Kitkats, are you under Dr. Tan HH? How come your next appointment is 2 weeks later?

I last saw him in 33 weeks and he scheduled me 3 weeks later. By then 36 weeks. So only both of us stick to Dr Tan. Circle goes private already.

He told me next appointment. That means when we see him at week 36. I find it a bit late. Yup going for natural as much as possible unless baby's position is not favourable to go natural. Last visit he did tell me baby's head was down already.
 
Yes 2 more weeks if all is right on timing. Haha. Faithfullyours and kitkats, seems like kkh gynae doesn't schedule weekly visit even in trim 3. Mine also despite having twins.

Ete I hope mine not sign of labour if yes let it continue for 2 weeks more haha.

Though I register my method of delivery still not much briefing on what need to be done on the day of admission. Doc also no say time of csec and what time I must go in hospital to prepare lol. My next last checkup think she will then brief me.
 
Good morning everyone. As usual I can't sleep again. Yeah 2 more weeks by right la if baby can wait. My csec will be 28 Oct one day after my buddy. Yesterday night my tummy pain like mad again. If she can last Somemore inside I am happy. She must be at least bigger slightly more than week 37 then come out then better. Imagine I am eating medicine 3 times a day just to reduce my contraction. Jia you. Day by day really counting down very fast already. .
Buddy what nice ration you bought. Btw that day dh bought wrong item for my ration I asked him to get. Yesterday ask him buy grocery which we have been using for more than 1 year and guess what he bought wrong item again. Pengz** that's why that time when I can go downstair, I have already bought all the basic necessity to standby.
 
Hahaha bud our dh almost almost. Yesterday he went get his stuff and he stock up a lot of drinks for me. Soft packet drinks. He say let me drink more before I pop cause he know confinement I cannot drink. What a way huh. Let my mum know he encourage me drink so much cold water now also no gd. But I actually been drinking alot cold water since d1 of my pregnancy I hope it doesn't affect babies. He also bought Sara Lee cake for me. Super old skool! I'm going office today but I hope by noon can finish I feel like popping over harbour front mothercare to get some set of newborn tops those button type easier to wear then below just let bb wear diapers.

Actually now sleeping is painful for me too. When I lie sideway my ears pain. Body also ache. Even when turn change position the whole tummy weight seems to be all over causing a strain. Quite painful to even change sleeping position on bed. Probably now I know why they say twins can deliver at 37 weeks.

Yesterday didn buy much ration cause dh went supermarket alone without me. I feel tell him get sure wrong this wrong that so I rather get myself since I going office today then go buy. I will be buying those frozen pau also. In fact my fridge still got frozen Prata. Won't be buying much maybe mostly will just apply peanut butter on bread and eat.

Ladies, really we are all getting ready and popping soon. How r u girls feeling? Don't know when I am so near I suddenly feel scare. Scare as in so many things will change after that, wonder how I will cope and how things will go. I going to b a mum myself. The dream I been waiting for so long yet I don't know if I'm
Mentally prepared for it. My girls will confirm be my pride and joy but I just don't know the so many ???? In me now Haha. I just hope the days ahead will only get better in terms of work wise, health and luck.
 
Lynncandy ur tummy pain is not shitting type pain? So it's still those contraction pain? Is it going to last daily till give birth? Like that also difficult. Two more weeks seems long then. How effective is the medicine did doc say? But because usually once dilute means won't go back zero reading right just that it will slow down process?
 
Wow.. I think I will ask friend buy frozen pau or waffles or pizza.. haha I got peanut butter and Nutella at home can use as spread yum yum. Poor us got to eat ration at home lol.
I also got many question marks in my mind now. Like scare this and that and I am going to be a mum mum soon meaning cannot just think of the 2 of us when we do things.
I think when discharge that time we might not be able to carry baby as our stomach womb still there? ?
Oh my tummy pain is like menses cramp and sometimes want to poo the feeling. Dilated already meaning cannot go back to zero as of now. But I everyday pain thinking dilated how many cm already man. Tomorrow I am seeing doc again. Cross my fingers. 2 weeks seem a bit far for me based on my case. Well after tomorrow review then see how again.
Jia you..
 
