but even if all absorbed by baby, there should still be overall weight gain right?

Dolly: I have been trying to bring up my haemoglobin level for some time already by eating lots of red meat but still low! so my gynae prescribes iron pills for me. I think for my case its hereditary cos my mum had low haemoglobin level also.
Well if the fluid is replaced by baby then i guess it makes sense. My gynae says baby is average size so I also don't worry too much.

Tinybubu , Per day claim for 4 bedder (if you are at TMC) is 400. 50 dollars is to claim against doctor’s fee. If you staying at TMC, without any procedure like vaginal examination, no drip etc.. I think can cover cos TMC 4 bedded one night, they charge me abt 280. But if you want to get hospitalization leave, I think no need to check into hospital wor… maybe just ask ur gynae, and if she thinks necessary, u can get the leave but stay at home
Blurmom, thanks dear! Remember to update ur blog about ur gynae visit hee
11beans, great to hear that.! Your bb is of good weight
tubbym, abt vaginal examination..my gynae stucked a scope in me, the one used during 1st trimester to scan for bb to check my cervix length each time I visit her now. When I was in the labour ward for pre term contractions, she stuck her finger inside to feel the cervix…. Eh.. abit pain but bearable.
About the coconut, anybody knows why the thai fragrant small coconuts cannot drink? the 1 dollar plus 1 coconut that you find in pasar malam? I got 2 friends who gave birth say they drank that instead of the green ones wor.. or are they the same thing?

aiyoh... (headache)
annie, i'll be in one-bedder but after delivery you'll be so tired you're either sleeping or baby will be in room with you. and for me, hubby will be there all the time too so won't be so scary lah..else leave the lights on..
bbaugustine, if haemoglobin level is low (same like me) you must take iron supplement pills because it can lead to low IQ in baby. my first gynae never prescribe me anything but my second gynae gave me iron tablets. and remember not to take within 2-3 hours of drinking milk/eating calcium because it hinders absorption of iron into the body. and drink orange juice/eat fruits with vitamin c - this can help imrpove absorption of iron by 200%.

Caramelle, thanks for the advice. I will try to make sure I eat fruits rich in vitamin C. Think I will get papayas. I can't take oranges cos I'm very prone to cough. Didn't know that the haemoglobin level was linked to baby's IQ.
Blurmom, I think I am a procrastinator!I haven't done the pre-registration and haven't packed my delivery bag! I'm still rather relaxed haha.

there wont be a single gynae in sg who would allow you to be discharged right after you had your delivery. you need to at least stay for one day for observation to keep a lookout for complications. and it's wont be easy for you to walk immed after delivery.

<font color="0077aa">Re: Today's Weigh-In
I thought I'd touch my original target total pregger gain of 6kg today. Then have only 0-1kg allowance left til bb pops.
But PHEW!!! Weight unchanged from 1.5 weeks ago! Dr demanded immed "YOU'RE NOT RESTING ENOUGH, IS IT?!" I told him no la, I think it's cos it's "early morning" weight, before I've had any food ma.
But yippee!! Bb has grown well and put on estimated ~0.2kg. And unchanged weight means my total gain to date just short of of 5kg. I can be a bit more relaxed abt the remaining weeks then!! *dances around room with joy*
dolly, YAY! My little fella's always been on the lighter side so I'm glad the powdered milk seems to be working and he's catching up slightly. Kekeke... Ermm.. Or is it that yours also a little one? I'm a little squeamish about touching myself to do the perineum massage... Will take it easy and see how things go, I guess.
Tubbym~, yes, he'll stick his fingers up. *bleurgh* My sis said it caused her a lot of discomfort. Maybe for those who stopped intercourse earlier it hurts more? I don't know.. Whoa, if a finger or two (or 3?!) hurts, then I won't be too optimistic abt avoiding episiotomy. So I hope I take it as well as you did!
Thanks, Shelisa, ahnetsan, Jackie!
bbAug~, soon soon soon!
neeciel, my boy's a little bat who likes being upside down. He's been hanging around head down in the womb since wk 29+ leh.
BlurMom, not as easy to pack hosp bag as I initially thought. Sigh
There're clothes I still want to wear - so reluctant to put in discharge outfit. (Sorry for being bimbotic!) Mobile charger cannot pack in advance.. My toiletries & cosmetics also cannot pack in advance cos I'm still using... I hate having it half done and half undone. *gggrrrrr*

Cassey: Good to hear that you didn't gain much even your baby gained! I hope to have that too
So it's called perineum massage is it? Yeah, I also a bit uneasy about it, so have not started yet. Plus we got to get some pure olive oil to oil our fingers before doing so...
For beauty care and cosmetics...etc It's only 2 days! Just pack those samples should be enough lah ...

Good morning ladies,
been busy, so no posting. So many discussion on BH. I think I am getting them too. Sudden hardening and cramp like, lasted only a short while.
Cassey, good that junior isn't that big. I am hoping for mine to be around 3.2kg, but think no hope cos projection wise, he will reach 3.8kg when I am suppose to pop. So now I control my appetite like nobody's business!
Dolly, I bought my babysafe mattress from Taka when they had sale. Quite good discount. The mattress super heavy, but was told by sis that it is good, cos with holes. And since it is latex, no mites. At least what I read when I google.
Re:Coconut
my another colleague(so many different opinion)told me start when I am in 34 weeks. Once a week, then twice then thrice. So I also dunno when is good.

i gt my mattress from kiddy palace, the normal ones for my playpen. also gotten a babysafe mattress for cot from robinsons sale. babysafe mattress is more expensive but like what LFB says, it's latex and with holes so makes the mattress 'breathable'. maybe you can do a google search on babysafe products and read up on its quality.
hospital bag
will start packing next wk once all the laundry is done. heehee.
