edksd,
if your gynae said it is healthy, it should nt be of any concern. my due date is this sunday, that was why my gynae checked the amniotic fluid.
just wondering, are all of you at work or at home?
for me, today is my first day of leave. kinda relaxing, taking naps whenever I feel tired.

Edksd, don worry so much k...let ur gynae worry that for u. They will be able to advice u what u should do. I heard that cutting down salt will reduce swelling.
Gals, is it true that walking up the stairs will induce labour? My colleague (experience mom) adviced me against walking up the stairs. As my co toilet is at half level, so each time i visit the loo, have to walk down the stairs, then up. My colleague is telling me to walk down to the lower level, then take lift up to my own level.

edksd,
I remember that we're only 1 day apart in EDD. I have had swollen feet since 3 weeks ago liao. It's normal in pregnancy. I took a lot of banana, that supposedly contain rich source of potassium to reduce swelling but it doesn't help at all. So I suppose it's natural, it develops from all the extra weight we're carrying. I'm like you too, big thigh, big backside and my aunt told me, with that kind of body build, it's easier to deliver. So don't be afraid. I think 3kg is purely estimation. I wouldn't be afraid if i was you. At most they give you episiotomy when you want to labor naturally lor.. hehehe.

Hi Melissa,
Don't worry about the joint pain. I had frequent bowel movements last week, but this week seems fine. I am having early delivery cos gynea going away for conference, my EDD is on 19 Sept. I think the joint swelling is not an indication that delivery is imminent.
More definite signs will include baby's head being engaged, dilation of the cervix and expulsion of the mucus plug.

oh yes, im definitely not thinking of getting the bb out now. gynae suggested wk38.
my gynae told me she's talking abt c-section to me now so tt im more or less prepared for such option. rather than wait till last min then tell me sorry i think u've to go for c-sect becos of xxxxx....
i do appreciate it and im really praying hard tt bb will want to come out on his own naturally w/o induction or c-section.
i wanted v much to try natural birth.... instead of c-section....

Edksd,
Oic.. well.. then monitor your progress until your next checkup then.
Your mild swelling is due to water retention. And it's like a sign of labour lor. But to cure water retention, drink more water and lessen the salt intake. It will probably helps.

Hi Melissa,
Thanks! Tell me about it.... my boss is pretty unhappy that I am going off this week, depite me clocking 10-12 hour days everyday throughout my pregnancy, no MC and working up right up till the day before delivery. Damn sianz.... She was like "Aren't you supposed to be due only in third week Sept? We will be very short-handed you know?...."
Well, I told her about the early delivery weeks ago, and she knew I was pregnant since Jan this year and she has 2 kids herself. Well, some bosses are just plain horrible.....
