Missmoon,

Mummies,
I think I've piles...not very sure though. Anyone has experience?? Can tell me how it's like?
 


dsiitan
that's why I taking 2 weeks before EDD, sleep until I enuff... ahahh

misaryeo
U also start yr ML liao ah??
 
Poppy,
I suffered from piles 2 mths ago. It's really painful where you have a lump there. You can't exert force when you are doing your biz and even when there's nothing coming out, you bleed. I remembered seeing a bloody toilet bowl even though my attempt to clear my bowels was unsuccessful. Luckily, it cleared up by itself. It was a suffering 2 weeks for me.
 
hi mummies,
just came back from gyane today. Bb is 2.4kg at coming 37 wks.he says bb is not growing well so I'm going to be induced in abt 10days time. Next wk's appt to confirm the date!!Keep my fingers crossed that there is no underlying problems.............
 
Angeline,
I can feel the lumps, but touch wood no bleeding but it's painful.
sad.gif


So it'll clear by itself? Any remedies?
 
Hi poppy,

Thanks for the info. I didnt know they only provide those tie-back gowns. I better start hunting for at least two pyjamas then. I saw some nice PJs at Marks and Spencer but my hubby exclaimed that they are so expensive!!!!

Btw, carrefour is selling front button t-shirt suitable for nursing at 12.90, i think. Quite ok for home-wear.
 
Hi kin,
Y does ur gynae said ur baby is not growing well? My gynae said my baby will be at most 2.6 t0 2.7kg at birth, cos she's a small & petite baby. But he never say anything about inducing leh...
 
may, go check out those departmental stores like JL, isetan, taka...hong and dsiitan has recommended me the KARMY brand one...and on sale now.

poppy, this PD very popular hor. my sis who delivered in gleneagles was also assigned this PD.
 
Kin,

Did the gynae saying ur placenta started to mature? That mean u will get to see ur baby earlier. Congrats. Dun worry too much, everything will be fine.
Hope that u have a short and smooth labour.

YB,
do u have the list of things we need to bring for registration? Not the hospital bag.

1) Parent's NRIC
2) marriage cert
3) All the recipts
4) Bank book
Anymore? If we are not registering bb name at the hospital do we still need to bring marriage cert? I cant rbr wat bring last time.

BTW, for mummies who feel they do not have gd handwriting and couldnt write chinese well. U can print out the chinese character and paste on the birth cert.
 
Hi Mummies,

Wow, these few days so active..i'm coming to 37 weeks this sat but still havent pack my hospital bag, havent wash bb clothes either.. seems like i must faster get stuff done liao..

The only ting i've been doing recently is to drink those big green coconut that hong recommend.. shiok...

Hi Fruitee,

Ur com so good, give u 3 months ML that is actually 13 weeks, i only have 12 weeks ley....im tinking of taking ML only 2 to 3 days b4 EDD so that can have more leave when bb is out..just that i'm like a walking zombie with panda eyes at work nowadays wif all the sleepless nites...hee..

Hi Kin,

Kin,
Congrat.. can see your baby soon. I also wish to see my baby soon if not everyday very worried for him after watching those documentary ar channel U & 8 about Autism kids, baby born with defect etc..
Been praying before i go to sleep for a overall healthy baby. My HB says i think too much.
 
Jurong Gal,
U are not the only one that haven pack ya bag. I haven even buy front open PJ...
But getting more anxious about the process of delivery.. don't know what will happen ( me first time )
Never stay in hospital b4 , scare..
 
Jurong gal

happy.gif

Me now orr bak ka.. so better hide at home 2 weeks before EDD, I dun wanna scare my son.. aaha
 
Hi Kin,
Congrat,Can c yr baby soon, dont worry too much lah, 2.7kg is ok weight liao..! Do keep us updated.

Sandy, me too watch liao also keep thinking of bad stuff. keep tell myself dont worry too much...: )

Aiyo so suay ,me down with flu n cough..do yr tink i cant eat the medi from GP or should i go KKH? now 37wk liao...dont noe save to take GP medi anot leh....
 
