<font color="ff6000">RE: Strep B test</font>
I just called my gynae's office and the nurse said they will do for me ard 36-37wks. I told her i don't recall being tested for it when I had #1, then the nurse flip my records and said they did it for me in May 2007. Then she said I'm very blur leh!
lol.gif
 
sandwich
her gynae said that cos she opted for elective c section thats why he never tested her and in the end her waterbag burst prematurely so one thing lead to another she has vaginal delivery and her baby was infected. however my gynae said whether its c section or normal delivery it doesnt hurt just to take the test to be cautious cos there is a very small percentage c section babies can be infected too. my frd said no point suing the gynae or wat cos her baby is gone and she just wanna close the case to prevent more hurt to herself.

berrypie
sorry my mistake. yes i think the test is to be take ard week 35.
 
Shelled
haha... yah lah at times we didnt ask what we being tested for! oh well u one blur sotong anyway!!

girly
u r right. if baby survive think will have some effects like blindness or developmental delay.

my gynae put me on antibiotics since week 35 during my last preg. i was thinking why so early since i usually only deliver after 39 weeks. thank God he did that cos my gal was one early creature! she came out at week 37, gave me such a shock. and it was so fast there was no way they could put me on antibiotic drip in the labour room too.
 
Gina, Kick chart ah, ok later i google it check.

Shelled, the list only for guideline la.. i oso will try to look for the recipe la. properly din have recipe is becos is common dish during confinement ba...

princess,jul,
i tot pig organs are major ingredient during confinement leh... heard tat, cant take too much red meat and also chicken only can take in later stages due to healing of cuts from delivery leh.

erh... Milkway wat is Strep B Or Swap test? need to pay ah? oh ya anyway, i not in package liao , so i guess i ned to pay.. ur package include such test anot? or is it mus pay separately.
 
shelled:

princessxiaomei:

coz last last week you took someone's mat and you mentioned mah! you were in front of me then. hee...

Jess:
I tot there are 7 pcs inside each? No? I heard she said so and i roughly counted 7.

Milkyway:
I bought the bottom balm at $13 at KP, also got discount now. But i didn't buy the wash coz it didn't state "non-rinse" so i dunno if it's the correct one.. :p
 
milkyway> keke. if ur weight gain is too much, den better stop de durians wor. cos mean high carbo n sugar. if got high sugar in urine, den no good for bb leh.

sandwich> oo. so tat's how dey calculate 10movements. kee. it was not indicated clearly at the class. =p thanx

jul> keke. shuld not b no wash, but rather no rinse? as in forgot who mentioned, but can juz pour into de water u use to bathe bb? den juz bathe bb with de water, n no need wash off with clean water again?

flower4> ur class seems more interesting. mine was more on how bb is born. so scary seeing how bb pop out. all de blood. i nearly fainted -_-"

my class on sat oso got goodie bag. haha. but useless stuffs. juz 2pack of sample mummy milk which i never intended to drink and one avent container for storing bb milk. but it seems like this container is for use with avent breast pump. not sure if suitable with other brand ones. keke.

princess> for friends i oso not intending to give cakes. office standard policy is buy bengawan solo cake voucher. so i'll juz get those.

keke. ya. bb keep moving, hard to sleep. make me super buay tahan, den i ignore him. haha. den he oso guai guai go sleep =p my doc say no change to my edd so far. though i see from de scan, its like going forward.

group b strep? sounds scary. kk. i ask my gynae abt this test. since it's so serious. any idea how much it'll cost?

paige> de cot tat i bought oso can convert to junior bed. suppose to b up to 5-6yrs old. but nvm la. most likely i wan another kid. so depends on when de younger kid comes along, den first bb can change bed =p
 
<font color="0000ff">princess></font> but why huh?? why 2nd child cant engage first?? only 1st child will engage???

how do we get the infection for the strep test???

<font color="0000ff">girlygirly></font>

Flower

Jul

flower4,
i think if need to take the strep b test, i would need to top up cos my package is very basic only includes urine test, ultrasound and normal consultation lor.. any extra tests and even multivits, DHA, i gotta pay one. Check out the link http://www.babycenter.com/0_group-b-streptococcus-screening_1647.bc?page=1
first time i hear about this test also.. Dr wong has not mentioned it b4 so don't know we will be asked to take it.

momoteh, i have not bought any of the Avent or stuff for that Mrs Wong showed in class.

