Hi Esther,

Mmm, ya Dr Koh Based on on my bb size and my small body frame, mention that we might C-sec. Cos during last stage bb put on very fast. 100g to 300g per week, if in another 4 more weeks, bb will be about 3.7kg to 4kg so mine is a big bb.

Now feeling heavy and cannot walk too far or stand too long. Hee hee! hoping to get one week MC next week to rest at home. will decide on 25th sept. Actually I wish to see him earlier too. hee hee. provided bb is ready to see the outside world.

coolcoolmum,
Is ok. I will check with Winnie directly. You remember how much Winnie is selling? I prefer the baby blue or baby pink color kekeke... The stock coming in end of the mth ah? I'm ok with it lah. Since won't be using now. The most is when discharge from hospital and to PD for checkup, then will need to use.

Hi hi coral..
Nice to hear that ur girl is growing well leh..so sweet..just continue to eat more & I m sure it will be fruitful lor..I totally agree with u leh..always be prepared for Plan B if Plan A doesn't work out..u r welcome on the full-mth package..i guess it will be gd to "distract" my attention to the full-mth package rather than keep on thinking abt work also..keke..it's very nice that ur bosses have been very supportive towards ur performance..this is really very heart-warming..i guess most imptly is u know wat u want in ur career path..as long as u r happy, it's very impt, right?now I just tell myself, if worst come to worst & things dun turn out well..then at most I start all over from beginning again as long as I dun give up on myself..this is very impt..so I will remind myself to stay happy esp at this very moment..thks..

Hi hi selina..
It's nice to hear that u can work from home..so envy u..at least got ur fav tv to accompany u..now I cant wait for fri to come man..so that I know wkend is near..sigh, today only Mon nia..sian..hope u r feeling better ahh..

Hi hi coolcoolmum...
Oh,u gg down to Blossom ahh..okok..actually I didn't realized can have baby's photo customized on the cake itself leh..haha..i think I just browse thru only..keke..ya, u have a point lor..no matter how well u done..no one will appreciate lor..that's why now I only hope that time pass faster for me..thks for all..will try to remind myself at all times to relax & be happy always..thks..cheers~

Hi hi Emily..
Wow..indeed ur baby is growing well ahh..u must have eaten some special "tonics" ahh..so will u be selecting any special "dates" for ur c-sect?

snowpooher · Sep 18, 2006

coolcoolmum,
Got your mail. Thanks.

Cupcakes
My feedback on the cupcakes... Too sweet for me! Maybe I dun like sweet stuff.

gemini · Sep 18, 2006

Hi coral,

Fully agree with u. The most impt thing is to deliver our bb safely, regardless of the birth plan that we have/may not chosen.

Hi emily,

Wah, ur bb is indeed growing very well. What have you been feeding ur bb?

babygrace · Sep 18, 2006

crystalized,
i think the pelvic area is where your thigh bones fit into the socket of the hip bones. mine is aching already. probably your bb is engaged liao.
just like what jenny said, i had the pain for 1+ weeks before popping.
eh... i really hope that's not the case this time round.

gemini · Sep 18, 2006

Hi MTBs,

I'm feeling very scared yet excited.Me got slightly about 2 more wks before my EDD.... I'm told to monitor my bb kicking since last thurs, 10 kicks within 10 hrs. My gal has been very guai, I'm getting sort of a fixed pattern from her. It's only after the cut off period, I dont seem to feel her more actively kicking for the rest of the time. It only started today. Am I getting paranoid?

momconomics · Sep 19, 2006

crystallized · Sep 19, 2006

Hi ladies
Still here lah. Damn tired yest aft my gynae visit tt i cldnt even bothered to log in.

Bad news is my baby's not engaged yet. I am so sad.

and went shopping aft my gynae visit... aft tt my vagina area was like aching like mad. i cant even bear to make any movement coz it hurts! it hurts when i chg position in bed. is this normal? tdy still hurting.

jenny & bbgrace, how? my bb's not engaged!

he is now almost 38 wks and weighs 3.3kg liao. quite worried. and head circumference is 33.5cm liao. gonna do more squatting. but wif vagina area aching like tt hor, cant even do. legs open a bit wider oso pain (sorry 4 sounding crude). sigh... how come like tt? my bb punish me 4 shopping too much huh?

