hi alien,
thanks for the update.. u're right.. now its either we're in so much discomfort from our bulging tummies or we're waiting anixiously for our little ones to pop into this world.. hehe
mummies who are having sleeping problems.. i'm having it too.. and when i turn, sometimes it hurts a little that i wake up.. so hard to get a comfortable position at all nowadays..
oh yah.. and another thing that i just realised.. my feet have started to get swollen 2 days ago.. to me.. it looks like 5 tiny sausages (toes) attached to a huge sausage.. haha.. but weird thing is i walk at least 20 mins a day and still i kanna this water retention.. very sianz.. it kinda hurts towards the night and i got to sleep with my feet proped up with a pillow.. any mummies have this problem already?

hi twiggy, doc gave me ventolin... got side effects so I try not to take unless necessary.. she says heart may palpitate and hands may tremble.. Today though resting at home still experience the tightening and relaxing.. so pat tummy and ask kiddo to be a good boy..
Talking about sleeping I also toss and turn.. at times sleep a bit on my side tummy and kiddo will just kick.. sigh, heard so much about the discomfort we have to go through in third trimester... Think just have to find a way to go around it.. some websites even suggests sleep in a half sitting position.
Weather is terribly hot these few days.. let's all drink more fluid to prevent getting dehydrated

Beside petrina and dodos, anyone's feet start to swollen? So far my feet still normal, but prob got to see the feet will get swollen or nt.
phy and agens, i have been drinking a lot of water and yet my lips still look dry at times. And talking abt sleeping problems, i have hard time turning from one side to another side cos of the tummy, when i turn from the sides, i can feel the pressure from the tummy, as if the bb is lying on my back instead.
btw anyone feeling breathless at times? like hard to breathe and have to take a very deep long breathe, something like dat? I have this prob which occur quite often

hi tub..
i pop my feet up last night.. but this morning still swollen..
somemore my hubby is a chinese physician and yet there's nothing much he can do except massage for me.. accuputure and medicine usually helps in non prenancy cases but now that i'm preggy.. he can't do accuputure on me..
nvm.. i'll try it another few nights and see if my sausages have shrunk or not.. haha

hi agnes,
i also do monitor my bb's movements.. but usually i realised that i am now rather immune to her movements expecially the rolls coz its not so obvious.. however i read from somewhere that as long as we set aside 2 or 3 times a day to monitor bb's movements (10 movements in 1 hour) its good enough already..
another trick is to have a snack and sit in a comfortable position or lie down and bb should start movement pretty soon.. its like she or he is also eating.. hehe.. quite cool..
hi phy,
have a good rest at home.. make full use of the mc given by your doc..
yah.. read books about the 'horrors' of the 3rd tri and its seems like i'm getting some of it already.. haiz.. i actually never expected to get water retention coz i've been walking a lot (in order to reduce the labour hours and water retention) and yet i still have it.. now also dunno how true that lots of walking will shorten the labour hours.. anyone heard of this before?
i feel breathless at times too.. but not very often.. other than that, i was complaining to my hubby that i feel so heavy and tired and can't jump and run as i used to already.. even now with the walking and i get breathless easier.. feels very unhealthy..
so no gals going for this sat's TCM prenatal class?

Hi Petrina, walking a lot helps reduce water retention meh? My feet started to be swollen when 2 months back... always pop my legs up under my workstation in office but still like that.. funny thing is doc ask me to sit and not stand most of the time... Well, one Auntie at work ask me to brew this drink, say will reduce water retention..yet to try though
Ang Zho (think these are red dates?) with ginger with a bit of longan.. (red dates and longan can be bought from Fu Hua )
She said just boil water then throw these three items in will do..
Thinking of trying to boil it this weekend...
Linda, haha, tell you honesty, I don't like drinking water.. so I drink water plus alot of other fluids like orange juice, yakult.. sometimes indulge in carbonated drink (which I think resulted in me gaining more weight than neccessary).

Etelle,
When I lay straight on my back then I will experience difficulty in breathing.
Hi all,
Visited gynae this morning, I am in my 30th week, bb weighing 1.8kg, increased 500g since last visit(3 weeks). Now got to visit gynae every 2 weeks. Kekeke... very accurate cos my weight gain is also 500g. =P
Now bb's position is ready, head below but gynae hopes that he will turn facing my butt. Now he is facing my front, his butt facing my butt, gynae said this way it is slightly more difficult to deliver. So hope he will do a twist in the later stage.
My 1st pregnany has no difficulty in sleeping etc... this one hor, he is very active and kicks anytime anywhere. Now when I lift up my legs to wear/remove pants, I will feel cramp on the lower part of tummy. Gynae tested me on water retention, me still don't have yet. I rmb during 8th mth+ then I got the water retention. My gynae very clever, he pressed my tummy and he can tell where is bb's head. Now I got many kicks and movement below my gastric, his feet are strong.

