BBlove, thks
wish I cld take leave too but I'm racing agst time at work. My big bosses all want me to complete the assignments before going for maternity. Things that they throw in the morning and they expect a reply by noon.. sigh... I just do whatever I can... Want to condemn me I also bo bian... Even my colleagues and staff also feel kelian and ask me to take hospitalization leave till delivery. I don't even got time to do handling over list... This week is my 34 weeks... Been dreaming that I will give birth at 35 weeks... Don't know is it due to stress that I have bad dreams nowadays... Lucky almost all the clothes and stuff all washed and bought liao... I only left with packing of hospital bag and hubby just need to a day or so to clean up the baby room..
Friends,
Hugs. We are in the same plight. Worse for me, still dun know who will be taking over my work. My boss is a very last min kind of person. She knows dateline long ago but also tell me in the morning and expect it to be out by noon. Luckily my manager (who is her boss) do sayang me a lot. But I just dun want to override her by gg to my managewr directly.
My hospital bag also unpack, bb room also messy. Now started with spring cleaning as my bb clothes and barang all been washed. But gers have been cranky due to stomach flu since few days back. Even dinner also want me to feed. Stress!

Good morning ladies!
I had a bad fall last saturday when shopping for a playpen; got bruises on my knee.
Was so worried that i went to the loo immediately to check if i have any bleeding. Thank goodness everything is ok, am still feeling bb's kicks.

Finally moved our son together with his baby cot to his room! Hubby has been sleeping with him since last friday. Hopefully he can get used to sleeping alone soon.
Canopy,
Take care. Do consult gynae if you feel any uncomfortable.
Bliss,
Me also gg into Giant 7 liao. What is protein powder? Safe to consume if breastfeeding? My mum said confinment not suppose to loss weight. Ask me to do it after confinment so that I can really 'bu' my health. I intend to breastfeed and use it as a 'movtivation' to loss weight.
Sad to hear about your friend's case. It is like so near yet to far.

Mummies,
Since we have all moved into 3rd trimester, just to share 'what to expect', especially for 1st time mummy.
Week 27,
It is a good time to prepare prenantal classes in preparation for childbirth.
Week 28,
A mother's centre of gravity has shifted during this stage, so care must be taken when walking or moving suddenly.
Week 29,
As you progress full term, cgeck that you ahve everythingready that will be needed.
Week 30,
Kicking diminished due to limited space.
Week 31,
Watch for warning sigs of pre-eclampsia such as elevation in blood pressure in a pregnant woman of 140/90, which protein in the urine, or swelling (oedema) of the feet, hands and /or face.
Week 32,
You will feel the foetus turning and rolling rather than kicking as it positions itself for birth.
Week 33,
If heartburn becomes significant and uncomfortable, consult your doctor.
Week 34,
Although the fortus will still be gaining weight, your weight gain will have slowed down.
Week 35,
Mood swings, fear and bouts of crying are typical.
Week 36,
Total weight gain is generally between 11 and 14 kg.
Week 37,
The doctor will perform a pelvic examiniation to check on the position of the foetus.
Week 38,
As hormone fluctuate, a sense of depression and being overwhelmed is common. There may be a feeling of tugging low in your abdomen as the fortus drops.
Week 39,
Discomfort from weight gain is now quite evident with increased lower back pain.
Week 40,
Contraction may be felt, intensifying as you get closer to delivery. If contraction do not begin, your doctor may want to check progress, including the thinning of the cervical wall and the position of the foetus.

Finally bought some stuffs over the weekend, bought a playpen with anti dust mite mattress, 1 carton of pampers newborn diapers (upto 5kg), 3packs @$19.90; maternity pad, pigeon laundry detergent and softener, pigeon washing liquid for the bottles etc, bottle brush, cotton bud and pad, a few pairs of mittens and a bicycle for our son's birthday.

Bliss,
No problem! Just sharing with what I've read. Yup, try the protein powder and let me know. I'm interested so long it be can consumed when breastfeeding.
When is your hse coming? It is also comfortable to have your own love nest rather than living with in-law. The only good point is someone can help and see see look look with baby if you are not around.

Brazilian Waxing: I have been doing for this pregnancy. Mmm... it is generally safe unless u are having early contractions or any other complications. I did heard that pain from the waxing may trigger contractions. I am having a normal pregnancy, so far I waxed twice le... regular waxing not so painful (cos lesser hair to remove). HAHAH!
If you are doing for hygiene, ok la. Don't worry whether hairy there will affect delivery or not (cos it will not). I did not wax for my #1 and it was ok, the nurse (contrary to what is spread online) will just shave the "relevant portions" if necessary.

