Usually at 30wks .. Gynae will ask u to start counting the movements from 8am -6pm at least 10 movements during this period. As baby are usually very active at night so normal baby will Definetly move alot. During the day.. Baby won't move that much for some days but u can make your baby move.. Hmm then just count.. If he moves once then consider one time. Surely u have a way to make ur baby move right??

Sing, talk, drink water, put a cold flask on ur tummy... Listening to music. . Etc. Ur baby should be moving now ... U have to be abit more sensitive, observe & feel the movement.
Oic. So as long as there are 10 movements per day its ok? My gynae didnt ask me to count alth I m now just past 31 wk. Maybe he will at my next appt.

I will usually shake my tummy to make my baby move. Wonder is that too violent? Haha...

If u bring sterilizing tablets u still need boiling water not just hot water. So why don't u just pass ur bottles or pump n ask them to do it for u ...
Oh sterilizing tablets still need hot water? I always thought normal tap water will do. Ok maybe its easier to just pass the nurses the pump then.

I'm in my week 29 now....
My baby moves very regularly and strongly, definitely more than 10 times a day.
These days I can't sit for very long. He stretches out his legs and push against my ribs and stomach area, making me very uncomfortable. Over the weekend I tried to watch a movie with my hubby but can't sit still throughout the show..I keep having to adjust my body. Halfway through almost had to stand up and watch from the last row. :p
Sometimes he head-butts my bladder too...making me feel short experiences of incontinence.

Sorry to ask again on disposable maternity briefs/underwear - i've looked at 2 Guardian and 2 Watson and nobody seems to have heard of this before.

Can anyone tell me if there's a brand name for such thing? Also is normal maternity pads (like Kao) night version (around 34cm) ok to use after delivery? I saw kotex loop but couldn't visualise how to use it!

If u stay near tpy, can get from a shop (ipretty, nt wrong). Its along the row of shops near koi, just beside the small lane leading to carpark. They have maternity disposable panties. One pack of 5 cost abt $5+ if i din rem wrongly..

If I rem correctly, my antenatal teacher said the bottles have to be boiled for about 10min before they are considered sterile.

Hi Climsp,

hi MTBs,
hope all is doing alright. =))
as for me bb will move non-stop when she's hungry. n will stop only i've eaten alot. i read that on our 3rd trimester we need to eat small 6 meals but i dont think i can. if i dont eat enuff, the lil' princess will move non-stop n it's so uncomfortable! especially at night. hello to sleepless nights from now on. she is just moving too much at night till hubs had to scold her then her kicks slow down abit.. hehehe. one time i was woken up w pain on my right ribs due to her kick!! but im not complaining tho cz i know she's alive n kicking.. hehehhe.

belly button wise, mine is non existence already. popped out n it's so soft! when touch i feel ticklish. hard to do the dishes now.

think the ones at guardian and watsons are not maternity. i bought the freesized ones (and one mens pack accidentally!) from watsons. if you want maternity, can get from spring maternity or kiddy palace. not sure what is the diff

think the normal pads are ok but maternity pads are thicker so provide more cushioning.
