suika, ya will check with gynea tonite. Jus a bit worried loh. Cos last fri I have tummy cramp that feeling like going to poo but nothing come out in the toilet. My sis say its contraction. After that I'm ok liao but the sharp pain in V-area started after that once a day. So quite worried.
suika,
She just came out, no MC or hosp leave. Only give her 2 kind of tablets to consume to cure those ugly scar on tummy that causes by the last week's cream.
She was instructed to stop the last week's med / cream as well.
Gynae mentioned bb is fine, but duno why lose weight. Guess she need to rest more liao.

jascmy,
dont worry la, u might be experiencing BH only... I have it too since past 2 weeks...
this is what i read about mucus plug...
What Is the Mucus Plug?
The mucus plug is exactly what it sounds like. It is a concentration of mucus that is deposited in the opening of the cervix to block germs and bacteria from entering the uterus.
During pregnancy, the mucus is clear and would look much like a woman’s normal vaginal discharge. However, as the cervix begins to thin out and blood is released, there will be some blood deposited onto the mucus plug. As a woman’s cervix opens she will begin to lose the plug, either in bits of stringy, blood tinted mucus over a period of time, or all at once. This can happen up to two weeks before labor actually begins.
The loss of the mucus plug should not be confused with a woman’s bloody show which occurs during labor as a woman begins bleeding prior to delivery. The bloody show will be obviously different than the mucus plug as it is mostly blood and very little or no mucus.
When Should You Call Your Doctor?
Generally there is no need to call your doctor or midwife when you begin to lose your mucus plug, assuming it is clear or just has a little blood showing. Of course, if you feel any concern or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact them. You can also mention it to your provider at your next visit. You should definitely contact your provider if the mucus becomes extremely bloody or you continue to experience discharge. It could be a sign that labor has started, or it could also possibly be a sign of a complication like placenta previa or of a placental abruption.
ahnah,
dont worry abt bb losing weight as jascmy had mention that bb will get the necessary nutrients from mummy's body...
mummy's weight will go up and down but shouldn't have tremendously drop... if only slight, the weight might be hovering around there...
also, bb's weight is only estimation based on tummy size... usu different angle of measurement will aused a different...

jascmy,
if it's really contraction, u'll have to monitor the frequency... even if u called up your gynae, he'll still ask u what's your frequency... so just monitor, it has to be consistent... sometimes don't go hospital too soon, as i know some mummies dilation is very slow...

i had this pain last saturday also. it's like pressure on the bone area, and gets worse when you need to exert strength on one leg at a time, e.g. walking, changing position when lying down etc. but i die die wanted to go vivocity to meet friends. in the end it got so bad i cldn't even walk and nearly fainted (dunno why). maybe baby pressing down on a nerve or blood vessel! your v-area is which part? the opening or the bone?

ahNah, my weight hor. it is like a roller coaster as I told haitang. cause it can be 500g more at night, then another 500g less in the am.
so overall not putting on on daily basis, everyday up and down. go toilet come out lose another 200g, something like that. so 100g is very subjective to what we wear, our water content, etc. most importantly bb ok from scans.
but if spread out over 3-4 weeks, should see some gain in weight. so monitor bb movement is more important to me now. if bb not moving, i will keep waking the bb up to move. sometime really dun move for half a day or so de. sigh!
my auntie lagi steady. her wieght was 50-51kg before preg, then preg liao lost weight (bb ok, still gaining) and she delivered baby with her last weight 51.5kg. baby 3.5kg. so amazing. and practically she lost weight over the 9 months. like that also ok.

jascmy: I believe so. I just got scanned last friday and gynae told me my baby's head is down already.
saffy: I experience what you had too. Was so bad I cannot even stand. had to go lie down on one side on the bed for a few hours before the pain subsided.
My gynae's advise is to walk sllllooowwwwly at this stage.

morning mummies & daddies!
just an update for those int in donating their bb's cordblood to a public bank. i've called up SCBB.
re travelling to london within a yr, its true that they used to have this condition but they have since do away with it 2 yrs back so it doesnt affect us now.
i'm currently in my 35wks. they said its not too late for me still. they'll ask a variety of qns (pre-screening) over the phone & if u passed them all, they'll arrange for u to make 1 trip down to SCBB (located at KKH, women's tower, lvl 1) for an interview. hb need not be present if u r able to answer queries based on hb's family side of history.
my hb & i will be making a trip down this fri for an interview. a blood test will be taken on the day of delivery. we'll need to bring along our Oscar's / DS reports (if any) & blood test results (done by ur gynae previously, if any) for their review.
hope this helps. regardless if our bb's cordblood will be accepted, we are happy to be able to do our part to help contribute to a gd deed & perhaps save a life somewhere. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

We need to contact you after your 32 wks of pregnancy to do aPre-screening Evaluation - This is required to ensure your eligibility &suitability before proceeding to the next stage of donation