Michelle,
very hard to resist durians leh.. but i do watch the amt i eat and of cos daily i make sure i dont drink too much sweet drinks too.
 
So sleepy... zzz..

michelle

Think roughly all baby wash can be non-rinse. Just drop a couple of drops into the water then bathe the BB in it, no need to rinse lor.

mamato6

I used to eat Hokkien prawn mee w/o prawn lor hahaha.
 
<font color="0000ff">momoteh></font>

*rach*

nt sure why 1st will engaged few wks b4 hand whereas sebsequent ones will engage later or during delivery also...bt think nature is juz so amazing lor...like if 1st is delivered via vaginal, likely sebsequent ones will be also. I used to worried abt having c-sect for #2 coz in the delivery suit bb's head hasn't even engaged (mine was induced delivery coz of history of miscarriages), BUT THEN, surprisely, once water bag is burst artifically, bb's head 'auto' turned down and my cervix fully dilate within an hour...

RE: 3/4/5 TIER CABINET UNIT
nt sure how sturdy it is or hw's the quality bt guessed shld be ok since we are nt using it to hold heavy items. for the 5tier that i haf bought, i intend to use 1 drawer for diapers, 1 for towels and hankies, 1 for bedsheets, blankets and pillow cases, 2 for bb's clothes...
on top of it can place items like nappy cream, powder etc
 
Hi. Just to share. Kiddy PAlace now having 20% storewide sale for members and for Avent bottles if you bring in your old bottles for trade in, you get an additional 10% on top of the 20%. Very worth it!
 
<font color="0077aa">princess</font>
maybe can use 2 piece at a time.. 1 to wash the body/ hair (like wash cloth?). 1 to wet and cover over the body like shown in the video? =)


<font color="0077aa">milkyway</font>
which one is momteh? i din know leh!


<font color="0077aa">momoteh</font>
i dunno which is you! say hi to me this sat hor! last lesson liao!

i counted 5 inside the pack la.. i din open up yet.


<font color="0077aa">flower</font>
thanks! i will go back and read :p was lazy yesterday...


<font color="0077aa">michelle</font>
hehe.. dunno leh.. i was dreaming.. hubby said it was a happy satisfied sigh though.. haha...
 
wah....20% storewide???
i almost bought a pair of pants there..but the sizes too small..
my only pair of pants split yest... sigh...
gotta get another one else nothing to wear liaoz..
sigh... i bought at Spring eventually..$69.90!!!!!!!!!!!!!
faint...
 
wah, this thread moves very fast. hope i never miss out any questions from anyone, coz i read bery fast. hehe...

gina

whoever gonna be in the hse is only my dear hb, its juz 2 of us. and unfortunately hb can't cook for nuts. :p

shelled

awww... hb so sweet, is he a good cook? but if he's gotta work, hard to cook everyday for u also. beside before cooking still got to go marketing. men go marketing sure kanna chop nicely one. haha...

ling

ehh? i confused also. i remembered that jenifur said that the bubble bath is a non-rinse but the shampoo n bath one must rinse. jenifur is the CB expert. maybe later part we can check with her again when she comes back to the forum.
happy.gif


jul &amp; michelle

the swab test (sorry earlier typo error i said swap test
happy.gif
is like a papsmear lor. its to test for the group strep B. my gynae told me i'd be doing it at my next visit. i forgot to ask him is it only test for Grp Strep B or also can test other things. i suspect i might have a yeast infection.
sad.gif
lately like increase in discharged, making me quite worried.

mamato6js

do you remember if the swab test was an additional cost for you the last time? or is it inclusive in the gynae's package? is it only specifically test for grp B strep? is it possible to test for yeast infection too?
 
rach,

you stay opposite chong pang mkt there is it? i was thinking, maybe i collect my donuts from you instead, coz i go chong pang pretty often. so my donut dun have to pass to shelled ok?
 
*kiki*
Is that test costly?? How much does it cost?? waht's yeast infection?

