(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

atomickitten,

are you still taking all those food that you've listed? all high in sugar and carbs woh..but the interesting one is the "hosp diabetic western full din" - the reading is so high! even my reading for the OGTT at 2-hr interval also not that high leh



cut out: noodles, fried stuff, coconut milk. take brown rice (1/2 a small bowl), oatmeal for breakfast also good



my gyane oredi told me that if my control is not good, she'll put me on insulin. yikes! am trying to avoid that

 


ICA- Oatmeal no sugar. Plain as i drink low fat milk 1 cup to go with it.



Lunch for rice is normally i request half bowl only, the aunty selling the food remind me that i am pregant should eat more. I told her i cannot eat rice too much cause i worry bb weight too big.



Vegetables i choose are those stew vegetables. Even fish i choose those non fried ones.



I cannot take coconut milk cause my Blood pressure will Shoot up.



I just hope that BB will corporate with me till 18th June.

 
Gynae Check Up -- 34weeks going 35th..



Baby Weight - 2.5kg (800g in 3 weeks)

Mommy Weight no gain.. in fact lost 0.2kg.. total so far is about 4.5kg gained..



Dr Ang say, bb will be abt 3kg - 3.2kg when she pops.. not engaged but heads down, which means she is ready for natural delivery. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Dr Ang will be away from 18th - 22nd June and i have to go down to clinic weekly for CTG until delivery.



Got my admission letter, any signs of labour, i will have to admit myself liao.



Gynae also mentioned that baby is at a healthy weight range.. im going for induction but must see cervix dilate or not.. we will be monitoring closely but he didnt check for dilation this time round...



cant wait to see my little girl.. we saw her suck thumb when we did the scan.. so cute.. keke..

 
suntan>> sure!! ask ur colleague along bah! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



mrslong>> hee.. ur husby's a fast learner... @ least he rems to care abt u before bb now [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



f8 PS>> i also prefer BG over SB. SB is like so far can? tink we can brg our passports go jb aft the shoot liao. hahahahah...



allison got timing mixed up for my fri's shoot..

now pending for her to recfm my slot.

 
AtomicKitten, your readings are bad! Now cannot play-play, must seriously watch your diet!



Cannot eat yellow coloured noodles such as meepok, meekia etc. Only allowed are beehoon, tanghoon, kway teow, mee tai mak, spaghetti. Instant noodles are no-no!



For white rice, eat only a normal Chinese soup bowl. Each portion of rice is equivalent to 3 egg-sized potato or 1 corn cob, so you can substitute your carbo accordingly.



For milk, you can only have low-fat, non-flavoured milk (Chocolate and strawberry are killers!). If you take yoghurt, buy only Yoplait Forme coz it has reduced sugar. For soy bean milk, buy only the reduced sugar version.



Definitely no sweet foods like ice cream, cakes, sweets, pastries, puddings, jam etc. No chicken pies, waffles too. Be watchful of creamy stuff like cream sauce pasta too.



For Chinese soups, don't put red dates inside or any of those dried fruits, makes the sugar level go up too.



No fast food, fried, oily food, and no coconut juice or coconut milk in foods. Don't worry abt not being able to drink coconut juice to make baby "clean". Midwife told me it's old wife's tale. The amount of vernix on the baby is up to individual. The older the baby (closer to full term), the lesser vernix they have when they are delivered coz they would have shedded most in the womb already.



Be watchful of food cooked in sauces like sweet/sour, assam/sambal. I once had baked fish with sambal sauce and my reading was 8.2! My max for 2 hours after meals is 7.



Basically, all your favourite hawker centre food are banned such as chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow, carrot cake. For the sake of mummy and baby's health, we can do it!



And what did they put in the hospital diabetic diet to make your reading so high?!?!



If you are very strict in your diet on a daily basis, it's ok to have a small cheat once a week. Jiayou!

 
f8 mummies,

i also hope is BG rather than SB...

can we vote..hahahah



DQ,

oh dear..hope she confirms a timing soon. otherwise u have to change all yr appts with hair and m&p

 
jelly & grace>> hee... she juz called me...

my slot is at 6pm.

also gd lah.. i can dilly dally whole day aft the lunch.



eliss>> wat time shd i meet u then? since im reachin her studio abt 5ish.. tink u'd haf left.

i'll b at novena sq for my beauty appts. hee...

can meet u ard there?

 
ct

actually, not all induction is successful as well. it really has alot of dependencies. my doctor will not induce me until i am somewhat dilated too... i know of a fren who had a planned induction and the cervix would not dilate enough for natural delivery and in the end, emergency c-sect... so it all depends...

