angeline, regd the leg cramps, perhaps u wanna try flexing ur feet b4 u sleep & when u woke up?

ya, saw that StemCord is there. if i'm not wrong, there's a special discount given now, payment abt $400+?
i know wat u mean...sigh. i find it hard to breathe when i first lie down, be it on my back or sides. it will slowly go away though. the most frustrating thing is waking up middle of nite and not falling back to sleep.

Hi fruitee,
I was so tired just now that I quickly booked a session of facial during lunch. Went there do facial and dozed off .... good to zz even is for a short while.
Hi Jazzyjas,
you only go toilet twice before you zz, I will go like 4-5x!!!! Even if I take small slips of water, after 15-20 mins, have to go toilet liao. Seems like every amount of water must come out. So irritating.
I also feel very breathless daily, worse if lie on my back
Hi Angeline,
Maybe you should cover your legs with blanket. The instructor at TMC Antenatal course mentioned that if the legs are cold, higher chance of getting cramps.

sigh, hard to coincide cos i see my gynae only in the evening, sometimes as late as 8pm. think will likely give it a miss then.
sandy
i found my own temp and got boss to approve. but most of my work covered by colleagues, so i no need to worry too much. i think it's a good idea to have some rest before the BIG day. u can conserve all the energy just for the birth
hong
dun worry, i hear that some MTBs gain quite a bit in the last leg of the race.

hi mummies,
Back from gynae...got some questions answered.
Good news is, my bb put on 600g over 2wks, a good feat conpared to last few mths. Doc says i'm coming 36wks now, bb is 2.2kg. (although small, he is no longer worried.) He says, if a bby is more than 2kg, it is not so risky at birth already. If the bb weighs 2.5kg or more, than we should be v happy already.
Noif,
abt the contractions, doc says that my bb is trying to come out already. Luckily, i'm on medication. Says that I've to keep the bb in as long as i can. He says I must pass at least 2 more wks. My bb's head is v low now already. Maybe that wave of contractions last wk pushed the bb down to almost engaged position. no wonder there is a lot of pain inside the pelvic. He says no more walking or squatting as my cervix might dilate anytime, forcing bb out.
All the best for your appt this wk. Doc seeing me next wk again.
Hi Hong,
Your girl same age as mine??? Yah, I'n not going to carry her till I fully recover from delivery. Bedroom slippers... if you don't mind economical, i got mine quite sometime back from watsons. Less than $10.Hope your bb put on more wt too!

Fruitee,
Aiyah i lost track of the gripewater price liao. My hubby is always the one who keep track of the milk powder, etc price leh.
Shld be cheaper lah.
I didnt let my daughter has gripewater for that long leh. I think we stop before she is 6 month old. My neighbour told me gripewater help to cool baby. I dun know how true.
I only let my daughter have gripewater once a day after her morning bath. So a bottle can last quite long leh.
NVM lah, ask ur hubby to drink if the baby cannot finish. hahaha..

Just some sharing,
I didn't feed my girl everyday with gripe water. It actually is v sweet if you taste it yourself. WMy pead prescribed infancol which is available at pharamcy easily. But I don't think you can feed that everyday for long term. But it seems to work better than gripe water.ie for serious colic.
Hong,
my no.1 is a nov 2002 girl. Aiyoh, she so light compared to your girl...ha ha...... hope you can find the bedroom slipper from watsons.
sandy,
My due date actually 12 July, but my doc says bb may be early as my no.1 is early too. My doc is v careful and if it is of no concern, he will say. For me coz I suffer from lotsa contactions so its quite scary if my bb were to come out early. I hope bb will be end june.

Kin,
My girl is huge baby and my MIL had being doing a gd job to maintain her size this way. haha..
My frd told me she got big bone, which i think so. Some told me is gene cos my hubby and I are quite big size too.
It is ok for them to look huge when they are young, imagine a huge lady when she grow up. Aiyo the men will feel her size will be over-powering.
Keep us dated on ur condition. I think a few of the mummies will deliver in Jun.

