xue, sama sama, me also on hospitalization leave this week... at least can move ard more to induce labour since i m off anti-contraction pill

 

[flommie]

Xue - My edd moved to 29 april..gynae says will check me for dilation tis saturday, if dilate le den will induce tis Sunday. I tink he feels my baby is beefy enuf (i forget to ask bb's weight but i suddenly gained 2kg last week) so induce for easier natural delivery.

 

[little_squirrel]

Flommy,
we can request for induce? But I dunno my baby got gain weight how much this 2 weeks.

 

[flommie]

Lily - I didn't request, my gynae suggested, I tink hes monitoring my amniotic fluid level too, in case it starts to get lower approaching my delivery date.

 

[adv_sports]

flommy, i hope my gynae will suggest the same when i c him on wed

how regular r u seeing ur gynae now?

 

[flommie]

adv sports - i have been seeing him once a week ever since i turned 36 weeks. I'm now 38 weeks 5 days. U can't wait to see your baby ar heehee..

 

[aupok]

hi jamie,
i am 38 weeks 1 day today haha!

adv_sports
no la i haven't pop yet.. sunday the forum was down so i couldn't come in

how r u? hope everything is ok!

 

[jen_bibi]

morning mommies..

my last fri checkup @37 wks, my bb puts on another 600g.. now weighting in @3.2kg..
gyne told me not to 'eat' too much cos scare i will ve a hard time to get bb out..

n e thing is after reading so much on e durian stuffs @ goodwood park, we actually went down there to buy b4 e checkup

seems like dat's my last durian related stuff liao

 

[adv_sports]

flommy, wow, u r almost full term! jia you!

actually m in dilemma -- to wait or be induced... m 36 weeks 2 days today -- but oledi on "standby mode" since 34 weeks(due to early contraction n 3cm dilation)...

 

[cheyanne]

finally the forum is up...

mornin to all mummies...

flommy...u r next to pop sia...

 

[adv_sports]

audrey, thanks, m doing ok... on-off bearable tummy ache -- dun think it's contraction

how abt urself? still hv painful tummy ache?

 

[aupok]

adv_sports
i think just wait until gynae suggests induction.. i read somewhere if the mum chooses to induce the baby (when gynae doesn't suggest), its like putting the baby's head inside water n not letting him/her breathe, den putting down again, den lifting up.. when i read that i threw all thoughts of induction away. unless gynae says i must induce, better not!!

sk,
the avent nipple cream good! last nite i tried it.. its more liquid based than cream/gel based.. easy absorption also. i think i will switch to this.

 

[aupok]

adv_sports
i'm also having on and off bearable tummyache.. the unbearable one disappeared already..

 

[poohwei]

Hi adv sports,

Me going to see gynae again later. On standby mode now also. Think gynae very lugi for taking me for #2. Cos i am taking a package with unlimited visits n she has to see me on a weekly basis since week 32 cos my baby was small, plus i have pre-term labour symptoms. Hoping to be on anti-contraction pills for another week so tat baby can come out later. I am still experiencing contractions and it is starting to feel more painful as compared to last week. Hopefully, my dilation does not increase as of last week and baby had beefed up.

Today is my hubby's birthday and i cant go out to celebrate with him..So sian! Any mummies experience pain on ur tigh and back when you walk? Think baby is pressing on my sciatic nerve and it is killing me if i have to walk.

 

[adv_sports]

audrey, yup, will only go for induce if gynae suggests it... otherwise, will wait "patiently"

 

[cheyanne]

wah audrey also so early...slp so late...wake up so early...

me cant survive tis hot weather...told hb tat fr now till i giv birth...everyday will be either teh c bing...or milo bing...

a short 5mins walk fr mrt to office n i sweat like hell...muz bring towel come office bathe liao...

 

[aupok]

adv_sports
haha i'm also waiting "patiently"..

cheyanne
i cannot slp. i wake up 3 times to pee already. hard to fall back aslp haha!

 

[xue_ni]

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> Morning ladies!

adv_sports, im doing lotsa walking as well.. But gynae did VE and says im not dilated yet leh... did ur gynae estimate when u'll deliver?

flommy, 2kg in a wk?? i've gained 2.3kg in 2 wks and im so shocked.! i din ate more then usual bt i still can manage to gain so much.. gynae says maybe it's water retention...</font>.

 

[adv_sports]

poohwei, did u get the booster shots to speed up bb's lung development? wat's ur bb's weight now?
my gynae is happy when my bb's weight hit 2.6kg @ 35.5week -- so i m off anti-contraction pills

celebrate ur hubby's bday at home lor -- order delivery and juz enjoy a leisure evening

i will hv backache when i walk longer -- due to weight of tummy...

 

[cheyanne]

ya poohwei...celebrate hb bday at hm la...if nt muz find aircon place...so hot...

 

[flommie]

Adv sports - yeh if bb can stay in ur tummy longer better so the lung functions better..lets all jia you together!!

Cheyanne - Yeh, i will b at the frontline to be thrown into a confinement wif this kind of mega unbearable hot weather :-( I can smell the heat oredi...sob sob..

Xue - Ya hor, muz b the weather la, i was downing water like nobody's biz den my left foot start to swell a tiny bit. But gain 2kg in one week like too excessive ley.

 

[xue_ni]

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> flommy,
yar hor... 2kg in a wk is abit much... or ur bb takes most of the gained weight?
the wkend weather is really hot.! me too drinks tonnes of water. my hands and feets swells a little more then normal...</font>.

 

[ak4gn]

Flommy - i also gained almost 2kg last week. don't know how much goes to the baby.

i don't want to think about weight anymore. just continue to drink milk, and eat as per normal.

 

[carolinequek]

Hi Mummies... finally saw the forum working again.

I had very bad time these past weeks, especially over teh weekend.

I tried to lie facing up and when i was turning in the middle of the night, i was woken by very very sharp ache! So I laid down on my left but baby kept moving like he is not comfy.

during the day when I tried to walk, the pelvic was very very 'sng' and when I sit or lie down, the backache comes again...

Does anyone know what I need to do to help myself? Esp the night sleep cos it's makign me losing sleep and very difficult to focus on work the next day ...

Thanks Mummies and have a gd day!

 

[porky_jean]

morning mummies ! finally can post in the forum...was so bored on sat nite and sunday...never went out cos weather so hot...

xue, u are the first to post once the forum is up again..hehe..i waited till 11.30pm then went to slp liao...

audey, is the daphne bag arrive this week or next week ?

jamie, how is ur cramps ? hope u feeling better...btw, u shd be able to feel ur baby's hand movement at pelvis area since the head is down..

gg to rain at my side...

 

[adv_sports]

xue, my gynae juz asked me to wait for further dilation or actual labour pain... didn't estimate when i'll deliver... though he mentioned he had a patient that is 3cm for 6 weeks from 33 week, had to induce at 39 week *faint* hope i dun hv to wait THAT long...

yah, all mummies jia you together! the BIG day is nearing!

re: weight gain
flommy, did u hv durian to boost ur bb's weight? so irony hor, drink more water and still hv water retention??!!

xue, maybe it is the "final" growth spurt

i suddenly lost 1kg after my last gynae visit -- hubby beri worried and try to beef me up with chicken essence n milk... hmmm, maybe the extra 1 kg was due to water retention coz my feet were swollen then... now no more swelling!

 

[xue_ni]

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> Porky,
