I think better handover faster rather than the last week bec you won't know when you're gonna pop. Later if handover is not completed, they will have more "excuses" to call you and it'll definitely disturb your confinement and baby. I handover before my last week and till now, I still received calls from office and sms asking about this every alternate day until I got pissed and told them I'm doing confinement and breastfeeding, they cannot just send me an sms asking for urgent reply and expect me to reply promptly. Very angry.

superbee,
27kg ah? I think I let u be the winner then. LOL~
Sassy,
My son also seeing the PD at Kinder Clinic. Mt. A though. Consultation fee is only $50. I chose PD over GP cos I think PD know kids development better and they can assess them better. If financially allows, go the PD. GP chin chai chin chai one. And somehow, everytime when see GP, my son juz dun get well and after seeing PD, he will be ok in 2 days time.

yeah still here.. somehow His ways & timing will be perfect. So we're just waiting to see how things turn out, and enjoying my last few days being a mother of 1.
rE: PD vs GP vs Polyclinic
for #1, medicine from PD is more effective than that of GP & Policlinic. Plus being first time parents we had lots of qstns to ask, lots of doubts to clear. Altho jabs @ Polyclinic are FOC & from GP is cheaper than PD, we still paid top dollar for #1 to c a PD. I'm planning to bring #2 to a GP for his jabs tho... if serious thing crops up then we'll go straight to PD again. Wonder if it's true, but heard that jabs fr Polyclinic more likely will follow with fever, coz they use diffrnt (cheaper?) drugs? My #1 had no fever after his jabs, save for the MMR @ 15m.

Sassy,
You awake liao.. Was looking for you. Wanted to tell you that my son is worst, woke up at hourly interval at 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am before sleeping at 7 am.
Who are you seeing at Kinderclinic? I'm seeing Kumar. My son also had slight jaundice. He sent my son for blood test to check his jaundice level.

Ah Capp, really wish I can off my handphone too. But also scared my boss won't be happy if she can't reach me. Possible to set voice message for HP or not ah? I can set message greeting for my office phone to inform people that I'm on maternity leave but don't know how to do it for SingTel HP. 
Thanks VioletIce, Blackbatz. My handover list already hit 7 pages. I also want to handover earlier but scared my boss think I'm trying to slack. But anyway, she asked me again today whether my gynae could tell me when I'll deliver. Told her I've asked her before and gynae said can be anytime after 37 weeks. I'll be 37 weeks this Fri so got excuse to start doing handover next Monday. At least my colleagues still got close to 2-3 weeks to ask me things. But I think the real adjustment for them will only start when I'll go on leave from 28 Jan.

Sassy, I think for us is juz the visual guage that bb not too yellow especially the white of the eye. So funny, the jaundice index given is different from yours. Anyway mine is mild but so far no chance to sun him coz raining all the time.
Ok, this time round I got a sleepy day bb but super crazy over suckling at night. Suck like a 1over hr...seriously not right. Day time, eat one side can sleep 3-4hrs. By day 4, how much milk u gals who express have?
PD vs GP
I opted PD at TMC SBCC. Seeing Dr Ong EK now. Not too bad. Find him quite informative but sometimes rushing coz he got loads of bb to see. Erm..dun think the consultation is that ex. Maybe $50-60. I believe whether bb have fever after jab really depends on bb one. Those shld not get fever my gal got, those that shld get fever, my gal din. Funny...
Ok, well wishes to all mommies who are still waiting. Enjoy the couple time..

