good luck for ur delivery
happy.gif
 
chintz, hmmmm...mucus plug is the plug that blocked the entrance of the cervix that protect the baby from external infections that entered through the vargina... so u start to dilate or the cervix expands or soften, the body will auto expel this mucus plug.. some women notice it when it expels frm the body, some don't...

hehe...48hrs to b "check-in" to the hospital for inducing! lol....
 
thanks ladies!
called the after hour number @ TMC and was told by the midwife to go in to do CTG test cos bb moving v little..

ok will keep you ladies updated again! God bless!

my mil bought 3 bottles for the auntie to make...
while pig trotter can ask CL go buy a few days b4 u wanna start eating(to cook a few days for trotter to be soft...)
 
RE: Diapers
got a pk of "NB" and "S" goon,
a pkt of mamy poko "S",
a pkt of dryper "S" and 3pkt of pampers "NB"...
hope that #2 will be ok with either these brands...otherwise have to buy other brand liao...
 
cheerios! ok, update us yea
happy.gif

rest well meanwhile
happy.gif


cloudme, u'll let bb use diapers full ya?
i haven't bought any. just got a pack of NB huggies given by my cordlife sales rep.

last time i tried mamy poko for bb, that poopoo pocket, not good i think, tends to leak.

wonder what other good ones to try? pampers should be fine ya!
 
Nicole, you can actually head towards your gynae's clinic if its open already. If you are going to deliver then your gynae will ask you to go delivery ward to report.

Good luck to you! I think today will be THE day for you.

Cherrios, I am really surprised you are still here after having show. I always thought having show means will deliver VERY soon.

cloudme, I bought 6 packs of NB. Hahaha...

Chintz, mucous plug is like jelly kind. So you try looking out for it.
 
chintz,
yup fully on diapers...

me too tried mamypoko last time but since #1 is ger(butt smaller) so leaking is expected...

so for #2, hope his butt is just nice otherwise got to sell it off...

RE: brand of diapers...
...niepia, goon, pampers, drypers, huggies, fitties etc...
house brands like "NTUC", "FIRST Choice-Shop and save"...
 
Good morning mummies!

jules,
if my hb not around to fetch me he sponsor for all my cab trips too during the past week...its too heavy for me to work around :p

regarding this gp b strep, you dun worry too much as long as you take the antibiotic and monitor closely by gynae you and bb should be ok.

re:hospital bag
yday my boy saw me packing the bag, he asked me where am I going I told him i am going away to give birth to #2 he started to cry asking me dun go away...aiyo!
 
irene,
wow 6 pkt of NB...
i scare #2 will gain weight fast...
so only got 4 pkts of NB...excluding the one that hosp will return to us...
 
irene, ya lo! stil here eh...haikz...also tot i was popping soon...hehee...but what to do, bb very comfy inside, these days she very active, maybe she know she coming out soon? heheee....

diapers, i bought pampers for newborn, and stock up alot of pampers and huggies for size 1!! really ALOT..hehhee...like more than 500 pieces in total...LOL....
 
Celine, haha...so go get the 1 bedder deluxe and go 'holiday' with your hb and Joshua lor.

Cloudme, my friend who has a girl told me she used 8 packets in the 1st mth so I thought 6 packets should be ok. If cannot finish then sell lor.
 
celine, that's so heartwarming!

cloudme, irene,
ya i intend to try on nappy first. see how it goes.
personally i feel very ma fan to use nappy cloth.
but since now i got a helper, at least there's someone to wash them for me.

if can't cope then ask hb to chiong go NTUC buy diapers hehe. this way also can monitor which size i need to buy
happy.gif


btw, mummies that will use nappy clothes,
how u actually wrap bb with it ah?
my mil method (foldings) like always come out one.. very sianz. somebody enlighten me please!
happy.gif
 
Cherrios, haha...you see...Nicole already going down to hosp later and I think her chances of delivering today is very high.

You got any contractions or menstrual cramp now?You are so cool lor...got show also didn't rush to hosp immediately. My gynae says got show must come down immediately.
 
chintz, I don't know if those herbal stuff really useful leh... all I know its expensive and spoil my pot
sad.gif
So this time I shall insist the CL use lemongrass and ginger as its cheaper and more pleasant.

nicole, all the best!!
 
jules/shizuka,
for baby bonus, official banks are OCBC and standard chartered used to be DBS.

nicole,
are you ok? think you faster go to hospital to monitor.
 
irene, the gynae also give me a set of instructions to say if have show must show up either at the clinic or delivery suite... but now its seems after show doesn't mean we will give birth soon...

cheerios, rest well this last 2 days!! must try sleep more.
 
Chintz, you mean folding the nappy ah? There's only one way to fold it.
If you worry when you wear for bb and it will be loose, you can get those nappy pants so that you can secure it nicely.

I hope you have gotten the nappy liner as its easier to wash if you have it.
So you have gotten napisan too rite? It will clean the nappy well.
 
Mich, yes...show is one of the 3 signs that cannot sit and do nothing. That's why I am really surprised cherrios is still here chatting with us!
But I think I will still rush to hosp if I have show.
 
cherrios/irene,
mucus plug look like jelly? describe more can? if pop out will have water leaking or blood?

irene,
my hb want to go hotel stay with me but i dun want. I think both of them will disturb my rest instead of giving me peace :p

chintz,
maybe you standby both cloth and disposable diapers incase you and your maid cannot cope then can switch to disposable ones.

yes, I think nicole might be the 3rd one :D instead of cherrios.
 
my hb stil got 1 biz trip next week which happen to be my week 37, I am really worry i am going to seh without him around
sad.gif
 
irene, yest went my routine ctg monitoring also no regular contractions yet leh..these few days i became giraffe alrdy! everyday paranoid when go toilet, must check waterbag gt burst ma, got pinkish discharge ma...nw i dun feel anything except my gal moving..hehee...but today no appetite to eat even thou very hungry eh!! nt like the usual me....

mich, left 1 day only!! hehehe....i wonder when they induce me can i slp if i m on epi? lol...
 
