Mummies who have bought or own a cot/playpen, are you able to pull it out from your room to living room easily if baby needs to be in the living room while you are doing chores in the kitchen? I can't seem to find one that is smaller than my room door width. And for those that can, they are likely cots and not playpens.

I got a separate playpen for my boy back then - to save trouble
 


re: Durian

i finally bought home durian, red prawn, jus now when having lunch at TPY! Got a good deal at 2 boxes for $20 cos tt uncle say wan to close liao cos gg to "bet horse"...haha... later shall feast it over my tea break...then reduce my dinner intake tonight... shld b quite safe ba in terms of e weight... This long holiday i have been feasting man! Ate 2 big slice of durian cake from jalan kayu...:oops: Alamak! I better eat "normally" from tml onwards.... i dun wan a huge jump on my 1 mth visit later!

Went shopping over e long weekend.. john little having 20% sales! Bought e dimple pillow/bloster/bb mittens/socks/front opening buttons clothes/laudry detergent as well! Is cheaper to get e laundry detergent at john little w e 20% cos i went fairprice to check. John little still cheaper!

Hi Blueberry! Welcome here! Congrates to ur twins!

xiaober, u went to see e fireworks? Issnt very crowded? I hate crowd esp now when we carry our big tummy... I rem e last time i went to see was v long time ago... Maybe e next time is bring my kids go see.... haha...

Fuzzybear, how abt joinin the grassroot/PA volunteer? I recall reading thru e newspaper tt it oso helps by need at least 1 yr volunteer...
 
Pinky, think joining grassroots not simple either for P1 reg, nor need be limited to one year. Basically, if you want your kid to get into 'ming xiao' thru non-alumni route, can start planning now. Er, maybe even for pre-school kekeke.
 
Good morning mummies.
How's everyone?!? No more bb sales till end sep n early oct.... our last chance to do some last min shopping. :)

Now at kkh doing the glucose test... torturing!
Too sweet drink n looking at hubby enjoying his mac breakfast... salivating!

Worse of all, have to wait 2hrs for the next blood test... really hope time flies now! Haha
 
Morning mummies... It's Monday again..

Since last night I can feel the tightness at my tummy.. Having problem Sleeping cos it's really uncomfortable... N this morning now it's coming back.. No idea why is it like that cos it came quite sudden.. Hopefully it will be better by later..

Feeling kinda sad since last night.. Just knew that my hub buddy's dad passed away yesterday.. And his bud didn't even say anything till we heard his wife saying she need to apply leave.. Dan he told us.. And thru out our meetup he acted like nothing happened.. Hub was so sad cos the dad practically see them grow up and the news came top sudden.. Life and death is always something that is not within our control.. Wanted to go down to the funeral but I believe my in laws wun agreed.. Also duno how to help hub with his sadness.. He even say this year he will see two death one birth.. Cos other bud of his, the mum also in bad condition.. Really feel sad that I can't offer much help also.. :(
 
Pinkyloving: ya cos hub wanted to show baby fireworks... So went marina square to see.. The crowd is really scary... But I managed to find a space of my own that people can at least avoid banging to me when they walk.. You should! But maybe when they are bigger? Cos the sound is actually quite loud, and they might feel scared by it instead of enjoying it..

Sdluvct: hope everything will be all right for you.. Just endure for now and go for a good one later..
 
morning mummies! limping to work on a gloomy monday... =x my ankle n legs seem very prone to pains n cramps ever since i hurt my ankle on thurs. sigh... wobbling like a (very slow) penguin these few days. feel so lousy leh. =(

over the wkend, i browsed at some possible venues for full mth celebration n sent enquiry to a country club near my place. they reverted with the quotation this morning n it's super exp leh! for 3hrs use of venue, they require minimum 50pax n food costs $40 per pax for international buffet menu. omg! -.-

linxiaober: it's always not easy when someone close leaves us... can only console ur hub to 看开abit. i'm super bad n lost when it comes to consoling pple also, esp since i know nothing i say will help... =(
 
good morning mummies, had a good long weekend since Tue PM onwards but too bad, time flies and its back to work again. i feasted on durians, a buffet and bird's nest! gonna restrict myself on all the sweet stuff from now till next checkup to do glucose test.