Selina,
dun think am gg to jump queue liao lah. prob will b due near to my EDD.

congrats to vivian! at least that is 1 pc of gd news!!!!

anyone noes was it a natural delivery?

snowpooher · Sep 19, 2006

CONGRATS to VIVIAN!!!

momconomics,
Welcome to the thread!

Selina,
At least your mum is with you in office now. At least not alone.

crystallized,
Dun worry about engaged lah. Your ah boy must be too comfortable inside your tummy. Maybe he comes out only on full term (40 weeks) wor. Remembered I told you my ex-colleague's 3rd child came out at Week 41? BB inside mummy's tummy got good stuff to "eat". Come out only drink milk

mommy2006 · Sep 19, 2006

hi crystallized,
cheers up!!!

my gynae did told me & wendy tat about engaged. according to him, not every bb will b engaged even 38 weeks. some bb only engaged when they r going to pop tat time. so, dun worry to much. sweet talk to bb ask him to get into right position ba.
most impt things is bb growing well ba...

coralmarine · Sep 19, 2006

Crystallized, don't worry even if bb not engaged, my gynae say that is not a concern.

Jasmine, you manage to speak to Wei Kuan about her delivery process?

crystallized · Sep 19, 2006

Jenny
u noe i am most worried when he juz seems to pile on weight now. in 1 wk he gained 300g. i think coz i too greedy, ate 2 mini mooncakes last wk. gonna stop all my nonsense liao.

if he wasnt such a big baby, i wun b so worried if he wanna stay inside me. looks like my gynae's prediction is sala. asked me to standby since i was 35 wks... until now. bleah!

wat was the weight of ur coll's bb when she delviered?

yah lah, he too comfy inside me liao. little rascal. gonna whack his backside when he comes out.

eh btw the vagina pain i was talkg abt? issit normal anot ah? i nvr felt like this b4. aching leh.

Jasmine
my bb is growing v well and gaining weight until i am worried now. ok lah, i muz tell myself to b +ve since i always tell Selina the same thing. "Always look on the bright side of life."

watever will be, will be...

crystallized · Sep 19, 2006

coral
i noe lah, actually engaging or not is not a major concern. juz hoping things will eventually fall into plc during delivery.

juz sms-ed vivian. she is doing fine.

she will b discharged tmrw then will tell us her birth story. so happy 4 her.

wah wei kuan is power man! she always sounds so timid to me but she delivered naturally w/o epidural!!! BRAVO!

she shld hv been discharged by now. probably busy wif her new baby.

snowpooher · Sep 19, 2006

crystallized,
Dun worry too much. My ex-colleague's boy was borned at 3kg++, can't remember the exact weight, but was via induction (natural birth) with epidural. However, before the epidural took effect, bb was born.
The vagina pain is normal lah. I have it on and off. You din check with your gynae during the checkup?

crystallized · Sep 19, 2006

Jenny
the pain only came aft the gynae visit as i went shopping mah. thats y i wondered issit coz i shopped too much. but no bleeding & unusual dischrge so i dun bother abt it, see if it gets any better tmrw.

emily · Sep 19, 2006

Hi wtan and gemini,

I been eating normally. In fact, early stage of pregnancy till 2nd trimester, I have feeling hungry easily. However, I ususally have light dinner through out.

3rd trimester, I have been having smaller amount of food every meals. Is almost the same quantity of pre-pregnant.

I didnt even purposely taking any "bu" tonic.

Well I guess is just my hubby gene.

If C-sec, Will choose a sound easy date to remember but not going to ask for any "good" date. Well, i presume we need to accomodate gynea time also. is it?? i not too sure. now awaiting for coming monday to be here to visit gynea.

estben · Sep 19, 2006

So nice to hear that weikuan and vivan has given birth congrats!

