(2010/10) October 2010 MTB


Cherry, I open and see, and did a water test with both nuk and avent teat. nuk got water drip wor. avent I test a few times dun have. Funny....



So I want to ask those who buy avent teat is it we must cut the hole ourselves?



I got 2 diff size avent bottles which comes with the teat and both teats on the bottles no hole...funny......

 
apple,

pigeon also has a teat name 'y teat' , it means non-leak teat or anti-milk leak teat. that's mean if BB dun suckle, the milk will not flow out automatically, milk will only flow out only when BB sucks. this way, BB is e one controlling the suction n milk flow. While e other one is milk will flow automatically even without BB suckle. Some flow is too fast for BB to manage, in e end newborn BB will choke or milk will overflow out of BB mouth during BB milk feeding.

 
hmmmm.... I found tt today is a lil quiet eh...



Welcome Claudia n congrats !



Your gynae practices in both hospitals? Choosing on hospital is personal choice , you must go for a visit before deciding !

Sounds like a lil late to arrange for a visit ... But no harm trying .

Most if us here is either at MAH or TMC!

My gynae only practices in between these 2 mountains which is MEH n MAH! I chose MAH because I felt extremely comfortable when I went there for a visit ! Rooms are new n clean n food are good! Sisters, nurses n midwives are experienced n nice n most of all ... I was very well taken care of the last time when I had my first child [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Traffic around tt area is not tt bad n it was kinda convenient for me to travel there the last time!

Though I ve since moved to the East, I will still go bk to MAH as I had a wonderful experienced there!



Will leave TMC to some mommy to share with you.

Your Gynae gave u a choice on these 2 hospitals? Most private hospitals are v competitive in services n prices wise is not much a different.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi every1!

been a loooooong time since i've posted but have been reading. sometimes the thread goes so fast I don't know what I last stopped!



The twins are doing well. I am 32 weeks today and will be seeing my gynae on Monday. We booked 10/10 to have my C-section, when I'll be 37w2d. My next "milestone" to cross is to have both of them hit 2kg. Then I can heave another sigh of relief. Getting heavy & hard to walk around!



Kudos to all mummies who've made it this far! For those mummies who need to rest please rest as much as u can!

 
pinky



Wow! I was thinking about how you n ur twins is doing? Great to hear from you again!!!

Glad to know u guy are doing well [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]you must be tired by now as your load infront is double of wat we have...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Take care....[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
morning mummies and ian!



pinky, good to hear that you are doing well too. Does your gynae charge extra for operating on a sunday?



going for my gynae check later today. last night, my pelvic pain was horrendous... heard a loud cracking sound as i turned. sigh... think I walked too much yesterday.



cincin, i did my strep B test last week at week 34. just a swab at the vagina. Don't think she did the rectum swab. Can't see anyway. :p

 
Breech position

Last week i went to gynae bb was in breech position then this week 34wks i went bb head down already bt not engaged yet...so want to tell mummies whose babies are currently breech there is hope for turning. Prayer, talk to baby it really works!!!!



bibizai

i also have GD and i know it when iw as about 30 weeks. Then yeah my bb at current 34 wks estimate to be 2.4kg. I have lost 5kg since i started on the GD diet. Think u can eat more pork, chicken and fish to beef up baby...those durians and high fat food cannot...sad to say...drink milk? Maybe u can consult gynae then what can u eat to beef up bb...but dun stress urself to much on the weight...maybe eat sleep eat sleep can help =)



cincin

yeah i also did my strep b and the process somewhat similar to doing papa smear...not to worrie...very fast one...

 
Had a bad night. Keep waking up n checking baby's movement. I think I super paranoid now. Must calm myself. I think I will go crazy if this goes on. -.o" jia you, jia you.

 
Hi gals, I am still on MC. Nose still stuffy and still coughing. I thk I better skip the lunch today, dont want to pass u girls the virus. Was looking forward to the lunch [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Good morning mummies and ian!



