i had young coconut frm siam... it cost $3.50 for 1! the thai ones seem cheaper. the difference is tha tthe thai ones do have some treatment to it. like roasting it to make the smell come out, etc... the siam one is no treatment - just pure coconut. but of coz, there are no treatment thai ones as well as treated siam ones. but generally the thai coconuts are treated while the siam ones are not. siam ones are hard to find...

How can I tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and true labor contractions?
"In the days or weeks before labor, Braxton Hicks contractions may intermittently become rhythmic, relatively close together, and even painful, possibly fooling you into thinking you're in labor. But unlike true labor, during this so-called false labor the contractions don't grow consistently longer, stronger, and closer together."

rer-rer and liligal: what to buy online?? i scare order online now and delivery is a few weeks later which is a busy period when the bb has arrived!
Ok, now I'm worried.. At 34wk3days, bb's 2.8kg. That's also way overweight right?? Haiz dunno what to do.. So worrying. Pray hard bb gains super slowly from now on, or decides to come out early.. Doc even went as far to say "anytime bb comes out now, we're ready".. I hope bb either slows his gain or comes out early! Really don't want a csec.
joy_javen: Ur hubby so sweet....yes, I do feel tummy feelin tight near pelvic area and also the sides near my waist. Appetite also reverted back to 1st tri....milo and bread in the morning and night time don't really feel like havin dinner...tummy feels very bloated.
cherish & lili_gal: same same...past 2 days I got ppl commenting that my tummy looks like I'm havin a boy...again....then I went home and told hubby maybe we should ask gynae on Monday again to double confirm if it's really girl!!
lili_gal: What did you buy on Zalora?

Different gender after delivered. Yes, I heard it happened to my hb's colleague. That is why my hb always double checked with my gynae when he scanned me. My gynae said many times, yes yes sure hv gu gu bird, don't worry. Of course worry cos I hv given away all my #1 beautiful clothing n shoes.

Lilgal/ourlovestory, I bought Korean skincare, Bb cream, handcream, blusher. I got a zalora voucher fr uob dunno dump where! I m running out of skincare, tat day go facial kanna psycho buy alot of things, heng I tahan, only buy 2 masks. They rest I buy online, so much cheaper than buying fr the shops during sale.
Finally put my boy to sleep n hv e time to login read threads.
heng that there wasnt much 'chaotic scene' at home today. Was quite peaceful till my mil insisted carrying my boy n that boy screamed n cried. Hv to tell her don't force him.
Coconut
Is it ok to buy e small thai coconuts fr ntuc? Effect for cooling will be same bah?
E website that liligal mentioned seems interesting leh. I'm going to chk tmr. Hehe.
Marie,
I asked gynae previously on my bb gender n she confirmed is a gal as she saw 3 lines clearly. I don't dare to give away all my boy clothes yet. Will give away after delivery. LOL. But if going to be boy again, then will give away e girl girl clothes that I bought.

Hi mummies,
Wow the thread is running so fast!! Cant keep up
Marie, thanks, received the EDM
Unfortunately sis was so busy with work today, she couldnt get anything for me, a pity
Mummies, I went for my Wk 34 scan/checkup today and I am so worried! Baby is estimated to be 2.5+kg already! Gained 800g from 3 wks ago. I kept asking if the weight gain is too much and my gynae dismissed my concerns saying it is an acceptable weight. Hmm, VNese love big babies IMO.. #1 born at 38+2, weighing slightly < 3kg and the labor was already so difficult for me! I really hope #2 does not put on too much weight going forward, wish me luck ladies, my hip bone not v big I think, and I am not keen at all for a c-sect over here
Re coconut, how to choose a good young coconut? Hubby went to buy, but ended up it was not a young coconut. And how many can we drink per week? Thanks mummies!