Selina when you next update me now 35wks baby 2796grams. Thanks. BTW, how are you feeling now?

coralmarine · Sep 19, 2006

Just got a text from Wei Kuan, she's very tired and to her engorgement is more painful than the labour pain...I can't agree more. Told her to endure as the intial stage for BF is going to be tough. Hope she'll find time to come to the forum soon. Jia You Wei Kuan!

crystallized · Sep 19, 2006

Coral
GOODNESS! Engorgement worse than labour pain!

mommy2006 · Sep 19, 2006

coral,

yeah...always look at the bright side. for me, i always worried about my bb's weight since 2nd tri. no matter how much i eat, he still gain the same amount. i gain 1.2kg within 2 weeks, but bb only gained 400g. now 2.4kg at 36w5d. consider small bb even he is a boy.
last week appt, when doc told me he engaged mayb his head is small & told me dun worry about his weight.
i think i too greedy liao. i always hav to tell myself bb grow healthy is more impt.

crystallized,
I tot you have the pain b4 seeing gynae. Anyway is normal to have some pains here and there at this stage.
I think confinement is more worse than labour pain and engorgement for me...
For the past weekend and yesterday, I have been eating non-stop (chocolates lah, durian mooncake, champagne mooncake, tibits, cupcakes, cakes, soft drinks lah...). Eat now in case confinement time cannot eat...

Yeap, my stupid excuses...

Crystallized, that's how myself and Wei Kuan feel abt labour vs engorgement. But some pple don't get much engorgement, so depends lor. I think you may be right abt bb's weight gain gotta do with genes. I definitely eat more junk than you, but my bb always gain 200g only. So far I already had 3 mini mooncake and 3/4 big size mooncake. And I eat my kit kat and snickers daily. Plus the D24 I ate last week, my gal still gain only 200g. I'm considered big for female but think my hb is average size for male, so prob my gal follow Daddy's genes.

My hb suggested Charlotte as my gal's name. I have no objection, so she'll probably be Charlotte Ngong.

Jenny, saw you wrote maybe you don't like sweet things. I think hor hard to believe lah. YOu great durian puff fan, eat so much eclairs and rolls, and spent so much on mooncake, if you don't like sweet stuff hor, who likes.

I think I'll also give the cupcakes a miss cos my friends don't like to eat cup cakes.

snowpooher · Sep 19, 2006

Coral,
haha... depends on which type of sweetness lah. Durian sweetness is ok with me kekeke... but not those sweetness in cake lor. Though I spent so much on mooncakes, but I dun eat them lah, I only ate the durian mooncake nia, the rest are for my family and aunts.
But hor, the cupcake really very sweet leh. Even my hb commented it sweet. (He takes sweet stuff one lor)

yah lor, hv to think +ve lor. gd tt ur baby's head is engaged liao.

its true tt ultimately most impt is healthy baby lor.

Jenny
no lah, if i got pain b4 seeing gynae i die die ask 4 MC tdy leh. wished i can stay at home man. feel quite sore. like kena brutalised! hahahaha

i try to tell myself to sleep and enjoy while my bb still inside me. once he comes out, no peace liao.

wah i dun dare indulge so much coz the greedy rascal inside me sure absorb v well oso.

i told my hb i am not gg to think as if its end of the world by eating wat i wanna eat (coz of the confinement) liao, coz of the rate my bb is growing. looks like he will eventually weigh 3.6kg if he comes out full term. goodness. my pelvic got so big to accomodate him anot. v worried.

Coral
u & jasmine heng lor. eat how much oso wun really affect baby. mine certainly can absorb. the placenta really doing an excellent job delivering the goodies to him man.

i am a bit shorter than u and my hb is tall. so supposedly my bb is heavy coz he is oso tall. but yest at the scan, i can see his chubby face man! i cant wait to see how he looks like really!

Charlotte is a nice name.

but u noe wat they say abt names lah. will hv pple disturbing perhaps calling her "chocolate"... hope u dun mind me saying... esp the older folks, out of convenience, might juz pronounce watever they find it easier. anyway ultimately its up to u & hb lah. wats ur hb's surname in chinese? so special.