went Taka for last min shopping on Sat and also dropped by Baby Hypermart to take a look, managed to draw up the list of things i need for baby and ran through all the stuffs I have bought to see what else is pending, think should be more or less and the rest can buy slowly in the sales months ahead. only the playpen is giving me a headache coz my gf gave me one but it cannot be pushed in and out of baby's room due to the width, and apparently, most playpens have this problem. so, have discussed with hb and decided to leave playpen in the room first and see if we need it in the living room after baby is born.

sdluvct, is your glucose test compulsory by KKH for all mummies or any reason why you need to do the glucose test?
 
Littleprince>> Not sure if its compulsory... durig my last checkup, detected sugar in my urine (cos forgot n drank a med sprite before going for checkup) Doc asked abt my family history n he said better to do so here I m doing the test now!

Anyway these few days seems to be having heartburn... cannot lie straight, left or right, need to slp semi sit up position. Anyone having the same experience?

I m still like 3 weeks more to 3rd trimester n stomach also not very big and havig lots of problem.. bodyache, bra line area hurts, tailbone hurts... na
 
xuan: dun overwalk your ankle too much.. cos i feel later stage your ankle might suffer even more cos our body weight is more.. cheer up.. its monday and dun get blue-er ya! :)
ya i know.. i also didnt say much cos i know nothing i say can help with the sadness.. so i just try to make myself feel happy so that i dun add on more burden to my hub..

sdluvct: hmm you eat alot? i only get heartburn when i sit too long.. maybe try and keep yourself relax? try and do some light exercise to help resolve the pain? i tried swimming (walking in the pool slowly) and i felt better after that..
 
morning mommies! just back from my OB check up! Baby is abt 1.052kg now at almost 27 wks, though she measures way ahead (almost 1 wk ahead). I only gained 5kg from pre-preg weight. Also had a loooong chat with my gynae of doing VBAC. he told me that the risk of my previous c-sec scar rupture is 1% and for me to have a complication-free delivery to be at 60%. this is because of my early pregnancy bleeding (the subchorionic haematoma is still visible) and the close proximity btw this baby and my #2. haizzz i was looking forward to doing VBAC cos natural delivery is so much easier and recovery is faster. now have to rethink the whole thing again. The only gd thing is that he can do ligation at the same time during my c-sec. he also won't induce the baby as the hormones used during induction might trigger stronger contractions and again increases the risk of rupturing my old c-sec scar. And hor, i kena PUPPS lor.. i am having rashes everywhere. my chest, my neck, my back, my legs even my crotch!! only my tummy don't have cos I m trying not to scratch!

Xuan, u need to massage ur whole leg! i know Wong Boi Boi does teach us how to massage our limbs to improve circulation and move the blood around. poor thing u.. cheer up ok?

Re: durians
ok i think i better lay off the durians cos it is giving me a lot of gas! hahahaha i have been farting non-stop!

Sdluvct, gd luck for ur GD test! hope u clear it!

Pinky, like what Ankh said, those community leaders need at least 1 year of work to qualify as 'active'. when u first join they also need to assess u so essentially u need at least 2 yrs head start to do community work before u can use this to get into Phase 2B of P1 registration.

Ankh, i damn sian.. dunno what to do next man... dunno which sch to send my #1 to.
 
Morning mummies,
Bought the FP Ezbundle rocker from taka on Sat.
But don't have the time to test the swing yet.
Xuan-take care.
Fuzzybear-Thought PUPPS will gonna more on mummies with bb boy.
Must tahan not to scratch.
Take care also.
So in the end U choose C-sect or natural?
Gd to hear yr girl is growing.
 
fuzzybear, you are also very well disciplined leh, only gained 5kg so far. :) Did gynae give you anything to apply for your PUPPS? I heard that flaxseed oil can help? eh, which sch are you actually aiming for huh?
 