Baby movements: I freaked myself out last night. Cos usually when I lie down on my back or side. baby will move around quite a bit so last night it was ALL QUIET... I moved to the side and i only got a small movement (flutter) at the side of my tummy. Woke up at 7 plus am and still the same. I asked Hubby: "Am I freaking myself out?". He said "YAH." I started tapping my tummy and by 8 plus the bb was moving around liao... *scary!!!*
Xinyue, I don't think it helps slim down but it does help in reducing the left over baby bump!
BB Preparation: I have started packing here and there... removing stuff from my room so that the cot can move in aft my confinement.
Washing of stuff (like gotta start soon), been putting it off lor (after hubby say still got more than 2 months). HAHA!

canopy, u must be more careful!
Bliss_ling, talking about delivering earlier. This makes me blood boil. It all started about the full month celebration. MIL says if really come out on 9 jan - full month will be on 9 Feb (CNY eve). She say no need to do full month (cos no one will come), do at 4th month (I was like huh? might as well don't do, wait till 1 YO lor). Anyway, she brought it up again during the weekend, hubby say do early or don't invite the msian relatives. It's not like we have no other friends or relatives here in SG (that's the good thing abt hb. Partly cos I told him what his mum said). LOL!
Then when the full month thing conclude, she keep harping that I might deliver earlier. I told her that maybe not cos doc says should be following my first one which is one day before EDD. and confirm won't be more than 2 weeks earlier. Then hubby kena nag by me cos I feel like I kena cursed lor (like he also say I deliver in Dec btr cos he sch hols *roll eyes* - like he can don't go back to sch in the last 2 weeks of Dec). Anyway, I WAN my bb in JAN!!! *haiz*

Snowger,
For my #2, it was accurate. The morning of delivery, I did dreamt of an old man in white, telling me that I will delivered on the day itself. That very same day, my #1 also sang 'Happy Birthday, meimei' and she was cranky throughout the whole day only wanting me and noone else. In deed, I gave birth the same nighht at 11 pm.
This time round, #2 has been telling me, after Christmas, it will be bb's birthday then it will be happy new year... Hubby was saying maybe bb coming on the last day of the yr.
I've never hear of ppl doing full month at 4th month. But you can do it a week earlier. For this, I might even do it 2 weeks earlier cos my full month, as usual, will not be inviting any relative. Only go temple and MIL's hse to pray. But we do give out cake to relative though.

Snowger: whole world tell me will early coz #1 was early. Bt #1 early nt coz contractions came early, bt coz was induced. So this time round hard to say. Bt pple say tummy so big like will early leh, bt again i say u tink big coz when i had #1 tummy small till insignificant, comparatively of coz now bigger mah.. Somemore this time i gt cravings so ate alot of meat.. Mayb tats y put on so much weight. Hehe!!
As for full mth, i onli know can do early bt nt late la.. I meant 1wk earlier as in the wkend b4 cny lor. Wanna let #1 celebrate together on full mth coz if on cny eve will b onli family, bt if full mth will be more re nao wif friends as well. Coz 1st n 2nd yr no celebrate, felt she too young to appreciate. Bt now she like cannot wait. Keep saying wan eat cake, i say for wat, she keep saying her bdae.. Still can say she 3yrs old. So give in la, celebrate lor..
I never hear pple do full mth on 4th mth, bt heard b4 the full mth haircut do on 4th mth la..

My tummy also much much bigger this time round. My manager has been saying that he thinks my tummy is goona burst soon and why am I still in office everyday. I guess it is also becos I have eating what I want. Tummy not only get bigger, weight also piling like nobody biz....

Walking and delivery,
Just clarify I meant excessive walking might stimulate delivery. I was still going shopping and isetan private sale a few days before #1 popped. Some pple told me that might be the trigger. Anyway I will play it extra safe and rest more until the new year is safely here!
Bliss,
Yah very Sian. But since #1 was like that too I am hopeful can lose the weight.
Yah the Malay massage worked on the tummy and water retention. But general weight loss not so much. Still have to depend on yourself. It was a bit contradictory cos the massage lady encouraged me to eat less whereas my mil (who was doing confinement for me) told me must bu the body and eat! In the end I compromise by taking less carbo and more protein. The tummy binder also helped to prevent me from over eating as it was so tight! I was vain so I didn't tell the lady to loosen it a bit. Hehe
Waxing,
I need to go for one session soon. Can't see what is going on down there any more even if I want to tidy things up. Hahaha
But I'll probably just do a full bikini wax in case I'm more sensitive now and can't take the pain.
Baby movements,
Mine responds much more to #1's voice than anybody else or fast music. Hope this is the start of positive sisterly bonding!
Insomnia,
I wake up to pee without fail every night now. If I'm lucky I can fall asleep immediately, if not I stare at the ceiling for over an hour.
Julie,
Yah I second u on the invitation thing. I invite out of courtesy only. If you can't make it just let me know and I can keep my party small and intimate, even better cos anyway the newborn will probably sleep throughout the thing. Not so many pple to overwhelm me and #1 also.
Snowger,
I realise a lot of mil like to chu pattern like this. From the wedding to giving birth, they like to do things their way. Cool down ok? Since your hubby sides u on the full month celebration. Good to keep it small also easier to manage. Personally I didn't like my #1's celebration. Too many things were going on and I couldn't entertain everyone.

