my gynae mention abt monitoring baby movements during 3rd trimester. why must we do this? to establish baby's activity pattern? has it got anything to do with labour timing?

Think probably to ensure that baby is ok? Read somewhere that we shd be able to feel baby's movements at least 10 times in an hr. Some sites give other stats..

Dun worry

I also had a bad scare with the sonographer. ... twice... lol

Juz now i juz went for a rescan.

Inside she very serious looking n quiet. Suddenly ask me i got take calcium or not i say no coz my gynae says not time yet.
Then she ask what abt milk.. i also says no coz i dun like milk.

Then she kept quiet. So i ask her. Is it anything wrong ? She say she prefer dun answer n let her finish the scan. Later the doc will advise us.

So seriously looking lor.. i was thinking die liao lah like this...

Then outside wait awhile for the doc. N doc says its ok...

My next gynae visit is 2 weeks later.

I think i will still prefer to wait for the final answer from my own gynae.

The ppl in the adc kkh like very confusing. .. they say 1 thing but their face like telling us another thing...makes me so anxious


But hubhy still prefer to believe baby is ok...

So baby is ok now :) guess i have to force more milk down my throat :)

I agree with you tt the pp there quite confusing! But ok believe that our babies are ok one.

Think you can ask your doc on the calcium pills.. I started mine like first appt she gave me one bottle liao. But I eat every other day instead of everyday, cos if not will get constipation :(
If can't drink milk eat iron rich food like spinach and red meat?

Something I noticed also, for me, I'm more prone to stomach cramps when I lay on my back w my legs stretched out. But when I turn to my side n keep my knees bended, I will instantly feel better.

I discovered why Amazon only charged me USD 39 to ship the cot to Singapore. Cos for that particular model n color, they made a mistake in the shipping weight, n listed it as 5 pounds, instead of ~50 pounds for the other colors! Hehehe!:D

amazon no longer shipping that particular cot to Singapore, did they ship direct to Singapore or through a 3rd party?

Do I need to keep track of my baby's kicks?

For an added sense of security, many practitioners recommend that after 28 weeks, you formally monitor your baby's movements at least once or twice a day. There are lots of different ways to do these "kick counts," so check with your caregiver about how she wants you to track your baby's movements. Here's one common approach: Choose a time of day when your baby tends to be active. (Ideally, you'll want to do the counts at roughly the same time each day.) Sit quietly or lie on your side so you won't get distracted. Time how long it takes for you to feel ten distinct movements — kicks, twitches, and whole body movements all count. You should feel at least ten movements within two hours. (Don't worry; it probably won't take that long. Sometimes you'll feel ten kicks within the first ten minutes.) If you don't feel ten movements in two hours, stop counting and call your midwife or doctor.
