Hi moms,
After reading Gingagal n others' sharing, tink got some psychological fear developing within me for premies...

I guess there's no well-founded theories on whether bb boys or gals hav a tendency to b premies...so far my 2 bros n my hb came either due week or even later?! Well, for me, i rushed out 10 days earlier?! Still, these happened yonks ages ago...

So itz any1's guess if e bb comes out early than expected...

I try to cut down on walking or stressing myself too much...my workplace has been qite understanding towards me...giving me less duties as i anitime can 'report for delivery' haha...

Jus an update, yestday nite, i had e experience of having a regular beat in my womb for 10-15 min. Not e usual churning or kicking...i so scared itz BHcontractions! But not painful @ all lor...i find it weird as never b4 i had this sensation...now in my 30+ weeks; keep reminding my hb to pray for our bb as these few weeks can hav qite unexpected happenings. Ani1 has this experience b4?

For us doing shopping for bbs or even ourselves, DO ask someone / someones to carry e barang barang 4 u...no pt being a PERFECT mom n quicken e bb 2 come out earlier than expected...Go easy on urself k?

last but not least, pray hard tat those ard us will b more understanding n give us chance lar...i can feel bb's wt pressing on my pelvic area too...wait till its 35 wks n beyond....

Cheers!

[pinksorbet]

queenie - that avent bottom balm can be applied each time we change diapers for bb rite? not just when the bb has rashes rite?

[gingal]

Princess,

You really stubborn wor... But not as stubborn as me.. I waited 2 days after experiencing the cramps before I went to see my gynae, and by the time was already dilated 2cm...

U really shldn't go out liao leh.. should be staying at home and lying down...

To All Mummies,

Thanks for the all the well-wishes...

My girl is doing very well now, and has been transferred to Special Care Nursery ytd. Nurses at NICU have explained to us that she is breathing very comfortably on her own now, and her feeds has been increased, thus it is safe for her to step-down NICU and go to SCN. I'm so glad that since I have brought her my Expressed Breasts Milk, she is doing better...So Mummies, pls do consider BF-ing, and don't give up...It is very tiring but it is definitely worth it!!!

 

[elita]

st:: mine is forehead thermometer, it's by safety first.

pinksorbet:: YOu will pass the test!

miss83
