my previous 2 deliveries were induced at 38 weeks+, therefore i did not use my casual leave, only start maternity leave on delivery day itself, and MC during visit to gynae. Must have to plan if u have too much leave too clear after back from ML anot..
IMH, Best to take 3-5 days to truely rest well n eat well before the edd/advice frm gynae if possible

Thinking of taking leave about 3/4wks before EDD. Lots of events happening in end April, so got to handle as well. What's the "usual"??

Sure, thanks for the tip!

Only 3-5days??? Whoa. Didn't know that's sufficient.... My female boss was put on bed rest so she was away for abt a mth, so I thought that was the norm..... Of course if I can work, I'll continue to do so...
Are you mummies going to take the full 4mths maternity leave straight, or will you split it up?
furbee
Well-Known Member
Really depends on ur workload ... For me is managable even if i not at work, so i can take 4 days in adv or even on exact edd. But i will take full 16 weeks ML, den use my leave drag abit so will return work later...
Baby got injections n stuff so first 6 mths sure use up alot leave to bring for jab or checkups.. And also leave to go for short trips!!!!!
If bed rest, doc will give hospitalisation leave instead of using personal leave right? Unless not entitled... If need bed rest of cos rest as much n as long as possible to ensure smooth delivery.
@ellieteow , den what ur plans on ur leave?

Any mummies can recommend if girdles or binding is better post delivery? Some brands are pretty expensive. Yet binding have to bind tight enough. Don't know which is better.

I suppose you can discuss w your gynae abt ur birth plan? Like my gynae can do water birth, but only certain hospitals e.g Mt A have the facilities for dat.
Mine is straight forward - contractions start and in delivery ward, hit the epidural! Wahahaha…
Haha, same! With #1, I hit the epi once in in delivery ward... lol!

My #2 contractions came too fast, den i waited till i tink i blacked out from the pain frm contractions that 1 hr later manage to get epi relieve.
Actually after talking to mums who did not use any pain relieve to deliver, they mentioned that the pain contractions can only hit a limit, once u can tahan that limit can go all the way till oushing n delivering. Yet to try, still contemplating if able to 'believe' in myself to endure so long anot. Haha

Sounds great. But need more mummies, and hard to plan a date tat all is free.

Yupp, if it's bed rest, I understand it will be Hosp Leave... Most likely, I'll work for as long as I can, before EDD;
I'll probably use all 4mths, (the part abt the short trip makes sense as well... As I can't travel for a babymoon before baby's arrival).
However, I work for a small agency (about 10 of us?), so the pressure is on to be productive... As my Director came back to work after about 2mths' break. Granted, she's the boss... But still~ Will feel the pressure.

@cynn04 @furbee That's the thing about epidural - I hear about it all the time in the office, about how NOT to use epidural... My boss actually went with the hypnobirthing technique and it worked out wonderfully for both pregnancies.... But I just have no idea what's my threshold level for pain. I THOUGHT I was pretty good with pain... But pre-pregnancy, some of my period cramps got me lying flat on my bed, and sometimes, I have to go get injections to ease the cramps...... So I'm pretty worried if I can handle it or not... Trying not to go the c-sect way, as youtube videos have me pretty freaked out about how they cut through your stomach and your muscles, pulling them to get the baby out

Mummies, JTS: I have been feeling really uncomfortable wearing a bra for extended periods of time these days... Got fed up and went into Uniqlo to try their AIRism Bra Tops. At $29.90 per pc; they're the best investments you can get for your sore bodies. Seriously comfortable, good support, no feeling of rubber/bands, digging into your ribs and back. Good enough to wear by itself in the day when you're out and about!

@ellieteow, good to read up n understand the birth process, but dun over stress or think too much. Cos when the time comes, every mother reaction n body is accustom to diff situation. For the pain wise, jus think of ur bb and safely bring bb out. Whether to use epi or other pain relieve really depends on ur situation also, i got friends last min c-sec cos bb head stuck,low heart beat, tangled umbilical cord, etc. the more u know the more u think start to worry and let ur tots run wild. Just relax and wait for the DAY!!!

