sandy, think nurse will shave me before i deliver... but like i said, i'm afraid the stubbles will make be uncomfortable when the hair starts growing out lohz.. heard waxing regrowth slower n finer....
siri: Dr did not mention weight but 2 weeks ago he told me baby should be about the same weight as my no.1...about 3.5 kg thereabouts at full term. Hehe, I also asked him csect must do swab test meh? He said yes, cos they will still need to break the water bag for c-sect operation and if there is any bacteria in the vagina, it may still infect the baby, womb and csect wound.
oh csect also needs swab test. so far my gynae never say need to do swab test leh. me now 35w+, next week gynae on leave and my next appt is at 37w+. csect scheduled on 38w+, dun know still got do swab test or not.
I think depends on your gynae lor, how careful he thinks should be. I have done swab tests for my previous c-sect too. You can see this article -> http://parenting.ivillage.com/pregnancy/pcomplications/0,,3q5s,00.html. Says "A cesarean delivery does not prevent mother-to-child transmission of Group B Strep."
So Iris, don't worry, think your gynae knows what he is doing. Perhaps because you don't have history of Strep B for no.1. (?) cos caesarean delivery low risk of Strep B transmission.

Jeanie : Your bb really big hor? But hor i think bb wgt shld not be concern right? Is the head circumference as the head need to be pushed out first, then the rest of body will be easy to come out le. This is what i think. Hee. Actually i also scared scared. haa. Cos for my #1, her wgt is only 2.46kg, Dr fong said jus right lei. Now he said 2.46kg too small. Alamak. But luckily my 2nd princess is already 2.7kg as at last appt.