*jess*
So during bath time, there will be 2 pieces used.. one is to "paste" on the body and the other is to wipe the hair... think so bah.. LOL! i also dont know which is momoteh.. she knows which is me.. funny leh.. hahaa

*rach*
What donut??? i saw donuts posting all over but i thought is the donut you all eating eh?? LOL!

i have no idea why like that.. hahaha... by nature i supposeD??
 
kiki

Oic. Well just cfm with ur gynae abt the Strep B next visit lah. When's ur next visit?

Actually, I guess regardless of how many tests &amp; what tests u do, all involve swabbing the V area, so not as if u need any aditional work, so just wait til next appt then cfm also can lah.
 
princess

i dunno if its costly, coz i haven't tested yet mah, thats why asking the other mummies here if anyone else has gone for it already. hehe..after i do mine, i'd update here ok?

you can read abt yeast infection here.

http://www.babycenter.com/0_yeast-infections-during-pregnancy_485.bc


jul

my next visit is 24 jul, i'd be about 32 wks then. initially i spoke to my gynae and asked if i cld test earlier, coz i worried i'd pop earlier like jenifur/lilac. but my gynae said too earlier test no use, because at the later part might get infected again, so normally the recommended test period is 32 wks onwards, then results take maybe 2wks or so... so by the time the antibiotics are prescribed to you maybe its abt 36wks, which in normal cases is around the period the baby is likely to pop.
 
kiki
Yeah I also heard that test so early, treat so early, may come back again. Unless u got signs of early delivery then they will bring forward lor.

My 32 week appt is this Fri.
 
Hi Mummies,

didnt post for some time but have been reading through...

Jenifur and Lilac,
Congrats!
Lilac,
he will be strong and healthy. Have faith and rest well too. Keep us posted so we know that u and baby are well.

Strep B test :
My gynae did the test when i was in my 24th week, just got my result last Saturday. I see alot of gynae doing the test quite late...but will it matter which week it is done?

Any idea abt eating seaweeds? I have cravings for seaweeds but not sure if it is safe to eat
sad.gif

YES!!! I miss pork blood too...
 
<font color="ff6000">kiki</font>
My hubs can cook ok lah. It's edible, and some dishes he cooks are super nice. Like his Emperor's Chicken. Wah.. talk about it now I also feel like eating.
lol.gif


He won't get cheated at the market one lah, he's very smart that way. And he'll be having 2wks paternity leave, so he should be able to cook for me. But he says he'll be "on call" to go back to work, so now not too sure want to cook for me or just get catering.

<font color="ff6000">momoteh</font>
I think Mama to 6Js is right. I am one blur sotong! The whole reason why I'm neat is because it prevents me from getting confused lor! Eh, by the way, how come you meet milkyway you never ask her to pick up your BBMall loot for you?

<font color="ff6000">Re: Strep B test</font>
My gynae's office charges $60 for the Strep B test. Also not included in my antenatal package. But it's compulsary with my doc unless already scheduled elected C-sec.
 
shelled,

good for u! if my hubs say he wanna cook for me, i'd be damn touched but at the same time wondering if its edible! :p

oh, $60 for strep b test sounds reasonable. i wonder how much my gynae will charge me.
 
Rach,

Transferred $8.

Ref number: 0067 ( Correct? )

From POSB Savings 158-27388-8.

To POSB Savings 130-16522-2.

Collection method I don't know how... >.<

Will any of you be coming to Toa Payoh Central? XD

Because I'm in my salon from 11am - 9,10pm practically everyday.
 
Kiki
i cant rem how much gynae charged me i think its not included in package. also not sure if they can test for yeast n strep b with one single swab cos they must have enuf culture to test for 2 infections. u ask ur gynae?

i dun think need 2 weeks to know result right? few days only if im not wrong. my gynae used to put me on antibiotics right from week 35 all the way till i deliver cos u r right if treat too early it may come back before u deliver.

