I like the Cheeky Bon bon brand. Is affordable price and is good too. I bought a cheeky bon Bon bed set at expo on oct only less than $30. Now I using the small pillow to let my tummy to lie on it.
@MamaYing: I always greet my bb Good Morning or Good Night to let her know the timing. Hehe.. And I always tell her bb must sleep in the night, and ask her to wake up earlier in the morning to play. Hehe..
@wish_child: Thay so funny hor, bb still growing of coz belly getting bigger la. Haha..
@pyng: Maybe is the same brand which Visha recommended but I can't find it in the supermarkets near my house. Maybe I need to go Giant to find it.
@Sovrana Spa: No wonder your boss said she'll get panick. Haha..
@Reverie Island: OIC.. I didn't know that there are so much ingredients in the longan red date drink. I thought there's only longan and red date in the ingredient list.. Is it cheaper to get the herbs fron Hock Hwa sales than from those TCM hall in the neighbourhood?
@dadnmum: The nursing pillow which you posted looks so soft and comfortable to hug!!
Where did you go for your durian feast? Few days back hubby and I went to geylang but find that the durians were very x and not much ppl eating so in the end we didn't eat any. Try to drink as much water as possible if you're eating them on alternate days as it can be very heaty..

Hi mommies
May I know if anyone of you went for the vaginal swap test? My gynae took for me and it came out that I am infected with Strep B bacteria. Seems its a deadly one.
My gynae has asked me to take oral antibiotics for 5 days but I read that oral does not work as effectively as having it intravenously inserted during labour. Any mommies, esp 2nd time mommies had experienced this? Want to hear your view point...Thanks!

zanta: brown rice with ginger, the ginger is use to expel wind.
i guess why ur mum wanna use brown rice, maybe more natural, not so processed as compared to white rice.
Today one aunty told me red date n longan drink may be delicious, but becos it's sweet, we tend to drink alot. therefore more calories. this rice water not so much calories.

Visha, for the red date and longan drink by right cannot add sugar to drink during confinement. If don't put red date can replace as black date too. My friend confinement lady said when we drink the red date and longan drink cannot walk or stand up to drink it. Must sit down and drink it. But I forget what is the reason.
Mrs Ong, haha ok sure if next gathering if can I pass u some to try. Maybe must wait after everybody do finish their confinement le. Hehe.
Jeanie, how much u do for the 3D scan? I want to do the 3D scan but I feel very expensive. As just took a photo of baby face cost $50.

sovrana spa: im keeping the epi option open.. dont know my pain threshold yet.. i think u can ask for epi on the day itself but if labour is progressing too fast the anaethesist may not have time to prepare and u will have to miss it..
dadnmum: yah lor everytime got many qns but go into the room brain wipe off already.. only thing is dr adrian doesnt really make eye contact and it feels pretty impersonal.. i was really quite irritated when i wanted to discuss inducing with him seriously(i needed a dr's POV on the pros and cons and what are my options since my baby IS a little too big) but all he said was inducing will lead to higher csect rate, i said okay. and he never talk about it anymore and then i kena the 'brain wipe clean' syndrome in the room again and forgot to say i needed to really discuss it with him.

joodz, that's the reason I want to book the epi earlier as I don't want to suffer the pain. For my previous delivery, my gyane booked the epi for me in advance. So when I admitted to hospital, i did not experience any contraction at all cos the epi was ready for me.
Anyway we are almost there, hopefully we have a smooth and successful delivery in end Feb.

mamaying - tks for clarifying the diff between my first skool and little skool house.. got confused by all the use of the term "skool"! anyway, hope ur photoshoot goes well!
Epidural - I tot of booking early also cos some people say if u ask for it too late, the pain makes it difficult for u to keep still enuff for them to administer the epidural.. One qns though, after they hook u up to the epidural, can we still get out of bed to go toilet? cos they will all those strap all those drips and stuff to ur back right? then if we take epid too early and hv to wait for few more hrs till we pop, then if need to pee how?
Just wondering also abt the herbs that has to be taken during confinement.. me not getting a CL and my mum not very sure abt the herbs that we need to take also.. anybody has any idea?

Kinderbueno,
I rem last time when I was on epi, I don't feel the urge to pass urine plus the nurse will not let you eat and drink and I delivered my baby 3 hours later. I guess with epidural you will not feel anything on your lower half body, so you can't come down from bed to walk either.