Anyone feel their appetite increasing? I'm feeling hungry more frequently now. Think I'll really start putting on more weight now. First two trimesters I was really struggling to put on weight.
I was looking for nappy cream and recall reading some mummie's discussion about which brand is good. But I can't recall the brand. CAn share w me again pls?

agnes,
Swimming is the best exericse for us pregnant mama. It is said to help ease labour pain and shorten labour duration. I did swim during my last trimester. This pregnancy going to do so also. But 1st time mummies, don't do brisk walking, it will lead to earlier labour.
phy,
Boil chinese barley with pandan leaves and corn. You can boil a big pot then put inside fridge then you and hubby can enjoy. Very nice... I am like you, I don't like to drink plain water. When I come to workplace, I am sure to drink teh-si bing(even during my 1st trimester) or can green tea, lucky thing is I don't like carbonated drinks.

missyland,
I read in a book that to get baby to turn facing the our butt is to go on all fours for 10 minutes a day from week 35 onwards.. don't know useful or not
Will try the barley drink too. I vow to stop drinking carbonated drinks for the next few weeks. Can't believe I can put on 1.5 kg in less than 2 weeks. Out of this 1.5, only 300g goes to kiddo. Think culprit is my indugence in carbonated drinks...

Don't add too much sugar, ah boh think also gain weight from the barley water also. kekeke... add in honey cube which you can buy from those normal traditional medical hall. Me hor, simply block out the labour pain, somemore I experienced that before. Sudden cramp, sudden weird feeling makes me think whether am I going to deliver liao. More scary...
Petrina,
Hmm... you can wear a float to protect yr bb. LOL... Just joking. You see you can visit your relative or friends who lives in condo or not. Think more hygienic and safer.

I also got a free bedding set from baby kingdom where i bought the cot but i dun like the design lei.. keke...

Wow, so many posts today...
Like most of you, I also have problems breathing. I'll suddenly feel breathless and very heavy. Then have to pause, and take long deep breaths. Even just standing. Today I was in the queue at the bank. 5 mins and I couldn't tahan liaoz. Waist area felt so heavy, couldn't really stand straight and had to take deep breaths. haiz. Sometimes, even walking from my home entrance to the kitchen (HDB 4-rm flat horh...so u can imagine the distance), I'll get breathless already.
Missylan, we're in the same week...hahaha. My gal also in position already. So I often get kicked in the stomach. haha. Last night, I could feel her stretch and move. There's this lump (sometimes lumps) that formed on my belly, and it moved across the belly! So ticklish!! hahaha. Then I'll try to catch the lump...hahaha...
Missylan/agnes/etelle, I also have the same problem when wearing pants, skirts, panties. haha. 1 hand hold the wall, I still have a bit of cramps and I find that I can't bend forward enough to wear. Previously, I use the metal bedframe for support - rest my head on the frame as a balance point (draw all the curtains and come out of toilet to put on clothes) and then I'll have 2 free hands to help me. hahaha. So can imagine how funny that posture must look. Now, even that is a bit tough. So I just sit on the bed. But even then, it's a bit tough to bend forward. hahaha...cham.
Yup, me too. On one hand, can't wait for bb to come out. Yet on the other hand, I dun want her out! hahaha...coz I'm SO enjoying the pregnancy priviledges...

missyland,
Wahahah, are you kinky or what Anyway, that position suppose to encourage baby to move his/her heavier part (the backside) to rest against the front of your tummy.. So that means he/she will face your butt lor
Can just block out labour pain by sheer will power? Me scared scared so will definitely go for epidural the soonest it's allowed..
Estelle, like you, I need a cuppa to kick start the day..
But I restrict myself to one mug a day..
Agnes, me too! like the taste of kidkappo (don't know correct spelling or not) ! At one stage drank a bottle a week.. now scared coz my glucose test got aborted due to vomiting so must be extrememly careful about sugar intake...
*yawn* my day on mc at home goes like this,
walk a bit, laze a bit, daze a bit, stone a bit, surf a lot, play computer games a bit, check emails, post msgs, drink water, eat orange *yawn*... to think that I'm taking 3 weeks before EDD... don't know if I can take doing nothing at home or not..
Wahahah, are you kinky or what
Anyway, that position suppose to encourage baby to move his/her heavier part (the backside) to rest against the front of your tummy.. So that means he/she will face your butt lor
Can just block out labour pain by sheer will power? Me scared scared so will definitely go for epidural the soonest it's allowed..
Estelle, like you, I need a cuppa to kick start the day..

Yes I learnt abt the "on four" thingy during my trial yoga class with Mother and Child. But cant remember exactly if there are anymore other actions involved cos it was 2mths ago.
On babycot - Can anyone advised on where to get babycot? Should I get those which can be converted to playpen? My cousin just told me that she might not be able to lend me hers so I must quickly source for one now! Thanks in advance!

missylan,
hahahaha... u're so funny.. i didn't think about it until i read your posting.. hehe
phy,
ur day at home sounds a lot like mine when i stop work for a while too.. it can get very boring though..
yah.. i agree that the mind is powerful.. but thinking to myself if it is that powerful to expel all labour pain.. maybe if we keep saying to ourself ' it doesn't hurt' maybe it wouldn't be that painful..
alternatively.. can imagine the worst kind of pain and when it comes.. we'll be surprised that its not as bad as we thought it was..
aiyoh.. but me being a first time mum.. really dunno how it feels like.. my aunt lagi better.. i asked her what does labour pain feel like and she replied, ' u know its actually like a stomach ache (pauses then says quickly).. EXCEPT its a 100 times worst!'
i nearly fainted when she said the last part.. but in the end.. burst out laughing coz her description was so funny..