Bluenosebear, the FP 4-in-1 deal is quite gd hor? but did u check the stability of the whole thing? cos the more parts there are, the more unstable the whole structure can be. When i had my 2 boys, all my eczema disappeared! this time the rashes only gotten worse. i did read that corticosteroids can't be used on preggie women but my doc said can use but very sparingly.. i only use it like 1-2x a wk when i scratch until the wounds bleed. Now on Zyrtec. Still haven't decided whether to go for c-sec or natural. hb wants c-sec cos he said better not risk his precious princess, i.e. the bb!!

LittlePrince, was aiming for Anderson Pri. Flaxseed oil? oral supplement? I heard dandelion tea works too. As for my weight gain, i can't seem to eat a lot at one go.. but need to eat constantly.. all the unhealthy snacks.. hahaha may be that's why i m not gain.. i just ate a strawberry tart!
 
Hello, morning all.. Long weekend is over but didn't make use of it. Mostly stayed at home or go nearby shopping malls for meals.
I went to watch NDP live on Fri, it was my 1st time there and so lively. But the queue to get in for security check was terrible... plus weather was hot at 4pm+ and my #1 was so tired.
She dozed off halfway through the parade so i had to carry her in my arms.
Down with flu and feeling sick, want to take MC but i am only left with 1 day. :(

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a great break! I feel so blue to be back at work.
Mawanab, glad to see that u and baby are ok! :)
I had a rather quiet break.. mostly at home, clearing some backlog planning for home reno and baby shopping.. only bought the pigeon steriliser set eventually at taka fair. still tryna decide on a value for $ and recommended stroller.
Visited some relatives for dinner on the wkend..they asked me what's my fave dishes and invited us over. haha. ate alot. and after reading all the durian fiesta in the thread, I got my family to join us for a durian feast at balestier last evening. it was my first time having durians like that outdoors. I think we kinda got ripped.. 1st fruit was red prawn durian at $30! Only 6 seeds!!! Wah! 2nd, we went for the mao shang wang at $20.. the younger son gave a better price compared to the old uncle dad who charged us for the first one. The MSW was divine! Shared that 1 fruit with mum and sil..cant finish then tapau home. The son was so nice, tapau with many more seeds added in. :) after that, my sil told me to drink lots of barley to cool down.
Had a hard time getting up for work this morn. Keep plotting on MC, AL and HL.
 
anhk & fuzzybear, gosh.. going in Pri sch is so stressful! My hubby n myself not from good sch. I guess we will have a problem then.

Fuzzybear, how abt ur parents place? Got any good sch near ur parents? My SIL put her daughter to a good sch using my FIL hse address. Then, need to "swear" tt e kid is at FIL house staying something like tt.....

Xuan, dun b blue ya... get some happy food! I got myself my fav TEH~!! yummy.... so sweet n nice! hee...

Kayliz, eat more vitamin & drink water. Try to leave on e dot & go home rest?

Fuzzybear, wa... u only gain 5kg while bb aldy 1 kg! Looks like bb absorbing alot.. which is good! U can happily continue to feast... keke..
 
Hi ladies, another work week again. :confused:

I went to the taka fair on Sat and bought the Tommee Tippee Digital Baby Monitor after reading reviews.
Brought it back home and tested out. The reception and everything all quite clear and worked quite well.

I had a long corridor from my living room to the bedroom so for me, it would be useful as I don't intend to get a maid.
The pricing was $199 with 1 yr warranty.

Counting down to Friday.
 
Plush, are you e one who said tt u enrolling e Mt A prenatal class on Friday class in Sept?

