augbb,
only when contractions become very regular, like it comes every 5-10mins interval, then 3-5mins interval, then it's a concern. call ur gynae ASAP then.

morning gals!
went for my checkup yest. gained 3plus kg since last visit. now total weight gain is abt 8 kg. doc finally told me bb's weight. 1.25 to 1.3kg as at wk29. i thought it was ok but later doc says the growth speed is reducing. Based on detailed scan, my bb is supposed to be m or l size and is expected to develop according to that speed. now according to my doc, my bb is slightly smaller than m size so have to monitor my diet and make sure I sleep on my side.
will be going for growth scan in another 2 weeks to make sure bb's growth is ok. anyone with this problem?

hi erin00,
wat's a growth scan? i heard another mummy mention abt it but blur blur abt it. isnt it e same as wat ur gynae usually does? take measurements of e head circumference, abdominal circumference n femur length then use these 3 measurements 2 obtain e bb's estimated weight.
or is growth scan something else?

hi augbb,
ya, supposed to be m to l size based on detailed scan. she showed me the graph yesterday. supposed to follow the curve (from the day of detailed scan onwards) but now bb's weight is slightly below the curve (for wk 29). not that bb is not healthy but she's worried that the bb is not growing as much as expected. bb's growth is only like as at wk 27. need to look into my diet. cut down on carbo and eat more of protein to see if it helps.

hi augbb,
no la. not so worried abt the weight but rather with the growing rate. hope will not slow down any more as this shows that the bb is not absorbing a lot of nutrients. gynae sounded concerned though.
my hb and i both small-built leh. just that she followed the potential growth of the bb based on the chart. ai ya, now i also sian. think just eat more nutritious food and less junk
can't sleep on back cos there is a vein or something that carries nutrients to bb. if pressed on it for too long, the flow of nutrients to bb will be restricted.

Hi Erin,
I went for my gynae checkup last week and he just confirmed mine would eb a small sized baby according to the growth chart. My baby has been following the S size chart since beginning. He did not mention anything on detailed growth scan but he did mention baby must move along the curve, it would be fine.
When we sleep on our back, heard it;s best to crop up our legs then oxygen will flow more in our body.
I put on 2.7kg during the past 5 weeks and have been eating beef and a little durian occasionally. Think this time round, baby absorbs quite a fair bit of nutrients compared to the last visit where I out on 3+kg in 3 weeks+. Perhaps you can try eating more protein food like beef?

Hi Erin,
Hugz! dun worry! things will be ok! try sleeping on your side... and wake up at night to turn to another side before turning back to the left side.. will help if u have extra quilts/extra soft cushions supporting lower back also.. I get the same aches, but for me, i put extra thin mattress and i take my spare quilt, fold it up and use it to support my lower back.. it helps.. at night, i spend like 60% of my time on my left side and 30% of my time on my right side.... so far, it seems to work ok for me, since end week 27, my baby weighs 1.1kg.. I am conscious enough to wake up and slowly turn around in the night, cos i scared baby can't get her nutrients..
It must be working, cos every morning, even if i take a small glass of warm milk or wholemeal snack before i sleep, i wake up super hungry in the morning!

Hi Butter,

Hi Erin,
Dun worry...everything will turn out just fine. Actually my BB also weighs lesser than yours at 29 wks leh...plus the fact that me and my hubby are in BIG size category...hahaha
Since my Doc said it's normal, i dun think much about it, trust him bcos i know him personally and our own instinct. Bcos my BB growth was doubled from the previous month.
Butter,
I also wake up in the middle of the night to drink milk, and it's pretty often I must say...hee. If not bcos of my very bad reflux and heartburn I would be eating even more...so it's a blessing in disguise?? Haiz...
Hi mommies,
I've heard from my friend who's working in TMC that she came across a few patients who went through Hypno-birthing had really shorter labor... Anyone attending such classes here, do you find it useful?

Hi mummies,
I think sleeping on left side really help for baby growing. Remember my baby is on quite small size on 24 wk, then i trying to sleep on my left more often, will only change to right side if very tired on left. Don't lying on back too often, it is not good for both baby and mother.
HI chrys & Dino,
V-check is using hand. Actually I don't know how to describe the pain, it pain until I don't know where is the pain. but doctor said the contraction pain is like menses cramp. If u always got the pain should tell Dr, see whether is real contraction or not. She give me medicine which help to stop the contraction and need to eat 3 times a day. My next appt is next friday.

Hi erin,
I think probably its still too early to gauge whether ur baby growth is slow or not. Supposingly u also didnt gain too much weight.
Juz went for my scan yest at 30wks n my baby was 1.766kg but i already gain 10-11kg for the whole pregnancy. My previous scan was probably around 27wks n my baby was only 0.9+kg.

hi gals,
thanks for ur encouragement. me also hungry very fast. guess i take a lot of carbo food (fries, doughnuts, cakes, etc), that's why i gained a lot of weight. will wait n see if bb's growth rate is really declining or not.
think most prob will be going for natural birth cos doc says bb is already in head down position.
fiona n jasmine,
r u thinking of hypno birthing? sounds interesting but think it's rather uncommon in singapore. only saw it in the news a couple of months back. think it's the 1st case in NUH or singapore.
ningyo,
wah, ur bb grows very fast.

Hi Augbaby,
I am using a playpen but it's not that low till near the floor lei... I have another level whereby there s foam mattress and I have stackd another babysafe mattress on top of it so the height is just right. And mine comes with a free bassinet on top of the playpen.
Hi Erin,
How did you post your ticker here?
Hi Wanli,
I have also been sleeping on the left as this is my usual position but baby is still small size
when you sleep on the left, would a bit of the left tummy be pressed on the bed as well?

Hi white lady,
My colleague also recommend the Pigeon steriliser. Its at $87 include $20+ worth of 'freebies' 2 milk bottle and a pack of cleaner.
Can buy from Robinson or Takashimaya.
Do not buy at any price more than $87.
There're are 2 types of Avent steriliser, 1 is with digital display of the time called IQxx and the other without.Think the lower price 1 is at $169 b4 20% discount and include $40+ of 'freebies' milk bottles etc.
The sterilising time for both Pigeon n lower end Avent is the same at 8mins. The digital display IQxx Avent is 6mins.
Hope it helps.

hi white lady,
there are quite a no. of sterilisers in the market but i think avent and pigeon are the more recommended ones. I bought avent (not the digital one) and another pigeon steriliser (not the usual one. it's another type that can only sterilise 2 bottles). The avent one costs $135 with free gifts whereas the pigeon one costs me abt $30 plus after discount.
sales asst told me that avent is made in uk whereas pigeon is made in china. pigeon's base is hot plate (not fully covered) so might have to descale the base more often than avent. but hor, the general feedback I get from friends is that both are equally gd and pigeon is cheaper.
hope this helps.
