Gd morning ladies! its FRIDAY! YIPPIE!
Rzz,
wat was the exercise to encourage ur baby to turn? was it on all fours? when gynae said my baby was in breech position at 28 wks, i diligently did it almost daily to encourage him to turn. and i think it really helped.
but cannot tahan the hands on the bed for so long lah. after say 5 mins, i will use lazy position, tt means my hands will b folded, resting on a pillow (my head will either b watching tv or i turn & lie on my side). then my bum will b like super high. dunno u get wat i mean anot. hahaha
Vivian
am trying not to over worry the baby's weight since bbgrace and ur SIL case oso miscalculate the baby weight by alot.
U can take bbgrace's advise to get new funnels or quickly get a new one. else if ur frens/coll gg to buy u a gift, dun b afraid to tell them u need a breast pump. at least they can buy u sthg useful.
Jenny
i got use sanitary pads, but hor aft not using for 9 mths, i 4get how it feels and looks like liao. hahahahaha
yest i opened the netted one, i think i prefer this as like wat u say, feel more fresh and our discahrge gets absorb & cant see much. 4 cotton ones, quite gross at times. hahahahaa
me gg CWP to check out again aft work.
bbgrace
i agree wif u. too many flower baskets v wasted hor? more practical items like chix essence will b gd. hvg like 2 flower baskets r enuff to lighten the rm. i love flowers oso.
i think it will b the only time i see so many flowers bah. hahahaha
Wendy
Selina is right. Heard Shangri-la's buffet is gd. But its like $68+++/pax and they serve oysters etc delicacies, not suitable 4 preggies leh. but there r other spreads lah. so mayb u can call them to find out more.
mango

Vivian,
Depends on how you "trust" the owner of the breast pump. For me, I definate prefer a new one cos I feel breast pump is like panty, very personal thingy lor. My colleagues have been sharing the Avent Manual Pump.
Most pumps have the milk backflow problem. I found out Ameda pump does not have this backflow problem. Hence, if dun need to use, can re-sell or lend ppl, but advise the "new owner" to change a new set of funnel, valve, bellow and bottles. The motor of the Ameda pump and the tube that links to the funnel will not come in contact with milk. Hence, you may wanna consider.
mango16,
For kotex maternity pad that comes in loop, yes, you need a string to tie around your waist. Last time, women use this kind of pad during their menses cos no invention of double side tape haha...
babygrace,
Think not only need to change the funnel for PIS, but also the something that is near the motor cos that comes contact with milk, forgot the name... I read just few days back from an article that Medela Distributor said this "something" is attached to the motor, cannot change one.

Vivian,
Ha, that is the article I read few days back lor. That "something" is diaphragm.
Extracted from the article from Medela announcemnet:
Medela strongly discourages mothers from re-using or re-selling previously owned breast pump equipment. The Medela Pump In Style Breast pump has an internal diaphragm that cannot be removed, replaced, or fully sterilized. Therefore, the risk of cross-contamination associated with re-using a previously owned pump such as the Pump In Style cannot be totally dismissed.

ya, agreed, especially those pump where the milk will backflow. My colleagues passed me the Avent Manual Pump, used and shared by few of them lor. I never dare to use. Bought a new one for myself instead.

Ladies, I've been have dizzy spell these few days. Dunno why leh. Some say i might lack iron, but i take multi-vit. Thenlast nite has a scare. As I was walking home, i felt a drop of water in between legs. Not sure if it's water from the ground that splash up or was it my waterbag leaking. Then i started having contraction on and off throughout the nite. But this morning wake up everything seem to be normal. Well, I'll be seeing gynae tomorrow. hope I won't go into premature labour. Cos i'll only be 34wks by Monday...Now just gotta have more rest.
I think we should not worry too much. Since so many things are beyond our control. I guess the best we can do for our bbs is to stay calm and eat well.
Selina, if i'm still unwell tomorrow, i may not join you ladies as I believe I have been too tired this whole week due to the move and travelling to work on public transport. I'll sms you on Sat after gynae visit to confirm my attendance.

