my gynae prefers for us to tear naturally and then he will sew you up. He does not believe in the cutting and then stitching up. But because i did not tear so no need to sew.

Don't liddat say... It's just that your house is already so neat that's why don't need to clean up hehe
Ms tan
Think I will wash bb clothes in week 33 ba. Now wash also no point cos no where to keep!
Silvery gal
Wow you are so efficient, already set aside the clothes!
Hospital bag
Oh, anyone got list of what to put in... I totally don't remember!
Mel
Wow you good leh. 3.1kg and never tear at all!
Cheekyduckie
You remember sam teaches a technique to "open the opening"? Hehe the poor hubbies got to do that.
Re tearing vs snipping
I think for me, it was a long labour and everyone was tired liao so gynae just snipped. At that very moment, my husband looked... And the sight of blood just made him feel woozy and that's how he fainted on me. This time he'll make sure the coast is clear before he goes over to peep and snip the cord hehe
So first time mummies, if your husbands are scared of blood, tell them don't be hero. stay by the head of the bed and support you instead of going to the foot to see the action!
You know mummies, baby centre says we're likely to put on 5kg in our last tri... At the rate I'm eating chin mee chin cupcakes, I think 5kg is no prob!!! Haha

Mel, I would follow Cheeky's suggestion, that is, get helper to wash when I admitted, easy on everyone. She got thing to do while I in hospital "ping ming"!!!
I heard about Asia's size is smaller and most likely need to cut or tear, I freaked out, will kuai kuai cesarean at 38W, best if I can push 1 more week to 39W if baby is not too big to manage.

SG: Hospitals will provide top, wrap, mittens, booties for baby to go home. Unless you pantang don't want bb to go home in hospital clothes, then u bring bb's clothes. Most hospitals will also give u a bag with some goodies inside to bring home, in addition to whatever left over supplies you have paid but not finish using, like bb diapers.
So hospital bag need to have your PJs, marriage cert (if you are intending to register baby's birth at hospital), and 1 set of going home clothes. Sanitary pads hospital will provided at a cost.
So actually, the only most important thing to bring, is your identification card.
I will just pack my hospital letter, PJs, going home clothes, sanitary pads (i can't stand the loop pads that TMC uses), disposable underwear, nursing bra, marriage cert.

#2 time mummies, I m in my 29 weeks. Wish to consult you all.. Regarding current stage pregnancy..are we not to take tonic at tis stage? I've hear many saying, some say to stop taking tonic as they are heaty n should take more "cooling" stuff.. Some say take tonic now so we will hav strength to push. Please advice ..Thank you!
hospital bag
different hospital gives different stuff. last time my gal at mt alvenia, they give bath tub, no clothes for bb. thomson gives clothes to bb, but no bath tub. so, better check with the hospital.
don't forget the slippers. floor could be cold to walk around.
i will get ready my breast pump too, in case need to stay at hospital longer than expected *touch wood* and the milk flow comes in and feel engorge.
SG
i am not sure about the pte gynae delivery charges liao. 'cos i am seeing kkh doc under subsidised package. since it's subsidised, i didn't really check out the charges, too.
Ms Tan
there are tonic which are not heaty. for 3rd trimester, it's better don't take heaty stuff. but also depending on your body condition. i believe that if we maintain good health with some excercise, we will have strength to push. is this your 1st one?

Ms Tan, eh...i'm on the heaty side, so i rarely take tonic except for 1st trimester when i feel giddy...my mum did brew chicken soup for me. but i tink chicken essence still ok ba. i know ard 34-35 weeks can start taking coconut drink liao. am looking fwd to it...cooling nice!! i drank few times before i popped my #1, and my #1 comes out very clean hee...

Third tri is supposed to be coconut juice tri as well, ya?

