Ritzc: thanks for the post. How does the doc check cervix length? By internal or external ultrasound? I was walking a bit like one bus stop& it happened. The other times while I was having constipation. The gynae check placenta and he said the placenta very low lying. I asked him my cervix open or not. Then he said it's ok. Should I seek second opinion. Every time is light bleeding.

RitzC, Silsilly & MabelCherry, do continue to stay strong & positive! Take care & rest more k.. Jiayou!
Alicia, i also usually sleep ard 1130p-1230a.. reach home quite late after work.. find the nites so short.. dun even have enuff time to surf net to research on bb stuff.. now got additional task to do - eat bird nest at 11pm! hahaha..
Vanessa, my bb is also in breech position.. but gynae say nothing to worry at this pt in time.. only need to worry if the bb doesn't turn by week 36.. lets pray hard together..
Poisedon, how many weeks were u when your bb is 1kg? My boy is 855g at 25 weeks & gynae commented that he's on the heavier side (75th percentile)!!.. but she also commented that there's nothing to worry at this pt unless he hits 90th percentile then i need to test for diabetes liao.. jialat..

Vanessa & Alicia , thanks for the support. I plan to go office like every three or four days a week by taxi($40 cost every day as it fall on peak hrs). I can't be a full time housewife as I need to save for my delivery.

My mum stay near me lo... So she will quit her job to look after my bb
Bird nest
Well....I try to take mine during day time....cos it's sweet and high in protein...prefer to take it while moving so lesser risk on sugar level!
Sleep deprive
I am having difficulties sleeping too... Cos seems like either side also not very comfy already and when I am having a good sleep,I always have to wake up and pee so can't have a sleep throughout night anymore
As for coaxing bb to sleep, try singing a lullaby...have been singing a lullaby since 2nd trim....so when bb hear the song that means it's bedtime!!
Ritzc
That's terrible lo! Haiz.....how come do detail check so late
your gynae is it woolsworth hur??

Mabel, the cervical scan is done by transvirginal ultrasound. I always tell the sonographer that I'm spotting so she will scan outside just outside the private part (labia). Need to clear bladder before that. Even though it is not exactly internal, I still tend to spot a bit each time after the cervical scan. Juz note that even today my gynae did not confirm my spotting is due to cervical shortening. My spotting is all along specks of brown discharge. Now that I'm on progesterone n duphaston n bedrest, I spot only after constipation. So I try not to force myself to move bowel when constipated. Maybe u can call up other gynae to seek second opinion. I didn't coz I'm burning near to $500 per month on weekly gynae visit since week 13 n so long as the gynae start doing things that I felt telly w my 'research' online I'll stick w her since she is already a top gynae w kkh so no point for me to change as I got to stick w kkh in case premmie.
Jingle, I'm just mad coz I walk in nearly every week since week 13 n both she n the 24 hrs gynae didn't think of cervical shortening as a possibility. N all along since she kept emphasizing that it is normal for some women to spot thru out pregnancy, both my hubby n I r convinced that I was too paranoid. So imagine my shock when she told me in week 20 that it is worrying that I'm still spotting n that after my cervical scan that if I gave birth too early my bb will not survive. If I'm getting another kid in future I will definitely not go to her again.

i guess ur gynae is trying not to "cry wolf" too early..she is adopting the wait-and-see attitude and trying not to make you worry at the initial stage also...guess the timing of her executing the alarm bell comes a little late.
sleeping posture
hmm i heard putting a small folded towel or pillow at side of tummy will help us to sleep better as tummy is getting bigger. Anyone tried this?

Lush: my tummy also big...but bb of average only. Don't worry based on tummy size. My tummy also big for #1, but she is only 2.9kg at birth.
sleeping posture: i have a pillow at the side of my tummy but mainly to cushion my #1 kicks. She is co-sleeping with me on my bed. During #1, i will put the pillow in between my legs but this time seems not so comfortable.
low lying placenta: i also have low lying placenta. Initially quite paranoid..but my gynae not very concerned..during my last chkup at 24wks, he told me will move up..and will only check the position at Wk 32. So i also take it easy now.
nowadays i always have pain on my left side of pubic bone when i walk or stand, walk like penguin now..
Especially if i'm at home looking after #1...

