piggy, cos my EDD is 2nd Aug so i plan my leave 1wk b4 my EDD loh..if not i labour in ofc then jialat...but then nxt wk i nit to be careful also cos it's 38wks for me...
pegsfur
yep, still having contractions, in fact was warded on tue night after the daily CTG monitoring for 1 night, discharged yesterday. seems like the adalat tabs less effective now cos been taking so much of it.
how many weeks are you now? maybe you shd get it checked out by yr gynae and check out your AFI as well, cos contractions can be caused by lowered amioninic fluid levels - which is what happend to me.
jul
great, thks for the link. Will check it out. think their products better than the ones on the BP. at least it contains more natural herbal remedies.
piggy
yeah i also worried abt wind/gas trapped in the abdomen area - esp after C sect, cos it's major abdominal surgery...the last time had surgery for ectopic, the gas retention was horrid.
pink,
i can't rembember if i asked you before - but do you plan to do autologous blood transfusion..in case something do go wrong?

I was on MC for the last 2 days. Suppose to go back to work 2day, but i'm still feeling the pain so i took another day of leave to stay at home.
bear
I'm sort of confused now whether it's gastric pain or contraction pain leh ..... cos when i saw ah wong the day before, they strapped me to ctg and it only picked up very mild contraction, although the pain was intense. But when ah wong checked my tummy, she said she can feel the contraction, dat's why asked me to take the anti contraction pill. Maybe i'll give her a call later and see how.

what kind of forms do we need to fill in!? I dont have any form at all leh!! well maternity leave one i dont need cos not working. hahaha your hubby thinks if he told baby to come out on national day, then baby really will ah? my hubby today add oil to fire lor... if i end up in hospital today or tomorrow, must be because of his "induction". but i think i am prepared (baby stuffs), so i am quite ready lah. hubby is also ready and he got nothing to prepare.
i always wake up with bladder very painful at 5am... then went to empty bladder but sometimes only a little bit of urine. so weird.

So if no one called me, means my BB dun have this 6 mths insurance liao? Aiyoh.. so mafun.

I'm taking iron tablets but it's called "ironyl". Gynae said it's ;ess heaty & constipating then the other brand, not sure if that's the one u're taking?
I think we only need to take iron if gynae prescribes. Me got low iron, so need to take.
irene
Is it? Nothing special abt the wash & shampoo ah? Actually I'm more interestd in the shampoo. Coz body got confineemnt lady to do herbs. But shampoo, if only use the herb water, like very oily & gross leh.

U're welcome
I find that the pdts on the BP (altho cheap & large bot), but look very "China" made. Dunno safe or not, so dun dare to try.

Ya, was strapped to ctg when i saw the gynae 2 days ago but it only picked up very mild contractions.
Mmm .. my amniotic fluid level is ok, in fact it was plentiful as told by my gynae. Think i'll finish the pills and gastric medicine for today and monitor how, since i'm not bleeding or leaking amniotic fluid.

I oso bought avent bb bodywash.

re: baby wash

re: herbs for bathing
so far i onli bought 6 pkts frm hock hwa. read frm the thread tat it smells like grass jelly so i guess shd be fine. i hv another pkt (diff brand) which was left-over frm my sil. heard tat one hv sour smell. so not sure if i going to try tat. i may ask my mum to get lemon grass for me if all the herbs smell terrible.

hmm seems most buy Avent or Mustela, i was looking at them at the shop at KKH yesterday - but the sales gal told me, none is non rinse - i got confused..so didn't buy any. can anyone tell me so which ones (brand/packaging/price) did you gals buy?
think i will get either avent or mustela when i go down KKH later..cos i also heard that J & J cause allergies.
piggy
do you know the ratio of ginger/lemongrass to amount of water required..in order for it to be effective?..me very blur abt these "traditional practices".

the lemongrass is for bathing arr? how about normal wipes or clean-up??
i got one mummy telling me that her CL used cool-ed boiled down ginger water for her to wipe her down below everytime she urinate... coz got lochia.. (so that it's cleaner... especially if u got normal delivery)
and yes, what's the proportion of lemongrass to water?

