Hm.. scary? actually not really lar, just dun stand beneath my legs and observe should be okay, coz i myself didnt really see a thing during the process.. will just ask my girl to stand beside mummy... should be okay coz in western countries, it's pretty normaly for other kids to participate in the mom's birth process.. somemore my girl is stil young, dun think she would remember a thing haha! but need to check with gynae whether she can go in or not first..if not, i really dunno how.. ask my hubby to wait outside with her lor.. nobody to attend to her at all here in Sg..

Ic ic.. i am not an aromatherapeutic person, so it's okay anyway if really my girl is with me, she would be the main cheerer during painful period haha.. jsut scolded her yesterday, i told her: one day my waterbag might burst coz of screaming at you hahaha.. she was getting on my nerves sometimes haha.. just cannot sit still!!!

I choose the method that helps me to bring the bb down faster hence opening the cervic faster..
using the gravity during contractions, to push down the bb, enhance dilation progress!

ya, some places will still do the massages for us. but hor, massage cannot instantly solve the swelling... tink must be done few mths in advance lor.

morning excited mummies to be...
cola and audrey r making the rest of mummies excited and worried at the same time!!! made everybody wanting to pack hospital bag.. whahhaaa..
BTW, bb was 34weekd and 4 days yesterday and weighing at 2.3kg.. and mummy has put on a total of 12kg!!! my goodness~~~
yesterday i didnt feel bb movement alot.. but alot of 'hardening'... i was put on CTG.. had contraction all the way.. but still manageable..
gynae asked me to pack my hospital bag.. and monitor bb movement and contraction.. since i'm going for c-section and cannot agree with gynae's opinion on which date to operate, he will let me know when the date is nearer.. hehehe..
anyway going for gynae check weekly already..

can i ask if i intend to total latch on my bb, i dont have to prepare steriliser and bottles right?? i havent sterilise.. actually i have no intention of bottle feed.. my gynae asked me to TBF for at least 6 months and forget abt bottles..
but i wanted to let bb drink/ rinse water.. else will have white patches inside the mouth..

hi shers,
i'm about 36 weeks and when i was 33 weeks, bb only 1.8kg so i don't think she is 2.7kg..
29 weeks: 1kg
33 weeks: 1.8kg
36 weeks: maybe 2.3kg?
i also intend to TBF but also want to let bb drink some water to rinse her mouth.. so i don't know how to go about doing it. i think must sterilize the bottle anyway to put water inside..

On four is only when pushing the bb out. I was standing & walking while contractions occurs.

audrey, what i mean is if u are to give birth now, bb will be ard 2.7kg only.. will be super tiny.. so dont scare yrself.. give gynae a ring.. best to detect is through CTG.. if yr gynae feels that u r experience contraction, he will ask u to make a trip down..
ya.. i think need to sterilise at least 1 bottle to drink water.. maybe after latching, feed bb with some water.. just abit will do..
i got to ask my CL how to go abt it.. coz #1, my gal relies on EBM in bottle.. haiz.. this time i hope i can successfully latch on..

my gynae not in.. she's only in on tuesday and other days she's at some other place..
dunno why i pay so much money for wat also..
the nurse just say if not 5 mins apart den don't bother to admit..
and if waterbag never burst den don't need to waste time calling or going down.
so rude.

No lar, most MTBs are excited coz the D day is approaching! Luckily most mummies are looking forward to the natural way of delivery.. it's not scary at all
u are so funny, cant agree with gynae on the day, probably u will pop faster than the date agreed..
I am 35 wks today, my next appt is on 7th April.. my gyane never told me about CTG yet, think he will ask me to do CTG a wk after that.. he is a happy go lucky person, only did VE for me on my 38wks++ visit during #1..
Joyce,
But not every hospital/gynae will approve the all four method rite? how did he do the stitches then, after delivering, u were asked to lie down back on the bed? just imagining haha!
Juju
I think another method is kneeling down on your knee, i saw it in you tube, but i think u must have strength to hold your weight before kneeling down despite all the contractions.
Xue
You are indeed very very excited!!
Qin Yi
Yes, little terror coz coming to experience her "Terrible 2".. very helpful but "yue bang yue mang" i was folding the washed nb's clothes last nite for 45 mins!! it could be done in i think 10 mins, but okay she messed them up after awhile, climb here and there... after the folding session, i was soooooooooooo exhausted haha!