 
Sito -- hmm, at this point, try to visit gynae more often.. did he put u on weekly CTG?



keropi -- normally they go by bb weight at this pt of time to measure the EDD.. but it will still vary until the very last few weeks... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Serene,

yay! your baby is growing very well!



CT,

since your diet's so good oredi, i can only say it's genetics lor. so dun worry ok?

 
DQ - like that ar...then I take the skirt from you on sunday can?



sunday PS - shall we all oppose to SB? kekeke

 
CT -- ya, like what JP say lor.. but gynae say, not say not dilated cannot induce but also must see bb position. if bb position not good for natural delivery, might also end up c sect...



right now, bb's position is good for natural. now jus a waiting game for dilation.. if dilate then it would be the best scenerio.



at this point, bb's weight and position is good, we jus need to maintain and best time to induce is after 37 weeks. so gynae predicting to induce end june lor..

 
Kat,

Cannot take red dates? once for breakfast i had:

bird's nest boiled with red dates, 1 cup milo kosong, 3 crackers and my reading was 4.9



just wondering whether it also depends on how fast our bodies break down the sugars?

 
F8 mummies - I just dropped Allison a sms to cfm my friday's timing. 顺便 tell her SB very far for most of us can change back to BG or elsewhere more accessible, shall see what's her reply :p

 
I prefer BG too. SB is like really ulu...bird watching. hehee.



BTW, anyone has any idea how much Honeypot charges for the full BW now?

 
fazzy>> no probbies [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

im a slow coach.. cant commit to earlier slots. plus ive bked my mani & hair appt in the aftn..

so 6pm is a safer timing for me. juz tat allison needa wk OT for me. hahaha...



eliss>> go test her water leh~

let us kno [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

thx!!

 
glucose reading - actually sometimes i also don't understand. i had 2 slices of wholewheat bread with peanut butter (no jam). and my reading was 5.2. same as when i had 2 slices of white bread with butter/little bit of sugar. my dietician always recommend walking after meal, she said it will help to reduce the sugar level. so now after lunch, i always try to walk for at least 15-20mins. don't eat much for dinner, so not too worried about that.

 
ica, yes it depends on how severe one's GD is.



babycoco, maybe it also depends on how well your body process sugar that particular day? Yup, walking is supposed to help!

 
suntan>> ive included ur 'lil fren' to join us on fri's lunch [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

DQ, that time we went to eat... your friend who is due in June, has she given birth yet? Must update us wor! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
eliss>> im not v familiar w BG leh...

she's in her 39th wk now...

 
Oh Chole's BB is coming out any moment liaoz... but I heard from elderly first BB boy is usually after EDD...

 
eliss>> i wan my bb to b out earlier than my edd leh... wan him to b a cancerian too! like papa & mama [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

hee... ya.. i tink she's feelin v bored at home leh.. waitin & waitin...

but her pregnancy is v v smooth so far.

no MS, no uncomfy, no BH!



i tink our thread mamas all quite 'happening'... quite a no of us haf an adventurous pregnancy so far. hahahah...

 
1st BB Boy is after EDD? Oh dear, if that's true means I hv to wait for another 7-8 weeks?



Was hoping to be able to deliver in my 38th - 39th week, heehee.

 
dq

ur colleague is one happy mama man! smooth pregnancy!



anyway, once she hit 40weeks and bb has no sign of popping on his own, gynae will recommend to induce by 41 weeks or so... scared the fluid in tummy low and placenta is aging so good luck to her!

 
I'm not familar with BG too. Can we just meet @ the main entrance, facing Gleneagles? Then when inside BG, see where to take photos "impromptuly"?

 
eliss

food court hor is at the botany centre side. i think if need to walk there will be about 10-15mins... maybe longer for us... keke...we are all quite heavy now

 
JP - haha I have just looked at the map, my last visit to BG was to the food court...kekeke Good la, after PS, can eat at Casa Verde, heard their pizza not bad?!?! Visitor centre not near Gleneagles entrance right? The gate facing Gleneagles should be TAnglin gate?

 
Eliss

erm not really think it is along evans road... haha... anyways i wrote to nparks and asked them stupid question like can u recommend a few good spots for photoshoot...

 
feeling so excited for the mummies going for photoshoot hahah. botanics is beautiful! there's an ulu-er spot with a nice bridge and pond. or maybe you all can go to the kid's playground area - preggies hanging out with random kids heheh. and Casa Verde pizza is YUMS!!!

 
Ok, me totally confused now. BG Visitor's Centre is where?



I only know the entrance facing Gleneagles & also the entrance facing Casa Verde.

 
Oh ok, haha..cuz thought of another Visitor's Centre.



The carpark for this entrance is the other side..at the back. hopefully i know how to get there, hehee.
