<font color="119911">Hi Ladies,</font>
After the fell, my pigu and lower abdomen still aches throughout the night. Early this morning my HB send me to hospital and my gynae put me on foetal monitoring for an hour. My baby's heartbeat is going strong and steady so thank god he is safe
My gynae said that I have most probably sprainned myself after that fall. I came back home and realise I got quite a number of bruises behind my back... I am really glad to hear that everything is fine but I burnt my hb pocket again
LFB, Hope that you and baby are doing fine... Rest More! Aiyoh, I pity your friend also leh... Wonder why they still stress her for? No milk already got mentally and physical stress then they still give her unneccessary stress. Maybe your mil is not like them leh? hehehe... You will be doing fine girl...
TubbyMummy, hi 5* I also wonder if baby movements are considered as "kick"?

LFB, forgot to add that your friend v poor thing... Kenna all the insensitive treatment. Some more BM is always low in the beginning, many older generation ppl don't understand. Pity she had to undergo unnecessary stress, at a time when she's already stressed enough with new baby & recuperation. Are u engaging CL?
TubbyM- yeah I think maybe just buy the donut shape for 0-4mths hor?? But dono what material is the Friven one...
I saw those Babysafe ones at Robinsons like not very consistent softness leh.. 2 pillows hv different density and hardness one... so macham no quality control.

The Babysafe one is stuffed with normal polyester fiber, or the latex material?

sweethalo, I'd bought the donut latex pillow from babysafe... I think the material not bad
Maybe you can try going other shopping mall to see?
Regarding Kick Counting :
According to the nurses in Gynae clinic, when we reach 28wks, bb will not rest/sleep for more than 15-30 mins.
I was told to divide an hour into 15min intervals. Any mvt within one 15min period is considered as 1, no movt is 0.. that's all. Do this monitoring for 3hrs at a go, same timing everyday so that you can see difference or consistency.
Hope this helps.

Blurmom, at least you've put your mind at ease, don't worry about the $ lah, not that you have a choice about these things, better to be safe. For the kicks thing, I'm seeing my doc tomorrow, let's see if he asks me to start counting. If he does, I shall ask if blobby movements count as a kick or not haha. If he doesn't ask me to count, I shall blissfully not start counting yet hehe.
sweethalo, why not call up FrivenCo to ask them about the pillow? But how come the babysafe one got inconsistencies? One got more stuffing than the other? If both babysafe & friven are made of the same stuff, might as well just get the friven one cos a little bit cheaper, and they deliver to your doorstep
Unless you prefer to have the sensory experience of poking the things again before you buy hehe.

To date I still do not know the weight of my small one... dono what to buy for diapers
Wonder who carries Fiven pillows... dont really see them around.
Yeah the BabySafe one had one very much heavier than the rest... maybe i shld hv bought that one- probably had some gold bars in them..hahaha

blurmom,
glad to hear that bb is alright.. well gyane charges are like that one.. the moment got emergency = big hole in the pocket
I also spent quite alot on gynae charges in my first trimester due to spotting (no package yet)
regarding baby kick:
my gynae told me to monitor in the morning, afternoon and evening. as long as baby is moving or kicking, it is ok. if bb does not move in the morning, wait for the afternoon, if still no movement, then its time to call him or go to hospital directly.
he says if want to count 10 times a day, we will be so busy counting til no time to do other things liao..
and also, for things like strangulation by cord, he says it happens over a few days.. hence monitoring by 3 parts per day is sufficient..

chidori, ya I also can't imagine if I have to keep exact count. Cos now, I don't even pay much attention when the baby is kicking, I think I will be the blur blur kind, and keep losing track!
sweethalo, there's a Friven & Co shop at Tanglin, the building that used to be a post office. Is that the same co?
Blurmom, yes, will definitely update. This time I'm hoping to get all the measurements, not just the belly one. And I'm also taking my GTT, hope results are ok.... scared...

