En Xuan,
I am experiencing those pains too. I told my gynae last sat, she said the vaginal pressure was due to the baby's head being down low and engaged. I also have tail bone pain when I sit on chairs, all day long. If you are at home, sit on a sofa. or lie on a bed and the pain will go away.

Cutting of nails
I tried using both to cut my gal’s nails and I prefer using scissors as I find it easier to control compare to using a clipper. Filing might be a challenge as the bb will not stay put for u to cut their nails, hence speed, control and practise is very vital.
Gatherings:
Hi ladies, might not be able to join in this 22 Dec as I think its my gynea appt “
CNicole:
So happy for u that ur 2 boys are growing healthy and steadily “>. Try doing some light stretching exercise to ease the backache.
Bigflamingo:
Glad that ur placenta has moved up “>
Felpoo:
Ur hubby n my hubby can be buddy LOL. Both equally ‘Ba’ when comes to details. Haha. My hubby doesn’t even remember when I’m delivering. Sigh. Wat to do, they are the one who we choose out of so many ppl.
Wish_child
For clippers, there are those specially for bb/toddlers one.

@pingping – tks! I hoping more that my bb head will be engaged down coz my gynae said low placenta still can natural birth. Oh..serious can up to 3 cups…hmm can we clear our engorgement within hours?
@Zanta – can’t help laughing when I saw ur post on filing after cutting nails coz u sound like u going to perform manicure for your bb…haha
@cnicole – ya walking too much esp carry stuff or heavy bags can cause tremendous backache which occurred to me. If really need to walk a lot, walk slow and best with no bags. Ask your hubby massage ur back. U having check up this fri as well…same here and do keep us posted on your twins [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

@Charmaine: Haiz.. I do whatever I’m supposed to do lor.. Sometimes when I call for help, people give me that kind of look like asking “is this really that heavy for you to carry?” So I rather depend on myself unless I really cannot tahan the weight.. Nobody will volunteer to help even if they see me walking up and down the office with things in my hand.. They will just pretend they can’t see.. Damn sad to be in this kind of working environment rite.. Haiz..
@WishChild: I have been taking quite a number of MCs this financial year, so even if gynae gives, it won’t be enough to cover till my maternity leave too unless he gives hospitalization leave which I doubt so..
@MooMoo/Zanta: Thanks.. I’m trying very hard..
My HR Manager spoke to me this morning after she interviewed a temp for my position.. She asked when I would like to start ML and hinted that I have been taking MCs quite often.. So I told her my plan was to start on 17th Jan.. She actually offered that I start from 10th Jan – exactly 1 month before my due date (as per MOM law).. I agreed immediately.. Now I can’t wait for the 10th of Jan to arrive real soon..

@pyng: Hehe.. Because when using a scissors to cut nails, there will be alot of sharp edges and I'm afraid bb will scratch her face then got scar not pretty le. But I think practice makes perfect bah, and with the mittens on, should be ok bah.
@bigflamingo: I had been feeling v intense pressure on my vaginal these few days, even when I'm sleeping. It feels v uncomfortable even when I wanna turn from side to side. Does this means that my bb's head is low and engaged?
@En Xuan: 30 weeks seems to be too early wor.. When is your next gynae visit? Discuss with your gynae on your next visit will be better.

BPC : I am at yishun today at MIL's . They started doing cabling works at the blk . Blk 327. I asked the construction worker what the works are for . He said lift upgrading at every floor . They have started drilling the grounds today for cabling and the works will only be completed in 6 months. The lift will be right at the front door of our unit . MIL said the noise might scare the babies . Looks like I need to on the aircon the whole day and close the door to cut the noise .
I dunno if renovation works will affect ur area too.

Eviangal, i'm the one with menses cramp and I get it like 3-4 x a week. My gynae said only to admit to labour ward if the cramp is unbearable or it's accompanied with bleeding. Read the story tat this happened to Jamie Yeo coz she also had menses cramp thus gv birth early. Can check with u - is yr cramp a continuous bearable pain or does it comes in interval? Mine is continuous pain which can last for as long as 7hrs like yesterday.

Charmaine: Mine was bearable and in intervals.. The pain come and go from a stretch of a few hours to a stretch of a few minutes... But it became more intensive along the way.. As in longer and more painful as the time comes.
Before this cramp, I had some spotting.
I had such cramps for 2 days before checking into the hospital for delivery and another 12 hours before baby was born.

Rachel - you are not the only one. Me too has been munching on junk food like chips, macdonalds, soft drinks, coke, coffee (limit to 2 max). Ice cream is a special craving I have during this pregnancy. Sometimes, I really feel guilty.

@wish_child: Thanks alot but I think no need pictures bah coz I actually took moo moo kow's brochure back to read so I know how it look like, I just need to know 1 insert can tahan for how many hours or pee. Did the SA told you about it when you bought it? Sorry for being so troublesome.
@Charmaine: Didn't know that cramps ia also a form of early labour, then you gotta be more careful liao. Rest well and take care.
@PreciousBabi: Kambateh!! In less than a month's time you'll be able to enjoy yourself already. If your office got guy colleagues, maybe can get help from them to shift or carry things? Sometimes guys are more helpful to help in these stuffs.

And sometimes when tossing, I feel pain at my V. area like something pressing hard on it.. Anyone experiencing that too?

