Think should be able to hor... cos that time i thought will hit about 1.9 to 2kg when at wk33+... but end up only 1.7kg! PLus i feel my tummy so heavy especially at evening onwards.. and my tummy still expanding.. my tops all cannot cover liao le....

<font color="aa00aa">mamato6Js</font>
Woah.. then i charm liao... i still cant feel BH.. like then i gonna deliver at wk40 liao le.. LOL! >.<

<font color="aa00aa">jenifur</font>
Yup, you're in my msn.. but most of the time my msn is offline cos i have very lousy internet connection at in laws house.. every few mins i will get DC and it really irritates me! >:
 


<font face="segoe print"><font color="#FF6666">flower...</font>

maybe lo.. but hope its not so soon.. I dun tink im ready for her yet.. haha..</font>
 
When I was washing my bb stuff, I wash everything that I can, including the quilt. I also threw everything into dryer unless the tag spoecifically mentioned no dryer.

This weekend, I am going to steam clean and disinfect the cot mattress.

Shelled has been quiet for the past hour - hope she is already pushing.

Ya, I was told also to put a hankie on the boy's penis so that you won't get any surprises.

I started having BH in my 26th week so my gynae gave me ventolin to prevent pre-term labour.
 
BBQ
shelled is at home now. think she posted earlier abt gynae tellg her that her contractions r ongoing but she is not dilating.

Princess
u dun worry ok. cos im not gettg any BH too. only once in a blue blue moon. or maybe cos my cervix has gone thru wear n tear so v seasoned liao no need practise contractions haha...

oh yes u were asking wwhen to get to hosp? by right best time is to wait for contractions 5 mins apart unless u wanna be strapped to CTG machine if u admit early. but cos some mtbs cant tolerate it and said its v painful so they gan cheong get to hosp early so can ask for epi. its v individual i guess.
 
mamato6

Haha I think it's not good nor bad news. Coz I kind of have come to peace liao. Everything leave in the hands of God. If he wants me to pop early for whatever reason, I'm sure he'll show me a way to get things ready on time. There's aws Hubs who can run back home &amp; get things right?

flower

I bot the small Classic design. It's like canvas material.. not super hard but hard enough to have shape. Length is long enough to put an envelope, but think cannot put umbrella. Coz they have compartments &amp; the long compartment is too thin for an umbrella.
 
Uh oh.. not good. I tot BH settled after my bath, but now it's either back or Babylet's kicking me real hard (must be trying to make up for not being able to make me suffer today due to the BH). Think I need to go lie down..
 
mamato6

Hiaz this little rascal is really asking for it. Wait till he comes out. I'll give him "good look"!

Hehe call me boliao, but I just went to test out my new hair dryer on my wet hair. Ok does the job, w/o getting overheated &amp; the dryer is nice &amp; easy to wield. So.. looks like my hair dryer is set &amp; ready to pack into hosp bag keke.
 
<font color="ff0099">Hello everyone...</font>
Finally managed to sleep the longest since Tuesday night – 3 hours!! Previously never managed to sleep more than 2 hours at a go. Hopefully this means my silly cough/throat problem is getting better.

I'm still at home now. Waiting for contractions to start again. This time, my contractions MUST MUST have dilation as well. Otherwise cannot VBAC. Fingers crossed and waiting for God to work His miracles on me &amp; K.

princessxiaomei> keke. urs is small bb =p mine tops oso cannot cover my tummy liaos. cos it's getting bigger n bigger so quickly

mamato6js> omg. den i need go hospital earlier. cos i wan epidural. hais. but dunno my warts will recover soon or not. if by wk36 still not recovered, i need go for csec liaos. stressed. -_-

jul> my little boy oso very notti la. running ard here n there. n makes me feel like he is coming out real soon. but can't b la. doc din say anything when she inspect me at wk34. but de movement really scares me.
 
Hey all... there's no way that I'm ever going to keep up with the forums! They move soooo fast!

Anyway, wanted some advice on a carseat. Looking at either the Britax Boulevard or the Aprica J Fix 635.

