seeing the mummies starting to pop 1 by 1 made me really nervous.. when will be my turn~~!
 
Hi all,
Goodmorning..it's Friday! yeah~~~


Celine: Congrats on your new-born. you looked like 'Apple Hong' in your wedding photo. very pretty...
 
Mummies with 2 kids and more!
Pls share your labour experiences of #1 and #2. Are they both similar experiences? If #1 baby come out early, did your #2 come out early as well? What about the total hour of labour? Confirmed shorter too?

I'm planning when's best to start my maternity leave
happy.gif
 
cherrios,
ya i will. its jus a short trip for makan session.. u take care k!

kiki,
wah.. i think i still early bah.. but if really happen, i think my friends will faint
 
mashy, i'm sure hayley will switch her day and nights around soon, hang in there!

chintz, both my #1 and #2 took 12 hours. I was hoping #2 was shorter, but it didn't happen *disappointed* As I was dilating too slowly for #1, the gynae gave me some inducing drugs and the pain level was actually more than #2 where I didn't use any drugs. But for some of my friends, #2 was much faster, so I suppose it all depends on individual.

cherrios, wishing u a smooth delivery!
 
haha..i hope i wil have more signs when i go into real labour...cos i only felt breathless when the machine detected contractions! No pain at tummy,only pain at the chest area cos findin hard to breath..does it mean mayb i can use laughing gas instead of epi? Haha..but i m afraid of the tearing pain...

Hmmm...i m tryin to slp every moment i could now...afraid when bb out i will lose my precious slp...haha...now like waiting game eh...dunoe if i wil pop before i m being induced next wk ma....
 
wah! All the talk on bubble tea makes me wana drink too! Here bubble tea very ex eh! Haha...if sat haven pop i wil ask hubby to buy for me! Haha..actually i hav alot of things to do this wkend eh...we haven even get the cot ready! Haha....wonder when my gal wil decide to come out...hmmm...
 
Btw, for mummies who duuno how to swallow medicine (e.g. ME), i heard from my frenz who delivered in TMC, can inform the nurse in advance, so that she will pound the medicine (or watever pills) into powder form.
 
cherrios, can make ur own bubble tea there? Last time when I was studying in the US, my Taiwanese friends showed me those bubbles before, she says its called tadpole eggs which can be bought at the Asian supermarkets.
 
mich, ya..got wives make before...haha...but i lazy eh... =p sg everything can buy..here wana eat anything muz ownself make..very mafan...

Morning
happy.gif


I'm back to work today .. finally no more cramps/contraction, but my tummy kept hardening on and off.

Hey, why u all so crazy abt bubble tea? I never liked it cos it's VERY sweet. But the other day i went to the Taiwan Cha Can Ting at Citylink mall and ordered the mango bubble tea, ooohh ... liked it very much
happy.gif


kiki
Hahaha ... yr dream abt your dog's tail falling off is very funny
happy.gif


I woke up at 3+ to pee and heard some dogs barking, so i looked out of the window to k-poh ... saw a pack of dogs lying on the big field opp my blk ... a few of them were playing ... so cute leh.
 
morning mummies..

gosh feeling terrible this morning, tummy aching all over last night! i couldnt even lie 45 degree angle, cos feels like tummy is pulling down towards side... in general just feel so uncomfy..

mashy: if i am not wrong, 8 is not bad..

jul: haiyo.. ur boss so bad.. i got a clerk who's like that too. pple come look for me, she dunno how to ask them what they want first. In the end, make me go down, then realise its something she or my other colleagues can do, not me... sigh... thats why i am so glad to be working form home too, no need to suffer her nonsense..
 
mich thanks for sharing!

My gal was 9 days earlier than EDD last time. Labour around 4 hours. I want to rest at home and prepare for bb's birth this time. But not sure when? anybody care to advise me? hehe Thanks all!

cherrios, just got to know u are based in US.
happy.gif


re: laughing gas,
i like the effect of it leh.. really can get 'sheh' for a while hehe.. but after that the nurse changed it to oxygen without me knowing it. only after delivery she told me that, she said cos if too high, can't control the pushing!
 
Good morning.

Reira, nope...the nurses call ah wong at 7am to tell her I am fully dilated so ah wong ask them to let me try pushing. I think she knows I am 1st timer and my boy still not that low so will take alot of time. So she only came in at 8am when I am about to die of exhaustion! When I see her, I thought I saw Angel...my life saver!
 
cherrios, ya man, when living abroad, cannot find anything local, so all cravings have to be satisfied by cooking. That's how I even figured out how to cook cos I kept eating sandwiches and I can't stand it!!!

pegsfur, glad to hear that things are better!

chintz, i usually take ML 2 weeks before EDD cos my girls came out around week 39. So have 1 week to rest.
 
cloudme

thanks!
happy.gif
I'm pretty happy abt it too. Just now pumped 60ml.
happy.gif
Yeh! My gal drank only 50ml EBM just now, so i guess 60ml is good for now.

Mich
I really hope so... In the day also can't sleep much coz too many distractions for me and just plain hot.