My fren works in a pharmacutical company, she told me the injections used at polyclinic is "lower" grade kind. Thus higher chance of fever.

blackbatz,
it must been hard on u... how long did it last for? was it at the initial stage or he is still behaving like tat now? danelle was seeing dr siva intially and when he goes off for holiday then he passed on the case to dr kumar. so far, wat do u think of dr kumar? how much did u pay for yr son's jab at kinder? the nurses are actually quite rude... got bad experiences with the them.

hi gals, slowly but surely, we are all popping one by one!
An update on my gynae visit at Wk 38:
My weight - I actually lost 1kg! Nurse says its normal when nearing delivery!
Baby size - My baby was growing well and quite big in 1st and 2nd trimester. However ever since Wk 36, baby wgt was 2.6kg (Wk36), 2.5kg (Wk37) and 2.7kg (Wk38 - today). Baby is growing, but at a slower rate. Gynae says its possibly due to lack of space in my tummy cos I'm petite. This makes sense to me, else why would her growth slow down suddenly
feeling sad that my lack of height is limiting my baby's growth. She commented that my tummy is very 'tight'.
Anyone encountered or heard of this before?
Cervix check - Gynae poked her fingers in! Ouch! Cervix is 1cm dilated. Sms to tell hubby and he got all kan cheong. I told him to relax cos some mothers here also remain dilated for 1cm without progressing into labor till 1 wk later. But he insists on pushing his leave forward in case I deliver early. When gynae did the VE, I screamed in pain a few times cos it was quite uncomfortable. Then she chuckled and said "Be open to the idea of epidural if your pain tolerance is low".
Baby's position - Baby is engaged and facing my spine, finally *phew*.
Gynae's parting words - "See you 1 wk later". Sianzzzzzz.........
QQ: Nice meeting you this morning
Did Dr Heng do VE for you too?

hi godsent, u're right, I wasn't prepared for the feeling of VE. Definitely not pleasant. Imagine how it would feel like if done by nurses instead of gynae...GOSH.
Ahem, my height is 1.5x (confidential)... haha definitely considered short. Today QQ saw me for the first time... ask QQ to guess my height sorry I a bit bo liao.
Actually, baby engaged also does not indicate labor soon. Can be 2 or 3 wks later. So have to continue playing the waiting game.
my hubby was actually over-reacting... i told him to relax he dun believe me.

Sassy,
Back online again. Went to BF. My gynae only works with Dr Kumar, no one else. He has been there for a long time. So far, my experience with him is good. Charges : Abt $140 plus incl. consultation with Dr Kumar.
I was very lucky, a male Filopino guy attended to me.
My boy would suckly for 15 min and fall asleep. Since he sleeps, I sleep. Then, 45 min later, "Wah!! Wah!!" Feed for 15 min and the routine continued. Gynae advised me to keep him awake cos BB at this age only take 1 long nap. If his long nap is during day time, I would suffer at night. Last night, I moved him to my bed and sleep together. Can't tahan the bending.
Bebe,
As you BF, your body is burning the calories. So you feel hot, bery hot, sweaty and sticky.
Every now and then, my mum will insist that I put on a jacket to keep myself warm. Cannot catch cold wind. If not, next time, hung sip.
Mom2nat,
My poo was also like that..hard, then soft...very cham...

wendy and godsent, regarding posting replies here, what I normally do is open a Word document and type as I read through all the posts. When ready to post then I will copy and paste into the white box at the bottom of the thread. Else I will also forget who to reply to and what I wanna say to each person.

Hi prata queen, looks like we hv the same situation. My bb growth oso slow down from week 36. Only 100gm per week. My gynae was concerned and may wanna induce me if my CTG not good. But thank God all is well. Now only 2.6kg at week 37plus. Hope this fri checkup, he will increase 200gm more on week 38. My bb only slightly engaged. Dunno when will he be fully engaged? Hv to play waiting game.
Hi wendyg, how's ur status now?
Hi wendyg, how's ur status now?
prata_queen, flyn,
i'm at 37weeks; baby was about 2.3kg 2 weeks ago, and 2.3kg this week... voiced my concern to my gynae and he also assured me coz mommy small sized (i am also 1.5X m) so it's ok baby's smaller in size... hubby asked if it's any indication of future growth but gynae said future growth depends on genes, not on size of mommy's uterus size... so there...
we are hoping to pop soon though (edd 29jan)... thinking baby's got not much space, always trying to stretch left right centre but mommy's tight tight tummy is very restrictive...