Baby Movt- think quite easy when u break it down to 15min periods ba... find a part of the day that you are mostly free... say 2.30 to 5.30 or even after dinner at night?
Baby Thermometer- I bought the Braun IRT 4520 ...seems to be highly recommended

hello...
blurmom, glad everything's fine.
LFB, take more rest, dont move about too much.....
for the sake of bb.... $$$ spent is bo bian. wat to do....
bb kicks:
actually, i feel more of bb stretching etc instead of kicks.
Tubbymummy, i heard raves about Braun's thermometer. Have friends using it. One of my friends told me Pigeon thermometer not too gd cos it takes a long time for the temperature to show.

tubbym,
get the braun ear thermometer, most widely used by families with children. although its almost $180, but v worth it la cos ur child is gona need it for like the next 10 yrs.
i have the pigeon one, but its quite useless. it has since become obselete in the hse.
INFANT PILLOW
i bot the babysafe flat one. can use from NB to 3-4YO. the donut one doesnt last very long.

LFB, maybe just to be sure, u give CL your "house rules" right from the start. Like you intend to try to BF, she is not to interfere with remarks like "u not enough milk, starving your baby" etc.
sweethalo, your doc is at GlenE right? Maybe pop by Friven at your next doc visit? then don't need to purposely go there just to poke one pillow hahaha...
thermometers:
Ok, I shall go check out Braun. I saw some in baby dept, and even got one where u hold the thermometer 2.5cm AWAY from baby's forehead, and it is supposed to be able to zap the temperature from that distance. I thought that was absolutely crazy! What if room got aircon, or window open got breeze?? So strange.

<font color="0077aa">Tubbym~, that probe thing isn't uncomfortable for me. Especially not in the first half of pregnancy. It's more like "the real thing" than the swab I kenah'ed - which is like a cotton bud the length of a satay stick. Can you imagine that being jabbed between dry & delicate lips in search for the secret opening? That was what I got. I think the probe's quite nice and smooth.. Lubricated some more!! Heehee
Blurmom, I think visits to obgyn will begin to be fortnightly as you go into Week 30.
LFB, I emphathise with your friend. Yet sometimes I think we need to just be assertive and firm with others, instead of allowing them to get into our minds and mess it up. It's a 2-way thing. That's why we need each other's moral support here when ppl cause us to doubt our initial resolutions. Keep encouraging your friend. She can pump pump pump to get supply going again if it isn't too late, right?
Re: Bb Kick Counting
Books & articles I've read seem to concur there's no "correct" range of kicks to be getting a day.. just monitor that bb's movements don't differ significantly from his/her norm. Obgyn asks me if bb's been kicking regularly throughout the day, but hasn't asked me to do actual kick counting (yet?)...
>> I haven't been counting but just keep note that he thumps from time to time. It's so funny sometimes when he's nudging the very bottom of the tummy and I can't get to him cos I'm sitting down. I smile to myself like a maniac cos he seems to be "toe-ing the top of my low-riding knickers"
Although, if he's supposed to be head down, I really can't figure out why the movements are spread all over... so I'm guessing he's still squirming and flipping in all directions.</font>

caramelle, the decal I ordered was $27 (I paid additional for reg.mail). I also ordered from Leshonne a $17 one. Different designs of course, the design that I want from each of them is not carried by the other person. Quality wise, both about the same. I have not pasted them on yet, so not sure about adhesiveness. Leshonne's BP: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/2265382.html?1237444017

Cassey, now that you've described it, I recall having done a swab before as well, several years ago (not pap smear). I don't remember it to have been painful... Maybe when pregnant, it's different, or maybe my memory chose to block it out hahaha. I thought they'll insert the other tool first, u know the one they use for pap smear, then they insert the "satay stick"?

Ah niah, I stay in one of Singapore's food paradise (amongst other things) area hahaha, lots of 24-hr food places hehe. But I'm too lazy to go out and buy, it was pouring just now also. This week didn't do grocery shopping. Oops.
