MBB,
Me really blur lor....Cannot differential between BH and contraction....Only know alway kana whole tummy tighten. Recently can be so bad until must slow down if i am walking....
 
Calynn,
Ya lor, my hb just told me last nite. His collick's Bro still need to borrow money from his collick to pay off the dept... So poor thing...

MBB,
Ya lor... final final last lap then drink once a week.....
 
Shihui,
I also try to do kenal exercise everyday now...we were taught to do it for the anal too..

Vanessa,
We should eat young coconut only right? I tot places like carrerfour or cold storage got sell those already chopped type? I intend to start drinking next week when I am in my 35th week..BTW, how many coconuts can we take max per week?

MBB,
Ya lor. Cannot say one..next time must keep my big mouth shut also..No more bleeding from the nose this morning..but it was quite a scare..so far, i never nose bled before..think is the first time i saw so much blood dripping from my nose.. hee..
 
mbb, vanessa,
my hubby dunno how to chop coconut leh! he chop chop chop.... the juice fly all over the place but still no hole. end up i have to chop it myself. will drinking coconut bring fwd the delivery date? me now paranoid abt doing anything that might bring fwd the date.
sad.gif
 
Jackie,
not blur lah.
i also kept asking ppl how it felt like coz i dun really get period pain. i was worried i might miss the sign. last nite told hb when i pick him up from airport, he was also like asking "you sure or not??" hee heee

Dey,
i am sure it's scary to wake up in a pool of blood.
try to drink more water and eat less heaty food tho it's common for preggy to hv nose bleed but we juz do watever we can to prevent lah.
work dun work dun noe but try try lah.

Calynn,
you finito writing your novel?

not sweet coconut juice, no shiok one...
 
starluster,
wah.. u power leh... chop coconut urself.. :p i won't dare... dun dare to buy coconut for hubby to chop... worried tt he will cut his hand instead.. :p den he sure give out those bruce lee's scream.... :p
 
Starluster,
not too sure if it will bring forward the date but i heard if too liang, there's chance lor.
coconut juice is pretty liang. somemore tat day i almost drank 2!
 
dey,
ya only young coconuts, those selling at supermarket are not chopped. once chopped they cannot be kept, so usually not chop one. I'm also not sure what's the max we can drink leh.

Starluster,
I'm not sure abt it leh, but even though I drink for my 2nd birth, she still comes out on EDD leh. furthermore it's I go n ask her to come out one...hahaha.
 
Starluster,
But bear in mind those body consistency no good one hor, cannot drink leh, that will bring forward labour, hence doremi think cannot drink....
 
Vanessa, Calynn,
10K for C-sec!!! Wow!!! I dun think Gleneagles charges so high for C-sec leh..could it be some complications during birth? I am also giving birth at Gleneagles leh and just opt for 1-bedder..hopefully everything will go smoothly by natural birth...
 
Dey,
maybe Vanessa's fren went for natural birth then followed by emer C sec??
otherwise, it's inpossible to come up to 10K except if there's complication.

now also abit regret tat i booked the 1 bedder. since i am considering natural delivery. sekali ended up with emer c sec then hb's pocket really got a BIG hole.
 
dey,
Dunno leh, think some ppl body is already "liang" so consider weak lor, some very yong seldom sick one, then body good lor...I guess bah....
 
MBB,
Me also seldom kana period cramp, so when Vanessa told me it like period cramp but more painful i also cannot imagine.....

Dey, MBB,
I also worry abt complication (touch wood) that why dare not opt for 1 bedder. I am delivering at Mt E which is more expensive than Gleneagles.....Just pray for smooth natural delivery....
 
Dey,

hiyoh! y nose bleed? careful leh! then got feel giddy or not lost so much blood?

sylk,

i'm e one who went Yet Con yest. been there lotsa times liao but it's e 1st time i tried e prok chop n fish maw soup. e old man seems to look healthier now... got a glow on his face!

bobianah,

e fish maw soup's v nice! din expect to c so much 'liao' inside. ended up can't finish cos e pork chop's serving's so big! still, my fav is e roast pork!
happy.gif


qianhui,

yah. do e kegel exercise n e angry cat stretch. i only need to wake up once in e nite to pee these days, dunno if it's e effect o e exercises? i do e full set (hands, legs, chest, pelvic rock, head etc + kegel) everyday! so far, no aches, no cramps, no pain, no swells!
happy.gif


ladies,

last nite sthg scary happened! i found this big blob o sticky copper brownish discharge when i wipe down there. one whole thing fell out like tt! i was outside n din noe wat to do. wanted to take a pix o it but there were lotsa ppl outside n my camera phone cannot off sound one. so i folded it up in e tissue, put in my pocket n went to a quieter toilet to take pix... heh heh

i tot my mucus plug fell out... which means my cervix is dilating n gasp! i might b on my way to labour! called my doc just now (din bring his no. out yest... oops) n he said i might not even haf mucus plug yet n ask me 2 monitor. if there's blood or cramps, then call him...

has this happened to anyone o u all b4?
 
kimi

that sounds scary. what do you mean we don't have the mucus plug yet? don't we always have it? i thought that is to sort of seal off the uterus to prevent infection to the baby?
uhoh.gif


better rest more these few days.
 
starluster,

chop coconuts? wah! u very li hai! last time, during his students' chalet, me n hubby were so bored we went to climb a coconut tree to pluck coconuts! heh heh! so fun... we got 2! then we tried to chop it leh... so tough! oso shell/flesh/juice fly everywhere. his students were so amused!

used to go p. ubin n cycle n illegally climb trees n pluck fruits one... how i miss those days... i wanna run n jump n cycle again...
 