Dear All,
Just sharing something which I am facing now.I'm sure all of you would like to breastfeed your babies at the beginning. For myself, I've been leaking some colostrum already and because not breastfeeding yet, they tend to dry up at the ducts. So every alternate day, I've been applying purelan 100 by medala. It will prevent your nipple from cracking/bleeding when your bb first suckles the first few days. I suffered from blistrering and bleeding on the 2/3 day as I didn't moisturise and condition them. If you are not suffering from clogged ducys now then its ok. Maybe i'm a second time mum so I got this clogged thingy. I've decided to start early as mine tends to dry out. I find this medela brand the best coz it really helps a lot. But please remember, mummies, just apply gently onto nipples if you use, as rough or to much massaging( nipple
stimulation) is one way that can result in labour.
Another question : have any one had their V-examination and the Strep B test done yet? I'm having mine done next wk.
Hong,
I'm sure your bb will do well. past 2 wks, I eat beef twice a wk, eat more eggs, drink some chicken essence. I put on 2 kg in 2 wks. bb put on 0.6kg. I got at least half kg on bb. So I'll continue with my diet in this manner...

MTBs,
Just wondering if you all get swollen fingers and palms besides feet?
Kin - Yup, I guess the MIM sling will do that if we don't follow the correct technique. So, better practice, practice, practice. Good news that your BB gained weight!
Yup, have done my V-test liao!
YT - Yup, continue to talk to your BB. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
Sandy - Thanks! So, we can't just paste the code.
Wah, 4 more weeks or so and most of us will be mommies already...so fast hor!
jazzyjas - Yup, sometimes I do esp. when he kicks real hard. I guess BB is growing and our tummy is not expanding fast enough.
Hong - You are most welcome!
Wah, you lucky...me go toilet very often these days.
Fruitee, lala, missmoon - At least your BB don't keep you up the whole nite! *wink* Wah, you bought so many bottles of g/water ah? I thought we only feed BB with g/water when baby got gas, colic or hiccups???
Kite - Take care & Good luck!
Angeline - Hang in there!!! We are all almost there liao! Talking about cramps, I guess we all have cramps and what's worst, me got swollen hands and feet!

Hi Japepearl & YT,
Ur swollen hands may be due to water retention. Try to limit ur salt intake & drink more water. Let ur gynae know abt it.

Hi Sandy,
Gynae used the ultrasound and measured the circumference of baby's head and tummy and length of baby's leg. From this, the computer will populate the weight. Anyway, it is a rough guide only.
My baby is only 1.9kg on 1st day of 34 weeks. My 1st response when he told me the weight was "Huh, so light ??" Then gynae replied that when you are delivering, you will be glad that your baby is only average in size.
Still, I hope baby will be at least 2.8kg when born.
Jadepearl & YT,
I also have swollen hands. Infact, my feet are not really that swollen as compared to my hands ...
Mummies,
do you base your weight gain from the 1st day you visited gynae or from the time when you lost weight (lightest) during 1st trimester? Me put on weight again even now when my appetite drops *sigh*

Poppy, YT,
I'm also crossing my fingers for baby to turn. Seeing gynae tom. Hopefully he'll give me good news. Really dread C-sect...
Sandy,
My colleauges are covering my duties during the 12 weeks ML.
He used ultrasan to tell the baby's weight.
MTBs,
Who's going to take care of your baby when you go back to work? Anyone considering infant care?

Mummies,
for those who gain weight, it is ur baby and ur weight so u dun gain much.
Kin,
I get tired easily. May be i shld take one bot of chix essense each morning to booast my energy.
Mummies,
heard from radio that JL expo sale is back again. Can go and have a look.
Daisyduck,
I still entrust my MIL to look after my boy after my ML. She did a very gd job althot there is conflicts here and there. My daughter will be going to nursery class and free my MIL in the morning so she can concern on the baby.
Initially, my mil suggested to get a baby sitter to take care of my boy but i dun find it a d arrangement. Sibling apart and they wun be closed later.
lala,
very hard for me to calculate my weight. I lost weight in my 1st trimester then gain back again. I think we shld take the lower kg - current kg = total weight gain?
