mrswrx,
Can you check if there's camphor in the backache cream that the doc gave? I heard camphor is dangerous to bb and had been tahan-ing with my backache, putting my precious yoko, yoko away. ;p

Jp,
My bb will be call Shauna, which is supposed to mean "God is gracious". Hb & I flipped the entire bb name book and finally saw this name that we both agreed on.

thanks. ok, will enquire hospital direct, n really hope to change to A if later baby can redirect agn. Ya, I was taken aback on seeing the patients ard me in KKH on my 1st visit. In fact, b4 my Q was a pregnant prisoner escoted by police. These r all the different faces of life. Already felt the lady who takes calls to change appt date very rude.

Ellysia
Thanks. Will try

danryan,

oh no.... your boys must feel terrible. Good thing they ok now.

My boy 39 degrees only, he already blur blur. Whole face burning red. he's only prescribed fever mixture. Now getting harder to feed him the medication.... he already recognise it's medicine, will always kick up a fuss every time he sees the bottle or the sringe
 
mrswrx - As long as BB is fine, we mummies are happy liao!
happy.gif


Zuen - It does take some time to start the communication. After repeating several days, BB will know the codes *wink* That' a nice name!
happy.gif


TF - Wah, your DH so loyal to his co ah? But as long as both of you are happy with it, that's what counts!

feifei - I love going for check-up as its my chance to see BB. Yup, the 3rd trimester is where we will pile on the weight...BB growing mah!

piyoz - Aiyoh, know how you feel. Sending over lots of quick healing vibes!!! One thing that works for my boy when he has fever - put him in the air-con room with temp of 25 degrees C to bring down fever.

Mrswrx,

Heh, so nice you ladies meet up? Yesterday I saw 2 mums standing there chatting and their little bb in front of them in those carrier. So funny. One bb was scratching the other bb and the bb like so gong gong let the other bb scratch.
 
feifei,
do u mean if put on too much weight within a mth might due to sugar problem?
Aiyo, cham! Coz i had put on 2.5kg so far from my previous check up which is 3 weeks ago. Moreover i had eaten some durians over the last weekend. I think is time for me to watch my diet as well.
 
TF - OIC...ha!ha!...still have to time!
happy.gif


feifei - No worries lah! Just listen to your obgyn lah...they know best! When I had my #1, I weighed 73kg before I pop. Imagine me before PG was 49kg....pengsan!!!

hey morraine,
u can try ordering from pine garden cakes in amk ave 10..their cakes are nice.. got orange truffle n lychee martini..super yummy.. u can go to their website to check it out.. http://www.pgcake.com
 
Danryan - You know, sometimes I wish I was a FTWM. As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side...ha!ha! However, since we are going to close shop after #2 (1 boy, 1 girl), once I ensure that #2 is independent enough, I will go back to the work force. Hopefully its not too late...haiz!
 
JP
Either bb boy or gerl...i still close shop at 3....now thank God i get a bb gerl....but not sure want to have ligation or not.

Girls...

DH and I just discussed on the hospital bag which we have to pack 1 month before I pop.

I found this list from flowerpod.com.sg very useful.

Standard List Of Things To Pack In Hospital Bag For Day Of Delivery:



Documents To Bring:

1. antenatal checkup card
2. ATM cards (?)
3. gynae's letter (if any)
4. NRIC of husband &amp; wife
5. outpatient appointment card


Items For Mother:

1. disposable breast pads --- to absorb leaking colostrum.
2. disposable cotton panties.
3. elastic hair band --- to tie up hair.
4. face towel.
5. going-home dress --- to wear on day of discharge (a full dress is easier to wear and is more comfortable, particularly if you happened to undergo an emergency caeseran delivery).
6. hair comb or brush.
7. maternity pads --- to absorb heavy postpartum blood flow.
8. mobile phone and its charger!
9. nipple shields --- to protect sore or cracked nipples while breastfeeding.
10. nursing bra --- to use with disposable breast pads.
11. socks --- to keep feet warm.
12. spare plastic bags --- to store soiled/wet clothes &amp; towels.
13. spectacles with case --- if you are short-sighted, but leave your contact lens at home.
14. tissue papers --- bring the soft-pack travel-size type (eg. NTUC/PASEO brand).
15. toiletries --- eg. shampoo, soap, facial cleanser, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.


