(2010/07) July 2010 MTB


serene, no need to be malu. it happens especially in the 3rd trim. i'm always very terrified when i sneeze cos a couple of times, i also pee on my undies. now i wear panty liners just to be safe. my ms not too bad, but some food i can't take, 1 bite and i feel like throwing up. then i know must stop eating.



dq, ica, my mil always want to know bb's weight etc when i c gynae. but will follow your advise, next time just say ok, average. she thinks my bb very small cos i only gained 2.5kgs. i thought bb's weight 2kg at 34wks is ok leh.

 
I also pee-ed a few times when I cough...though I've been doing my pelvic muscles (kegel) exercises quite regularly.



Hmm...maybe doing it wrongly? heehe.

 
sito -- yeah, dr ang also told me 37 weeks ok to induce if i want to.. my next appt is 11 june.. i wanted a later date but missy say gynae wants to see me then.. keke.. i think cause he gg for holiday ba?



babycoco -- i also dunno why, but i know if i tell my gynae i got MS, he sure very happy one.. cause he will say its a good sign. but i feel super terrible... i puked quite a lot jus now.. feel like wasting money.. and pee-ing on my undies.. i tried to wear panty liners but i will have increase in discharge.. so i stopped.. cause im worried that the heat will cause infection...

 
babycoco,

you can also add that "gynae said 'good, good, everything's good'". hehehe



Serene,

try doing kegel exercise. really helps. once i also peed on my undies when sneezing. then i started doing kegel

 
Avent pdt: Wah.. so cheap ah.. I wanna go.



Serene: Haha!! I also dunno how to grip lei.



Kepsis: I think in mid June should arrive according to the thread. You bought the rattle ah? I bought the worm. hehe!!

 
ica, i told her gynae is very happy with the progress of my preg, not concerned about my weight gain, said bb doing very well, but maybe mil thinks she's smarter than gynae? know better? hahahaha

 
ica -- haha.. i only know my SIL ask me to flex the muscles "there" so after delivery wont loose loose.. haha.. everyday flex 10 times.. lol... i dunno lei.. it jus leaked.. and nowadays i feel that the weight is adding pressure to my "there".. then i feel that something inside is opening up.. i hope its not dilation.. that would be too fast.. i have another 3 more weeks.. and given that i had given birth before, dilation will speed up faster..



cant wait for my next gynae check up to see the condition of the pregnancy and my body...

 
hi mrslong,

thanks for your info..i think is the price cheaper than msia..



hi babycoco,

i think ur bb not small lah,is normal size..im in my 35 weeks pregnancy now,bb abt 2.2kg nia..but i rather the bb small a bit cos easier to come out later since my size is small too..

my edd is 4th july, but doc said bb might come out anytime after 17th June as she alr partially engage..cham,not yet pack my things and wash my night gown :p

 
Jellypurin >> Aiyah...if u hv told me earlier, I can get my HB to help u buy just now.



Actually tdy's newspaper ad put 1st 50 customers enjoy special price for some items advertised by the vendor....not true one le.



My HB checked with one vendor for an item and she said it's special price throughout the BB Fair, not only tdy.

 
Jelly,

is that a good car seat? the deal looks good



babycoco,

hahaha! ya la, some old folks dun believe doc's words



Carol,

at least you have your nightgowns already. i haven't even bought them



Serene,

books say to do 3 sets of 10 repetitions each. try increasing the frequency lor. eh! i also felt like down there is opening up, like something is poking out. i only started feeling this yesterday, after gynae told me baby's head very low - maybe i too imaginative

 
junie

really? then maybe i may go tmr



ica

the carseat is not bad... but i think for infants, buy better one...am buying for #1 so i think okie...

 
ica -- its not imagination ba.. do u feel a piercing pain down there when bb move? i do lei.. machiam she using her fingers to dig thru.. sometimes i will jokingly tell hubby that dunno whether we will see her fingers when i pee or not..

 
Jellypurin>> But for the car seat i dunno if it's only tdy or throughout cuz that vendor is only referring to her ad :p



But still no harm going dwn tmrw to check it out.

 
jelly,

oic. ok. thot of buying that for baby



Serene,

no piercing pain but the feeling was like something round poking out. so fearful that she really wanna come out. so i told baby it's not time yet, and no more such feeling. hubby said better to hug my tummy tight, so as not to let her come out yet! i looked at him..duh...

