ooh horror maid experiences, I'm glad my new helper is so far ok. the only thing is don't know how she will be with kids as she has very little *to me - no* prior experience with small babies.
anyone knows where we can send FDW to baby care/parent craft type of course? where they learn how to bathe/feed/change/look after babies type?
re: bb movement & tightenings.
Had a scare yesterday when we could not dedect bb movements for more than 6 hours. previously he was super active, moving all the time, then suddenly silence for 6 hrs.
In the end, we went to KKH, was sent to the delivery suite and kept under observation for an hour, put on CTG, did scan and doppler and manage to trace bb's heartbeat. however they wanted to admit us for further observation and to do a growth scan the next day, but we didn't want to - as basically it's periodic checks (not continual CTG)thru out the night and then just wait for the growth scan as they cld not fit an appt immediately. furthermore hubby cldn't stay overnight with me, so we decided to go home. and guess what, while waiting to be discharged, bb decide to kick a bit to re assure us.
This morning, we went to see our regular gyane for the growth scan and subsequently had tightenings while waiting for him - 4 times within 1 hr..thru out the day. Was given ventolin to prevent contractions and told to monitor bb's movements. if movements below 10 times within a 12 hr time frame, or bb has been active but suddenly stop moving, to go see him immediately. In his words, it's better to be assured than be kept wondering.
the growth scan is normal - bb is heavy at 748g at week 24 d2. everything looks normal for the moment. **phew**
