Tien,
yes.. I think so too leh... my C-sec is 8 Oct. Still have 1 week plus to go but seems like the little one cannot wait. The contractions getting more and more frequent but each time last like few seconds only.
I have asked gynae about contractions. She mentioned that different people describe it differently. But either way, I think should have pain then consider as contractions.

<font color="aa00aa"> hello all, I am glad that you all receive the lilypadz already!! All in good condition? I checked the packing before, if tore or anything, I will call singpost..again, I am sorry about the delay..
update update : I slept like a pig yesterday night after 1am, no pain, no contraction, still trying to figure it out what is contraction pain because the last time I experiece menses cramp was at least 10 years ago. eversince I loss weight, my menses was regular( duration: 3 days) and no cramp at all.
I am still walking, mopping, playing with my dogs, going up down the stairs.
Not acting cool or steady leh but how to be anxious and kancheong when no pain now? My friend also 3cm dilated at week 38 and she waited till 40 also no ACTION then her gynea induced her. </font>

xoxo,
did u know there's a shop in parkway parade that's called "XOXO" on the second flr? hehehe... i have yet to book the BW appt since now am back in 1st gear. thot i'd take my time. next gynae appt is 8 oct. so am eyeing 3 or 4 oct for BW.
tien,
that sounds like braxton hicks contractions since no pain? my doc told me when we have contractions our tummy will harden to like the back of our palm (xoxo's doc said as hard as bridge of our nose) and then it will repeat itself, and frequency becomes more regular, and duration each time gets longer. that's when you know, its contractions.

Hello people! It seems so exciting, everyone is talking about contractions and when bb is coming. Have not been logging on because I was quite busy with work. In fact about 3 weeks ago I was so upset because I was under so much pressure to deliver my assignments before I go on ML. Was royally p****ed off actually.
Anyway for me the went for a check-up on Thurs after seeing some stuff come up when I went to pee and there was a little bit of pink. Doctor said I was 1.5cm dilated but nothing has been happening! My mum put me under house arrest, wanting me to rest at home. She is hoping that baby will not come out so early even though it's already 37 weeks. So it's been extremely boring for me. Most of the time I am working at home anyway.
Well, hope that all of us will have a smooth and safe delivery!
xoxo, do take good care of yourself wrt to the high blood pressure. Rest more!

I'm the one with no creative juice. So you guys should have no problem identifying me! Prior to this sotong nick, I have been using my real name in this forum. So can you imagine how uncreative I am?! Hahaha
xoxo/hippo,
Guess I'm the only one who is not under home arrest. Still need to figure out where to go tomorrow with Ryan when the men are moving the furniture.
I'm the one who have already booked BW but now, thinking twice about it. Very scare that it will trigger off labor! I want my baby to be born as near to due date as possible.
Seem like there will be a couple of mummies giving birth next week. All the best! It will be an exciting week!

what's BW? bookworm?
ddnikz: Well that means your little one can't wait to come and meet daddy and mummy. Just take care and rest well ok. Speaking about driving, I was already banned from driving since 35 weeks. Sigh..I miss just going out on my own as and when I like. ESPECIALLY NOW!! When I have time!
xoxo: My BP is normal now. My doc gave me velium but I took one and went all weak. So decided to stop. So, all I did was to rest and do things my pace to keep BP normal.
funzee: You are another one bored at home. Hahah...I am in the same fate as you. Resting at home but working too.
Re: Contractions
Maybe they were braxton hicks last night. I was actually contemplating if I should wake up to time them. But then again, I have also heard of some contractions that are painless. So, I am very scared that my sign of labour is this type of contractions..I will be sooooo clueless!
Re:BB Movements
Actually got a questions on BB movements. Do you all time your BB's movements? I could really see my bb's movement going down these days. I know it has something to do with its size and position. Engaged BB also have lesser movements. But just can't help but to find out if there's any norm to the number of movements per hour or per day.