Items For Baby:

1. baby blanket or wrap towel --- to wrap baby when going home.
2. booties.
3. mittens.
4. newborn cotton vest.
5. newborn-size disposable diaper.



*** Hospital May Provide The Following: do check with your hospital beforehand, or from the start of your 3rd trimester.

1. baby clothes.
2. baby diapers.
3. baby wrap blanket/towel.
4. bath towels --- in case you need to shower, simply request from the nurse.
5. disposable panties.
6. maternity pads.

*** If you do not want to use what your hospital provides, you can bring your own.

Thks to all mummies for encouragement on my test result

Felicia and feifei,

There is once i gain a total of 3KG over 1 month time. Gynae is worried. Tat mth how do i gain so much weight, roughly this is wat i eat:-

1) 2 portions of meal for lunch and dinner each. If i eat noodles, i will eat 2 bowls. If i eat rice, i will add rice and meat.

2) Fast food almost everyday. Macnuggets and coke, ice-lemon tea.

3) Ice-cream cones - around 2-3 per week

4) Chocolate - some pieces

5) CNY goodies - few boxes

Then cos gynae ask me to cut down diet, i gain only 1KG over 1 month checkup. Then this month i gain 0.5KG over 1 month checkup.

Basically this is wat i cut down:-

1) Meals - i cut down to normal portions but for noodles cos i always feel hungry faster, i add 0.50 or $1 to normal portion. But i dun eat 2 portions.

2) Fast food - i cut down to once per week.

3) Coke - no more coke

4) Ice lemon tea - 1 per month

5) Ice-cream - none in that month

6) Tidbits - some peanuts but no chocolates

Roughly this is how i change my weight gain.. maybe u all can use as a gauge.
 
hi everyone,
been a while since i logged in, hope everyone's doing fine. TGIF!

ellysia,
congrats on the results.
happy.gif


TF,
many thanks on creating the database. ;)
 
Can anyone share if putting on 8kg at 26weeks is too much?I am already on the heavy side before pregnancy, so afraid I will put on too much when time to pop.
 
ellysia,

I'm not sure how much weight my bb gain so far as my check is on next Thursday. But for myself i had put on 2.5kgs within this 3 weeks, total increase is about 4.5kg
But i feel bit guilty over the durians i ate last weekend.
 
Ellysia, don't worry abt starving bb during 1st few days. it is normal for bb to lose weight for first couple of days. bb only needs colostrum. actually don't need even formula milk. but if it makes you feel better, go ahead to supplement. If your PD is pro breastfeeding, you're likely to get alot of support subsequently for breast feeding.
 
actually i didn't keep track on my diet for this pregnancy....but i gained only 1 kilo fr my last check up....

JP
thanks for the useful list....
 
Hi Fennie,
If I recall correctly, your EDD is 15 June? Cos so is mine and I am in my 26th week as well. I have also already put on 8kg and according to my gynae it is ok (cos during my last visit abt a mth ago, I have already gained 6kg) and she said it was ok to put on another 2kg in the next mth. Target total wt gain for whole pregnancy is 14kg. Hope that helps.
happy.gif
Actually hor, I may have put on more cos I ate quite a bit when I was in HK. :p Will know next week on my next visit.

JP,
Hiya!
happy.gif
 
ellysia,
i envy u leh..after cut down ur diet..weight gain reduced significantly..for me it's really different story lor..since my last appt 4weeks ago till now..i oredi gain 3kg..n i dun even take fast food like u do leh..lunch i eat eiither yong tau foo or fish soup lor..all single portion..
 
ellysia,

Thanks for your details diet explanation. I think my weight gain more due to my intake of food.
Started from 2 weeks ago, i keep feeling hungry. And i still take my normal 3 meals as usual, then plus tea break and supper

Over the past few weeks,2 times, i suddenly feel hungry about 8pm plus, then i request my hubby accompany me to mcdonald, in the end i eat up one burger meal plus fries. Maybe this is the reason. I think i really shld cut down my fast food.
 


felicia,
don't feel guilty for ate durian. i'm also looking Durian now.. lots of ppl ask me go for eat durian now cos its good for bb health..