My fren also passed me a used pump, I don't think I'll use it too. But too pai seh to pass it back to her now. But should be ok if I tell her I don't intend to pump since I'm not working right and i already have a manual pump myself. She has an unused pump, the MIS, and asked if I want to buy from her. But her daughter already 4yr-old, so i wonder how long has that pump been kept so the parts also dunno functioning well or not. And no more warranty, to buy something this ex ($700)without warranty doesn't make sense leh. Now I'm so stuck, cos i don';t want to lie to her. So will prob not buy a pump since I really don't need it now. Until such time when i'm really joining the work force again then I buy ba.
Hi Babybenmen
Cheer up! Think of seeing yr little one real soon. You will be in good hands as yr gynap knows best. Take care!
Hi Crystallized,
Yeah..the excercise is on all 4 fours, but I am much too tired and lazy to do all these while. After hearing after you have mentioned, from tonight onwards, I will try to do the excercise at least for 5-7 mins daily to encourage the turn of my baby.

ya lor ya lor..agree with jENNY, 4 YEARS still sell..aiyo , If i were her , i will give man .
Babybenmen,
induced may be the best solution but wat is your baby weight now ?or maybe you can ask for stay in the hospital to drag for another week or two. I heard a few cases like that. One case is the disruption of water bag (think so) and the other is fluid too low.My frds stay in and the baby come out two week later . Pls keep posted of your condition.
As for the gd buffet ladies , last time i used to eat at the grand plaza hotel , not bad , price v reasonable at $30 /32 nett. Serve duran prata and oyster and sashimi( but cannot eat)so save for after delivery.
Another good usual hang out place is the holiday hotel @serangoon rd . Level 2 one , serve chinese food but need 3 ppl. This one is suitable cos all foods serving warm as a le cart buffet .Worth but need 3 pax to go in. Everytime i go , i will get few kaki then we will eat to our fullest . Good wood park serve good tim sum buffet also . me and my hubby will go for tim sum after shopping . Maybe you can find me there hee...

babygrace,
Dun think by changing the funnels helped coz as Jenny have highlighted in the article, there are parts that are not changable.
Think to be safe and KS, got to buy a new one better.
Crystallized,
Yah hor, maybe I can ask my close friends to buy a new pump for me. Actually, I quite like the Ameda one leh. I see how lah. Thanks for the idea.
Wendy,
Thanks. Dun think I want to change anything for the PIS since I borrow it from my colleague's wife and he told me that his wife want it back after I used it. So think to save trouble, I already told my hb that I am going to get a new one.
Coral,
Take care leh. Dun worry. Think you over-tired yourself liao. Rest more and dun exert yourself now. As for the water, if it is your waterbag leaking, dun worry, you will know one... So if the next day everything seems normal, most probably, it is not your waterbag burst and the contraction you felt might just be BH. Dun worry ok?

Hi May,
My appt just started once every 2 weeks as I am 36 wks tis sat. before that, I was only once every 4 weeks. Only my last one is 3 weeks once. I also not sure abt this thing coz some mummies here, like Selina, will start once a week when they are 36 wks liao.. so depends on your gynae too.
If you think you dun feel comfortable with the duration, you can always discuss with your doc, esp. he say bb not growing well.
As for hospital room, I have pre-booked my 1-bedder in MAH liao. For TMC, my SIL is staying there now, she took the 4bedder but autoupgrade to 2 bedder as they are running out of 4 bedders. You might want to consider that.

Vivian,
Since your colleague wife wants back the PIS, then no point buying the parts. Later return, no more motor, No.2 you still got to buy new pump. Might as well invest one now. I kinda regret I din invest in an electric pump for No.1. Now buy le, after using then I see how, either sell away or give away the motor. Depends on how long I will be using.
May,
If I remember correctly, From 34 to 36 weeks is once in a fortnite. From 36 weeks onward, is weekly. But I think depends on gynae's practise also.
I haven't book, still waiting for TMC to send me the letter for booking. Gynae will give me the admission letter on next Mon when I visit him. I'm booking for 1 bedded cos hb said he will stay over with me this round. If you book for 4 bedded, very high chance to be upgraded to 2 bedded FOC.

Today is my 35weeks liao, so anxious as the day is so near.
Baby may pop within the next 2 or 3 wks times.
Coral, I did not know that preggy can go for foot reflexology.
Will it cause contraction?
Wtan, I will find it weird if PIL is with me during scanning, cause my hubby commend that they will put the scanner till very low and can see our hair down there (unless u have already shave yours)
Jenny,
That mean I have to tell the CL to prepare tonic only after abt 10days. Not sure if she know abt it.
Coral, you have to rest very well this few days and do not carry heavy stuffs and walk so much.

