hi emma,
i don't know if anywhere outside selling it. but usually, we get it from the post natal massage ladies coz they use the traditional cloth type. so, yeah, i'll get mine from my masseuse lady. i've seen a spree done here before.. but only once! hehe.. was too early in pregnancy that time to get it.. woah 28 weeks pack already?? you make me feel very the slow lah!! i've thought about packing for ages, but haha, never got down to actually doing it. even now, i've done most of the washing for baby's clothes, they are packed nicely in her drawers but still gotta do her towels and blankets.. haha.. dunno when to start..

jo,
papaya soup for after-birth. suppose to increase milk supply. papaya not cooling also not heaty, is jus to move bowels easier.
zoe tay also say another reason for lots of milk is bcos she drink a lot of similac mum!

hi juju,
they do it for c-sect too.. usually they will not do it straightaway since you have a fresh wound and its advisable not to disturb it at such an early stage. but they can massage other parts of your body to get rid of the wind..and to ease your muscles and blood flow after delivery.. also, they won't put on the cloth binder until they see that you can.. if not its just massage without touching your wound area..
hmm.. usually they just need to be informed about your delivery date. no special booking is needed as they can attend up to 4 or 5 ladies in a day (different timings lah) but it will help if they know who you are first so they can easily recognize you. usually they prioritise new moms first in the day.. and push other pre-natal or non-pregnancy massages to the end of the day.. that is what i know of their practices..

Hi Ladies,
As you might have known from Bliss posting, I have gave birth to a baby boy on last tue. It was totally unexpected. Started with backache in the late night, and i didn't suspected it was contraction as i don't feel painful tummy. By the time the backache got more intense and frequency increase in the morning, I went KK and told I was already fully dilated. Another 15 mins later, water bag burst and gave birth in the next 15 mins. All happens so fast, by the time my hubby reach the delivery suite, he was so shocked to see that i have delivered.
My baby now in NICU and he is doing well. Thanks all for showing the care and prayer.
I am doing my confinement now and will not post regularly here. All the best to all of you!

Hi Cale,
Congratulation on your bb boy.
Glad to hear that you and your bb were ok.
Wish u all the best.
Hi Maykel,
How are you? How is your twins? Hope you are ok.
Hi yanqiu,
4D scan, it is quite exciting and interesting. After 24-32wks, you can do 4D scan because bb development almost complete.
But like juju said if you scan earlier, your 4D result might not good since bb is too young and skinny.
I heard from juju at NUH it is about $120.
How many weeks are you now?

So shocked to hear about your early delivery from juju at first. Really happy for you that your delivery was real fast and smooth. Why was it that you have contractions and dilation so early at only 30 weeks? what did doc say? So you did not even have epidural or painkiller? You are so brave!
I am sure your baby will be back home soon and you take good care of yourself during confinement.
Babymaking,
thanks for concern. Heehee, my hubby brought the laptop back to office for servicing, so I had no laptop to use the whole day. Tomorrow he will bring to office again for some installation of software, I will be very bored in the day again.
How are you too? My hainanese chicken rice was tasty and good(commented by my hubby). I personally feel that can be improved next time. But I consider that not bad for first try.

Hi ladies,
i just went for my week 27 appt this afternoon. Baby is doing fine and growing well, but he really likes the facing down position, could not see his face again.
He is 1.4kg now, I am quite surprised but doc said the weight is normal. But when I checked online and pregnancy books, the weight of baby by end of 6th month is around 875g, and only end of 7th month will be 1.4kg. I wonder how come my baby weighs 1 month in advance. Anyway, I am so happy today to see my baby boy!
Good news is that my urine showed no trace of protein anymore and my placenta has moved slightly up. Doc said that she felt that my placenta will move up soon from the position of my placenta.