Cltine: a rountine Strep B swap is done ard 36 weeks.
the antibiotics is to cure your infection for now.
but during labour, doc will still give u intravaneous antibiotics.
the reason is becos Strep B cannot be totally cured.
once u have it there's a chance it may recur..
so during labour they will give the antiobiotics as a form of precaution cos wont know whether there's strep B or not.
and BB will be passing thru the birth canal.

Ah Ching: I’m sure your bb’s weight is growing steadily too Somehow I feel heavier but not that much!! Our bodies are built to take on the dramatic weight growth of our babies without us feeling soooooo terrible...of course, there are still the aches and the pains and the perpetual peeing but I think all of us know it’s worth it for our baby’s health
Wish_Child: Don’t worry, your baby IS growing! Heehee ... even if you haven’t put on much weight, or you feel you’ve been eating too much junk food, somehow our babies are clever enough to take only the good stuff from mummy so don’t worry too much...and it is good that baby is active. I’ve been told lots of movement is a good sign, hehheh ... and I am sure we will miss all the movement once baby is out, so do remind ourselves to savour the moments now!
Joodzjoodz: Same..my gynae gave me the admission letter to TMC as well and asked me to carry it with me wherever I go nowadays. The letter is going to be so “giam chye” by the end of 4 weeks!! Have you packed your hospital bag already? Although the packing list is not long, somehow I feel soooo lazy to be packing the bag, and it’s somehow different to packing for a holiday, u know Like...how many maternity pads to bring? How many nightgowns to bring? How many magazines to bring? I guess whatever I forget to pack, my hub or relative can get it for me later on, but still ... it’s very strange that I am worrying about such trivial things now ...
Choc: I asked my gynae twice at the last check-up whether I need to be cutting down on sugary foods or watching my diet. Because I have not put on any weight in the last 4 weeks while baby has put on more than 1 kg, she said just maintain my current diet. My current diet = small appetite, drink lots and lots of water, hardly any snacking, but so much bubble tea/can drinks! I have can drink or bubble tea nearly everyday Feel somewhat guilty but at the same time it helps to quench my thirst too ... I don’t want to think of the calories so much ... yes, I’m relieved my placenta has moved, although I would feel better if it has moved even further up by next week’s scan ... do u have low-lying placenta concern too? I was about ready to give up hope on it since it did not move at all in the past 3 months. But I hope I have given mummies in similar situation some hope now Zanta ... ur placenta ok too?
DadnMum: Baby at 1.9 kg at 32+ weeks is not small leh! I think that is quite normal, actually ... so if the trend continues, your baby will reach 3 kg in no time
How come everybody wants big baby ah? I actually told myself that when I deliver, I’d like baby to be at 3kg ...then now already hit this mark with 4 weeks to go....gulp....does that means baby might hit 4 kg by EDD???
Reverie_island: For the red date tea, I’m finding the dang shen very expensive wherever I go. The price is about S$18/100g and I’m told must put at least 1 long stick into each batch of boiling for 8 cups...is this true? 1 long stick is >100g, u know!!! So ex!!! Can tell me where you got yours and for how much? The other ingredients I bought already ...
Mrs Ong: My gynae caught me by surprise at last week’s 36-week scan when she wanted to do swab for the B strep too...but after coming home and consulting my baby reference book, apparently this is a common test that all pregnant women should do around this stage. This bacteria is quite harmful to baby but if detected beforehand, it can be treated during labour/delivery so tat the bacteria does not pass on to baby. So your check-ups are once every 2 weeks now? My gynae jumped from once a month to once a week now ... sigh...somehow always fall on a Thursday so got to take leave or time-off...but actually, I’m quite happy for a mid-week break from work YAH! We are definitely in very similar situation with baby’s weight gain but not us (we should be thankful for that!), and also with low placentas that have moved ... ?I hope mine will move abit more though ... coz my gynae was saying they will still have to check regularly during labour to make sure the placenta will not get torn off halfway or something ... so the higher, the better? The Baby’s weight is derived by the 3 measurements of head circumference, abdomen circumference and thigh bone length ... so she acknowledged there is some room for optical error, but she measured many times and so my baby’s estimated fetal weight is somewhere between 2.97 – 3.1 kg. I take it as 3.0 kg, easier to remember But my friend who gave birth recently..her gynae was monitoring her baby’s weight and when it shot up 500g in 1 week to hit 3.9 kg (according to his estimate), my friend had to go for c-sect the very next day. When baby came out, the weight was only 3.6 kg. Could’ve tried for natural birth, hor! But I guess her gynae was also concerned that if baby stayed inside much longer, her weight would go past 4 kg ... sometimes we have to trust the gynae’s instinct and experience.
Re: Epi ...I am also undecided at the moment...my gynae did ask me about my preference last week but I couldn’t give an answer, so she said no rush, can let her know when I’m in labour also can ... no problem with timings n all .. I think I want to try without epi and see what’s my threshold level..if can tahan without, I’ve been told that’s a much better option. Plus I have phobia of being paralysed waist-down, even though it’s just a temporary effect ...many of my friends have used epi with no problem and little side effect ... I think I will just have to be as brave as I can but at the same time, play by ear when the time comes. Is this a wise decision?? Any other mummies have the same thinking?
Enjoy the week ahead, everyone!