Suggestions?
 
michelle

If ur gynae doesn't say he's coming out, then u dun need to scare urself lor keke.

gerald

I bot the Britax Royale. Personally I find the fabric better - more cooling &amp; softer/plusher &amp; smoother (essential for our climate). And it can recline till as low as those infant carriers.
 
shelled

Wah say, u managed to take a nap eh? That's good. Sleep as much as u can now b4 u pop. And u will pop! *cross fingers, cross toes for u*


Ah.. I had 3 char siew paus &amp; a hot Milo. Feel much better now. But.. Babylet is kicking more. Must be the food that gave him fuel. Urgh! He's "rooting" ard again. He shdn't be a cow, he shd be a pig!
 
Whitney,
here is the contact of mdm ida 94249829. think she is fully booked cos when i book her was 2 mths back and her schedule was quite tight le. for mine she also cant confirm can do but will ask her sis if she cant. duration should be 1hr per session. the cloth for binding will have to buy from her $20 if you don wanna use recycle de. the cloth you can even use it after all the session over. she will teach hot to bind.
 
Jul...
Thanks for the advice. Will take a look at the Royale since you mentioned. With my packed schedule, really want to settle stuff ASAP!
 
shelled> all de best to u. i believe got dilation or not. soon u must give birth liaos. hope u get ur wish n deliver by tml. we're all so excited for u =p

gerald> haven seen de britax boulevard, but after sourcing for sometime, i've gotten de britax royale n so have jul. i find it one of de most comfortable n lasting car seat for bb =)

jul> haha. scared leh. plus de warts are driving me nuts. if need csec, i dunno wat to do liaos -_-
 
Michelle,
Wow, my hubby have a lot of clothing too, think he also give way, now BB is KING.Zzz..

You know wat, so fast got pple selling away their Kia Forte leh. Which is only 5months old. 1.6 SX(A)

Jul,
Oh small size class cant fix small umbrella ah. Then I no pt buying lioa cuz whenever I change bag I mus make sure have my umbrella :p..

OMG Jul, your bb wriggling &amp; pushing…. My Gynea always say if you manage to nap &amp; sleep tat mean not the time to go hospital yet. Unless pain til cant get into even a min of sleep then its time to rush to hospital lor..

You intend to wash hair during your hospital stay ah? Did you bot the warming shampoo like Jenifur one?

Bbq98,
Maybe Jul 3 char siew pau is small one la, oh God I feel like having Char Siew Pau too..
 
bbq

Just happens that Hubs went to the same place as he did the last time, so got him to buy the paus lor. I really like char siew paus lah haha.

gerald

If u're looking for a convertible for NB, the Royale is good. Others claim are convertibles, but can't really recline low enough. Michelle also bot the same car seat.

michelle

Really need to C sect with warts? How come ah?
 
<font color="aa00aa">michelle</font>
Last week i just went to Spring to buy 2 maternity tops cos it's on 50% discount! I hope these 2 tops can kinda last me to wear till i POP loh. Cos i really don't have any more BIG shirts to wear out of the house. Now every night i wear my hb's shirt to sleep.. so comfortable! But if i wear his shirt out, he will laugh at me cos it's really unsuitable to wear out la... LOL! Night time i really feel super HEAVY, sometimes cannot balance properly somemore! Hahaha.. Morning, i felt like i am not pregnant!! So empty that kind of feeling!!!!

<font color="aa00aa">shelled</font>
Good that you managed to have a nap! Nap as much as you can... then you can push during delivery!! jiayou jiayou! Hope we can hear good news from you soon..... Wishing you a super smooth VBAC! Tell K you want to spank him already....... LOL!

<font color="aa00aa">jul</font>
Why bring hair dryer to hospital as well? You gonna shower and wash your hair after giving birth?

<font color="aa00aa">mamato6Js</font>
Hmmm... once in a blue moon... i was thinking is it my sng sng feeling is actually BH or not liao le.... the whole of today i have been having sng sng feeling.. legs no energy.. then LS twice... wah lau! I think i eat wrong thing bah....

Wait for 5mins apart then go is best...? How to count the interval i also not very sure... i keep telling myself... die die how pain i also dont want to use epidural.. cos when i think of how they gonna do it, i really freak out already!! So i keep telling myself, ENDURE... no matter what also will be PAINFUL for me... the sight of epidural makes my legs wobbly... can't imagine if i really want to use it... so i am praying super hard everything will be fast, painless, smooth, safe for me.... one of my friends actually puke and push at the same time when she did use epidural.. i cannot imagine that sight! Awww..... plus i really have a PHOBIA in PUKING eversince i PUKE so horribly during 1st trimester! So i am really trying my best not to use any epidural or what.... act like hero when i am so timid! LOL!

