dumbo, everafter: me three. i absorb everything i eat. i more champion leh, i put on >24kg leh. bb now 2.666kg at week 35. Consider big?
I will also induce cos i can't stand the weight any longer. dont eat will be hungry, eat become fat. dont know how. Gynae also nag that if bb too big harder for natural birth.
For me, i squat quite often cos i carry my dogs. maybe that's why bb head engaged so soon?
i heard sex can induce birth too. Those who interested can try it out. I dont know whether i can with my pelvic pain. Maybe i'll try in week 38 ^_~

Karen, pelvic pain is the worst for me.
Dumbo : Wish you all the luck! *wink* try harder ya.
Jaundice: Sunbathe - can i just ask, when sunbathing, you mean take bb outside to sunbathe under the sun? Morning sun? do you need to undo bb shirt to expose the body skin to the sunlight too? Need to cover his eyes to block away the sunlight, right? Use a stroller to sunbathe? Sorry so much questions.

<font color="#7E354D"> dreamyjo,
normally we sunbathe our bb in the mornin. yes u need to undo their shirt to let them totally expose to the sunlight n is a MUZ to cover their eyes wif handkerchief or a cloth. depend on u whether u wan to use a pram or a stroller or carry by hands.

Hi Ladies
Am back! Yes I've delivered on 29 Sep 08 at 1631 hrs to my beautiful lil gal Victoria.
My birth story below:
29 Sep
10.10am-Arrive at Mt E for my scheduled doc check-up. Felt warm gush on my way up to clinic in the lift. Rushed to wc and saw blood. Freaked out and walked to clinic and told nurse I needed to see doc immed and lie down. Laid down and doc came. CTG - no contractions...put on drip and given steroids to boost bb lungs. Doc say must c-sect the same day to prevent me from haemorrage (I hv low lying placenta bleeding).
4.00pm- Wheeled in OT for Csect via epi. Epi needle felt like a prick.
4.10pm - Doc came in and assured me everything will be ok. Set up everything for ops.
4.20pm - Operation starts and I smell rubber burning. Some heaving and pushing.
4.31pm - Victoria is born! She lets out a gentle whimper, cleaned and checked, and passed to me to carry and daddy to carry.
4.35pm - Bb is whisked to warming unit in NICU becos of her small frame. (She was larger than the original 1.6kg scan before Ops).
Doc starts to clean me up; lots of fluid sounds, sucking etc.
I start freaking out, partly becos of sounds and becos I was shivering throughout due to epi side effect.
7.00pm - Out of OT. I took a while becos I found out later that I lost quite a bit of blood so doc had to stem the bleeding.
7.10pm - Sees HB. So thankful that am out and bb is safe and sound. In fact Victoria scored a full 10 / 10 for her APGAR score!!! She just needs to fatten up.
Then the past few days went past in a whirl. Lots of visitors, pumping and pumping. Colustrum flowed v freely on day1 onwards, and by day3, I managed to pump a full bottle of milk per pump. Lactation lady, nurse all super shocked. Bb also started to suckle by day2 - amazing; docs did say that small bb may hv difficulty suckling.
ANyways, I discharged on Thurs, and been like a cow pumping every 3 hrs, and bringin milk to Victoria. I latch on when am there with her. Breasts became super engorged overnight.
Am very happy but VV tired. Whoever said pregnancy is difficult, I can assure you that MOTHERHOOD IS HARDWORK. In just a few days, I realised why some give up breastfeeding, or even go into post natal blues.. becos it is so darn tiring. So much sacrifices and hardwork. But seeing her makes everything disappear...

Thanks ladies! M really happy, but breasts keep filling up leh. Getting engorged is no fun. V hard and nd to keep massaging and using warm towel to quell it.
Ya Victoria is still in NICU to grow fat. She doesnt need tubes to breathe since birth so that is great!
Dimpletots / whitepaper - I cant leh using your methods. M using a MAC.
