My bill is more than 3k 4 bedded in TMC. My BB is big so actually should not go for natural. This time Doc did ask me want to go for natural or not as Rayen is considered smaller but I don't have the courage to go for natural liao. Since your BB haven't engage why don't wait for a while and see how...

Actually I don't suffer that much as I am on epidural so the 1st 8hr I am like sleep and sleep and didn't feel any contraction. Only when they told me BB in danger I start to panic.

I also feel that since is your 1st attempt try natural 1st as the wound really heal faster as compare to C section.
 


moony,

The massage price is pretty standard outside. As long around $350 - $400 is cheap. If u can get a massage lady lower price, it will be best...but it depends on reviews also.

The massage lady I will be using is same as Jaspire. Her name Siti. She charge 7 days - $280. We both comfortable with her cos we tried her pre-natal before.

WCT,

Same. I read online and also the bible. Hopefully the fluid doesn't decrease too much and no need to go for any emergency or any inducing.
 
icebaby,
since this is your 3rd birth, chances of a successful induction is very high. So if really need to induce, dun wori. I'm sure you can go through it naturally.

swifpygal,
the last time after induce i dilated to 8cm in 10hrs. almost there, but becos of my high fever and bb in distress, decided to go for c-sect. quite wasted. Cos of my fever, i had to stay longer at TMC. For single bedder, 4N I paid in cash $3k after medisave subsidy.

jaspire,
all the best for your delivery tomor!
 
Tracy, tks!

Jaspire,
So good, you can get to see your little one real soon. Remember to upload the pic of your cutie for us to drool first. Keke...

Vel,
if not, you can try ordering confinement meals instead.

Yueling,
We can take green papaya during confinement for more BM supply. It is said that soup cooked with green papaya & fish head can aid to increase our BM. Some ginger can be used to rid the fishy smell.
 
swifpygal,

Jaspire has a back problem (I think last time slip disc) so the gynae advise her on C-section instead.

Jaspire,

Waiting to see ur baby girl too. *grin*

WCT,

Thanks for the comfort.

Poky,

Mine also not leaking. Different from my 1st and 2nd kids. Haiz.
 
hello ladies

yalor... i dun wan induce...unless gynae say bo bian lar...need to..then i will opt for c section...

For me..just went to checkup... no signs of contraction leh! hai... my gynae didnt check for dilation...onli did a strep test(duno B or C..) cant remember..ahhaa

she say..wait..let nature take its own course! omg...i am getting impatient!

very sian lor..so went for a morning swim after the checkup...now feel more relax..my swollen legs also feel more relax now =D

choc,kelcqi,
hehe, i also eating alot now! Jus went marriot cafe for high tea ystrdy and my frens were amazed at how much i could eat!

Vel,
is your maid able to handle newborn? like bathe and feed? if can then u jus order confinement meal delivery can liao.
 
Feval, icebaby, pooh,
found one of the nipple got clear fluid after bath last night. when squeeze, can come out more. but not alot to stain my pj obviously. is this consider leakin??

now concern cos read that the first flow actually contain the antibotics for bb leh... if now leak, where got blance when my bb comes out?? anyway to stop?
 
poky
dun worry, now the fluid still count as "raw".. not the perfect one for bb.. once bb is out, ur body will somewat "regulate" this fluid to ur bb's needs. there'll be enuf for ur bb. a newborn actually needs only abt a teaspoon/tablespoon of BM for the 1st few feedings
happy.gif

btw, dun purposely go squeeze ur breasts hor.. will cause contractions
 
pooh,
dun dare to even toch nipple,,, scare later produce even more. =p then does this means tat i dun hv to worry too much abt not able to produce bm after deliverin?? or will it also stop halfway one??

now monitorin the glucose... so hope that bb belly will not b as big in the nxt apt... so she better dun come out now.... bside,, i stil yet to take my bloom shots!!! at least anther two wks.... =p
 
poky
dun think will stop halfway ba.. had nv happen to me.. hehe

now u how many weeks? my 1st one, i got GDM also.. induced at week 39 plus.. bb is 3.9kg
 
pooh,
i now in my 35wks.. 34wks then tested positive GD. today went back clinic to rent the machine to monitor le. =( at 34 wks, bb was 2.68kg. was ur 1st one also that heavy during 34wks??? 3.9kg v big leh.... is it c-section??
 
poky
i was abt 28 weeks then tested positive.. mine was natural with gas
happy.gif
din expect it to be 3.9kg, that day my gynae even told me, shld be ard 3.3kg nia
i forgot mine was how big during 34 weeks liao
 
pooh, wow,,, 3.9kg with natural,, u must hv push really hard... peifu peifu.... i hope mine can b natural with abt 3.4kg at max. =p mayb at 37wks, will purposely make contraction comes..... heee... then can avoid big bb. =p
 
jaspire, all the best for your delivery tomorrow! Hoping to see your girl's pic soon! Take care..

