Reena, u done all ur housework, and ur two kids are sleeping ah?? I can't imagine how to be a supermom like u.. haha... how come u got time to come online?
Yasmin, is your baby weight ideal?? I'm very curious how heavy is my baby now - but have to wait another 2 weeks before I see gynae!! SOB SOB SOB.
I tried to walk really at a relaxed pace so that i won't feel tired or sweat too much.

Sheryl,
Before I was preg with #3, I'll "lock" them out in their room and mop the house (daily basis), they will only come out when the floor is dry as my #2 was barely 18 months then. Can't let him wander around the wet house unattended.
Now, hubby sweeps and mops the house as I'm totally breathless with just sweeping one bedroom. Even when I change bedsheets, it'll take me hours! My mattress is on the floor and I'll need to push it out to clean all the corners. I do this with the help of my kids. Must make them feel useful hehehe DD#1 is coming 5.5 and DS#2 is 2.5 so I leave them alone to play by themselves now while I do all the other chores. They try to help esp. laundry but it's always a mess if they try to help, you know what I mean? I'll usually ask them to play by themselves or do some drawing so that'll distract them and I can get my things done. When I come online, I'm also multi-tasking, preparing dinner at the same time hahahaha I need ME TIME, else I'll go crazy.

Babycenter is my BIBLE for everything about Pregnancy!!!
Here's something to share
Tilt It, Baby!
Your pelvis is crucial to a smooth pregnancy and delivery, so treat it well. One way to strengthen your pelvis is to do pelvic tilts regularly. These easy exercises (you can do them anywhere) strengthen your abs, soothe backaches during pregnancy and labor, and ease delivery. After the fourth month, tilts should be done in a standing position — so up against the wall, Mama.

Kais, you can start your countdown! Quite a peace of mind to know when you'll be delivering right? 14Feb birthday for your babies - so wonderful! They have each other to celebrate Valentine's day with.
Reena your imagination is very good!!! I don't find SWH smiley at all.. mabbe he's too stressed up cos he's still single now!!
Yasmin, good to know!

Yasmin,
I suppose you are in week 33 now? Your bb should weigh around 1.918kg.
I'm now week 34 and bb weighs 2.2kg. Gynae says my bb is big as week 34 bb should weigh only 2.1kg *eyes rolling**

Reena, yah, ur hubby should help with the housechores!
We hv pt helper, but my hubby still does quite abit of housechores.... whereas i basically just sit and relax since i start growing a bump... i wonder what happens in future after delivery - dont know will be used to doing chores or not.. HAHAHA.
Kids helping housework
I think it can be fun for them as well.. hehe or have a reward system..haha.. (ok, not implying CHILD LABOUR!) the more they do - the more *likely* to give them what they want.

icic.. on wonder.
how does ur gynae predict when bb will be out? i know my gynae will never predict for me, as I had requested for a few times, and her ans is always it cannot be predicted.
why do glucose test now! i understand that it is done ard wk 28. I dunno how to stay off CNY stuff, already open the bottles up and eat like a cookie monster! HALF a bottle down!! hahaa those are meant for guests - not me!
Feel bones?... mmh, maybe that explains the hardness ard my bump...haha - well i can see her movements! my bump just moves from left to right - sometimes the right side is larger than the left side, depending on where she is. LOL!!!!
usually, i feel alot of movement closer to pelvic area, do you?

Dunno leh, my gynae say must do, so do lor..no choice.heheh...
I also dunno how she predict. But she did mention that she don't see him coming out earlier unless he decides to engage himself earlier. I had this strange feeling he might be out end feb actually, so I guess I might be wrong. Haha!

For MTBs who are delivering at Mt A
I just did my pre-registration today at Mt A. According to the staff, the MCYS family card entitles to a 5% discount on single & double room packages for first child born at MAH, 10% discount on single & double room packages for subsequent children born at MAH.
1 yr membership is $20. URL: http://www.thefamilycard.com.sg/
Seems the advertised 10% disc rate for DBS cards is for other medical services and not maternity services.

just now i had a delivery dream. hehe. i dreamt that i was in the hospital and my water bag broke. the nurse wanna wheel me into the ward, but i was cool as a cucumber and insisted to walk on my own, then also managing the pain well. hope my actual delivery will be like this too!
Hubby
My hub cleans and mops the floor twice daily, early in the morning before he leaves for work and after work. He also walks the dog daily without fail. He's helping me lah... but just that for certain chores, I can't afford to wait for him because he can only do it during the weekends and that's when we'll bring our kids out to the park/malls.
In addition to all these chores, I still need to do marketing WITH 2 in tow. Learnt my lesson, instead of letting them wander freely in the supermarket, I will bring along a small trolley and still push the NTUC trolley and let them sit inside. Dump whatever I need to buy and when I'm done, I transfer the grocery to my trolley and walk with the kids. It's a chore to do grocery with kids, esp when they are constantly stopping to look at things. There was once I met my MIL in NTUC and she asked me "Aiyoh, you came alone with 2 kids ah??" I was like "Huh, I'm home alone with 2, if I don't bring them along, who will take care of them??" Anyway, I kept mum then...
Hospital
Looks like alot of you are delivering the MtA or TMC. Heard lots o good reviews for MtA.

Circumcise
I wanted to circumcise my son too but hub was very much against it. Many of my friends did it, not for religion but for the hygiene. However, I couldn't convince hub then so my son's intact.
Clover,
I walked when I was going to deliver DD#1 then. The nurses looked at me and asked if I'm sure hahaha! Abit stupid because the nurse was pushing the wheelchair besides me and when we reached the lift, she insisted on me sitting on it.

i think most march babies has already flipped head down by now so if you experience the hardness on the top tummy, it should be the butt. have you ever feel like the baby is stretching her hands in your tummy? i did. then i feel this small protuding hardness on the left bottom of my tummy. i will always try to catch it and she quickly withdrew it away. it could get uncomfortable when she tries to stretch. my tummy will get all unshapely.

My hb same as urs.. we have pt cleaner but hb also helps the pt cleaner. And having kids to do housework together seems to be like a good idea BUT u know what.. my kim help us do housework by using her handkerchief or pillow to MOP the floor.
I am having bad headache due to the weather. Since noon time the top of my head hurts.. Even since i gave birth to #1 i experience this problem whenever it rains.. Haiz..

<font color="ff0000">Hi, Sorry to interrupt. I'm from Jan MTB thread. I'm letting go of 3 packs of unopened Drypers NB (28 pieces each). Because CL prefers Pampers or Mamy poko. Anyone keen to take over? $18 for 3 packs, can buy individual packs too. Already discounted price so please don't bargain. Buyer to self collect at my block (Tampines). Thanks.
