Here's something funny to share. Hope it takes away some stress that most of us are feeling right now. Enjoy reading
"The Washcloth"
Ladies this has to be read, laughed at and passed on. There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this!
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am.
I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.
So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.
The rest of the day was normal . Some shopping, cleaning, cooking.
After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?"
I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."
Never going back to that doctor. Ever.

Linda, thanks for the fish and papaya soup recipe. i was just wondering where to get it?
Btw, I heard that too much danggui during confinement will reduce milk supply. Mummies who are BFing might want to take heed. i'm now taking the chicken essence with danggui but once I heard that, I decided to stop.
Went to Dr today. Surprised to find out that I'm already 2cm dilated and baby engaged already. Suppose to go for induction next Thurs but Dr says might come before that even. Getting very excited!

Btw, heard from my fren with the same gynae that he will not do VE for 1st time MTBs.. cos wont deliver so fast. So guess I wont know how many cm dilated also? Gd too.. cos I'm scared of the pain. And my fren say for her, also no need to shave for natural delivery! Gd ah.. hopefully I also no need.
Linda, yah, better go buy your number. heehee...hmmm... I never thot of buying. haha. always dun have the luck leh. heehee...
Wow Twiggy, so exciting! Hmmm, just wondering, does it feel any different now that baby's engaged?
Valeriet, it's a funny story! Thanks for sharing. It does relieves some stress...

Bluelily / Dodo,
I'm 36 weeks plus now, so next week will be just exactly full term at 37 weeks. No leh, I can't tell any diff that I engaged leh. Although I did notice I been waddling even more, but it was a gradual thing. But I dunno how long I have been 2cm dilated because gyne only did the first VE for me today. Dr only says today the baby's head is very low in the pelvis, so cannot see his full head on the ultrasound already. So must have been engaged in the last two weeks.

Constance,
My new maid tried to share her drink with my son, but since she is inexperience I told her cannot share anything with my children.
PD = Paediatrician
If you happen to have one or by recommendation, this PD will come to visit your newborn in the nursery. Will check the newborn's health when in hospital but anyhow you can change your PD when discharge or a PD near your house.

Etelle, your baby's big! Mine's only 2.4kg now, and will probably be just over 2.5kg when born. But he doesnt seem to be growing much more inside my belly.
Fairyland, that's great! He's very close to 2kg which is a very good weight that PDs usually benchmark against. Wont be long till baby hits that weight. All the best for your labour!

My son's PD is Ang Ai Tin from TMC also. She is very funny, observent and attentive, saw her few times on TV regarding children's health. Though I live in Seng Kang, I travel all the way there. Rivervale Mall got a Kids Clinic, 2 female PDs there, nice too but queue too packed!
Hi MTBs,
Thank u for the well wishes. Actually I am a bit excited and a little apprehensive. As don't know what to expect. Gynae will do a c-section with epi. Gyane was saying that it's like visiting the dentist kind of feeling. Awake and knows something is going on but can't feel anything wor.
Now 37 weeks plus and bb is 2.7kg. So I guess gynae thinks in another 2 weeks time bb will be too big for my frame.
Good luck to all the mtbs that are going to pop. Have a smooth delivery.
Remember to buy 4D har this weekend.

Hi missylan
yup, agree that kids clinic Q is quite long. so what i usually do is, go there, take Q number, then go home and wait for nurse to call me.
Hey Rach,
my operation scheduled on 18th Dec (1812), one month after yours.

jeelomeelo,
I spoke to my gynae about PD yesterday, mentioning that I would like to change to Dr Ngiam. But she still advised me to go with Dr Yip instead, saying that Dr Yip specialises in newborn.
You see, I was intending to change to Dr Chan Kit Yee after discharge (she is based in AMK), so Dr Yip will only take care of bb for 1st few days. Apparently, Dr Ngiam is one of the older and more senior PD over there, so not very nice to use him for a few days then switch. My gynae says, if I'm intending to use Dr Ngiam for long term, then it's ok.
As for anaestetist, my gynae says we can only choose if going for c-sec or induction. If natural, can only see who is available at that time.
Previously, I was also considering going for Brazilian wax. After checking with gynae, she says she does not shave at all!!! I'm so so glad!
No need wax liao!
