
Then i realised my weight has dropped 1 kg down plus my waist line also shrinked abit so i asked gynac y. Then yest gynac confirmed my placenta matured liao w some white spots shown from ultrasound and cant wait anymore, therefore bb has to be induced. Next tue induced wil be 36wks 3 days, considered early? my bb is small, oni 2.6kg at 35wks. then also e same at 36wks
cos placenta seems stop functioning, also lead amniotic fluid drops abit.
But i dunno y my placenta mature so early, even my gynac also dunno e reason. do u hv any idea?
YB/Li May:
Yes can monitor oni through ultrasound scan.
I also dunno my placenta mature until yest cos my weight drop n my waist shrink abit. Also my amniotic fluid is abit low due to placenta mature. Li May, u better check out w ur gynac on ur next visit on ur weight. If ur gynac asked u to induce, u better listen to ur gynac n ask him/her wat is e reason. Anyway i wil be induce next tue which is also 36wks. bo bian. Cos for e gd sake of bb n scare there might be a risk if inside my tummy.

hey gals,
here's some info to share regarding the chinese herbs to take after pregnancy:
Either
1.take Sheng Hua Tang (about 2 packets)
Or
2.Ou Jing Yuan (pill form)about 3 dosage
usually taken 3 days after discharge.
Both are taken to remove blood clots in uterus.
After finishing the above, on the second week, take Fu He Yuan. This is taken to "qu feng". Taken alternate days,about 5 bottles.
And last but not least, take Bai Feng Wuan only when menses total clear.
Hopr this info is useful to u gals. But pls do ask the chinese medical hall when in doubt.. cheers..

Tracy - Thanks for the info.
Kite - I guess its better to listen to your obgyn as they are the experts mah!
Aren't you excited to see your BB so so soon? Not to sure why the placenta matures early but here's something interesting. All the best for next Tue!!!
Towards the end of pregnancy, the placenta begins to show signs of aging. Calcium deposits appear and some localised areas of the placenta may die, or become replaced with fibrous tissue, or become obstructed by clots of maternal blood. The maternal vessels supplying blood to the intervillous spaces may become hardened or blocked. These are considered to be signs of the great stress experienced by the placenta as it tries to meet the ever-growing demands of the baby during the later months. It is reassuring to know that in the great majority of cases these maturational changes in the placenta do not degrade its overall function and the fetus is in no way harmed. There is evidence to suggest that several factors can influence these placental changes. For example, the development of calcification can be accelerated by maternal cigarette smoking (Brown et al, 1988), although dietary antioxidants may help to neutralise this effect (Klesges et al, 1998).
Li May - IMHO, please do listen to your obgyn as they know best for both mommie and BB.
YB - Not to sure! Maybe you can ask your obgyn.
I think its better to use a thermometer and stick it at the armpit (as per Mrs Wong's esp. when the ear thermometer might not fit the BB's ear properly).
YT - Maybe you can talk to your BB to turn. Heard that it works coz the BB understand mah!
zita - I think you can go to Kiddy Palace. If you don't mind going to Chinatown, Cheong Choon Store should have also. Somehow, I find that CCS gives better $$$.
kin - Yup, bought a MIM sling too. Now, I have to practice so that I can do it properly when my BB comes out. How's your appt today? (It is on Mon, right?) Hope everything is A-OK.
Poppy - You are right ~ the sling is cheaper outside compared to the ones at the fair.
The fair at Expo was nothing to shout about either.
brambles - Yup, the contractions or some calls it Braxton Hicks are quite similiar to menstrual cramps...that's what I have been told.
When I asked Mrs Wong, she said that I will definately know when the real contractions comes ~ cannot miss one!!!
Sandy - Hope that your sup has approved your leave....you PG what!!! Power to PG women!!!

Kin,
I also felt the cramps too!
Tis morning I felt the cramps a few times (like the the cramp we get on the leg) at the left side of my lower tummy. So worry! I never feel this kind of pain for my 1st pregnancy. The pain really unbearable and my body cant even stay straight.
When I try to stand and the cramp came back so i need to lying down for 2 hours. Anyway, after lie down for 2 hours felt better but more BH contractions...was wondering y?? Hopefully can tong till Wednesday to check with my gynae.
Still got 3 more weeks to reach 37 weeks. I hope my baby can wait, pray hard hard!

