sbb, I also very flat aft wearing non padded nursing bra.
Kiki,
Thanks for helping to buy & bring the stuff back! Was showing them to my hubby just now. Hehe.. I think the cloth diapers quality are quite good. Hehe.. Quite happy with my purchase
I also went to see my gynae today. Had some sorta crampy feeling since yesterday. Went for a CTG and the results are ok. So he said nothing to worry about. Bb is now 2.07kg @ 32weeks+. Is that very heavy, cos I'm only 1.6m?
Think I gotta stop eating so much already. No durians for me too..
Baby Names (Chinese)
btw, how do you all choose Chinese names huh? I was @ GlenE, didn't get to see any counters to choose chinese names leh.. Not like TMC, which my friend told me about.

sbb, my gynae is Dr Joycelyn Wong. I didn't ask why cannot eat or drink but I guess they are worried I will puke due to the epidural mah.
I was so hungry and thirsty after the delivery ah!
Donkeymami, if gynae didn't say baby is engaged then cannot deliver yet.
Mashy, me...me... I can walk halfway then my right leg becomes weak and numb. Not needles and pins kind but no feeling and difficult to even lift up the leg to continue walking.

i really wonder if that master is really good or not and famous or not haha cos i cant find any online review about him. yeah true that he is really expensive! did the names given by the master from wayonnet good?
for coconut drinks, some said drink once or twice a month. for myself i drink 2 - 3 times a week. my mil said that drink so much will cause baby to have phlegm but i just heck care her. so far i've never found any site that says coconut will cause phlegm directly.
i also heard from a chinese sinseh that coconut water is cooling but the meat is heaty. so i guess eat both together will neutralize the effect? i think it is like how when we ate too much fried food and end up with sorethroat, have to drink liang2 cha2
anyway, i read that excess phlegm production can be cause by respiratory infection (cough, cold), inhalation of smoke. fat contents in dairy products like milk can thicken mucus that is already present. feel like asking her if it means that if baby have phlegm, then better dont drink milk?
mashy
i think my weak leg/hand is due to being in air-con room almost 16 hours everyday. recently, my cheek is very dry also (this is definately due to being in air-con room too long).
jul
yah the color is dark brown one. i feel like getting a smaller one for when i go out for 2-4 hours only. or maybe i should just use my current bag (but not waterproof). shang nao jing!
donkeymami
I think your gynae expect big baby too for you cos you are tall!! my boy is 2.39kg at week 34 day 4 and my gynae told me the same thing again T_T dont eat too much durian ect ect. haiz haha gynae visit to me is a bit sian now cos it is always the same everytime (which is good lah). she estimated that he will be around 3.2kg.
yesterday was so funny, i dreamt of goodwood park hotel durian buffet at TMC lol
sbb
yeah! this thursday will be 5 weeks left till week 40. i hope my boy will come out at week 39 day 3 - 4 (aug 1/2!). time flies!! some of us going to pop in 3 weeks le!!!
i think that my boobs size is the same too and also i bought one cup size bigger. it is fitting, cover my whole boobs (so weird) and got space to put nursing pad

Weishy,
Yes yes, we can arrange for 1 in July, provided most of us havent popped. Hee.. How about another buffet? Then can sit & chat? Any other suggestions? ;P
Oh yes, nearly forgotten. There's a roadshow by Parkway hospital in Parkway Parade. There's a promo going on for GlenE & Mt E for the 1-bedder maternity package . There's a free hearing test or free lodging for daddy. Plus perks of up to $1k apparently. Then there's also a free upgrade from a 4-bedder maternity package to a 1-bedder for East Shore. The roadshow ends this Sunday and only for 1st 50 who sign up per hospital (ie 150 in total for all 3 hospitals). Those who're interested can go check it out ;P

good morning gals
just an update
we had a second opinion yesterday and the results were so much more optimistic than the prognosis we had from KKH.
pink,
thks for your recommendation for Prof Ananda, we manage to get some hrs of homeleave yesterday and had a long 3 hr plus consult & scans with the prof.
He's a very interesting guy who has such an awesome bank of forward unconventional knowledge, and most importantly he's willing to share and explain his knowledge in layman terms that even myself & hubby could understand. It's a far cry from the other gynaes we have encountered so far.
on a lighter note, zachary is now 2166gm at 32+2 days, above average for his gestational age and he doesn't have any strutural heart defects which can cause the erratic heartbeat.
prof was so optimistic that his heart can take the stress, so much so that he said we can attempt for natural labour in breech position if we can find a gynae who's technically able to do it.
hubby is not keen on adding further stress to his boy but i'm keeping my options open, does anyone knows of any gynae who's experienced in delivering breech babies via natural?

