Hi mummies,
Went for my checkup yest...
36w4d: baby weigh 2.6kg.
Baby's head has engaged and Gynae said won't give birth near EDD, BUT will give birth soon lei..She said might be deepavali?? She said probably she will only see me one more visit and that's all.. Aiyoh, that means i can deliver anytime when symptoms come. Sekali i may be the next few mummies to pop..

Babyzel,
Did u breastfeed?
Did u breastfeed?
babyzel, congrats. Rachelle is so adorable. Rest well and enjoy motherhood!
Yen, I also ordered le but via bp. I checked baby kingdom, the same 7pc bedding set, they are selling at $85 so bp is much cheaper. I bought the anti-dustmite one.
Vincyl, sorry i'm not able to advise you on that. The person i talk to is a nurse but i'm not too sure about your agent. Maybe you would like to call the cord bank to check or check with your gynae? Maybe when it comes to donating, they are very stringent in the quality of the cord blood.
Any info, let me know too. Thanks.

congrats babyzel, such a beautiful baby...lovely eyes and nose. Looks so alert.
Was it painful process? Epidural and all..? I am also going for epidural, did you buy a float to rest your bottom on? I understand there's a stitching on our bottom so not sure if we need a float to sit on...?

Dreamyjo,
Think u & misaryeo shd be ahead of me bah
cc,
Hmm, actually if you are really keen on total breastfeeding, then u shd not buy formula to standby.. cause sometimes u will be tempted to give formula when ur supply is low or when it hasnt build up. Infact, if u latch on baby after delivery and constantly do so, chances are very high that your milk will come in.
Happy, Babyzel,
Ya lor, she always make the patient calm and no worries.. She is "zai" in everything. I remember what she asked me during sticthing, she said, "so how, what pain relief u want to use for your next delivery", cause i didnt take epidural at all and she see me in real pain and suffer.. wakaka..

joyce,
This is wat i like abt Dr.Chan."zai"!
wakaka
cc,
Epi is not painful.Just like ant's bite but u will feel something flowing down your spinal.
Dun tink abt it.Like wat babyzel said, Enjoy the process!
I agreed with joyce.If u get the formula milk nw,u sure tempted to give.
But u can decide on a brand 1st,when realli in need,then asked your hb to get it.There is no gd or bad brand.All FM is almost similar.You just got to try and see if your baby suit drinking.

Who's turn to pop next???
Morning mummies.. by right I have chosen a date for c-sect already but then my MIL realized the 'shifu' wrote my birthdate wrongly so need to 'recount' again, don't know need to change ma? Tml be my checkup need to cfm c-sect date with gynae.
Anyone with swollen feet? Nowadays everyone who sees me said my feet swollen will go into early labour, scared bb can't wait till the chosen date then our $$ wasted. keke. I don't encounter swollen feet during my first preg though.. hopefully bb guai guai stay inside longer.

shop4stuffs, sorry for lat reply.
Puppp
Mine lasted for almost 2 weeks, from the initial outbreak till now, which is more or less under control. Took the piriton, it helps alot and really keep the itch under control. Dont worry, this medication is safe for consumption by pregnant woman, thus pls take it to minimise the itch. Same as yours, mine was particularly bad on my legs cause of the water retention and lots of pressure on the legs, thus need to be on bed rest as much as possible, and minimise movement. The worst period is the first 3-4 days, when the rashes just spread like wild fire!! Use non-soap base shower gel, like Cetaphil or Eucerin helps. Doc ask me to apply lots of moisturizer, but I cant due to psychological issue, I will feel very itchy 5-10 mins after application of moisturizer, thus doc told me to stop and apply calamine lotion instead. I find applying the prickly heat powder immediately after bath helps also. Thank God, for mine, its under control now....but left alot of markings on my limbs and body lor...so sad. Take care.
Btw, I dont really trust those flax seed oil and dandelion, though I read it on the internet. I rather eat what is prescribed by the doc, then to self-medicate.
I hope you are feeling better now, if not, pls go and see doc to be referred to the National skin ctr. It really helps!

morning mummies! The other day someone said she had made an appointment for bwax. May i know where you going? I really wanted to wax before i pop. cannot tahan anymore but i do not want to go back to my normal therapist cos i need to go up some flight of stairs and i think its too tough for me to climb up and down. Thanks in advance. If my gynae give me the green light today, i will try to book appointment for the next few days.
Babyzel, thanks for sharing your birth story. Make me more excited when it comes my turn.
Enne, my legs are swollen too. I think its due to water retention. As long as your bp is in the normal range, should be alright bah.

Babyzel,
Rachelle is so cute..Congrats.
dreamyjo,
I went to John Little to see the design so bought on the spot wif 20% discount + 5% rebate. The bp has got free delivery. Is ok cos I gan cheong, I scare I deliver earlier so better buy 1st. Heard those aunties saying if swollen 3rd time means going to deliver soon. Don't know what they mean. Hehe..
Only the orange colour is anti dust mite.
Enne
I had swollen feet too. Started quite early around 6mths. My feet looks like elephant feet now. Same as Carol, my gynae ask me to monitor bp, as long as bp is fine. I should be ok.

Good morning mummies!
Congrats to all mummies who have popped recently!
Wow...so exciting..
Last week has been a busy week for me..so much things to clear before I can go on leave next week.
Went for a check-up last Friday and gynae told me my bb is already in an engaged position. But I'm not dilated yet. Gynae says most probably I'll pop by next week. so gan cheong now...hehe..
Recently, I've been drinking lotsa water but still feel very thirsty all the time. any mummies have the same problem as me? really worried whether is there anything wrong with me?
