magl, i will be doing the jab to be safe. baby is on small side. 2 jabs total cost $70 plus i think ok for peace of mind. i will likely be going for epi/spinal depending on what doc recommands. i think ga baby comes out a bit groggy so i will avoid that. :)

My gynae recommended GA.. my initial plan was epi but then he say will affect spine that's why having second tots now..

Thank u mummies for the positive words... Thank god.. Today went to see gynae... My bb gal is doing fine.. 36weeks.. Almost 2.7kg.. My doc now suddenly say I dun have to deliver at 38weeks.. I can hold baby till full term.. Which he best advice now... He say now my bb gal doing very well.. I'm doing very well too...

And I get to see her face clearly today and it's the first time doc print out her 3D scan for me.. But it cost me $25 for just the 3D photo itself.. :)

View attachment 400242

Just to share some happiness.. :) doc say she is a chubby baby..

Ur bb will be fine. Very sorry to hear abt yr sis' bb. I think the best thing now is for u guys to be sensitive to yr sis' emotional needs.. Cos it's gonna be hard for her to see u with a healthy full term bb and for her to grief over her terminated late stage pregnancy. I had a 27w so I know. Time will heal her wound
 
magl... i think diff doc.prefer diff things? but in the end is what we prefer bah.
christin3k... baby looks cute! so sorry about your sis. pls get her to tc
 
@christin3k oh dear I am so sorry to hear that. It's true that it is most likely other kinds of genetic diseases since oscar only detect diseases that has 3 copies of the gene like DS. But there are other diseases whereby baby only inherit one copy n only will show up during detailed scan. Condolences to your sister I hope she will stay strong. Since she is young, there is a good chance to try again later on when she recovers. Try to b there for her as much as u can ya. In the meantime u take care too n glad to know your baby is chubby n healthy.. Enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy ya

Thanks.. Ya.. She went thru even further tests on even more rare diseases.. But everything comes out normal... It's very disheartening when the actually reason behind it isn't simple..

Now worried that this isn't a case to case thing.. Now even the doc is worried her next pregnancy may face the same thing cos it's genetic problem... :(

normally if it's above 37 weeks wouldn't need the steriod jab. Which gynae are u seeing?
Click to expand...

Hi... I agree too, I don't think you need the jab/just to play safe. Personally I took the jab. Cos I had some mucus plug on week 30, was admitted to hospital and diagnosed to deliver within 72 hours. So I took the jab. Luckily I managed to last through and after 3 weeks of bed rest I should be fine but likely to give birth around week 36. My gynae told me after week 33/34, it's already considered quite good so I don't think you need the jab really. Btw it hurts super bad!
 
magl said:
For those who are delivering early did the doctor ask you all to go for steroid injection for bb lungs?
Click to expand...

The jab is very painful and costly. My colleague who delivered her boy at week 32 due to water bag leaking, share with me.
I dun think you need it... my another collegue who also delivered her boy at week 36.. normal condition.. no need the jab too.
 
Did any of u all got rashes on elbow and both legs during pregnancy time? Gp dr said rashes come n go as now i am alright and it could be due to food. I called gynae he said shld be safe shld not be any effect on me or bb. That means np right? Cos I v worry n scare lor.

Dun worry.. I was having rashes all over my feet and leg during 2nd trimester and was itchy like mad.. It will go off.. It's the hormones that is making the rashes come and go.. :)

The only thing u need to do is.. Know how to stop the itch without using medications... I bought organic baby wash and cream.. It works.. :)

Doc usually will say is food.. But wat I trace back usually not due to the food I take.. Lol..

I bought it online.. It's call Jo Lauren.. It's local.. And it's good.. Can share with bb to use next time too.. Lol!

I bought the organic Castile wash, the oatmeal bath to soak my legs and the miracle palm to apply when I feel the itch..

But the food is what I usually eat that's why I don think is food cause it. The gp dr words scare me early in the morning till i called clinic to ask called gyane to ask also lor.
So in total u bought 3 wash? Deliver to our place?

Hi mummies,

Want to let out something that is on my mind.. Previously I did mention my elder sister is pregnant too... Recently, after she did her detail scan at 20weeks.. Doc found out that her bb's kidney and stomach is all filled with water...

Her water bag fluid is too much.. And baby's nasal bone abit short... She went through lots of tests and scan...

Doc advice to terminate the pregnancy before 24weeks... Ystd everything had been confirmed. Her bb suffer from facial deformalities and her doc cannot confirm if her bb will be born normal.. Her bb 3D scan shows that her bb's nose is sunken in...

Everything tends to show its genetic problem.. My mum had been feeling so stressed up and upset.. She couldn't let go.. While I'm feeling upset... Yet I feel so helpless cos I can't do a thing.. And I'm so near to delivery date.. Im physically and mentally tired and stress..

My sis will be going thru surgery next week to terminate the pregnancy. Her bb will go thru DNA test and autopsy.. To see wat really went wrong.. Sigh.. I'm so worried about my bb now.. Thinking my bb gal won't be as fine.. :( I'm feeling so paranoid now..
Click to expand...

Really sorry to heard that christin3k. but u and yr sis are 2 separate issues. pls stay a happy heart for yr lo.

Yup! Deliver to my place.. Can do online purchase.. Can use very long leh.. My wash still got 1/3 of the bottle.. Cos not everytime use.. I use it during my super itchy period.. When press out its foam.. It's not very soapy.. But 1-2pump is enough to cover the affected area..

The oatmeal bath I only use a few times.. And it smells nice.. Skin will be soft after tat.. Lol..

Anyone using Hiruscar on your stretchmarks? Thought of buying...got ugly scars suddenly on my thighs n lower sides of tummy:(

Now seeing gynae once a week...wonder if this is cos my baby is big? 2.48kg at 34wks+4 days. Baby movement like also less frequent...is it cos she has less space to move? Although there are 10 movemts evry 2 hrs

My hospital bag packed already...still working though...everyday tired....sigh!!

Lol! He trying to calm me down these few weeks.. Cos I'm extreme nervous about the process of labour.. I'm someone who is so afraid of pain... So it's hard to imagine not to scream at the top of my lungs during labour..

Worries flushes in almost everyday.. Worried can't natural birth.. Worried need to go thru c-sect.. Worried can't tahan pain.. Worries bb gal come out will have problem.. A lot ah.. I'm going insane..

My bb gal catching up on the weight.. Lucky.. So far my weight gain stopped leh.. I only gain like 200g every week n tat goes to the bb.. So still heng. Haha.. I gain 20kg Liao leh.. Thinking how am I suppose to throw those fats away after birth..

Not forgetting I'm worrying I got no bm for bb too! Being a first time mum is really challenging I can say!

I agree! My hub had been massaging my whole back and my legs every night since 2nd trimester!

It's comforting and make my aches go away and sleep better.. But recently the massages not taking much effect.. Cos bb pressing too much on my pelvic bone.. And cos my nerves to ache like hell..

Mummies! Get ur hub to contribute abit in this pregnancy!