haha, maybe really too liang. Been drinking coconut, water chestnut etc. But i'm heaty based so didn't think it would affect me. Guess i've to cut down on these stuff and just give my boy. My boy had been taking too much beef and his body heat is turning up.
gals
so glad i'm not the only one with weak knees. Sorry, but makes me feel that hey, i'm not alone.
Oh, any photos of the gathering to see?????
babymaking
Glad to know that the 2nd opinion is more optimistic. But i feel that if it's going to be stressful for your bb's heart, it's better to just go for c-section, esp if it's breech. Safety is more important. My friend's bb came out with heart prob (the blood flow in oppo direction at the heart or something) and had to go for op. It wasn't detected in the scans. So better play safe. Certain conditions can't be picked out at scans. She's fine and growing well now though.

Morning ladies
Looks like the mummies had fun at buffet yesterday huh ... it must have quite a sight, a table full of ladies with big bumps
Too bad i cldn't join ... hope there's another one coming along
babymaking
I remembered during our childbirth class, WBB mentioned that the only gynae who can deliver a breeched bb has retired le ...
I agree with mashy, that it is still better to go for c-sect ... i think bb's safety is more important

morning all!
went for my scan yesterday and found out that bb isnt growing v well
at 34wks, he is abt 2.2kg which is still acceptable wt, but wt gain over the last 3 wks was a miniscule 300gm while i gained a total of 1.5kg. the tummy circumference also only 25th percentile this time, last time was always on 50th percentile. i also have borderline low fluid level. gyne wants me to rest till i pop liao..so on HL till i deliver. Now trying to make myself eat more to help bb grow bigger.. sigh.. so worrying.
celine, i know what u must be going thru.. we are in the same situation! try to drink more water.. it does help in bringing up fluid levels. i also had low water level in 1st pregnancy - returned to normal after i kept drinking lots of water/fluids.
gathering - yes yes pls share pics! was not able to join in yesterday cos had back pain/leg pain/etc.. hope can join in the next gathering!
babymaking, that's really gd news! bb also v v gd weight.. i think v few gynes do breech delivery nowadays leh. also depends on what kinda breech position ur bb is in.. also might not be suitable for NVD if the legs arent in correct position.

irene, ya his wt average now, but gyne a bit concerned cos wt gain has slowed down. shld be abt 200gm a wk - hence 3 wks shld put on abt 500-600gm. scan also showed that there was increased resistance in the umbilical artery - ie blood flow to bb is not v gd.. and this is the likely reason why he is not gaining wt like he shld be.
ya lor.. trying not to worry and rest at home.. guess past few wks keep worrying abt sleeping arrangements for #1 and 2, and wondering how to cope with 2..
a bit down cos of this.

piggytoh, i think slowing down of wt gain is later in the pregnancy.. eg wk 37 onwards. but now still shld be still gaining v fast lor. more worried cos of the abnormal bld flow lor.
mashy, i just ate an egg sandwich and a glass of milk liao! usually will just drink milo and eat bread with peanut butter.. will try to eat durian as well lor.

Jules, I see...then must listen to gynae and rest well.
I also had the same headache about the sleeping arrangments for no.1 and 2.
Have decided to let no.1 to continue sleeping with us in his cot while no.2 will sleep with the CL in the other bedroom for the 1st month. Will decide how to settle again later on after CL leaves. Most probably I will go over to the other room and sleep with no.2 since I want to latch.

Morning ladies!
So glad that I'm on mc today and can work from home! Less disturbances from colleagues and can finally concentrate on doing my own stuff.
babymaking
Glad to hear that there's some +ve feedback. Probably can consider csection ba, safer for the both of you? Take good care