Princess31,
Try don't drink so much can drink/bubble tea...once a week should be ok but not everyday. all these have no nutritious at all...and with high sugar level....maybe you can opt for fruit juice or yogurt. they are good for your baby. Just tahan a few more weeks!! Jia you!!
Dadnmum,
No I used another gynae for ny first pregnancy. This round I use Dr Adrian cos the clinic near my house and further more his package is cheap. So I thought since this is not my first pregnancy, should be ok. Like what you said, we only have few more weeks with him, we just open 1 eye and close 1 eye la....hee...
One thing very amazed me is when Dr Adrian do the scanning, the way he measure baby also super fast, I didn't even got the chance to have a closer look, He's done in 1 min. Then he will baby size ok and weight is ok. Nothing to worry !! I see you 3 weeks time. Hahaha...
Ever since I know he is super fast kind, i have told my hubby don't bother to go clinic with me. Because everytime my hubby didn't get to see anything after waited more than 30 mins outside the room.

@mamaying - me worse, whenever i buy tibits or snacks, i will open up and eat but after tat will leave it untouched till expired! That why i cannot buy bulk, if so many of my snacks will be wasted! Hope im not too late to say this but enjoy ur cny cookies and photoshoots!
@wishchild - joking k so dun hv to specially bake for me...hee next time when i got my oven, need ur advice on baking for sure!
@princess31 - precisely and i only 35 wks and my gynae so fast perfomred the strep b test on me! i also feel that placenta the higher the better! Well, my gynae will not comment whenever i go for my check up review, she just say good, good and blah blah blah...she will only comment if i ask qns. Eg, i did not know my placenta was low till i asked her. Then every check up, i hv to ask her my bb wt, placenta lah etc. I mean at least she should tell me so that i know how my pregnancy progressing. My check up review was monthly until wk 29, it becum 3 wks and now turn to 2 wks and i believe after next check up @wk 37, it becum weekly affair. Ya same here, i also have to take leave for my check up and frankly, half of my annual leave are used for checking up. Though i can take MC ocassionally, not good lor. Me too dunwan big bb, best her wt come out at 3kg on my edd! On the other hand, i want to eat sinful food for these remaining few wks coz for the past months,my diet consisted alot of veggies with mininal meat. And i try to avoid deep fried and processed food if can. My weakness is those kueh kueh and cookies which are high in sugar and trans fat so will only touch abit. So now only left 4 to 5 wks, want to give bb eat abit of sinful food lor...but sinful food not healthy! Guess just eat in moderation the best.
@wishchild - joking k so dun hv to specially bake for me...hee next time when i got my oven, need ur advice on baking for sure!
@princess31 - precisely and i only 35 wks and my gynae so fast perfomred the strep b test on me! i also feel that placenta the higher the better! Well, my gynae will not comment whenever i go for my check up review, she just say good, good and blah blah blah...she will only comment if i ask qns. Eg, i did not know my placenta was low till i asked her. Then every check up, i hv to ask her my bb wt, placenta lah etc. I mean at least she should tell me so that i know how my pregnancy progressing.

