emily,

wah! ur baby is of v gd weight! =)

how nice to see their cheeky behaviours ya. always brighten up our scan =)



angie,

hahaha. it may be the arm, the legs or the butt. ya. i know wat u mean by loopsided, i have tat always =)

nw is getting cramped for them in there thus they dun move as much lo. else i think previously they can do somersault inside also can. hahaha.

i think the scan can see their actions le. there was once my gal was sucking her thrumbs, another time was putting her hands to her forehead like telling me alamak etc etc.



julbee,

dun scare urself first. see what the gynae have to say.



split,

i think it will be better to get ur hb to talk to ur fil and also u talk to ur maid but keep it frm ur mil la...

whether its true or nt, its better to get to the root of this as wat if 1 fine day only she n ur fil at hm and she accuse ur fil of molesting her or forcing him on her? things will be even more ugly le...

and rem ur maid tat lying abt such thing is a very serious thing.

 

[angiemummy]

Val: haa soo cute...or maybe gynae never tell me wat baby is doing cos he scan then print the photo...all in abt 2mins...when I did the 5th month test, the sonographer got tell us what baby is doing then we can see. I think my boy very active, till now still move a lot but luckily not vigorous movements, more like vibrations kind of movement.



Split: very tricky yr situation, but I still feel clarify better, wait if really like wat Val say your maid start accusing yr fil or even your hubby of molesting or wat then very jialak. Or u can tell your maid to go with you and confront your fil tog abt this incident? If she is lying, she won't dare to do so.

 

[kaylen]

Split:- psps, I type pravina.. Lolx. Hmms, I think angie idea is good, before anything like accusing happened, ask ur maid to go confront face-to-face with ur FIL. If she's lying she don't dare & u can forget abt this maid alrd. Its like she's planning for something.. Hmms.. Get ur husband to be there will be better.. So less awkward..

 

[dollyqueencess]

split : prevent "ye chang meng duo", best to change another maid. to have a piece of mind, you don't have to worry whether will she try anything funny when only left your hb & her around..

 

[greenapple]

Thanks ladies for the concern. Yes, I'm drinking lots of water and had a good rest this morning [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



split - your maid seems like having alot of issues and it can be quite serious this time round. I suggest u change maid to avoid unnecessary stress when u r doing confinement. Also, u can have time spending with your NB instead of worried what she is up for!

 

[split]

Thanks girls for the advise think I'll talk to hubby again and see how

 

[dollyqueencess]

split : have the same thinking with apple, since she's giving you so much worries/troubles. you ought to change her le... she should be there to help you and not giving you extra headache..

 

[bunny_mum]

Hi mummies,



so busy today! all my bosses not in and i have to cover for all. Pop in to tk a peep what went on here and take a breather..so stressed until my tummy abit crampy n back maciam abit sprained during the mad rush this morning.



I also feel baby less movement now. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] at the break of dawn, i suddenly woke up when realise baby didn't move whole night. so worrying..

bb too vigorous, it hurts.. bb dun move much i worry.. so dilemma. baby must be thinking i crazy..



i am trying to find out more about maid hiring and confused with the charges. Do you gals know or have the breakdown of all the charges that we have to incur or pay the agency? And what are the things that we have to provide for the maid and which are the things she has to get for herself?

 

[newtoitall]

hi again,

Doc didnt say too big or too small. hehe.. he said average size. Am 30 week today but tomorrow is week 31. So, mayb that's why bb like little bit bigger.

Am so pleased coz after visit 5 weeks ago, I only gained 1kg and that whole weight gain is to the baby! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Hope I can keep this up! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Oh, think doc not too busy today and plus baby in good position for the scan that's why he took his time. I was also quite amused coz I remember with my other two, after 6months, can't really see anything anymore - dont even have to think abt seeing the face. LOL

I think babies generally face inwards, but today #3 was facing outwards so easier to see.



Viman: Hope things with you and baby will be good soon. Glad you are still positive looking. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Split: Think you should change the maid - whether your MIL knows abt it or not. Coz you sure don't want her to use it against you even if it is not true. I think no point asking your FIL coz he will most likely deny. Just let him know that you guys have decided to let her go coz she has been saying bad things abt him. Then tell him not to befriend the maids too much. If what she said is true, I believe he will know it in his heart - no need to ask him point blank - or it may look like you guys don't trust him.



hi pravina, glad to hear u are fine now.

 

[dollyqueencess]

bunny : different agency has different package.. maybe you can call up & check with them what's their charges like.



usually we have to food and medication for them. As for toiletries, sanitary napkin and IDD card, depends on individual employers.

