don't worry too much! even if it's mucus plug, and if *touch wood* you get some contractions which you are NOT having at all now, there are medicines to relax the womb and prevent preterm. the important thing is to be alert and dash to the gynae as soon as anything crops up.

 

[dogggies]

MBB, Vanessa,
Now i am more clear liao, xie xie

Vanessa,
Was wondering hor if i gg for 2nd BB shld i opt for KK instead of private hospital. To avoid worry n incur extra expenses...But KK service suck leh...

Kimi,
BB more than 28weeks already got high chance of survival liao...Dont worry, keep talking to BB n ask her to be guai guai.....Mummy tummy more comfortable mah

Calynn,
Maybe during yr next visit gynae will tell u BB turn liao can go natural?

MBB,
Dont worry we can go do it one......Let "jia yu" together

 

[kimi]

vanessa, doggiebb,

happier now.

 

[vaness81]

Jackie,
haha, I know, KKH sucks, then u opt for TMC lor, not much of different compare to KKH Pte patient and the service make u feel "home"....hahaha... I simply love TMC

 

[qsg]

Kimi, how many weeks are you at now? Mucus plug should be there all along.

Yukie, me still having slight backache...dun even know if this backache is due to weight of bb or contractiosn.

Vanessa, ya opting for c-section. Hope bb won't come out before the scheduled date. I have not even wash bb clothes and pack hospital bag or the bag for my girl to stay over at my mum's place during my hospital stay.

 

[qianhui]

Kimi,

Don't worry, if come out, got high chance of survival..

Many articles and books already said some BB as young as 20 wks can survive because of the technology nowadays..

Very very ex and plenty of special care.. And not worth the risk..

I think in our Dec MTB, there's one who given birth at 31 or 34 wks already izzit?

 

[mbb]

Vanessa,
tkz, i wrote to BSMG but have yet to recieved their reply. i have not given up BF competely.
if i still dun get a reply from them, i shall ask for you to recommend me a counsellor, ok?

maybe it's GOD's way of telling me to consider natural delivery.
i am a headstrong person. once made a decision, hardly will change it. but since my gynea gave me the "no no" BF thingy, i am seriously considering natural delivery.

thankful tat hb is very supportive!

Feire,
my massage is $45 per session.

 

[dey]

Kimi,
Ya lor.. rest well today..just eat, sleep and chat here..the rest dun care...

MBB,
You also tai tai life..no need to cook somemore now..but cooking also stressed lar..think we all need to rest more now...how i wish i dun hv to work at all now!!!

Calynn,
U opting for C-sec?? 27 Nov is end of the month leh..so fast! Gleneagles can upgrade to 1-bedder for free? I didn't know that..but if can upgrade then good for u..more privacy definitely..

 

[doggiebb]

feire

my malay massage is $50 per session. yours seems a bit more exy. what does it include?

 

[jennytansc]

doggiebb,
thanks for the contact.

Vanessa,
the "entertainment" always high class eating place? i tell u what.. i kei kei act sick lar.. hahaa then tell hb dun meet 1 day can anot? ahaha then take the chance either lunch or dinner u all go out family outings w/o "xian zha ren"./ ahhaaa

 

[doggiebb]

MBB

check with you. as i will be going on leave from 13 nov...want to start having tinkat also. can recommend yours or not?

 

[vaness81]

MBB,
Tell u a secret, I actually saw ur email to BMSG, as u know I'm a counsellor there and recently just take up the email counselling job. I guess I really got to recommend u a counsellor, cos I'm not sure if the counsellor on that day duty miss out ur mail. Anyway, hope my information to u r useful and let me know if u need any help

 

[calynn]

MBB,
ummm... given a choice, i rather go for natural... anyway, decide after the check on your 36 weeks lor... sometimes it's best not to tink so much about it...

like my case also... i was quite upset about having to do a c-sec... but now to me is as long as bb is out safe and sound... i dun care anymore liao lor...

 

[dogggies]

Vanessa,
My SIL gg to deliver in KKH, went with her once to KKH....Really cannot make it....

feire,
The malay massage lady i book charge me $50 per session for 1.5 hrs.....

MBB,
I can ask the counsellor/speaker abt it this sat when i go for the class...Must put a reminder in my mobile otherwise sure forget one

 

[kimi]

qianhui, jackie, dey,
thx!

qianhui,
got dec mtb pop already????? in our grp? is it one o those who've since disappeared fr e forum?

