joyce >> then maybe i should monitor closely on the hardening also.. told bb that he still has a choice if he prefer to come out earlier then 3rd oct... its up to him.. haha.. i have been losing alot of sleep.. menses cramps and hardening n bb still can do the kallang waves all day long. think for first time mummmies like us, its really hard to know n estimate when is the REAL labour signs... gancheong n yet confused! when i go toilet at nite... i don even dare to pee too fast.. scared it trigger the pipping and my waterbag leak.. when i poo poo, i don even dare to push too hard, just in case i push the wrong hole! haha
oh ytd dr woo didnt do the VE for me.. he said will do so on my 37week (next tuesday) and see if have dilated. mentioned that if has dilate already, meaning my induce labour could be a smooth one.. but if haven, i ought to be prepared that there is a 50% chance i might have to go with emergency c-section (if cervix takes it own sweet time to open)
anyway, he estimated bb should be 3.5-3.6kg on 3rd oct.. so it boost my confidence level abit on natural birth.. hope all goes well!! cant wait cant wait!
i experience the lower ab pains n menses cramps at nite too... but after emptying my bladder will ease the pain off abit bit.. have to bear with it loh.. but i cant get back to sleep after going toilet.. sigh, thats y losing lots of sleep!!! i am on leave from 1st oct... hope can sleep well for two days before labour day comes! ;D
the weather is so hot!! i went for lunch and hurried back to office liao.. *sweat*

roxie: why are you inducing on 3 oct? dr woo's recommendation?
he will only be doing VE for me during 38th week (next sat) even though previously he mentioned 37th week can do le. so no VE for me this sat
when i asked him abt GBS, he says no need unless i insist coz results is transient. today clear results does not mean you will not have it when you deliver. oh ya, i also told him about the hardening and pelvic pain... everything is normal -.-"

ginger >> cos bb is abit on the heavy side. he said that if i wait till labour is launched by its own (perhaps 40weeks), i may have to deliver a 4.2kg and will have to go thru emerg c-section (he encourages natural delivery first and cannot then c-section one.. )
so we discussed and he is ok that i induce bb earlier so that i can try delivering bb at a better weight with natural.. but of cos no guarantee lah.. might have to go emerg c-section if my cervix don open etc..
whats GBS? haha yea he is "Mr. Normal"

roxie: my bb's weight is similar to yours... 3.1kg at 36 weeks. shd i be induced too?
GBS is Group B Strep Test which is basically a swab test to see if there is bacteria infection at V area. If yes, need to administer antibiotics prior to natural delivery.

For a moment, i was thinking who "GF" was... until Tien mentioned! hahaha... pregnancy brain cells!!! cannot make it!
babytum
I am the type tt will nvr allow baby to sleep wif maid, all the more during infant time. Due to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in the 1st 6 mths, i think. all the more i wanna ensure baby is nearyby to check on her. wif a maid, she'll sleep like a log and prob will not be affected whwn baby cries. worse if maid gets irritated by baby's cries and does sthg drastic? eeeee, i dun dare. sorry ah, not scaring u but i am juz not so trusting abt maids.
Tien
so wat does ur mum expect at nite? to give ur girl the bottle? a CL shld not interfere wif the way u wanna baby to b handled. who is she to tell u owise man?!
"feed from one breast and express from that breast" means after latching baby, empty tt same breast by expressing... this is to ensure tt u "drain" out all the milk so that ur body receives the signal to produce more milk.
dun stress urself in the 1st mth when u r still trying to get the hang of a routine. u might wanna start expressing aft full mth when u roughly hv a routine in place and u can start to express.
PY
real contractions are painful and they r dead regular. mine was exactly 10 mins apart to begin wif, then it was 8 mins. when i say exactly, i meant EXACTLY. i used my digital watch to time then coz i wasnt sure. the real contractions r slightly more painful than menses cramp but bearable. but when contractions come, i will curl up like a prawn and used breathing to cope. I had a few false alarms b4 the real contractions came & had cold feet oso. but surprisingly when the real moment came, no cold feet anymore. so dun worry!
False contractions (like wat u mentioned) are not painful and irregular in intervals. they might b 15 mins apart, then later 20 mins, or 30 mins etc until it disappears. there is no trend and u cant predict when the next wave hits. so it might juz b braxton hicks.

