Woohoo! 4/5 is quite a lot. My gynae is on leave so I only get to c him this fri. Wonder wat he will say,excited. Previously He did say my placenta is aging (calcifying) so I can't go past my due date. Hope no need to induce as labor cud b longerDear mtbs,
Just went for my 35 th week check-up today... Baby is doing fine and weighs 2.8kgs now, according to Gynae is of a good size
Baby is 4/5 engaged...
Apparently the sharp pains that I experienced at my vaginal area indicated that Baby's head was getting engaged...
Gynae says baby may be ready to be out in end Feb...
When will the rest of you be starting your maternity leave?
For myself, this is my last week at work
EDD March 2011

How will the gynae know that the placenta is aging ? did he run any tests ?
Looking on the bright side, it means you will get to see ur little bundle of joy soon!
Can see from the scan. white spots on the placenta. means baby will not get all the nutrients it needs from the placenta so thats why will have to come out early.How will the gynae know that the placenta is aging ? did he run any tests ?

My feet have swollen quite a bit argh! even my slippers are tight! thankfully its my last wk of work. i have 3 weeks of leave to clear anyway, before my maternity leave.
hi mummy to be..
i went to my gynae on 12th feb and she told me baby head is already engaged. my initial due date is 6th march.
any idea how long will it take for baby to come out since head is engaged??
gynae is like if by next visit (19th feb) bb still not out, we got to discuss on induce cuz bb weight abt 3.1kg already..

my EDD is end march but im having discomforts like backaches on off, breathless, fainting spells, mild contractions & going to toilet very often like every 10-15mins, wondering is my gal sitting on my back or bladder area, at night cant sleep well cos baby kicks are strong den morning wake up feeling like a zombie & very very tired...+ my no.1(20mths) is always fussing & crying on off, difficult to take care...sometimes so worried waterbag burst @ work(touchwood!)...
...im wondering should i take maternity leave earlier...

hi evie, good to know u can finally rest. at first i thought i didnt need the rest and could work till 39wks but at a time when work is getting more stressful i think its better to just chill. afterall, i read somewhere that a stressed out MTB can have a baby who is difficult to settle!hi mummyhu,

wow that sounds quite bad. with your first child it was better? i have felt all of those symptoms but not all the time and not all together, everyday is something different. max out your allowable mc days first b4 taking ur ML lah! prolonged stress isnt good so take a little breather if you can. so easy to get mc as a preggo.

I go for pro natural and if you want baby to come out soon, walking helps a lot. I know it's hard to move nowadays but even I try to walk as much as I can despite the backache & leg cramps. Just think of it as an exercise. But if your gynae says you have to be induced soon due to your baby's weight, try to discuss with him the pros and cons of inducing, and do take note that having an induced birth is much more painful. Talking to the baby helps also. For me my belief is, if it's time for baby to come out already, it will happen even without those medications and so.

yes, pregnant with my 1st child was better, i didnt ve MS then. no wonder people always tell me every pregnancy is different.
ya, prolong stress is no good. maybe i should take ML earlier. i juz came back from leave yesterday & my work already piling up!

^definitely way better to buy at market than at NTUC. hubby normally buys for me at tampines round market, their fresh pineapples are also good!
Hi gals, today is my last day at work. Getting more n more anxious, keep asking my girl when she is arriving to this world..hehe.. anyway, I m almost done with all my baby's stuffs including chest drawer and bath tub. Now left some more stuffs to buy for myself. My mum told me must wear long pant and top and slippery at home. Hv to buy big pails to store boiled water. She said after delivery all cleaning including washing legs and hands must use boiled water (after cooling off). Cannot use tap water... :err:.. Anyway, there alot of things to do and follow during the confinement.... cant do this n cant do that...wonder if I can tahan or not??
Gals, just ask if any suggestions for babay's full month celebration.. I dont intend to order buffet at home cos still need to clean up the whole hse thereafter. Any good venue(s) or restuarants to recommend?
