Fennie,
You doc says that 1kg for 30 weeks = ok? Faint? I think different gynae has different opinions. So long as your gynae thinks that it is oke, then no issue bah. I got climbing bp, so might be developing pre-eclampsia, thus cause for worrying. For many MTBs here. At 30 weeks, their bbs already above 1.5kg wor.
Sharon,
My colleague oso preggy. At 36 weeks, her bb already 3kg and she is very small size. Her gynae told her that her boy is fat. Haha. When my doc 1st told me that bb appeared to be smaller than average, I started eating alot and put on 3+kg in 1 month. Then I realised that bb still not growing well, so all the weight is gg to me. Thus I am watching my diet now. Eat stuff that are high is protein.
bizznow,
Ever since duno when (I think week 24) my bb already head down. I duno if she never turn or everytime we go scan, she will purposely turn to that position. Haha.

hi ladies.... I'm feeling unwell generally. For a week, I've had a wrist pain. tendonitis. xian. will take a couple of weeks to fully recover. Then feel heaty from eating KFC over the weekend... drinking chrysanthemum tea whole day yesterday didn't help at all. Then almost fainted on the way to work despite having a seat all the way on the train. xian.
ZuEn, my bb is just like yours. week 24, head down, but not sure if it he turns down only during scans. Now he's bigger so we can feel his body position. He's still headdown, back is on my left, and his legs are on my right. Now at week 30. At week 28 he was facing my tummy. Now facing my right side. Hopefully by the time he engages, he is still head down but facing my back.
zuen,
thats y i think different gynae say different thing,but since she said 1.26kg at 30weeks is average, i just take her words lor, anyway too big also difficult to give birth later.
cactus,
hope you feel better now, drink more water as the weather siow siow past few days, sometimes raining, sometimes so hot, take care k

mylittleprince, dun be too stressed out by your bb turning or not turning. there's still quite alot of space for our bbs to turn down or up. But by about 35 weeks, shoudl be more certain. and once engaged arleady, will be certain. I'm told if bb faces tummy, labour will be hard even if face down.. if bb faces back,labour will be easier.

Ya, we cna buy fenugreek from GNC, btw i think oversea spree will be more cheaper. And i saw in another thread, got one mummy actually brought the fresh fenugreek from wet market and boil it. Then she drink it, heard is more effective. Then i did a search for this fenugreek picture but still cannot figure out wat is it leh.
ZuEn,
Last time, hubby and me used to hug hug even at living room while watching tv coz nobody else at home. Now got mil, got my ger, aiyo even hug hug oso must secretly do it. Then now, my ger get easily jealous if i talked too long with hubby oso. Is true loh, quite hard to hug when lying down, coz my big tummy is blocking our way. haha...

tat's great...the sounds that u hear from the bebesounds will not be as define & precise as tat of wat we hear at the gynae definitely cos of the diff in technology used. however, the heartbeats shd be twice as fast as ours in rapid succession according to the handbook. tat is y i noted tat till today, hb n me havent figure out the heartbeats sounds of our bb yet from the machine...kekkeeke....the slower rythms tat u heard are probably (1) the kicks from yur bb; (2) the movements like bb changing positions, etc. the constant motor sound-like hmmming which u prob hear as well is tat of yur placenta carrying the nutrients to yur bb. if u listen to it just after yur meals, the motor sounds will be extra loud with ad-hoc "thumping" sounds.

hi mummies
Last round when i delivered in Mt E, they gave (or charged rather) disposable panties in netted form. Very good cos tight enough for the thick pads, wont leak. better than the dispoable ones which tend to be a little loose. Check with your hospital if they provide that.
Diapers & wet tissue, hospital will have an open pack in your baby 'trolley'. Remember to bring them home with you if cannot finish. You are charged for that.
I suggest bringing another blanket for baby. I always feel the only blanket they wrapped baby in is not enough, esp when baby is only wearing shirts and no bottoms in hospital.
Hi feifei/ Ellysia
Diff gynaes sees us diff. My next appt @ 32 weeks tomorrow, after which will at 34weeks, then 36 weeks, then will be once a week liao.

cactus,
I heart pain also but bo piang.. so tired at MRT, somemore my line is the heaviest one, north-south line.
No point u jeapadize yr pregnancy for $$, bb is more impt. if really tired do take taxi lor, $$ is not worth as compared to our bb.
If u wake up too early, u will end v tired bec' ored having deprived sleep throughout the nite, if sleep shorter hrs will have more prob.. unless u want to sleep early.
The problem with Mrt is not the 20-30mins standing (for my case lah). the problem is squeezing with so many people and poor ventilation, plus many people squeeze in and out w/o bothering and knocking us.. then got to watch out for them etc etc. a lot of energy need to spend to watch out for such things.
Then i hate it when i go out at raffles mrt, it is so crowded that i have difficulty going out on escalator and walking through the underpass to my office.
