juz went for my 38th week check up just now..
baby's head is not engage yet..
den doc explained to me that baby's head will only engage if i've had painful contractions..
is it true?
have also asked her opinion on induction..
she don't encourage it..
saying that if the cervix is not yet ready and we go for induction, sometimes it might lead to c-sec..
so decided to let it happen naturally..

Sri, yah, i tried the jamu pill before. but not much effect for me, and it dun make me go poo also leh. after that i get pills from normal GP, did the trick but if eat the GP pills cannot try for baby. the GP pills dun make me poo also but it make my weight go down. that was for my ROM. for wedding i went to jean yip and dieting.

Alabone: you will have smooth delivery, pray for u and baby Cadence!
Alabone, take care~! all will be well! will pray for you n baby cadence~~~
blackberryB, the jean yip cost $2220 for my package. but dun ask me wat is included the package, its very confusing one. i just know have wrap, steam and electric shocks! haha! but its only effective together with dieting or taking v special care on your diet. at least i watch my diet and go there, the weight drop can be seen going down quite steadily.

Share photos of Rachael and her birth story!
Jas, sunrays, and mommies with had their epi-C section (i.e. on LA):
- How painful was the epidural injection?
- How awake/groggy were u throughout the surgery?
- If you are numb from waist down, does it mean that you are 'paralysed' as well...? As in you cannot wriggle your toes and move around?</font>

Baby Cadence will be fine, dun worry!! will keep you in prayers..
Bigtoes
The epi injection is not painful, don't worry!! To me, the post recovery is the killer but then again, u had fibriod surgery before right? Then maybe u can handle the post recovery pain better than me...til today i am still in pain..I am totally hopeless,hehe! u can still wriggle your toes, but you wun feel a thing... U'll be totally awake, baby will be placed on yr chest(briefly)..I was totally overwhelmed when they did that, crying like mad,haha!! U can feel slight tugging and pulling when they try to take the baby out, but it doesn't hurt at all too. So exciting, 3 more days to Kieran's arrival!!!
Meie, Shazz
So exciting!! "CED" gonna meet each other soon!!!</font>

dilation: i didn't feel any different leh. dun feel that baby will drop out soon cos the dilation is so minimal that I can't feel a thing!
my pelvic bone has been hurting for longest time, so used to walking with legs wide and not being able to cross legs for longest time. the pain is really bad when I get up from bed and from chair.
When my baby's head was engaged, it didn't feel any different. I did'nt think that he's already engaged when I went to gynae on mon, cos my tummy is still very high, and I still get breathless! His butt is also hitting against my rib cage when I sleep on my right side.
Hope it helps those who wants to know if there's any difference when baby is engaged, and mummy's cervix dilated.
sunrays: yes, we can take pictures of CED when we meet up! hehe

Hi all, congrats to those who have already popped..
Alabone.. how did it go??
I went for my check up yesterday at 37 wks 5 days, BB weighs around 2.7kg.
Meie, when u go and see KT Tan, did u request for VE and CTG? Up to now, I have not done a single one, maybe coz I told her that I don't have any contractions. But I have to do it next week. How long does it take? I was asked to go half an hour earlier for my next appointment?
I've also had a craving for chocolate these past few weeks, can even have a chocolate sundae for breakfast.. I've piled on quite a lot of weight but I've already told myself that I must get rid of it after I deliver..

Taslyn, my hubby would be saying the same thing as ur hubby!!
Shazz, yup! i was wondering how it feels like for baby to be engaged. tml i'm going for checkup. gonna ask the gynae if baby's engaged or not.
cloud, welcome to the 'chocolate craving' club! my most common craving's chocolate and cant think straight when the feeling comes. all other cravings never get so bad as this!

Ava: it's not love triangle! hehe, we realised that our babies initials forms CED, if according to their birth order! haha
By the way, I just passed out my mucous plug with brownish discharge, think it's a show! Think first contraction may be within 24 to 72 hours! now, I'm starting to get excited! haha ... before that I was still so calm.

Glad to see you here.. Hee.. yup. very exciting.

I also did not experience any contractions. I've done 2 CTGs so far.. all optional. Dr Tan asked me if I wanted to do as I was concerned over the umbilical cord seen around bb's neck during the 3D scan so you can consider that I requested for it. As for VE, when I went for my checkup yesterday, she told me she's going to do so & I did not request for it.. hehe.. she told me she's going to do the VE to check if I have dilated. CTG takes approx 30 to 45 minutes.. & yes you have to go earlier around 30 minutes before your appointment for the CTG.
Ava
Haha.. hope not man.. later I headache.

Mucous Plug - it's clear, globbly, gelatin like, can be clear or tinged with pink, reddish or brownish discharge. Some women lose it bit by bit, others in one chunk, which is in my case.

shazz, it's getting exciting! hope you'll have an easy and smooth labour!
had my 36wks check up today and was told again that bb's on the small side. she was 2.2kg at 34wks and at 36wks, only 2.290kg. am a little worried though scans show that blood flow to placenta and liquor level etc are normal. really hope that all will be well in the end.

36 weeks 1 day - 2.6kg
37 weeks 6 days - 3.0kg

Epi vs spinal c-sec: What's the difference? Cos I saw from another forum other mummies are doing spinal one.. Thought its the same?
Shazz: You have show alr?? Might be soon! So excited for you! Kekek!!
Love triangle? Haha.. Is it going to be E or D?
Today had a scare cos bb didn't really move in the day so sms doc. And he asked me to go TMC labor ward straight away. After strapped on the CTG & doppler machine, naughty bb started moving! Aiyo... So end of the day was ok & I could hear bb's heartbeat! CTG only detected one small contractions, will see gynae tmr again.</font>
