somehow i think h1n1 will just get more and more serious. been almost 2 months since SG got the first confirmed case and more and more confirmed cases seens in Sg. from this page http://www.moh.gov.sg/mohcorp/pressreleases.aspx , it says confirmed cases is 1k + leh. @_@ but it is so outdated, only update till 6th july.

i wonder since mucus plug prevents bacteria from entering uterus... if lost it, then wouldnt baby be expose to bacteria!??! omg...

cherrios
oh wow thats good that they dont practice shavings there. wondering why do we even need to shave?? will be so itchy with the regrowth
__________________

i am still worried i miss out my mucus plug in shower or flush it away after i wee wee then never see. lol my hubby also "gao3 xiao4"... ask dr what if i sleep and didnt know i have contraction or didnt know waterbag broke then only wake up hours later to realise bed wet wet. aiyo! makes me even more kan cheong.
 
Reira,
dun worry cos usu mucus plug is out we will go into labour in 1-2 day time but so far all my friend once they have mucus plug they will admit hosp within 12hrs so shd be ok bah...
 
reira, mine still touchin...but the area nw is lesser...if u understand wad i mean...very hard to describe..hehee...ya lo!! so happy that dun need to shave..hehee..later alrdy pain le still hav to deal with the regrowth... dun worry so much la...i dun think you will miss out real contractions one ba?

8 signs of labour - http://community.babycenter.com/talk/a8436805/8_signs_labor_is_near?intcmp=Rel_SP_post&pn=Article%20page

my body is very blur/insensitive leh. till now i still dont really know when i get braxton-hicks contractions. i think i might die if i suddenly gets contractions out of the blue without experiencing all these preparation "pain"

for me 1,2 (always), 3 (on the left only when i sit/stand/walk for too long),6. 4/8!

er i just notice it is for african-american leh! same as asian mah?

piggytoh
do you know if mucus plug will come out a little or little or just one lump come and go? o_o
 
cherrios
i wonder if i can just use scissors and trim the pubic hair myself... then the growth wont be that bad lor. wondering if nurse will go and shave them if she see still got some hair mah?

i totally understand what you mean by area is lesser.

for the mucus plug, i look at the pics for countless of times le haha.

piggy
do you plan to get Pee-pee Teepee?
 
i gone to wash my clothes n there are so mani post already..

Dolce, yes yes, i PM u.. was trying to catch u on msn but din c you.. perhaps u can provide me w more details of the photoshoot then i arrange the others w u..

Reira, all the best in educating ur boy.. i do hope my girl will learn the gd things from me.. my hubby kinda think i am the maid in the hse..

Cherrios, jia u and all the best to ur delivery.. mentioning abt pain in the pelvic bone, i experience it too, but is usually on and off.

Re: Elephant feet
how many mummies have feet that are swollen??
 
reira, i got trim eh...but that was weeks ago, nw cun c anymore le...hehee.. i dun like the boobs touch tummy feel, the area below the boobs very hot...hehee...my mucus plug looks diff frm those pics though...mine like menses so bloody wan...
 
lawshe
huh... how come your hubby thinks u are the maid in the house? u work? i dont mind doing housework, washing his clothes now since i am not working. when i was working, his clothes will be washed by himself. else he will not have clothes to wear and i wont be bothered about it. lol whereas when live with mil, if he sees my hubby got a lots of clothes not washed, she will kaypoh go and wash. thus helps my hubby to get lazier and lazier.

Re:elephant feet
since wednesday, i notice my slipper is so tight. luckily it is one of those with adjustable strap.
 
Reira,
my friends told me the muscus plug is 1 whole pcs 1 n usu will come out with blood alsoo so i tink hard to miss?

Cherrios,
but u alr 3cm dilated n if u only feel intense contraction den u go hosp by then u might be 5-6cm liao by the time u wan epid maybe too late woor but depend la cos somepp early contraction cant feel anything 1..
 
Reira,
actually hor i got 1 friend she opt for induce for both her kid when baby engage n cervix open so she will not miss the signs:p n for her #2 she manage to deliver w/o epi so hor i dun tink induce will be more painful.. oh dun tink i will buy the peepee teepee:p
 
Reira, we are in the same situation. my MIL will wash clothings for hubby once she sees lots of them not touch.. then she complain to hubby n on the other hand, say i lazi.. hubby get spoil n become lazier.. hahaa...

