@mama_joanne , great! At least your mom can settle your meal, think she'll more or less help out with the kids when she comes over so you can at least take a good nap with your baby in the afternoon. Hire a part time helper with the rest of the housechores is a good idea.

Your #2 is c-sec or natural? If is c-sec, I feel that you shld c-sec to avoid any complication.

I had c-sec in 2012 now going into 28weeks, i can always feel pulling muscle pain at the cesarean area which Dr. said it's normal as just c-sec not too long ago.

But c sec wound get longer to heal..scared of the pain. Ya I c sec in 2012 too. Now already gain around 12kg..trying so hard to control but cant..
 


Joanne, I'm able to take care of my new born after discharge but only bathe her 1-2 weeks later as it requires me squatting. So me and my mom took turns on alternate night so on my 'off' night i get to drink dom before bed. My recovery for #2 is so much faster than #1 not sure is it due to I use binder immediately after c-sec for #2.

If you opt for c-sec maybe just clean your new born instead of bathe until you are ready.

Check with your gynae if VBAC is possible for you as my Dr. don't recommend this to me.

Hope everything goes well ;)

Really hate the urgent feeling, just step out of bathroom after bathe, then have to go in to pee again. But only urine abit... sigh
Feel that I'm getting heavier and heavier. Think I'd gain 10kg already. My kneecap and foot is painful sometimes.

Me too!! Think I leak sometimes when I sneeze. So embarrassing. Prob weak pelvis after my no.1.
Is it affected by natural birth? Sobzzzz
 
Oh yes leak when sneeze, i forget to mention this. Me sometimes too.

Bladder seems to be very full when feeling urgent, difficult to tahan till toilet, like anytime urine will come out.

Me c-sec leh also can't hold for too long, think it's the hormones now.

Haha.. once i can't hold my motion also. Soiled my panty when i thought i need to let out gas.. so messy.
 
Me too.. I will leak a bit if cough or sneeze. Now I have start to wear panty liners & change when needs.

Now getting more & more excited.. Left 90 days for me.. :)
 
I bought combi stroller when i have #1 too , love the easy to fold and it's absolutely sturdy , brought it around $300++ in 2009, recently i went to kpo and check it out and realised it's now selling at least $450-500. I blessed to my friend when my #1 is almost 2yrs old because my #1 prefer to walk by her own and we normally used carrier at crowded place. Just last month, my friend return all my blessed stuff back to me.. and it's almost 5years but the stroller is still working well... so i highly recommend combi for is durable and lightweight.
As for breastpad, I used pigeon's disposable breast pad and breast shells to collect the excess milk... both work well for me and i intend to get back the same for this time round.
I hate leaking too!!! sometime when i laugh hard or sneeze, it will happened.. so frustrating.. even as much as i need to change another pantyliner...

Thank you!

Hi mummies,

Wanna ask how many set of clothes we need to bring over to hospital? During labour, we wear our own clothes or hospital will provide us? Any idea for those who will give birth at Mt. A? I'm totally can't rmb how it is during my #1 at Mt. A.
 
After admitted hospital, they got me to change into the hos gown for my c-sec. Will sleep in this gown till next day when i can walk to the toilet myself and change into my own pyjamas . For my case I need total 2 sets pj on 2nd and 3rd day. 4th day go home so need to prepare a new set of clothes.

Thanks for the info agaga.. I think I need to prepare 2 set just in case as I'm normal delivery will be 3 days 2 nights for me. At least get a spare set too..
 
Just asking, anyone of you sneak to bathe in the hospital? Seems very cold in the hospital cos got aircon. Silly q : any water heater and hair dryer at the hos? Thinking to wash clean clean then go home start confinement.

Rhonna..

Sch term has started I m can feel the fatigue ! Esp after work , rushing back for dinner and coach my p1 girl. Flat out at 10 plus. Same, really hope time pass faster !
 
@ lala

Yeah,so tiring ned to wake up 6am and prepare all d stuff for my daughter.lucky ds 2nd pregnancy i fel ok.so far so good.im lucky also my daughters school just beside our block
 
Preg with #2 I still have the strength to prepare my gal for school in the morning, now preg #3 with 21mo still wake up 1-2x for midnight feed. Totally got no strength to wake up at 6am. I'm lucky with my parents help. But still, got to help my gal with her homework and seriously P5 maths & science are driving me crazy :(
 
@agaga

Wow i salute u. U still can wake up early. Cant imagine nxt time my daughter will b p5 also.hahahaha too much stress already.
 
Haha... i actually kudos to you all full time working mummies, already so stress through the rushing hours and still make it a point to cook everyday. After clean up the kitchen still got to teach kids with homework. And not forgetting spending some quality time with hubby. I call these superwomen.
 
Agaga..

I cheated lol.. I don't cook on weekdays. I order tingkat. Initially plan to cook but found out preggie soon after Sch year starts.

I m already struggling w coaching p1 work.. Can't imagine p5!
 
Lol... Lala, i know the stress and time consuming if do all by yourself. I rather tabao from coffeshop or order pizza when otw home from work. I'm actually looking for a tutor for my gal cos too heat up when comes to coaching as i can get real mad when my gal seems boh chap.. sigh.. my friends said "it's your turn now, see how u got your mom mad in the past"
 
Agaga

Your no1 and 2 are ard 7-8 years apart ? Do u mind sharing how do u prep your no1 for having a sibling ? I m worried how my girl will take it when bb is out as she has been the only child/grandchild for so many years .
 