 

[jan17_mummy]

[dollyqueencess]

auroa : wow... you have indeed bought alot of stuff huh.. where did you go? tampines?

 

[auroa_sun]

dolly, i went simei and tampines only... think i spent abt $200++ today [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[dollyqueencess]

auroa : wow... pei fu... how long did you shop? aren't you tired?

 

[auroa_sun]

dolly, tiring... i shopped fr 10.30am till 3pm.. stopped for lunch abt half an hr and continue again... think i spend more time searching for my girl's friends birthday present tat i din realised tat time flies... now foot abit painful.. haven't not shopped for so long liao [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[dollyqueencess]

auroa : wow koaz... i can't even walk for two hours.. really amazing..

 

[auroa_sun]

actually 3 hrs of walking ard, already feel the tireness and pain liao... just stopped for awhile and eat lunch and continue... i can only shop long on fri now as my girl got enrichment class in her school.. so i no need to rush and got some time for myself....

 

[dollyqueencess]

auroa : even if i would to take a break, i still can't carry on. wish to lie flat and rest my back...

 

[auroa_sun]

dolly, how's yr back? still hving backache? thought after the massage is better? still painful?

 

[dollyqueencess]

auroa : maybe due to sitting/walking in the office for too long, cause the achness.. usually after the massage, i will feel refresh for a day or two.. afterwhich, it's back to the same again.. maybe the gravity infront is getting heavy... my hb suggest me to piggyback my girl to balance up, so my back will feel less tired..

 

[split]

[auroa_sun]

dolly, yr hubby is so funny.. i do piggyback my girl at times.. i find it "lighter" than carrying her in the front but dun overdo it.. just a while will do [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



split, at least the bb is gaining weight. never mind if the mummy dun gain weight.. at least got lesser weight to lose after delivery [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



hannah, yr new maid in? the pain, could it due to sitting posture? I also experience more whitish discharge too.. not sure whether it's normal.. forgot to ask gynae abt it



sh, sounds like u have an eventful for the past few mths.. *pat* relax... glad tat it's over.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



V, welcome [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[buff_iv]

Sh...., just normal towel will do.i went for the prenatal class and asked the physio this qn..coz i had lower ribcage pain on both sides too..so she told me there could be a few reasons..

sleeping posture - could be due to me curling up and hurting my sides, pillow too low too etc.

so i tried to change a little..my leg bent but not so close to tummy with a pillow in btw and fold a big towel to spread across my tummy and rib area on the bed =) just normal bath towel will do maybe u find a softer one k? now my rib is better =) hopes it helps u ease a bit...i know the pain..sleep left also cannot, sleep right also cannot...oh if your tummy is big..you can fold/roll the side of the towel to support the tummy.

 

[blubberish]

Auroa: New maid will only come 10-14 days later. Maybe because i slept on the mattress with #1 the night before... I am so worried that it might be my waterbad leaking... hahahaha.... But dun think so ba....

 

[buff_iv]

oh...happy saturday mummies and mummies-to-be!

[viman]

Morning, mommies.



I'm back in delivery ward for the third time, had some bleeding last night so they're monitoring me here now. Thankful that they didn't have to deliver, I got really scared...

 

[auroa_sun]

viman, any idea what caused the bleeding? take care and rest well [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[greenapple]

Viman - I'm going for epi c-sec for 2nd time. I'm very pleased on the 1st c-sec. It depends on gynae's skill.

Do u know the reason of bleeding? Take care and rest more..maybe u r too nervous.

 

[yaer]

halo mummies,



wondering if you all experience pain at pelvis area??? mine was so painful tat i cried when trying to go down the stairs...

took me 15mins to go down the stair in my house... is tis normal???

 

[bunny_mum]

Hello mummies, any idea if the taka fair carries combo n fisher price products?

 

[kaylen]

Yaer:- I think its common to experience pain at the pelvis area bahz.. Its due to our hormones which make our joint ard that area to loosen.. Sometimes it might be our baby weigh/pressure of our increasing size uterus bahs.. I guess as long not severely pain/bleeding caused shld be ok. But nevertheless, if u r worried/ ur condition is severe den u may consider to consult ur gynae..



My gynae told me it was common & told me nt to walk so much & rest only, when I mention my pain at pelvis.



Maybe u wanna read more abt pelvic pain:- read from babycentre website bahs.. I had most of my preg worries & wad I need/want to know all from there.

 

[dollyqueencess]
