Kelly I see, I find that I'm paying alot for the drugs that she wants me to take. From vitamins to calcium to DHA to iron pills, I've to down like 7-8 pills every morning and to think I'm the sort who have to break up my paracetamol into pieces to eat, that was quite traumatising for me initially. I've stopped taking those pills last week, think as long as I eat responsibly should be fine.

Ha Kelly, good question. Actually at my 32 weeks scan, we found out that my baby has developed a cyst in her body, about 4.4cm big, scared the hell out of me. I was advised to visit a specialist for an OB scan to find out the location in her body. This specialist did a detailed scan for me and luckily he said that its a functional cyst in her womb, not rare but not common too, usually caused by mummy's hormones, it will usually go away after birth. The specialist did very detailed scanning thus he was able to tell me the estimated weight of my baby back then. When I visited ester ng during my wk 35th check, she told me not to be bothered about baby's weight. Not sure if she's too lazy to measure or just thinks that its not necessary. I will try my luck again this week. Btw, during my last visit, found out that baby's cyst has become smaller, thank god! I come to realize that there's really no guarantee and must treasure every moment. Hope my baby will continue to stay strong and healthy.

Hi Leia,
Kotex Maternity Loop - 26cm
Kotex Maternity Adhesive - 28cm
Ha ha ... I am packing my hospital bag now.
Wah ha ha ... I bathed and washed my hair with e herbal + ginger water every day!
I slept in air-conditioned room in my longs too.
Ke ke ke ... Heat gets to me very easily in terms of my temper as well as rashes.
I think I will get whacked by PNB even harder if I follow the strict confinement rules laid down in our grandmothers' days.
Hygiene is also a big factor to me & I cannot withstand unwashed hair as my hair gets oily easily.
As for the rheumatism part, old folks shared that it kicks in only much later ... perhaps in our forties?
Yeah, as Kelly has put it, we have enough concerns for today already.
Let tomorrow worries for itself.
A grouchy & stressed mummy can't produce much milk either. Hee hee ...
Make sure we rest well & eat well!

hi, maybe it's contractions, or 'fake contractions'... hahah dunno why. see what happens. my EDD is 4 aug.... gynae actually predicted i would hv pop anytime last week... but till now... no sign. did CTG last week also no sign of contractions. the final weeks are really tiresome.... yesterday i finally gave in, and got a lady to come and help me clean the house. so good to hv a clean house without me soaking in sweat and having backache.
think i'll keep her for the confinement period and for the first few months after i gave birth. just hope i can cope ok with a 3 year old and a newborn bb.

Good luck nurbates! I can empathise with the pain you are suffering! imagine, in no time, you can sleep on your tummy and in a few months time possibly wear your slim clothes again!

Hi ladies
Today is my last day of working day.
Will be on annual leave for 7 days followed by my maternity leave. Trying to clear annual leave as my company dun allow our leaves to be carried forward to next yr. Well so much using fan or aircon during confinement. I think I am also an aircon person especially during confinement period can't wash hair that often. My dad mentioned staying in aircon room should be ok. As when we r in hospital during labour also in aircon room. hehehe. My elder sis also just given birth in May this yr. She is not an aircon person, but she told me after u eat, u will be perspiring like hell so she always hide in the bedroom to keep her comfortable during her confinement. BTW, dun seem to see posting from Dino and the other ladies who suppose to pop early aug. Maybe they have already pop.
I will be going for checkup today. Mine EDD is 13th Aug. I doubt I will pop early as I dun have any symptoms yet. Next week onwards I will surf net thru home.
Hi nurbates
Congrats to u. U will be seeing yr baby soon.

WOW 38 sure long enf! I use sofy in e past for my menses n not bad too.. was thinking for e 1st week i will be using maternity pad den will switch to those heavy flow nite pad (cos it seems more comfy to me rather than those thick maternity pad!)
Was reading through e book "What to expect when expecting". Cleaniess is v impt after delivery esp if any infection occur wont do us good. Advisable for us to change our pad esp for a start regularly abt every 2-4hrs depending on the flow as what e book mention.
cant keep having nitemares n jitters liao.. thinking of e pain n also hw will bb like. Dono any other ways to make mi feel more relax. WAnted to go shopping as stress relieve BT seems so difficult to walk longer hrs nowadays!
Wow now all of us are prepared popping out of bb.. sure cant wait to hear more stories coming up!

hello
yep posts v slow today.
hey noe and augbaby, guess what? i'm going to take photos with benjamin this sunday
hi peddie
maybe a good gal friend? don worry it'll all work out.
an ang moh colleague was just telling me, shd discourage your husband from looking down, he should just look up, or it'll steer him off sex for a long time. haha. but i think i'll ask my hubby to look down, so can see the crowning, mentally preparing him as much as possible.
anyone got good books to recommend, or videos? since i didnt go for antenatal classes, found good info on the net.. though nothing v graphic.

Hi Honeyhaven,
I am still around, haven't pop yet. I started my maternity leave, so do a lot of cleaning n packing at home. Last sunday, i had the mucous plug with brownish to pink discharge. But still no strong contraction yet. I still have those contractions, tightening every 10-15mins, but not those that were unbearable, so still waiting. I told my gynae, she told me to wait for stronger contractions. My nxt appt is tomorrow.
hi Kelly,
I am having thick discharge since last sunday. Do you experience that before you pop?
Hi Rain,
How are u, any signs?

pupsandcups, I am also made an appt with Benjamin this sun, at 3:30pm, hope kids aren't too grouchy to smile....tks to noe's recommendation, think he's been getting more calls!
As for not looking, i feel all husbands should look to understand the pain! doubt it turns them off....look at me my husband looked from the 1st to the 2nd, and now its a third....the only thing is that he looked like he was abt to pass out the first time...i doubt I'd be brave enough to look tho? we don't get to see anything behind that cover!

Hi White_lady
Not really more discharge means going to give birth soon. I just thinking after the discharge is there any chance for 'show', water bag may burst after the discharge or more intense contraction after that.

ya, epi is insert thru the spine... but not sure abt how r they going to inject the GA in me.....
ya, gynae suggest half GA... he just told me it is less painful & is safer than full GA... he did not compare it with c-sect with epi.... anyway, my gynae dont recommend epi as he said there is lot of side effects....
yes, 11 august is at 39th week... cos for c-section, need to be done abt 2 week before the EDD....

Hi Wanli,
Saw ur post in my thread and I also try to pm u but u dun accept pm.
Yesterday I went for emergency consultation in Dr Wong clinic cos I have a lot of white mucus discharge and funny feeling on my lower adominal. The whole lower adominal harden up like a dough. She din expect me to have such early contraction and it is abt 5mins per contraction but no pain. She told me this is Braxton Hicks contraction and it is caused by my strep B infection.
Dr Wong asked me if i wanna my baby to pop by early Oct cos by then I should be in 36 weeks already. I prefer natural... cos hear inducing is painful then natural contraction. But depends... if my condition bad, I will go for inducing. Expensive baby I have. Perhaps, dr wong too pretty and thats y my bb wanna see her often. Lolz.
Oh yah, if u wanna pm me, send to my email, [email protected]. I dunno how to turn on pm. sorry abt it. I still persuading my hubby to let me use epidural... he wanna me try without first... doubt i can tahan the pain, LOL