Ditto that. Really very chill this time. Cos no need to scramble for steriliser, stroller, cot etc. All just have to dig out from store room! Haha.
I also used medela mini. Found the cup a bit uncomfortable.
Hospital freebies
I remember mt A gave bathtub and nothing else. Oh wait, a bag with some things
What to bring
Thanks for sharing, mummies. Also, bring a jacket cos could get cold.
Those who don't drive, perhaps can ask relatives not to give big bulky items cos we had soooo many bags to bring home when we got discharged! This time we're not even going to tell anyone when we deliver! Just parents. We don't want visitors. Just want to bond with baby instead of have to worry about what to say to relatives. I had an uncle hanging around when I wanted to BF my #1 which was super awkward. Don't want and don't need moments like that!

Today im gg for my gynae visit. I hope my "two- eggs-a-day plus more milk" diet worked out and i hope my baby will gain some good weight. (i dun weigh myself everyday).
Im also very relaxed for this pregnancy. Haven wash baby clothes, pack bag, will share steriliser with #2.. I shd check if my freestyle in my store still good for use. Will use the diapers from hospital first, not enough then hubby can go buy more. I tink i will start to panic nearing end March.
Im bringing my #2 to watch Barney on 17th. Hope baby wun be early but on schedule =)
Good weekend ladies!

hi mummies, haven't posted for awhile but have been following the thread. guess wat? I was diagnosed with chicken pox this morning. anyone heard if it'll harm the bb anot? i'm now week 29. i read online, seems fine la. i haven't seen my gynae but he is aware already. i voluntarily admit tmc, partly to make sure bb will be fine, but most importantly to quarantine myself from my 2.5 yo girl.

SG: Yes... I am 1 of those who doesn't care who is outside talking or eating or not, i will just continue to latch and BF the baby, with curtains drawn. I will allow my girl friends in to chat too! haha... I don't really care lor.
Jesline, yes. The urine dip stick is the 1st part of determining for GD. Gynae might ask u go for glucose test.
Lilcactus: please take care. speak to you gynae first.
Gifts @ hospital: Even though we drive, i get my MIL or mother to bring them home first so that i dun have to fight war and bring so much stuff home on discharge day.

cheekyduckie & MEinme, so good..i nid to learn from u two liao. I'm so shy that i also close my room door when i latch #1..coz sometimes my FIL will pop by to see his grandson..then i gt to like tell him wait ah...i'm feeding him. so stressful...ended up i din really bring my #1 out for the first three mths. He basically stayed at home with me throughout...wahaha
and my confinement lady then will come into my room and look at me how to BF lor..my goodness..later then i realised she has nvr BF before. Btw, i got sore and bleeding nipples for my #1 coz he's those super impatient bb and big drinker, i tink this time round shldn't have this problem liao rite? I supposed "they" have "strengten" liao? or shld i still standby nipple cream incase they are sore again.

Cheekieduckie, every visit I was test on urine dip stick too but is it a must to go fot GD test? My previous urine dip all ok ley... if go for the GD..another worry coming up..waiting for result..ai yo...
SG,
my nipples got really sore very early in the pregnancy this time. i even got crusty nipples, yikes! so i had to start applying nipple cream since about 2 months ago. For my first pregnancy i only started applying about 2 weeks before EDD and yes e nipple cream is such a lifesaver in the initial weeks when baby latches on very often. my nipples were so sore!! but once the nipples are used to it, its a breeze. =)
re: feeding in public
i have no problems too, and just usually use a nursing shawl. but it can get tricky when bb is older and is curious about surrounding and starts to wanna peek outside. hahha... also, sometimes my family n friends will end up waiting for me to finish e feeding session. if there is a nice nursing room i will make use of it plus change diapers for baby. =)
reborn,
wow! #4! congrats!!

Put one leg up, one leg down? Kekeke. Actually I have been elevating my feet every night. Thankfully, no water retention in feet and have found that the leg cramps are not very often. When I feel one coming, just point toes toward knees and it goes away rather quickly
SG
It took me a while but I got used to BFing outside, though not as zhai as some BFing mummies – my friend can shop and BF at same time! As in while walking leh. Pei fu pei fu. Use nursing cover lor. But my girl quite cheeky, after some time, she would try to flip over the cover and play peekaboo. Aiyoh, girlie, mama’s boobies do not want to play peekaboo with strangers!!!
Jesline
Me too, bringing my #1 to watch 3 little pigs during march hols. Also hope #2 will not come that early! Hehe.

