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?
Click to expand...
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?

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
Click to expand...

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

ciakes said:
http://www.countthekicks.org/faq/
Many sites say 10 kicks within 2 hrs
Click to expand...
within 2hrs abt too much bah


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.

My twinnies both well.. Confirm 1 boy and 1 girl.. Girl weighs 470g, boy weighs 555g..

Dr ananda commented that their fluid level a little high, need to be on medication to prevent fluid level increasing.. If not might have preterm labor..

u are not alone i also dunno it can post a problem

so i did a google and this is what i found ..so yours is identical twin izzt ..maybe that is why

http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a551936/polyhydramnios

What causes polyhydramnios?
It's difficult to find the cause of polyhydramnios. In about two thirds of cases, no cause can be found. The extra fluid could be due to a problem with your baby, the placenta, or with your own health.

Possible causes are:
  • Diabetes, when your blood sugar levels aren't well controlled. Your baby produces more urine, which increases the volume of amniotic fluid. Your doctor will give you a glucose tolerance test to check your blood sugar levels.
  • Being pregnant with identical twins, where twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome has developed.
  • A complication with your baby which is stopping the fluid going through his system. This could be due to a blockage in his food pipe (oesophagus) or a problem with his muscle control. This will mean he can't swallow amniotic fluid and regulate the amount that's around him.
  • A chromosomal abnormality, such as Down's syndrome or Edwards' syndrome.
  • If you have an infection such as parvovirus (known as slapped cheek disease) or toxoplasmosis.

yah hor

hers is

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy.[1] Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal"), meaning that they develop from two eggs, each fertilized by separate sperm cells.[2]


Zygosity is the degree of identity in the genome of twins. There are five common variations of twinning.

The three most common variations are all dizygotic (fraternal):[14]

  • Male–female twins are the most common result, 50 percent of dizygotic twins and the most common grouping of twins.

my cloth diapers is to act as temp pillow or changing mat or temp bed sheet :p
 
my specialist told me ytd that some women naturally got water retention drinking more water also don't really help.
She suggest to drink at least 2 litre per day. good for amniotic fluid too.