Shugar,
How's Samuel? Baby Megan is out from hospital, but we will need to bring her to PD tomorrow - check for her jaundice. Megan is drinking about 50ml per feed, but very slowly, sometimes take up to 30-40mins.
Anyone has good suggestion on how to handle the elder child's jealousy with a newborn sibling?
My elder son is 3yrs old, very jealous and we caught him trying to hit the younger mei-mei.

jRRt>> hmm.. okie.. how about letting maid sleep with her from yr 1? or u think it's safe to leave her alone with a baby monitor of cse...
im so afraid that i dunno when real contractions are and then later reach hospi too late for an epi (is that possible?).. i cant live without the epi... since im workin till d-day, im just afraid my waterbag break in office or contractions come during a mtg..

JRRt: funny thing is my mum wad the one insisting on getting a CL. She was the one who found n book one for me. Cos she wants me to rest at nite witj the CL taking care of the bb. Actually all the while I know I want to try feeding the bb at night but just couldn't get her to understand. Anyway I'll just treat the CL as someone to give me a crash course on handling bb. As for who is taking care of bb at nite, once bb cots position is fixed in our room it is impossible to move. Just hope I wun go crying to CL to ask her to take over at night.
As for GF's routine, will surely take your advice. Won't stress myself up. Probably will print out that schedule m paste it somewhere to remind myself haha..

oh.. celline.. u were the one who i wanted to congratulate.. but i forgot ur nick
congrats on the arrival of megan
hmmm.. have u been telling ur boy that he will have a bb sister soon? .. i read and was advised to have a gift exchange in the hospital .. so that the elder dun feel that all the attention has been taken away from him..when all the adults fussed on the newborn.. similarly.. the same thing should happen at home.. i am trying to remember that.. my boy has a mild temper.. and he has been sayanging my tummy 'didi'.. we try to bring him along on gynae trips .. but coz he has classes on sat mornings.. then a bit hard also.... dunno how he will turn out also..
but i guess. till 6 mths.. the infant pretty much sleeps and eats.. so meanwhile make it a consious attempt that it is ur boy first?
jrrt: heh..
ha.. in general i am an okay person.. but after having been screwed by confinement lady the last time round .. i realised.. confinement ladies need to be more professional to respect the suggestions of the mothers also.. so i concur.. kekekeke..
tien: eh.. ur mother is not happy with u feeding the bb inthe middle of the night.. or she expects the bb will sleep through and wunwake up for feeds?
hippo: it is ok.. i dunno what i am writing anyway!! just wanted to tell u that that element of 'demand latching' is covered in her books lah..
xoxo:i am like u..i need some research before i feel confident to rattle off.. i also prefer a certain order and not 'live by the moment' kind.... but do trust urself that once u get the hang of it.. u are able to manipulate the timings to suit ur needs..as long as u grasp the piniciples of bb sleeping patterns and their feeding timings.. the timings are 'non-essential' in GF once u get the hang of it..
look at ur family habits and plan the schedule of the bb around ur family hor.. not the other way round..
i lovemaxmax: what is ur hb's surname? i also having problems with my son's english name!! :S
hey.. ur names are nice.. another suggestion from me.. mervyn?
clumsybabe: drink some warm milk before u sleep? i was told that can make u drift off to sleep relatively easier.. though i have not done that. i am dead tired all the time.. i just concussed.. :S
noms: ok. i see..
eh.. i dunno why but i am brooding at the computer again! i completed my tasks at work.. yet i am not happy? haiz.. me going sot sot again...

