4cm and you still working? Omg...

Maybe your gynae think u still can wait? Cos that time i dilated 1.5cm, my gynae already ask me admit myself hosp and on that day he burst my waterbag as my waterbag is getting smaller. SO no choice.

Haha.. for no 1, he also told me 1-2cm dilated and i immediately took leave to wait at home but nothing happen till 1 week later was induced.. so this time i was thinking just wait another few days or a week to see how.. haha

Hmm he just tell me to get ready anytime else next week choose a day to break water bag..

U very daring !!if for me I would ask him admit me liao...

But also coz u are at week 36 now only right ? Thus gynae may wanna wait till 37 weeks before he decide anything.. Coz 37 weeks then consider full term

Hi Daplian, can go poly clinic, NB has priority queue..my no 1 went there almost daily to get pricked for one month...waiting time is minimal. It's courtesy to inform your PD if u are not going back I guess..for my case, the jaundice level rose to a level that I have to admit my gal for phototherapy b4 the scheduled pd appt...so I just told them she is already in KKH now.

You can go poly clinic for jaundice test. If you want to take 5 in 1 there, can book the appointment there also. The 5 in 1 is free for Singaporean. 6in 1 is chargable. Can't remember the pricing.

Jaundice test is $12.50

I went abt 8 times. Tired. Some days the waiting is abt an hour some days less than 15mins

Have I congrats you ? Hahah memory failure Sia... Congrats you again for having first baby of 2015 and welcome to motherhood !

Dun stress .... its alright... all babies have jaundice to certain extend....

did u sun ur baby ? Or u can try the traditional method to bathe ur baby in the Jin yin hua... go Chinese medical hall can buy liao
 
Speaking about jaundice, how do we know if the bb develops jaundice after return from hospital and without the doctor? Is it very obvious from the skin colour?

Dont be so stressful. Every baby sure will have jaundice. My nos. 1 also the same. I also went to Polyclinic to check. Think u can bring your bb to "sun" before 8 or 9am for a short while (provided the jaundice is not that high). That is what i did previously.

Relax ya. You can make it.

Tmc told me to bring my own pj when I join the hospital tour.

Now my cousin told me to drink chicken essence before admitting to hospital. Said it helps when pushing. Dun noe hw true.

The nurse told me my fever during delivery could be because I drank chicken essence before admitting. She said it causes the heart to beat faster and raises the body temp. Dunno how true..

horror of horrors.... 1 char siew pau and 1 lian yong pau spiked my reading to 9.2.
back to multigrain bread for me.
from these few mths of taking readings I realize how scary some food can be! the amt of sugar added is horrendous although one may not taste it
Click to expand...
Exactly...red bean pau also no no for me...waffles w butter seem okie but waffles w ice cream even not sweet not even half of the ice cream ate it aft dinner also gone case...dr said no more ice cream...even the sauce of chicken teriyaki also cannot when I thought chicken teriyaki is safe...

Wah u better cutdown leh 9.2 very high leh...when mine 8. Something I already scare lor...
 
gammahedging said:
6 in 1 is abt 120 iirc. but if u go to the polyclinic , to meet the immunisation schedule requirements they make u take 2 5 in 1 and 1 6 in 1 ...This is whwt I found out. whereas if u go to the pte clinic , it may be possible to do 3 6 in 1 iirc
Click to expand...
What is iirc? I lost touch already . Last time my 2 gals took 6 in 1 in Pte .. But I only remember 6in1 need lesser jab compared to 5in1.

Think my brain not really working . Cannot digest what you write ...

iirc means if I remember correctly.

6 in 1 includes hep b. 5 in 1 doesn't. hep b u need 3 shots , 1 of which is given at birth. hence if u take the 6 in 1from pte clinic ud take 3 jabs more(remember that u need 3 doses for the others in the 6 in 1 jab like dtap). whereas if u take the 5 in 1 + 6 in 1 combi ,ud take 2 5 in 1,1 normal hep b jab and 1 6 in 1. This means 1 jab more than if u take 3x 6 in 1

Dun be .. If you stress will affect your supply for bm and not good for physical mentality ..

It's very common for babies to have jaundice .. My gal also .. Till now 6 weeks still have .. Her liver test passed .

At the moment now , take a good rest and pump / latch to build supply ..

Take care and dun think so much .. Just come in and chat .. There are experienced mummies here ..

Haha .. Okie ... Thanks for the info .. So which one will you take ? 5in1 or 6in1?

If I do the 2x 5 in 1 and 1x 6 in 1 combo at the polyclinic, it is definitely much cheaper than taking 3x 6 in 1 at the private GP clinic..Plus the polyclinic does the developmental assessment together with the vaccination. The amount I pay is nominal.
(Using my OGTT test result as a gauge to show how much cheaper it can be at the polyclinic: I paid $9.50 for it. If I were to do my OGTT at TMC it will cost me more than 4x more. And the reading is obtained by a finger prick test! )

I doubt the GP does developmental assessments..
 
fluffy_fluffy said:
Sure.. I'm still alive ... Apart from mooing , and work like slave ... Hahah ...

Still adapting to my 'new' lifestyle after close to 6 years ...

Yes yes.. We are so close ... Let me know when you wan to meet up with the baby ... :)

No choice but to use fm for the past few days.. :( any mummies experience the same thing? I duno how long I can last latching/pumping and seeing nothing. Worse still poor baby getting frustrated when there's no milk..

actually to me all the injection very confusing...

for my #1 only 3 in 1 is FOC... so we opt for 5 in 1 coz that polyclinic we went do not have 6in 1....

for #2... only have 3 in 1 FOC and 6in 1.... so we choose 6 in 1...

now i think 5 in 1 is FOC... so we will choose 6 in 1 again...

i juz go for appt and nv really go understand what jabs are taken ... too much for me to digest LOL ...


i will go for pneumococcal vaccine also when hit 2 yrs old. so less dose is needed .

My friend had twins and got GD although she didn't take a lot sweet stuffs. Cannot eat white bread, rice... She switched to wholemeal bread and brown rice. The filling that you put in the bread is impt, those commercial (outside sell) kinda baos is a no no....

Oops typo error in my earlier post. I meant multigrain bread. I typically eat the bonjour one but if it is not available I take the gardenia one. Multigrain bread eat until damn full

Think bread talk wholemeal bread still got use wheat flour, whereas gardenia, depending on which type you buy, got 100% wholemeal flour
 
Since we are nearing the finishing line, wanna ask u ladies here.. Have u all thought of your LO's name? Some people may have thought of only the English name because they intend to consult a FSM but that's fine.

1. Do you find that people will ask you "What's baby's name" if you tell them that you have thought of something when they ask if you have thought of what to name your bubba?

2. Any -ve comments regarding baby's name? If yes, what did you do?