Thanks friends, bliss and Julie , will try to rest more. Yes , constantly checking his temp scared it will shoot up.
Feeling really heavy as days go by... Time seems to tick v slowly cos still have to bear with it for another 2 mths, emotionally a bit contradicting... When bb comes out, it's sleepless nights and have to cope with no 1 too .. Not as simple as when I was having no 1....

Bblove: so cute!! Bt haven been eating chips.. More of meat. Scared of wat i'll see when i step on the scale this wed. Haha!! Pple oso say i like gonna burst soon, bt no ask y i still in office leh.. Juz tat i try nt to walk too much, like wat LM say..
LM: true tat walking aids delivery. Coz tat time my sis was complaining, say so pain liao the nurses still keep calling her walk up n down. The reason they gave her was it promotes contractions.
My #1 full mth oso.. Alot of pple i couldnt entertain. Esp since i was breastfeeding. So hubby said to get the pump sooner. So at least i wont b hiding in the room feeding while pple outside are asking where's the bb. Haha!! Hubby wanted do away wif the full mth, bt i said no coz nt fair mah, 1st 1 gt do 2nd 1 no do.. Thou they wont know la.. Bt since gonna celebrate #1 bdae together, y not?!! Save all the trouble.
As for MIL chu pattern, mine is a bochup MIL.. So these few yrs staying her place still ok. Bt recently quite irritating, coz mayb its the weather, #1 either cough or runny nose. Than she kept taking meds fm fridge and call #1 pass to me. There was once she even took an expired 1!! I told hubby, she wan give give la, y muz call her pass me and the expired 1 i say cannot eat my ger cry, say wan eat meds. Bt wat hubby said was true oso la, he said, she pass u better than she anyhow feed her rite? True oso la.. Bt truely wat i don like is she alwaz give her rubbish to eat, like sweets.. Those gummies still ok coz soft, bt she gives those hard sweets!! Those u need to suck n suck till it gets smaller. Small kid leh, sekali she swallow it whole n choke how?!! Bt i oso cannot say her.. Haiz..

snow : cool it. if really come out on edd of 09Jan, then do the full month on 05 or 06Feb which is a sat or sun. I think people will come to attend.
My Mil has said that if i deliver early eg 09Jan, then do the full month cum reunion dinner @ our house.
Hubby & I are ok as we don't really invite friends, just family members will be invited.

Aspialle: yup, agree wif u. So contradicting rite? Bt can start countdown liao la.. Mine another 6wks to go.. Like so fast. Esp when we all slp in 1 rm. Scared newborn cries will disturb #1 slp, esp since she's like me, light sleeper.. Abit of sound or light can wake her up.. At least last time onli me n hubby, bb cry oso nvm coz hubby is heavy sleeper. Haha!! Somemore #1 cant fall asleep if i nt ard.. So worried, bt no choice.. Hopefully she gets over this phase.. Guess it's juz insecurity..
Julie , ya before no1 my skin is clear, smooth without spots... After that so many freckles like spot on hands n legs, just appear .. Maybe due to hormones
After pregnant with no 1, there is growth of excessive breast, it's like a lump under my armpit, when doing breastfeeding, both sides also engorge and no way to let milk out as there is no milk duct .. This time round, with no 2 , both sides seems to grow bigger and I'm considering operation to remove it after birth (provided I'm not intending for 3 rd one as it will grow again )

Bliss,
Like that #1 & #2 won't have much bonding session right? Since #1 will be at your mum's hse. How about bring bb back to your mum's hse and at least your parents can help. As for your hubby, if he misses bb, ask him to join you at your mum's place. Although I believe your MIL will scream her head off with this suggestion but since the tv box is always on till so late, it will be good to train bb to sleep earlier, else as he grows, eventually you will also face the same problem as #1's sleeping habbit like now.

hi hi.... so many posts!!!
So exciting. Many planning for full month celebrations already.
My Edd 19 Jan, I just hope bb arrives before 10 Jan, so that I can eat and move around on CNY. We only did full month celebration for #1. #2 didn't do. Not doing for this #3 too. Probably just a small gathering for immediate family.... then cut bit of hair for formality.
And yes, weight gain is scary now. Walking around like rolly polly
