EDD March 2013

Don't they usually just take it for you during the 20th week scan? Mine was done without any extra charge, it was all part of the detailed scan.

Also I just found out that during each of my doctor's appointment, my doctor would do an ultrasound scan and it's at no additional charge on top of his consultation charges. It's about $70++ and my doctor is a senior consultant, private.

Do you all have ultrasound scan at every single return visit?

Anyone planning to do 3D/4D scans ? When would be the best time to do? Any suggestions..

 

[cagnes]

Mine nv do the 3D during detail scan
yes, my gynae does ultrasound on every visit with no extra charge

 

[NeyMO]

Just done my 28weeks scanning. Boy boy very active and healthy. Now he is 1.3kg - slightly heavier than average one (1kg) but my Gynae said no issue : )

Apr Gal, probably we are gaining weight exponentially and that's could be the reason that you suffer now. Hmm.. I do have backache and couldn't stand too long. So I would rather find a seat whenever I feel tired.

My sister in fact advised me to ve coconut drink from 32 weeks onwards. : )

Purple... I think it may be due to baby movement which may "pull" some of the nerves... Pre-natal massage is useful to place back these tangled nerves n messy trails cause by baby movements in tummy.

I got abrasion 2-weeks ago, apparently - it seems i hv outgrown my panties as my thight grow bigger. So nw... Im wearing Gs only... Lol... Need to buy tos boxer type underwear to avoid abrasion at the sides. >_<*

Susan... My baby kiks anytime he wants. Usually wen hes hungry, or wen im watching tv/movie, almost each time i sits. Sometime while walking also he kiks.

Neymo - gynea says its normal... As im under govn sub, gynea will kept changing. Sooo irritating. I ask ALL the gynea i met, they jus shrug their shoulders n says its normal... Only the lady who massage me says that due to my baby is tall n bcause my body frame is small, i will feel it wen he strech his legs... She suggested i tied a long shawl under my breast arnd my rib cage. Tis is to "limit" the space baby can swim/strech. It works - only feel hurt wen too tight or too loose.

PooiYan - me & hubby also saw n feel the baby weight baby lean on in the tummy. Mine usually curl n hv his head at bottom, body more to my right side, arms n legs felt frm belly button to left side. His legs usually kiks near or at my left rib cage.

nyukmooy - my baby will kick/stretch at night time like 7pm - 9pm. Afternoon, sometime can feel his movement. My baby so far so good. He kicks/ stretch 2-3 each time. Everytime he kicks, i will touch my tummy, then he will stop kicking.

Hi NeyMo, I also have backache also. Do you know how to swim? Swimming can help. Nowaday, i swim once a week. My backache disappear. Before i star swimming, i always get my hubby to rub my back. Now, I do not need him to do so.

Hi everyone! FTM here with EDD on 10 March. Am seeing Dr Wong Mun that at Gombak so will deliver at Thompson. Coming to the end of my 26th week already. Baby girl is kicking and nudging a lot, and all is well so far!

Am wondering if there is really a need to get the malay massage lady post-delivery. What are the benefits? Anyone planning to use only Medela Calma bottle for baby? I'm wondering if baby will reject the bottle as it is harder to get the milk/water compared with other bottles. Am planning to BF during maternity leave, so thought of using only Calma when letting hubby feed the baby.

How's d delivery charges by Dr Wong n where u will b delivering? Did he offer any prenatal package?

 

[Apr gal]

Hi Neymo, my bb gal is 1.2 kg but I gained 10kg in total. Wonder how much more I will gained til delivery? Wat bout u? For d coconut water any idea if we r supposed to drink only d water or can eat d flesh as well? How often shd we drink?

Nowadays life getting tough. If I sit sometimes bb head will touch my thigh so it's not comfortable. Stand or walk, swollen feet n loose joint can't support well. And easily backache. Sleeping time oso tough cos nd to rest on side which is better for bb n can't rest on my tired back to release tension.

Hi NeyMo, I also have backache also. Do you know how to swim? Swimming can help. Nowaday, i swim once a week. My backache disappear. Before i star swimming, i always get my hubby to rub my back. Now, I do not need him to do so.

Thanks nyukmooy for the advise!!! Yes, I used to swim until 3 months preggie.. but I couldn't fit into my swimming suit anymore.. And I dont dare to wear Bikini in public pool. Toooooo shy.... haha.. I also wanna to resume swimming if possible. Currently with 7 months ++ baby bump and it looks very very tight with the suit ...:001_302:

Hello AprGal!! Wow.. you baby girl is growing well ya!! I have gained total 6kg so far. There are about 11 weeks to go to achieve 40 weeks full term so I could expect 0.5kg to be gained every week. Then I should gain total 11.5kg for my whole pregnancy.. haha... anyway lets see how. Worry cant really slim down after the baby is born .:001_302:

My sister whom gave birth 2 weeks ago advised me to drink the coconut water only as too much fat in the flesh. She drank 3 times a week from 32 weeks onwards. But Mrs Wong from Thomson taught us to drink the coconut water from 36 weeks onwards to cool the body temperature as we will be carrying a "small oven" that time... :001_302:

I'll keep monitoring my temperature from 32 weeks onwards and start to drink coconut drink once my body temperature is getting high.

My gynae said the baby head already turning down anyway he will still turn and turn until late of pregnancy and show the engagement : )

 

[gtss]

Hi apr gal, me too. The max I can walk is one hr. Recently bought new shoes with more cushion. Add additional padding but not of much help. My mil ask me not to take coconut. She says too cooling. She advised taking bird nest if want baby to be clean and smooth.

 

[NeyMO]

While doing yr w28 scan did any of yr gynae show u d whole scan of bb? Mine only shows head n heartbeat. So I din get to c wat my bb doing inside

Hello Apr Gal, me too.. My gynae only measure the head to estimate the weight of bb and also heartbeat... but during the scanning, I could see my baby was moving actively until the ultrasound photo showed "shaky movement" like non-stop robot. :001_302:

 

[NeyMO]

Hi luckymum, my doc din show me my bb full view, nor measure my tummy.

My gynae used to measure my tummy to estimate the weeks of pregnancy since 24 weeks onwards. :001_302:

 

[NeyMO]

Hi apr gal, me too. The max I can walk is one hr. Recently bought new shoes with more cushion. Add additional padding but not of much help. My mother in law ask me not to take coconut. She says too cooling. She advised taking bird nest if want baby to be clean and smooth.

Hi Gtss, both coconut drink and bird nest are cool stuffs. It really depends how frequent you take during pregnancy. Just a sharing, Mrs Wong from Thomson mentioned that both stuffs wont make baby clean and smooth and the 2 criteria really depends on how your body cope with baby growth during pregnancy :001_302: Anyway, I am drinking self-boiled bird nest since 24 weeks onwards once a week. My hubby said must take good care of my skin eventhough during pregnancy. :001_302:

Hi NeyMo,
YOu should invest 1 pcs of pregnancy swim suit. I invested one. Currently, Spring maternity, Vivo got year end sales. I just paid S$50 plus after discount. For me, i dont dare to wear bikini in public pool. ;-) Normally, I will go to SAFRA to swim. SAFRA is lesser people and only for member. Swimming really a good exercise. You should do so if you have a bad backache. My baby is already hit 27 weeks. I could not wear my normal swim suit any more. When your body into swimming pool, you feel siok...it cool down the mini engine. ;-)