Thanks all for the concerns! Im already back home last nite for bed rest [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Ade,

Yes i have contraction every 10mins whick may leads to threatened preterm labour as my mucus plug has already disloged, doctor has given 2 painful steriod injection to muture baby lungs just incase really preterm. Am fine now already under control with nifedipine, so now cross fingers to tahan till 28 Sep for my scheduled c-sect.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Apple

Avent teats are all means for non-leak teat, milk will only flow out when BB sucks, if not it will not flow out automatically, this is to prevent BB with milk overflow or choke when during feeding.

Like what cherry suggested, try out the test again by press and release the teat a few times, im sure u will see water flow out of the hole [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Also babe, u r just worrying too much le. Pls do take your medicine regularly for the contractions as avised by your gynae. Even my doctor keep telling me to take regularly for the dosages given and dun try to skip even once. SO be good girl k...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



To ladies for the gathering later...

Too bad i cant joun u all le..think we can only meet up again only next year! Nevertheless..enjoy the big feast! Cheers!

 
Gosh so scary to hear the stories abt pre term. I have been having tummy tightening a few times in an hour,not continuously only like a few times a day.gynae gave me some med cos he says might lead to preterm. I have not been taking them,but now I think I better take them!



My Edd is 10 oct but doc also say expect late sept..and my tum tum is very very low unlike my first.quite scare that I will deliver in office. My colleague delivered the day b4 and only took 2 hrs!!it's her 2nd baby too.

Zuen, I was like u last night. woke up in the middle of the night poking my tummy to feel the little one movement. so paranoid after knowing the dr diagnosis. whatever it is, God is in control. we must trust that He's watching and guarding our little ones safely. Kao Zu Xi Le okie [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Morning all ...



Looking forward to the lunch later!! Just finishd a morning meeting and so irritated with it ... anyway its Friday!! Dun care abt work liao ...



re: Strep B



My gynae does it for me and for both round I have the infection. Have to go on anti-biotics and they will inject anti-biotcis before the delivery. After that they will either give the bb a jab or they will look out for some signs ...



Wondering if I should tell my gynae to just skip the test since my last delivery was March last yr ... dun think there will be any difference right hahaha



re: nursing bra



Finally got an email from MIM and that they are processing my order. They are now having a sale for nursing bra and nursing wear.



http://www.momsinmind.com.sg/dropcupbras.html

 
Alo ladies + Ian,



oooo.. today you all meeting for lunch hor...

Have fun!! Gynae say I can only go shopping after i reached 35weeks... keke... can we meet again then?? haha... 3 more weeks to go! Counting down...counting down...



Anyway, after checkup yesterday, sneaked out with hubby to buy some yarns to crochet, managed to drink my coffee bean, got my library books, buy my jelly beans... haha... super deprived sia...



The moment I stepped into chinatown point and saw shops, my god, I was like... "wow... it has been so long since I last saw SHOPS!!" haha... hubby was laffing away...



After walking "a little bit MORE" than usual yesterday (actually it is more like my 2 mths of walking quota), last night was total shack out... now here pain there pain liao... jialat... BUT DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! haha... me sound so desperate! *blush*

 
Thks ladies for ur replies on strep b.

D day is coming & I'm still feeling queasy abt showing my bits to my male gynae! *blush



Babydes,

I oso got butt pain but it's on the the left.

It comes & goes off fast. Not sure if same as ur exp?



Vivian,

u so funny! Hahaha.

Nowadys I dun enjoy shopping anymore!!

 
Morning mummies and ian,



It's Friday!! and my last day in school.. hurray!! My holidays officially starts next week before bb pop. Hope that can finally have a good rest and not so much aches and pain.



Re: How to beef up baby

I think probably drinking milk and eating red meat helps? I have been drinking the Annum Maternal milk ever since preggy till now. And also hv been trying to eat more beef cos of the iron content also.

I did not put on much weight. So far abt 8kg. So think most of the weight went to baby.



Re: pain

I'm also having pelvic pain and it is a torture trying to turn in bed every night. I usually need to get up from the right to go pee, so got to turn from the left to the right. That is so painful!!![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Good morning mummies & daddy



Mummies who are ordered by doc to rest, Cyn, Vivian, Irish, Apple (hope didn’t miss anyone out cos the list is very long to track back). Please rest well and guai guai listen to doc, just a few more weeks to go only.