 
Wow, all your babies have nice weight leh.

Mine is only 2.1kg at 34 weeks. My gynae said it’s not a big baby but told me not to worry cos she will be just nice at around 3kg when she is born. Then delivery will be easier too.

But I am hoping she can be fatter so i kept eating ice-cream, durian etc, end up I was the one piling up the kilos instead of my little one!

How come my baby dun wanna absorb???

 
Sweetkiss,

your baby's weight is ideal. so no worry. my gynae always says that baby should weigh within the normal range for easier delivery, and whatever happens in utero will affect baby's adult life, eg. big babies have tendencies to become obese kids if we dun jaga

 
Serene: I feel the piercing pain which u are talking abt. I was wondering if my boy's finger was digging underneath or not. Haha!!

 
Does any mummies has pain/ache at the area underneath where the shoulder blade is?



I dun hv back ache but hv the underneath the shoulder blade area ache & tail bone pain. That's strange le, esp for the former.

 
Ann: I bought e rattle n e worm. Hee...



Jellypurin: if u want I can help u buy, just tt u might have to get someone to collect for u later cos I'm not driving today.

 
hi mummies... went for my 32th weeks checkup on tuesday.. bb is only 1.6KG.. my gynae commented he is skinny... made me worried... he gained 600 grams since 28th weeks and I gain 1 KG...



I told gynae that my appetite almost doubled lately and i really ate a lot.. but only gain 1 KG nia...my doc commented that usually at this stage will gain 2 KG.. then it further sadden me...



made me kind of worried cos he said he is skinny.. haiz...have tried to eat more meat liao... and drink more milk.. hopefully he will reach near 2 kg 2 weeks later at my next checkup...



felt sad and cried after reaching home and told my hubby dunno my work stress lately had affected bb growth bo...haiz...

 
ica: hope so, hope everything will be just nice...



very happy, managed to cancel my flight which i booked b4 i was preggy and got back full refund in voucher... but need to utilise within 3 mths though the travel date can be 1 yr from now. i can bring my baby since she will be 1 yr old by then, but hard to plan where to go sooo way in advance. which holiday destination is friendly for bringing a 1 yr old?

 
coolqoo (coolqoo) - when i visit gynae on wk 32,1day he expect my bb to be 1.5-1.6kg leh..



in the end, my bb is 1615gram eh.. my gynae say ok leh... hmmm.... i also scare bb small.. but i tink my genes all not big de.. over 2.5 i happy liao.. now praying for that...

 
coolqoo : Don't cry. Still have time.My dietician told me yesterday that at this stage we have to drink 3 cups of milk daily to get enough calcium n protein. You may like to try that. Also, try to eat red meat (well-done) and more fish. As for durians, you can try but if diabetic..better aviod k!

 
coolqoo, don't be sad. you still have time to fatten your bb up. 1 of my gf had to eat ice cream everyday to fatten up her bb & by time bb born, almost 3kg.

 
coolqoo, dun cry and dun be so sad over your baby's weight. You are only 32 weeks now and you still have 8 more weeks to go....



Did your gynae say the weight is a cause for concern? If not, then dun worry.



The weight is not the be all and end all. What is more impt is the baby's health and devt.



I also had a small baby (2.5kg) for my #1 and my current one is 1.8khg at wk 33. My gynae says its probably due to genes.



Anyway, despite the small size of my #1, she has grown to be a healthy toddler and has met all her devt milestones. Also, i've read somewhere that all babies will catch up on their weight by the end of their first yr regardless of how much they weighed at birth.



So dun fret. You and baby are doing fine. Stay positive, ok?

 
hi mommies~



wah today i finally took out all my baby stuff to sort and wash... so hard work! Just newborn clothes + towels + blankets itself already 1 whole washing machine load.. oh my gosh! I think I bought too much haha.