Seems like most mummies here are having difficulty sleeping. Me too! I can't breathe when I'm lying on my back. And it's a back-breaking feat just to turn in bed. Not to mention the hourly toilet trips.
A few more weeks to go... jia you, jia you!

Kin,
Have a safe delivery and try not to worry too much about BB's weight, ok?

zita,
For convenience, u can just go to a nearby GP. The doctor will know which medicine is safe for pregnant ladies. Usually it's the most basic types which all GP clinics will have.
 
sandy
hehe..me too leh...watched chU the documentary show...can hv nitemares at nite...now everyday oso worried this and that...but didnt tell my hubby lah..he sure say i siao...
 
sunshine
me too buay tahan the backache...and the toilet trips...somemore hor...to get up from bed..really a torture...worse thing was...at times cant get back to sleep after toilet trip...wah piang..that one hor...torture manz...eyes big big see ceiling then hear hubby snore...really feel like giving him a kick...
 
Hong,
Today i did the pre-registration at the hospital.On the day of admission, remember to bring the receipt that was issued when we paid the gynae the deposi.it is a large sum and the clinic issused a formal receipt. i kept the rest of the small receipts but the nurse was telling me to just bring this big receipt(for me it was abt $800+). They will deduct the ful amt of the package on the day of delivery including claiming a max of $450. After which, any balance(to return or top up) will be settled on day of discharge.

Placenta : my placenta not matured yet. just that gynae didn't know the reason too. wil only know when bb is out. So now, keeping fingers crossed and hope that bb will be fine.smile.
 
Zita27,
Better get well before D day. Take care!

Mummies,
I get very bad pain at the hip/leg join! Can hardly walk to go to the toilet at night. Walk like old grannies like that
sad.gif
 
red
i think what kin meant is when ard 4 mths.if u want to book the gynae then u will need to pay deposit for his package..some pays $800...some $500 bah...depending on ur gynae's package
 
Hey sAndy and dsiitan, u are not alone, I also had the same thinking as u!! Hahaha.. but i dint tell my hubby coz later i get scolding from him.

I seen my gynae today and was given a jab again! He say next week come back and he will do culture for me. Anyone knows what's culture?

I haven pack maternity bag and also have buy the button front PJs... BB clothes are all over the place... Sterilizer have use citric acid yet. Playpen not set up.. everything is not done!
 
Hi, All Mummies

I goin to induce 2morrow, I can't tolerate the pain plus furthermore, got pinkish discharge, my gynae nurses worried tat I am dilating.

Will update all of u when I deliver.

All my bed, maternity bag and baby clothes all done, juz waiting for his arrival
 
Hi missmoon,

Thanks for the info. Will go and check it out. These days, I've been sneaking out to town during lunch time to do some shopping. Hee....buying find sometime for myself before baby comes out!

My PD is also YY Yip. I hope he's good but i also notice his clinic is super packed on a weekend, it's like a war zone!!

Poppy,

I do have pains at the hip joints. It's worse when you lean on the bed. I read that our joints are now loosened, in preparation for delivery, thats why. So if you exercise, need to be extra careful.

Li May, all the best to you too!!!
 
Paraniodmummy,
I think the test is strep B test.
My gynea never mention about this test yet , his nurses only tell me to keep my activity low cos he is away... lol I still jump & run a bit sometime so they kinda scare of me..
Mummies,
how big is your your tummy now... alot of ppl say my tummy is so big as though i am bearing twin.
haha later really got twin.. the other one got hidden.. lol
 
Hi Poppy,
I try to avoid all kinds of heaty food and concentrates alot on water, fruits and vegetables. Also reduce alot on Carbohydrates. Try not to force when you are doing your biz. As that will worsen the case. Other than that, no other remedies liao.

Sandy!!!
You still jump and run?! Careful careful!!!

Li May!!!
May you have a smooth delivery! Your baby will be in your arms in no time! Ooooohhh.... I miss that feeling once more! Though I somehow have a big one with me liao. Ha ha ha.....

