That time for #1 juz like that go labour ward got induced, then when pushing bb told gynae i want vacumn cos bb's head quite big then like that story ends finished delivery *lol*.

JSP,
Curly hair is nice but need a lot of maintenance need to apply those sculpting lotion after washing the hair and twist the hair a bit so that when dry up got nice curls. Thats y this time round tink i go back to rebonding *lol*

easy going and relaxed and borderlining on bochup
we've both realised that he's frequently close to rolling his eyes at some of our questions. and he's always discounting my concerns. i know they may be stupid but first time mummy, of course got alot of questions what, right? i think that's rather justified.
oh and yesterday i said my fingers were very very painful and that my finger tips were turning purple. he said 'chop them off!'. ummm. was that supposed to be a joke? hmmm. didn't think it was funny.
re doing anything with hair
questionable - some books say nothing has been proven when it comes to putting chemicals in your hair etc. but old wives tale is that we shouldn't la. just to be sure. i know for sure i will do something to my hair before going back to work but maybe toward the end of the 3 month period la
JSP
hey try to put your hands higher, i.e. not on bed level.
re engagement
labbit said before, it's like having a ball between your legs hehe.
re contractions
oh oh oh. i think CONFIRMED i'm having BH now. on and off it was 'am i? am i not?'. but JUST now, i'm having a tummy squeeze and everything is hard and it's a tad bit uncomfortable. a bit like a cramp. IS IT HAR???

ya yesterday we asked and he said nope, not engaged.

oh i love the temptations chocolate cake!
speaking of chocolate. i'm wondering if it's all the choc milk and choc bars that i've been eating that has caused this little sumo wrestler to grow so much. hmm. i feel guilty leh. i hope she doesn't grow up to be a 6 foot nordic woman
my hubby was very funny last night. he said to her: "poppy, if you grow too big, you cannot wear alot of the little pink outfits your mummy bought for you, you know" haha. appealing to her vain side. brilliant thinking!!
PS yesterday, grand total: 18 pee breaks. phew!

My mom's block is one of those 4-storey high ones, facing the church. Perhaps we've seen each other before 'cos Bishan is not that big actually!
As for the shipping, still deciding on which company to go with 'cos with CGW, using HSBC card actually got insurance lor... but also read abt lots of bad comments on them.
CB products, I'm using their calendular cream... I find it good for my eczema. Sometimes use on my boy too and he likes its smell... will even ask me for the cream whenever he sees me using it
BF after colouring
I have to colour my hair 'cos got lots of white hair!!! Now preggie, dun dare to and they are all showing
For my #1, I threw away the milk that was expressed immediately after my colouring session. Am worried that the chemical gets into the blood stream. Since he was so young then and the system immature, better play safe lor... but very heartpain to throw the milk!!!
PB
Dun bother abt your gynae. He'll only be with you at the delivery suite after the nurses have confirmed you are fully dilated and ready to give birth. Before that, he'll just come in and check on you once in a while. For my case, I informed the nurses when I felt I could not take it and needed the epi...
Engagement
JSP, for my case, my boy didn't engage till labour... think you'll feel the baby/tummy to be much lower when engaged.

oh oh just to share about hair colouring! my old colour was fading off so i really couldn't tahan half my head being a diff colour so i geh kiang, go and buy the henna natural dye cos no chemicals mah. then when i went for a cut my hairstylist said it's too dark and next time if i want to dye/highlight, it will be harder. sigh....
PB,
Is your hb big-sized? The local mummies-ang moh daddies whom I know/see usually have bigger-sized babies. Think they follow daddy's size.
Just to add to the reasurrances that the others have mentioned: when you go in for labour, just let the nurses (and the new ones when they change shift) know your preferences. They are very nice, and will cluck and fuss over you like mother hens. Like SNL said, your gynae will only appear at the last moment anyway.

wah..dun mean to rub salt into the wound, but think I would have snapped long ago if I had your gynae PB..
BH? take note of the time and frequency...juz in case..
HAIR: can't wait to perm n colour mine too! wish my hair was naturally wavy...think I'll play safe and discard any BM 24 hours after it.. hopefully will have enough supply to sustain the 24 hour "dry spell"
PB..yours must be really funky and short now if u gotto wax it everyday?
DILATED: had a friend who was 2 cm dilated for 2 weeks plus before she went into labour.. guess it's possible huh
ENGAGED: my BB's downward position but not engaged either..book says for 1st timer may engage earlier, repeat mummies can engage super last minute onli when in labour.. but when baby's engaged, could be anything from now til a few weeks later before baby is out too..so I guess it varies for every mummy..
DOGGIES: dordor, your doggie's not neutered? keke good thing mine doesn't hump.. but I gotto discourage him from jumping into the baby cot or he may accidentally step on my baby next time!
fiona..so sad to hear about you losing your dog..think I'd go mad and quit my job juz to comb the whole of SG everyday if it ever happens to me...
AVENT FROM AMAZON: heard they are having a fantastic deal for it now, think my SIL got one recently too but can't recall who she shipped with..either CGW or Globeshopper
TALKING TO BB: do you all do this often and in public too? I've always been talking to my dog a lot, and now my baby in the tummy..but get kinda embarrased when my IL's hear me doing it...hope they dun think I'm nuts...
MAIDs & IL's: think it requires a lot of "bite your tongue and be patient while training them" and lots of "give n take" but yet we need to know where to draw the line huh...not an easy task..
PREGGIE ACHES: been waking up recently due to an aching rib & back from sleeping on the side for too long.. will wake up and roll onto my back for a few minutes..but have to turn back onto the left again after a while..
I don't seem to have water retention, but not sure why the base of my feet is really hurting.. gotto walk gingerly after sitting down for too long or when I first wake up in the mornings...

