DolceVita: I am interested in the shots since this is my 2nd preg and I am unlikely to have #3. Close factory already. But the timings above are not good for me, since I still have a last week to work next week. Not sure if you are able to open up any more slots. Me in my 33 weeks now. It's ok if not possible.

cherrios: IC. Ya on the smaller side. My #1 is a boy and his birth weight is 2.97kg. I expect my girl to be smaller. But gynae seems to say the growth for my 2 babies appear to be similar. He said to wait 2 more weeks then see how.

cherrios: Matt was 10 days early, so about 38.5 weeks. Almost had to induce him cos he was losing weight the last week. But then, my contractions came before that. Gynae says 2nd one may be even earlier, ask me to watch out for preterm labour.
 
berry:
it was painful when she massage my leg.. cause she say alot of wind. but after the 2nd and 3rd massage im used to it liao. cause she say after preggy when she massage for me will be more pain den this lo.. :)
 
i had pinkish discharge this morning... got so alarmed. but gynae says monitor and if pain get more intense.. go hospital!
 
piggytoh,
Thanks for your advise!

dolliepollie,
I'm very afraid of pain leh...i'm worry that if it's too painful, i will not want to continue...
 
Berry,
post natal massage mus be hard 1 if not how to regulate ur blood circulation n slim down?

Jac,
ya i agree Rocher norm...
 
berry:
errrr..... u can tell her dun wan the intensive one lo. pain when massage cause she need to push the womb up after delivery... for the pre natal massage u can request if its too pain.. if not, i really dunno which kinda massage will not pain de... cause i ask for massage when im in pain. haha
 
piggytoh,
ok...i guess i have to try to tahan that
sad.gif


Btw, is it neccessary to buy nursing top? I haven't bought any...If yes, where to get nice and cheap ones. Don't feel like spending too much on it, just incase i don't breastfeed for a long period of time.
 
Berry,
nursin top is not necessary can jus lift up ur t-shirt n BF:p massage if dun use any force no pt leh...n dollie is rite the massage lday need to push our womb back n wrap tight tight to tighten our waist..
 
Pegsfur, I will go poo once a day but the tummyache is still there the whole day on and off. Hahaha...I really didn't eat alot at the buffet yesterday. My appetite not very good.

Piggytoh, dunno when leh. My gynae ask my hb to stop travelling already.

Cherrios, all these while my girl is on the smaller average side. So my gynae is already very happy that she is 2.5kg now.Anyway 100g not alot lah, its just an estimate anyway.
Yes yes...today cannot see my girl's face anymore already.
You also small built ah?

BabyS, when I stand up from the lying down position, my down there feels like someone has just given me a BIG punch. Its so damn pain that sometimes I will go 'Ah!!!' As its 2nd pregnancy, I can feel the baby's head has shifted lower.

donkeymami, yah...at week 34, my baby's head is low but haven't engage too. But now although engaged, gynae says won't come out so soon as when she was checking for dilation, she cannot feel baby's head yet.
 
Irene,
my aunt was tellin me last time her gynae also tell her not this wk not so soon etc ... end up at nite ont he same day her water bag burst.. so ask me to take note even thou the gynae say not this wk hahah... ya better ask ur Hb stop travellin liao jus in case:p
 
piggytoh,

at least now i'm mentally perpared for the pain. hehe..i guess i shouldn't complain about the massage pain. I'm sure the pain during labour is much worst than this :p
 
hi ladies,
i've accepted u in FB liao.

chintz,
yes, i know sze wei veri long ago. when i was still in sec sch. haha! u know her too?

piggy & jac,
u're tempting me wif the ice-cream.
 
Evening ladies,

for mummies who have signs, contractions etc, try to get more rest okie. may all of us have a smooth delivery
happy.gif
natural without epi. yeah!! :D

zen, sze wei is my ex-col
happy.gif
her boy same year as my girl. last time seated very near to each other, so always shared about pregnancy :D
 
belly binder
This is a must for c-section delivery right? Anyone know if TMC sell it? Incase I ended up emergency c-section.
 
Piggytoh, hahaha...I also have a friend who gave birth 2 days later after the gynae says not this week.

But my gynae keeps telling me to come hosp once my contraction is 5mins apart even if the pain is not very intensified. She says come to hosp when its a false alarm is better than giving birth at home. She says 2nd time mum always think won't be soon so always ended up coming to hosp late. My gynae already has 2 patients this year who gave birth at home!
 
