Star,
I brought that pillow at Mums & Babes. I'm having the same problem as you when sleep, tats why i brought tat pillow. I think the wave was because bb is trying to move away when we squeze on them.

Crystal, go to bed n lie on your left, then put your palm on your tummy to see if u can feel the beat (shd be the baby heartbeat) or smtx small movt.
Let me add on to TF's post - If you feel a heartbeat, check to make sure it's not your own pulsation. Bb's heartrate is between 100 to 160. should be about 130 to 150 for us now. ours is much slower. sometimes, a pulsation that we feel on our tummy is our own beat - placenta bringing blood to bb.

Crystal,
Has your gynae called u back? Don't worry too much, maybe can try TF and Cactus suggestion first?
Also, I have a fren who did not detect bb movements for 1 day during her third trim and then went to hosp to check but turned out bb was fine. So I believe ur bb is fine too.
It's raining v heavily at my workplace here now. Made the fatal mistake of going downstairs to buy food (cos will be stuck in long meeting later). The rain and wind was so strong, i am quite drenched now despite using the covered walkways.

kekeke, ops, really mommies surrender to work liao.. 
Nevermind, work hard nw, reward yourself go shopping on weekends
Nevermind, work hard nw, reward yourself go shopping on weekendsCrystal, another way is to make sure you empty your bladder properly and frequently enough. sometimes, a full bladder may reduce our senstation of bb moving. bb may also not move so much cos not much space due to full bladder. During my NT scan, the sonographer told me to please empty my bladder (!!!) cos bb was stuck at an angle and she couldn't measure the NT thickness!
iamsnow, I'm getting cloth nappies first for day time use, then nighttime, will have bb try pampers premium. I don't think drypers is good leh.. I heard mommy poko and pampers premium are the best. Eventually, I will let bb try the less expensive ones, to see if his skin can tolerate it or not.

Can eat yoghurt right, the bacteria is good bacteria and will nt harm the baby right?
Talking abt bacteria, I had half boil eggs at very initial of my pregnancy and also once step on cat's faeces and have to wash (horrible smell). When i knew my baby heart problem, I was also wondering then if related to the eggs, faeces, etc.

I go wif wat cactus mentioned too. I tink i will skip Nepia (spelling?) cos just read in other sites, it leaks. The other i wld try is Huggie. So shd b mainly these 3, n choose the cheapest. Also, i will use nappies most of day, only diapers in nite.

TF and Cactus,
I am also intending to do the same - cloth nappies during day and diapers during night.
Hmm, pampers premium is good? Ok, will keep that in mind.
TF,
Don't dwell on what's happened (i know it's easy for me to say) but it's just that life's full of what-ifs and they are also qns we cannot answer. Things could purely be coincidental so pls dun beat urself over something you cannot be 100% sure of.

will use cloth for day and mamy poko for night use. Actually oledi brought one pack of NB size of mamy poko to keep.
ladies, i feel so bad in causing the mummies here to be tense up after my post on my friend's case and the half boiled eggs issue. Anyhow, it is only my friend's guess it might due to half boiled eggs.
So, pls, pls be relax and dont worry so much okie?

TF, can take youghurt. it's very very safe. don't think too much about the heart problem. Now, just have to rest well and take good care of bb inside you. My doctor told me once we cross 500gm mark, bb has good chance of surviving outside us. but of course, the longer the better. after 28 weeks, even better chance of surviving.. think it's 85% survivial chance. I did stupid things during intial stages of pregnancy.. eat raw food, unpasterzied cheeses... I know how you feel. but importantly is to get on with the pregnancy and try to relax. the heart issue is unlikely your fault.
iamsnow, if you have a maid and a ful time caregiver like mom/MIL, it may be good to use cloth nappies. I heard cloth nappies are more breathable, less rash (if changed often enough) and cheaper in the long run. also, it's easier to toilet train bbs/toddlers if they are used to nappies.
Tera- my colleauge said her daughter's gold butt can only use pampers premium... haha! Her son not that picky!

I think I better get the wedge pillow from Mum and Babes. Cos now my tummy is more slanted to the right side. Dunno is it becos baby keep "shifting" to the right cos I kept leaning on the left.
After my pregnancy, I am going to eat raw oysters, salmon and half boiled egg! My Baileys Caramel is still waiting for me in the fridge..
How I crave for Instant noodle now.

oh ya, ladies pls remember to eat yr fish oil or fish diligently every day cos now bb brain devt is v impt during this stage, according to what i read.
In addition, i understand from my clinic that our daily fish oil tablet intake is not enuff (tink need 200mg additional or someting like that), so i guess we probably still need to eat more fish in addition to tablets.

Kelcqi, most hospitals use whatever milk is sponsored by the companies... so we don't know what formula they will be giving. depends on what they have at that time. if you are particular on milk, you can try to breast feed after delivery at the hospital. at least, give the bb some colostrum. If you are particular on formula milk, maybe you can buy your own an dbring down for your bb if you don't plan to breast feed at hospital?
TF, I think you've been an amazingly brave mommy so far! Don't think too much about the heart issue. Most important is the spirit. There are some kids out there.. very healthy, very privileged (parents/family background) but they are really spoilt rotten, get into trouble with the law, etc. I'd be disgraced if my child was like that. there are also young kids with chronic illnesses.. and they are amazingly resiliant and mature for their age. we all want the best for our children, and I"m still praying that your bb will be fine after birth after the treatment. I'm sure that survivor spirit in you will rub off your bb.

Life comes and goes. Just live to fullest and best. Maybe I feel I got a very loving hubby, he always say he long to grow old wif me, even if we dun have kids. In fact, in today's Mind and Body newspaper, there's a story of even bigger heart mother who risk her Breast cancer life to deliver her son throughout the pregnancy. The article was fr Dr. Peter Chew, whom he met this lady diagnose wif Breast cancer n they wnt her to terminate her baby so she can go for operation. She choose to keep the baby and risk her life. The baby was safely delivered and soon she had to go for her operation to remove her growing tumour. But she died shortly after cos too late. Tat's really touching.

U eat instant noodles!! Very unhealthy!
Me dare not eat instant noodles liao since some years ago, due to some experience.
Got 1 time i am v busy at work, i dun have time to eat proper lunch so i always eat instant noodles. Then after a period of time, i noticed my hair turn white faster.
So i recommend dun eat instant noodles, no matter preggy or not.

Kelcqi,
If u intend to breastfeed, do breastfeed in hospital bec' u need to learn the correct latch on techniques. Dun ask for milk formula unless u really have difficulty latch on or u decided not to breastfeed at all.
Instructor told us different mth is different brand lah. But maybe they may repeat the brand lor.

I dont think hospital will allow us to bring own milk powder. Coz as far as i know, the milk they provide to our baby is in liquid form, so if you request them to prepare milk powder for ur baby, i think the nurse will find it to be troublesome. But no harm checking.
