taman jrg,
Let's see if we can meet at Emerald. Hehe...
By the way, you staying at taman jurong? I love the pancakes at the S11 there. drooling now~~~
Pooh,
Yes, I'm seeing Prof Rauff for this pregnancy as well. I didn't know that NUH got a Jurong Clinic for women. I only know that there's also a Women's clinic at Bt Batok Central where there's a Dr Chua practising, but forgot if it's Dr TM Chua or Dr Selina Chua?
3 am? Hehe... I'm nocturnal. ZZZ in the day and awake at night.
By the way, I keep going to the toilet to pee every 1 to 2 hrs during sleep, and it's even worse after meals. It's so annoying and inconvenient. Do you gals experience this?

RE: What is engagement?
Engagement or "lightening" is the movement of your baby down into the pelvis that occurs toward the end of your pregnancy. This lowering of the baby into the pelvis typically occurs prior to labor, although for some women the baby will not engage until the very start of labor. The baby is considered engaged when the head has dropped below the pelvic bone.
When the baby begins to drop, you will notice that your abdomen will change shape, shifting down and forward. Your abdomen may even seem smaller, as the head of the baby enters the birth canal. This position creates increased pressure on your bladder, causing the need to urinate more frequently. You may also feel aches or pains in your pelvic joints and perineum as well. You may be able to breathe more easily after the baby drops, as there is now more room in your upper abdomen for your lungs to expand.
Engagement is measured in "stations", indicating exactly where the crown of the baby's head is in relation to the pelvic bone. When the crown of the baby's head is right at your pelvic bone, the baby is at 0 station, also called "fully engaged."

pooh,
Yah, my 3rd and yes, she doesn't want to come out! *faint*
Diana & Winnedy,
if it's ur first kid, baby can engage from as early as 2 - 4 weeks before birth.
For those who are having the 2nd or more kids, baby can engage as late as near to delivery day itself!! (i.e. labour). That's what I read up when I was reading up.

icebaby,
ya, dats wat i read too, that for subsequent pregnancies, bb sometimes engage only during labour.
Yanling,
Noted your update. Dun worry, only 32wks. Baby may have a growth spurt later. I think a few mummies here experienced bb having sudden growth in 3rd trimester.

Pooh,
Yesterday terok leh, not even total of 10 counts. I scared until I wanna cry liao.
Thankfully baby make it up to me today. By 4 plus, I hit my 10 counts.
Muzicgal just passed me her babesounds. Still exploring the sounds. Alot of extra sound, like got even water liked sounds. I'll try it later again.
Icebaby,
I dunno how true it is lah. But I heard from my friend's gynae and my gynae that the chances of inducing, only 1 out of 10 induce, the cervix opens up to 10 cm at the 1st try. Usually sometimes some ppl will require 2-3 times of inducing before the cervix opens up fully. Can take up to more than 24 hrs of pain. Somemore in some cases, by the 3rd induce, some gynaes will get impatient and will push you to C-sec. So if you have a choice, like no show or anything, don't induce better. Wait for the signs of labour better, Let your baby choose his own bday loh. Save money also. Just my 2 cents.

Kelcqi,
Haiz. I know that's why I contemplating only. Cos I really really sianz of going to work. Imagine I was online the whole afternoon working.
Anyway, the new maid is here. *happy* Kids seem to like her alot. This maid knows confinement food need to cook with ginger and sesami oil. *heng. Only part I am angry is that I told MIL just now during dinner to ask my FIL to go buy the fresh ingredients this Tue (tue is marketing day) so she can test some cooking. She can tell me to get a list and give my FIL. I was like DUH..I tot u shld know what to buy?
I told hubby that I will get my mum to buy some fresh food here next week when she come and teach abit. And check the "home" stock to see what's missing so that they can help buy. So less headache like that.
My younger boy climb on chair, slipped and hit his head. *haiz. Cry awhile give him sweet...he A-OK. He got tough head. Hahaha. Dun worry already rub and he happily playing again.

Welcome to this thread.
Muzicgal, I tried liao. But I find e heartbeats slower than what I heard at Gynae. My hubby said it's very fast already. Dunno leh. Today she move, so still ok, tml see how...
Your last day tml being preggie. Enjoy and indulge in all you wanna have for now. No Sins.
Icebaby, hmm, how's your hubby's decision? He also wanna ask u to induce? I know word is very sian lah, but see it positivly loh. Mayb your baby have better plans to "sabo" your boss? Keke. I only feel that if your decision ended up in C-sec, like very "bo hua" wor...
Your kids love the maid ah? Gd gd... Tell your mum to come help you with your confinement stuff lah. U already know your MIL style, at most next time she said she got help out with u, you ask her"in what???" See what she said loh.

Hi Muzicgal,
Good luck for your big day tomorrow!! So excited for you!! i also wish that my son can come out soon!!
As for the car seat, it is advisable to put it behind, unless you can deactivate the airbag for the front seat, else it will be very dangerous for the baby.
Hi Icebaby,
Now that i am 37 weeks, having irregular contractions here and there, sometimes really quite painful, my hubby super stress, he really wants the doc to suggest induction! My first baby also induced but the pain was horrible cos no time for epidural, but i think with epidural should be ok!
hi cutie 188,
welcome!1 Wow 3rd baby already!! Good luck!!

Inducing, dunno leh.
Yes, I agree very bo hua if end up C-section. That's why thinking and now talking to baby to ask her to come early.
Will call my parents later today and ask them to purchase the food needed to cook and get my mum to come down. The good thing is the Indo maid can speak pretty good English.
Smurferoos,

I am trying not to use epidural this final round BUT again, might change...depends on the day itself.
muzicgal,
GOOD LUCK! Tell us ur birth story later. =)