smurfy,
for below, i'm just going to use warm water frm the shower head to rinse. think i'm also using the herbs for the first wk. after tat dun care so much liao. so troublesome. hv to boil this & tat. though i'm not the one doing it.
i really wonder if all these old wives' tales are true. i think it's becos olden days no water heater tats y ppl boiled water to bathe.

eh piggy, i dun think 1 stalk enuff for water to be potent and effective.
i read in somewhere, to use "a bunch and crush the bottom part of the stems, before throwing into pot to boil for 2 hours" but it didn't state "a bunch is how much" and "how much water to use"

panties
i got those watson ones (biggest L size!), it is just fitting and i hope got space to put the maternity pad haha. if ended up c-sect, must go and buy the netting panties for $4 each from TMC pharmacy!
babymaking
really hope that you have a safe and smooth c-section next friday. aiyo, when u said "to save baby if it comes between a choice of mum or baby life", makes me feels so heartache! especially you went through so much for this baby! i am sure both you will be safe!!
you are really brave to be thinking of having next one!! recently i kept telling baby dont want #2 even tho my pregnancy is so smooth but still got some pain here and there for recent weeks.
for brazillian wax, actually i suggest just shave yourself before you go to hospital. use mirror? cos when u do brazillian wax, it might take an hour + have to lie down facing up and keep to the position unless u are very skilled side way also can wax.
zen
=( bubble tea... last week i drank 2 cups (large koi ones) and feel so guilty. first time my gynae use a slightly more serious tone to tell me really cannot eat too much snacks, sweet, carbo. i am just going to tolerate for another few more weeks until Zachary is born so that he wont be too big. but today went to buy marigold ice-cream... told hubby i've been thinking of it since yesterday cos I saw FIL eat that for the last couple of days!! lol hopefully i wont go and finish up all 4 cones.
The lady's home you went at CCK must be LYNN right!? why is it that you stop going to her? lol i still got 1 more session left with her since last year aug... bought her package 3 sessions for $99. haha. she got sms me ask how come i didnt go for brazillian wax for so long... but i am very uncomfortable with doing brazillian wax with big tummy leh... usually the session will last 1 hrs but i really like her! then since i havent done brazillian wax for so long liao, will be as painful as first time... and must help push the skin up also, i test myself and feel so uncomfortable! cant imagine have to do that for an hr.
irene
really good that ah wong's clinic will sms us to come for appointment!!! they are so "xi4 xin1" know that most preggie women tends to forgot this and that!

Btw, for the cpf claim for antenatal package, do we only need to bring the receipt which states the antenatal package? Cos i only signed up my package when i was 5mths ... those before were charged by each visit. Do i have to bring those receipts as well?

oh, since u hv maid & CL to help then it's ok.
my mum will be the one helping me wif confinement so i dun really wan to trouble her so much. and personally i dun believe in all these. i'm a bad example so dun follow me. haha!
i hv a fren who's in her 50s. she told me during her 2 confinement, she still bathed & touched water as per normal but till now she dun hv any ache. but she did say must use hot or warm water not cold water. so i guess, as long as we keep ourselves warm & not catch a chill, then it's fine. but then again, different ppl different body.

Haha okie, if I rem. Like got so many things to do..
babymaking
I think none are really non-rinse. But if we drop a few drops into the tubful of water, there's no need to rinse, coz it's very diluted liao. At least that's what antenatal class taught lah.
Sterilising only lasts for 24h. If u're worried, u can sterlilise every 24h lor. It's troublesome, but at least u're not unprepared. Alternatively, how abt bring to hosp & ask them to sterilise for u?

the lady who did for me at cck is called vivian. she hv her own shop (1 small facial room) at centrepoint but i go to her pl since it's nearer for me unless i wan to go down town. i stopped going there cos i signed up a pkg wif strip as i find them more hygenic & professional though more EX. all these years, my BW onli lasts for half an hour max leh. so i still go for waxing even when i pregnant.
