Irene,

no choice, its been with me for so many months.

Take time to get up when from lying position, will be better...

Yen,
Are you really going to shave yourself with a mirror?? becareful wor... think better ask someone to help you lah. if you cut yourself worst right?
I also very paisay one, but just have to keep telling yourself that its part of the daily work for the midwives/nurses... they have seen enough already.
 
kikilala: thanks , i will be careful...maybe ask my husb to help...haha

i rather i cut myself (self-inflict injury..haha)..than they careless and cut me.
 
re: soreness at v area
The soreness that u all talk about is it at the side of the vaginal?mine is one sided only...think it's around the labia area. Very sore when I walk. But my bb is still in breech position so dun think it's cos by bb being engaged
 
pris,
will update for u later too!
its still as swollen lor...so waiting for it to subside...see if i deliver by then....cos old ppl say once subside will gif birth..haha

I went to suntec happy kidz too last friday but can't find good ones from the shops. Thanks! Will be great if you can burn a copy for me!

ohh! in that case for my last check up, baby engage but maybe head still high. but she did scan his head around my pubic area leh? for me, zachary been head down since like week 24 le, so she never say to us about baby head down but no signs of labour. just say everything looks fine besides the bb head, body, feet position ect. i wonder if i can request for his feet + placenta as his cushion for the next picture mah?

luckily that cat dont like toy! they dont even play their mouse toy. but they like to play with real lizard.

RE: waxing
ouch... wax strips. i dont dare to do myself for brazillian wax, scared very very pain... maybe tomorrow i try the less hair part and see how. btw, are u using those wax strips that needs alcohol wipe to remove one? my hubby dont even dare to help me shave! not to mention about wax! he scared he shave wrongly then cut my skin or what.

Just now i saw on tv about this shobha sugaring gel. damn good! a very hairy man demostrate it on his chest in a tv program and wow... really one pull all hair off and his skin is very red (got bleeding also)! wonder if singapore got sell this or not, looks like better than bodyshop's sugaring wax.

mashy
if i use cardigan/blanket to cover, will it block baby? cos like he will be covered also right? haha cannot imagine how to do it now.

chintz
yup! cherrios went to hospital already at already 2pm here!

donkeymami,
how come your gynae ask u to go to TMC for CTG monitoring? any reason or it is just a routine for your gynae?

so you will be popping soon? so fast!

Regg,
the booties are so pretty as usual!! :D I have Zachary's in my hospital bag.
 
reira, i thk is my gynae's practice to chk bb heartbeat & to see if i got any contraction bah...so far finished the ctg test nurse didn't say anything.

gynae nv said when i will pop leh..jz asked i got any pre-labour signs or not..i said nothing :p
 
Reira
So funny! the "shobha sugaring gel"... one pull all hair gone, including some skin too! must be very very painful for the poor man!
 
Mashy,

Thanks for info. ;p Yup, was so surprised when i saw Fitti. Then again, Fitti seems to be doing alrite for my boy thus, i am quite ok with it. ;p

Chintz,

Oh really! That's great! Probably, we ever met at ACJ ;p So, i supposed our kids, together with Sharon's, will be seeing one another at Chongfu in future. ;)

Sharon,

Haha.. If only we had known each other earlier, we can go for gynae check up together ;p
 
reira,

Cos i had pre-mature ruptured of waterbag during my prev preg, so she is always looking out for signs of early labour or leaking of amniotic fluid. That's why she always tell my hubby everything's ok, whether i'm going to deliver soon or not etc
happy.gif


For waxing, yah, i always use those type that comes with the wipes. I think it's from Veet. 1 thing is that, the strips always dun quite work towards the end cos i'll be perspiring already, and the wax won't stick.

Aiyoh .. the sugaring gel sounds horrible leh .. bleeding somemore. But i saw from the news sometime back that there is a new sugaring wax which is supposedly to be painless, but works very well. I'm quite skeptical cos pulling the hair out cannot be not painful de mah ... but the news show the man doing on his hairy chest and he was all praise for it. Wonder if s'pore has it or not.
 