I'm feeling so tired these days. Sigh.. Another 4 more working days and I'm on leave.. Can't wait!!!
 
pooh,
wow! 3.9kg natural. well done!

poky,
same here, hoping bb will be out next week so that not so big. now he's abt 2.8kg so good size to try natural.

cheri,
after 2wks hospital leave, i can't wait to return to office. hahaha, the opposite.
 
jaspire, good luck for your delivery tomorrow!

went for gynae appt yesterday (instead of waiting till Monday, my original appt) as i felt my baby moving lesser these couple of days. The nurse hooked me up to a machine to moniter bb's heartbeat for like 20mins, i was quite worried cos sometimes like her heartbeat race very fast and other times slower. But my gynae saw the chart and said it's ok, although it was the first time i saw him slightly worried (cos everytime i'm worried and ask him questions always end up he says it's not a problem and ask me not to worry)..

he did a cervix check, wah quite painful man! then he mummered something about 1 to 2 cm, and then later told me it's good news cos it means that if he needs to induce me then anytime also can -_- although he never tell me if baby is engaged or not leh.

later that evening i had quite a bit of discharge with dried blood kind, wonder if that's my muscous plug, but then didn't bother to call and ask my gynae.

the cervix check was so painful that i forgot to complain abt my very aching back and thighs, all the way from my lower back to my butt and hamstrings and inner thighs, as if i did a thousands squats like that. also forgot to complain abt my painful finer joints (they're not swollen though, so dunno if it's water retention).

anyway he ask me to moniter bb's movements very closely, if fewer than 10 times a day must go down to check bb's heartbeat on the chart again. but then he also say counting bb's movement is very subjective, one mother's 10 times might be another monther's 100 times. but he seemed quite worried, and say if bb still not moving much maybe can consider inducing, but then still depends on how bb will behave till next fri (when i go do heartbeat chart again)..

finally got down to packing hospital bag today, but only 60% done
sad.gif
 
Lynn,
your gynae din say why he seems so worried? or why need to induce if need to?

cervix check was not painful for me if done by my gynae. Jus abit uncomfy. when the nurses do it then it's very painful. i tink the discharge with dried blood is due to the cervix check?
 
lynn,

i also did a cervix chk, bt nt painful, only abit nt comfortable..when he did a cervix chk, u try deep breath (when his finger insert to ur vagina)n relax, then will b better..

for my case, he said still very tight.initially he din tell me bb engaged or nt until i asked him. he said "wa, bb head very low liao", but he pressed hard on my pelvic and said nt yet engaged.

after cervix chk, i went home n notice have brownish discharge, bt after half a day, it gone, so i din call him..

so, how u count bb movement?how abt bb weight?

my next appt will b next wed.
 
tracy, he was worried cos if bb's moving less it could be in danger, although from yesterday's heartbeat charts and scan etc it all seemed ok. he mentioned it could all be well today but then days later if bb still not moving much then very hard to say exactly when bb will be in danger, so maybe he brought up the subject of inducing once past 37 weeks, although he said best case is bb start being active again and stays inside for as long as possible.

piggymymmy, my baby put on only 200g from 2 weeks ago, i thought that was little but he thinks it's ok. So now abt 2850g, not too big already, but me quite worried she's not putting on much weight
sad.gif
maybe i didn't prepare myself mentally for the cervix check, so was quite taken off guard. and he did a test for dunno what infection (i forgot) before the cervix check.

me still having some brownish discharge, but then tummy dun feel as uncomfy as the previous 2 days (like whole day tight tight feeling). but now stand up/sit up will usually be painful, if not from pelvic area it will be tummy feeling tight
sad.gif
 
lynn,

he did nt perform that infection test on me..only cervix chk..

actually during week 35, i have mentioned he measured twice of my bb weight..first weigh at 2.7, then he said too big, he measure again, 2.4.so now i am 37week, bb weigh at 2.8+..i also nt sure bb gained 100g or 400g.

don worried too much since he said ur bb weight is ok..

did he tell u how to count bb movement?
 
