Ya, only 35 mins from reaching hospital to baby born!my god! her labour was so short .... lucky her!
I find having a gal very stressful! hahaha wiping of butt very different from wiping boy's butt.. i worry i give her UTI or some infection! dunno how to tell if i wipe clean enough!fuzzybear, ankh's and mine know mummy has something to attend to, so still tahan inside, I hope my 6 sense that she will be overdue is real, at least got some more time to finish my work.

That's my main worry and concern as well! Totally unprepared!I find having a gal very stressful! hahaha wiping of butt very different from wiping boy's butt.. i worry i give her UTI or some infection! dunno how to tell if i wipe clean enough!
Didn't know I am not alone, worrying about how to take care of a girl, my girdfriend told me, its simple, just clean her like how you would clean yourself! But the LC who demo how to bath a baby, said no need to open up, and if worry, then use some clean water to wash, if they poo, and yes, from front to back!fuzzybear, i think i also stress over tt. i hv no prior experience in taking care of girls lor. must wipe fm front to back right?
Precisely! i dunno need to 'open' up or not! i just do lor. rather be clean than giving her an infection. damn stress abt it leh!! i scared i hurt her.. then my hb also dunno what to do.. the way he cleans make me wanna do it all over again cos he dun dare to open!Didn't know I am not alone, worrying about how to take care of a girl, my girdfriend told me, its simple, just clean her like how you would clean yourself!

first class womb!good day mummies, finally have the time to log in.
finally its my turn to go on AL tomorrow and monday, ML kicks in on tuesday (my EDD)
back from gynae visit at 39w2d, still no signs of labour
did ctg scan today and ended up with a boring constant graph
ah dale, yes AYE jam everyday.... so muz speak to your bb... especially raining this few days...
ankh, this afternoon when I almost bite myself when chewing food, I drank 1 thai botak coconut, still have no chance to see those green coconut with husk, I work from home, in ulu woodlands, only get to go out on weekends.Wow now finally catch up with everything plus Val's delivery. Cannot believe she's so cool about it. Velly velly de zai lady ah u, Val!
Febie, for #1's delivery hubby actually went back home for one plus hours. He came back, couldn't do anything, got sent out by me to ask for epi, and wasn't allowed back into delivery room until I was about to push bb out. I can only conclude having laughing gas is a lot more useful than a hubby during labour LOL!
3xmum, ooh, client quite demanding. Quickly go drink more coconut to xiao ri.
Little prince, signed my girl up at Jiang Education Ctr. No no, cannot bed rest!
Fuzzybear, yeah lor, must make womb comfy comfy. Dare not encourage #2 to come out yet.
Ah dale, hope u can make it sui sui to the ward!
Twinnie87, hehe join the bb dun want to come out club aka mummy needs bb stay in womb club
Cleaning bb girls, I only remember cleaning front to back and never allowed myself any other direction. Think got wipe the folds a little. Oh no, I also cannot remember! Oh yeah, pee dribbles out, but poo can spurt out!
Sigh, my mum can be real killjoy. Went out with her to one of her fav veg restaurant for dinner. During makan make so many comments about the food I ordered for myself. In the end like can't eat anything. So miserable. Then realize I also do the same to #1! Oh no, when do we stop being our mothers? And all I can think is my mum will be the type of mil that gets complained about by her future dil. Haiz.
Congrats! Peilee, when's your EDD btw? Big baby girl ., well done! I totally agreed that Epidural is magic, both my 2 pregnancies have it, this time round gynae asked if I want it, and ask me to tell the nurse when I go into labour. Get the LC in the hospital to help you while you are still in the hospital, to learn to latch properly, you get sore nipples, if your baby only latch on your nipple, and not the entire of your aerola, only latch when your baby's mouth widely openedI have popped!!! My girl is 3.5kg, induced natural with epi. Epidural is like magic!!! I only dilate for 2cm after induced for 6hrs. Then gynae broke water bag n i suffer the pain for another 1hr. But contraction still not strong enuf n only dilate 3cm. So i ask for epi. N i pop within 3hrs... Hahaha... So happy... But now i m suffering sore & almost crack nipple. Feel so bad tat cant latch properly..![]()
pinkyloving, thanks, I am just trying my best to do what I can. My marketing manager was asking if they pushed me too hard yesterday, that's why my tummy pain yesterday morning. Actually, there's no other solution right now for what I am facing, just do it, and when labour comes, then like littleprince says, let nature takes its course. yeah, need to cool myself, if not, constipation may come too!Peilee, congrates!! U popped at what week? Ur bb girl is at a v good weight! Dun b demoralised abt e latching part. We need time to learn.