Jul
yah, she's been cooking for me and helping me with whatever stuff. I'm very chin chai one lah. Main thing must be able to cook and help me take care of bb. The rest if she do is a bonus to me.

Celine
totally agree with the other gals that your boy doesn't look premmie at all. Looks handsome
happy.gif
 
mich,
Tks! Speaking of ML, the last 3 days spent at home has made me wished to go for my ML soon ... 2 more weeks to go!

regg,
Gd morning!
 
Reg visitors at TMC, somehow pp can sneak in.

There's instances that my neighbours had groups of visitors! We managed to sneak in my dad by getting my mom to go down with my hb's pass to fetch him.
 
pegsfur, yes, it is so much better to be at home this last stage!! I also have no more mood to work already
sad.gif
everyday I look at the calendar and wish time will pass faster.
 
pegsfur, Taiwan Cha Can Ting the bubble tea also nice!! *drools*

babys, nw beta le ma? talking about uncomfy...i was feeling pukish one morning too, with cramps and all, but gd thing it didn't last very long...

chintz, your labour very short!! only 4hours? oh my..i wish mine is so short too....

mich, i still love subways and fast food though..hehehe...but quite scared of western food... here the food so saltish!! like salt is free...hehee...
 
mich

can only say that my gal has been a good sucker. She doesn't latch long. But when she latches for that 15-25mins, she will really suck. So guess also good for me that she's not using me as a pacifier. She pops out after she finishes and will only feed on 1 breast each time. Refuses to let me change breasts even in the hospital.
 
cherrios, I also love subway too, especially their meatball sub. I was so thrilled when subway finally came to Spore! My all time favourite fast food is Wendys. They used to have these 99cents quarter pounders (dun know if its still 99cents) which is super value for money, esp during students days when super poor. Yah the food there damn salty indeed, think salt really free!
 
mich,
So when r u starting yr ML?

mashy,
U nvr called for the nurses to 'bao-toh' on your neighbours for having so many visitors?
happy.gif


cherrios,
Oh ... u've tried the bubble tea at Taiwan Cha can ting as well? I din try the other flavours cos i never really liked bubble tea. I just ordered the mango flavoured de cos it sounds healthier since it's fruit ... hahaaa . self deception
happy.gif


Hey, i love subways too!
 
mashy, don't have any cases at all, really thank God! I think the girl with HFM really only got insect bites ha ha. How is C taking to mei mei?

Think usually 1 side is enough for bb at this stage
happy.gif
The LC told me that when I went to see her the last time.
 
Hey Mich n Pegsfur,
yesterday was not too gd for me, BP shoot up to 144/95 and my feet swell till i cant walk.. really!hope today is a better day for me.

Hey Mashy!
Say Hi to ur bb gal for me
happy.gif


Pink,
uhu~
 
cherrios: no leh, in fact the cramping sensation is stronger today! feels like got very bad stmach ache, diarrhoea kind... but irritating thing is, when i go toilet, nothing..
 
Pink,
ok me too, tis is my 2nd week MC already.

hi everyone,
i have a question to ask, hm.. let say u need to hand sew a bag, the inner cloth is blue and the outter is beige, what colour thread will u use? haha...
 
pegsfur

no lah. i already bao chou on them by feeding my gal late at night. hahaa.

Mich
that's great news! C is a bit wary of mei mei but still ok. He'll tell her not to cry and laughs when she hiccups. But other than that, he doesn't spend much time with her.

FOr the 1st few days, supposed to switch to stimulate the breasts to make the milk come mah. But it came anyway on the 3rd day. SO i guess it's alright. Just that my right breast kept feeling very full and swollen.
sad.gif
Only the pumping really helped give it much relief. I guess she didn't finish her milk when she latches onto the right breast.
 
mashy, congrats! you have very gd milk supply! envy envy...

mich, not only wendy's have 99cents stuff, even BK, Mac, Taco bells and most fast food chains all have...hehehe...i m hooked to Mac's double cheeseburger and Bk's Whopper Jr these days! Only 99cents..cheap cheap! lol.... ya, thats y usually i avoid eating out if can, if not very harmful with the high salt content eh!

pegsfur, yes yes! used to hang out at cha chang ting with gfs cos we love the food and drinks there...hehee...but sometimes the food come cold cold wan.....

subway is a healthy and yummy choice! hehehe.... last time in sg when i work night shift, don't have time for lunch always tabao subway on the way to office one...but seems like in the states its not as popular as in sg with all the long Qs at the raffles outlet... here the outlet nobody one..hehehe...
 
pegsfur, wow, only next year! That's good so you can spend more time with Ovann
happy.gif


mashy, yah that was my concern too, so I try to switch breasts to feed on alternate feeds or pump the "undrunk" breast a little just to signal to it to produce milk.
 

cherrios, wow, even now so many years later still have the 99cents deal
happy.gif
so totally worth it!! I love taco bell also. Think they don't have taco bell in spore anymore.

think there's so many subway outlets that's why no queue?
