Re BB sleeping on own bed:
I plan to let BB sleep on own cot, cos our bed not big enough...already now my hubby complain say I squeeze him till the edge and he got no space liao, haha.
What abt after confinement, do u gals intend to let BB sleep on cot in another room (BB room) or sleep on cot in same room as you? Initially tot BB cot need to be in our room cos afraid can't hear BB cry at nite, but my cousin says as long as door not closed, we can hear one.

Oh yah before I forget. Previously I enquired from a few mommies about their 2nd hand Glenn Doman flashcards. I have since bought a 2nd hand English reading kit.
A very nice lady got back to me today to say she's willing to sell her full set (infant all the way through to 3-4yrs old) Eng and Maths at $250 each + the respective GD books, and Mandarin set at 280. If you take Eng + Mandarin then $500.
If anyone is interested pls email to [email protected] directly.

teddybear,
wish I could put bb's cot in another room, but unfortunately, my house is such that we have one room downstairs and two upstairs. And we don;t have bathroom/wc upstairs. So we have shifted temporarily to the downstairs room. Only one room so baby cot has to be next to our bed. Guess it will be easier on us for the first few months also.

Seabreeze,
yah yah true he might change his mind again!
Teddybaby (sorry typed teddybear by mistake just now!)
I also bought a baby monitor. Saw my bro/sil using it at their place and found it extremely useful. They don't have to go running into the baby room at the slightest sound. Only have to look at their baby monitor to see if anything is up. I bought one with both audio and visual capabilities.

Sunshine,
I asked my SIL to buy for me from california. It's supposedly the most highly rated set in Amazon (and they had many many different ones). Price was USD140 or 145. Can't rem exactly.
Brand is Summer Infant. Model is "Day and night handheld colour video monitor"
Can see colours, good battery life (also AC adapter but I need to buy a normal step up transformer for it at the hardware store), up to 350 feet range, auto night vision for dark rooms.
We need one esp because I intend to put baby in her own room in time to come.

Got this info:
Back in the middle of your pregnancy, your baby's weight was made up of only two percent fat; now that percentage has soared to closer to 15 percent (and will increase to 30 percent at term). Which means your baby's once skinny arms and legs are now quite plump…and irresistibly, squeezably soft.
This explains why baby will be gaining lots of weight in the 3rd trimester.
Baby clothings:
The shop at AMK is the cheapest so far, 4pcs for $10 and lots of diff brands of cloth nappies. Intend to do the last min stock-up from there.
Baby sleeping:
Try not to let bb sleep with you. My fren's son slept with the mum until 10 yrs old and the poor HB has to sleep on the floor.

My SIL bought it during the US thanksgiving sale so it was a bit cheaper I think.

moomooland,
not sure about shaving practices during delivery. If you are keen, can try brazilian waxing. Find Strip's brazilian wax quite painless and very clean, all done in 15 mins. Might be a bit painful like ants bite the first time. Cleaner after delivery with all the bleeding and lochia.. Its slightly less than 60 bucks including GST. Heard honeypot is good but never try them. Think Strip has more outlets than honeypot.

alfafa,
first 1 or 2 times might feel painful and uncomfy. Subsequently, I rate it as painless. The kind of wax that strip uses is good, unlike those kind of wax that other salons uses for underarm or leg wax. Go for the hard wax, faster, painfree and lesser regrowth... Go try for it..

waxing / shaving - i wld actually advise u to opt for waxing instead of shaving... reason is that for shaving, the hair grows back faster... plus u will have lochia & be wearing pads... for me, when the hair starts to grow, its super duper itchy! esp after shaving! as compared to waxing, the hair growth is slower so by the time the hair starts growing back, lochia may have already stopped and wun need to wear pad le =P thats my own experience la... heee heee... and, pain depends on individuals... everyone has their own pain threshold... initially when i did it the 1st time, was almost painfree! 2nd time felt some pain, 3rd time also felt some pain but to me is tolerable... jus tahan awhile and after that, smooth, fair, hairless down under!!! lurve that feeling! heee... feel like xiao mei mei... hahaha!!!
since last night and this morning, didnt feel any baby movements... was quite worried... cos i didnt sleep well last night and usually can feel her moving.. but didnt feel anything... so i called my gynae's clinic, the nurse asked me go for ctg... i went but my gynae off le.. so she did for me... after that phew! cn hear the heartbeat... then she said will show to my gynae tmr... had a bit of problem locating heartbeat as well.. according to the nurse, she said bb small so swimming all over the plc cnt find it... *shrugx* anyway she very nice.. she waited for me though clinic supposed to close at 1pm.. i arrived 1.15pm =p on top of that, she didnt charge me for the ctg ... but duno she will charge to my next visit or nt.. i think she closed her accts for that day le.. then lazy to on comp n machine.. hahaha! anyway she was quite nice.. reassured me and told me what to look out for... she said i missed the gynae as well.. if came earlier then friday dont need to come back liao... dang!
but dunno why bb nt really moving leh... i cn feel hardening on n off but nt funny active movements like the past few days... dunno is it becos bb tired or affected by my cough... =(

Gynae Updates
*************
Just done with my 35week 1 day check. Baby is about 2.75kg and continues to be in a head down position.
Also had my GBS swap done and because I complained of pelvic pressure and tightening of tummy, gynae did my first VE (she asked me if she cld do one) and there is not dilatation.
Cindy,
Why do you have to go for C-section?

don't worry dear. since your ctg report came out fine all should be ok. but continue monitoring and don't hesitate to call your gynae if you think there is anything amiss.

oh by the way, I didn't gain any weight in the last 3 weeks. All the extra weight went to baby. My next visit is in week 37.

for cordlife, if you are going for the 10 or 21yr plan, only the 'referral' person gets a $50 cheque. It is only with the annual plan that you too get an additional $50 discount.
I just signed up with cordlife today after my appt.

I'm not sure whether wintertime has the same cordlife rep as me. I called the main line and was connected to her. I took the 21yr plan.

I can understand your anxiety. At this point of time when space is short in tummy, baby will move lesser too. Plus the CTG wld have shown baby's normal heart rate. Hopefully gynae will call you tomoro to clarify things.

Queenie,
Don't think CTG is free.
missycandy,
lucky you, don't have to pay for it. I had to be strapped for near half hr for the CTG.
Promeganate,
my baby's weight is only 2.1kg at 34+4 weeks. Gynae says average leh. Can feel more frequent contractions and pelvic is getting heavier. hope can last for another 2 to 3 weeks..

missycandy,
I was charged $45 for CTG last Thur! and my gynae questioned me why i didn't do a proper baby kick count when I showed him my baby kick chart - sometimes very low, sometimes very high. I'm suppose to rush to A&E for CTG scan if baby kick count drop below 50%. He said he got case whereby baby neck get tangled up with the cord. So, he want me to be serious in keeping track of baby kick count.

RE: Shaving
I saw in my friend's TMC bill.. they charge $10 for shaving but i not sure whether it is for C-sec or for the natural birth cos she was suppose to give birth naturally but ended up E-csec
But i heard from my colleagues it really depends on how ur hair grow down there... they dont really shave all.. they only shave where the gynae need to make the epi, so if that area no hair, no need to shave.