I can't sleep well too. Keeps tossing around on bed at least for an hour before I can sleep. This week I feel some mild cramp like pain but I am unsure what it is. But usually I go toilet and poo and the pain will just go away. So I attribute it to stomachache. Last visit to Dr Ang and Dr Tan, none of them told me I had constractions. So I guess the pain isn't contraction?
 
I think that one is tummy ache. If contraction the pain is like both sides muscles pulling towards Centre. Actually I also don't know I got contraction until put on machine as my pain level is quite high. But again mine is everyday pain so I don't think yours is contraction after going toilet. Maybe since yours nearing delivery might just be Braxton hicks. Trial contaction but not the real one.

Trial contraction lol. I finally clear my work stuff. Maybe next week go agin 1 more time midweek. I also got peanut butter the chunky one I love it. Today had 3 slices of bread with that. I fancy spread with chunky stuff better bitting feel. Not going lunch cause still full maybe later dinner dabao eat. I want drink bubble tea with pearls lol.
 
Haha you go and Google Braxton hicks to me really like trial contraction lol. My friend is coming to visit me don't know what she will buy hehe.. Hopefully some nice food. . Later I as going qoo10 to shop hope the damage will not be great.
Recently the rest very quiet?? Hello how are you all? ?
 
still remember those days where we keep going asos for maternity wear. now no more there already. i just had a large cup of koi so full now...

cheerywalnuts how is your washing so far..all clean and dry? i washing one batch of new born front buttons clothes also. bought a few more just now purely for babies starting use cause i think newborns easier if wear those front button instead of rompers.
 
Lynn, me very busy these few days washing n drying.

Iwantahealthybaby, I finish washing bbs clothes, pillow covers, bath towels, wash cloths n hankies today. Moving on to bedsheets, cot organiser n diaper mats.. Think need another 3 days then can finish.. Sweat!
 
Ladies, do I need to pack maternity pad, disposable panties, diaper, breast pump into my hospital bag? Some said provided some said chargeable . Confuse. Lol... I know toiletries is provided FOC if u stay in a1/b1.
 
Kitkats, i pack maternity pads, 2packs of disposable panties, diapers i pack some newborn samples in if need more then ask dh to bring. I m under subsidy so no foc toiletry
 
Last edited:
kitkats maternity pad is provided by kkh under a1/b1. 2x10s pack so total 20 pieces but I don't know its the loop type or stick on type. initially I pack 10 pkt stick on then realise since they provide I just took out my pad from my bag but end up I pack 4pieces again back just in case they give is those loop type. I didn bring diaper and breast pump and yes they will charge you accordingly but I heard the diaper they open for bb use already if leftover they let u bring back. cause I don't know if we bring the hospital will use anot. anyway my hospital bag quite full already so I just minimise. disposable panties I bring cause the list no say but I suppose will provide bah but anyway cause the panties I prepare is specially for csec afterwards so I wear my own more comfy.

cheerwaylnuts jiayou! its tiring but when u hang those lil clothes up the feeling is cannot be described one. I am hanging my lil laundry now as well. last batch before csec. next week I shall lay the mattress cover.


lynn having good time with friend at home already?

today dh work late so I may need to rot at home. actually I wanted to go harbourfront but decided not to. maybe tomorrow see free anot if free then go a while.
 
Kitkats! good weight! Me at 1.9kg at 33w last week. Hahaha! doc says ok. didn't raise alarm that she is too small. next appt is coming sat. wondering if beanie engaged already.

weirdly I can't rem my kkh appt. but I haven't receive their notification. so should be next tues la. I rem kkh appt was scheduled quite apart which I was a bit disappointed. I will poss prepare a thank you card to dr tan. he is really a good doc.

anyway I eventually opted for mt a. They sent me confirmation sms of my delivery at Mt A and a delivery package to prep me for delivery. supposed to fax pre - admission form back so that admission is auto on delivery day.
and yeah, me also having cramps but it goes away so I don't try to bother with it.

weight wise... i guess I haven been putting on weight (me still at net weight loss after 1st tri) so baby on smaller side. but at least she is growing though slower. but growing is good :)
 
Girl tends to be smaller so Shldn be much of a worry. Ya I agree on kkh aptm really far apart. Mine almost 3weeks gg 4 since last check.

