Congrats to Ling & qi7!
Comfort,
wow ur hubby very good leh! call woody to question him!! well done!!
agree with u that if he doesnt want to deliver in MT A then he should informed any new patients with him that he is not going MT A anymore. but he still need to deliver whoever that was with him previously to have that option rite?
Jam75,
ya loh... i will just go straight to MT A & tell woody that i m heading there & up to him whether he is coming along or not?... i tot of checking out who will be the stand-in gynae first to estimate the cost also...
capriho88,
u r rite that stand-in gynae won't be that bad but just worry that he/she will ask me go straight to c-sect even b4 checking if i can try natural wor cos my #1 is c-sect case....
Shelisa,
i think i tried to avoid seafod cos i tot is food allergy but honestly dont think so leh... cos i scratch my legs until bleeding everywhere, not to mentioned it's very ugly. so i tell my church frens pls pray for me every wk when i see them cos i really got no clue nor miracle cream liao. thank god that it got clears up and very minimum scar but left with hairy legs due to those tonnes of steriod creams that i applied...
i know it's quite pek chey to see the rash and try not to scratch. just hang in & i pray that ur rash will clear on its own.

shelisa- oic.. guess i wait for the result ..nurse didnt call yet.. so praying hard it nothing serious
Superbee, im trying hard. What im afraid most is during confinement it will be damn itchy. Plus i read from other forum, if after give birth, if i wanna steriod jab, i cannot breast feed for certain time. I don't wish to be like this.
Annie, ya. Ahnetsan is right. My gynae didn't mention abt inserting pill wor. Only say when deliver that time need to put on drip.

shelisa, how about u shower with the hospigel, but can try to use the Ego QV moisturiser? Or ask the clinic if the hospigel series got moisturiser or not? If have, they can sell to you also... I used to have a customer who had bad eczema all over her body, she uses Ego QV cos she said it's the only thing that works for her, skin less dry so less itchy. Eczema got some similarities with PUPPP rashes, so maybe worth a thought... But of course, different ppl will hv different reaction lor. But I think it's best you don't anyhow buy those normal body moisturiser brands like Nivea or Jergens etc, cos these all contain fragrance, and who knows if at this point, fragrance may make things worse.
Congrats, Ling and Qi7.
Glad to hear that Qi7's bb is alright.
It's really getting exciting to hear one mommy after another popping. While I m looking fwd to see my BB sooner, I M SO NOT READY... when I can't finish and hand over my work. Everyday, keep telling BB to take his time cos mummy still need to work.
Shelisa, I don't have rashes like yours but the itchiness is enough to kill me. I can totally relate to that "heavenly" feeling when we scratch. Have already left a mark on my tummy last week when I scratched till the skin broke. Sighz. Sometimes, I wonder if my boi can hear the scratching sound when I scratch my tummy. Will feel so guilty thereafter... but have tolerate till delivery. The itch and rashes will go away after that. I take regular cold showers when I am at home n before bedtime to cool the skin down so that the itch is minimal... n I could fall asleep easier. Maybe u can try n see if this works for u?
My gf has PUPP during her pregnancy. She tried two creams from her gynae but none works. She said that it's all due to hormones and there is nothing one can do, except to tolerate till BB pops out. It's the moment where she couldn't help but wish she could deliver asap then. So do hang in there. It will soon be over.

Shelisa, came across this, not sure if you're bothered to try to order from overseas, or if it really works...
http://www.rainiersoapworks.com/puppp_relief.htm
I was also gonna suggest ice packs, like what bbjun said. I know your rashes are spread over a wide area, so maybe it's not practical to buy 20 ice packs or whatever, but having a couple of them on hand to use on the itchiest parts may help.

bbjun: Beware when you are using cold pack on your tummy, cos one method to get baby to turn to head down position is to put cold pack on top of tummy, baby dun like cold and will move down. So try not to put it below your tummy... wonder if baby will do the reversal and turn up
TubbyMummy: Hang on and rest! Sound serious that just walking a bit you are tired all over. Sometimes also found that when I'm in office, I sit too long, cos when I get up, I feel back aching from remaining too long in the same position. That's when I walk like a robot.

