#1 had jaundice within her 1st wk though ... But lucky was mild:)
but I thought alot of confinement food is with Ginger? To ease the heartburn or something like that.... Not a fan of ginger anyways..:p

Hmmzz... Jovin, no need to crawl to office means start ML or work from home ? I'm already dying during 1st wk... Haha... Lucky girl keeps me sane but sometimes she annoys me by throwing things at me:/ I've a lil diablo in disguise... Hahaha
Working from home, from mon onwards. Was afraid that I get too bored so at least work can keep me occupied. Working till I pop. Unless I realli gets too tired. I will request to start ml. I do have enough leave till yr end. But ha ha already planning a short break with Hubby so wanna save some leave lor. Now at orchard tired and no mood if not becos walking is gd ha ha I prefer my bed!

Dun kno if it's real to keep a clean bb but the cooling effect of the cold coconut feels so shiok! Gave Hubby only 1 slip hahah drink more gers! Bottoms up! :p

Jess:Your bb is growing well. Mine only 2.8kg at wk 38. Today is the start of wk 39. Bb is still v comfy inside. So far I haven't exp another contractions. *weird right* I would imagine alot of PRCs from China will head to HK for delivery cos it's nearer. It's like Indon coming to SG for delivery. Cannot blame them oso cos I heard some of the scary stories of Indon gynae, I oso think they should come here to deliver bb for the good fo the mum and bb.

hakisumi: Me drinking coconut water only. Didn't eat the flesh but my maid made some coconut flesh ice cube to put in the fridge. She is v creative and loves cooking so I just let her do whatever she likes. Now I am too tired and lazy to bother as long as she does her work well.

Jovin: I know what you mean when you said you created a mess cutting the coconut. What I did was to lay the coconut(side ways) on my kitchen top (with cloth supporting so that it doesnt turn and run when I hold it down to be chopped). I will heck off the tip part, and go nearer and nearer to body till I hit the hardest point. (cos from the tip to the hardest point is the husk) Then I will make the coconut sit up straight then use the edge of the knife(sharp side nearest to your hand) to hit it. I turn the coconut and create/hit a sq so that I can dent the coconut top and insert my straw in it. I just drank 1 coconut yest, bought from NTUC. Very nice!

JocelynYL: My edd is 7 August (we are actually 3 days away from each other) but I am secreatly wishing bb to pop b/w 3- 6th Aug cos oneof the FB mummies say that these are good dates, accordinlg to fengshui I think. Anyway my next appt is 2 Aug & I am not sure what my gynae will do next to speed up the process.:001_302:

Pipilili, our edd date so near... LOL:001_302: It's now waiting games... Next week I still working.. sien~~~ :wong29: I just wondering if my water bag burst in the office.. how embarrass it will be.. :shyxxx:
My gynea told me that baby most probably not coming out earlier.. i wonder how accurate it is.. LOL... I hope what he said is true.. if not, it will be a mess if this little one come out earlier..

Are you gals prepare for the D day?

I am not exactly sure if I am really prepared but I guess with the current technology, my gynae shd be able to get the bb out.

I am going for epi and if all things fail after x hrs of pushing, there is always vaccum which can help suck bb out.(if I really cannot push)

Since we are already going to go into the delivery ward to face the 'music', just do our best. I will just listen to instructions of midwives and gynae and pray for the best. It's up to a point whr I wish bb comes out soon. Esp when you see mummies who are due after you, already carrying their belovered bb in their arms...*so sweet*

Hi mummies

Turns out i didn't need to go for ctg on sat. @ 1.30am got contractiOn 5-8 mins apart. Went to TMC at 3.30am. Labour for 24 hrs. End up c-sect :( born on 31st July 1am

But I'm glad that my baby boy is healthy weighs 3.54kg!

miaarose,
Your bb is big and healthy. Congrats.

Jess:
I am watching "zhen xiang" now. Cos my family was watching it in my parent's pl so I tag along to watch. I finished 6 episodes already. This lawyer show not bad. The elderly always say things they wanna say - 2 weeks ago they say my tummy v low, going to pop anytime and now I am still here, waiting to pop.

Engel:
You really "ang moh pai". I dun think I can bathe in hospital even though I want cos MIL and Mum will visit me. If they see me bathe, I think they will flip and tear down the hospital!


hakisumi:
Yep, will definitely take epi once I step into hospital(tt's going to be my 1st instruction to nurse) cos I have felt contractions and although mild but its not fun. My friend who didn't want to take ended up 38hrs labour for #1, plus in the end still die die must take. Hiah....what for suffer for so long right?

Yest night, got this crampy feeling on the top of my ab. I usually sleep like a log but was awoken by the pain/cramp. I know its mild contraction so I tried to pretend and still carry on sleeping till no choice got to sit up. Told my hubby but he is still sleeping happily at the other side!!! *guys!* Anyway I just tahan and then it stopped. Think probably the day is nearing...definitely this week.

Miaarose.... Congrats!!:D ... C sect sounds scary, seen a vid of it... But glad all's well:)

pipilili; I'm called stubborness... Haha....I think the washing hair has something to do 'wind' in later years.... But Singapore so hot and humid.... Don't think I can take it....

We're gonna start popping one by one.... Hmmmmmzzzzzzz

congratulations miaarose!! :)

pipi.. this one also very nice.. just finished showing last friday.. yea the elders always say things that confuses me -_- but just take them w a pinch of salt i guess..

engel.. i want to watch too.. but it only starts showing here this thurs.. i wonder if i can manage to get my husb bring me to watch or not.. though i think my sis and mum will flip :p


i will be showering at least every other day, if not everyday.. which my parents are OK with.. it's my husband who doesnt like the idea LOL i guess as long as we wipe dry and blow dry the hair should be all good

Hi all Aug mummies to be! Haven been checking out this forum for long!
I had just been to my gynae on Sat, and he just ask me to get ready to check up again this Fri 5/8 and if dilation ok, he will deliver my baby the next day! My EDD is suppose to be on 14/8, am hoping if my baby can 'tahan' till national day or not LOL. Apparently my dilation opening till now is approx 3cm, unknowingly! And I keep walking ard shopping for stuffs and such! Can't wait to see my baby gal soon!