I called today and e lady told me tt they recently den open e Friday class. Cos i told her tt time she only mentioned Thursday class to me. She said Friday class not confirmed cos only 3 participants and they need at least 10 to hold e class. She told me will help me change to Friday if the class is confirmed. I hope is a Friday class lo cos not too tiring the next day since no work on sat! hehe
 
littleprince, i didnt have to do glucose test either. but I'm at gleneagles. I was a bit worried doing the urine test just now cos of all the chocolates i ate. haha. and my weight gain this time round is 1.3kg (last 4 weeks was 2.6kg). woohoo. sounds like M&Ms are not fattening after all. i think not eating ice-cream really helps. I didnt touch a single icecream in the past 4 weeks. N I think it's definitely safe to eat 12 seeds of durian to replace dinner. LOL.

Hi! I'm new here!! EDD on 29th Nov :)
Will be delivering at Gleneagles too.. And I'm eating tons of chocolates/sweets! Getting a bit worried about the glucose test.. Right now I need to pee on a dipstick with 2 coloured squares right before my appointment. Is that what everyone does? I seriously hope it doesn't change colour this Thursday.

I too gained 2.7kg before my previous appointment and was told not to overeat sweet stuff. But I love sugar too much! Tried to control for this upcoming appt, and hope it's within 2kg :-/

So nice to see everyone's contributions and similar sentiments to what I am feeling right now!

pinkloving, yes it is me. I just got a call from Susan from Mt A. I emailed my form last week. She said that it's not confirmed till 10 pax sign up and that 5 already sign up. hmm. diff infor? I told her to tell me in advance if cant open the class so that I do not miss other antenatal classes. I also told her that I heard that she has an aug class to which she said that 1 mummy from thurs class and 1 mummy from sat class in aug haven cfm so she opened to public and that the sat has been grabbed. left aug thurs class. Since I only can make it on fri or sat, I opt for Sept class. She said cfm will hve 10 as they never failed to proceed with a full class. Keeping fingers crossed hope she manages to open a class.
 
morning mommies. busy monday morning. i didnt gain any weight over the past 1-2weeks but over the national day holidays, i gained 1 kg in just a few days. really wondering how that is possible. SIGH!

during the last checkup, my placenta is still covering cervix and if it doesnt move up, i should be having a scheduled C-sect at week 37, which will be around 11 Oct. Sounds really soon!!!! on one hand, i cant wait for the baby to be born, so that all the pregnancy related symptoms will end soon, on the other hand, the thoughts of becoming a cow again and pump 8 times a day really "scares" me.

Hullo had lunch? I m drinking bubble tea again! wahahahaha..

Get better soon Kayliz!

Bluenosebear, i agree is it a fab buy.. rem i was the one that promoted it here? hehehehe my high chair, swing, rocker and bouncer are all from FP. if i add them together, i think i would have paid like $600++ and this was like 5 yrs back!

Pinky, i can use my parents' address, just need to do a statutory declaration but there isn't any gd schs around my parents! anyway my sons are with my parents in the day so i m not bluffing..

I am so itchy!!! cannot scratch my crotch! or under my boobs where the new rash just came out!

Arkans, who is ur gynae at Glen E?
 
fuzzybear, what is PUPPS? take care... your baby is growing well which is good news. i envy you only gained 5kg. i alr gained 8 kg at 24 wks. i dread the extra weight... hopefully it's the baby and not me.

had 3 episodes of dizzy spells ytd. quite scary. thank God i was with hubby. think it's cos my jeans were too tight resulting in poor blood circulation. argh!! getting too fat... the maternity jeans i bought in 1st tri cannot fit liao... also starting to feel numbness on my hands quite frequently. any mummies experience that?

arkans welcome! we have the same EDD :)

kayliz, get well soon.

got some baby stuff from friends over the weekend and packed up my storeroom. its now overflowing with baby stuff.
a friend gave us a high chair but her hubby dismantled it. my hubby tried to assemble it but cos no instructions, it was too diff. in the end, we broke the chair. so sian... but then again, we are the 3rd hand.. so not so sayang...
 