What a day!
had 5 mins apart contraction and pain early this morning at 5 plus and monitor the contraction and pain for 3 hours to make sure it's real contraction before I make my way to the hospital also there's more bleeding than yesteday... After 3 hours decided to go to hospital, and when arrived wat put on CTG to monitor, there were indeed close contractions and pain. Nurse did VE but again 0 dilation, so nurse called Gynae and he says since there's pain he ask for me to be admitted. So nurse did the shaving etc to prepare me in case I go into labour and then after another 3 hours, the contractions went flat!! I was soooo tired and waited for another 2 hours and finally gynae came, he ask me if I want to stay or go home...I choose to go home...this is the 2nd false alarm and i'm sooooo tired already, wanted to ask gynae to induce liaos...

think the next time round i'll only go in when my water bag burst..else it's another round of wild goose chase again..hai!
 
me here oredi..

birth story:
730am - walked to labor ward... put on ctg at the observationary area... then shaved...and put on the gel to poo poo
830- given epidural and induced...
then gynae came in did the VE check.. onli about 2cm dilated..
11am epdiual losing effect.. given a purge of 5mm.. for instant relief.. blood pressure dropped...slowly improved
12pm pushed to labor ward... was ard 4-5cm dilated oredi
230pm...fully dilated but gynae said bb's head too high... n told me to wait for another half hour while reducing epidual dosage.. hoping that i am able to push with some feelings..
255pm.. still totally numbed..but bb's head lower... gynae decided to go ahead
310pm - bb came out after 4x pushes.. the 4x is using vacumm suction to help..

bb's weight is 3.185kg.. came as a surprise to me

Hi Smurfy,
Congrats!

Hi Regg & Celine,
I also feel the same way..now my tummy is soooo tight,my skin is totally taut and uncomfortable
sad.gif
 
Congrats Smurfy...

Pinkmama, baby do not have to be engaged to feel the pelvic pain. Mine was not engaged but sitting low (hence d tummy looks low) n i was having the pain as well.
 
Hi Sharon, congrats on ur smooth and fast delivery… AS for fitti, that is the brand of diapers I use when I was young, cant imagine my bb using this same brand..

Kiki, have a smooth delivery.

DolceVita, I am getting excited for u.. gonna deliver soon… rem to update us yah… As for the pain down there, I have experience it few times so far and I wonder if it gonna get more intensive over the next 2 wks. I am seeing Dr Phua this sat and hope he can update me on my status, particularly my bbu mentioned abt the pain and u carrying low, gonna give birth soon, when u starting ur ML? I am still heading to work daily and I hope I don’t get any of such pain when I am out at site.. fingers cross… . (btw, I have not received any TMC letter on hospitalization and Dr Phua cant explain why too.)

Regg, I also experience heart burn more frequent lately.. getting quite bad each time after meal. Do u experience the same thing??

Sumfy, congrats on ur newborn and sharing of ur birth story.. have a gd rest and do update us of your status when u discharge//

Yen, not easy for us to shave ourselves at this time, the tummy would be too big and obstructing our view.. I tried trimming but was a failure in the mission… for safety reason, better avoid shaving yourself in case u cut yourself, get your hubby to help you if need be.. otherwise go for BW..

RE: BW, any other mummies gg??

More and more mummies are popping, I am getting excited too… but I am hoping all the pain will kicks in when I start my ML
 
donkeymami
CTG sounds boring leh! I am so excited cos next monday will be my next gynae visit (finally!!). I hope she don't suggest for me to induce on that day itself or something. hopefully can wait till aug.

kikilala
tomorrow will be your turn too! are you prepared? now then i "ling shi bao fo jiao"

hahaha yah the shobha sugaring gel rocks! the man is so brave lor... he really put a lot of the gel then just pull! omg lol if it was me, i think i will trim shorter first. less painful. not to mention the gel is like amazing, cos usually if got lots of hair there, even if pull sure some hair will be left on the skin!!

