always reach at night feel so uncomfortable... dunno how to sleep... tummy cramps and so tight... I find that when I sit down is not so bad... lying down is only the tightness... but the moment I stand or walk, the strain and ache is super bad till my legs can slowly go numb or jelly...

*nervous* I m first time mummy, feeling jitters now. My EDD is 18 May, hope I can last another 1.5weeks
ya man.. My bb kicks super hard at night.. Just now i so scared bb might just give a super big kick to burst waterbag.. Crazy movements! And always when i am in bed liao, she is super active.. And i am having a the aches and pain.. Just now sat up wanted to stand up walk to toilet.. Left leg gave way, and pelvic muscles were in pain.. I literally had to hold up my bump to relieve the weight and limp to the toilet.. Siao liao so jialat.. I am so scared i cannot take care of my #1 suddenly.. Haizz but i must sti tahan .. Still got to do it.. :/
For breast pump i think don't need to bring.. Most hospitals have pump.. I used their hospital pump when i was there previously (had to pump before i discharge coz bb had to be hospitalised.. Even in the nicu, i pumped with their medela hospital grade pump and funnels.. They gave me glass bottles for storage too.. So save the trouble.. Their pumps alot stronger too..
So, don't need to bring too many things .. Coz u'll have alot of other things like gifts and hampers to bring back.. Marriage cert needed for birth registration if u wanna do it during ur stay.. Gotta think properly of what template for the name.. Christian name first or last, hanyu pinyin /dialect.. Wah i rem i sat there thinking for so long.. End up i just go back after 2 weeks... Hahaha .. Hmm bank book? Just get ur hubby to bring credit card.. Check limit.. Oh ya, bring the gynae receipts for claiming up to $450 ..
Oh. U Have a smooth delivery ya.
Lotsa of pads are necessary if natural delivery.
i brought a pair of front button pjs to wear during my stay in hospital, more comfortable with home clothes rather that hosp gown.
also bring towel and face towel to clean up cos after natural delivery, doing first pee must wash and apply antiseptic lotion and gel to the wound.
your hp charger too and yes a jacket to sleep with it in case it is cold at night.
instsnt red date tea, I'm staying in tmc hence not provided.
that's about all..
im going to get discharged in the morning before 12pm if everything is good!
going back home to no1 since she is running a fever while I'm in labour (I was also running mild fever then)
We only manage to FaceTime each other, so has not been seeing her for days! Missing her loads

Xiaomao, my mucus plug dropped one month before my delivery, so dun worry. Plus it is not like dischage... it's really a puddle of jelly like brown thing.
TMC dun provide towel but a hanky. .. I prefer to bring my own. Remember to bring toothbrush n toothpaste, I think it's not provided.
TMC will ask u to change to your pj... they will only provide those hospital robe that is tie at the back... v troublesome.

Last but not least in case I got busy when I get home..
hope all mommies in waiting have a smooth and swift delivery ya
all the best
I will bring my pyjamas. Need to bring small handkerchief for baby? Is it provided? Think no need right?
I tot they will swaddle the baby and baby still need to wear mittons and booties?Small towel is for myself to wipe face and breast when bfg.. More convenient. All bb stuff will be provided except booties upon discharging so do bring.
Toiletries is provided, but I prefer to use mine..
Some babies are born w sharp and long nails.. Sill unable to cut at newborn stage coz its like flesh.. So babies tend to scratch themselves esp their faces.. Better to put on mittens for them.. Most of the time mittens are too big for their tiny hands..
and when they struggle in the swaddle, they drop them..Anyone knows whats provided in Mt A? Not sure if got longan red date tea.. And if there's any stuff for baby.. Gave birth in Gleneagles previously and got a receiving blanket for baby and free flow longan red date tea ... Heard mtA had bath tub and stuff as a gift.. Not sure what it is now..
This yr also the same, got bb bathtub, dun think got red date tea unless u opt for confinement meal during the stay. They provide maternity discharge bag as well as bb diapers and wipes (1 packet each )meltie:867903 said:Anyone knows whats provided in Mt A? Not sure if got longan red date tea..

Mummies, any of u know how should i boil the longan red dates tea? Is it necessary to add in other herbs?

so it's better to drink red dates tea in the hospital after we delivered? then i better get a packet of the instant ones and pack in my hospital bag..feeling nervous after seeing the other mummies delivered, keep wondering when will be my turn..hehe, EDD is on 13 May so hope baby will last for another 2weeks plus