i can feel bb.. she kicking very very hard..
my next appt is 8th april (one more week)..
i also quite fed up with my gynae.. everytime i ask her a question when i see her, she just keep brushing it aside, den just say contractions den come in.. if not don't need..
all the mummies here are so much more helpful than the nurses/gynae..
i think if i reali go into labour, i will call one of u instead.. cos the nurses take SO LONG to answer the phone.. i think by the time they answer, i give birth liao. zzz.

cola, i hope i can wait till at least bb turns week 39 then c-sect.. i want bb to be at least 3kg.. else will be so tiny.. in fact i wanted bb to be full term.. whahaha..
a friend of mine had her bb induced at week 38.. her bb was only 2.8kg when born.. when i carried her, i was shaking.. so tiny~ and the mummy only dilated till 7cm.. gynae suggested emergency c-sect but she insisted to try because she was in labour for more than 24hrs.. dont wan to waste effort and strength.. but luckily bb is small enough to squeeze through the 7cm..
anyway april thread mums, alot of them went through emergency c-sect.. sometimes i read abit from that thread.. scary~

the others see her for so long inside!
last month i went, she skipped my queue number cos the nurses FORGOT to put my file in her room.. i waited for few hours alrdy.. i went up n ask the nurse leh. then she was like oh really meh? so rude.
maybe becos i downgrade to B1. but cannot be wat, im still visiting the gynae under A class, only hospitalization then stay B class..
so rude. KKH A class service isn't that fantastic.

hi Lily - thanks. I havent got the tea yet... thinking of swinging by during lunchtime.. but very swamped with work
Shers - thanks - I linked yours to mine too
Btw, when do you start going to gynae more often? I am in my week 32 now and my next visit (from last week) was 3 weeks time, i.e. 17-Apr. I would be 34 weeks by then... shouldnt the visit be closer by now?
Shers - thanks - I linked yours to mine too

Ya TBF is easier, but i will see how, especially if we went back to work, not possible to fully latch on rite.. just prepare your steriliser, and make sure it works hehehe! i have not taken out mine yet. I will let bb drink water as well, coz my #1 also use to drink water after milk, until now she would request for water after her milk... which is good, coz she is basically a water baby..
Hope my #2 will want to latch on.. coz i still remember pumping nite mare, sleep so late due to last pump, wake up super early for first pump, so tiring!
Ya i agree, tts y i dun want my gynae to induce me unless there is sign, coz he ever suggests to induce on 30 Apr if i want to... what for rite? later cannot come out, emergency c-sect this would make my overall experience unpleasant.
My girl was only 2.9kg when born, okay lar, after awhile can grow bigger
she is quite petite now (tho got fleshes), but pretty tall.
Audrey
take it easy.. dun panic yourself k. hm.. your gynae's nurse is not helpful ar.. that is quite bad hor.. my gynae's nurses are very nice, in fact i like them a lot kekeke.. gynae also okay, dun really talk a lot but never say anything that scare MTBs.. haha thinking that i need to pay him on every visit coz he got no package.. i think quite worth it
Xue
Dun think negatively..

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> Shers,
I've oso heard of some gynae actually can help to 'turn' the bb down..
But some aren't really into tt idea.. Maybe I can ask my gynae...
His head is in the down position during the last 2 visits.
Just hope he will guai guai and stay head down...
I can see veins around my tummy area.. Think my skin is being over stretched.
No stretchmarks i hope. my feet swelling oso... comes and go... bt still able to wear my
normal sandals...
Finally.! April is here.! </font>.