Celine, its really jelly...you won't mistake it for normal discharge. The last round when I had it, it comes in beidge colour...then sometimes got blood streak in the jelly. You can have it for many days or even a week before you deliver.
No feeling when it comes out. You will notice it when you wipe after using toilet.

If not you opt for 1 bedder than let your hb and Joshua hang around in the day time. When its nite time, ask them to all go back and you rest.
 
mich, lemongrass n ginger! interesting. teach me teach me!

celine, ya will standby both, tats why haven't bought a lot of diapers.

irene, those nappy pants are those that prevent leaking, with velcro fitting one, am i right? can let NB wear that liao? last time only let my girl wear when she's 1-2mths i think (more weight)

i have extra nappy liners too (leftovers) haha

and what;s a napisan??

jialat, i felt that my confinement last time really like anyhow whack one hehehe
 
Cherrios, hahaha..I have been doing the toilet check eversince my gynae says my girl is engaged. Must be more observant in case miss out all the signs.
Yah...I also wonder when going to deliver, will our body react differently like no appetite suddenly or suddenly cannot sleep at all and becomes very uneasy.
 
cherrios, 1 more day! U may jus be able to sleep, but its not really the deep sleep kind... very hard to do that with something in your back, and u gotta lie sideways.

celine, can your hb not go next week or not ah?
 
Morning
happy.gif


Wah .. u all bought so much diapers already? I've already got 1 pack of nepia NB cos i'm afraid sizing not rite for bb. Thinking of buying when bb comes out .... hope it's not too late by then.
happy.gif
 
irene, maybe last time i lost it also didn't notice it :p

so those 3 signs that u ladies mentioned, are:
1. (bloody) show
2. water bag break
3. contraction pain

am i right?
 
Chintz, haha...I really anyhow whack my confinment the last round coz no CL too. Only me, myself and irene.

Yes, thats the one..with velcro to secure the cloth nappy. Ofcoz NB can wear as they have small size ones. If not you use safety pin to secure the cloth nappy ah?

Napisan is the washing powder for washing cloth diaper. It removes the poo stain very well. You can go NTUC unity to get it. I've seen it before.
 
chintz, after hearing mashy say her CL use lemongrass, I went and asked my MIL. My MIL say its possible, just take lemongrass/blue ginger and pound & crush, then boil in the water and when cooled down, use to bath. Same concept as those smelly black herbs lah.

U engaging CL or who is doing your confinement?
 
pegsfur, u can ask ur hb to go to the nearest supermarket and buy, no hurry. The pack from hospital will last till u go home at least.

chintz, that is the 3 signs my gynae advised me in his set of instructions.
 
Pegsfur, no worries, you can always send your hb out to get the diaper later.

chintz, correct! The contraction pain must be regular like every 10mins.

Celine, you have a checkup before your hb travels? If have then can check with gynae if you have signs of delivery or not.
 
celine, its like our cough mucus? sticky and stretchy one, it can be blood tinged or just white in colour, mine was reddish cos I had VE checkup that day and was spotting...a fren of mine, when she lost it, she heard a "pop" sound but mine didn't... mine stick to my bottom and when i try to wipe with tissue also cun remove, must use hand..sorry if I sound too visual here...
 
irene, got smaller size ah? alamak, i really didn't know about this. i remember the 2 i bought last time was pretty big.

i thought i have purchased all necessities and had just told hb, no need to go out anymore.. hmmmm u know la with this h1n1 flu bug around!

will look out for napisan, thanks! that's the brand itself ya?

mich, my mil insisted to do my confinement.
last time told her about the herbs, asked her to help buy for me, she ignored me, she said she never heard of such things before. surprisingly she's the one that encouraged me bathing too.

but this time my mum bought me the herbs and persuaded me to boil it.. although i'm not very keen hehe

thanks for the tips mich!
 
irene, these few days i alrdy feel very uneasy le eh...walk aso gt problem, like tummy very very heavy, anytime gonna drop the feeling...
 
Chintz, got leh. My boy borned below 3kg and he can use the nappy pants leh.Maybe not different size but different brand has different cutting.

Yes, Napisan is the brand.
 
chintz, if u gonna close factory after this one, better to do a proper confinment lo, better be safe than sorry..hehe...but I also half bucket one, i told my mum i wil do what my body tells me to do, i dun wan later go into depression just bcos cun bath or cun wash hair lo...
 
mich/irene,
got a checkup this sat, will ask gynae is it alright for my hb to go next week...but I did told him not to travel from 1st Aug onwards thats why he plan all his trips to complete by end of Jul. *sigh* hopefully #2 dun come out early lah.

re:mucus plug
sounds yucky! :p
 
besides jules and cheerios, was reading on facebook that babymaking is also scheduled for her C section this Friday? BBmaking, wishing u a smooth delivery!
 
irene, i shall let my nb try it out first before deciding to buy any smaller one or not. thanks!

will look out for Napisan too
happy.gif


cherrios, i always have that feeling too leh. but im only at my 34 weeks.
 
cherrios, i feel like closing factory.
but i know hb still want somemore hahaha

i also love kids! let nature takes its course
happy.gif
 

mich, muahhaa
u are the one that's expecting #3 right??

my hb very funny, recently went to the fortune teller, then the fortune teller said both of us can have up to 4 boys and 2 girls, but it's up to us whether to give birth to so many..

wah then can see he's happy like mad.

and i'm so stressed to see his lighting face lohr!