Regg
haha i bring there to stand by first. but i dont think can let him wear leh, cos he will be swaddled unless i un-swaddled him?

pegsfur
i tried veet wax before! but somehow it never work on me!! when i use one side, the other side will be wasted like rolled up. lol then when i tried to pull the hair... no hair come out! *faint* plus the strips are so big!!

sugaring wax painless? fake one lah. i use sugaring wax also but still can feel the pain cos u pull hair + skin leh. hmm... the nes show the man doing on hairy chest!?!? thats the program i saw today!!! shobha sugaring gel is the one haha. but expensive, dont think SG have. one set US$30 - 8 oz and some misc "equipments". for waxing, sure will bleed de if the hair is long or never wax before.

nicole
ouch! poor you! must so tired cos of these false alarms. not to mention you waited 3 hrs lor! if it was me, 5 mins apart i will go to hospital liao without waiting.
 
smurfy
congrats on your newborn!!! wow! 7:30 - 3:10pm... thats 8 hrs. @_@ i will be so sleepy. how was your shaving experience? i am still wondering if i should shave or do BW.

how did you remember all the details? i wonder if i can remember or not and the time. o_o unless nurse or someone will record?

Lawshe
I might go and do BW but still deciding.

kikilala
during the BW session, did you have to lie flat facing up all the time? i donno if i can tahan lying flat for an hr or not. do you remember the lady's name who did the waxing for u?
 
piggytoh
yes i told my gynae wayyyyyyyyy before that i wanna epidural.. and since my labor was not really progressing hor... i ask the nurse whether they can do the VE after the epidural effects kick in.. :p i had more than 1 bag of epidural lor.. the epidural was on-going but at some points, can feel the contraction pains..so then the nurse purge.. (give extrra).. for instant relief
 
Lawshe
kiki went to Revive Wellness. I just checked that they have this Princess Brazilian 1+1 trial @S$100nett. I wonder whats that? Like 2 ppl go and pay $100 for 2 ppl's Princess Brazillian? If thats the deal then I sure wanna go!

smurfy
let us know your bill! the counter lady at my gynae's office said epidural cost $700 leh. aiyo so expensive. lol then if it is like 1 dose only... i will heart pain.
 
Lawshe,
I went to Revive at Tras street ($50 for trial session)

Reira,
I'm lying on my back all the time, but the bed is like those dr type (head is raised) and she also placed 2 pillows under my knee. Its actually quite comfortable. The lady is Imelda, quite young girl. I went alone leh and they charge me $50 for 1 trial session but not the princess BW lah.
 
kikilala
yeah, i wonder if the princess one is $100 for 2 ppl? Then each only need to pay $50!? very hua leh!

Did you choose Imelda or random de?

LawShe
When will you be going for the BW? I wonder if the princess one is really $100 for 2 haha. Wanna go together?
 
Hi Reira, my EDD is in late aug and i was thinking if i should do it in the next 2 wks..

Celine

Reira

========================

weishy

if tonight aching again..maybe tml don go work..go see doc.. checkup. haha..
 
Regg, the booties are so nice!!!! Love it!

Smurfy, congrats to you!!!!

Nicole, poor girl..did you ask your gynae what is the real sign that you should look out for your case?

sbb, although my breast not big kind but each time its engorged, it will leak. Drink hot water will leak and bathe with hot water will leak too. It will leak when its time to pump.
I don't think its true that pumping is easier. Coz pumping means you need to sterilise and wash. But if you latch, there is not washing and sterilising. So if you have help at home, you can pump or else I think latching would be easier.
 


lawshe
aiyo haha then cannot le. I plan to do it next week.

sbb
hope you can sleep well tonight! next monday might be my last chance to ask my gynae liao le!

haha MIL always weird de lah. my mil also. I told her last monday that Zachary was 2.8kg and she asked "i thought u all say big?". Then I have to proceed to explain that by week 40, he will be 3.4kg and she nothing to say liao too. maybe they act like that cos they dont know our EDD bah.

kikilala
no BW is painless de lah! waxing leh! unless for those that did it many times then maybe for them the pain is mild. Is IPL painful?