76,
thanks!
I understand the MS, very miserable during the period. I could not eat anything except plain porridge for 1st trimester, nauseaous every day and night. Good that at least sour stuff does help curb your ms in a way. I bought many sour plums and sour titbits and ginger biscuits that time, nothing worked. And then I had to sit on my bed at night to sleep, or the nausea was so bad that I felt like vomitting anytime. I also put a plastic bag in my bag whenever I was outside, just in case.
You must hang in there, your baby must be growing well, your hormones changes and increase in hcg is 'taking effect'. All these will subside in some time. Jia you!

oh dear, your haemmarroids sounded really bad. Think you better see your doc. Why are you scared of getting scolding from hubby? Why would he scold you?
Oh, the baby fair really has nothing much ah? I plan to go tomorrow leh... so disappointing to hear that. Think I will just go for very short while, and prepare to buy nothing. Heehee.

can i check with you issit the gynae tell you the positioning of the placenta first or we need to ask the gynae the position of the placenta?

Sam,
I was told that my placenta was low lying after my 2nd trimester detailed scan. So I have been asking about the position of my placenta during every scan since then. Anyway, doc will check for me every scan too.
I think the detailed scan is clearer to detect the exact position of the placenta and it is necessary to inform us, the MTB about it as that will affect what kind of delivery(natural vaginal delivery or c section) we will have if the placenta does not move up before labour.

update: went for fetal heart scan yesterday and DS syndrome risk revised to 1:5000 plus....from high risk to low risk. thk goodness for this scan, we were so happy that i literally jump for joy and cried with relief.
baby fair
we went to the bb fair in the late afternoon and had problems looking for parking space cos of the NATAS travel fair crowd, those driving tomorrow may want to note that.
when we left ard 6plus, there was a long q of cars trying to get in.
the fair itself was not very impressive, too many booths selling financial prdts and spa, massage services, and little baby prdts.
the freebies for the mag sub was sold out, only left the spa, lego and mothercare set... we wanted the huggies hamper of 3 pkts of diapers but was told it won't be replenish.
drypers was having some sort of promotion and it seems cheap as almost everyone else was grabbing some bags of drypers.
there's a booth selling very cute booties and baby shoes. and another selling babysafe bedding such as mattresses and pillows.
oh yeah, the crowd is full of mummies pushing strollers, so pls be careful yeah..my tummy not showing at all...so had to ward off pple who crowd into my space..almost had an accident with a mummy who pushed her stroller into me, thkfully hubby was fast enuff to stop it.
oh by the way, since there was a huge number of pple with strollers there, we did a mini survey, and it seems the quinny zapp together with the maxi cosi carseat, is one of the most popular strollers for newborn to 6mths old. we counted like more than 10 pple using this stroller, another popular brand is maclaren, but more for older kids.
anyone here using/bought the quinny + maxi cosi combo system - can offer any feedback?
ju: baby looks very cute, and contented.
bliss: glad yr placenta is moving upwards, catch you on msn on monday.
ponytail: u may want to get some stool softener from the gynae, or take fibrogel and drink more fluids.

hi ladies,
yup, i went to the babyfair yesterday too.. and i must admit it was rather disappointing. i expected to see more baby items sold instead of booths and booths of baby services and products. honestly, i find it quite unhelpful. the only thing i got out of the trip are 2 packs of huggies newborn which came with a romper from mothercare as a gift. that's all. other than that, if you want to buy avent breast pumps, or baby bottles, sterilizers.. there is a huge counter there of their products. (i've got mine much earlier than this)
i saw a booth selling booties and socks.. sigh, my baby has too many already.. saw another selling baby pillows, mattress and bolster cases.. i also got mine much earlier.. then was looking for nursing wraps, they don't have nice ones which don't look like an apron.. and baby slings mostly come with rings.. which i don't fancy since i've also got mine without the rings..
haha, so you see.. on my part, the fair was rather disappointing.

hi gals
went for my 8th week scan today. Heartbeat improved from 124 last week to 172beats/min. so doc say will see at my 10th week...so happy everything is going on smoothly so far.
bliss
you took sour stuff during nauseaus, is it the preservatives stuff. what type? I took wu hua guo. I just found out wu hua guo consists of papaya...my doc said cant take unripe papapya, so now i am worried.

