Hi bluelily,
Dun be depressed. Perhaps your bb will 'guai guai' wait for your gynae to be back.
Or perhaps come out at Week 37?

I think my bb head also quite low n pressing on my pelvic area. I also have that feeling of peeing & pooing all the time. Sometimes, if I sit for too long, when I get up, down there feels very sore.
My hubby thinks next wk bb will be out, but I'm hoping her birth date to be ard 10Dec that wk. 12-12-2007 wld be nice

Now I so pain I wish he'll come out at 37 wks. haha. But I doubt so, I got no other symptoms at all. No contraction, not even BH. 
Yest v ks.. already called n ask when my CL will be available.. Heng next wk she'll be available liao. So once bb ready.. I pop anytime also can. haha

congrats gloomybear!!!
today went to see doc. CTG again, baby hid behind. it was hard to catch his heartbeat. anyway, doc somewhat pressed my belly here n there, then baby back peng to the front then manage to track his heartbeat. Halfway thru, got one contraction, i couldn't feel it. Doc said, this is nothing compared to the real thing !@#^&*
bb is 2.8-3kg now at wk37. Based on the cervical check, i am close to 3cm dilation now and she said the induction should be quite fast. She expect induce early morning like 5-6am, then bb should be out late afternoon. (to me it doesn't sound too fast either... )
anyway, next tues i'm seeding doc again, then if everything ok, i confirm go induce on wednesday. cannot wait liao coz of the stoopid diabetes. Still got strepB +ve. Doc said i might be a carrier. anyway, hopefully baby would be fine. I wonder how many drips i have to be on...

Congrats Gloomybear! Welcome to motherhood! (and sleepless nights)
My baby was in hostpial for jaundice last two days. So heartache to see him there and he's already so small i was worried he lose more weight. Luckily he's weight maintained. My single goal now is to fatten him up.
Just a word of caution: Eat ginger in moderation during yuor confinement. My dr told me repeatly not to eat ginger after my baby's jaundice got worse so I think ginger in BF mums can pose a problem if taken in too large quantities.

jeelo, ya, if nt for the diabetes, i think u can wait longer for the bb to pop, jia you jia you!!!
pierced, I'm delivering at KKH too. Next wk, gynae gonna check status of cervix to see if ready to deliver. He said since bb has grown to abt 2.9kg, its norm to deliver earlier. I still hvn't got any sign yet (no pain, no contraction, etc). What abt u?
Twiggy, for my #1 confinement, dr & the nurses at the polyclinic all told me to cut down on the ginger when my girl's jaundice went up 3 days after birth. So, I believe ginger does play a part in causing jaundice to go up. Anyway, bcos of that, quarrelled wz my mum cos old pple insist must take ginger. She told me to stop BF so that I can take ginger. So angry. But I think my mum accepted the fact that BF mummies can't take too much ginger & DOM, so its shd be easier for me to manage this time round

ask one silly question, do we bath the newborn daily? or sponge bath is good enuff?
jeelo,
I plan to sponge bath first...for the 1st week at least. (a) I'm not that confident to handle yet, esp umbilical cord still attached; (b) babies dun perspire as much as adults lah...sponge bath shd be fine; plus (c) think baby's skin still quite delicate...dun want to bath it yet. just gently pat pat...heehee...
That's my thots lah.

baked beans,
I'm back from the clinic!!
actually would have been back earlier but went to taka to do my christmas shopping.. hehe.. my feet and arms aching now from all the walking and carrying..
anyway.. i asked Dr Wong about PD Keoy SS.. she said that he is a good PD.. all her children are seeing him in fact.. just that he's a quiet man and some ppl dun like it..
she also said that if i want to change, can change to PD Ong EK (thats the one that linda recommended), but his waiting time is really long.. can stretch to 1 hour plus.. so it all depends on me.. but i can change anytime to another PD if i want to lah..
for the time being.. i'll just stick with Keoy SS first since Dr Wong also using him.. hehe
anyway.. did my VE today and u're right.. Dr Wong is very gentle.. it felt a little uncomfortable but it was overall ok.. i'm 0.5cm dilated only.. haiz.. so sianz.. still hoping that she'll be out tmr.. hahaha

hi agnes
i delivered @ tmc, u dont need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste as they are provided.
jeelo,
my mum bath the baby once every morning or afternoon and then either u ma liang in the evening.
petrina
just brought my girl to see DR keoy yesterday, man quite ok, hubby noticed that his eyes are closed when talking to us and he really picked up his phone without saying excuse me and pour the umbilical cord powder w/o telling us.
Another thing want to bring up is they reception asst will not print out their vaccination package list for u. But kept telling us to bring her back for the jabs. when my hubby asked whether can go other pl for jabs, she says their clinic better. (of course lah, want to earn our $$)

hi fanny,
yah.. i told Dr wong that he's eyes are closed when he talks to his patients and she smiled saying that he's got small eyes.. hehe..
but i'll check again first and maybe highlight to him that my gal may not need the power when i go and see him.. i'll see how the first appointment go first then decide from there..
jabs wise.. i think i'll go to poly clinic or KKH for them bah.. cheaper.. hehe
thank you very much for the info though..

Hey Petrina
Thanks for the update! I guess I'll stick to Dr Keoy for starters and change if I really cannot tahan. Dr Ong seems tempting but I HATE waiting - it'll be worse if baby is not feeling well. Frankly, small eyes and closed eyes are quite different! Think Dr Wong's just being nice with her comments.
Glad u did ur shopping... I'm gonna do mine later after my waxing! Haha!!! Hopefully that'll go well.
p.s. what's wrong with pouring powder on umbilical cord? Do we get charged for it?

anks,
i saw XXL size from this shop at Bukit Timah Plaza - shop that sells beauty products. Near entrance to NTUC. Maybe u wanna check it out?
But the material not as nice as the soft cottony disposable type lah. But if you want bigger sizes, they might have it
. Good luck! Hope its not sold out.

I was at Taka just now during lunch...walked halfway, then suddenly right hip (butt area) had this sharp pain. Wah! Cannot walk (or stand) manz. Had to hold my right butt and try to hobble my way to a sitting area.
Alien,

vonn,
i started drinking coconut juice 4 weeks ago already.. very yummy.. hehe.. hopefully what they say is true about bb coming out cleaner..
my appointments with Dr Wong are usually either in the mornings or on sats.. but i'm left with 1 appt with her only coz now week 38 already.. so my next appt is next sat at 10am..
CSI,
every alternate day ah? waah.. no lah.. once a week only.. but very shiok to drink leh.. especially if its cold and the flesh is not hard..
my dad gets the thai ones from Giant supermarket at $1.20 each.. then he'll get 4 pieces and the whole family gets to enjoy them too.. got to snatch for my share first though.. otherwise it'll be gone fast.. hahah..
oh! i was at taka too for lunch leh! saw a few preggie mummies.. but tummies are still quite small.. dun think those were u bah..

Agnes,
Dr Tan said now really up to the baby on whether he wants to turn
There's still room for him to turn and he's quite active so I hope he will be good boy and turn in time! Dr Tan wanted to help me turn the baby last week but bcos I had contractions the morning of the appt date, she said cannot perform liao, otherwise will trigger my contractions. I was 35 weeks then.