Dolce, left u a msg on msn, i m heading out soon.. anything call me yeah....
 
piggy, ya lo...but hor...i now feel alright eh...no cramps or contractions and bb stil moving actively inside...lol...i think i preparing for bed soon le...hehe...no point later go hospital then they sent me home eh...this afternoon they monitor me dun hav regular contractions...ur frenz bloody show only deliver alrdy ah?
 
piggytoh
what will u do to prevent baby from wee wee on your face? normal method like just put hankerchief ect ah?

lawshe
yah lor totally! MIL kaypoh herself one mah, then say we are lazy dont wash clothes for hubby. i dont like that when i am still working haha. like i work also what, also got limited personal time, why is it that he can dont do his own laundry and can sit infront of comp/tv whereas i have to spend my personal time to help him leh!! hubby can be so incooperate!
 
reira, think i missed out ur previous question..asian size i wear S for tops frm mng/zara..but i like slightly body hugging tops la..can fit into M aso..i was a topshop 8...now dunoe expand till wad size le...haha...
 
Reira, no ah...she says definitely not this weekend since no dilation. But as bb will be week 38 from Monday onwards so she says that one she not sure so just ask me to standby.Think most gynae cannot tell you exactly when so just ask you to standby when the gestation is right and you have some signs.
When she was doing the U/S for me, she also can feel my tummy hardening and I also told her I got menstrual cramp feeling which she says all these are signs.

I think I will only walk for 4 hrs when shopping too. If not, siao ah...where got so free. Hahahaha...

No need to bring the bfing book lah. The lataction consulatant is there so just ask them. They will help you. I remember that time everyday also got LC/nurse come and ask me if I need help on bfing or not. Sometimes few times a day.

Not everyone climb stairs will deliver fast one. I tried that last round and it didn't work.

So far ah wong didn't tell me if its half engaged leh..she only said its engaged but not low enough.

LiPing, congrats to you!!! You bb is of very good weight although its only 37weeks old.

Cherrios, I am so envious!!! You just dilate to 3cm like that ah? You are not aware of yourself dilating rite? Seems like my cervix quite stubborn leh...still zero dilation!
Got mucous plug liao ah? Then you just monitor if you get show or contraction of water bag burst. You are really on standby already!!!
Huh? Your mucous plug is like menses? That is sign liao mah...!!! Better all your gynae now!

Piggytoh, if mucous plug is brown or beige no need to go hosp.

Janice, mucous plug is jelly like discharge. Can be beige/brown or red.
 
hey... anyone here got streach marks appear on the tummy at week34? i think i start to see mine but i dun dare to confirm whether is it or not...
sad.gif

i've been applying alot of creams and oil all over my body lei. will it still appear........
 
newborn photo
anyone going to hire professional to take the newborn photo in hospital? I wonder if TMC allows it?

haha i dont trust my hubby's lousy photography skill... i wonder if i will have the energy to use my hp and diy for my zachary or not. but also need someone to help take "quan jia fu" leh... *saw mashy's photo* but scared come out not haha *very picky about photoshoot now after the bloom shot*

TMC Angel Junior Club

irene

re: mucus plug
During the MtA prenatal class, they mentioned if there's bloody "show", must go to hospital immediately! cannot go home to shower even. But if waterbag burst, then can go home and shower first...
confused leh! but I think whichever case, I will still go home and bath lah. Most importantly is wash hair...

Kiki, me same as u! Most impt must wash hair! Lol...just now after losing the mucus plug i straight go bath,shampoo hair twice somemore! Haha...scared no chance to shampoo for dunoe hw long...
 
hi ladies!
wah, i spent almost 2 hours reading thru all the posts since last nite.

had an eventful morning. today HB & I woke up at abt 9+am (later than usual) and found a pool of urine in the living room. and it seeps thru almost all the platform. we hv platform lining the sides of the living room & full-length window. we've to cut the silicon of the glass on top of the platform then can clean up the wooden platform. when Hb saw it, he was so mad tat he tied up our goldie & whacked him. goldie must be in pain so it bit my HB's hand. now his hand is swollen & hv teeth marks all over. think it bit and hurt his veins. can see tiny holes & scars all over.

lucky my tummy is not those huge kind. i can still help to clean & mop the whole house while my hubby cleaned up & fix back the sound system. or else my HB sure black faced throughout the day.
 
yesterday gynae said my baby engaged but most likely won't be too early come out. so i asked the clinic assistants what shd i do when i'm abt to give birth. call the gynae or hospital? and how do i know when to go hospital. i was told if hv spotting or a little blood, dun worry. only if waterbag bursts or hv contractions every 10mins, go straight to the hospital. not sure, call them.
 