Mummies going for the gathering have a great time and enjoy yourself. Do take photo and upload on FB for sharing, ok?



Shin, hope you recover soon.



Cheery, how are you, your due date is soon right?



Zuen, try to eat more fatty food like ice cream and durian? BB also a little light during my 31 weeks visit, he is 1.6kgs. so I eat more ice cream – magnum plus appetite also increase so bb put on 800gms in 4 weeks. Will your new maid arrive in time? One of the agent I enquire has increased their fee to $600+ due to the shortage.



Etelle, hang in there for bb, only a few more weeks to go 



Babydes, take care.



Cin Cin, I did the strep b test on wed too.



Suwaiwai, you take care and rest well too. Cos doc gave me the same adv if I don’t want to have early delivery. I’m still hoping for Oct to deliver.



Trish10, try not to walk or overwork, must take more rest. That’s what doc adv me too.



Xin2, I have pelvic pain too, especially when turning during sleeping. Sometime can’t even turn must wait for a while. Good on you no need to work liao. Have a good rest then.



Been really busy at work thus only got time to read and no time to post. Hope to get past next week smooth sailing. Have a trade/consumer event next week and I’m the organizer so super busy lor. But hor I need to learn to slow down and take it easy, cos doc said on Wed that bb head is low and engaged liao. I also panic cos many things not done, I’m fortunate to have an understanding boss and he said to have a meeting today or Monday with the team to split my job. Aiyoh, I very paiseh to go on maternity during the current peak period. Hubby also panic a little and manage to clear the store room and wardrobe for bb. I have to start packing my hospital bag this weekend.



Today 1st day of 35th week. BB weights 2.4kgs on 34w/6 days. I put on 2 kgs last 4 weeks and total gain is already 12 kgs.

 
Hi Mummies,



Congratulations on your upcoming arrival of your child.



I am from June 2010. I had this confinement nanny for 40 days and booked her again for late Oct/Nov to help me introduce solids to my son. But I found out from paediatrician that I should wait till February 2011 to introduce solids.



So this nanny is available now from late Oct till late Nov. She's a very good cook and really loves babies, took care of my baby very well that's why I re-hired her.



I feel bad delaying her by a few months, so I told her I will try to find another employer for her.



Pls email me at [email protected] if you are interested to speak to her.

 
momotan: me too! so far, there hasn't been much "showing" to my gynae but with due date looming closer, i think we'll be doing lots of checks. =_= so pai say! hahaha! and not to mention the actual delivery. sigh!



but when i selected my gynae, i did not let gender play a factor in my choice.. i thot i will be "da fang" enuf.. hahaha.. now gettin more shy even tho giving birth is a very natural process. =p

Momotan my pain also comes n goes fast but sharp pain at duno which angles. Really hope it will go away soon. Affecting my movements. Trying not to move ard too much.

Now got stuffy nose, cough plus painful butt.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Lilbluey, Etelle,

The woes of internet lor. I got so stressed up after reading about about low amniotic fluid off the net. Ignorant may really be bliss in this case. Hoho. Dun worry, I feel better today already. :p Trying hard to take things easy as well.



bibizai,

Yes, I agreed. Felt more at peace after praying about it this morning. Hopefully I get better sleep tonight, hehe.



Diveera,

So your maid come in liao? I haven call my agent today. If the maid will be stuck, then only God will noe if she can make it in time. Not even sure when my little fella will come out.

As for fod intake, I had chocolate ice cream last night liao but I dun think it is bcos I am not eating enuff. I already put on 11kg liao but bb not absorbing. As per my last pregnancy, if I continue ti anyhow whack food, I think high chance that the weight will go to me instead of baby. Will see what the gynae says next week after the detail scan lor. Hopefully, I can keeo the baby to full-term. Boohoo, I want to have natural birth leh.

 
good afternoon mommies n Ian



Waiting for the rest to turn up! Haaa... I'm early !



Strep B test

Ermmmm... According to my doc, it is not compulsory but because there are too many patients requested for the test over the years, therefore certain hospitals changed the requirements that it will be part of ore natal check!

If in doubt , check with your gynae![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Irish

I'm glad that you are resting at home now!