All im left with are the perishables.. cotton wool, cotton balls.. etc etc.



reg baby size:

my baby also small I think.. 1.8kg @ 33weeks. However, i am not small size and my hubby is also quite tall and not skinny type. So i'm not sure why bb is so small!

 
makes me worry liao leh.. mine is also small one.. but gynae nv say anything lei.. but tat time i go geylang and eat durains, see if bb catching up the weight a not...

 
coolqoo,

dun be sad. skinny doesn't mean underweight. baby's weight will increase rapidly in the last few weeks. can try durians only if you're not diabetic - they really add on to baby's weight. and dun worry that you're not gaining weight as per textbook. could be that your metabolism is high or that you've been active lately lor. even when you're stressed at work, your baby seems to be doing fine

 
Kepsis: Haha... no wonder! i thought u shop until dun wan leave keep staying there.



Jaclyn: Aiyo! u say cotton ball then i remember i haven't buy it lor. haha! later go buy.

 
Can I know why do we need to buy cotton wool and cotton balls? I didnt buy because I dunno what to use it for? Heehee..

 
Mommies,



Talkin abt small baby, i tink i have the smallest one.Just a mere 1.42kg @ WK32. I cannot feel all the braxton hicks contractions, tummy tightening and bb movin around tummy that all of you are having. I only feel light kicks all these while even at Wk 34 now. and when i ask gynae abt the light kicks, she kept assuring me everything is ok except bb is too small.



With regards to diapers, what are the quantities you all are buying? Coz i scared i buy too much..How many packs of new born will u be buying?Will you be getting other size too?

 
minmin >> Cotton ball/wools for cleaning BB's eyes. Some also use it to clean BB's buttock if dun wanna use wet wipes.



Eunice >> I bought 2 NB diapers x 24pcs p/pk & 1 S x 44pcs diapers so far.

 
thanks for all the encouragement!!.. ... will try to drink more milk and eat more meat..so far i only drink 1 cup of milk per day...so must drink more liao..... erm.. and does eating Yogurt helps?same as ice cream ma?.. cos i got craving for YAMI yogurt every time after lunch....almost everyday wor...





i tried to avoid durian cos i tend to get heaty easily and i scared my sugar level... only slightly managed to pass my urine test every checkup...



my gynae got comment that since this is the 3rd one, by right usually will be bigger than my 1st and 2nd.



My 1st is 3.43KG at birth, 2nd is 3.26KG at birth...



hmm.. seems like is a downward trend... hmm..maybe i shouldn;t think too much...

 
Don't worry too much on BB'S weight coz bb will put on weight easily after birth.



My worries are opposite from you guys, scared BB's weight too big.coz I wanted a normal delivery so DR said have to keep BB's weight at 3kg.. have alot of craving but so sad cant eat!!!



1)My breakfast is MILO Ksong half cup with no sugar cereal/ 2 slices of wholemeal bread.



2)Lunch- Half portion of Brown RICE with 2 veg



3) Dinner- FISH soup/ Brown Rice with 1 meat & 1 veg

 
Mummies,

since we're all getting ready for labor, I just remembered something - be very wary of your waterbag bursting. In my course of work I came across a lady who waited till a few days after her waterbag burst to go the the hospital because she felt no labor pains. End up her daughter was disabled for life. So we must be able to differentiate between waterbag bursting and uncontrolled urination if it affects any of you. And I feel, should avoid swimming during this trimester too in case it breaks when you're in the pool which makes it hard for you to detect.

 
hi mommies,



do any of you have the list of wat to pack for hospital bag? Suddenly feel I should pack it now already. So sorry , i tried to browse back but can't find the proper post from the sea of posts.



Thx for any help

 
Funny thing is that how come I lose weight, how come BB's weight still put on ???



24 weeks- BB 600g ( Dr said BB weight normal)



28 weeks - BB 1.4kg ( Dr said BB abit too big)



31 weeks - BB 2.3kg ( Dr said cannot BB too big, suspect my sugar level high, so send me for the test)



34 weeks - BB 2.3kg ( Dr said good to maintain BB'S weight)



36 weeks - BB 2.78kg ( Dr said ok, but I lost 1.5kg became very skinny.total weight gain abt 6kg for myself)



Dr said its good to lose weight now, den confidment no need to lose weight already..what a joke!!

 
<b> springleaf <b/> >> oh dear, she waited a few days? by then infection goes in oredi that's why maybe BB's affected.



I think if anything unsure, better call the hospital. So scary.
