Oooh this is nice, think I've seen it before myself. Thanks! Anyone else want to tong pang this from my hubby's trip?
 
Visited my gynae today at week 33 +5. LO is only 1.9kg (from 1.5kg three weeks ago), while I put on 800g. So LO only put on 50% of the weight I put on, as with before. Gynae said LO is growing normally, but my chance of c-sec is high due to my small size (cos pelvis area is likely smaller), unless the bb is tiny then I can give birth naturally. Disappointing coz I'm hoping for natural birth for my 1st child, then I can have more children later with less worry! But it doesn't make sense for me to cut down my food intake just to have LO smaller at full term and increase the chance for natural birth, right?

Also asked gynae about keeping/eating placenta. She didn't say it's toxic, but she did say it is rich in nutrients and therefore prone to breeding bacteria, so it's not a problem eating it IF we know how to handle and prepare it properly. The nutrients can also be lost easily if we don't prepare it correctly. She also does not see the point of eating placenta to get back the nutrients since our diets these days are nutrient-rich anyway. Then she basically repeated what I thought - which is that there is no real scientific evidence either way that eating placenta is useful or harmful. And if I send my placenta to turn into powder and capsules, I have to trust the company to do it properly without contaminating it. Haven't discussed with hubby what his plans are after what she said.

I have been thru.. For my #1 I was looking forward to natural esp when prior to d date.. He was so cooperative turn head down Etc until the last moment gynae say he is big no choice must induce asap cos my body built can't handle his size if he continue to grow at the rate he is growing .. And that is when we made the decision to c sect instead of induce ..
Induce to me is not natural and your body may not listen hence since not natural might as well c sect to cut down risk associated with big baby.

After c sect gynae said we made the right choice cos she took a while to take him out and if natural I might ended up emergency c sect cos my pelvis may not be big Enuff for him lolz

IMHO be it natural or c sect .. Whichever choice you made doesn't not make you a lesser mom
 
When i told my fren my bb is 2.35kg at 34w5d.. She said its small.. But when i checked online, its ok leh..

Anyways i heard frm ppl that forehead thermometer is better than ear. Is it true?

Ask the TMC mummies who have done their pre-admission online - If I have not selected a PD, and will use what is recommended by the gynae/hospital, what should I put in for the part which ask you to state the name of your selected PD??

How do you decide which PD to use, btw?? Do you need to visit the PD before you deliver??
Click to expand...

I'm choosing the cheapest, non badly rated / more highly rated PD on the SBI/FBI list so that can enjoy the SBI/FBI discount. Else I would have signed up the SBI/FBI for nothing.
Just realised if eligible for the dragon horse promo, then cannot claim the $100 discount on single bedded that SBI/FBI offers

Right now I just want to be as comfy as possible. I stop wearing my maternity work pants because the elastic keep biting into my under bump, very uncomfy....

Think I still have enough maternity clothes to last me till delivery, but some of the non-maternity ones are getting a bit tight, so hope my tummy doesn't grow too much between now and delivery.....
Click to expand...
For me I bought 2 maternity work pants but wore once stopped wearing already cos feeling uncomfortable at lower tummy so all these while I'm prefer dress. Haha to me is bb must grow as much as she can lol...

I am worry for LO weight. Everyday telling her must absorb the healthy food that I ate. My last review on 3
28 weeks she was 965g gynae said okie but when I checked with my blood dr she said okie but in lower side so wanna build up her weight. These two weeks trying to eat beef, pig organs, pao sheng n bird nest. Haha scared too little also cos eating abit only as seldom taks beef or pig organs. Fingers crossed for ideal weight :)

I have gained 13kg. envy those who gained less than 10kg. I gained 18 to 20kg for my 1st 2 pregnancies. took me 6 months to return back to pre preg each time. this time I try to keep below 15kg so not so 辛苦 after that. last 2 weeks only gained 0.5kg. hopefully in the last month, the most gained 1kg.

Shouldn't be, since 36 weeks considered full term and good weight for bb....

I want my bb to be between 3-3.4kg... hopefully. I won't know till next week when I visit gynae, though my own weight seems to have gone up the past 3 weeks. :oops::oops:

I want my bb to (hopefully) come out week of 12/01 though I am due 23/01... Any date also can, cuz I want natural... hahahah

I also cannot control my weight gain tt well le lei... I realize that even with diet control... I am steadily gaining weight but I not eating anything eh very sinful everyday lei.. compare to my 2nd tri which I really wack what I like...

I am aiming for 5 Jan tt wk for induce, hopefully bb will want to come out before my induce date....
Something funny to share, my MIL heard that i am inducing so she flip the Chinese calendar and see if that wk got any good dates anot... i think that wk not very good.. she give us the weird look and ask my hub to seek master advice for a date.. my hub was like. eh... induce lei... choose date also bo bao will come out tt day.. :p ended up i think i will just avoid the dates which she felt is not very good and choose the day after to induce. :p