@wish_child: Hee hee.. I'm doing fine in general. Other than my leg is hurting me. The feeling is like my veins is sprained at the inner thigh. Whenever I walk, stand, toss & turn when I'm sleeping it'll also hurt. And already been like that for 2 months. Gynae said cos baby's weight is on me. Nothing can be done except to bear with it. Bleh. Hope after I deliver the pain will go off.
My baby boy is super active~ Sometimes I'll even feel pain when he kicks too hard. He must be feeling very restrained with space inside. Poor thing.. But still, hope he can bear with it. 26 more days to go~! =p And I've finally settled in buying the baby's stuff. Cot will be delivered on Wed. Hee hee..
Went for my check up on Fri & gynae said the baby's head is very low. Though not yet engaged but I'm so scared. Don't know can he wait till next month. =/ And I've lost weight. So she did a CTG on my baby. Lucky everything's fine. She said might be cos my cough & flu few weeks ago. I was having a very bad cough. But my sil said it's normal to lose weight when nearing delivery though.
How are you & your baby?? =D

Hello mummies,
I was admitted to TMC yesterday due to contraction, discharged this afternoon, have to be on hospitalization leave for 10 days. Friday night I had diarrhea n vomitting, then midnight started to feel abdominal cramp. Saturday morning called Dr. Ang and he advised to go down hospital to check whether got contraction.
When reached hospital, the nurse put me on CTG machine n found out I had regular contraction. Gave me some oral medicine but not help. Lastly put me on drip, then only my contraction went down. Dr. Ang came visit me n did VE check, luckily no dilation yet. I so worried that I will be in early labour cos I only 34+ week now. Then doctor adviced to stay 1 night for observation.
This morning doctor allowed me to discharge and prescribe some medicines for controlling contraction. Now I am praying my bb will be guai guai stay inside me until at least 37 weeks, best is 38 weeks lar.
And the hospital bill is really expensive, 1 nigh stay n some medication cost me 1k, faint.

Princess31: if not mistaken, hock hua has few types of dang shen. $5/100g, $12/100g n $17/100g. ZTP also has, almost the same price. U can check with the shop what are the differences. I also haven't bought, cos dunno which type to buy. Other mummies have any recommendation?

@wish_child: So good!! I've yet to see my baby's hand & leg. I only saw something like knee popping out. Don't know what's that also. LOL~ I'm still waiting to see the hand and foot print. But don't have. =( Then sometimes he'll move until so vigorous that the shape of the my tummy will be flat and my belly button will be sucked it. Haha~ Don't know what's he doing inside also. =p
I've gained 17kg so far, and my baby's weight is 2.4kg. My friend said that's consider light for a boy. Cos usually boy will be heavier. But I calculate if his weight gain is consistant everyday week then by the time full term will be around 3.2kg liao. So should be just nice. Hehe..
Yeap yeap, my email is [email protected]. Thanks!! =D

@Val: Happy to know that u n BB are doing well.. A few mummies were asking abt u previously as we didn't see u here for such a long time.. Hope u will have time to update here regularly again now!
and the worst of all is I gave my boy 3 tight slaps on his cheeks when giving him a bath today.
i have tolerated his tantrums for the last 2 days and just cant control anymore just now.
further coupled with my frustration with hubby.
recently I really feel like the sight of him at home irritates me.
he slept till 3.30 pm today left home right after that and slept till ard 3 pm yesterday..
all he does is sleep and watch his dvds or chit chat on the phone with his frens.
I am really resentful that he is not helping me out when I am already so pregnant...
feel that he does not care abt my son and I at all..

sigh..
also in a dilemma abt sending my son to CC.
seems like there are more things I need to do.
now everyday gotta wash his bottles, towels and 2 sets of clothes, pack his school bag, measure out his milk powder, prepare his snacks etc..
life seem so much easier when I sent him to nanny,
and he has learnt how to scream in CC.. 'faintz'
this is something I really cannot tolerate.
he has also lost weight and got a lot of blue black here and there.
sigh
I wonder if all this depression is due to hormones?

Ah Ching, I believe it's the hormones at work and furthermore, we are near full term and definitely feel tired and frustrated. I was once very depressed too, feeling very 'useless' cos can't do a lot of things. Tell yourself it's just a phase and try to look at the positive side of things. You can do it!

Valeria, I can't find u at facebook. Is it because ur profile is private?