Its actually quite… "fashionable" nowadays to be pro-natural, do hypnobirthing, water birth etc. One of my close frens is a doula. But I'm not subscribing to this idea cos I've experienced contractions before and aiyooo just give me the epidural!! Lol.
My personal opinion, dun lynch me

Aiyo i feel a bit worried about my test next week. Been eating soya bean these few days, dunno if it will affect.
Btw, i think I've only put on 0.5kg since 3 weeks ago, though I've been eating more than usual. Strange! will it affect baby?
It won't affect baby... I put on only 700g since my last visit 4 weeks ago and baby gained 600g... So most of it went to him... Lol

Woo really? I hope my bb putting on his weight well! His kicks are getting stronger nowadays. I've been eating birds nest for these 3 weeks, my mum says actually should eat since 2 mths ago oops. Hope bb is absorbing all the goodies!
I went for glucose test ytd and then the nurse was like "you here for post natal ?"
I gave the blur look. She said "u give birth already?"
I said " no.. I'm only 7 months"
Then she looked so shock and look at my tummy and said "where's the baby"
We both laughed hahah
I only gained 6.5kg throughout
Baby is now 1.09kg hehe

Went for appt today and baby really put on weight super fast during last trimester. In 3 weeks increased abt 600g. Baby is now 2.1kg. Head is in position. My iron count is still on the low side, 9.6, hence was given another dose of iron injection.
On the other note, it is just a tiring day today. And I actually just cry my heart's out coz I am feeling sooooooooooo tired. Short breath, legs tired, butts cramp, tummy heavy and the list goes on....
Suddenly emo wreck at the moment...

YES. That's the thing. It doesn't matter how you get the baby out, so long as both mummy and baby are safe.... But you can still feel the judgey stares/looks when you share your birth planIts actually quite… "fashionable" nowadays to be pro-natural, do hypnobirthing, water birth etc. One of my close frens is a doula. But I'm not subscribing to this idea cos I've experienced contractions before and aiyooo just give me the epidural!! Lol.

BTW, what exactly is a doula/or the role of a doula?!
@furbee I think it's good to be informed... But I do agree that the more you read/the more you know... The more worried you'd be.
My birth plan is just to get baby out safe and sound, in the best possible way for both of us.... - though for epidural, I'm still really freaked out by how huge the needle is; and the back aches you'd feel the day after or so....

That is awesome! At 27weeks now and I think I've gained about... 8/9 kilo... Do you know what's the "ideal" weight that you should gain? Or the max that you should hit? For e.g. I've heard that the best would be not more than 15kg?
ellieteow

YES. Just trying it on in the changing room will help you make up your mind! Tank top was of super light weight material and the bra pad area is just too comfy! Can be an alternative to buying or wearing maternity bras at times...

Hope you'd feel better! - My iron count isn't exactly ideal and my doc has been asking me to take additional iron tablets on top of the pink multi-vit...

Hope you'd feel better after a good cry.... Sometimes my husband will look at me helplessly when I'm in my emo zone.... I think the men just don't get how our mood yoyo from good to bad, and bad to good.

A few of us May Mummies are thinking (most likely cfm) that we're doing a group maternity shoot sometime in late April; you might want to hop over to our May 2015 Mummies group on FB to find out more! Look for Hunni Ang!
- I'm thinking of doing a separate one with my husband... And one for baby after he's born; so I'm still scouting and looking around...

I'm in my 34th weeks now.
Thanks all for the kind words! I felt better after the cry. And then joined the husband laughing together abt me crying! He has been supportive all these while. Thank god for that.
I just cant wait to hold the baby in my arms. Even tho it will be more tiring at least I know looking at the baby will just erase all the tiredness!
Let's jiayou together! We made it this far, we'll make it to the end!

I had that almost throughout 2nd trimester. Under left breast to be exact. The pain can be super painful like someone just punch and rupture your ribs.
Its due to expansion and also cld be due to the baby's vigorous movement, I suppose. It will go away after sometime. Just something that we gotta endure.