Jenny,
Yah lor, I also think no point buying the parts. Actually I also never expect the pump to be yellowish leh. But pai seh mah, got my colleague to bring the pump all the way to my house liao, cannot say that I dun want lor. Actually, after seeing the pump and Selina told me abt the BP on Ameda pumps, I did ask my colleague and hb whether I should buy or not. But hb say dun buy first coz also cannot confirm got milk flow or not.
Now think of it, sigh, should join the BP coz the price is really good. Now if want to pay $350 for the same thing, like very lugi like that... sigh..

Take care leh. Dun worry too much if there is no bleeding and baby is moving as per normal. this is the least u can monitor for now until ur visit tmrw. Rem to tell ur gynae abt ur dizzy spells. i get it occasionally oso and it happens suddenly.
Coz i feel when we panic or stressed will trigger off false contractions. tt was wat happened to me 2 days ago. aft resating & calming myself down, the BH was not as intense but still cont throughout the day. so try to keep ur mood light.
Dun feel pai seh to reject ur fren. its reasonable to explain tt as its 4 yrs old, u rather get a new one OR tell her ur close frens r getting a new one 4 u as a gift lor. i noe its hard to reject fren's gesture at times so u think of a nice excuse to reject her yet wun offend. hope it helps.

u dun hv to do 15 mins at 1 go. its v taxing one. juz try to do it a few times a day, at least better than nothing. i only do in bed, coz got cushion and my bed not too soft. or u can try this position if u r still washing ur bathrm. that was wat i did lor. u wun feel the strain coz u r concentrating on scrubbing the floor.
gd luck!
Jenny
wah 16 stations! i cant take buffet style now coz my apeetite not tt gd. sure lugi. if i gorge i will end up puking aft the meal. so better dun waste money now. aft i deliver then can consider buffet style.
Vivian
Welcome! Hope u get ur dream pump!
at most u top up some money if ur frens cant pool enuff to pay 4 the full set. 4 me, i dun mind, since the pump is almost $300.
GYNAE VISITS
Most visits will b fortnightly aft 32 wks. i.e see gynae at 34 and 36 wks. aft 36 wks, then its wkly liao.
if there is any issue, then gynae might schedule a visit as and when necc.

u can bring ur pump to hospital if u wan to. Coz i heard if baby dun latch on, or u r trying to stimulate milk flow, the pump will b useful. however even if u dun bring it there and need it later, can ask ur hb to go home and fetch it. owise can rent fr hospital.
Wei Kuan
If the cramps cont, u might wanna call & check wif ur gynae.

Wei Kuan,
A good CL should know what to do.
Vivian,
Tell you what. The most you keep the pump with you first. This is what I did. The pump my colleague passed to me is still with me. I keep it but din use. Use my own one (new set) instead. Then no need to worry about pai seh lor. Like some bb stuff hor, my colleagues also pass to me, I dun need them, or rather some items very old or bad condition (my hb and mum dun want to use), so I keep them in my store room first. Then later few mths later, say bb over that stage, then I return to colleagues. Some colleagues dun wan to take back, so I just said "then I pass to ppl who need them", then I pass those still in good condition and throw those not so good condition one. Some ppl just dun wan to throw the stuff they bought mah, so pass to ppl lor.
Hmm... dun think about the price lor. See how, cos the RPP will be $350 in dept store. I think there won't be any more BP for Ameda Pump.

Jenny's idea is oso gd. No choice if u find it pai seh to reject. That was wat i did when ppl offer to give me their hands-me-down. i juz take and filter away those i dun need. Oso got a used manual breast pump but i dun dare to use.

Hi ladies, thanks for the concern and advise. Been trying to keep cool. Cos has been very unhappy at work. So this morning gal has been moving alot, my colleague can see my tummy going up and down and one expereince mummy help me stroke her to calm her down.
Wei Kuan, I'll not let the person massage the points on my feet, just want some soothing touch for my tired legs. So should be alrite ba.
Breast Pump
===========
Ya, think will tell my fren that I'll probably not need the set from her since I'm uncomfortable to use a used pump and return to her now in case she want to lend it to someone else.
Driving

Wei Kuan, I think better stop in case you go into contraction can be dangerous on the road.
Gynae visit
===========
Mine start to be bi-weekly from 32 wks, and from 36wks it'll be weekly.