Jac: yup let's prya together baby guai guai turn when he/she is supposed to!
mabel cherry: yah just try to minimise walking. is itpossible for you to work from home? if it's an option then prob you can discuss with your manager about it
maybe it's a good idea to go for second opinion if there's constant light spotting and your current gynae keeps telling you it's ok...
moscato: i'm walking like a penguin too! tummy bigger and heavier le..haha
(X): thanks for the review on baby bjorn! will check out the other brands as well
jingles: i don't drink aot of water at night thus don't wake up to go to the toilet yet..maybe you reduce your water intake at night so don't need to wake up? singing lullaby to baby is a good idea..i shall go learn a lullaby and try..haha..tell you if it's working

jingles: Where u bought ur bird's nest from? Eu Yan Sang has non-sweet, reduced sugar and with rock sugar type. So if u're afraid of taking too sweet, u can buy the reduced sugar one. But don't ever buy the non-sweet one though coz my friend told me it's basically tasteless.

kekekeke eh try not to walk like a penguin..remember i share the right way to walk - that should be the right way..if u waddle like a penguin tat means u are walking the wrong way..tat's wat a physio told me lah...3 cents worth of input
kekeke but if i dont wake up and drink water, my throat will b rather dry and if dont pee cos of tummy pressing against bladder, will get UTI also
so got to do all these for the time being bah.
adeline
kekeke i cant drink bird nest ah cos i am allergic to it. But I am drinking hashima which is the equivalent....but I still drink at night lo...cos sometimes when i do my routine test, there is a hint of sugar in my pee....so better not load on sugar too much.

the right way to walk is tummy tucked in, and arch of the back should not be too arch...if not, u will suffer from back aches or tummy ligaments ache at the end of the day.
Best way is to imagine urself as a puppet being pulled by a string....correct ur posture....if u are waddling, opening legs too wide is wrong lei..

also must ensure chin tucked in, and shoulders should not slouch...physio did say if u sit properly and walk properly, even though our tummy are big, aches and all can be prevented if we sit, walk and wear the right shoes

no la..that means all muscles should be relax and not strain up...cos if we waddle, tend to push legs and hands forward and chin also forward..this will cause muscle at jaws to ache.

baby carrier
I agree with X that babybjorn carriers are not the best, for both mummy and baby. you should look for a carrier where, when baby is upright in it, he is in a sitting position with knees higher than bum. Ergo, Beco are good brands. Ring slings or pouch slings are also good.

Ritzc & vaneassa , me too,my whole 17 weeks , I spent more than2.5 k already. Everytime spotting go to a&e gleneagles. I don't want to spend more. Every month visits more than $500 cost. I am the frequent visitors to gynae. I just SMS to my gynae whether it could be low placenta or cervix length problem. My next appointment with him is next four weeks after detail scan. I will try to be positive and try to carry until full term.I need to strong n positive. Just need to be more cautious than normal pregnant mom. Then I think should b fine. I will talk with my BB inside often. So we can keep in touch. Thank u all. All these are fate and we plan to meet in this life. I will try my best care for my little fetus.

it is just old wives tales that you should not carry a girl with her legs apart. This is in fact the posture that is best for spinal development, to be sitting, bum lower than knees, legs slightly spread. carriers like bjorn have babies dangling from their crotch, which is actually not meant to be a weight bearing area (unlike the bum), which is bad for them.

Vanessa, you have low lying placenta right? If so, better go to your gynae & check. Maybe you can give his/ her clinic & check if there is a need for u go down or monitor 1st?
My gynae told me to let him know immediately if bleeding. Didn't mention abt brown d/c.
