(2008/05) May 2008

poky, I felt the heat too. lucky me, the air-con is right in front of me.

moony, I felt the increasing tireness too. I wonder if it has sth to do with my sleepless nights. Been having lots of dreams and kept waking up ard 3-4am. Tried to sleep and before I go into deep sleep, the alarm rang. Argh....

Recently, my tummy felt tight, it's like my skin is not expanding as fast as my baby. Whenever my girl kick, I felt that my whole tummy moved with her.
 


jaspire- ask ur gynae for cream to apply. it helps. i was also on mc for qte a no. of days since the beginin of this yr! can sense my sup nt happy but i dun care lor. since doc gv me mc, means i shd rest at home mah. tat time i hurt my rib cage, was given 7 days mc.

as for tummy tightening i feel it at nite.. so xin ku.. turn left n rite oso nt rite
 
I am in 29th weeks but my baby moves can be seen from 27th weeks. Initially i was excited to see but as he grow bigger, my tumy tighten, soemtimes also press my heart position when i sleep... I read from books these few weeks baby grow very fast so i am thinking not to eat too much stuffs especially those "tonic"
 
jovial,

my tum is also v tight, esp at nite. same feeling like it's gonna burst. and can feel my skin stretched from the back all the way to the front. can't breathe properly when it's so tight like that.
 
piggy_mummy,
the outer pants dries fast, within a day. It depends on baby, like my gal, she can tahan the nappy being wet so i had to keep checking her. Whereas my sil's baby, abit only she dun like and will cry so need to change.

oldmums,
ya, i heard too abt the Goo.N promo ending tomor. I hope they extend..cos now NB OOS..

Jovial,
hmm..BH contractions hor is like period cramps.
 
Tracy:
Oh.. so I tink mine nt BH contraction liao.. cos it nt like cramps le.. its jux tightening of stomach...

LavenderDreamz:
So we have the same feeling eh.. it so uncomfortable.. it makes me feel so fat n unable to eat my dinner...
 
jovial,
ya, ultra uncomfortable. can't stand, can't sit, even lying down also dun feel gd. i wonder how my tum is going to grow bigger cos it feels like there's no more spare skin to stretch liao! this week my heartburn is also q frequent. me getting q cranky at nite with the discomfort...poor hubby have to put up with my crabbiness. hehe
 
Hi Ladies

RE: Full Month Celebration

I will be holding a buffet at a chinese restaurant. No choice, in-law's order. When running thru the guest list, realise there's near 100px. That include our collegues, close friends and both sides relatives. Mine a big department, and in-laws big family. The buffet will cost at least So most like i will only invite close relatives and close friends to the buffet. Will send nice cakes package (with customised cards, baby photo etc)to the rest. The deliverying of cakes will not be on the same day of celebration. Most likely 2 days later bah.
As we hold the same celebration for my SIL son, during the buffet at the restaurant, my in-laws will prepare ang ku kwehs and red egg. The guest just take when they feel like eating. Then after lunch, will cut a big traditional round cream cake and serve.
 
Hi ladies,

The thread is moving fast today.

Yesterday the Bratox Hicks sent me crying. So tight. The whole tummy tightens up, and painful. I'm so scared I might go into labour.

Thankfully my gynea is those who will watch for your pocket. He never asked me to be admited, just make me monitor and bed rest. Today better liao.

I don't understand, how come bratox hicks, even pee can be painful. As in inside tummy, anyone had similar experience?

<img>
 
Hi Kelcqi,

How long is your condition like this? Did you try to talk to your baby? I heard my colleage story tat she told her baby to wait for her husband back to Singapore then only labour, so coincide the day her husband arrive at Airport she got admitted.

I think talking to baby do works
 
Kelcqi,
Even pee also pain? oh dear...i know if pee is pain could also be urine thread infection. did you highlight this to your gynae?
 
Moony,

I called my gynea. He asked me to monitor loh. Last nite was horrible...

Yaoyaomum,
My condition started at 4 plus in the afternoon and never go off. Even medication not working. I double the dosage last nite myself. This morning finally cool off but still abit tight leh.

Tracy,
The pain comes from inside the tummy, not at the tip when I past urine, could that still be UTI? Last time UTI is peeing painful. Last nite, it's some kinda pressure pain... Duno what that is.

Give birth will be like that or not?
 
Wah...poor kelcqi...

for me if my tummy tighten till buay tahan...i will sayang the tummy..tell baby dun do this to me..i feel painful and uncomfortable...

coincidently...i feel better after a few mins...

Wah...maybe u check with ur gynae ba...

take care gal
 
WOW Kelcqi you double the dossage must be really painful!

