Hi all i'm pretty new here. how do I add myself to this group? I'm due around 21st Jan. Keen to meet new moms to be!
Btw for all mummies who are experiencing calf cramps at night, immediately flex your feet and it will go away IMMEDIATELY. Its very miraculous! I tried it so many times and prevented many many painful calf cramps ever since!!!
Nidellia I same boat as u, we shld be same EDD n my glucose test level very high at 11.0 mmol/L.
Dear all mummies the glucose test is for 24-28 weeks n like some of u all said it's dependent more on genetics n ur body reaction to sugar plus change in hormones. So if ur 16weeks report is above normal n with family history then u have to take . Otherwise if ur obstetrician does not send you then good news cos it's a time consuming 3 hrs tests with 3 blood extractions and 3 urine test. It also cost a fee.
For CordLife n stemcord, it's cheaper to get at the fairs. They have special price and additional disc of u have the Thomson/ raffles / Alvernia cards. But I will not be signing . For those signing better to use CDA n opt for 21 years cos CDA only can be use at age of 7, no point subscribing yearly if u storing till 21 years. Yearly is more costly
btw i took the GD test but no urine test involved except normal routine checkup....the blood test cost me about $30.
Any mummies did both blood and urine?
so glad have passed the GD testand gynae said my body processed the sugar real fast! I found that after drinking the super sweet drink...my body feel slightly uncomfortable which lasted a few minutes...anyone has this experience... Maybe i drank too fast as i scare i will vomit out so i gulp it all within a few seconds. Afterthat nurse gave me half cup water and said no food & drink is allowed afterthat hence i only drink half cup plain water. Feeling ok & no hungry even after completion of GD test. Good luck to those taking the GD test soon.
Mummies, any of you have any problem with "protein". Cos the last time i did the urine test, they say protein a bit on the high side. Dont really understand. She say might be becos i did not clean before i pee....hmmm i have quite a lot of white discharge. Any of you experience that too?
i will be doing both in about 1.5 weeks time. I tot is a must to do both?
For my no 1, i did the test. I still remember the beginning, i was so happy. Cos very long never drink, cold, fizzy drinks. But halfway, i almost puke, cos soooo sweet. Gynae say the sugar level in that drink is almost 4 times that of coke. I tot i can escape this time round..but then..sigh need to do in 1.5 weeks time..sigh.
But then i dun remember drinking water during the test. Ur nurse so nice![]()
just had my monthly check up last sat. at 29 weeks. baby at 1.4kg. hehee.. baby still in oblique/transverse position though.
doc still din mention anything about the GD test and i forget to ask also.
next check up will be in 3 weeks time. and i think after that will be like 2 weeks once?
very very soon... 70 days to go!
I didn't do the GD test because doc said not necessary as my weight gain is normal and baby not exceptionally big.
sherlly, im already visiting doc every 2 weeks since im week 27.
Will be discussing my birth plan 2 weeks later.
wow... so fast. do you hav those antenatal packaged signed? in this case i think the packaged will not be enough right?I didn't do the GD test because doc said not necessary as my weight gain is normal and baby not exceptionally big.

sherlly, if it's a first baby, i think my gynae told me if doesn't turn by wk 32 she would schedule a c-sec. i understand for subsequent babies they can turn right up to just before birth. you could check with your gynae what is his/her threshold for baby turning before scheduling a c-sec.wow... so fast. do you hav those antenatal packaged signed? in this case i think the packaged will not be enough right?

Is my 2nd baby. HE want save $ mah. I think he is able to do wash & clean since my gal is now under his care cos of my big belly. Bathing part, I have the netting which clip to the small red bath tub, so that can keep his hands free for taking soap & sponge. He is quite "Jie pi" (always want cleanliness), washing part, just throw bb clothes in the washing machine only mah. He just need to cook extra food for himself & my gal. The caterer will cook for me. My only worry is my gal can accept a new family member or not. SHe is a terror, destroy, mess up, throw temper, everything say "don 1", very dominant ( almost same behaviour w my hubby).
hi mommies~~ yeah are we all at 3rd trim alr?? tmr is my gynae visit.. and after tmr, will be twice weekly visit..!! last week started to be more "healty".. climb stairs to my office (lucky office at 3rd floor only) and my colleague acc me to swim every week.. hopefully baby can get engaged and go for natural birth.. save $$..
ya 3rd trim...i at my 30 wks now...10 more wks to go...so fast! Next visit still 4 wks visit and after next visit, will be biweekly i guess so really very fast! I think i also need to buck up and be more active.
Do you go to swimming pool to relax? I wondering can wear back my swimming costume & soak in the swimming pool to relax my stomach. Very heavy.
Hi pyng,
My hubby don noe how to cook. But he 1 2 try cook himself by following the cooking book. I can advice him by his side. Act most husbands don like to do these, so it is quite normal that they rather pay $ to get someone do it.
My gal is 1 more month to become 3 year old. My 2nd baby-to-be is a gal too.
My gal also does the same thing as ur gal during sleeping. everytime have to push her to father side. I tried with bolster but i still feel the pressure pain, furthermore, baby always does boxing during my sleeping time.
So you have 2 months & 2wks to go. Jia you. I have 3 months to go.
After maternity leave, I need to go for operation on my left & right as left side has 5 cm dermoid & right has 2cm dermoid too. I just finished an operation 17 Oct due to gall bladder inflammation cos stone inside.
Do you go to swimming pool to relax? I wondering can wear back my swimming costume & soak in the swimming pool to relax my stomach. Very heavy.
not bad already...my hubby will tabao instead of cook! Hmm if i were u, i will pay the confinement fee myself coz not easy to handle it and u still need to bf etc...how to rest? Unless u are young mum maybe can tahan the tiredness...but not me lol.
My gal younger than urs a few months and my second one also bb gal hee. So ur gal squeeze and sleep in between u and hubby? My gal has her own room and she still need me or hubby to accompany her to sleep...so me and my hubby sleep seaperately...hee In fact i like to sleep on my own (have a better sleep & can have whole queen size bed myself lol).
tks same to u and u jiayou too. What is dermoid same as stone? Why u got it?
No i go yoga weekly instead coz swim is inconvenient for me besides i dun like public pool. Swimming is good for pregnant lady and if can, u can go relax or swim.
