Hello!
Yalor, dolly, today very slow hor? I didn't come in yesterday at all, and was so surprised to see that I didn't even have much posts to catch up on. Everyone out to take advantage of the last few weekends of freedom we have kekeke...
doglefox, I think VE only starts later, like 37wks onwards to check for dilation. Unless you're showing signs of early labour or dilation, in which case your obgyn may start doing VE earlier, just to be sure. If you relax and don't clench up all your muscles, it doesn't hurt. It helps if you trust your doc and feel comfortable with him/her, easier to relax
And needless to say, it definitely helps if your doc is GENTLE!
Ok, off to take my dinner now. STARVING!!

<font color="cc0099"> YAY!!! Done with week 37! Baby... you're welcome to pop anytime now! But PLEASE don't be overdue!
11Beans, B'Hicks is tightening/hardening of the bump - usually an entire stretch at one go - not just one small portion. Mine sometimes rises into a hard ball as it hardens. Typically it's all along the upper half down to the navel, other times it's entire left side or right side. More seldom it hardens all down the middle from top to bottom of bump. Rarely I get a BH on lower half of bump. Does that help? It just clenches/bloats til it's really hard, sustains for a few (or more) seconds, then it goes back to regular firmness again.
> I've just had an extremely BH'ey day today with 6-7 in an hour from 9-10am, another about 4 in the following hour til 11am, then about 2-3 per hour up to 2pm. But they haven't increased in intensity and after my aftnn nap, now they've eased off a bit.
JessMa, thanks for enquiring after me. I've been sleeping lots. Had quite a late night Fri - slept at 2.30 after hubby brought back my Mc'kers dinner/supper at 1am, slept in til 1pm, woke up, had SUBWAY!!!, took medication and went back to bed from 4-6pm. I've been falling back asleep each afternoon after taking antiobiotics and flu plus cough meds. I think I shall feel all better in time for my waffles on Tuesday!!
doglefox, long time to hear. Vaginal examination should not happen yet at 34 weeks. Perhaps a Strep B vaginal swab test..? But nope, he shouldn't stick fingers up your cervix if pregnancy has been smooth-going thus far. I believe it'll only happen after wk 37 when it no longer "matters as much" if the examination causes dislodge of mucus plug.
ECMum, I know of absolutely NO ONE who has eaten coconut and had labour induced because of that. If MTBs are waiting til after week 37 before they have a coconut, then I think it's their timing, more than the coconut, that contributed to the coincidence in timing of labour. My sister and I started at about week 34 and 32 respectively, she didn't pop immed. Neither have I even though I must have had at least 6-8 by now. Baby will pop when they're ready. So don't fret too much abt it.
dolly, 38 weeks meh? Going into 38th week tmr, I think..

mummies, i have 2 questions to ask ...
1) How do i remove the durian smell that's stuck in my fridge?
2) The Yami sales assistant told me to keep my tub of Yami in the freezer.However, it's frozen beyond belief now.Should I actually put it in the freezer instead?And if i do, how long will the Yami last?

Erm... Let me share my coconut story.
I had coconuts when I was carrying my boy. I still went for induce. Then after 3 pills went to c-sec. I had them like twice a week. Perhaps not enough? or... what?
Today went NTUC and crazy stocking up Friso 4 for my boy. One 1.8kg tin saves me $6. I bought like 10 tins! Thai coconut running out fast. When I reach there only left 4. I didn't get even one, looking at the long queue and running out of time. We just grab the milk powder for my boy.

Annie: one tin about 1 mth (2 feeds, morning night on weekdays, 3 feeds on weekends with extra one before nap time)
10 tins can last less than 1 year.
Consider very little already hahahahaha! I usually do stocking up so we can save( one tin $6, 10 tins $60)
My boy's name is Kassius so I wanted a nice name for my girl too. At first I thought, if it's another boy, his name will be Kayven. If girl I will name her Kaylyn. I even thought of Karen and Kelly but they seem so common.
Oh the name, I thought of it myself before goggle for the meaning. I see the werid side if I were to spell as Kaylyn with the double "Y". So I change it to Kaelyn. Or Kaelynn with the double N?

Annie, Cassey: My gynae keep pushing my EDD forward! Now it's end May, but really wonder if that's correct. Anyway, he said that if 41 weeks still dun pop then he might induce, because the placenta is getting old and might not provide as much nutrients liao. Now we can already see some white dots at the placenta, gynae said it's calcium deposit
Annie: My mum bought red dates since I'm in 1st trimester! hahaha, it's still in my fridge, and remember to take away the seed first as it's supposed to cause heatiness.
Tinybubu: Thanks for notifying, just tuned to National geographic
Jackie: yeah, my calf also kicking away during Wolverine!

sometime I wonder why some gynea estimate EDD by baby size, is it accurate? if your baby gene is big or tall means you wont/can't carry your baby till full term?
My gynea dun do that, he keep telling me my boy is big (especially the head) and tall too but he din bring forward my EDD. Maybe I ask him next week when I go for check up.

11Beans, my BHs makes my whole tummy rock hard, and somewhat square or distorted to one side. uterus is practicing contraction, so tummy actually seemed smaller and more compact in shape. if it's bb stretching, than it may not be the whole tummy and the tummy actually become bigger becos of the stretch instead of become smaller. am i making sense? hehe!!
me abt 1-2 days away fr starting of week 37. is full term start of week 37 or only when i finish the week than i'm considered full term? hmm....
Jackie, it's the malaysia coconut tat has the effect right? and that is the big one? haven start drinking young coconut regularly. must do it now. twice a week yeah!
tiny bubu, me also trying to get rid of a smell from my fridge. wanna buy lemon tmw. i'm gonna squeeze the juice into some warm water and wipe the fridge though. heard warm water bring out the smell.

<font color="aa00aa">Thanks Cassey and Mikarei !!
Yup that sounds exactly like what i've gotten !!!
twice so far, i thought is baby change position and me and hubby keep laughing and laughing and it hurt more !!
then i spend some time thinking abt it and start to suspect it's actually the BH contractions!! hahaaa...
i get the tingling feeling much more often though... that one, really uncomfortable.. and dunno what's that..
i think last night my baby changed position!! usually his legs seem to be on the left side, suddenly middle of last night i felt it changed to right side.. hmmm</font>

morning ladies!
oh, it's monday blues again. i hope i am on bed sleeping but i have to come work. argh.
updates from gyne visit last friday. bb weight is now 2.7kg as of 26wks 4 days. as usual, bb's head is down. yes! i escaped the bottom test. was so scared that he needs to examine if i have started dilation. but was told by experienced mothers that my stomach seems high so not so fast engagement and that my buttocks pretty big so maybe doc not so worried about the diameter thingy that's why didnt check. aniway, i was relieved that i dun have to do the check and that bb is growing well. =D
i am so much more 'swollen up' now. guess cassey is right on the water retention thingy for near delivery. even my fingers are swell up.
Mika Rei, full term is from week 37 onwards. check this out, http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-37-weeks_1126.bc?intcmp=timeline
talking abt full term. i am so excited. tml bb is full term alr! but gyne didnt mention anything abt bb's head engagement and delivery yet. he onli said "how? bb is alr 26wks half. are u prepared?"
