reirei,
KP sale no more? sob sob sob. i still tot of getting the braun thermometer from them

when yr baby is moving n doing her waves, get yr hubby to put his hands on yr tummy to feel it. initially baby may not wanna move cos she is not familiar with his hands. but after some practice n when baby is familiar with hubby;s hands. she will move. now every night my hubby looks forward to playing with baby and trying to catch her backside!

[vone]

mine is d 3 panels 1. it was given 2 me by my gynae when i had my boy. he said tt it can help me 2 compress my tummy so tt i dun feel tt pain when i walk, stand, etc. it's usually used 4 mummies who had c sec. my gynae gave it 2 me coz my boy was delivered via emer c sec previously.

 

[luvlel]

Vone,

Thanks for the note! Do I need it even for normal delivery?

 

[vone]

luvlel,

if urs is normal delivery, then no need. u may wanna consider d swimming float instead. bt it aso depends on d mummy hor... coz some of my frens need it, some dun.

 

[faintz]

Blood Type - Cos I got a shock when one of my friends suddenly msg me , saying she might be adopted.. cos she is blood O but none of her parents are O.. and her mum suggested her to adopt a kid (as she has no kid yet though trying) so as to get rid of bad luck and then will have children.. So it set me thinking of my long forgotten biological classes..

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

Twin Stars,
Hahaha, gyanes like to give standard answers 1 but to go BW must get gynae letter leh so if wana go, sure must ask…was asking my sis wana go together or not but she oso scared of pain…hahaha

[doll_puppet]

today i went for my prob 'last' BW before i pop..dunno y, but it felt a little more painful than usual...maybe i thinking too much...but anyway done liao..so...crossing my fingers will pop in the next 2-3 weeks before growth again...anyway..after popping , also must wait maybe 1.5- 2 months before waxing again...sian...cannot imagine the pricky feeling..eee..

i rem my gynae telling me to use nipple cream now to soften and moisterise the nipple now...cuz this will help reduce the chances of having crack nipples (when bf-ing)...anyone applying already?

 

[celynlee]

yln,
thought rubbing our nipple will stimulate labour?

 

[doll_puppet]

i think applying a little cream is ok ba.....not like rub a long time lah...haahaa...

 

[snow74]

celyn
ha ha...no lah, cos both gap and ON sent mail to me mah.
incase anyone really wanna buy, just make sure they dun miss this big discount lor. =)

[valnsw]

medusa,
I go to Dr Heng at her Bedok clinic. Find it a hassle to find parking at East Shore clinic.
Looks like I will check with her on the Strep B next Mon when I see her.

snow,
received your email on the spree. Thanks for helping to organise. Ya, will be gd if next time can have spree for desitin or First Teeth toothpaste. BTW, when are the loot expected to arrive in SG? Cos I was thinking if next Thur or Fri can collect from you?

krex,
hehe, Sorry la. I meant if it tastes nice or not? Cos if too sweet or "siap siap" don't knw if want to buy.

mrs teng,
glad to hear that you got your milk supply kicking in already!

thanks for reverting on the raspberry leaf tea. Yup, mulberry provided the link.

shay,
hihi *waves* long time no see wor.. how've u been? your EDD is early Aug right? Excited or not? Your next appt on 9 Jul, too bad mine is earlier, else can bump into you.

LC,
even if your friend's parents is not blood group O, your friend possible to have O blood group.

Re: nipples
I don't know if rubbing/washing the nipples will stimulate birth but for me I have to use wet cotton wool to wipe/clean like almost everyday. Cos there will be some colostrum leaking and once it solidifies, it becomes some crust on the nipple. I have to clean it up else i scared later block the milk ducts.

Anybody experience some tingling sensation in the tummy when cleaning/wiping the nipples?

 

[dardar63]

valnsw,
I heard that lansinoh cream for the nipple is quite good.

 

[dardar63]

hi all,
anyone ordering their full mth package from Choz ? I have a $20 voucher with min purchase of $300. Expire end Sept. Anyone interested ? Pls PM me

 

[valnsw]

Catherine,
what's the nipple cream for? More for moisturising to prevent cracked nipples right?
Actually, mine is more of the prob of needing to clear up the crusts/deposits when the colostrum dries up.

I'm interested in the Choz voucher, may consider to get something from them. I just had some cake from Choz, not bad. Is the voucher valid for ang ku kueh too?

 

[shint]

Avocado,
Me not seeing him next Mon, just went on Tue. Next appt is 22 July i remember. I prob call him and ask him whether can do it earlier not lor.

Yuuri,
Hehee, me din mention but if u check u know who la. I had him last pregnancy and went back to him cos he did a good C-sect and cos it's convenient for me so I can ignore his quick and standard answers.

Everything is like no problem for him when he did not really help with my problem leh ... my discharge .... he din even check, just prescribe me cream, etc when i describe to him. He did not do any test.
I cannot drink milk, ask him if need calcium pills but he said dun need, will cause constipation but everyone else is like taking it to supplement.

Is this your first encounter with him?

 

[dardar63]

Valnsw,
i think the cream is to prevent the cracked nipples. To clean up the crust, i think can just clean with some baby oil.

The voucher i think is valid for any purchase above $300.

 

[yuuri]

Shint,
Haha..yah this is my 1st pregnancy and chose him. At first quite skeptical with his 'chin-chyeness' but now used to it liao....and find him quite amusing.

 

[shint]

celynlee,
Thanks, will get in touch with them. Anyway, I am not keeping it so why waste it rite?

Catherine,
I had been checking around and it seems ok wo.
Will check with him why he thinks so lor.
Anyway, my tummy feels like it's bursting. No more space liao leh.

