Morning mummies... looks like a wet day! Great for lazing in bed, but if you're working like me, good to stay indoors..
BTW, I have many boxes of Nan Mum to GIVE AWAY! If you wanna supplement your diet with the milk powder, just let me know ya? I don't drink it and it's a waste to throw away. I can meet up in town area to pass to you or mail to you at cost.

Adeline: Dr Brenda Low. She's good too!!! Mine once rch hospital i delivered in 4 plus hours. It's not too bad already. Can't complain much.
If I waited until Dr chan is back I suspect her weight may hit 3kg. By then I dunno if I can deliver normally cos narrow hips.
God's timing and will

Hello! So excited to hear some mommies popped already! Good job mommies!
Adeline - me too, I kept telling my baby to stay inside my tummy till around edd -19 June. I'm actually on MC now, got fever and flu. So horrible! But i still need to go back office tmr and Fri to do my final handover. Then start taking my leave next week and rest till my baby is out. If not, I'll be very stress ah..haha!
Seriously, June is so hot! How to do confinement?

Did your gynae discuss with you the risks of vbac? My gynae just told me that she won't allow me to go for vbac if I'm overdue and has to be induced. Vbac only ok if I go into labour naturally. Apparently vbac carries higher risks for induced birth. I've never heard of that before. Your gynae mentioned before?

No la, I think still quite a number of regulars still waiting for their turn. It’s only beginning of Jun!
I’m desperately clearing my work now. So only have time to glance and read. No time to chit chat. Hehe
Fleur
4 hours for your no 1 is already quite a feat!! Glad everything went well for you. Rest while you can k?
Joycie
Your EDD very close to mine. One day difference only! Haha..I’m due on 18 Jun. You are only starting your leave next week? So at 39 weeks?
First Month Cake
Haven’t thought about what to do. But may just get some makan to pop by office cos I know they have the habit of collecting money or give vouchers for those who just delivered. In any case, I don’t intend to carry back my laptop today so by coming back, I can pick up my laptop and bring it back home.
Hope
You really can’t wait to deliver ah? Hehee…did you tell your baby to be good and send you a signal soon?

@hopecg if we are staying near each other I can get my hubby to get the thing from you. Aiya my Hp is 9296 8633
Going through the 2nd round of induction. I glad that my gynae made me come as early as 6am. Coz I think if I come in the afternoon or evening it worse at night I will be charged a full day fee for my ward. So mothers who needs to Ho for induction my want to take note

Jasmine, no.. my gynae didn't press.. he just did normal scanning to see baby's position and measure the head, torso, etc.
sunbelle, according to what I've read, you'll feel the baby seems lower than usual and you can breathe and eat easier. You should also feel more pressure or soreness in the groin area. I've been experiencing a lot of movement since weeks ago, but now that the space is very limited, baby's movements are more pronounced. I can feel every knee jerk and kick lor
My hubby can see my whole tummy doing a wave sometimes.. haha. One time he felt the baby kick his nose when he put his face near my tummy.

jolene, how is induction done? u mean with the pill or gel up the vagina or your gynae just do a swipe at your waterbag? last time my gynae did a swap at my waterbag at wk37. i was quite upset cos i wasn't informed. this time i'll tell him to tell me everything beforehand. is that induction?
nattan, me also wanna know abt the engagement part also.
deebee, my gynae didn't mention anything. he only asked how big was #1 and said #2 was smaller so better chance of vbac. but then again, if bb dun turn to face backwards, then it's c-sect also.
i m hoping that my girl will come out earlier and turn soon. will know this fri at the next visit. btw, is it becos once overdue bb is too big? i also never heard of vbac carries higher risks for induced birth. wat does that mean? i can check also w gynae on fri. but he also did mention that once u had a c-sect, that cut there is thick and not as flexible as normal delivery so tougher for bb to push herself out sort of thing.
my girl is at 2.3kg at 34wks. i'm really hoping she's not growing fast and hope to end at only 2.7kg or 2.8kg cos my pelvic bone seemed small when he did a c-sect last time. you leh?
did you check on the episiotomy with your gynae?

lili gal, you can try doing more "floor scrubbing" exercise to encourage baby to turn to the right position. Also when you watch tv or sit, try to lean forward. Most doctors will do an episiotomy in case you tear, but I also read that in western countries, they don't do that unless really necessary. If you don't wish to have it done, can inform your doc earlier. I'm also trying to avoid it. Maybe should do more perineal massage to help loosen the muscle there and make it stretch more easily during delivery.
Re full month vouchers, I also don't like to give vouchers cos I don't like receiving them myself especially if they are from some obscure shop that has limited branches.. very troublesome to redeem. Bengawan Solo is ok since they have many shops, but not everyone may like their nonya kuehs and traditional cakes. How about a big box of cupcakes? Usually cost $3-5 each and you can even ask the bakery to customise the icing to include the baby's name...

@lil gal - its done by the nurse here at KKH. They just insert a pill into the viginal. It takes a long lOng time. Monitoring the baby and contraction would take about an hour then they will insert the pill and you lie one e bed for another hour or so.
My back pain is Getting unbearable.

Hi Lili gal
I did some research online and apparently vbac carries a certain level of risk of uterus rupture. I suppose you are aware of that! And induced vbac has a slightly higher risk of uterus rupture compared to a non-induced one. Not sure of the exact reasons but it's got something to do with the added medication. Perhaps you can check with your gynae? Let me know can? cos i would like to get a second opinion! Or else my gynae might send me straight for csec next week
As for episiotomy, I think it's nothing to do with vbac or not. So I didn't ask my gynae about it..

How come need to insert another pill? First one didn’t result in any progress? Wow, lying on your back for long periods is tough. Hope your 2nd pill will help speed things up.
Sunbelle
I still experience a lot of movements when I’m sitting down. I think it’s because she feels very squished inside? I was asking if once contractions start, does it mean that baby will have less movements?
My baby is not engaged yet although her head is very low and close by. I believe the downward pressure will be even more significant and uncomfortable by then.

deebee, yah this rupture thing i know. but i still hope to be natural lor. dun like the cut open feeling again. ok will check. btw, ur gynae can do a swipe at the waterbag. apparently that helps to speed things up or do more natural inducing stuff like walkign etc might help to avoid overdue. my #1 not overdue so i doubt mine will.
sunbelle, really!??! u could you one of the early ones in the jul thread too! i am hoping to be earlier but i think might be end jun pushing first 2 days in jul.

It has been a long day for u. Did u manage to get some rest between? It'll be soon really soon and you'll see your little one.
. Keep going!!
Sunbelle
Yeah - experiencing this has been one of the most wonderful and special moments in my life. Being a walking human incubator. Priceless.
Not sure if being active really helps. I've been and am will continue to exercise till the day i pop. Have also been doing housework etc as per normal except carrying heavy stuffs.
Finally i can have a good rest! 收工了！；）