QSG,
ya lor. went to re-chk, we do haf e mucus plug all along. it might oso fall out bit by bit n take weeks b4 labour so maybe tt's e case lor!

MBB,
gd tt ur hubby's so supportive!

 

[feire]

MBB,
$45 per session very good price, think i shld reconsider abt my fren's aunt liao..but she told me she try it v effective leh..but $500 like quite X.

dey,
I also wish dont hv to work at all now..v tiring to move ard. so envy those enjoying tai tai life!
counting down everyday....

 

[calynn]

dey,
ya.. coz gynae told me bb is in breech position... unlikely to turn down... so ask me to go for c-sec...

i heard from a couple of friends tat gleneagles has limited 2 bedded... so will usually upgrade u to 1 bed if they run out of rooms and will remain at 2 bedded rates... *cross fingers* ha ha.. anyway... since i might be doing c-sec, tot i'll opt for the cheaper choice lor...

gynae told me can pick a date from 22 Nov onwards... act wanted 28 (hubby bday) but MIL said 27 is better date... so chin chye lor..

 

[conniemummy]

ladies,

i have some slight spotting this morning, but no pain..
should i start to panic? called dr, but think he is in operation.. now waiting for him to call back

if the spotting is brownish, is it ok?

 

[feire]

doggiebb, jackie,
Mine $500 for 7 session, 1 hour per session, i heard is oil massage and to wear the traditional kind of tight corset leh. How abt urs, izit the same?

 

[vaness81]

MBB,
ya, it's good if Jackie can help u to ask, face to face mah.... hahaha.... but hor I still think it's better if u can talk to the counsellor urself, cos only u know ur body, so mayb u called Jackie on her hp that day n speak to the speaker directly...hahaha.. provided Jackie one is incoming free

Jen,
Cannot make it lah, if not feeling well, they will come over to eat either order pizza or ta bao back, no escape one, they sure have their way..... As I told u liao, they will come over to my place without fail every sunday....... cannot bluff...

 

[isishui]

Connie,
how abt calling the clinic nurse n ask them? dun panic..

 

[reyne]

hello i'm new over here... hmmm edd is coming soon.. but dunno when to apply for leave.. hw abt u gers?

 

[mbb]

Kimi & Doggiebb,
i juz had my first tingkat meal awhile ago.
it's from House of Catering.
not too bad.
today's menu is black pepper pork chop, yong tau hoo, green veg and peanut pig tail soup.
i din want the soup as i prefer to boil my own. so was given 2 pcs of herbal chix instead.

dun hv the whole mth's menu yet so cannot tell how often they repeat the dishes.
will update again.

Vanessa,
you saw my email har?
maybe can give me the tel for me to call?
coz till now still no reply.
cheers

honestly, i was not a big fan of BF be4 i concieved coz my mom also din BF me and i am healthy.
but after carrying the bb for the past mths, all my previous thinking starts to change.
well, i guess tis is motherhood.
we want the best for bb.

Jackie,
tkz! i did my blood test twice and gynea told me even pump out milk is not adviceble. pls check for me if you remember

Fiere,
Mdm Rokiah juz send me sms to wish me smooth delivery. she having promotion, 7 days for $488.
i heard tat she is good but i dun like the idea of paying $200 deposit upfront and tat she might not be the one doing the massage.

i ended up on waitlist for MDM Sadiah.

Dey,

Welcome here! i will start my Mleave 27th nov 1 week before my EDD, i dun want to pop in office,sure v paiseh one..hope my bb come out after 27th nov

Jackie,
maybe i will give up malay massage, see how my tummy after deliver, $500 like too X,can buy many tins for bb with this $$ leh.

I think after deliver, i may change job, a easier job, juz for passing time, to think staying at home waiting for hubby really stressful leh.

Kimi,
Jiayu, dun b so stress, as long as bb comfortable inside they will perfer to stay inside till full term one. *hope mine too*

 

[mbb]

Calynn,
yeah, was playing with it awhile ago.
quite tiring...coz still din get the hang of it.
lucky gotten a rather light weight stroller.

hmm, realli wanted to use it on escalator coz always wonder how mummy can push it with bb inside down/up escalator.

Ladies,
juz sms Geri coz was worried din see her online tis past 2 days. she got tummy pain and hv MC. should be back in action tmr

 

[mbb]

Feire,
dun skip the massage coz i heard it's really good. either to lose weight, flatten tummy or relax your body.

Reyne,
wen is your EDD?

 

[jennytansc]

Qianhui,
means the mucus plug once "drop out" or what means we can be ready for labour liao ar?