my hubby is ok ah. 180cm i think. but heavy bones lor. i read in 'what to expect when you're expecting' that babies tend to follow mummies. sigh. i hope so. my friend who's got a swedish husband (she's local), babies came out 3.5 and 4.2kg respectively. gulp
btw, how's the book!

i think it's normal. cos baby is down liao so pressing on everything below it
my tailbone was very painful the last few days, but now ok liao
also, if baby is big, there is a chance of getting (que scary horror show music now) piles. cos baby weight add pressure
re BH
i just told my hubby i'm having BH and he also asked me to time, in case. specifically ask me to write down on paper some more. but since i don't know if it's BH or not, i just put "???" haha.
he so funny. said 'don't go into labour so far away from me! i want to be with you! cos i want you to feel like you need me
' hehe.

Morning mommies.
I had my 35 week check up yesterday. My bb is 2.7 kg.
Wireless internet at Thomson Medical Centre.
Recalled someone asked about this. I asked the info counter yesterday and yes, they do have wireless internet. When checking into hospital, just tell them you want it so it can be activated.
PB,
Wah your Gynae!!!!!! Mannnn if I were you I would probably flare up immediately. I mean, I know he's professional and done this many times already but if it's his client first time, he had to listen to what your birth plan is and offer you his advice later on.
My gynae is very talkative and he's very accommodative to my girl. he lets her put the ultrasound gel all over my tummy and entertained her questions on the ultrasound screen. So nice hor.

re: hair

JMon...it's great that you got the grant, and balance can be deducted from medisave.. is it because of the type of ward you chose? or KKH gives out grants?
PERMING HAIR: haiz... I need to perm every 3 months to keep it wavy...n that was how I got all the dried split ends before having to chop it all off... now hoping my hair will grow faster so I can go back to nice wavy long hair!

i tried other salons too... found jean yip the best... if u interested can intro my hairstylist to u... usually will tell him to perm more curly so that can last... coz after afew washes tend to be less curly... he usually will recommend to use different curl size which makes the curls more natural n lasting... also, after perming muz really take the effort to apply lotion onto hair to maintain the curl lor...

i just confirmed yesterday. i actually booked for 2 bedder. but i changed to 4 bedder
so you or me bringing mahjong set?
just had baked salmon with broccoli. yum! and cake after
but it's shared cake la so not so bad. sigh. gynae asked me to cut down on sugars.
oh updates on cordblood banking
yesterday met the cordblood lady. so we signed up to donate liao. (and when we told the gynae he made a face again. sigh.). she showed us how it was done la. but i think it means that the doc will cut the cord, not my hubby
and the good thing is that the lady said that ultimately, it's still mum and baby that comes first. if (choy) any complications or what, the cordblood thing will take least priority.
anything else you girls want to know?

PB... i told my gynae about storing bb's cord blood and asked whether my hubby can cut the cord or not, then he said depend on situation like whether need emergency c-sect or not (*touch wood), and told us to remind him again on delivery day... my hubby is very keen to cut the cord haha. think u may ask your gynae again...

cellow,
me got curly hair too but to achieve those jap like curls still got to perm leh...
re: hair perming
my hairstylist does very good jobs on my hair, even when it's permed not so curly can still last very long, and usually low maintenance as well. but the salon too far for you gals liao lah, it's a neighbourhood salon in jurong where i stay...only cost me 100+ for perm, colour and treatment. alot of ppl ask me where i did my perm somemore...hehehe
Jmon,
wow...so lucky dun need to pay the hefty bill.
re: cord blood
the gynae got to collect the specimen immediately after cutting off the cord(anyway my hubby won't be doing it), besides the cell count which is very important, the gynae got to do it very carefully and skillfully too as to not waste it. Maybe that's why PB your gynae made a face(he's quite rude hor).

cordblood
hmm okay i will ask my gynae tmr when i see her if hb can cut cord if we're storing cordblood. i still haven't decided to store to the bank or a private one.
but maybe hb might faint when he see so much blood. who knows.
maternity leave
cannot start next week like PB liao. colleagues i'm supposed to handover work to, keep disappearing mysteriously so i still have to come back to office next week to follow up. sigh.
mt alvernia
oh i booked 1-bedder coz ..... i'm very teh and i think i want my hb to stay overnight with me (and it's my own medisave i'm using, so oh well)
baby cot sheets
who was looking for baby cot sheets? i just bought from aussino last night, 19.90 for 2 pieces, jersey material. quite soft, but it's plain coloured types, got blue, pink, peach, ivory.
pink swaddle cloth
pinkbunny, i just realized (going through baby things last night) that my swaddle cloth is also pink with butterflies! (i got it free when i bought my ameda pump)

i had breast-length hair (long enough to cover breasts lah) , then i cut to shoulder length when i got pregnant and was throwing up a few times a day (coz sometimes very hard to keep hair up when bending over the toilet bowl) then now i'm at ear-length.
my neck feels cold.
