(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

Junie: I am also curious how does BH or contraction feel like? So far, I dont feel anything. Dont even know if baby is turning down or what?



Eliss: Where can I find the BB Fair's ad? Straits Time or where ah?

 


babycoco,

if not following diet strictly, then at least cut out sugar lor. for me, after the initial blood glucose test at gynae's clinic was ok and baby's weight was normal, i let loose a bit, thinking everything would be ok, that it'd affect me when i'm older but not baby. now, baby's weight is 4wks ahead, like a full term baby oredi!

 
minmin>> I also dunno if BB's head down oredi or not. hehee.



U can find the BB Fair's ad at the Straits Times Lifestyle section. Think from tdy till 6 Jun, everyday also have advert on their daily sale.

 
Minmin, Mrslong

If you lie down flat and wait for a little while, you can actually feel your BB's head rise up to form a bulge. Or you can gauge your BB's position from the kicks. The head will be in the opposite direction of the kicks.

 
time passes by so s-l-o-w-l-y today.



Looking forward to my gynae visit tmrw...wonder if BB has put on an acceptable weight gain or not & if he's doing well in my tummy.

 
Ica, YES! My friend was fuming and she even went down to TMC to complain.

TMC then suggested they send a nurse over to observe the CL.

My fren says how to? Things happen at the spur of the moment (say late at night) and it is at the moment that the CL is at loss of what to do.

Example bb crying, CL asked my fren, what to do ? Why is bb crying?



The CL is clean and pleasant but I guess just not experienced enough to TAKE CHARGE

 
Serene: Feel a ball between my legs? I already feel like having a ball there liao. Haha!! So should I sit down and make sure I am able to grip my tummy with both legs?



Junie: Contraction or BH is something like tightening of top muscle of your tummy. You can feel it becoming very very very tight and hard. When u press on it, cannot even press down one. Then sometime it is accompanied by menstrual cramp like feeling at the bottom of your tummy.



Motherhood fair: I wish I could go.. sob sob.. sound so attracting.

 
springleaf >> Oh ok...but sometimes the movement is up & down also have. so maybe BB's still lying across my tummy....:p

 
ica, i was like you too, when i see my blood test result ok, i also stopped following the diet too closely. luckily my bb ok, in fact, she dropped from 64percentile to 55percentile. now i worry if i still follow the diet, then next visit, she'll be below average. what a headache.

 
pillow,

wah! that was bad. baby cry dunno what to do? wonder whether she was dozing off when she attended the lessons...



babycoco,

oohh, you've given me hope. now i'm back on my strict diet again. hope my baby's weight will normalise by wk37 or just slightly above avg

 
Hi all



Went for check up today. I'm now 32wks (8mths) & BB weigh 1.7kg!

Doc say gd size for natural from the BB progress. I think slowly gain should be 2.XXkg by the time i'm going to give birth. At least not so big or else very hard to push. Position also very good, head down alrdy since last visit & today. So excited!



Gonna try get all my left over items during the motherhood expo fair & GSS.



Braun thermometer i think UNITY is having discount and if u go on thursday to buy got extra link points to earn! Hehe. Gonna get it from UNITY because it comes with a 1 yr warranty.

 
actually this bb weight thing is such a headache. my mil is convinced that the heavier the bb, the healthier, better it is. she thinks 3.5kg is the perfect weight. so now it's like my fault that bb is not gaining weight fast enough. not true, right?

 
babycoco,

not true la. my niece was only 2.6kg at birth - healthy wert



but my fren remarked that bigger babies are easier to take care? dunno what she meant by that - i just nodded my head

 
during my check on Wk 32, bb head still at my right side leh.. wonder when he engage..

ceres ng (ceresng)- Mine is 1615grm during Wk 32, 1day and Doc say normally should be around 1.5-1.6kg.



So i hope for natural birth but must bb co-operate to engage down..



this 2 days i feel menstral cramp eh.. but during at night only... then i try to sleep and im able to. so, should be ok bar?



Cos what i noe is contraction pain or so cant fall asleep one marz..

 
babycoco>> weight of BB also depends on mummies' size, i guess.



besides i think i read somewhere, too big or too small BBs also no good. So doesn't mean heavier is better.



as long as BB's healthy can oredi...so dun get too bothered by what your MIL says.

 
ica, mrslong, you know how mils are. sigh ... sometimes so scared to talk to her. seems like everything i do is wrong. told her bb kick so hard it sometimes hurt, her eyes big big, like never heard of such thing, ask me is it normal? she has 2 sons herself, don't tell me when she was pregnant, they never kick her?

 
hello mummies...

bz wk for me... mia-ed again...



babycoco>> next time juz tell ur mil 'everythg normal'... when she asks u abt ur chk up.

juz say 'everythg is average/ abv average'.

hee... tat's wat i say.

then my mil will 'orh'.. then case closed! yay!!



oh ya... mrslong, u gg for expo lata?

updateupdate on gd stuffs ya?

 
babycoco,

like DQ said, no need to give exact answers lor, as long as you answer her questions. hahaha! dun worry la. btw, does your MIL ask you or you offer to tell her?

 
ica>> bigger babies easier to take care? My HB's friend who gave birth to her daughter few yrs bk, weighed close to 4kg @ birth.



Big baby and so heavy to carry until my HB's friend has to undergo physiotherapy for her arms leh.



babycoco>> Maybe your MIL doesn't have that experience of getting hard kicks?



My MIL during her pregnancy also never experienced any nausea, fatigue, etc in her 1st trimester and she was suprised why during my 1st trimester, I'm like experiencing such symptoms....



