http://www.babyinlove.com.sg/home.aspxBy the way, just a heads up. Has any mummies started planning for their baby's Full Month yet? I was recommended these two which I think are quite cute and affordable for the gift packages.
cotton candy bakeshop
I recently tried their sampe products, not bad at all! But then again idk if it's cheaper than others or good value as i havent tried the others. Planning to have full month too but western style as im not chinese..
nlipeng, ya thats what she said.. and I was still asking her, "but i thought contractions are painful... how come i dont feel the pain" then she replied "that means you can handle the contractions well".... hmmm.... i also complain that i have sudden sharp pain at my groin few times in a day.. but the pain only last like 1 sec... so she said thats becos my baby's head has gone further down and is now engaged... If i didnt remember wrongly your EDD is 1st sept right? hahhah... mine is 2nd Sep... so.... lets see who's the next one... haha...
Congrats new mummy felicity!!! so envious of u tat ur wait is finally over and short labour!!
Lingz... dun fret n stress.... as long as baby is healthy its alrite to b small...
Regards to hubbies... they may seem to be bochap but deep down they care, just that they dunno how to express themselves... dun b too sensitive over it as it will affect our emotions.... pregnancy blues will lead to depression... so do take care of our feelings mummies... relax whenever we can... dun think too much or stress urselves... deep breathing n clear mind will help.....

Piglim, those contractions that u don't feel pain should be Braxton hicks right? Weird also leh... Haha... I'm also feeling a sharp pain down there and connecting to my thighs...
Hopefully your doc is right!!! Then both of us should be able to handle the contractions!!! Hahahahahhahaha
Yea, my EDD is on 1st Sept, just one day before yours.... Now let's just wait.... Haha

do you mean the swab and testing for GBS? yes I've done it. did it at 35+ weeks, and got the results yesterday that it was all fine.
I am not sure if it's compulsory, but it's good to get it done. I believe it only costs $20 or less.
Can't wait to see Felicity's baby girl pictures!
I did the swap test on wed at 36+ weeks.. Results will be ready in 1 week according to gynae..
Purpur, I am not sure if it is compulsory.. But I tink if u are looking at normal delivery, it is good to take this test.. wouldn't want ur little one to be infected with bacteria (if any, but CHOY) as they move down the birth canal.. I was told we will be prescribed anti-biotics if test positive for bacteria..

Havent done mine yet, but my gynae said she will do it for me around 36-37 wks.. according to her, the test not actually compulsory but she made it compulsory to take for all her patients.. so other gynae might not ask u to do the test, u have to ask ur gynae to perform it for you..
if you are positive, then u will be given antibiotics and during labour, they will also put u on drip with antibiotics. if your baby got it during birth, then ur baby will have to be on antibiotics as well (around 1 week if i not mistaken). the risk is very high for your baby if infected and not detected early, so better to do the test..

I think maybe i slept through the contractions? *shrugs* when i woke up already contraction was every 10-15 mins..
I had a swap too, doc says recommend to do... everything is fine for me so no need take antibiotics
I post pics later hubby just now using my MacBook to play diablo >< haha now it's flat and charging... Then the TMC computer super laggg... Using iPhone app.
Tried latching, but nipples a bit short n first 2 times bb suckle like 3-4 times will stop... Nurse says she's v smart, realized no milk so stopped to conserve energy.. Haha.. Subsequently she doesn't even want to suckle >< too smart, lactation consultant later will let me use the supplementary system, put tube on the nipples with fm for bb to suckle first b4 my supply kicks in... Sigh, no supply yet.
Everything's fine for me now except down there super duper sore... Thanks everyone for the excitement n well wishes!!

felicity, didnt the nurse give u milo to drink? i was told that they will give u hot milo to drink before u feed the baby, it can help for milk stimulation as well.
btw which ward are you staying? how's the nurses there? all good?

Yup I had hot milo for every meal and tea break
I was told that if single ward is full, they can arrange for the 2 bedder room to be converted into single room. meaning ur hubby can sleep on the other bed.
i wanted to get single room too, but i dun wanna upgrade if dun have.. my budget sort of stuck at single ward only.. huhuhuh..
perharps mrs wong will come and visit you, i was told that mrs wong might come and visit if she have time. did u attend her class? if u did, maybe can highlight to the nurse, they perhaps can pass the info to mrs wong. she can help you on bf issues..
all the best felicity!!