Mashy, you didn't call your gynae to check ah? I am not sure about pink discharge but if its few drops of blood hor, pls go hosp immediately!
 
berry:
hey anyway if u intend to try my massage lady, u can tell her to be softer.. cause i remember her asking whether i wan relaxing or intensive massage.. but cause my whole body aching so i ask her to do intensive. :)
 
Berry, I am also those who request the massage to be intensive kind. That time I went for prenatal massage, I still ask the lady to use more force then she tell me now you preggie leh...cannot use more force everywhere, only certain areas.
 
mashy
$30+ quite ok then. I think there is one brand cost about $100+ and makes me think all tummy binder is so expensive haha

irene
what happened when they gave birth at home!?
 
Reira:
WAH!! S$100+!! i rather wear the griddle or the erm... attach with the bra type... but can i ask ar.... is it the same binder from the post natal type? Bengkung huh??
 
Reira, have to call ambulance to send them to hosp. But I dunno if the cord is cut or what...I didn't ask in details coz it sounds too scary!
 
pegsfur

My items were abt $36 after factoring in exchange rate & 20% discount. BUT.. the shipping came up to $44! Can u imagine??? Shipping more than the items lor.

I was quite angry leh. Coz like that, each item ard $20. The pt of getting from BBmall is coz it's cheaper mah. But the organiser said that BBmall packed into very huge boxes so the shipping ended up a lot. Sigh...

Btw who did u order from?
 
reira

Yeah I also bot this. But I bot 2 diff of the fitted crib ones too. U know, those that wrap ard the cot mattress? One of them got plastic pc at the bottom, the other is reversible, but feels like got plastic sheet in the centre. Very confused also. But nvm, just use & see how lah.

sharon

So cute! I am sooo envious that I missed the tabao sprees
sad.gif
 
Tdy I had my gynae appt. She said BB is turned down liao. The hard part I'm feeling on the left side is his spine. The poking/prodding/painful kicks at the top of my tummy or slightly to the right are his naughty little legs.

Gynae said I wun be popping so soon, but somehow I still dun dare to believe her. I think I'll only rest easy AFTER I complete my reno & finish setting up the room & washing all the clothes haha.
 
She said I put on 2.6kg in the past 4 weeks. But she said my previous 4 weeks only put on 1.x kg. I reminded her that I had to fast with no food no water for the GD test. So she said, ok lah, got excuse haha. Can average the weight gain over 8 weeks.

To date, put on 11kg liao. Since I've not been controlling my diet at all, & Babylet is at 1.9kg (medium weight), so she said nvm lah, just be careful. She said if I give birth at week
37/38, he'll be ard <3.5kg,>3.5kg liao haha.
 
Hi mummies,postnatal massage should not hard as during my postnatal sessions, my therapist told me. As she told me old people believed that after delivery our veins is still swollen. My sessions was very relaxing and I think it should be that way. Not painful at all. I really enjoy all my sessions with Mdm Suriyah the therapist that serve me. May visit their website malayheritagejamumassage.blogspot.com
 
Re: Hospital Bag

Hihi,
Long time never write in. Fighting H1N1 in my line. Finally taking a break with my new colleague taking over.

By the way, congrates to all those who have delivered! Sorry I'm not been able to catch up on post. Been down with flu and cough myself (but not H1N1, thankfully).

Need to know if anyone here has the list for packing of hospital bag. Though it's my no 2, I kind of forgotten what to pack.
 
Morning mommies~ woke up to eat breakfast :D back to sleep soon *feels like a piggy*

dolliepollie
I don't remember which brand is the tummy binder but seems that a lots of ang moh celeb using it. shizuka gal bought one from spree if i remember correctly.

jul
o_o whoa, you only bought that waterproof sheet and 2 other fitted crib sheet and the shipping cost $44!?!?!? Back in April, I bought a lots of stuffs from babymallonline myself (didn't join any spree). The parcel was 8.3kg and vPOST charged about $75 for shipping. For me, it was as if my shipping cost was almost free because of the 20% discount from babymallonline. I spent a total of US$147.71 ( US$182.65 before 20% discount).

Did the spree organizer use UPS as shipping? Cant be that expensive lor! Unless your items are like 4kg itself...

phy*o*
I think most of us donate the cordblood. But for me, I banked it.
 


tinkabel, but you going 37wks also right? then won't be preterm alrdy wad...

irene, ya, mine also small built

went for my gynea appt today, scheduled for induction on 23rd alrdy...less then 2wks!! will be 1 day short of 39wks by then... getting cold feet already, haven't get the cot and bedding ready! so now is either waiting for labour to happen or for 23rd to come, which ever is earlier...hehe...