Zen
dun worry, if u waterbag bursts or contraction every 15min u wash ur hair 1st den bring all u and bb stuff go to hospital reception they will give u check in and help u call doctor. they will help u shave ur down there hai also and clean ur put put.
 
hi reira,

if i don't recall wrongly, TMC have their own photographer to take for baby....they will produce passport size photos for you.
happy.gif
perhaps can check with them whether they allow professional to shoot...
i've already signed up for a photoshoot for my NB when she reaches one month.
happy.gif
same as my elder gal.

as for the TMC Junior Angle Club,
i recently signed up for my elder gal...good for her coz they have a lot of activities for toddlers. Not sure whether it's useful for u to apply now tho.
 
zen
if u can poo ur self ok la . if cant they will help u poo poo b4 u go to deliver. dun worry. they pump water into ur backside den u will go to poo poo after 3 4 days also no poo poo very clean de
 
zen, TMC will shave abit for you then insert enema to let you poo then bathe before sending you to delivery suite. But that's if you can still afford to wait lah. Those hv to seh one I am not sure.

Piggy, last round I have clear mucous plug, then beige then some blood streaks kind for few days before I start having slight contractions.
 
cherrios
hahaha i am going to wash my hair atleast twice too if i have contraction or if my water bag broke!

zen
whoa... your goldie is not toilet train? oh man. the sound system got urine went inside? i dont like wooden floor! my mil also very paranoid about wooden floor gets wet too.

yay so many of us are engaged! i wondering who (who is engaged) will be the next to pop after cherrios! lets see if it is really most of us will pop 2 weeks after engagement.

haha i know most of us will poo when we push. read that it is common and the delivery staff will immediately cover the poo with donno what so that baby wont be in contact with it when he/she is born.

ino
how much does it cost to hire TMC photographer? which studio did u sign up with?

yeah, i also notice more stuffs for toddler. how old is ur girl? JAC is only till 6 yrs old right?
 
i din know they'll insert something into us to make us poo before delivery. oh man..... i can only poo in my own house toilet. i can't poo outside!

reira,
my goldie is paper-trained but ever since we moved into our new house, we bring him down to poo & pee. even if we put newspaper in the toilet, he doesn't poo & pee. but dunno wat happened today. usually if he's very urgent, he'll make some noise or even bang the door. but today he just let us sleep.
 
zen
haha i also didnt know that they will insert something into us to make us poo... ack... have to go through all this >_< bo bian!

ah. dog cant use kitty litter like cats? usually how many times dog poo/pee a day? =( but quite poor thing hor. why not train ur dog to poo/pee in toilet. atleast easier to clean up if he pee there cos very urgent.
 
Hi mummies,

Sorry for late reply..

kikilala- thanks! Ya is a good weight! Can't imagine what will be her weight if I'm still carrying her till 40wk! Hahaa...

Wonder who will be the next to POP? Hehe..
 
Cherrios,
I always buy bengawangsolo from the airport and bring overseas. Can ask your parents to pass to the stewardess to help store in the fridge. (for SQ flights, not sure if other airlines can or not). Sometimes I also put the food in containers and check in (lower deck of the plane is usually in sub-zero temperature). But at the US customs, they will ask whether bringing in food stuff or not right... I always say no! :p
 
kikilala

Uh oh.. I also can't rem when to shower &amp; when not to shower if lost mucus plug or contractions or waterbag burst liao ..

That day my contractor v funny. My HB said when they came into my hse, they looked ard panicky, panicky, &amp; ask my Hb where I was. HB said I wasn't there then they visibly relaxed &amp; went to start work. Haha so funny..

cheerios

zen

Ur goldie is in stress abt something ah?