dolly, thanks for the caution. I try not to use it as much as possible becos I was afraid of what u just said. Actually I use it more for the bottom half of my tummy. n usually keep it at cool temp rather than ice cold (even though it's really shiok to use ice cold pack)
Shelisa, I was applying this lotion that my gynae gave me. But it usually last only 30mins or so. Think it's called Sarna or something like that. I need to go home n have a look at it. It contains menthol.. which is cooling. Provides instant relief for that 15-30mins but does not help to cure the itch.

Shelisa, there's this BP always going on for Egyptian cream, apparently is a miracle cure for many skin problems. you can check it out or Google it.
you sure it's not ringworm right? i think not. but i had a ringworm infection before and it spread to whole body. was itchy all the time and i had to use Daktarin cream (but this is only for fungal infection) and cannot share towel, cannot be wet (keep dry because the bubbles contain water which can spread the infection), cannot eat chicken and egg (yah like chicken pox) and i used daktarin powder also. took me about a week to clear up but cos i took precautions. otherwise it will continue to spread.
not sure if any of above helps? do you notice bubbles which when you pierce got clear water come out?

Mount A : yay! i think i will also head to Mount A for my delivery.Oh, I wonder how much the stand in gynae will charge too...
Nursing Clothes : Can I ask the mummies here if you have a good nursing bra, you dont really have to spend money to get nursing tops / dresses, right?

as for hacking the coconut, i just came back from plaza sing carrefour.. they sell lots of huskless coconut, i.e those husk already removed one.. they sold them with one straw attached.. think there is a soft covering on each coconut just need to poke the straw in can drink already.. each one cost 1.40.. if u buy from plaza sing, it is beside the durian stall..

dolly, yup, I got that call from the Friso lady last week as well.
Have been reading the discussion on Woody and MAH issue. Really, I find him unprof to just "force" MTBs to go TMC when he has given them the choice to go MAH. Mummies who have chosen MAH over TMC, just go ahead and I am sure he will be there unless he can come up with some crappy excuse of not turning up at the hospital. Seriously, he should not list MAH as one of his delivery hospitals if he doesn't want to deliver there. It's not fair to mislead MTBs to choosing him when MAH was part of the reason why. I chose my gynae knowing very well she only delivers at TMC even though hb n I did consider MAH as our delivery hospital at the initial stage.

LFB, morning to you too! at first i read you said: how much time I have till I pop today -- and i thought WOW! you're popping today?? but i think you meant you'll ask the OB today right?
i don't have difficulty falling asleep but must say that my usual sleeping positions are not so comfy anymore. definitely cannot sleep on the back and when i sleep on the sides, either it causes pins and needles on the shoulders or pain on the leg (as if i put a lot of load on it).
im in week 35, so 5 more weeks of this and i'll have a different set of sleeping problems to deal with after that. of sleepless nights and cannot roll too much on bed cos baby sleeping with us. hehe

hi everyone
i am a silent reader of this thread since i preg
currently in my 37th wk with no. 2
hi 11_beans, ahnetsan, annie
i was reading the message abt vaginal infection. i was tested with gbs too, even after 1st round of antibiotics. i believe the other infection which requires u to insert a pill in your v is yeast infection, which is quite common and less serious. for gbs (abbrev for strep b), i googled and was a bit worried abt the effects on the bb if the infection is not clear during delivery. was told by gynae that will be put on antibiotics drip as well during delivery, but this takes a while to take effect. will ask and share more abt this during my visit this evening.

caramelle, jam75,
My panty just beoome WET and kana soak through. The smell is also differnt from normal discharge. I monitor it for 1 day n suspect its water bag leak. Gynae did a test and confirm.
According to gyane, sometime the tear just happen. Its not something we can control.