Selling away 7-days post natal package for $550.. by a experienced Malay lady. Selling away cos I bought 14-days which hubby thinks its too much.. Interested pls PM me.
 
fuzzybear, Anderson Pri just crossed the mark for balloting this year right? maybe still hv chance for next year? i read to take flaxseed as oral supplement, those capsules kind? i read about dandelion tea too but has never seen it before.

plush84, which durian stall in Balestier did you go to? hubby brought me to the one near the temple and Quality Hotel, the durians were good!

SN, 11 Oct sounds really so so soon! i had lunch at my aunt's place earlier and she was still nagging why i didn't boil any tonics for myself yet and asked when I am going to buy the stuff for confinement lady to cook for me. i told her Oct or Nov then ask her to go with me to buy. :p Looks like you are going to be the 1st one in our thread to pop! :D

btw, who was the mummy tt was trying to arrange for bulk purchase of photo shoot huh? can i know which studio is that and if the bulk purchase is still on? i am considering to go and take preggie shots with my #1! :)
 
More abt PUPPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruritic_urticarial_papules_and_plaques_of_pregnancy
http://www.pregnancycorner.com/being-pregnant/complications/pupps.html
Essentially it is a case of very very bad rashes all over the body with no cure and no way of relieving the itch. Can't put corticosteroids. Moisturisers don't help and neither would calamine lotions. the patches are so big that u look really gross with calamine lotion all over ur neck and legs!

Manawab, how are u feeling? still bleeding? actually dizziness is not uncommon esp if u have poor circulation or low BP. when i prop my legs up in office, i tend to feel dizzy too cos my body is like in an L shape, cutting blood circulation.. so i was told not to prop my legs up unless i m in a 120 deg angle. i get dizzy when i lean forward to work and if i m wearing a tighter pair of pants.

U might want to get ur hb to massage for u.. and get a new pair of jeans.. :)

Little Prince, no leh, Anderson has been balloting for the last 4 yrs for S'pore citizens < 1km. def no chance for me. :(
 
littleprince, yah loh. very fast hor? really mixed feelings. haha. yea, think i will be the first to pop in this forum.

any mommies using mummycents vacuum bags? thinking of ordering to organise my #1's old clothes. haha.
 
SN, why must bb come out at 37 weeks if by c-section? If no issues, shouldn't it still be around 40 weeks for birth?

Fuzzybear, aiyo, u really cham ah this preg round. Can u still sleep at night? No parent's alma mater for your #1 to attend? If not then wait list? Or even call Anderson Pri this yr and see how else you can contribute? Anything to build guang xi with school lor. At least principal knows you're inerested, so come assessing wait list applicants time, hopefully your #1 stands a chance. Or maybe someone may drop out of doing PV and they contact you first if they know you're very keen? You never know. Basically can fight for chance to be in desired school until P3 when GEP causes vacancies in schools' express streams. After that better stay put already. Tell u two stories. My MIL went to her nephew's school on behalf of her brother to talk to principal, then started telling the principal what a wonderful school he had. A lot of hot air la, but principal gave her application form on the spot, so my hubby and his 2nd brother got in with no issues. My mum also similarly expressed interest in my Pri school by waiting outside the principal's office for two days until principal also allowed her to apply.

Pinky, i think hor for a kid to do well, a lot still boils down to parental influence la. Throw any kid into good school doesn't automatically mean the kid will score well.

Mawanab, whoa, take care! Yeah yeah, no tight clothes now. My top was a bit tight ytd, could feel slight difficulty breathing when I came home.
 
fuzzybear, the balloting starts from which phase for Anderson?

SN, super fast lor, cannot imagine going to pop soon.

ankh, eh i don't think now if wait outside the sch, principal will give a chance leh, even if fuzzybear stands outside the school with her preggie tummy and 2 kids in tow. :D so many debates now regarding P1 reg ... haiz, but no harm to be thick skinned and just try all means lor.
 
hello mummies... hope everyone had a great long weekend...
I also had msw on sat sharing with my #1... and I think he ate 1/4 and I finished up the rest of it myself...