Hihi Ladies,

Jaspire, Jia you tml! Can't wait to see ya baby. God will protect u and little Kayla. :D

Lynn,

Are you ok now? Try to rest more ok?

Same same, I also notice less baby movement nowadays. My gynae said for my case is my baby's cord partially round her neck, so I'm also very worried. Nowadays I so desperate for baby to kick me. So I help myself to more sweet stuff. Everyday will talk to baby, for every small little thing after asking her after meal how is the food etc. Then I'll also shake shake her more, tap on my tummy to wake her to move. I notice that Music seem to stimulate my baby. Like I'll purposely play those hard rock or noisy music to make her move, then I'll transit to classical to calm her. Haha. Me bad mummy...

Muzicgal passed me her baby monitor. If you're really worried, you can get the monitor from Kiddy Palace, they're selling it at 59.90. Can listen to baby's heartbeat when if she's not moving.

Don't worry so much ok? Keep us update.

Tracy,

Wow! Marriot Hi-tea. Lukemummy, Muzicgal and I went that time also. Shoik leh. All the food there. The service very gd also. Think they see us 3 preggie, they gave us pillow to support our back. I check other tables, don't have pillow like us. Hee...

Choc,

I also behave like hungry ghost like tt. My mum said hor, during pregnancy, better eat what we feel like eating. Else baby come out will be like "hungry ghost" like tt also. Dunno true or not...

My mum also now already telling me confinement cannot eat this, cannot eat that. Listen liao makes me so sian. So I help myself to soft drinks recently. She kept scolding me, then I told her, later 1 mth cannot drink leh. Let me drink now ok?

I suspect my blood sugar seems to go low very easily nowadays. Used to have Low Blood Sugar, and will feel giddy out of sudden. Recently I experience alot of giddy spells, esp in the morning. I so scare I faint outside...
 
Kelcqi,
Yes! The Marriot cafe hi-tea is nice..lurve the drunken prawns, kway pie-ti, donut, cakes! The service is good too, they provided a pillow support for my back too. The next day, they even call me on my HP to check how I felt about the buffet.
 
hi gals, ytd went for check up.. mm.. tracy can help mi update my boy's wt? 2.9kg @ week 36..
thanks! gynae said his head is down [had been down since the last 2 appt] but nt engage yet.. furthermore, last 2 appt his back is facing my tummy.. ytd go c him.. his face nw is facing my tummy.. pengz.. my gynae said its easier birth if bb's back is facing my tummy.. hopefully my boy will turn ard when time comes..
oh she check whether i gt dilation anot.. cos i told her i gt cramps.. n she took some discharge to go test for me.. c gt infection anot.. actually i read frm other forum alot says when doc checking ur V for dilation super duper pain leh.. but ytd hor.. the procedure is just liked doin pap smear test leh.. its discomfort lah.. but nt to the extent of super duper pain lor.. pengz.. made mi shiver abit when at 1st my gynae said wanna check dilation for mi.. lolx.. oh.. sad to said no dilation.. mm.. my bb nt ready to come out n play wif mi.. ;( den i ask my gynae is bb's wt too big for natural cos i scare i cannot go for natural.. she said its difficult to say cos the wt is estimation n furthermore it depends more on mother's built.. she said her biggest natural birth record is 5+kg.. but den again the mother is bigger size n tall lah.. she said the mother only gif 2 pushes den the 5kg bb is out liao.. but she oso said gt some 2+kg oso cannot push out bcos the mother's built.. but she dun encourage csect.. she said normally 1st time she will let us try to push unless bb's heart beat drop or we request for c sect den only she will do.. if nt she will encourage ppl go for natural.. hehe.. i hear liao more 'fan xin'.. i tink wif my built i tink i can gif birth naturally ba..

RE: Counting of BB's movement

My gynae asked me to monitor my baby's movements. He's saying that I should expect at least 10 movements within 12 hours, that's the minimum. Anything less than that, we need to call up the gynae or go down to the hospital to play safe.
 


I'm wondering if we are able to consume any sashimi now. Keke... That's my craving for now. Wahaha...

I'm craving for raw tuna, salmon and most of all, oyster. Yum yum.
