@furbee hope u have a smooth delivery n looking forward to ur updates!Huh... can checking dilation cause real labour? So far ok for me.. I dilated 3cm 2 wks ago, so will be opting for induce this wed (38+5).
Why dont you just check for dialtion at next appt? At least u will know if really dilate causing the 'contractions'.. For me i think i might be dilating slowly and cervix thinning therefore the tightening comes and go esp when im very relax. But are u prepared to go into real labour anytime soon?
Mummies, my bb is breech so we have scheduled for csect this coming Thursday. Instead of May baby, he is now April baby cos we went to choose a good date based on lunar calendar. Weekend was busy preparing for the final details, work hand-over etc hopefully these 2 days can relax and enjoy time with hubby alone before he arrives.
Hi.. I just gave birth to my little boy last Friday by c section too. Now we are back home. I still can't believe it when I look at the little fellow lying by my side. Such a miracle. Hope all goes well for you too. Jia you!

Hi,
At which stage will gynae see us more often instead of monthly visits?
Mine was after 32 weeks, reduced to 3 weeks. Then now 35/36 reduced to 2 weeks. Think after next appt at 37/38 weeks will be once more at 39/40 before I see him in hospital.
I'm seeing dr Adrian Woodworth.
My last appt was last week at 34 weeks and next appt is only on 20th May at 38 weeks.Mine was after 32 weeks, reduced to 3 weeks. Then now 35/36 reduced to 2 weeks. Think after next appt at 37/38 weeks will be once more at 39/40 before I see him in hospital.

Im a first time mum. So im abit clueless. My gynae went for maternity leave and during the last time i met her she said the next gynae will see me every 2 weeks. But this new gynae is only arranging my next appt after 4 weeks... Which by then i'll be 38 weeks. Is that alright? Should i be closely monitored in between 34-38 weeks?For me actually after my visit on 36 wks is my last visit and my gynae just say wait for delivery. But since my blood sugar suddenly so high asked me to go back 2 wks later which's 38 wks.

Have they done the swab test and book hospital/pass u the admission paper? Usually quite uncommon for so late in pregnancy to go once in 4 weeks. Maybe u can bring forward the appt one week earlier, shorten it to 3 weeks if you are concerned the gap is too long.
I would think admission letter is compulsory. My Gynae gave me at 35 wk. this letter has all our particulars and medical details so if we need to be admitted during emergency or anything, the medical staffs regardless of which hospital we were being sent to will have our information.Hi happycsk, just to check with you the admission letter is compulsory? I have done my swab test last week but my gynae didn't provide me any admission letter, maybe we need to request?
No swab test done... Only did the pre-admission thingy...Have they done the swab test and book hospital/pass u the admission paper?

Thanks gleaflim!! Hope you are recovering well!Hi.. I just gave birth to my little boy last Friday by c section too. Now we are back home. I still can't believe it when I look at the little fellow lying by my side. Such a miracle. Hope all goes well for you too. Jia you!

Hi @gleaflim, how is your recovery for c sect? I'm kinda nervous and reluctant because my gynae said chances are slim for my placenta to shift up in another month time. He wants me to prepare for c sect. My first experience with natural delivery was good but seems like I have no choice but to opt for caeseaern this time.
Are you able to walk freely and carry your baby after c sect without much pain ?
What else do we need to take note aft surgery ?
Yeah mummies, ive had a fast n smooth delivery... 1hr in labour ward... Went in already 9cm. Phew~
@gleaflim congratz to u!! U stayed in hosp for 4 days?? Speedy recovery to ur c-sec!
More babies r popping! Yeah...
Congrats furbee!!!@yew_yew , its bo bian for me.. Nv tot i have to go thru without epidural. But recover seems great, duno if its cos the muscles already used to the stretch, but the stitches totally doesnt hurt..
Hope everyone also have a fast and smooth delivery so can concentrate on baby!
My plan was tdy 29th to induce, but bb cant wait within 2 hrs of contractions, i can still walk n went to hosp..hoping to get my planned dose of epidural still in my home clothes during observation (less den 5mins) checked i was 9cm Str8 went into labour ward i was like 10cm kept asking me push.... Cannot use any form of painkiller...so unexpectedly everything out of plan, wasnt hooked to iv drip, therefore save some $.
best of all i tot gdm mother = bb will b high sugar, end up my bb low sugar need supplement fm after latch (cos no milk yet)..
baby chubby a bit very cute!! just control your sweets in the diet...i think 3.1kg is just estimation, actual weight still 2.8kg like that. jiayou!!

Can we still shower as usual after c sect ? How to take care of the wound?
Is it true we are forbidden to carry heavy stuffs for the first 6 mth?
I kept telling my elder son that mommy cannot carry him because mommy have didi inside tummy, aft didi come out, mommy will carry you.
I feel so sorry towards my elder son.
Hi gleaflim, how about diet? Some people told me avoid eating chicken and eggs for 10 days. Are you following that too? Take care!!I didn't shower as follow the confinement rules. I just wipe with damp towel. Yes. You can still wash your private part as there will be a plaster attached to it n is water proof. I need to go back 1 week later to remove the plaster. Now is my 5th day after surgery n I have stopped taking my pain killer and the pain is minimal and still tolerable. Hope you can recover well too.
I remember for my #1, my CL only cook chicken for me after 1 week plus... can't remember about eggs though...Hi gleaflim, how about diet? Some people told me avoid eating chicken and eggs for 10 days. Are you following that too? Take care!!

I hope mine will too but dunno why it seems like i am going to be pregnant forever, baby still dun want to come out.
I already try every tips to induce naturally, having sex, eat pineapple, walk a lot, climbing stairs, squatting, etc. but still did not see any sign of labor. Last resort just ask my gynae to induce bah. Hopefully would not be so bad. Finger crossed.
Ahh I see ok will avoid chicken for 1st week to be safeI remember for my #1, my CL only cook chicken for me after 1 week plus... can't remember about eggs though...
