Hi all mummies... How are all of you? Finally finished reading to catch up.. And wow.. The big day is definitely coming closer for most of us huh! Hehe.. Its been soo long since i logged in.. I actually kept forgetting my password and needs to get it reset by admin.. Sheesh..
Anw regarding the stuff i mentioned in my last postings... Hope i get them right! Lol
Not in order..
1. doula service - we didnt engage 1 cos of my husband's erratic working hours
2. Maternity belt - i didnt get one as I managed to learn how to deal with the pain along the way
3. Birthing / gym ball - a veryyy good investment as it helps to ease the back, pelvic pain. Also good to sit or roll on it gently before labour.. Hope i get to do this in the birthing room unless bb decides to make a surprise! Get the anti-burst one!
4. Prenatal yoga - tmc has special arangement with true yoga with good discounts.. I went and it was worth it.. Helped to deal with pain and breathing, calming techniques altho i forgot some steps by now lol... I learnt that its ok to slowly and gently stretch ourselves which i was very scared to do last time.. It works whenever i pulled a muscle..
Other things im taking note of:
Birth plan - i learnt we dont have to be too restrictive about it. Just make sure we are specific about certain matters, others have to give and take according to circumstancd. remember, it is a good guide, but not meant to serve as the perfect plan.. As things may not go as we always planned..
I'm at 37th weeks now.. Head is down, but not yet engaged as of last week's checkup. Next checkup is this sat, 30th!
I've just washed my newborn's clothes (like finally!) lol.. Cos my gf's early birth jolted me into further action.. Her edd was 7th jan, she gave birth normally yesterday! I've yet to double confirm mine so see how next appt
Packed essentials in hospital bag, just left for the clothes.. I just couldnt decide what to put inside for mine! Lol...
Some mentioned experiencing frequent bowel movements.. I've been having pretty smooth and frequent ones past 2 days. From 1-4 times a day. Seems that almost after a meal, have to go.. But in small amounts.. Its better now cos i used to be so constipated.. Now just feel urge or slight lower pain, go loo , sit and wait and.... Lol... I read up flu-like symptoms are also signs of labour coming soon.. I had that last week. But not sure maybe cos i was caught in a drizzle? Lol..
Anw hope you dont mind me suddenly posting such a long entry! I couldnt sleep.. And been experiencing vomitting again.. Haizz..
Anyone has given birth yet? So exciting!! Hehe..!
