missmoon, cant lie on the left, breatheless & abs painz, so only lie on the right or back. Bt back cant for too long.
Nowadays, altho juz went loo, have the urge to go again.. so b4 i sleep, i always go 2x. The pelvic pressure is on n off, bt i felt it juz now when i stood up.
Last nite, tired & qte upset, coz dunno y bb so active, wondering wat she wants. Bt seems like mummies here also have, sd be ok.
Cordlife:
Actually GlenE has Stemcord u know? Planning to sign up wif them.

fruitee, me not perspiring.. its more i feel "unable to breathe", the room felt stuffy.

YB, do u feel uncomfy when bb's movements too strong? Esp when the tummy is distorted & tightened.

hong, i thk i need rest soon oso.. planning my leave 1 day this week.

angeline, regd the leg cramps, perhaps u wanna try flexing ur feet b4 u sleep & when u woke up?
 
jazzyjas
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.
 
Sandy
me ache all over.. especially my butt.. the hip area... haiz.. at times lie on the bed, hard to get up.. ahahha. Sometimes even can feel my boy triggerring my bladder make me wanna visit the toilet again!

fruitee

jazzyjas

happy.gif


now must treasure sleep even more! seems like rare commodity these days.
 
Hi jazzyjas,
Yes, I feel very uncomfy when my tummy is distorted from baby's movements. Can't concentrate on my work.

This morning feel extreme pressure at pelvic area. Dunno wat's wrong.
 
Fruitee,
same for me! I feel so unprepare this time. Dun know why still thinking did i miss out anything.
I think i need a bedroom slipper still looking ard for it.

Mummies,
i feel my boy still very high. Tummy still very high up not like some preggies where they look as if the tummy going to drop anytime.
I am seeing my gynae this sat, hopefully baby gain weight.
 
Fruitee, ya.. tummy tightens on n off today.

missmoon, still have time, juz tat in case the promo no more mah.

YB, ya.. plus the tightening.. no mood to work.

Keep feeling an urge to go ps altho i already gone in the morning.
sad.gif

Btw, do u all feel ur palms kinda sweaty after using the mouse for qte a while? Or coz i am feeling hot now??
 
Working Mummies,
Have your company employ a temp staff to cover your work during your 2-3 mth maternity leave?
I feel so insecure about it....
Do u think i shld take 4 days leave prior to birth ?
 
missmoon, no weekend tour leh.. went to the counter & asked, gave me a leaflet with info on it. Only Tues & Thurs.
Go when u r seeing ur gynae. Planning to like this.
 
jazzyjas
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
happy.gif


hong
dun worry, i hear that some MTBs gain quite a bit in the last leg of the race.
 
Missmoon,
I found my own temp too but my sup until now still haven give me sign my contract although they (director and sup) verbally say extent my contract.
I feel cramp every now and then...
I think body is preparing for big day..

Missmoon
think not much of things there also... but did you get the gripze water??

Hong
I also looking for bedroom slippers... cannot find ley. Aussino have but it comes in a set with the bath robe.
 
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!
 
YT,
We have the same thing....bb doesn't turn. I read if they grow any bigger they wouldn't have space to turn liao.

Kite,
Smooth labour for you
happy.gif
 
Kin,
U already week 36 ?? your baby coming this month ?
My Gynea also say my baby head low but he never say anything.
My gynea very quiet leh.. hiaz.
 
Kin,
how old is ur girl? Mine was borned in Jan 04.
I havent look into watson. Shld go and take a look.

Its a gd new that ur baby gain weight! My tummy still very compact, hopefully baby will gain weight. I think will gain but is how much.

Fruitee,
I saw some at Muji and some design having sale.
One design is quite comfortable but is cover front and the sole like will trap dust and hair.
 
Hong
I will go check out Muji. Cant think of what are the rest of the things not get yet.. mind of working!

Missmoon
I got half dozen for the gripe water. At first hb getting 1 dozen.. I pengz.. hahah...change to half dozen..
 
Fruitee,
Half a dozen? U get 6 bottle of gripwater? Why getting so many. Finish liao then buy lor.
1 bottle can last quite long leh. U all drinking or baby drinking??
 
Hong
not me la.. my hb kiasu loh.. immediately 1 dozen.. then the lady already packing liao.. so I paisey loh.. take half instead. Anyway, the expiry date until 2009 Dec, so I guess should be ok. Per bottle $3.60, think cheaper??
 
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.
 
Poppy, huh? Then how? when is ur due date? Since sat, hb had been 'working' very hard to tell the bb to guai guai head turn.

Fruitee, I bought my gripe water @ $3.50 at Sheng Shiong.
 
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!
happy.gif
Yup, have done my V-test liao!

YT - Yup, continue to talk to your BB. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
happy.gif


Sandy - Thanks! So, we can't just paste the code.
happy.gif
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.
happy.gif


Hong - You are most welcome!
happy.gif
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!
happy.gif


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!
 
japepearl,

Thks. I also have swollen hands. Didn't realise until hb hold my hands n say ur hands are swollen. And I realise last nite that my hand numb easily also. Omg!
 
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.
 
Kin,
the clogged that form at your breast is it off white color? I seem to have that, and i need to use finger to scratch it off. If not the top layer will turn black.
 
Morning mummies,

I realise last nite that only my right hand is more swollen and I have feel abit tight when i close my hand. So funny my leg also only right leg more swollen.
 
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?
 
lala,

me too! i ate much lesser yet i still can gain abt 600g per week, now total put on 14.5kg liao and still gaining.

i calculated my weight gain from the day i saw my gynae.
 

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?
