Wow..
17 new babies! Well, 18 since girl80 had double blessings.. Congrats to all!
Okie..my update..
Went for my 38wk scan and gynae check.
I've lost some weight (around 0.5kg) and baby estimated weight is 3.1kg, water level ok (think it was around 9+), partially engaged but the best bit..... i'm already dilated 4cm! So, based on my frame/pelvic size, gynae wants the baby out asap before he has a chance to grow any bigger. Will be going in tomorrow morning for inducing. Hopefully, it will be a short, painless (haha!!) labour.. Will keep you updated
Iemik0,
You still at KKH? Which room?? Might be able to visit....

Oh, only bummer now is that i've been having cough and congested nose for almost a week now. Lymph nodes are also starting to swell and i'm the kind of person who, once down with a bug, will be stuck with it for a long while..sien..
But wrt to BF, have talked it through with husband and we've decided that we'll go one week at a time. Am so glad that i can go into the delivery suite kinda worry-free about what's going to happen next.

loveangel,
preston is so cute! The way he stick his tongue out keke.
fabbie,
I hope he will look more manly keke. Alamak bleed must be very painful...Mine crack so I applied the nipple cream. It seems the breastmilk method did not work on me lor.
For breastmilk,
Try eating lots of fish and hot drink. I ate lots of threadfin so when I pump each time for 15 mins I will get 100ml lidat..and it increases each day if you let the baby suckle on...Just that mine suckle abit then go and sleep. End up I pump the rest out lor.. coz I almost got engorged and got headache n fever.

No lei.. no PM..
Doc told me earlier better but leave it to us since i've no pain complains. Said she recommend around 6-8am to guarantee a bed at the delivery suite. Was also told that regardless of time i checked in, i will be charged for one day.. Meaning if i go in and start inducing at 7am or go in at 7pm, still charged for one whole day tomorrow and not by the hour. (for ward not delivery suite).
She'll be rupturing my waterbag and administering oxytoxin and antibiotics (for GBS) thru drip.

Hi All,
Sorry to intride and disturb. I am an Oct 08 mummy and I have a Medela PIS to sell.
My Medela PIS is the Medela PIS Metro Bag 2008. Its sold at $799 in Spore. Its inclusive of the following :-
- Messanger Bag with adjustable strap
- Removable motor unit in its own case
- Battery Pack (Batteries not included)
- Removable cooler bag
- 4 collection containers and lids
- 2 SoftFit Breastshields
- 2 valves
- 4 membranes
- Removable work surface
- Mesh storage bags
As the PIS was bought from US, the adapter is not compatible for use in Spore. I had to purchase the adapter in Spore at $75. Willing to sell them at $575. Used it only once. In brand new condition.
The price is really the best I can quote. If not, please suggest a price and we can discuss further.

juz got back from gynae's visit! Sigh.. first the urine test failed cos super high content of protein in my urine. Then come blood pressure..first result 155 which was super high..then 2nd reading is like 130+..nurse gave up, ask me to do CTG first so that i can relax.. got some minor contraction but on and off.. usually when contraction is thr, i felt breathless..after CTG, did another round of blood pressure, still same reading as previous..
Saw gynae, she say my swelling is really bad..dunno what she did, but i tink she either did a VE for me or Strep B test..haha, i not sure but not pain lar..
She suspect that i hv pre-eclampsia cos my ballooned weight, my swelling, my high blood, protein in urine. Was sent to do blood test immediately and i hv to collect ALL my urine, not a drop less for the next 24 hrs. She say if the result is not good, i hv to be induced by next Tuesday. Imagine, nxt tuesday leh..is like few days away and I m not even ready to pop yet!
But, saddest part is that, bb is down but not engaged yet, so she say quite difficult to hv natural birth so may need c-sect! Which I do not want..cos then i will hv 2 scars at my abdomen..sian sian sian.. next visit is next Wed and result shuld be out..if really bad, then Thursday is the day (latest)..arrggh...i really hope bb will be engaged by then!!

hi all ... Gill is getting induced now .. they put in the drip and just burst her waterbag ... contractions still irregular and still 4 cm dilated ...
emeraldbride,
oh dear ... well, pre eclampsia is pretty serious so better for u and baby if baby is out .. nevermind if via c-sect ...
try to rest more till Tuesday and don't get excited ... keep your bp low.