SN, I bought from mummycents before and I so lazy to kick start... only did 2 bags of my clothes... :)
 
oh no.. PUPPS sounds itchy... fuzzybear, can check with gynae on how to relief the itch?
i'm not bleeding alr. in fact, the bleeding stopped after gynae applied some cream on the day i saw him. so far so good! keeping fingers crossed.

will start to demand hubby for massages. he's always tired at the end of the day and i feel bad getting him to massage me. didn't dare tell him abt the tight jeans. heh... more reasons to shop for new clothings again! each trimester i get new clothes.

ankh, are you in your 3rd tri? time to shop for new clothes too! heehee...
 
Fuzzybear - glad that your appointment went well and bb growing well! :) Ur hubby really love this princess of yours.. have you both thought of a name for her already?

Xuan - Cheer up, your ankle will heal in no time :)...
My colleague and a friend of mine sprained their ankle badly during their pregnancy...and they had a younger child to take care of also.. I really cannot imagine how they manage through with their broken ankle but things will only get better.
I think preggers really get very clumsy as our tummy grow bigger.. now i walk very slow and make sure i walk with my heels landing first.
Last time i always trip and fall, sprained my ankle 4 times.. there was once I couldn't walk for 3 months - I literally cry almost every other day because i was sooo trapped at home, my husband (at the time was bf) had to move in with me and wheel me around near the bathroom to get myself wash up..

Mawanab - i gave up all my pants and shorts, i put on so much weight that I just couldn't fit into my bottoms anymore.. now living on dresses when i go out...
I haven't feel any numbness yet but alot of indigestion and heartburn after lunch and dinner which makes me very faint...

By the way mummies, do you realized that your urine that are discharged during wee hours/ morning become very yellow compared to day time? Just wondering if its our waste or baby's waste making the urine so yellow.... before sleep I am only eating calcium pills.
 
Ankh, hahah strange u should ask abt slping at night.. starting 1-2 wks back my hips and pelvic area start to hurt like mad when i m turning in bed. i am a side slper and when i slp on my left, my hip really really hurts, like i m overstretching my hip area. i had this bad hip pain for #2 and it is caused by some hip joint issue. thankfully the pain isn't as bad as it was with #2 but starting to worsen again. Anyway i told my gynae abt it and he said not to slp on my left!

However, the itch is causing me to wake up every 2-3hrs to scratch.. urgh i dunno why only the last 3 days new patches developed on my neck and back.. seems to be migrating up my back cos now my shoulder area also have bumps.

Ankh, Little Prince is right abt the P1 registration.. last time u can do all these things, even donate a decent sum to get a slot. nowadays cannot liao. they even state it on the MOE website that donations are NOT allowed. the Principal does have the leeway to allow 1-2 kids to enter provided that they have space but usually if the sch is hot, then they won't have space. I did send an email to 'beg' Anderson to consider us as PV if they have people dropping out of their PV programme. See what they say lor. But what u say is true.. my fren said every sch got gd and bad teachers. so dun over think which sch to send to... most imptly is still how involve the parents are in their child's education and moral upbringing. u agree?

Little Prince, Anderson start balloting for SC < 1km from 2C onwards. it is precisely they limit their PV numbers that there is no balloting in 2B.

Manawab, good to hear that ur bleeding has stopped! Gynae says no way to relieve the itch.. if u read online, there's no way really.. cos preggie women cannot use a lot of meds so our options are super duper limited. only can moisturise and take certain antihistamines which have no effect on me cos i m hypersensitive and have built up tolerance to over-the counter meds.

