i am into 35th week, i really dun mind bb poping in wk 37th, hehe. then dun need to carry a big balloon ard. so tiring at this stage.
dear cheesycake, can help me update?
Nick: gervynne
Week: 35
BB Weight: 2.622kg
Mom: 10.8kg
Bb gender: blue
just had my checkup yesterday and bb gained 450gms from the last 3 wks. gynae said bb's weight has slowed down. Now I am on weekly schedule to see my gynae so its anytime liao!! I am so excited!! but thanks to the horrible antibiotics that I had to take for strep B, i did not gain much weight (only 0.8kg) due to the diarrhoea and lose in appetite. To my horror, my gynae wants me to take the antibiotics again from next wk onwards till delivery! Oh no!!
jo: I know what you mean! I also cant wait for bb to be full term! I want to hold him and see if he really looks the same as the 4D scan, but i heard the longer bb is in mom's womb, the better it is. sigh
yvonne: i take durian once in 1st tri when i had cravings and durian puffs last month and i dunno if its due to the durians, but my bb put on about 800gms from the 28th to 32nd week. dun worry sometimes i heard the scanned weight is just an estimate but bb can be +/- 200gms the actual weight. Sleep and rest more, i heard bb can grow faster this way too.

Reposting something from another thread...
I'm 7 months along now with my first baby -- I'm due end of April. Can anyone tell me about the legalities of giving birth here in Singapore as I'm an expat working under an employment pass, and currently unmarried (though living with my bf, who's also working here)? Would really appreciate the advice. I've already spoken with our HR department and they told me it shouldn't be a problem. I just want to make sure though.
Thanks!

Gynae told me that mense cramp in the middle of night is ok, mild contraction but he mentioned that i may deliver early as my tummy is very hard. But all along my tummy very hard de, anyone here like me?
He is saying that my c-sec shd be wk 38, another 3 more weeks. He told me i cannt walk too much. I am not walking much already. Half the time, i sit down and lie down. I wonder how to increase bb's wt instead of my weight. Any recommendation?

Prawnie,
i also wanted to buy 24 by 48 by 3 inch mattress and have it customise to fit my cot. I just email to babysafe whether i can bring it to their warehouse to alter, but according to what u say, customise can be done at taka? does it include delivery to your place?
by the way, is there alot of stocks for this size mattress?i i afraid when i go buy next week, then no more already =/

RE: increase BB's weight
Yvonne, you can try:
1. Drinking at least 3 cups of normal milk (LIke Joelle said 2 cups of Anmum) - I personally having 1-2 Cups of Anmum (preferably in morn so ur body can absorb better which helps baby to absorb better too) + 2-3 cups of normal milk + yoghurt, you can also increase milk intake by having milk with cereals.
2. Take more carbo = wholemeal bread/high in calcium whitebread
3. More protein: Take Chicken breast meat/beef as a meal without rice. (I cook western style so it's very filling)
4. Drink Stew Hashima (xue3 ge2) with rock sugar + red dates, once/twice a week is enuf as quite high in cholesterol
5. Black hen soup with wolfberries: increase iron too.
Hope abv helps. Babe, Try to hv ur diet heavier in the day so BB can absorb more

RE: Bloom shoot today!
My Hubby & I enjoyed the shoot so much! Love the shoot that's why we took all instead
Wish I was much slimmer on the face & bigger on the tummy... hahaha... Nevertheless, love Maryann's style, very relaxing & feel so comfortable.
Amy, thanks babe! You've been great to arrange & coordinate this BP. It's a gd recommendation!

RE: choice of rm
HB & I already bked 1- bedded as we had visitied frens & relatives, realise single bedded really gives more privacy. Some couples have really big families, or worse, LOUD families so we don't wanna feel awkward to tell pple off. From our own "survey", somehow we always meet loud surrounding pple, so we better dun hv any chance. Plus, after birth, I wanna hv gd rest & let ourselves hv some intimacy, be it w me or with our little one.
RE: cramps+vaginal tenderness
My gynae says it's normal, due to pelvic flr muscle adjusting to the increasing weight of BB. Plus, my BB's head is down & he loves to do headspins, so I feel sore there. Heehee... today's visit is so fun! Little Chewy's butt was on my chest, "bumming" ard loh, I was wondering which part it was! I am cherishing all these special touches by him, although at night the pain has been getting more painful. Thgs we do for our BB!!!!

Koori, heehee thanks! Just hope he's happy down there how's urs?
how's urs?Koori: Its like if I keep losing weight instead of gaining, the the waterbag level might go down and might pose a danger. That is why need to be induced if no further weight gain.
I once saw a mummy at the clinic, the gynea was asking her to go and take her meal and see hw it goes as her weight is not gaining either.

Hi Mummies,
finally have time to log in after 2 bz days at work .. haiz ...
Just went taka bb fair after work .. quite disappointing .. not much things .. managed to get 2 sets of clothings for my bb Lucas only ...
I be going for C-section also on the 8th April .. Just booked the date with my gynae this morning and was told tat the date is very popular and he is only left with the earliest slot at 1.30pm ...
Do we have to fast b4 the C-section? Any mummies can advise?