Lala, #1 was 9yo so quite easy and she understand what pregnancy, new sibling is about. She helped me to picked up things, do house chores out of own willingness when she see me tummy too big to move about. But I'm quite surprised to see her weeping at the hospital, i think she's touched and got emo. These 21 mths came along, i always pointed out how she was cared for when she's younger and she totally understand.

Now, #1 (11yo) still kiss my tummy and tell #2 that mei mei is inside, come and saiyang...

Now my worry is, how to prepare my #2 (23mo) when #3 arrives? Shld i bring her to hospital? Shld i get her a gift say mei mei buy for her??

Do u hv the burning sensation??
 
@verine22

Maybe is heart burn.. I have almost the same feeling too on last few days. Feel uncomfortable on chest, like can't breath well.. It happens twice on me.
 
@lervia n angel_loi

Dont find it burning but jabbing pain.. and its only on one spot.. if i press onto the area, its painful too..

After i sit up straight or not lying down, it takes awhile for the pain to go away..

Is this heartburn? I worried its something else..

Yes.. i bathe too.. TMC got hot shower & hair dryer. Just make sure you dry yourself before coming out to the aircon. Of cos i get my hubby to watch out for my mom or mil else they sure will nag.
Lol.

Change to own clothes after first night. nicer mah.. people come visit you also see you in nicer clothes. keke
 
@verine22, better seek medical help. Dont take any chances.

BTW mommies, by when must we book hospital?? i have yet to decide on one.. Horse year must book early?
 
@verine22 , i experienced 2x last week, almost the same as you but accompanied by can't-breath, took antacid after awhile okay le so i guess is heart burn lor.
 
Dr. did a 3D scan for me today, so happy to 'preview' LO's face today at wk28.. haha.. luckily i had been sleeping on my left more often so enough water to do this 3D and baby in good position.. hehe.. last night before i sleep i told LO to be corporative in order to take nice pic for me to bring home to show ah ma & ah gong.

Baby weighs 1.1kg and I gained 11kg in total.. omg i think my carbo intake too much!
 
Checked with Dr. with female or male sterilisation. He said ligation has nothing to do with hormonal changes and advise ligation is better since i already cesarean. So I'm opting TMC again. Sigh, hate the traffic there.
 
if its gastric, then prob i kena about 2 months ago. Mine is sudden pain in between rib area leh...above the tum. i keep puking sour stuff lor until i tot i almost want to die.
Called doc and he suspect is gastric and ask me to go buy medicine over the counter. i popped actal and after that recover.

Verine, must book for hospital for delivery mah..

@agaga, your bb so cooperative. Mine during the detailed scan have to scan twice cos he refused to move. i'm approaching 24 weeks now..think i exploded over the past monht.. wonder how much weight i put on already. When must we start drinking coconut water ah? 32 weeks?
 
My 28weeks scan will be this coming Thursday. So excited to see my LO.. Have been waiting a month. After this scanning, is every 2 weeks check up for me.

My gynae said need to book hospital during my 30 weeks. I think advise to book in advance better.
 
@angel_loi, so you & @agaga is beginning oct.. if same hospital can visit each other.

All the best this thurs. every 2 weeks, then every 1 week.. i can't wait for it to come.. then we can all enjoy xmas with our newborn! :) think of it really chase my monday blue away.

Hi angel_loi, then v same hospital, Mt.A...my edd is 15 Oct 2014, but i not sure bb will come out early or not as my first 2 pregnancy were induced at 37 weeks...i oledi booked the hospital, now is very troubled looking for a good CL...
 
@verine22 , antacid was given during 1st trimester.

@Baobei2014 , i strongly believe in 'tai jiao' You will affect your baby somehow. Try to stay calm ya.
I had very bad r/s with my 1st hubby when I'm preg with #1. I'm unhappy everyday. I realised my #1 is not happy type and she's petty. Abit abit will cry when she's younger.
With my new hubby and #2, I'm happy and laughing everyday. True enough, this #2 seldom cry, always laughing. Even fall down also nvr cry.

@angel_loi , ya.. I'm going TMC in mid Sept

@leocub , not too sure abt FB cos i don't have acc. I agree that thread quite slow. Or is it there's alot of silent reader here? I'll try to contribute here cos i believe many mummies like me still need info abt pregnancy, parenthood, relationship..etc.. although got experience already.
 
@agaga, thanks for the input on "tai jiao". i must remb to be jovial then..cos now i often flare up with no. 1 and hubby. Your no. 2 sounds really cute.
Yes. agreed. even though we are mommy alr..a lot of things i can't remb.. so need this thread to remind me.
 
I agree that we must stay happy during preg. When I was preg w no1, I was very worrisome. My girl also turn out to be like that .

I m also delivering in tmc. I find that tmc is getting v crowded. I will be taking 4 bedder and hopefully can get free upgrade to two bedder.

I also balloon a lot after crossin 24 week .. Gained 8 kg and hopefully LO gain more weight as well
 


@agaga
I nv given antacid during my 1st trimester leh.. only those multivit.. maybe i shall visit a GP, last night i also have the pain..