Girls my leg water rentention I notice some white small spots also like those rashes abit protruded out don't know it's dirty or what. Not itchy leh. I scare it's the shower foam I use not suitable. I using the Zhong gui one already for confinement.

Anyone still active in exercising?

Me! :) Just swam yesterday. 10 laps. I only started swimming at week 30. Started with 5 laps then increased to 20. But yesterday coz I had heartburn after eating glutinous rice. After 10 laps, I gave up. I ♡ swimming. It helps me relax.

I still climb and walk down stairs as usual.

By the way, those who are going to deliver naturally, you can start doing squats to widen your pelvis. This will make the delivery process easier and faster.

Ladies, I'm feeling excited for you! I was reading your stories in the IVF thread last year and was even cycling with some of you but I failed the 1st fresh cycle... And now, you gals are ready for delivery! How exciting! I pray that all will have a smooth delivery!

Now, I'm in the same dilemma like some of you before. I'm 18 weeks now but not sure if I should continue with Dr Tan HH or sign package with private gynae. I like Dr Tan and it's through his miracle hands that I have this baby, but frankly, I prefer the personal attention that I receive from private gynae... Sigh! 2 more weeks to decide...

Jiayou all!!!

Wah... you super active! will definitely help with your delivery. from young I cannot squat. will either fall forward or backward.

now preggy even worse. I just try to walk more and walk faster. weirdly I could only walk normally from 6.5months.. before that, either spotting or cramps.

Well if you don't mind... you could continue with both kkh and private then make the decision later. I must admit that it was a hard choice. Until now I still don't know if it was the right choice. I guess too bad. We won't be able to have the best of both worlds...

Unfortunately, the nurse from private clinic said I need to confirm by next appointment, otherwise, they will have to ask me to transfer to other gynae...

Thanks thanks! But I don't swim as fast as I used to lah. Really very slow and relax swim. I asked Dr Tan if I could continue swimming. He replied why not. I am worried what if I swim half way and my water bag burst, then how? He said even if that happens, then quickly get out of the pool and rush to hospital. Baby won't come out immediately.

Wah which clinic is that? At Dr Ang's, they didn't even rush me. My last visit was 32 weeks and the nurse only asked me if I have decided. She said latest by 34 weeks, I need to let them know but I stop going to Dr Ang already as we have decided to let Dr Tan to deliver our baby. :)

DH said imagine you have studied so hard for an exam and you want to see the results. It doesn't do Dr Tan justice if we go private. Yup I do agree with that.

My Doc from thomson women's also not like that. Think if you want private might want to consider thomson women's clinic which I think they are quite good and can always do extra visit with them. I think iwantahealthybaby also did extra visit to the clinic.

Faithfully, I am a swimmer too but it was before bfp. I can't swim after bfp so sad. Now I can't even walk much think I have been too active already. I can't wait to go back swimming after confinement or rest period.
My friend bought nice cake and kueh for me today yum yum. Hehe..

Yah... i also didn't have to decide until after week 31. In fact, I only signed private gynae package on week 20. A bit luigi cos the package starts from week 12 and cannot be pro rated.

