is it need to take blood test for the glucose test?
the nurse took 3 bottles of my blood for the blood test during my OSCAR test in my first trimester. wondering if it is the same? cos my doc didnt ask me to take any glucose test till now... hmm...
Yea..i was wondering too. Is it necessary to take the gucose test? Never say muz take this test at which trimseter also.

You can start taking ML four weeks before due date. Else it's when you deliver but since that day is usually uncertain, employers like to know when, so maybe due date is good if you want to spend max time with baby.. So far, my friends who had natural delivery for first baby were all later than due date - some had to be induced some more cos cannot be too late...

You can take 4 weeks before ur due date, it hard to say u will deliver early or late, my 1st ger is late by 1 week in the end have to induce, my 2nd ger late by 3 days, this 3rd 1, donno will be late again or not... Since u are still working, walk more maybe will be early... My 1st ger i start rest 2 weeks before due, i too lazy so keep saying at home didn't walk more, my 2nd 1, also late, but i try to walk alot lucky only late for 3 days and start dilite it self if not got to induce again... I scare of induce, so painful...

Well.. depends on your family history... My gynae suggest i take the test..
Normally it is suggested to take the test around 24 to 28 weeks..

I'm taking my ML on 26th June, my EDD is on 12th July. As my company's cut off date (for pay) is on 26th, more convenient for them to calculate my pay also. Haha!!

I am starting my maternity leave early. Edd is 30 June but since I need to fly back before 35 weeks I am stopping work from may day onwards. Back to do all last min shopping. Tomorrow will be hitting 28 weeks, v fast! Baby is now v active in stomach keep on Karate inside. Braxton hicks also v obvious. Sleep is getting more and more difficult as baby will kick me when I lie on my left. Right is ok but still v uncomfortable.

I read somewhere that most pple will give birth on 38 weeks, and 40weeks is full term which is our EDD. For my case, my company needs me to give advance notice so I chose to take earlier. If not just wait for waterbag to burst lor. :p

If can better to wait for baby due to come out, for 30+ weeks is still ok for baby but if u are not overdue, don think gynea will wan to induce... For me when i first induce is really very painful, in 2006 i admit in the morning to induce, my baby is overdue by 1 weeks. Mid night 2+ then in labour coz got blood... I try not taking epidural so i endure till morning and at least i cannot ta han liao coz been so long and not deliver yet, i even scold my hubby... My hubby no choice let me take epidural then at least i can slp if not i didn't slp the whole night coz of the pain...

After that i scare of induce, i been trying to walk alot when i am going to due so i don't need to induce anymore... Everyone is diff so i not so sure... Lucky my 2nd ger was late by 3 days and went in to labour as it dilite it self so don need induce... Do walk more for the last mths... I take 3 hrs in labour for my 2nd ger without epidural... This time also opt w/o epidural... Hope can be faster...

Hey mummies, how's this brand new week starting out for everyone? :)

Mine started with three hours at the clinic - only saw doctor (actually her intern!) for 10 minutes. Also had my glucose test done - they took three tubes of blood! After the first tube, I thought it was done and I looked down - regretted it, cos I'm quite scared to see the needle poked into my skin..
