Vi, I always felt Dr Loh rushing thru my consultations. That time when I was so depressed over work that I saw a GP, GP consoled me and advised that i tell dr loh abt my situation. However, till date, I'd never had that chance to tell dr loh. As usual, he quickly scan my bb, ask how much supplements left, and then say "see u in 4 wks time!".
Bbhp/Bing, he gave impression that he'll be more lenient w HL for those carrying multiples. Anyway, when I had spotting, I only had 1 wk HL. wonder why....
Vi, I was just commenting to dh today that ever since preggie, I think I dun need waxing leh. If anywhere that need hor, I think it's my tummy! Just realized today there were some hair on it!!! <sweat>

Linda, congrats on Ethan's discharge. Really encouraging to see e bm as increasing for all of u. Did I tell u gals that I met a lady at expo last sun, & she said she pumped 1.5l initially?? only after she went back to work, then 1 l each time & she only needed to pump once before work, & once after. Envious hor? & she's pretty slim! But she said she bf bb immd after delivery ie. While she still in delivery ward! Unimaginable!

if everything is ok wif mummy & bb, mummy will be encouraged to latch bb asap, i.e. in the delivery ward. umm... for natural birth only.

abt the bm, the nurse in labour ward also tried to let my boy latch on me, but he refused also that time my milk doesnt flow yet...

Des, actually my gynae also checked me very fast. Like what you experienced. So when she asked me how I feel at the beginning of the consultation I quickly told her that I have difficulty with my boss. But she brushed me off too. Until I broke down in office n asked nurse what should I do for depression then that's the consultation where I broke down in her office n she took me seriously.
I think they jus think we are ok baby growing well n etc.
Now every week my app also back to very quick type. Like u waited for 2.30 hrs but only inside for 5mins.
Today my friend came with swollen ankle n it is red. Showed to her, n gynae also jus said eat less salt. That's all.
I think if u want HL u should straight away tell him that u need one because u are dizzy n unwell.
Des, ya my baby is 3kgs today. Why le? I'm 37 weeks 5 days today.
I was offered whether I wanna do tummy waxing in case I'd c section. I told her no need la. I still hope for only natural birth.
I'm doing brazillian wax le.
Linda, ya lo she is too comfy inside. So just let her decide when she wanna come out la.

Hi ladies,
Have not logged in for a long time after returning to work. Congrats stb & linda for the safe delivery of your babies. Vi4n, you're next, excited?
Hi Spiffy,
I can understand how you feel. I went through that too even though it was my 2nd pregnancy. It is really not easy taking care of 2 at one go. Learn to relax & catch up with some sleep as much as you can. Must stay strong & positive for your babies' sake. It will be over very soon as they develop more fixed feeding & sleeping pattern.
Hi Bakaholic,
Robinsons sells cot mattress too. If you're keen, I've a BN one for sale. Brand is Safety First.

Vi, I'm just finding e whole bb growth thingy amazing & wonderful. Just 4 wks ago, only 700+g, now 1.3kg. So abt 7 wks later may grow to 3 kg!! Btw, I'm 30 wks tmr. Then when born, cry cry, refuse milk etc causing mummy worry but then grows so quickly andvlearns to turn, crawl etc. It's just an amazing thing that God created. Just that too busy at work to really pay attn to all these. Haha.
Btw, I told doc I was dizzy though I kind of self diagnose by saying it cld be due to e fast/ glucose drink. He didn't even offer to assure me. Anyway, he asked me if bb kicking me more & I just told him frankly that this past week lesser. Anyway, thot it may be normal since website has warned abt this. But for this one, he said shd not be so leh and asked that I rest these 2 days to monitor. Sigh, he's really weird.
singapoh, nursing in delivery ward paiseh not? So many ppl there... Incl male staff?

Singapoh, hopefully this new CL work for you
cactus, so fast u back to work already... Ya me next in line. Waiting waiting..
Des, ha ha u think too advance Liao. I jus want baby to be out. Really getting impatient to see her
I think if u need ML or HL to rest u have to ask straight from him lo. Jus tell him straight that u too stress with work that u can't rest well even at home. Though this doesn't work with my gynae i think with dr loh should be able to.