I don’t mind if my gal pals are around, or closer relatives la. But like distant uncle kind er…. Please go away!!!

Me too! MUST latch on at hospital! Last time I thought ‘aiyah no milk, don’t waste her time’ but now I more ‘kiang’ liao! Haha. Someone was saying after delivery, immediately pop on boob?
Lilcactus
Oh no, chicken pox! Take care ya? And take the opp to rest well in hosp!
This morning was a bit of drama at home for me. Woke up and my already constant butt cramp was worse than ever. The moment I woke up, pain. Then sat up, pain. Walked a few steps to bathroom, pain. Had to scream out to hub and he brought me chair to sit down halfway. So drama. So the first 15 min or so, I was in agony!!! But after that it slowly went away. Checked with gynae and though he gave me sympathetic look, he said he couldn’t do anything. Boohoo. I asked for pain relief and he said ‘I’m not a fan of that’. BUT I AM AND I WANT!!!!!!!!!!! So he said pop a panadol if really painful, it’s ok. But the thing is, it only hurts this badly when I just wake up. And panadol needs time to react right? I can’t possibly take panadol first thing in morning… if take after breakfast, no point, cos if I can get up to make breakfast, then I’ll be ok liao. Hai….
But baby is ok. 29.5 weeks, 1.4kg. Brought my #1 too, and baby was covering her face with her arm, and the 2 girls were playing hide and seek hehe

Starrie, last night, I've tried to pop with 1 pillow instead of 2, no cramping feel this morning. I reckon we we can't pop too high, prevent blood circulation.
Pinkbunny, no.1, I've struggled big time to BF successfully. This time, I'll choose epi cesarean so that I can have 1st hand contact. Last time, blur blur, never massage boobs to prepare, wore underwired bras, etc.
Any scrapbooker in our thread?

Meinme: must massage breasts before delivery? Can share how to?

better, but on and off. friday was the worst :S it's not like labour pain. it's butt cramp, and every movement (like getting up from lying to sitting, and walking step by step, lowering myself to toilet, getting up from toilet, reaching to get a cup...) made it worse, and just sharp pains, those kind that make you just wince and stop moving kind.
just to share:
TMC has a very good breastfeeding centre. it's called parentcraft. those who are delivering there, i think you either pay less or none at all. i delivered at Mt A and unfortunately, found their BF team quite lacking, so i went to TMC for help. they were super helpful. and very nice and friendly and warm.
the centre is run by mrs wong boh boi, who incidently conducts excellent antenatal classes. she's also written a book about breastfeeding, which you can get at $13. i recently got it cos now i am determined to get BFing right and going to try exclusive BFing!
no la i don't get any commission from this. just to share cos i REALLY found their help useful and am very thankful for their assistance.

I had my 2nd leg cramp this morning.. i shiek so loud till my helper could hear me and asked me abt it this morning. Bleah!
As for my groin pains, gynae say to pop a panadol when i sleep as that's when i feel the pain most.
Update:
My boy is 1.7kg at 30 weeks
Looks like he will pass the 3kg mark. Yeah!
My weight gain is 11kgs.

Pinkbunny, yes, Mrs wong is good, she has helped me to latch my girl successfully. Does she still do hand-on now? The last time I went the rate was $40+ per hour.
I bought all the 3 books: pregnancy, childbirth & breastfeeding and got her to authographed for me. kekeke.
Eliz, that is a good weight. I hope mine is good weight too in 2 weeks time. I still didn't put on enough weight, still stay at 7kg now at 28W.
Tangerinez, use 2-3 fingers to make circulate motion around, not on nipple.

Pinkbunny, meinme, if we need help for latching from mrs.wong, how does it work, can we & baby just go to TMC parentcraft directly to find her there? I went there once to pay for her child birth education class. She is very experinced indeed..

Is she also able to help clear engorgement? I heard the process is very painful