DQ >> I'm going tmrw with my HB but my HB's there now with a colleague to check out the early buys for tdy liao, haha.

 
kepsis>> got wat 'gd stuffs'? big anot?

worth to go?



ica>> hee... ya lor... tat's wat i always do. cuz no matter wat, mil is also not our own mum... not as close to divulge so many details. cuz the more they kno, they'll ask more..



mrslong>> ur husby so on!!! can still go there w his fren to chk out early bird purchases! =)

so sweet~~

my husby not free to go w me... so i'll b gg w my sis lor.. n he hates crowd.

duhz...

 
mrslong,

physiotheraphy for your fren's arms? yikes! skali my baby also like dat, cham! me and my mom both 5'2" only



your MIL didn't experience MS doesn't mean everyone's the same mah...in fact, she's the lucky few

 
Cheese: My Doc say still ok. Hehe. As long as Doc say ok i'm at peace.



Kepsis: got what diaper shell or diaper to buy? Brands & price? By the way the fair started? thought on 6 Jun?



Mrslong: My doc also commented big dun mean gd. She say base on her experience those BB big when growing tend to not grow alot but those smaller one grow faster & bigger later. I think maybe too big then like cannot see much of the progress.

 
hi all..thanx thanx! yes i'm resting at home now. nice but bored. wish can go GSS...



babycoco : I also in same dilemma. When I watch my diet strictly, bb not growing fast. Then coz I'm gg for C-section at around 37-38 weeks, scare bb too small n later not enough "reserves" to wait for milk to come in. I'm also worried that with C-section, I'm unable to nurse bb n by the time I regain consciouness, she would ve been formula-fed liao



ICA : wow your bb put on 1kg in 2 weeks! mine only put on 400g while I put on 600g in 2weeks leh. Somemore I got control my diet leh



cheese: I was thinking the same way as you. If got cramp but can sleep then it should be ok. But when I go see gynae the next day n did the CTG, it's really contraction leh. It is better that you inform your gynae coz contraction at this stage is not too desirable coz we are not full term yet.. bb better dun come out so soon!



mrslong : I asked gynae same question. All she need to do was to touch my tum tum and she can tell if there's tightening/contraction. For braxton, you can feel tumtum very tight n hard. Not painful. Maybe uncomfy the most. Juz put your palms on yr tumtum n feel. As for contraction, it feels like menstrual cramp but it could be very intense and very pain like how I felt when I go swimming or after VC.



Btw.. the fair at expo starts today or tomo huh? my hubby is sick.. no one to company me.. think i ve to give it a miss.. but i still have some items to get leh..

 
ME also through out 3 pregnancy no MS. Only found out pregnant when bb almost 10weeks if not still dont know pregant due to irregular period.



OLD people say if no MS during pregnant high chance it is a boy. So when i no MS i roughly expected 45% boy. But due to pimples and skin discolouration during concieved till 4th month i thought it is a gerl. 1st and 2nd son my face sooo nice and glowing. This one i look like i need a shower 5 times a day man!



Neck and armpit sooo dark. Feel so sad. Gynae says the colour black will slowly be back to normal after birth. So no need to use expensive bleaching product to removed the ugly colour.



For big babies, my 1st son was big 3.75kg, after the 1month check up he is almost 5kg, we never carry him around, most of the time go out he will be in stroller. At home only he got chance to be carry when bathing and burping. We use rocker and stroller to entertaint him. EXHubby carry also hand tired so thats why we try not to carry tooo much. The one that carry him after i went to work is my exmil. The effect for being a caring grand mother, is her both knees become pain in long run. SO my exsil and exbil blame my son lor for their mother knee pain.

atomickitten,

my baby's weight gain was not good. 500g/wk is overboard liao. i cheated on my diabetic diet. carb intake i controlled, only the sugar part i cheated a bit but not much. hubby and i was discussing about this last nite - i put on 300g but baby 1kg! dunno where she got that from. sigh...headache! hubby said when gynae was checking the amniotic fluid level, she looked quite alarmed. dunno lah, just pray that everything will be well

 
AtomicKitten-i call the missy just now cos my gynae wont be in and she say wk 33 to have cramps is normal..

just that no blood, etc is ok..

DQ>> My HB works near Expo so he went down with his colleague during lunch time just now, hehee.



AtomicKitten>> I see. Maybe tmrw I'll ask my gynae too cuz tdy been feeling tight tum tum at the top but no major discomfort or pain...dunno issit cuz of BH or cuz BB's moving & pressing against the top of my tummy.

 
Ann hahaha.. no la.. dun grip la.. now when i feel a ball there and i grip, bb dun like and she will move away.. when i lie down with legs wide open, she will move back to the "hole" lol..



Morning Sickness -- anyone still having it? its getting quite bad for me.. im puking at least every other day. i jus had some food after prayers at the temple.. cab home and ended up puking at home.. the rice never come out, only the watermelon juice [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



and when i puke, i pee on my undies.. so malu.. i had to shower again.. i feel so "not in control" of myself sometimes...

Kepsis: Thanks! i wan to buy Johnson wipes. Heard now all hospital use so thinking might be gd. Heh.



Later after my Hubby knock off going to the fair see see. So excited. Heh.

 
Overall it's not exactly very big fair, slightly bigger den e previous fair lor.



Ann: do u have any idea when we'll b recieveing the rattle tt we ordered fr the spree?

 
SERENE,



MY coming checkup is MON 7 JUNE,will check with DR again.



Last MON checkup,DR just told me my bb's head not engaged & cervix not dilated..but since got contractions got to watch out for waterbag burst /bleeding den can go deliver. I din ask for induce coz if dont have the above systoms, induce will lead to c section unless BB is overdue 40 weeks.