But once they strap us to the CTG, we cannot move at all right? We just have to guai guai lie there right??? Like that gonna be damn painful leh... but i thought when we feel contractions at the strongest, we should not just lie flat there... instead should be in upright position... maybe can rock our hips too... will help to dilate even faster too.. if lie there.. i think gonna take a long time...
 
flower

I assume u mean let the umbrella lie down right? Then cfm cannot liao. U dun want the large one?

Hmm.. I din consider the umbrella when I was buying it. Just tot of all the rest of my barangs except the umbrella!

I shd be washing. I am a sweaty pig (yes I know pigs dun sweat) haha. With all the pushing &amp; exertion, sure very smelly. Think I prob will wash hair.

I'm bringing normal shampoo &amp; soap leh. But I did buy the warming stuff. Just that I intend to use at home, not at the hosp lor.
 
Jul,
Hair is the the most impt part during confinement leh, 1st day u already wan to wash ah... if can tahan tahan la...

but since you bot the warming shampoo why dun take some portion to hospital le, plus your hair dryer &amp; short hair, all works Wonder!


ya umbrella lie down ... large one like too large cuz i too have small bags mah... if large one cant fix into small bag
happy.gif
 
flower

Haha I can't lah. Go back to MIL's place after hosp sure cannot wash hair. Nvm I bring first. Maybe I wun wash neh?

Oh I nvr have small bags. My bags are aws HUGE coz I have a lot of barang one. Anyway the bag org is for use in the BB diaper bag, not my own.
 
<font color="aa00aa">jul</font>
LOLs! My friend told me she so pain at her V area until she cannot even get up to the toilet to bathe... she had to get her hb to wipe her... i hope i can have the energy &amp; painless down there so that i can walk around instead of lying there all the way! And i really need the energy to look after my baby when back home lor... nobody except me and my hb will be able to do the confinement liao le...
 
<font color="aa00aa">jul</font>
Yah loh. Hmm... anyone gonna drink 1 or 2 bottles of chicken essence before delivery? I heard some people actually will drink so that give them 'energy' leh.....
 
Princessxiamei,
Which branch of Spring having 50% discount on maternity top?how much is per top b4 discount?
sigh. all our previous clothings are not for nursing one how ah? so new &amp; nice somemore, cant have the heart to throw them away...
 
shelled
u are still ard ar... think u have to spank K's backside le lah.. hehe

jul
i still haben cut my hair but i dont think i'm popping so soon lah.. i told bb after Aug, she can come anytime.. hee cos will be 37wk then.. and where is ur photo shot of u in short hair leh.. must give me courage to chop off my locks mah.. hehe

Gerald
we also thinking of getting the Britax Royale.. just that we have been delaying to buy it since we missed the discount lor.. mayb wait for xmas.. wonder if it's too late hor.. in the meantime just carry bb in my arms lor..
 
Princessxiaomei,
CHicken of essence i tot its heatiness, wait too heaty hard to push bb out.. tat y pple drink coconut juice b4 due mah. to cool the body system, too bad i cant take coconut juice , sob.. recently i take i got asthma attack sob...
 
princess
my mil just told me today to drink 1 bottle of chick essence b4 i go hospital leh.. haha.. but i think i might just forget it in a hurry also..she says it will give me jing shen to deliver lor.
 
milkyway,
really ah, mus chop hair to do confinement ah? why ah?

im disallow to step into hair saloon b4 i pop cuz of the chemical stuff all over saloon :p
 
Hmmm... two recommendations for Royale.

The Aprica has a flat bed feature so was really considering that. Am also concerned bout how the seat will function when the kid is older.
 
flower4
cos we are not supposed to wash hair everyday and with the kind of weather we are having, i'm sweating every moment, even immediately after i bathe.. so best is chop off then more cooling and we dont have to handle a messy hair lor. But if u can tahan not washing hair, then u dont have to chop lah. I wanna chop also cos i intend to wash my hair.. short hair drys faster and easier too.

jul
why do we need to pack the hair dryer in the maternity bag?? TMC dont provide hairdryer ar??
 
*flower*

princess,
yikes, i've never drank chix essence before. can't stand the smell that it emits.

jul,

By the way, here's my 'to bring list'

For myself:

moisturiser
dental floss
comb
hairband
disposable panties
pads
*food*
few pkts of milo

*miscellaneous*
money
