080808 baby,
Targeting either 080808 or 200808 baby too. 1st EDD was 24 Aug but now is 13 Aug. So either I have an earlier baby or overdue baby if based on 13 Aug. Not that I mind a full-term overdue baby cos' my boy was overdue too. Have to be induced due to GD for my previous preg. I was gamed to carry till 41-42 weeks if placenta still functionable.

ya..i agree with little twin star that now got maid like even more stressed..esp when u get a maid like mine...so daring..i ren for a few more days cuz the agent who was supposed to pop by havent come yet...i will wait till she come...and i will complain all to the agent...she can speak myanmar to the maid and scold the maid for me...
i rem once i told the maid to bring a book to my ILs place to read when there is no work..and she only bring for one day...after that, she subsequently just happily sit down and watch TV again...from 5plus all the way until we go and pick her..! quite ridiculous rite??...
little twin star is rite..there is so much monitoring to do with the maid, it can get quite tiring..for my case, the only monitoring i do is at my ILs place..cuz my maid dun dare to 'eat snake' at my place cuz i will show her the face...she wont dare to watch TV at my place at all....but thats the headache part..when ur ILs say one thing..and u say another thing...somemore cannot really argue with ILS...damn sian one..
yesterday went for checkup..did a blood test and a swap test...the swap test was to test for vaginal infection...bb is at 2.2kg , 33 weeks...my gynae actually recommended that i be open about the different kind of pain killers during labour....i wanted to opt for epidural cuz i cannot take pain..but he was telling me if pain is still bearable...just take the gas...i guess he is pro-natural (w/o epidural) ba...plus he told me to start packing my hospital bag liao..he say no need to bring anything for bb..except one set of going home clothes...everything else the hopsital will give..he say i dun even need to bring maternity pads...cuz hospital will give also..but i dunno what kind of pad they will give...

Did you get yr maid recently? Cos mine also came a month ago and in the day she is at my mil house with my boy. Same lor..initially my mil still ask her to watch tv and read newspaper when she got nothing to do. Then I told my mil have to let her do some houseowork else she will become pampered and lazy.. So now its much better, like in the day when my boy takes his nap.. she will help to clean the house like sweeping, mopping,cleaning and also learn cooking from my mil. So now the situation is much better : )

Valnsw,
Yalor, trying to plan my annual leave as I still have balance leave from last year to clear. Feel like sleeping now man.
Twin Stars,
I guess I will be using the computer a lot during confinement too coz nothing much to do when bb is sleeping lor…last my #1, she can sleep for 4-5hours straight in the day w/o milk…
I can’t say I’m well-prepared for another addition but I sure cannot tahan the weight of the big tummy plus I always feel it is in the way when I try to pick up something etc…can’t wait to get my normal tummy back.
You seem really stressed with a maid in your house. Try to relax ok?
My best fren gg Bangkok in Jul so I’m thinking to ask her to get a Naraya tote bag for me to put bb’s barang barang so can hang at the stroller next time…
Happycat,

medusa,
me also have such discharge throughout my preg. In fact, even before my preg. No itch and no pain. I just read somewhere that during the later part of the preg, there will be more discharge.
YLN,
Is it a must to blood test and swap test?
RE: Cordblood
ANy mummies having the first born incentive or subsequent born incentive from TMC? The offer is rather attractive. If you have a fren who is already cordblood member, can get additional $50 off, which means all in all $500 discount over the contracted price.

wah, yr maid so gd life, pay her to watch TV! mine never watch. we never allow.
ya, now i more "gut lad" must wake up early to monitor than by 2pm, i really knock off liao when my mom or mil comes over.
so far i no need to scold this maid. cos she finds things to do w/o me telling. she never eat snake, but today she started humming............thing fhili's like to sing, very softly n only occasionally. i let her be as long as it;s not often n loud n distracting. to me, it shows she is trying to enjoy her work.
my agent told me to keep her occupied too so she won;t get homesick. you must keep her busy so she can get used to the workload once the baby arrives. my friend;s maid couldnlt take the workload difference after baby and resigned.
get yr maid to vacuum, mop the flr everyday if nothing to do, clean also mop. everyday wipe table tops etc.
today i taught my maid to wash toilet. very thourough. she even take the ladder to wash the pipes.
must tell yr mil cannot feel bad one.
BUT, i did hear that myanmar maids tend to be lazy n no initiative. if u have a chance, can get ur agent to change or do something.
also agent told me not to let her call home till she finish her probation lei~!
my poor dog didn;t eat since she came though, cos my dog;s not used to strangers in the hse i think
wah, yr dr ask u to pack bag liao! mine didn;t. but he opted for epidural for me w/o asking, haha
medusa,
ya lor, t first i keep washing n washing. then realized it's urine leakage
mayb cos my bb keeps kicking my bladder very often, it can get quite painful lei
i forgot how to do kegal exercise lei
M2B,
ya lor, i can;t imagine my life w/o my laptop.
i use my laptop so much till the first one spoilt, now m using hubby's spare one, he wanted to buy me a new one cos he wants to use the spare one at home liao
my mil is shifting over to my place temporarily to help me monitor my maid as i get heavier.
i also bot alot of things from naraya the last time i went. can get a whole matching collection: like tissue holder, pouches to match with yr diaper bag

Little twin star..
ya lor..my maid damn good life..but if i were to tell this to my hubby n ILs..they will say 'must give them time off to relax!' my hubby and ILs say that as long as the maid finish work....letting her watch TV is ok..sigh...see..so contradictory...never mind lor... now let her watch lor..next time she dun wanna work...it will be bcause of them pampering the maid..they will have to answer for it lor...