Celline
yeah... i heard about the gift thingy too... so mayb you should prepare a gift and give to ur elder son on behalf of mei-mei. he will soon learn to appreciate her
Astro
hb's surname is one of a kind - 'Ter'. It's 'Dai' in chinese. so kinda difficult esp when paired together with the surname... sighz..
hehe... thanks for your suggestion. I've got a couz by the name of Mervin, so I guess that's why I ruled out this name

haven't been checkin in to the forum frequently cos' been really busy at work - tryin hard to clear all my work within these 2 weeks ..still contemplating whether to stop work on 2 Oct even though EDD is 18 Oct.
not to mention my home PC is down!! (of all times). been naggin my hubby to fix it asap, else i will foresee BOREDOM during my confinement period
astro>>it's inspiring to read your long post about caring/feeding the baby according to the methods. maybe i shld go borrow the book and read up.. have been reading my "what to expect when you are expecting" for the past 7 mths inside and out...not the best book around - but i guess reading and preparation before hand helps a lot
joyce>>congrats! by the way, i rem you mentioned that you also had borderline issue with high blood/low amniotic fluid - i guess it didn't matter after all - given your smooth delivery
so it kind of put me at ease
re: contractions
have also been askin arnd the office these few days esp. with my really bad menses-like cramps. but a lot of mummies assured me that real contractions are WAY more painful than menses cramps. so i guess we shldn't scare ourselves unnecessarily
i wish i can stop work now and jus stay home and sleep. realised i sleep better in the day now (with 2-3 hours nap during weekends) as compared to the night.. wonder if you gals experience the same
oh yah, does anyone know any website where i can search for translation of chinese hanyu pinyin names to e.g. teochew dialect names or hokkien dialect names? hehe

celline - someone told me once tt ya can buy a small gift that your boy really likes and then give it to him, saying that it is actually from his lil sis, then he will not feel too jealous of the lil sis..
another thing that was observed with my cousin (not sure if it applies to most kids in general or only him alone), tis when we visited his place for his younger bro's 1st month celebration, some of the aunties kept telling him that 'your brother looks so cute, can i bring him home?' then in the end, this elder bro was suddenly very proud of his lil bro and viewed him as part of the household and will stand near the baby cot to ensure that no one really carried his lil bro away.. haha.. tis quite cute tho..
hope that all'd be well with your son and daughter and that your son'd love his lil sis and gradually accept her into the family.. =)

haha.. the translation of my angel's chinese name to teochew is so funny.. i think i'll just use the hanyupinyin..
Astro: well my mum wants me to rest really well during confinement. She said it's the time when u either break or make your health. So having a cl means I can sleep at night. But then if I want to bf, even if I let bb sleep with the cl, I will still hv to wake up to pump the milk so I thought I
might as well hv bb with me and latch on straight. Been assuring her that I will sleep in the day with bb
to compensate my lack of sleep.

Have gone to taimaobi for chinese name yesterday and got their reply today. Orginal price $88. I have $8 discount voucher(if engaged their service within 7days after child borned) so ended up paying only $80. Seem to be very reasonable price. They provided 5 names that u can use and 10 individual 2nd character and 10 individual 3rd character. So combo will be 105 names that u can chose fm. That's alot , isn't it? they can provide within 24hrs which is pretty fast. U gals can take a look at their website if interested. Anyway, they hv a branch opposite TMC.
Sotong mum,
Did not use the contact u provided as i found the price pretty steep. Anyway, thks for your help

ginger>> depends on yourself loh, cos gynae say tat i can wait till full term - 40weeks. but u know he encourages natural birth right? so if i wait till then, he say i have very high possibility to have emerg c-section..cos he estimated bb's growth these few weeks to reach 4.2kg and above if hit 40weeks. which i don't want to. but he say that if i induce, the success rate for natural birth is higher but no guarantee as still have to depends on cervix opening and position of bb's head..
Can't reali comment much on anything else cos i'm checking via HP and v hard to scroll up/down and comment one by one. Oh, but i did see beautiful baby rooms!
Lovely! Will catch up again later perhaps... Me still at home, busy wif household chores etc etc. Been lazy to take out and switch on laptop. Maybe will try catch up wif more of e posts tmr after my gynae check-up. Take care ladies! Esp to those experiencing early labour symptoms. I'm hoping my baby stays in for 2 more weeks. As close to EDD as poss wld be best cos seriously NOT looking fwd to e extra busy2 and sleepless nights. Hehe
Later ladies!