cherish: same here...i am still keeping all my boy's clothes but mainly because i am waiting for my sis/cousin to get pregnant...but gynae confirmed 3 times is a girl...3 times also show us the 3 lines...plus detailed scan report also state female...girls stuff are just too sweet to resist from buying

Liligal,
Ya, going to pack soon. I'm done in washing bb clothes, luckily helper helped on this.
Very hard to do these stuff in wkdays. Will reach home after work ard 7pm, settle my boy, eat dinner, make him sleep. By e time I'm free, helper sleeping in study rm n mil in my rm. My stuff inside these 2 rms. Too short time in wkday. Nvm, will do it this wkend.
Good for u to work fr home. Can plan ur time to do it. : d

Oh I'm also a mountain tortoise and I have not done any washing yet. My guy also nvr remind me or be involved and he is like playing pc games everyday after work. The most is wash dishes n go with me to carry bb things which i buy. I tell him and he say I'm stressed by work need to relax. I not stressed meh? I no need to work meh? Still must pack bb things and segegrate them, wash them.
I dont feel contractions or any pain. Perhaps still early for me - only starting 34 weeks n my next gynae apptm only at 36 weeks.

Qing-er, dilated 1.5cm meaning another few days to full dilation? I heard can inject something to slow it down. Anyway, try not to eat food that trigger contractions. Example yesterday my mil fried my fav pork liver but I only ate 2 slices. I told her full term then can eat more.
Mummy lee, car seat cushion better don't remove whole thing n wash cos it might shrink. Just wet cloth n little detergent to remove stains.

Jomomm, I also listen to tell tales about food trigger contractions. My helper discourages me to eat eggplant saying in Philippines ppl eat eggplant to abort. But my #1, I ate a lot. Yesterday my mil also cooked my fav eggplant but I only ate a little bit.
Qing-er, my #1 picked the day my gynae was in overseas. My substitute gynae is Dr Kek also very popular in Mt E. What I m saying is that we hv to find a good alternative gynae just in case. Check with ur gynae if the alternatives r good in csect n which is good in natural (sewing our V up nicely). Heehee.... Good to be all prepared in case of emergency.

Qing-er ok now? Irregular is it?
Joy, haha such detailed planning just to wash stuff. But then I just remembered. I din use bb detergent to wash!!!! Aiyaya!!!
Tanny, guess nesting instincts only happen to mothers. Hubby also ask me to chill so I draft out todo list with dates spaced out, highlighted when is full term and then have a review with him on it. Then after that is tracking and monitoring. Dun say I din tell him early early or I m being too kan cheong.
Cherish, yah FTWM is tough esp when hubby not ard. Thankfully my mum helped. I just select stuff and put into laundry bag. She'll help me wash n sun. Or else I think if Indo myself will b really tough.
Cookie, hubby chooses. He waits till new stock comes in at shop n save or ntuc. He'll choose heavier ones cos he thinks older ones will lose abit of water. He also looks for blemishes. Nicer ones tend to be younger. Above are his comments. So far he has been quite skilled in this. Haha. Same w durians.
Jomomm, pineapple liver etc. but it seemed that u'll need large amounts of it to trigger. So far I hv been treating myself to foie gras (goose liver) with no effect at all. But that said better to avoid.

Thanks for the advices on my hermorrhoids. Think mine is particularly bad cos' I already have them pre-preg and pregnancy created new ones. Will ask if my doc can prescribe anything for me when I see him tmr.
Qing-er, how heavy is your baby now? If bb is of good weight, probably developed enough and can cope in our world already. Try not to worry. Bb wants to come, they'll get their way. All the best!

I duno bb's weight now as last check up was abt 2 weeks ago n bb abt 1.7kg. Should be 2kg now I think.

I hv been talked to bb since few mths bk, hopefully he will listen to me. I hv started my ml since 21may to get enough rest. Praying hard!!
Really envy those already in wk 37/38, at least bb is full term. Dun need to worry so much!!
Hope everyone has a smooth delivery!!
