Hi mummies,
Wanna share with all that I given birth to my baby girl on Sunday night, 13 July at 1245 midnight. She’s at week 36 at the time of birth, weighing at 2.2kg.
• Last Friday, feel that her movements have reduced as compared to Thursday, was so worried thus decided to pay my gynae a visit.
• Was sent for detailed scan and found that she had 1 umbilical cord round her neck and was in breech position.
• Gynae and me have made a decision to deliver her early before the estimated due date.
• I was monitored via the CTG machine for whole of Friday night and Saturday. Gynae says if she dun turn head down then have to go for C-Section.
• Gynae do final check at 2pm to check baby’s position once again before deciding. Amazingly, my little one turned head down and I can have a normal delivery.
• Gynae induced on Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
• Felt intense pain at 7pm, requested for epidural
• 1245, after 3 pushes, my little one is out.
My little one is fine, will be able to go home tomorrow.. Hurray..

Congratulations!!!! All of you must be so excited and busy now. Glad everyone is fine. ^^ Hope mine will be just as easy.
Now I'm worried, must really monitor baby's movement but it's so difficult sometime when I'm caught up in my work.
M2B- please take care. Don't worry too much, I'm sure everything will be fine.
re catering: I've had catering from Jessie for the past one month and I must say I'm not impressed with them at all. Their meals are frequently late as they seemed to have a high turnover of drivers. There were a few times when the meal was more than an hour late and of course, by the time the food arrived, we were starving. Food was also only so-so.
Btw, Mothercare still having sale on some items. May want to take a look.
And there seems to be some baby fair at United Square this coming weekend.

roiv,
Congratulations!
You had a v smooth delivery. Hope mine can be as smooth too. Do post your baby's photos ya?
earnestmum,
when's your due date? Better not exert yourself too much during the walk. Take a rest if you can, or better still, don't go for the walk. Cos I think we tend to tire more easily. Just my 2 cents worth. Nowadays, I walk 5-10mins, then start to slow down liao.

I know what you mean. Kept thinking if baby was moving less, especially now that we're so near our EDD. The other day, was stressed out with work..or rather with people and forgot to monitor her movement.
Panic in the evening as I couldn't remember if she had moved during the day.
Sometimes can feel her whole weight at the bottom of my stomach. Sleeping has become major problem coz difficult to lie down/ get up/ turn. Sigh....

Reading all the mommies popping ... so exciting.
Though it's 2nd time for me but the last time mine was induced at week 39. Before that I have not much problem .... so I was really not too excited.
This time, I read the forum and also feels like i am going to deliver soon but then my actual EDD is like end of Aug ... hahha. Psychological?
Hey Cocomo,
Thanks .... we might see each other in the hospital if your baby's gonna stay till your planned delivery date
Ask him guai guai ok?

I had also been having back aches for a long time liao. Been using the tiger balm to ease the pain. QUite shiok leh.
Getting up, I'd turn to the side and get up sideways but the turning from one side to the other is terrible.
I was tracking my previous pregnancy and realised that I delivered when my tummy was 40 inches and now it's already 42 inches .... for a small frame person like me, it's really huge - alot of pple asking if I am expecting twins ... haha. I said, alot of water inside la.

krex,
My EDD is 26 Aug, I am planning to deliver on week 37+. Now i quite assured that it's ok la ... so many oso delivered liao. Anyway, when I visit Dr W again i wanna ask him what risk and complication does he mean? At the moment, I have no problem with my pregnancy except the fungus infection.
But of course if near to the planned date, baby is still too small, then may not go ahead. So far, baby is already 2.3kg@wk 34.

Hospital fees :

Type of operation : Natural, C-sect, GA ..
(For epi, baby package, PD ... all these are additional costs)
I think it's something like tat.

bacon&egg,
i have done with all the washing, packing baby stuffs into drawers. baby cot set up (but haven't lay the bedsheet and placing pillow in it, will do when baby come back) except for ikea cupboard frame for drawers (hubby say do when baby come back home cos got to do knocking). steriliser and milk bottles are still in the box, thinking since need to sterilise them before use, will only open them when we come back from hospital loh. so no need to open up and was now.
hospital bag pack and is sitting in hubby's car now. admission letter and appointment book is with me in my bag. will put baby car seat in car next week to standby.
so i guess, i'm all ready for the action. hehehe....

How does it feel when the baby is engaged?
I found the below website with good information on it. I am having real bad pain in my pelvic area, inner thighs and back.
Hope it helps others too.

Haha! You're quite kiasu, huh!
Finally bought my car seat + pushchair set from mothercare yesterday! only cost $350!!! comes with matching cover and backpack too, think it's quite a steal!
Btw, I've stopped pricking my fingers. My prick finger thingy's all used up and cant be bothered to buy another box of 100. Luckily, my gynae's ok with it!
Hello Vone,
My baby's 2.7kg at 35 wks. btw, just realised that we both have the same edd.
Cheeers!

celyn,
you sure are well-prepared. So far, I only packed my hospital bag. Have not gotten my admission letter yet. BB's clothes are all washed. Cot is there too except have not put in the bedding set and cot mobile as I don't want the dust to settle on them.