Arissa, haha yes my hb and his princess.. this morning still had to ask my gynae to check that it is still a gal! Ya we have a few names shortlisted. Hb still mulling over it. for ur yellow urine, u drink less water in the wee hours so naturally ur urine is more concentrated. :)
 
Mawanab - i gave up all my pants and shorts, i put on so much weight that I just couldn't fit into my bottoms anymore.. now living on dresses when i go out...
I haven't feel any numbness yet but alot of indigestion and heartburn after lunch and dinner which makes me very faint...

By the way mummies, do you realized that your urine that are discharged during wee hours/ morning become very yellow compared to day time? Just wondering if its our waste or baby's waste making the urine so yellow.... before sleep I am only eating calcium pills.

yogini, the nutrients in our pre natal multivitamin can also make our urine more yellow.
 
yogini, i think it's the calcium pills that causes the urine to be really yellow. got a friend who hurt his legs at work and had to take calcium pills as part of the recovery. but he stopped after a while cos he couldn't stand the yellow urine...

but we can't stop! anything to keep our precious one healthy and strong ya? :p

fuzzybear, bear with it a while more... it's all going to be worth it!! jiayou!!
 
Mawanab, I only just started 28 weeks, so beginning of 3rd trimester? But my top (maternity some more!) wasn't tight from pregnancy weight gain, it's from putting on weight since i was pregnant with #1! aaargh! Don't dare buy any more clothes. Only 12 weeks left to go till popping time!

Fuzzybear, very much agree about parental involvement. My hubby's side of the family is huge, so I realized his cousins who had positive parental influence tended to do well in school, career etc. Those cousins whose parents were more playful ended up with unstable lifestyles themselves, and it didn't matter whether they went to famous schools or not. Kinda sad to see so much potential wasted, and the subsequent generation further affected negatively too.
 
Wah~~ Jin long never come here liao.. Hehe.. Seems there's alot of new comers.. Or prolly they were also in the FB Nov MTB? Lolz!!! Realized you ladies been talking about the glucose test. What's that???????????????????? Tmr I'm going for my gynae check up, prolly he will do for me, or inform me next time round will do the test??

Middle of the night, my turn to experience leg cramp! Now, my leg still feel e sore.... I was screaming in low tone cos of the pain but my dear hubby asked me whether i was dreaming in the next morning! He was too tired to wake up to check on me.. o_O

Parents play a very impt role as well in nuturing the kids and e kid's character as well ba. Ultimately, is whether the kid wan to excel further...

re: 3rd trim
Shld b 26 weeks onwards or 28 weeks ah? How exciting we are in our 3rd trim soon! Another milestones for us! =DD
 
morning mummies, how's everyone?

pinky, according to babycenter, 3rd trim should start at 28wks.

SN, why schedule a c-seat 3wks earlier? isn't it better to wait another wk? 11Oct is so soon... feel so unprepared for #2. o_O

fuzzybear, 'lucky' u lah. PUPPS after all the bleeding during the early month. :p
 
Good morning!

SN, I think our EDD is very close! I'm also going for c-sec around 37 weeks, but I'm hoping to schedule it after Haji on 15oct :p Only 2 months to go and I have mixed feelings... would like to see baby safe and sound in my arms, yet I will miss the flutterings in my tummy.

carine_ezki, if your gynae didn't mention anything about the glucose test, then most prob don't need to take. It's to test for gestational diabetes if you have the family history. I'm taking the glucose test this Thurs, hope results turn out ok!
 


morning mommies.
ankh, mush, Ideally, of course the longer the baby stays inside the better. but many people with placenta previa major, have episodes of bleeding from week 32 onwards. In the past, doctors will go into kan cheong mode and deliver premature babies (some as premature as 28 weeks) once the mother has bleeding. but in recent years, doctors have adopted the "wait and see" approach as it has been shown that episodes of bleeding will mostly stop. So now, the safe option is to have a scheduled C-sect once the baby is full term ie 37 weeks. I think it's possible to wait later than 37 weeks but then, the longer you wait, the more likely there will be episodes of more bleeding and then emergency C-sect. so i think no point going through all the "scare" also lar.