Audrey:
so sorry to hear tht from your gynae's clinic! Keep us inform of your conditions any time!
rc_Cola/Juju:
If your gynae pre-agreed in the birthplan, which will copy to hospital, the nurses/midwives have to oblige to it!
I was helped to the bed after the cord was cut & the nurses help bb clean. I was actually kneeling on the mattress (but they discribe this as on fours instead!)
KKH ...you have to be firmed, I was binded on bed with CTG for 20hr when I had #1.

cola, ya... i havent try my pump whether the motor still working ornot.. but i have an extra manual 1.. hehehe.. tonite will try and pack my hosp bag..
i want to latch on during my maternity leave.. then try to store up 2 weeks before i come back to work..
my gal also drinks plenty of water.. maybe because my mum trained her to drink water after each feeding? not sure also.. or maybe she is already sweating and need water intake? whahaha..
i will see how it goes.. anyway i standby bottles already.. wash and sterilise bottle will be quite fast..
no point inducing unless bb is at danger.. else have to suffer labour pain.. worse if turn into emergency.. waste $ and effort..
my gal is 21 months and weighing 12.7kg and height 85cm.. she is quite fleshy.. how abt feb_mum, cola, flommy, cheekz gals?
alot of pple kept commenting that my gal is 'fat'! ask my mama and me not to feed her too much.. but how can we diet such a small gal who is going through growing up stage?

Tummyache > I had that since yesterday. On and off. Am I having those symptoms for delivery too? Last night scratched my belly slightly harder while lying on the bed and think my belly abit out-of-shape. Haha. Baby kicked me hard too.
We dun need to bring the breastpump on the day of delivery yah? Our breastmilk will not be expressed out volumes sufficient for baby yet till few days later is it? Plus, we are encourage to TBF while during stay at hospital yah? Kinidly advise me.
Read that few mummies are seeing their gyne next week and me too. Hopefully, to hear good good news.

ling, this post is for u...and the rest who has receive the complimentary coverlook makeover voucher...i just call to make appt...the reason they stated the date 16th april cos their studio is under renovation...now is open concept..so only babies is allow to take their pix..pregnant mum can only take after mid april...so we got to call and make the appt when the date is nearer..
wow! u mummies making me so excited! duno who will be the 1st to pop!
im only 31wk+ today.. and there might be change of plan that i will be going back to spore on 25 apr instead of 11 apr, think by the time most of the mummies here had popped!
shers,
i saw ur blog, ur gal is so chubby! my boy is 17mth+, weighing 11.8kg and 85cm also.. i think he's tall maybe takes after my hubby's gene coz he's 1.9m tall.. im rather short at 1.68cm, so hope both boys dun take my "height genes"!

xue, ya.. hopefully yr gynae can help in case. veins in tummy, i had it for very long time already. tot its normal.. hahaha.. also at breasts areas.. for breasts areas, my gynae says that body is preparing to produce milk.. so no underwired bras.. for tummy veins, he didnt comment anything.. but he is pleased to see that my tummy has no stretch marks. my mama told me that this runs in the family. my mama has no stretch marks despite having 4 kids. my 2 sisters have none too. so luckily for us..
this time i also have no swollen feets as well.. last pregnancy, i think i only had it when i was in week 37 on wards.. fingers crossed that i wldnt have this time.. quite tiring to have swollen feets..
sk, no need to bring pump. coz usually milk will only come in few days after delivery. I had it 2 days after delivery. just latch on if milk decides to arrive early.. hehehe..
nurses wldnt encourage.. they will ask u whether u want TBF, partial BF or FM?
tinkles mum and porky, i will start my weekly visit to gynae once i'm in week 35..
maybe depends on gynae? or is it standard? not sure also.. gynae says when to see him, just go lor.. anyway no need money to see him.. just time