Noif,
I ask gynae tmr abt it(Mon), I changed my appt. After those waves of cramps. Thank God no more bad ones.But you are right. Can't even stand! can't even move. Just have to freeze and breath through mouth to relax myself till it is over....
TOday, I went to carry my 15kg girl for 1-2 min..My goodness.... later part of the day, goodness, cramps almost coming back bit by bit.
Luckily, I've been taking ventolin daily so it helps ease my contractions a bit. But in the night, lots of BH. Actually, I can't really tell becoz I've them since 20wks. For my first, I didn't know I was in labour coz they felt almost the same. Our EDD the same but I'll deliver early. how early i don't know,but doc was saying 38 wks for me..
Kite,
Aiyoh, you sound so worried.I think 2.6kg is fine.I've friends who deliver their bbs full term at that weight. I'm hoping tmr, gynae will give me good news on my bb's wt. At 33 wks, she was only 1.6kg.sob sob... All the best for tues! No idea why the early maturation.But since it already started showing signs, then no choice.Be Optimistic! Jia You!waiting to hear your good news.
Ilovemybabyg,
I got contractions for both my pregnancies at 20wks onwards. Had to be on ventolin daily til I delivered. Yes, night time seems to be more, no idea why but that is consistently so. I suggest you continue to take your ventolin til you see your doc. Once I'm off ventolin I feel v bad contractions.And sometimes, once they really start, it may signal pre-term labour which is v dangerous. so it is best that you check with your doc your condition. And don't exert your self too much, carry too heavy stuff, walk too much as all these are triggers. What helps is, drink more water(dehydration is part of cause for some people), rest/lie down when you can. Also, learn to breathe deeply, and "blow the pain away".Sit if you can. Sometimes, if it is pulling sensations, then it could be the expanding of the uterus too, which is normal. So just monitor and rest well! Can always call your doc when not sure.
Jadepearl,
Thanks for arranging the list for us! Will let you know update of bb after tmr's appt.MIM sling,I used it for 2 yrs plus till my girl was almost 3 yrs.... it takes practice and perserverence to use it well but it is worth it.however, if used wrongly can hurt your back and shoulder. Nowadays, the sling is quite commonly seen but I've seen many mums carry their bbs in an improper way that will strain the back and shoulders. By right, it should not. It was great for breast feeding and cover ups too!

Hi Mummies,
How do your gynea know the baby weight ? Through ultra sound ? My sister - in law also induce delivery when her gynea say her baby not growing.
My gynea will be alway this 2 week , the nurse told me to be a good girl.. don't run about .. ( i feel so clumpsy and heavy until i only feel like sticky to chair)
4 week more and my baby will be mature..

Do u feel uncomfy at times when bb kicks, nudges?
Last nite, when bedtime, bb kicks, nudges & wriggles.. for ard 20+mins. Felt uncomfy & have to sit up. Can see tummy "popping up & down", a bit tightening too.
Bb is seldom like this, is she ok?
sandy, my gynae only tells me an average of bb's weight. I dunno how they measure.

Zita,
u have the pic of ur grace Playpen. I might be interested.
Kin,
u shld not carry ur girl now. My girl is also 15kg but i didnt carry her cos it kind of stress my body after that.
Li May,
Listen to ur gynae advice, u take care.
Japepearl,
Thank for the info on mature placenta.
Kite,
it will be better to induce the bb if the placenta have matured. I have a few frds who have the same case as u and they when into induction. If baby cant get food from the mother body then it will be advisable to get them out to feed them outside. U take care too.

Fruitee,
You so poor thing
I really hate the feeling of not getting enough sleep then go to work ... it's really a torture. Yest I went to bed at 9.30pm, was lying there till 1+am then finally managed to fall asleep. While trying to zz, was so "kan cheong" and worried that I can't zz. In between, was feeling either breathless or never-ending of toilet visits!!

ya, when bb wriggles and nudges, can get quite uncomfortable and sometimes painful. these days, keep getting this gradual ache/pain on the lower right abdomen.
ya lo...the feeling from lack of sleep is really frustrating. wake up go toilet (then dunno where all that urine come from!) and then cannot get back to sleep. then just abt to fall asleep, time to walke up liao.

actually, when i sleep on left, bb move quite vigorously...then sleep on either side for too long, will have aches ard rib cage, hips etc. the pain on my right side is ard the placenta area, this can happen while i'm lying down or when i seated.
miserable feeling. ya, can feel the pressure in pelvic area also...esp when there's a full bladder?

Fruitee,
I got the same feeling as u. I fall into deep sleep only when near my time to wake up for work.
Do u all start to feel ache here and there? or feel baby is at your pelvic bone area?
My gynea never mention anything about my baby weight.. He only kept trying to confirm again that it is a boy... cos the detail scan report put " no male genital found. it could be female."

ya. the package is $1,300 excl. GST (got $100 off during motherhood fair). subsequent years for storage is $250, i think. the fees include insurance from ntuc income as well, and the fees for gynae to extract cord blood (if delivering in SGH or NUH, cannot rem which one, then it's cheaper cos gyanes there dun charge)