Kimi,
Er... just listen to ur gynae and monitor lor. I'm not sure if you have muscus plug now, but the description did sound like mucus plug to me.
 
Vanessa,
My col juz deliver in Jan, she spent $16k at Mount A leh, bcoz pre-mature bb, the bb stay 10days in ward while she stay 6 days, endup total, 16k..scary!

Jen,
Mine at gleneagle, for normal delivery 1 bedder will be $2780 leh,c section 3k+..unless is complication case then might be lot more lor.
 
mbb, vanessa..
thanks for the info. think i better dont drink coconut then. though i so gian for it.. been feeling really heaty nowadays.

kimi,
wow.. u really diligent in doing all your exercise! the discharge thingy sounds scary... i also tot the plug is always there.
 
MBB, Dey,

dunno leh... he just said he tinks it's nt e mucus plug lor cos i might nt even haf it yet cos i'm only 30+ wks???? i oso tot we always haf e plug one...

he said it shld be just discharge lor, nv say wat discharge but it's so like him nt to elaborate one lah. then he said must monitor n no sex lor. but a big blob leh, must b sthg rite?

still, no cramps, no pain, no blood, no contractions... shld b fine lah...
 
feire,
I heard hor, those deliver in pte hospital, if bb got complication and need special care which only KKH have, they will send bb to KKH, but the charges are that pte hospital charges and not KKH charges. That was what happen to my friend's sister, deliver at Mt E, then bb got a hole in the heart and need special care at KKH, admitt to KKH, but daily charges at Mt E rate....scary man!
 
Kimi,
No lar.. no feel giddy after nose bled..after the bleeding stopped, fell back to sleep immediately..hee..you better take care and monitor closely..dun take the risk hor...
 
starluster,

erm... maybe a bit too dilligent liao. rock my pelvic too much until things start dropping out! heh heh...

vanessa,

sound like hor? normal discharge got look like jelly one meh? ya lor, just monitor lor. i'm nt tt worried lah act., e other time i've got greenish discharge, oso disappear aftera few days... more curious bt wat tt thing is...
 
Kimi,
Somethings muscus plug fall out got no pain, no cramps or contraction, but u just got to monitor lor, better be safe than sorry..... last time my mucus plug also fall off on my EDD, I thot will be in labour soon, who knows, still got to be on drip to bring in the contractions and dilation to induce labour...
 
kimi,
huh.. so scary.. but weird leh.. i thot muscus plug is already present... how come 30+ weeks still no muscus plug? but think better to rest more.. dun do anything vigorous leh...
 
MBB,
Ya. n thus I've decided nt to cook today! heh heh...

Vanessa,
read tt labour might be hours to weeks away after e plug falls out. i just pray tt i won't go into pre-term labour. it's a really scary tot.

just went to babycenter website. still tink it's e mucus plug tt fell out, at least part o it. maybe doc just trying to reassure me. read more, got more scared, hope i dun haf incompetent cervix... haiz...
 
Kimi,
don't worry too much to stress ur womb, just rest well n be tai tai today, cos got excuse not to cook and do hsework....haha.... sit and watch ur show can liao

Vanessa,

Jackie,
if pte from KKH is still KKH pte rate, but the rate for transfer is for eg. Mt E rate and not even KKH Pte rate leh....
 
Vanessa,

MBB,
ya lor... been telling myself to resign to it... then keep focusing on the pros of c-sec... if next wk go see gynae suddenly tell me can go for natural liao.... i sure blur one!!!.... ha ha...

when do u have to decide?
 
Kimi,
Don't worry lah, if bb comes out now still got very high chance of survival, but got to be in the incubator for many days as well as hospital, so just got to spend more $$ only lor.
 
Vanessa,
yeah lor, tats wat i am tinking.
i awready cannot BF. i dun wanna lost another beautiful moment with bb.
 
Calynn,
my gynea told me tat she will do a cervix check for me ard 36 wks and see if i dilated awready or not. then we shall decide on my next move coz she strongly do not encourage me to go for c sec.

coz the other day gynea asked me why i insisted on c sec. i explained to her my worries abt not dilating enough bla bla bla...
 
May I how much u all pay for the malay massage? my fren juz call me say her malay aunt charge $500 for 7 session, izit normal?
 


MBB,
Here are some information on Hep for Breastfeeding, if u wish, I can give u some reference person who have bf their bb even though they r Hep B carrier and u can talk to them, they are from BMSG counsellor team.

Let me know ;)

HEPATITIS

Viruses cause both form of Hepatitis A & B. Hepatitis A is contracted through contaminated food, and is not usually a serious illness, and most patients recover from it. Not a problem for the mother to continue breastfeeding, but she is likely to be too sick with jaundice to attempt it.

Hepatitis B is the more serious type. Patients are at higher risk of contracting liver cancer later. There is no cure for Hepatitis B, but a course of 3 vaccinations over 6 months is available as a preventive measure. A mother may be a healthy carrier. To be properly deemed a carrier, the mother must have tested positive with the virus for 6 months, that is, determined through 2 separate tests 6 month apart. All pregnant women are screened during their antenatal checks. But not many actually have a second test to confirm if they are indeed carriers. If sufficient time has lapsed, a mother may request her doctor to do a second test.

Hepatitis B can be transmitted through body fluids. An infected mother can infect her baby during the birth process, or during breastfeeding. Since all pregnant women are screened, all babies of infected mothers or suspected carriers are identified before birth. Such babies are all given passive immunity very soon after birth by gamma globulin, which is then followed up by the usual course of Hepatitis B vaccine. Such babies can be breastfed once the gamma globulin injection has been given.