Hi ladies,
Sorry i MIA so long, cos i was admitted to KKH since 18th Feb. I did a fetal scan and saw dr on that same day. Turn out that 1 of the twins is not growing well, they are 1.3kg and 1kg oni (by right shld be around 1.2kg). Furthermore, my BP was very high that day and urine protein +++. Was advised to admit immediately and had to stay til delivery, which is an indefinite period. Now doc say they do not want to look too far ahead, so we are looking at at 2wks each time.
Currently the main problems are that my liver enzymes and urine protein are a bit high. Need to monitor closely as dr say i have a high risk for renal problem too, due to the urine protein. So now the aim is to drag the pregnancy as long as possible cos now i'm oni 30wks 5days. There are few reasons that may render immediate c-sect; 1 is when my PE (high BP)go beyond control; Or there is a potential for hitting renal problem; Finally, if the blood flow between smaller twin and placenta is no good and baby still not growing. As of thur, the smaller twin had grown oni abt 30grams, i really hope she will grow more. Currently, they are doing doppler scan for babies to monitor blood flow twice a wk, urine test daily, CTG twice daily and blood test EOD.
I had a hard time persuading my hubby to bring my laptop today, cos he knew i'll be at it non-stop. But i'm really bored here, everyday go thru same routine, then read mag and play PSP. I may not be able to post regularly already, but will try to update whenever i can. I oso learned abt Cale last week. So coincidence, she delivered on Tues and i was admitted on wed, the day she was discharged.
Please take good care for now ladies, i'll be back again. Hope all would have smooth pregnancy and delivery.
Emma, you due to deliver soon, all the best to you!

Was advised to admit immediately and had to stay til delivery, which is an indefinite period. Now doc say they do not want to look too far ahead, so we are looking at at 2wks each time.
Currently the main problems are that my liver enzymes and urine protein are a bit high. Need to monitor closely as dr say i have a high risk for renal problem too, due to the urine protein. So now the aim is to drag the pregnancy as long as possible cos now i'm oni 30wks 5days. There are few reasons that may render immediate c-sect; 1 is when my PE (high BP)go beyond control; Or there is a potential for hitting renal problem; Finally, if the blood flow between smaller twin and placenta is no good and baby still not growing. As of thur, the smaller twin had grown oni abt 30grams, i really hope she will grow more. Currently, they are doing doppler scan for babies to monitor blood flow twice a wk, urine test daily, CTG twice daily and blood test EOD.
I had a hard time persuading my hubby to bring my laptop today, cos he knew i'll be at it non-stop. But i'm really bored here, everyday go thru same routine, then read mag and play PSP. I may not be able to post regularly already, but will try to update whenever i can. I oso learned abt Cale last week. So coincidence, she delivered on Tues and i was admitted on wed, the day she was discharged.
Please take good care for now ladies, i'll be back again. Hope all would have smooth pregnancy and delivery.
Emma, you due to deliver soon, all the best to you!

Hi babymaking, Merlenna and juju
Thanks for the informations on the baby fair... tempted to go at 1st but worried of people pushing one another (like what babymaking experienced). Seems like a disappointing fair.
Hi merlenna
Did your massage lady mention how many time will she need to come over to your place after you gave birth (in order to tone up your tummy)?
Hi Maykel
Hang in there! Eat more.... 2 more days to go for me....Take care, Maykel!
Hi Cale
Congratulations! Very surprised to hear that you had given birth.
Hi 76
Good to hear that your bb's heartbeat improved. So are you seeing prof every 2 wks now? I remember I only see him once every 3 wks (his fee is pretty steep wo).
For your m/s,maybe you might want to try to eat some biscuits when you feel nauseous. Not too sure if preserved fruits are good or not? I didn't really eat them tho.

Juju,
Usually wats the difference in weight for babies? Cause i ever come across mummies when they go for last scan, they were told of this weight and in the end the weight difference can be ard 200 - 400 g and its consider a lot for preemies of multiples. It would be great to know an average weight, like example bb weighing 3kg at last scan and birth is 2.9kg. i think this is still acceptable.
