Hello illuz...ok I just sent you an invite. Let me know if you don't receive it. :)
If your gal is still feeding normally, then I guess you need not worry. My boy is drinking less milk now since starting solids, but I'm not too worried coz I feed (bm) on demand so just go along with his needs...
Hey ajcy, nope i haven start him on solids yet. Still on full bm for now.. Planning to start him very soon. Probably with rice cereal first next week or so. So exciting that they are embarking on a different phase now. :D Yours alrdy on solids?
Hello ajcy! Yes time flies indeed. My boy is turning 5 months in a few days time. He can flip both sides very fast now and starting to do caterpillar crawl. :001_302:
Very solid baby weighing 9kg...chubby like a potato! :wong19:
Hello mummies, I've delivered my second son on 2 Jan 2014. It was a natural delivery without epidural, and I took only less than 4hrs in the delivery suite. Glad all went smooth. Breastfeeding is a breeze for this time, maybe coz of experience with my first child.
Finishing my confinement in a...
Went for my gyane checkup yesterday. My boy has crossed over the 3kg mark now at week 36. Saw his 3D scan and he looks so cute! Excited and counting down now...
Also did my strep b swab test...was not painful at all.
I'm doing mine this coming Thursday. Last time during my 1st pregnancy my gynae did not do the strep b test so this will be my first time. Hoping that it will not be painful!
I will also be doing the strep b test next week, by then i will be week 36 going to week 37.
Missy, I dunno any remedies for water retention but hope your swelling and pain will go away soon... Maybe your baby too big and pressing on some nerves.
But i heard from my mum saying that if you have...
For my first pregnancy, I continued to express bm at work till my son was 8months old. I had enough inventory to last him till he was 13mths.
Does your workplace have a nursing room and fridge? I think to be able to express bm at work, you need to have an understanding boss and a conducive...
I had water retention for my #1, but this time round don't have. Surprisingly I still can wear my wedding band when during my last pregnancy I had to remove them when I entered 3rd trimester. Carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness and pain in the fingers and arms) will hit many women after...
Did my hospital tour yday..actually more for orientation of where to report to when the big day comes, what to expect in the delivery suite and what is provided etc.. Just dont want to panic when the day comes, not knowing where to go to when reach hospital. :D
Anyway my baby weighs 2.7kg yday...
I dont feel so much pelvic pain, but recently starting to feel aches and pains in my lower back, and I walk more and more like penguin now. The bump also feels like getting lower and lower.... Seeing my gynae tomorrow, looking forward to see how the young one is coming along. Also going for my...
illuz, I just bought a packet of 7 disposable maternity panties for about $3-4 i think. Bought from those kind of budget cheap cheap store from my mother's neighbourhood market. Agree with babytazz that disposable panties are more for convenience coz no need to wash. First few days will bleed...
Sharing what I pack in mine. Basically 2 groups of things to bring... 1 group are the things for mummy:
* disposable panties
* extra maternity pads
* jacket or cardigan to keep warm
* socks / slippers
* toiletries
* plastic bags for dirty clothes
* nursing bras and pads
* nipple cream
* front...
Take care babytazz! Hope u are getting better now...
Now quite a number of pple around me falling sick, keeping my fingers crossed that I won't kena. :P
Anyone packed their hospital bag already? I'm just going to start.... so exciting, we're at the last leg of the pregnancy liao!
I do not wish to induce. Will wait for baby to give signal...my gynae say he will likely come out on his own. My first one came out in week 39. Think this one will also come out earlier...
Hello Patrick, my gynae also told me my baby could be December baby too. Coz his size is 2 weeks ahead... Waiting for my next visit next week to see how much more he has grown since last month.
Hmm my gynae doesn't check blood at every visit leh. Bii, yours get checked every time you see the gynae?
Anyway I guess continue your iron supplements and maybe foods listed in this link:
