ladies,
all this talking about baby position make me feel more and more excited and eager to see my bb tonite.

Tera, at the 24 and 28 week scan, bb was headdown but facing outside... 180 degrees to what your bb is facing. I'm quite sure his back is against my back cos I'm having pretty bad lower back pain and I'm feeling his kicks towards my tummy. there's also a saucer like dip around my belly button which is characteristic of bb's spine against my spine. hb also thinks bb's position is bad, but we have a minor disagreement on which angle bb is slanted against.. haha..not that it makes a difference lah..will be a damn long labour if bb continues this presentation loh.
fennie,
i contact this person, Marcus, Tel: 63282541 for the family card, and Victor Lee, Tel 93636816 for the debit card. Mayb they can help you too. I met the Victor Lee at the cityhall citibank branch. As for Marcus, he's the family card's incharge person. Try to contact them, if you're interested.

Cupid, yeah.. no joke. hopefully our bbs turn in time before engage... actually even after engage, can still turn outwards but we will feel more painful BH and if still dun turn by start of labour, contractions will be very painful, and will have a lingering lower back pain which would eat into our downtime (ie. the rest intervals in between contractions).
fennie,
in order to get the family card, you need to have the debit card first.. then only can apply for the family card. So, we need to apply 2 of the cards. To get 10% discount, we need family card, then pay by debit card in MAH for the payment. The MAH staff told me before when i called them.

cactus,
U are really very well-read. Thanks for the info. I was just happy that bb was heads-down and din bother abt his back position.
Based on cupid's post, it is still possible for your bb turn to be in the right position and then vice versa, mine might also turn around..hope not!!
Felicia,
Hehe, tonite u can ask gynae for bb's specific position so as to be clearer.

Cupid, yeah! let's continue talking to our bbs.. hopefully bb is going to turn okay.
Tera, actually it's good that our bbs are headdown already. Just that I'm greedy lah.. want bb to face inwards, like yours. If I remember correctly, both Cupid and you also want natural birth w/o epidural right? If so, bb facing inwards will give us the best chance for that cos bb's head will be a bit smaller (cos can flex) when bb's head goes out. I'm worried cos hb is very big size and this is a boy that we're expecting. I'm very small built.. and not very flexible, so wondering if I can labour without epidural.

Cupid, if you felt a sharp pain to the side of your leg, it could be a ligament pull. it's common when our tummies get bigger and our ligaments can't adjust in time to the additional weight. If not, sharp pain could also be bb hitting on your bladder esp if it is not empty. don't worry too much k. I'm hoping my bb can come out at 37 weeks.. haha. no later, no earlier. damn demanding mommy.. this one. 
fennie,
actually i never use debit credit before le.. from what the Marcus told me, it's like Citibank will "lend" us certain amount, when we wanna withdraw from the account, we can just write a cheque or from ATM.. then we need to pay back, if not will charge interests. So, he said when i'm going to pay the payment in MAH, remember to bring the cheque book with me, is easier, he said.
hmm.. is after medisave deduction if i'm not wrong. I am trying to contact him too cos i haven't receive my family card yet. Mayb you can check with him for more details.
when is your EDD?

I've never experienced that pain before, Cupid. gosh... 10 minutes is not a short time. luckily now no more. if still bothers you, maybe you should check with your doctor just to be on the safe side.
Honestly, I'm a bit shy telling pple I'm hoping for natural without epidural. scared pple laugh at me. so far, I only told my hb to get his support (I also make my hb read sections of books with pain coping techniques so he can help me during labour!). I plan to wait till bb engage, then talk to my doctor.

aprilmum, incase u think I'm a brave mom, just want to share my pain threshold is very low too.. I used to feel very very faint from menstrual cramps. so dun know how I will cope. I will just have to trust my hb and my body during labour and hopefully things pull through. But for now, just want bb to engage first, then see bb's weight and position, then perhaps talk to my doctor about my wishes... if bb is something like over 3.2kg, dun think I can do a natural birth w/o epidural.

Babycupid/Cactus,
Haha, same here mah, easy to say but not sure if can really perservere. Just got to keep an open mind that certain situations may arise on the day which prevents us from going natural or without epi or the pain could simply be too much for us to bear. I may not really know my threshold for pain that well, as in now I think I can tahan but then actually cannot. We shall try our best!

TF, I think we're looking at bb's position from different perspective, cos I've already ascertained tt my bb is headdown, and after that has been established, the other factors to confirm that bb is facing outwards are :
- saucer dip around belly button,
- kicks towards tummy.
I think if head is up, it's a different way of telling?
I didn't read into that cos my bb had been heads down since 24 weeks... so my concern became anterior/posterior... greedy me.
