Congrats Li May & MTDT: Glad to hear that both of you are ok.
Sandy, my tummy is getting low since week 28. Having been feeling the weight, and got a hard time walking and sleeping. So in the weekend, I just lie on the sofa the whole day.
Would like to kow what happens if have piles? Need any surgery? Is it very common to have this during pregnancy?

Hi ladies, haven't posted for a long time (but have been reading everybody's comments). I bought MP NB diapers at NTUC Thomson Plaza. In fact, they are having promotion now, so the promoter gave me a leaflet with 2 X $2 discount. So it cost $15.80 after discount for 52 pcs (jumbo pack). The leaflet also says this jumbo pack is only available at certain hypermarts.

Sandy,
I oso can feel bb head near my pelvic bone area.. last sat visit gynae said bb head still down, oredi in the correct birth position and face in.. but still not engaged.. just hope that he can remained at this position so that anytime when he's ready to come out I can have smooth natural delivery..
Whenever I walk and stand longer, i feel aching at the lower back.. nowadays can't even do ironing cos I cannot stand long.. even when sit longer also got backache at lower waist.. but at this stage my tummy still small small.. last sunday went to Foo Hua medical hall to buy ingredients for confinement the shop assistant oso cannot believe that my EDD is next month..
By the way, I've tried the papaya soup using the recipe I posted here last week. I feel that the serving is quite big, can last for half a day just to drink this soup with no other drinks.. I used black bean instead of ground nut and it taste okie.. I feel that this recipe is better than Mrs Wong's recipe cos the fish is pre-fried and can smell the fragrance when cook the soup..

Jasline,
I have piles since 28 weeks onwards.. gynae advised not to remove the piles at pregnancy stage cos most likely it will come back when u are going into labour.. so she advised me to wait until after give birth then consider the surgery if necessary.. My MIL did not remove the piles after she gave birth to her last child.. so the piles with her more that 40 years liao.. hee..

oh yeah.. one advice for those who are going to cook papaya soup during confinement.. if possible get the fish meat/fish tail instead of whole fish.. after cooked for 3 hours my fishes all torn apart and tiny bones scattered everywhere and mix with other ingredients in the soup when i stirred and scoup up the soup..
joline

dsiitan,
yeah yeah.. fish bone oso can.. my fren said if get from wet market $2 can get quite a lot liao.. imagine i get whole threadfin fish less than 500g already cost me more than $5 liao.. but hor.. how to fried the fish bone?? think the taste will be different liao hor..
To me the taste is ok without salt leh.. i did not even season the fish when i fried them yesterday.. But i added some ginger shred when fried the fish to get rid of the smell.. i think the taste is upto individual taste bud liao.. if u find it too plain can always add some salt once the soup is almost done..
lollypop,
dsiitan is right.. When Mrs Wong introduced this soup during the antenatal class she was so proud as it is a very special soup to help mothers to increase their milk supply..

dsiitan,
my fren told me whenever she feel that her milk supply goes low her mum will cook papaya soup for her more often.. so i think it's upto individual to decide liao.. hee..
hong mentioned that can start drinking this soup now to get our body system to prepare for milk supply liao.. i guess no harm trying it now lor..

Elective Csec (Spinal): $1035
(Package - 4 bedded 2 days) but had a auto upgrade to 2 bedded and deduct 1 day since original package for csec is 3 days.
out of package items: $1148
this will include the "induced" cost like using of delivery ward, Medicine used like drip, VE etc. however not all are related to "induced" cost. according to the nurse, only about $300 - $400 will be saved if i had gone straight to csec
Dr Charges:

Gynae delivery: $1455
Total bill for mom: $3995
Medisave deduction: $2650

Baby package: $308 (2days)
Out of package items: $95
PD charges: $220
Total bill for baby: $615
Medisave deduction: $484

lollypop,
i think we can adjust the qty proportionally to the amount stated in the recipe.. the one i bought is medium size.. the green one is better..
MTDT,
wow... so the best is still go for natural if possible hor.. c-sec really cost a lot..
I heard that the papaya soup served by TMC using those ripe (red) papaya.. is that true? If I dun remember wrongly Mrs wong did mention that the milk will only come in about 3 to 6 days after the delivery.. so u still feeding bb colustrum?heard that milk supply will come in soon if you let bb latch on very often..
misaryeo,
oh.. but many said big bb is easier to take care leh.. i feel that ur bb weight is much better.. my bb too small liao.. and gynae said he will be short.. inherit the short genes from hubby's family.. haha..

Hi,
Congrats to Li May and MTDT!
Hi paranoidmummy,
I dun hv contraction as induce halfway, realised Baby stressed with CTG scan. Actually my condition is quite similar to MTDT, only dilate 1cm only, so dun hv serious contraction lor...oso baby got umblical cord round his neck....
BTW, does anyone knows how will we be billed if the baby is not delivered by our gynae, but by another stand-in gynae har? I'm really worried that my baby will come out earlier leh....gynae still on leave...
Also, it seems that TMC is serving their special soup as standard menu items liao...at least that's wat my sis (delivered in May) toe me, also I also see lots of "tun zong" on the trolley durng meal time....and yes, my sis toe me the soup is really nice

MTDT, thanks for the breakdown in bill. Seems like its quite reasonable for C-section. I will be delivering in GlenE, i wonder how much it will cost. Hopefully I dont have much prbs in BF-ing coz e LC there only work on weekdays and my EDD happens to be on a weekend.
Dont worry abt milk supply, the more u engage the more milk it will produce.. so just let yr BB drink whatever u have first loh. How are u feeding yr BB now since you've got sore nipples.
Gals, i very scare leh! After reading e posts on those who have popped i really scare mine will pop early too catching me w surprise.I everything not ready!

Hi jazzyjas,
My edd is 16 Jul. Like u, my gynae also only use ultrasound to monitor.
Hi Sandy,
Wah, if baby comes out earlier, than we lugi lor. Cos we'll still only see doc once every 2 wks.
My baby still very high up making me breathless leh...
Hi daisyduck,
My CL will stay for only 28 days cos I'l spend 2 days in hospital during labour.
Baby's Weight:
After hearing Li May's account, I find that sometimes baby's weight is not accurate leh...her doc's estimation & actual weight is SO SO much different!!
Herbs for bathing:
My mum has already bought 28pks of Da Feng Cao for my confinement bathing. 1pk per day.

ANgeline, mustela's cream must be quite good loh that's y yr boy clears his rash so fast =p
I read somewhere that the nappy cream has to be like a barrier to the bb's skin, else even if u apply normal cream it is as good as not applying coz the cream gets absorb and when bb's buttock is soiled the problems comes back again, so i barrier cream sort of prevents the "bacteria" from the soil to get to BB's skin..