3rdtimemum, you are really the "nan ren bei hou de nu ren"... every success man will have a woman behind supporting. And you are e one! I hope u dun get too stressed up. Try to relax okay. Ya drink watermelon and coconut drink to reduce heaty.
littleprince, oh, my coll complain to me oso abt her boy reached sec sch totally dun wan to mix w e family. He rather go out w his peers. I tink this is e stage where we will start to "lose" him.... I hope can bring out a family day culture in my family like every Sunday is a must for family day. It would be really nice to have such a bond weekly.
ah dale, take care! May u have a smooth delivery!
ankh, 1.5 days to go! Im sure bb heard you. Maybe bb oso wan to see jiejie grad oso... (if i dun rem wrongly u #1 is a girl?).
xuan, jus take it easy ba..e more u wan e more bb dun wan to come out. Are you on ML aldy?
fuzzybear, i attended the prenatal class. Midwife said clean from front to back. Need to "open e fold" to clean..else not v clean right?
Val, CONGRATES!!!!!!!!! Your delivery is super fast and you r damn zai lo. Steady! Hope ur hubby fix e remaining things out while u r at hospital.
Hi czlyf, my EDD 4 Nov, but I hope baby can tahan as long as possible, I ask my 5year old to talk to mei mei, ask her to come out later, then he said he already told mei mei to come out earlier! Pretty worried when going to the toilet these days, worried I see show, worried water bag break etc, even though 3rd time, but still got anxietyCongrats Val & Peilee!!!
Am 36weeks today and will be going to see my gynae today. Had a false alarm and scare on Sunday when I saw a spot of blood on my panties early morning. But I checked.. no injury down there and was wondering if that was a show. Monday went to do ctg but no contraction.. cervix check also can't find what's the reason for the blood. So went home and slept super well. Didn't know I was that worried
Am scheduling my operation on 13 Nov when my EDD on 29 Nov. Abit worried if it's scheduled too early. But gynae already told me since at 34wks my girl is already around 2.8-3kg, she will be as big or bigger than my first bb (boy born at 3.35kg). Had a super long labor for my boy, I just can't dilate, end up took epi after 7 hours of labour and then after another 7 hours of wait, gotta do emergency c-sect coz baby distress.. sigh.
How is caring for a bb girl like? How different is from a bb boy? I noted the earlier posts about cleaning down there. I have heard my friend's daughter getting UTI and it was a long tedious treatment process.. poor girl.
Wonder how many mommies will pop today! 1st day of Nov!!
I registered my son when he was P4 or 5 at Jiang as well, that time, he is willing, as he goes with his cousin who is 1 year older, but then his Chinese is really CMI type, so its a challenge for him to be in a group tuition environment!he dropped out after 1 term. Then had 1 to 1, it's expensive, but also didn't help much, so stop totally when he goes to P6, fortunately his P6 teacher puts in a lot of effort, giving extra tuition after school, and he managed to get a B for PSLE, as long as he passes, my expectation is that low. But Sec Chinese is really too difficult these days, he plans to do B, as his plan is to go poly, instead of JC, so he has decided to give up Chinese, and concentrate on other subjects. I was worried he may fail his Sec 1, as he doesn't study for exam.good morning mummies, am on leave today! now waiting for air con to finish servicing my room air con, i also completed one laundry tub of baby clothings, now hanging out to dry!
didn't feel too well last night leh, i think i had more BH contractions than usual. left office at 8pm and showered then rest till hb bought dinner home for me at 10pm. went to sleep after dinner, today still feel like very heavy when i am walking.
ankh, Jiang!! you got to travel all the way to Bugis? i was considering Jiang for #1 but think of the traffic, wait time and distance, i decided not to. signed up for Wang Lao Shi instead at Eastgate (Katong), similar concept to Jiang, also 3 hrs class.
Peilee, congrats!
pinky, thirdtimemum, that is exactly my greatest concern lor. we have all been through that stage too (i also gallivanted after sch with my gfs till at night then go home, did all the wrong things though i didn't go too wrong la) esp when my grandparents were too old to mind me. its just so easy to sink into bad influence and not everyone can get out and walk a different direction when need be. so bond all we can now with our kids and yes, must have a regular family outing day and keep to it,
febie, yarrr! knowing their friends will mean we can also have extra spies around for us! and its better for their friends to come to our place to play than for our kids to go to other people's house to play!
I think he's excited about mei mei, he kept saying he wants to stay over in hospital with me and mei mei, and that he wants to carry mei mei! He is always saying mei mei is the prettiest! From young, he's always afraid of loud noise, he would cry at the sound of people renovating, and some weird sound at night, I think that was due to one time, my ex helper was turning on a kitchen appliances which was very loud, and when he was sleeping, he woke up with a loud cry. Last night I was telling him, when mei mei is born, he will be a gor gor, not a didi anymore, and must be brave, and he agrees, he said he shouldn't be afraid of those noises anymore!Hi Third3timemom...did you ask why your son ask mei mei to come out earlier? I find kids seriously has the cutest intepretation and logics of things around them. Simple adorable and somethingsthey say just take all of us by surprise!
Don't worry too much.. you are on your home stretch!! So excited and happy for you!
Yeah going to C sect coz gynae says baby too big for me. That's why I am concerned... I worry that baby is not ready to come out and I am forcing her to come out
Guess I am also the worrying type of momhahaha...
Good morning...
Val you really can consider #4 lor... your birth is super fast, preggy is bliss, and best is you did not use any epi and laughing gas for all 3...
Congrats Peilee...
