Hi Shannen,

TQ TQ! Oh wow! Tats alot to pack!



Anybody know how much to store the cordblood? I heard there is a annual storage fee?

 
Oh I packed disposal undies, nursing bra, breast n santitary pad, baby go home clothes set, receiving towel, doc letter, camera, Ic, credit card, tooth brush n paste.. Is it all?

 
Cartier mummy, there are 2 company to store the cordblood. cordlife and stemcord. yes, there's annual storage fee. but if u hv referral will be cheaper. you can approach the salesman for more details. my last pregnancy i store the cordblood with stemcord. this time, i still thinking is it neccessary to store for 2nd cordblood or not.

 
Trinket, u have the same edd date as mine. Haha mine also 19feb. Eviangal in facebook name call Vivian Teo.



Oh my 32weeks bb weight 1.9kg. Doc said bb is above average. Hehe. Next appointment is 2weeks once. =) Just asked my gyna my pelvis bone getting more and more painful he sai it normal as BB weight getting more heavy. Haha I gained 3kg. Haiz hmm but bb are healthy and head down le. But position still not fixed yet. My gynae said will be fix position around 37weeks.

 
Hi Shannen,

Is there any difference w cordlife and stemcord? How do i get this referral?

If im not wrong, i think store 1 is enuff... ??



Hi wish child,

I think at 32 wks weighing 1.9kg shld be normal bah. Mine at 33wks weigh 2.3 - 2.4kg nei.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] gyne say normal lei...

 
By the way, do i need to remove nail polish b4 i admit to the hosp? Many ppl told me to stop pedicure from now on till after birth

 
wish child



congrats! that's a good weight for bb... wah so fast you see gynae then report to us already.



position still not fixed... but less and less space to turn around right? 36 weeks is considered full term, and some ppl deliver then, so I suppose might not be till bb fixed position then we deliver!

 
SLim, Never it ok we meet again on next gathering. =)



Slim & wenzi, Added u both at facebook le.



Cartier, Oh my gynae said my bb bigger than average. I hope my bb can gain even more weight. Haha want her be chubby chubby.



Trinket, haha. But i feel she already head down and fixed position as i always feel her kick above my belly. Haha.

My gynae asked me whether i having lot of white discharge. I said yes and sometime will feel itchy. So he given me some pills to insert into the virgina. He said better kill all the germs before it affect the bb. =)

 
Hi wish child,

Yah.. easier to carry too.. Really ar? So did yur gyne ask u to cut dwn on food?

http://www.babyplus.com/

 
wishchild,trinket,

Oh do u mean that bb head dwn position doesn't mean fixed position liao?

At 30weeks, my gyne told me bb getting ready le.. head dwn liao.. so i thought its alr fixed??? BB will shift position again?

 
just came back from NTUC..



mummies the cotton balls (100) going at $1.85 for 2 packs. quickly go grab it!!



i also bought laurier superguar as f not on promo.

got the 2 pack 34cm, 2 pack 24 cm

2 pack sofy long pantiliner for light flow

n 1 pack kotex maternity

total abt $30.. saw the look of the cashier.. ha ha

also got sofy night 28 cm from col storage which having promo.



i think i've bought most of the things, now just got to put in hospital bag.

 
cartier mummy: some mummies i know go get their manicure before going hospital as they want to look nice ;)

so guess not necc to remove your nail polish.



n baby position not fix at 34 weeks.. usually after 36 weeks or when they get engage.. that means hea go into the pelvis liao.



stemcor n corlife 2 companies..

baby only 1 cor so u choose one of them.



the cost is $250 annual fee + GST (same for both)

the first payment is abt $1600 + GST

 
now going cc to pay $$ for my son to start cc next week.



i expect I'll be popping nearer to 5/2/11, so got 1 month for him to cope with cc..

hope i'll pop on 3/2/11!!! then go on newspaper. yippeee

 
Cartier, Hmm doc never asked me to control my diet. Haha think he already give up le. Hahaha as i gained really a lot on second trimester and he also cannot ask me to go on diet and slim down. haha.

About the bb head down i'm not so sure. As i asked my gynae just now whether bb already fix on this position and wont turn & move anymore? He said now bb stil have space to turn so the position not fixed yet. Waited around 37weeks bb position will fixed. By that time bb have no more space to toss and turn in our womb. =)



Wenzi, No problem =)



Ah ching, Wow cotton balls 2 pack for $1.85 what a steal. Hmm 2 weeks ago i bought $1.20 for 1 pack cotton ball. Haiya i should wait for the promotion.

 
removal of nail polish:

hihi, u will need to remove before the operation. if not, the nurses will remove for you too.

reason being: just in case should anything goes wrong (touchwood), the nails will change colour and they need clear nails to observe any signs.

 
@trinket, @SLim: my EDD on 17 feb, I haven't packed my hospital bag as well. Saw the post that pootz delivered at 31 week, I think we better hurry up to pack the hospital bag.



@Ah Ching: wah, the cotton balls promo really a good deal. How many packs do we need to stock up? Do we need to buy those sterilized cotton balls as well?



RE: Baby Position

Heard that baby's position will not fix until 36 or 37 weeks. They can still turn around right now. The head will go into pelvis after 36 weeks, by then only their position is fixed.

 
Ah ching, I bought a roll of cotton wool too. But that one must roll myself and also bought 2 big packet facial cotton wool. hehe i think should be enough for the time being.

Oh giant sell 1 pack cotton ball(100pcs) for 91cents. But compare the quality i bought at fairprice. Fairprice cotton balls is more good. =)

 
grace



i think 4 packs for a start. I don't think they need to be steralised ones. the last time i bought annaku brand which was on sale at Taka baby fair... this time, haven't bought yet! NTUC here i come - thanks for sharing Ah Ching!

Live report: Massive warm gushing bleeding right now. 34 weeks 6 days. Counting hardening of tummy. Gd thing we have the hospital bag list. Running through with Hubby now while I lie in bed.

 
Doing what doc say. Count the contraction. If it start increasing plus bleeding don't stop, call him again. Likely early delivery [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
gushing bleeding? means waterbag broke ya...