Ladies,
Went for my detailed scan yesterday. Having 2 tigress..
Anyway just let me vent out for abit. Frankly I was abit disappointed when I know d genders coz I was hoping for a boy- ger combination. But then I know I couldnt ask for more as long as they are healthy coz all of us went through alot juz to have bbs. So now I'm telling myself they are given to us after so long n muz be happy for them..

Singapoh, me newbie in this mah, wont know how to bf wo exposing b yet leh.
hah? How cld mummy not see bb immed after giving birth? A bit cruel of them leh. Singapoh, so sweet of u to sneak in to see Kaili. Juju, poor thing leh, mummy treated like any other visitor! Aiyoh.....
Skies, dun worry, know how U felt. Doc Loh will constantly examine e gender again, maybe one of them hide it. After a while, u will learn to accept it, & u may think it's so wonderful to have 2 gals to play girly toys w each other & gossip abt boys tgr! ;-)

Think is more or less cfm le. Coz can c 3 lines. Learning to accept lo afterall gender is not wat we can choose.
My gynea also say d same thing to my hb. He said gers are closer to daddy n will take care when he is old.. But I feel can play rough w boys, don nd to b too careful.. wahahaha

Your healing looks good and on track, timing is perfect already.
Despondent,
Maybe u need to change your tactic when asking for MC or HL. Just be direct and see if he will give you. Otherwise, go see a GP and get some MC. Gynaes see so many pregnant woman and they view all symptoms as common. As long as they scan baby and your tummy, they do not see any abnormalities, they take it as all good.
U all are so much better in S'pore with MC and HL to cover. In my case, I only have 10 days MC a year, so dare not simply ask for MC. If more is required, it is given on discretionary basis, if not I have to use my own AL. One of my colleague, had some complications at around 30 wks due to twin pregnancy and required bedrest, she was told to take her ML early, no HL or whatever.
skies,
Don't be disappointed, can always try for #3 !

Bubbybear, where u if not Singapore? So how much ML? hmm.. Thanks for reminding us how blessed we are. I'll try not to ask for HL if possible, & I asked so that in case he gives me, I wld have done handover to colls and not that it comes as a surprise. Fyi, my coll told me KK will give 2 mths HL before delivery mah so really sorting all these out. Also, I want to know if things turn out bad for me w my boss, at least I know if I can turn to him, coz AL will require my boss' approval... Anyway, I will cross e bridge when it comes.

Girls are great! At least they have each other to play with and go out together. i always wished i had a sister to hang out with, share clothes etc.
I guess at the end of the day, it's a big blessing to have a chance to be parents and as long the kids are healthy, nothing matters most.

true, not easy to raise kids, other than the financials, but I think its more our expectation is different from older generations.
Despondent,
I live in Australia now. Each co have different policy. But I get 3 mths ML here, similar to S'pore. Don't worry about handover, just take care of your health first. Co. will still be functioning even if u are not around. Sometimes, Drs have preference too, maybe he chose to pick on you and not in good mood.

I really don't know leh. Like my MIL told me before, dont need to get sterilizer. Use hot water to rinse d bottles will do. After that, my hb told me d same thing coz we also grow up using hot water to rinse d bottles. But I juz dont feel safe lor. So I don't know isit me who is fussy or he feels that sterlizer is not a muz.

skies... my mum told me yesterday tt she just washed the btl and rinse with boiled water (forgot to ask her if it was hot). she said where got time to sterilise/soak in hot water esp when she has 5 to look after. i think at least use hot water to soak for a while will be safer for today's nb... steriliser is a more convenient as compared to using hot water to soak which waste water
somehow i find tt man agrees to whatever their mum said and wont rebuk...

Thanks thanks.
Last time people also do like that lor. Somemore we also grow up like that. I juz wan to do things easier so i wanted to hav a sterilizer.
I feel so much easy after talking here. I dont want to discuss bout d gender w my hb coz I really dont know if he is ok w gers or he wans a boy. Plus I felt sad ydae n might cry anytime if I talk w him.