For my case, I had more scares and weird preggy symptoms so hubby felt more assured that I can better care and attention from the private gynae. It also helped that under the private gynae package, I could just shift the appt forward and didn't have to pay for the extra visits.
 
i think my gyne so far also never ask anythg abt delivery.. i ask him b4 wat's a safe cut-off 2deliver @pte, in consideratñ nicu cost.. he said 35wk is a good guage.. he also agree if premature should deliver @kkh if not é cost is worryin..

so far no quesñ on delivery deposit also. but he did say b4 nearer he will check é vagina area, but most likely will hav 2do epistomy..

my nex visit is wk31, nex week.. this is a very buzy week 4me. at work n home.. come jul we will start buyin more baby stuff...

i also wan 2send a thank u card 2kkh nurse n thh! i still hope i will get 2see him along è corridor when i return é paperwork 2kkivf... n mayb a polaroid pht of baby hands/feet too!

i m very happy 4all of us too.. i still lookback @my cycle, n 感叹 am at so far now... i can feel é baby move left right strongly now! omg! n i sleep very well, problem is with wakin up...
 
Joy meme... Poss soon! I did my strep b test at 31w. Then 33w did blood test to make sure I got enough blood in body to go thru delivery plus a urine test. baby is already in delivery position at 33w. face facing butt and spine facing out. But not engaged yet. Hopefully this sat.. doc will tell me that beanie had engaged. Cos I have been feeling that she is lower. Sometimes v-area a little sore.
 
Buddy, after tonight 11 days More for you and 12 days More for me. Jia you! !
The rest of the sisters here jia you too!! We shall all graduate one by one very soon..

Yalor I was really surprise when I heard that from the nurse. Dr Phua can deliver at TMC, Mt Alvernia or Mt E Novena. He's such a patient gynae... I started to visit him as I had a few spotting experience. U know lah, we can't go directly to Dr Tan when there's emergency, so I went to the one nearer to my house... Hmmm... Guess I really have to think hard now...

Circle I am still very mobile and can walk relatively fast, sometimes to the extent I jog a little as I want to be fast. Just keep telling myself that I need to move.
 
Faithfully, great to be active for better natural delivery. How I wish I can. .
Btw anyone got any confinement recipes?? Or any breastfeeding talk got give any recipes? They say confinement must eat more ginger for the mummy but if we eat too much ginger later bf to the baby like not very good wait yellow. Any idea those bf talks got recommendation to eat what type of food during confinement? Btw you ladies bought what brand diapers huh?
 
Been so long Since I read so many post. Hi ngyl, understand where u coming from like thh give u the lil life and u didn continue with him till end like 忘恩负义. For my case twins so I no headache staying with kkh but I see pte gynae also during 1st 2nd trim as I find the kkh aptm too far apart. And my pte gynae also say better stick with kkh and just go to him for extra checkup. Anyway whatever u chose it's for the best of your bb :)

I only active in walking/shopping. I relatively walk a lot and fast too till my legs started water rentention not I cannot walk but it's painful so start to walk real slow. But it's gd that u girls maintain active lifestyle. Gd for own body too.

Yes bud 11 more days!!! Next week whack one more coconut! How many have u drink so far?

So blood test before delivery is to ensure got enough blood to go ahead with delivery? I suppose to have that test too.

Tomorrow I slacking at home. Maybe during lunch I sneak out harbour front walk walk haha go mothercare!
 
I heard if baby jaundice then don't eat so much ginger. I order tingkkat so just eat what they cook. Lynn yr food is mum cook? She doesn't know? Maybe u can go natal essential website see their menu and get ideas from there. Hehe.

I bought huggies and pampers brand. See what they prefer hope no preference.
 
I can't sleep again. Woke up at 2am till now sob sob. Baby also not sleeping inside.
Hmm.. is anyone awake like me?
For diaper any other brand not bad? Some told me mamy poko is good.
So far I only drink coconut water once, I very scare to drink wait deliver. Maybe next week I shall whack 2 since is already week 37.
 


I can't be too active in walking else water retention will be bad too. Only doing some stretching.
I didn't sleep well too... so this morning ordered wrong beverage lolz! :(

Confinement recipes - can borrow Chinese books from library

I bought Goo.n and bosomi. Hoping it's suitable so next time just order online. Collected few pieces of samples in case there's a need to trial and change brand.

Which week will gynea start checking us for contraction?