It is really big, it is now 42 inches know.
I am quite short oso ... so no place to expand liaoz.

 

[rfang]

valnsw (valnsw),
be careful and do not touch the nipple for long as it can cause contraction.

 

[rfang]

my tummy is 36 inches now, expanding some more lor.
unlike my first pregnancy, it is 36 inches when i give birth.

[storeberry]

Yurri: At 1st I also abit hesitant about his short & fast appt time.. But now also get used to it until last appt he keep asking me & DH whether we have any questions for him or not.. Haha.. But he is really reassuring & kind & amusung as well!!

Seeing him next mon!! Excited to c bb again!

 

[yuuri]

Storeberry,
Haha same! After every check up, I will rush out myself! Until there was once he was like "Don't rush. Sit down, any questions?" Then I think hubby and I went into a shock and just stare blankly at him! I also seeing him mon..morning. You too?

 

[shint]

Avocado,
My first pregnancy I was 42 inches when I delivered. Now oredi 42 inches ok. My normal is ard 27 inches and now expanded so much .... so jialat.2nd pregnancy, the stomach really lose liao. I hope can recover back else i really dunno how.

You are delivering earlier than me .... imagine i wait another 1.5 months ... how many more inches to grow? *faintz.

 

[shint]

Storeberry, Yuuri,
I always prepare questions to ask him and last pregnancy, he said "Wah you really come well prepared". Last week, I saw him and had a few questions but he made me feel that I had to rush to ask him questions that I even forgot to ask the important ones.

Standard procedure.
Go lie on the bed, scan baby then he'll say "Baby moving, ok". Next, go to the seat and he will say "Any questions?" and finally, "I'll see u in XX weeks' time" - 5 mins consultation. Super fast.

Maybe i more gan jiong that's why when he does not answer my questions at all and say "everything ok" .... i dun feel assured lor.

 

[shint]

So i normally depend on my own research for answers.

 

[mummy81]

Hi Vone:

can help me update...2.1kg@34wks

still a tad small but Dr say shd be 2.7-2.9kg at birth

 

[celynlee]

morning mummies. wake up early to take my medicine.

shint,
yah, why waste when can save another person's life.

valnsw,
had you tried sweetest moment before? between choz and sweetest moment which is better? still can't decide between the 2.

 

[yuuri]

Morning! Today must wake up early for the cot delivery! yay! Baby has a bed finally! Next thing, hubby will be hounding me to clear up the room cos all along we use it as an extra room so dump all our rubbish there !

Shint,
I also tried writing down the questions..best thing is my hubby will be very reaassuring throughout the time between the 2 visits and say he will make sure to ask all the questions...but then during consultation, he suddenly kan cheong until forget he's holding a paper with questions until I remind him!

 

[diorsnow]

Anyone here also have like emotional breakdown? Sigh..dunno why also.. Maybe i was v tired from all the walking n hubby dont understand how tiring it is to be pregnant. He jus think i m plain lazy...

Last night shopping at Ikea, he keep giving me the cold shoulder n i feel very 'wei qu' n felt like crying but didnt cry... Then i sneezed..urine leaked.. Thats when i go toilet n burst out crying. Sigh...

Thanks for letting me vent my frustrations....

 

[doll_puppet]

M2B
i go to a friend's place to do BW...not the saloon kind...she used to work for saloon but came out to do on her own...so she got all equipment at home...i have with her for many years liao...more than 4 yrs ba...so BW for me is ok...as for gynae letter...actually, i dun care leh.....cuz my fren told me she got customer who go for BW on their 38 weeks...but hubby must accompany and wait outside...just in case...but for me..only 35/36 weeks..so i dun bother.....just felt a little more painful than usual ..but pain went away in 10 seconds...so ok lor...
but i think if u go those saloon type...they will be more careful lor...their reputation at stake mah....

..

nipple cream
i bought the medala one from guardian...cuz can be used both for nipple and on bb for sensitive skin..so i think if next time bb got sensitive skin, can also use on her..hee...2 in 1...

shint
wow...ur gynae really chop chop one ...hmm..the last few times i went..my gynae gave some mini tutorial on labour symptoms, and breastfeeding + problems and obstacles..i thought he quite thoughtful...though not a very very long advice session lar...

Nini
dun worry, u should vent out all ur frustrations...

i also do that mah...jsut let it all out and dun bottle it inside urself...no good for u and bb...everytime i feel upset, i also vent it out here....and all the mummies here will listen and support ...cry if u want to..it makes u feel better...hee..cuz i also do that...

 

[hisstory]

hello all

Was quite busy yest & had no time to come in.. Looks like there's a fair bit to catch up on *winks*

YLN

Can I get your fren's contact? I was hoping if it's nearer my place, it wld be more conveninent to go for a BW appt

snow

Thanks for the updates on our loot!

Good planning for our next spree.. heehee! But most of you will pop before I do, so maybe while I've just popped, many of the mummies wld have been on confinement liao.. Nvm, for online shopping, I shall be 'diligent'!

Anyway even i'm popping later, i shall just be a tahan the excitement of the arrival of the loot & delay the picking up tt round of our loot

Just hope it doesn't cause too much trouble/ occupy too much space at ur place

M2B

heheh, i think when it comes to buying gerger things, we can never put a stop to it! And it doesn't look gd tt I'm going on NPL for awhile.. hahahah

twin stars

I went for gynae's appt yest & she ran a blood test on me.. *sigh* I'm slightly anemic but she says not a big cause for concern. I just hope it's because I wasn't feeling very well, so it caused the reading to dip below the range

NiNi

*hugs* Hope u had a gd rest from all the walking & tt ur HB will be a little more sensitive, esp at this last stage!! U felt better after u let it out? Did HB know?