Ning
i think 24 weeks is way too early to test for strep b. gynaes usually test after week 32, most likely abt 35-36 weeks. unless u have history of premature labours.
 
milkywa> haha. lucky i dun really have craving for durian. is juz tat my dad buy one box for me. den hubby dun eat. so i juz finish eating. now i ask dad not to buy liao =p

jul> keke. isit? all bb wash is non rinse? den i no need specifically buy CB one liao =p

rach> keke. i got missed call ah? later i go check. juz went to port my num fr singtel to starhub. so haha. 2 phones all lying at diff place. later i go find my old line =p

periwinkle> de sale still on? erms.. i nv c any sale when i go yesterday. but than again, i not member. only went to buy de cotton disposable panties as recommended here. already on discount.

jess> keke. happy satisfied still sigh. keke. u really love sighing? =x but if it's happy, den i guess it's ok. will make bb happy too =x

kiki> i think increase in discharge is normal now? cos i oso. dun think is yeast infection. if yeast infection, u will be super itchy n hoping mad. had it once when i was pregnant. wah. de medicine was like 14bucks for one pill to insert inwards. n it made me itch like mad -_-" nearly fainted fr de itch. in de end i buay tahan after 30mins. went to wash off de effect of the medicine. wasted de money -_-"

erms. i oso going for my 32wks soon. 30jul. but doc nv tell me in advance anything abt the test. juz tell me nxt wk need to discuss de delivery plan in case i have anything i insist strongly in doing or not doing. else she'll advise on her plan.

shelled> u all hubby so good. got like 2wk parental leavE? erms. how come my hubby dun haf. heng he have like alot of leave left. gonna clear to stay hm accpy me. keke. his mgr even say u go on 1mth do confinement for ur wife ah. haha =x

<font color="ff6000">Michelle</font>
I guess it depends on your hubs' company lor. Some companies nice, then they will give. Some give paternity leave, but deduct from annual leave. My hubs quite lucky, cos his ex-company and this one both allow him to take paternity leave. But this one he will need to be "on call" to go back if needed, cos he's got more responsibilities than his last job.

I got the email reply from them already:

<font color="aa00aa">Dear Customer,

Thank You for your order from BabyVision!

I am very sorry about this order being so confusing. First the items 34530, 05810 you were refunded for due to No Inventory so that would explain why they are not in the package. Second the sleep and play we substituted instead of refunding because the size you ordered was not available, so we gave you the next size up. As for the pads I believe this is the only problem I see with your order, so I am sorry for the mix-up with these items. The waterproof,quilted is the same as the water absorbent, quilted we had to repacked them because they are not water proof they absorb water. So the true mistake here is that you received less 2-packs and more water absorbent and it is only off by 2 items so I can either ship the 2 incorrect items or I can give you a discount on the 2 incorrect items. Please let me know if you would like the 2 items replaced or refunded.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank You,
Lisa Hoose

So basically momoteh's item was not shipped wrongly, it was replaced with 1 size up because 0-3M size out of stock. But the crib pads they really screwed up lor.

I just replied to her, and i'm not sure whether we can even replace or refund, because if she needs me to ship the items back to USA in order to get refund/replacement, then very defeat purpose cos shipping won't be cheap lor. I think we'll just leave it be?

I just damn angry why they never inform via email about OOS items one lor. Like quietly just refund or change the item's size, and never even let me know. Quite sucks leh.
 
*cho*

practise make perfect...with my 1st borned, i haf problem picking her up for the 1st time during the hospital stay...make a few attempt b4 i managed to hold her in my arm...me never carry any bb b4 and nt to mention newborned!!! the 1st newborned i carried is my gal lor...

bt doll and bb is real different lor...anyway we will somehw be very gd at it very very soon...it's a very natural thing...
 
<font size="+1"><font color="aa00aa">BabyMallOnline Spree Update - Batch 2</font></font>

According to Vpost, shipment has arrived in Singapore today 4.12pm. They should be sending it to me tmr. Will update again when I receive it and go thru the items. I believe some items OOS because I got another refund on my credit card, but BBmall didn't inform me which ones. Will let you guys know which items are OOS. Hopefully they don't screw up our crib pads again!
 


mamato6Js,

your gynae will put u on antibiotics from wk 35 onwards? so, meaning have to take antibiotics everyday till due? if due in wk40 then got to eat that everyday for 5wks?
sad.gif
yikes! thats a lot of antibiotics to have. hmm... i will ask my gynae when he will start me on it (if i do have the strep B).