Still, i think try to talk to baby can works. Whenever i feel a bit not comfortable, i 'll talk to my baby and ceased to take any medication since pregnancy especially painkiller. So far so good, only got 2 times leg cramps till now, no rash, no swollen &amp; strecth mark yet.
Think every pregnant lady got different conditions, ask gynae any other ways to relieve other than medication? My family doctor told me to do physiotherapy whenever i fall sick rather than prescribe drugs for me, &amp; i walk a lot everyday, also watchout my everyday diet.
 
Choc,

I talk to baby no use, take deep breath trying to calm down also no use. The tightening continued, in the end I cannot take anymore in the office and started crying. My colleague got a shock also.

Yaoyaomum,
I am on some ventolin like medication for Bratox Hicks cos I experienced it but no pain type like 5-6 times a day during CNY and gynea is worried cos I'm only in my 6th mth. 5-6 times(series kind) a day is consider alot looking at my EDD. But yesterday's one was painful. I called them this morning and they said might be contractions rather than Bratox Hicks.

The dosage I doubled is for the womb to relax. Cos 1 pill never work, so I doubled it. I'm very scared. Think dunno I should resign or not now.
 
Kelcqi,

don't think resign is a good idea if you need financial support also losing 3 mths maternity leave at this point is not worth... looks like only way is to keep monitoring &amp; admitted to hospital as soon something goes wrong. Did gynae give you reference letter if emergency? have to work closely with gynae and see if early labour is needed. Bless you
 
Kelcqi,
oh dear...but all is well now? normally i also take only one pill of ventolin. only told to take 2 if really very pain and cannot tahan.
 
yaoyaomum,

I will not be entitled to Maternity leave cos I'm working part time. In fact, they cut me to part time when they found out I was pregnant. But that period of time since I was having very bad MS, I just make do with the changes. Thats why even I resign now, only lose out on the 2 months part time pay only. Hubby suggesting me to resign cos he said now low pay, plus the work stress, he rather I resign than later having a preterm baby in ICU. But my boss just msg me today say I only need to come in 1,3,5 for work till delivery. Like that likely pay cut again. Haiz, but I like my working environment cos I have alot of clicks there. Kill my time easily...

My gynea never gimme any refer letter wor, he only say monitor and see how. If really not getting better, go see him immediately.

Tracy,

My gynea never told me to increase dosage, I did it on my accord, cos one pill never reduce the tightness, so I take one more, this morning then better.
 
Hi mummies,

kelcqi,

wah...tats very bad leh... i also cant help much here... but hopefully these few days u will feel much better lar...

u mean when u go give birth u are not entitled to any maternity leave at all? or got some amount of $$ given to u?

hmmm...if can go to work lar... at least got pple to talk to...else boring at home...
 
Hi Kelcqi,

last week i had a similar episode like yours. Stomach tightened up so badly that i couldn't move. Lie on bed also still pain, like muscle being pulled so tightly and couldn't even change from one side to another. took a few hours for the tightness to go away. Since then, my tummy tightens every time i walk for more than 10 minutes, so i hav't dared to move alot.

Went to see gynae on regular checkup yesterday and he prescribed ventolin, as well as progesterone, and another drug Nifedipine (stronger, only if really necessary). Said if like last week again, will have to go down and get jabbed. My gynae is quite super kanjiong one, so he takes this very seriously. Told my husband to bring me down to labour ward if tighten again and pain doesn't go away after a few hours...
 
Hi all, this thread is running fast. I just visited my gynae today! Baby is all well and fine and next appt is 3 weeks later. I gained 3kg over the festive season. Gosh..

jaspire, please help update.
My weight gain @ 30 weeks = 11kg
Baby weight @ 30 weeks = 1.5kg

Also, I bought some stuff from Pureen KKH today cos they having promotion of buy 2 @ $11. The maternity pads were priced at $7.50 but bought at $11. Also got baby wipes, shampoo, detergent. Very cheap. Haha..

Bought bibs from mothercare as well. Got 20% off.

Now waiting for Taka sales to buy everything from there.

Some of you already talking about full month liao ar? So fast... I think I will probably order from Neogarden or Rasel cos their food quite good.
 
hey gals morning.. TGIF!!!!!

kelcqi, i hope u r alrite nw.. juz get more rest n dun move abt.. nw i oso worry abt myself..
my lower tummy at times will cramp n my tummy will sometimes tighten up.. but so far [touch wood] nt as serious as urs.. haiz..
 
hi all,

back frm a day off! hehehe. so shiok to spend my time slpping n doing hsework..dun even feel like cuming back to work today but nvm coz tomorrow is WEEKEND!!! yippie!!! =)

the thread is running so so fast lo!!!! i actually spent 30mins reading the past threads. hehehe

hi piggy_mummy,

ya, if u let baby wear the cloth diaper, recommended to wear the "bumwear" besides the nappy liner.
the bumwear is kind of water resistent ah. so unless it gets wet or dirty then u nd to wash it.
so far, I got 4 dozen of cloth diaper and 4 "bumwear" only...hope my baby dun wet the "bumwear". hehehe

u can get it frm a lot pf places. like the shop @ queen's street, kiddy's palace, mothercare etc. u can ask
the sale assistant and they will show u =)

hi kelcqi,

i count bratox hicks as per tightening. tight-relax 1 count, then tight relax 1 count.