Will be seeing Dr Ang tomorrow.. wonder how big is my gal now.
she has been giving me very painful jabs in the tummy lately, like throwing tantrums inside my tummy.
However, can feel that she isnt head down or engaged yet as the movements are all both sides of the belly.
Also dont have the constant urge to pee or the pressure at the v area like before.

for those having difficulty in sleeping.. ive found a very good way to fall aslp.. been sleeping like a baby these past 2 nights.. i put 2 pillows under my head, and 'kiap' FOUR pillows in between my legs as i slp on my side either left or right. the pillows i dont 'kiap' very low.. i 'kiap' as near as possible to my chest.. around the top of my belly.. i think it helps bcos for one thing the pillows prop up my leg and reduce water retention.. and with legs open wide wide i feel 'stretched' and very shiok. and the semi curled up position kind of 'exercise' my back while i slp cos i get back ache when my back is pulled straight. so maybe you can try this method.. only downside is hubby got lesser space with all the pillows and 1/2 of my pillows tend to end up snatched by my hb. but very shiok..

The pain in my fingers seem to be worsening, initially it's just the little fingers, now it's hurting a few of my fingers on both hands too.

@Ah Ching: I also feel pain on tummy sometimes when bb moves.. I think it's bcoz they are growing bigger everyday hence the space is lesser for them to move about..
I don't feel comfortable with 2 pillows leh, coz it will be too high and my neck will be like over stretched.. Causing another pain..
Tummy big means will deliver early?
@Joodz: You are sleeping with a total of 6 pillows?? LoL! Can't blame your hubby for snatching them from you coz if he doesn't, he will end up on the floor.. I am ok with 1 pillow and bolster now.. My problem is after waking up to pee, alot of things will come into my mind which holds me back from falling asleep again soon.. Haiz.. Keep telling myself not to think too much, but can't control leh..

Hi Mummies!
Wowee, I'm really having trouble keeping up with the furious pace of the forum [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I guess we are all getting slightly nervous and all the questions and thoughts are coming quickly ... me too ...
I went for my 32-week scan last Thurs and baby is growing healthily ... 1.8 kg at this stage. I also did the 3D scan at TMC and for $90, I must say it's worth it! Sorry, I just can't figure out how to scan and upload the pic here or I would share with all of you. The funny thing is, my placenta is still low-lying so my baby's face is partially obscured by it..we could only get a 70-80% clear shot of the face, but his cheeks are really chubby [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] If any of you have not yet hit 32 weeks and are considering 3D scan, I'd recommend it. It's really just a fun thing to do.
So back to the low-lying placenta .... my gynae is slightly concerned that it has yet to move up by now, and I really wonder what the chances are of it moving in the next 4 weeks. It currently sits just 2.5 cm away from the cervix opening. I'm due for another scan on 6th Jan, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Otherwise, it'll be a c-section for me, probably at least 2 weeks earlier than my EDD of 5th Feb.
Actually, thinking about it a little more, whether natural or c-sect,I'm terrified both ways!!!
Ah Ching: I think your EDD is identical to mine, if not one of the closer ones. When are you taking ML? I'm having trouble planning my ML and so far, my boss is also not showing any indication of which of my colleagues will be handling which parts of my work when I'm away.I asked her in Nov and she said we can talk about it in Dec. Well, it's Dec now [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I guess it's up to me to make things progress, but the trouble is, without knowing whether I'll be doing a c-sect (earlier date) or natural (EDD 5th Feb) then it's a little tricky to plan things. Anybody facing similar problem? Looks like things will only be clearer after the 6th Jan scan, but by then, if it comes to a c-sect, that means I'll be looking at about 21st Jan. And if I plan to take 2 weeks of ML beforehand, that means once I get the results of the scan, I go on ML straightaway??? Suddenly everything seems to be moving at lightning speed ...
Any of you mummies keen to share your ML dates and plans? Perhaps that will give me a clearer idea of how to plan mine. My preferences are to take ML 2 weeks before delivering (whether c-sect of natural) and I calculate I need about 1-2 weeks to do a proper handover to my colleagues, and my HR also needs me to submit ML 1 week before I go...
I've been having lousy quality sleep the past 2 weeks as well, sigh. It's mainly because I keep peeing, about 4 - 6 times a night. A "good" night sees me peeing 2-3 times, while a particularly "bad" night I could be going 6 - 8 times! Nowadays, I go to bed by 10.30 - 11 pm and I'm up by 6 am to get ready for work. It's really getting to be quite a challenge!! I'm looking more and more like a panda each day...
I see some of you have already packed your hospital bags ... I'm going to have to look into this! Haven't even thought of which bag to use, and then for hubby as well. I'm opting for a single bedder at TMC because I'd like my hubby to be with me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] This means I gotta pack his stuff and bb stuff too!
My cot is being delivered this afternoon, quite excited. I'm on MC today and yesterday because 2 nights back, I had something dodgy for dinner which caused me to vomit 7 times and LS 7 times between midnight and 2 am! Wow, I never vomitted so much in my life, not even during 1st trimester. Finally, my hub brought me to the 24 hr clinic at 2 am and the dr gave me an injection to stop the vomitting. I've been on MC these 2 days (yday and today) and taking my charcoal and other medicines to stop the unpleasant symptoms. However, my tummy feels so distended and uncomfortable (imagine baby and bad gas inside!) and I'm slightly worried baby is feeling the effects too. Sigh! Plus, really no appetite to eat already. Yesterday, I weighed myself and saw that I lost 1.5 kg. I think is mainly water coz I puked alot of it out that night. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] But the good news is that I seem to be sleeping much better, prob coz I'm not running to the toilet to pee so much!! Haha [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I hope all u mummies are coping well, and hopefully the excitement of greeting baby outweighs all the uncomfy side effects for now!

Hi Mummies!
Regarding ML, I plan to take 1 week before my EDD. My EDD is 15 Feb, will officially take ML from 7 Feb Monday, but since 3 feb Thur is CNY day 1, effectively my ML starts on 3 Feb. No low lying placenta so need to consider whether need emergency C section early. Wanted to take ML as late as possible cos I want to spend as much time as possible with my baby before returning to work.