Paranoidmummy,
Like you, I haven't pack my bag. Honestly saying, I don't know what to pack yet. Ha ha ha. I totally forgot how was it like when I first went for delivery. What I know is the bag was already in the car when I'm 30 weeks pregnant then!

Hong,
Hrm.... What is the bank book for? Do we have to prepare our bank book? What a good idea, of printing out the chinese name and stick it on! Why didn't I think of it! My boy's name looks horrigible on his cert!

My next appt with Gynae supposed to be this Sat. But then, it won't be my usual Gyn as my gyn will be on leave. His brother will be taking over. Somehow don't feel comfortable. Should I change the appt to next week?
 
Angeline,
gynea to me is very personal thing.. like u only let your HB see your body. If u really feel uncomfortable.. change appointment....
I also haven pack bag...
The Bank book is for u to claim the Baby Bonus of 3K... it will be given to u by 3 or 4 instalment.
 
Mummies,
do u think i should buy my breast pump now ? My sister-in- law have 1 but i think using own personal one is better and more hygiene.. what do u think ?
 
Hong,
Thanks for the tips about "printing the chinese name and paste on the BC. Actually i did type out Ally chinese name but her daddy dont know can paste on it. So my ugly handwriting showed on Ally birth cert forever liao...:p

Li May,
All the best and take care!

Mummies,
Shall we exchange our HP no. so if anyone pop can sms each others??? Dont think after gave birth will online so soon ma..
 
Angeline,
if the gynae is just seeing our tummy i think is ok. We are all near to our EDD, best to check that baby is ok. however, up to u.

Many parents do not know they can print out the name and paste it on BC. I told my hubby to ask the pple and they said ok. We are very surprised that their system cannot print chinese word althot we have chinese name on our IC.

Li May,
All the best to u. Have a smooth delivery.

Kin,
Placenta not mature then kind of strange that baby not growing. Will be better to delivery the baby than keeping it and let the baby weight drop. THanks for the items to bring to hospital. Keep us updated!
 
Li May
Feeling so excited for you.. remember to keep us update yah??

Fruitee,
I don't know whether u can do it w/o bank book cos they need to verify the account no. Unless u try giving them the ATM machine reciept...
 
sandy/fruitee
but hor..is only u wanna register the birth cert during ur stay there then need to bring the bank book rite?? i oso dunno...hehee...even though #2...but 1st time claiming bb bonus..hehe
 
dsiitan
depends ley.. sometimes he will shift abit then continue his snores... at times, he will wake up & ask me why I kick him.. ahhaha... guess depends on his mood of sleep!

Jazzy
Maybe you wouldnt wan to take too early or wat.. just try to work out something u are comfortable loh.. guess at this time, for me, the earlier I can take I just take cos getting heavier... & of cos lazier liao..

dsiitan & Sandy
cos I last time went to apply passcard then no bank book liao... + hor joint account also no bank book one ley... think I better bring my bank statements in case!
happy.gif
Wait they dun give me my baby bonus I faint! ahhah
 
fruitee
haha...wont one lah..how can they dun give u the bb bonus...? u bring ur bank statement..as long got ur name and acc number...can liao...cos some acc dun issue bankbook one...like passcard acc..no bankbook...
 
Jazzy,
I also dun know how the hearing test is done.
U can decide on the spot, may be asked ur hubby to ask or follow the person to see how it was conducted before deciding?

Fruitee,
Yah like sandy mention, they may want it for verification.
 
Desitian/Fruitee,
You need bank book if u want to register your baby birth and claim the baby bonus together. Else the goverment will send u a letter a week later asking u to claim. U still need your bank information here...
By the way, print all your documents ( marriage cert , HB & your IC etc ) just in case..
 
sandy/fruitee
aiyo...wanna take $$ from them oso so difficult..wahaha....thks for info..never claim b4...my #1..lugi...hahaha
 
dsiitan

Sandy
Thanks for the info.. guess must be more kiasu abit.. everything also print a copy.. hahah...
 


Fruitee,
Yes print everything.. I already print everything and put it in a nice folder. I sure know my blur HB will forget this & that although he is only coming 30 this year.