hi tracy,

wah! u even time the interval ah, i didnt la but i est it nt to last more than 20secs per contraction.

hi moony, be@ans and winnedy,

the tightening is like u suddenly can feel ur baby "harden" into a lump or wat. then u will feel ur abdomen
suddenly bcum v tight n hard. sometimes its v sudden and tight then i will stop watever i am doing then wait for it
to go off and will sayang and talk to the baby ask him why so hard? ask him if he is ok? ask him
dun contract so often coz mummy v uncomfortable. hahaha.

i understand that its ok to have a few contractions in a day. unless its very regular like
once in every 30mins, once in 15mins or even once is 5mins then its not normal at this stage
as it indicates u will be going into labour soon. then u will need to go hosp for the nurse/doc
to chk ur cervix and see if it has dilated. its pretty normal in the 3rd trimester as its a form of practising for the uterus to prepare us for the
actual labour.
 
mornin mummies.. taka bb fair has been changed to 6 mar instead of 9 mar. am gonna take leave n go grab watever i need! keke

cheri- did ur gynae say ur bb on the big side? mine is 1.6kg at 30 wks n gynae said mine's considered big.
 
Kelcqi, hope u better now. me rather agree with ur hubby. if not entitled to 3mths, pay cut, work stress, not worth to risk ur pregnancy in icu. but if u like the cmpy there, mayb can chio them for lunch or dinner when u feel better n bored at home? my tots only la. u in so much pain, also cannot fully concentrate on work, ur boss understandin enuf to take off ur stress off work??
 
Hi felval, I also feel that contractions. But since it's so random. It's probably Braxton Hicks. It just feels tight and heavy all of a sudden then after like 10s, it will be back to normal.

ant1712, my gynae didn't say he's big or what leh. He just say everything is good. Haha.. He showed me baby's hand and feet. So cute.. Hehe..

Anyway, it's friday today! And I'm going office soon..
happy.gif
 
felval- i nt sure leh..

kelcqi- hope u feelin beta today. if reali cannot take the stress frm wrk n nt entitled to ML, can consider to quit n rest at home wil be beta for u?
 
hehee....happy that today is friday lor.... finally... been so uncomfortable for past few days... keep vomitting my lunch or dinner...

hai... i think i also have the braxton hicks... my tummy will tighten itself...then i got to sayang sayang..till it relax... heng still bearable till tis moment....

oh ya... john little having diapers sale on 4th march till 6march... 15% off..

the rest of those normal items is 20% off storewide except for avent brand....
 
hi all,

just went for my regular check-up this morning. everything's well. my sugar level is under control and weight gain is minimal. phew!! but still have to go on poking myself coz i think its a good precaution for both baby and myself.

hi kelcqi, try to find something to ease your tension and free your mind. have 'happy' food (something that will cheer you up - chocolates?)
 
winnedy,

hmmm.... dun think I'm giving away photo album. Juz some personalized gifts with my babe's photo on it. Though I tot of making a video on my girl from her birth and that's provided I have the time to do so.

Happy that it's Fri today but I need to be back in office on Sun morning for meeting. Sianz...

Into 28 weeks now, I'm starting to feel ache on my shoulders and lower back. Reali hope I could give birth to my girl earlier than EDD (on the condition that she's healthy and born w/o implications).
 
I felt sad today when I looked at myself in the mirror. It seems that my butt has grown bigger (my butt is oredi big to begin with). I look like a walking pear now. *sobz*

Tok to my kolic who gave birth @ TMC, she reminded me to buy PJ with front buttons as TMC dun provide such PJ. I hv started to shop for stuff required for hospital stay.

Kelcqi,
if you are being treated in such a way, my opinion is no point continuing service the company. I met with some issues at my work recently. Haiz... My boss seems to like this new girl that he hired recently so much so that he can overlook all her mistakes. Now he hired another staff to take over her job and that girl will so-called tentatively take over me during my maternity leave. The question is, when I'm back from the maternity leave, there will be one staff who's redundant.
 
gdame...dont worry so much about how u look...importantly baby is happy &amp; healthy ya.
Now tat my appetite has improved so much...i'm munching away like a hamster! every other minute! =P
 

gina- i'm also givin birth in tmc n hvnt buy PJ yet!

taman- til 25 mar. my nxt gynae appt also on 7 mar! am intendin to take leave to shop too! keke