Re swelling of hands and fingers. I've been having that for a couple of weeks. Initially it was on my left hand, so I figured it was because I was sleeping on my left side. But strangely, it's my right foot that is extremely swollen - in fact I couldn't even fit into most of my slippers last night. For my right hand, it got so bad that I could not even straighten my fourth finger. The gyne says it's due to water retention. It's called "trigger finger". He said wait until after delivery. If not better, have to go and see orthopedic surgeon. Think my dad had the same issue a few years aqo.
Tien, regarding bb movts, I don't time all of them, but as advised by the doctor, I keep track of when bb hits 10 movts. If it's later than normal, then have to go labour ward. I also try to see if there is movt every 1-2 hours. If quiet for more than 1 hr, I'll give her a jiggle to see if she moves. At this stage, also impt to check for movt coz bb is big and umbilical cord may get tangled up.

sotong/hippo >> we are unusual that we are hoping bb will stay in there till later! it's like after the pains in the morning (started again right now), i wanted to swallow what i said abt "being done with the pregnancy soon"...so i can be rid of the MS and insomnia...the realisation that it could really be soon....whoa..i really felt so unprepared. exactly why am i unprepared and why i feel this way..can't explain.
if nothing much develops over the next two days, i guess my "hse arrest" can be lifted....
...and the weather! glad i am home today..but now craving for cola slurpee...
loke >> BW = bookworm? hehehe, it refers to brazilian waxing...
tien >> my gynae didn't really fret abt my bp and i guess she's right, rest and relaxation was all i needed. so that picturing of a green green field did help me though from this visit, the atmosphere has changed from how are you to it's time soon yah? get prepared. just that when my pressure was a little high, i can feel it - woozy, pressure in the head, eyes bulged, veins all swollen...i am back to normal now and looking fwd to dinner
nope, not timing bb's movements..just feel general moving abt should be fine.....?
funzee >> i think our pregnancy complaints will all go away once we deliver...don't worry, sure you'll be fine and there's no need for that ortho referral..
ddnikz >> same here! i kinda comm to audrey this morning - it's not the right time babe. seems like it works. if possible, just want her to be an on-time baby..as close to her due date as possible...

I feel so guilty seeing many mummies here doing so much for your little ones. I, on the other hand, hvt pack hospital bag, hvt done up the cot. The only things I hv done thus far are washing of baby clothes and buying some baby essentials such as diapers, toiletries etc.
Hv been feeling very tired for past 2 weeks. I dont feel like going out on wkends and prefer to nap at home instead. Just feel super tired and heavy. Is it the same for you all?
PY>> Cot looks nice! By the way, what's the red flower on the wall? Is it some kind of floor lamp?

tien: i asked my gynae the day before.. yes. contractions can be painless.. these are known as Braxton Hicks..
then i asked if painless.. how do i ascertain i am in labour.. she said..consistent pattern.. close intervals (5 minutes or less) between hardening.. and each hardening lasting 45 seconds or longer......
roxie: my gynae has a better response than 'hard as table' hor?

Great to hear that teng is back to his usual chirpy self. You must be relieved! I guess it is normal for him to be temperamental when unwell or maybe he is whiny as he knows that didi is coming soon.
Thanks for the info on contractions too. Think I must be dead beat last nite. Felt hardening but too tired to time using my phone...haha maybe I should get a stop watch. Been telling BB that if she decides to arrive, give me a sign (like 'show') that I understand! Contractions are too abtract to me hahaha...
jRRt: Drink lotsa water. The weather is nuts!!! Anyway good that it's just false alarm. But did you try to find out what is it? Have you done your swab/Strep B?

PY : nice cot / setup
today had my gynae checkup.
I failed my swab test
. So am on antibiotics
.
Did a Contraction monitor thing. I don't have major contractions only '1' mild contraction during the 20 mins monitoring. So look like my bb is still comfy inside
. During that 1 mild contraction, what i noticed was the tummy hardened. So tummy hardening = contraction?
me oso hope my bb come out nearer to edd or on edd. My gynae seems appalled and asked us y we dun wan our kid to come out sooner. We explained abt my parents coming in nearer to edd bla blabla.. my gynae just say 'u better b mentally prepared' :S
and seems like my bb not gaining a lot of weight. from 2.95 (wk37) to 3.07(wk38). if next week still no gain much may need to induce? :S
me greedy pig. tell u all one silly thing i did 2day. went to do mani/pedi. so pleased w the colours. then went to eat pepper crab. totally forgot abt my mani. yup.. i scratched my two forefingers coat pretty badly *sigh*. Good thing would be e crab was good and my hb arm will not be punctured with too deep a hole during labour