YLN,
think u must "train" yr hubby and mil lo. i trained my mom yesterday, told her don;t keep doing, let the maid have a chance to hands on. cos my mom demo and do everything.......to me, that's not demo anymore lei.
my fhili chinese friend also say cannot let them watch tv cos they will be hooked. i mean, treat yr maid well but not too well from the start as they need to earn yr trust first. now is too early to be so laxed. but then again, every hse have diff rules. find what u guys want and agree together lor. like i already talked to my mom n mil n tell them not to interfere with me, so they know

btw,
i'm very polite with my maid, i say thank you to her whenever she gets me things, greet her gd morning as i also taught her to do the same. when she cleans the windows n the pipes, i will tell her to be careful, even tell her to be careful as the floor is slippery. when i hear that she dropped something in the toilet while washing, i never spring and ask her what she broke. i just let her be but inspect later n found nothing wrong.
when she makes a mistake, i laugh at her for almost throwing away the food i wanna ta bao. to me it's miscom cos i expected her english not to be that fantastic. so in a way i am firm on what i want her to do but i give her space to learn n make mistakes. i never snap at her. think they appreciate such things too cos u give her respect. she will also respect you.
so in a way, to me, i have to be courteous n respectful but i treat her as a helper paid for a professional job. so i expect some form of professionalism la

Yeah maybe just pep talk her to tell her that once bb comes she is expected to deliver more and not be so relaxed. For me of cos my maid can have her "relax" time but only when she is done with her chores. Like before she sleeps, she will listen to some music with the radio i gave her, read some magazines or write letters to her family. I dun encourage tv becos my boy is very active so i dun want her to be distracted and not watch him when she is takin care of him. I agree with twin stars.... we can be strict when the need arises but we also must be "human" to her also. As long as we are not ill-treating them i think its fine.
Twinstars
I think kegal is like tightening yr pelvic muscles, like as in you are holding yr urine lidat... then release and tighten and repeat.. hee

hi all,

YLN,
but you told you IL not to let her watch tv right ? you need to really get your ILs not to spoil the maid lo. Hubby was saying to get the maid a hp and give her $5 credit each mth to call back... I say now too early .. Let's monitor her performance 1st. Don't spoil her.
little twin star,
my maid also hums not stop .. from morning till night..hahha. it's not loud la but i can still hear. Sometimes i really feel abit irritated but i let her be. Cos silence sometimes really scary. And i think it's to keep their mind occupied too else i think they scared. hubby call her the singing maid

YLN,
Ya sometimes I also got frighten cos like some woman voice humming in the background.. hahaha but I think i'll just let her carry on. I think can understand if ask her keep quiet for entire day also very poor thing. And also none of us so much time to keep talking to her all the time..
cos my hse no land line so hubby say not safe also to not have a phone in the hse in case any emergency she need to reach us or we reach her. So the hp will only be used in the hse and we control via prepaid card. I think also makes sense loh.

I also did my StepB test but dono for what gynae just said all ok. So I didnt ask further.
Hi EstherJ
Welcome.
Ya sometimes I also got frighten cos like some woman voice humming in the background.. hahaha but I think i'll just let her carry on. I think can understand if ask her keep quiet for entire day also very poor thing. And also none of us so much time to keep talking to her all the time..

cindy,
well, not functioning 100%. Less efficient cos' old liao. Nutrients may not pass 100% to baby. Not only that amino fluid may be low too. Since for this round I dun have GD, my gynae is ok with me carrying till 41 week if still no signs of labour. So long placenta still providing enough nutrient to baby (baby still growing well) and amino fluid at desired level.
I also have discharge but not itchy. So not too concern cos' I experienced for my prev pregnancy too. No infection nor yeast. Try to keep dry and think eating yogurt helps too so that environment not conducive for yeast infection.
twin stars,
ya lor. Just ask her to endure a bit longer lah. But u have to take care of yourself first cos' u r her source of nutrient.

celynee,
it's like a pep smear. some gynaes do it early, some later. it's to check for vaginal infection. if we have it, need to get treated before we give birth as baby need to pass thru our vaginal for natural labour and might be infected if we are. but if c sect then no need to worry

Hee! Hee! Looks like 080808 is a hot date huh? If everybody aim for this date, the maternity wards in the hospitals are going to be really really busy. Next time all babies from this thread can have one big birthday celebration.
Well if baby comes on my EDD it will be 080808 but likely hood is that it won't. Don't mind when he/she comes as long as its after 24 Jul!
Re: Kegels (or Pelvic Floor Exercises as they are sometimes called).
Went for antenatal class on Saturday and the MW was saying it was best to start exercising those muscles now because you're less likely to tear them during labour if they were well conditioned.
Antenatal class was interesting as the MWs went through the stages of labour and all the options of pain relief plus their side effects. I think their message was that if you can take the pain do without the drugs. They gave us some helpful tips on how to make labour less stressful. We were recommeded to get a Birthing Ball (or exercise ball) to sit on while at home but also to use it to practise getting into the kneeling position with the ball for support. According to the MW that was the best position for labour as gravity will help the baby thru' the birth canal. Apparently lying on the bed is the worst position as it works against gravity and makes the passage harder for the baby! Didn't know that as TV shows always show women lying on the bed during labour.
Well after spending 2 hours listening to the MWs, I have decided I will try the drug free option. Hubby has ordered a 'Birthing Ball' off the internet and I have been practising Kegels every now and then and sitting cross-legged as much as possible. According to the MWs all these will help quicken the process and make it less stressful.

hey girls! long time no pop by.
anyone experiencing contractions? i've been getting some, just tummy harden for a minute or so. but not painful. i'm wondering if this is just BH or some other sign.
the problem is i ate some pineapples last weekend (yes, i know is taboo) and have been feeling weird since. never happened when i ate pineapples before. i'm getting worried as i dun want to be early.
