December 2017 mummies

[dr.B]

Hi, my EDD 11/01/2018, but I choose an elective surgery by the end of Dec. Currently still examining which OG I'll choose for my final surgery, I visited 4 OGs at the moment. Since I'm quite familiar with the medical standard and safety, now my concern is more about aesthetic. Don't wanna leave an ugly scar on my tummy Lol.

Anyone planning to get HL to rest at home before delivery? If gynae doesnt issue HL, can we just walk in to hospital to request for HL?

I will request for it. Heard we can request from week37? Correct me if im wrong.
I think u hv to get frm ur gynae. He/she will give if requested. I see no why cannot cos we also need to rest!

Does anyone experiencing less kicking from the baby? Should I be worried..?

 

[rainbowbb]

Thanks! Cause I tried asking when i was in first tri as i was feeling terrible and my mc were all used up. My gynae told me he cant issue unless hospitalised. So i was thinking if i can get it from hospital instead before delivery.

I guess it also depends on individual gynae. i did took few days of HL cos my mc almost used up..

Hope u able to get it and have a good rest b4 bb arrive.

Hi I just joined today!

Feeling a bit scared cos last sat went for the glucose test. This sat an appt with my gynae.
Everytime I go for my gynae appt, she'll say that I gained weight too fast.
And I'm supposed to maintain at my current weight for another 2 mths which I think it's not possible honestly.

My edd's 3rd Dec!

 

[ilovewinter]

Hahaha! I have serious constipation even before when I was pregnant. But I never encounter blood stools before that's why quite alarming to me.

I had it quite often in the 2nd trim. TOO HEATY!!!
Now better already but sometimes when I eat heaty food again, no blood but shit damn painful. gotta angle. lol

 

[ilovewinter]

have anyone started buying baby stuff like baby cot etc? i am wondering if i should get baby cot or playpen

I bought most of the stuff at baby fairs already! Good deal must buy!
But haven't gotten confinement lady and the jamu massage. And thinking of hiring those part time cleaning service weekly.

 

[ilovewinter]

Hi! i am looking for a pre and post natal massage lady too!

new to this forum, my EDD is 29/12/17! and is there any whatsapp chatgroup for EDD Dec 2017 mums?

same I'm also looking. I'm quite skeptical after reading some of the 'recommendations' by new members on other threads.
Hoping to get one from agency that has facebook also so can check out the reviews.

Did anyone attend birthing class? Is it useful?

I'm currently attending the one by Dr Wong - Thomson Medical. She's really good. Every time after class I always feel that I learnt a lot. Though, I duno how useful it would be to me on the actual day cos I'm still the kancheong type. Keeping calm takes a lot of effort from me. lol

Hi sashanoh, I booked mine with agency. Initially wanted to book the CL that my friend used, but she wanted me to confirm within the same weekend that i contacted her, at that time i was not 12 weeks yet, hubby said wait till pregnancy is stable. During that time saw some bad reviews of last min CL disappearing, or was not up to expectations.After 12 weeks we asked the very common and popular CL agency, signed the next day. TBH the agency CL fee was a few hundred bucks cheaper than the freelance CL... and have free replacement, so we took the chance

If it's not too intruding, which agency did you book with?
Cos I haven't book yet. Actually I don't really want one so I didn't bother looking in the earlier stage, but my mum kept nagging. And everyone around me also.

Hi mummies!

Currently 29 weeks today. Just went for the glucose test this morning. My gynae say they will call me in 2-3days time. Any mummies did not pass their glucose test? *quite worried* didn't really watch my sugar intake all along.

Baby weight is about 1.35kg and gynae say its a lil overweight for 29 weeks as I only gain 2kg so far (currently 49.5kg).

He said that for my size if I were to choose natural birth the maximum I can take up to 3.2kg weigh of my baby. If baby weighs more than 3.2kg during labour then I have to go for c Sec.

Any mummies situation is the same as me?

Hi! I just wanna know is it necessary to have confinement nanny for the first month?

I'm actually having issues with having someone to take care of the baby. Family members are busy working. So the only choice I have right now is to hire maid.

But I'm afraid that the maid, might not know how to take care of the child. And I'm also not too sure if I have the energy to take care of the baby during the first month after giving birth. Any suggestions..?

Hi, is there any WhatsApp or facebook group for dec mummies? Thank u!

Other than taking care baby? Do you have anyone to prepare the herbal bath, red date tea, confinement meals & do housework for you?
Having a CL, she will guide you & teach your maid on how to take care of infant too.
I had both maid & CL during confinement in previous pregnancy, and I have zero worries during confinement mth cos CL will ensure all is well-taken care. This time it will be same arrangement too.
Nowadays maid doesn't arrived so fast unless transfer maid so you may need to start looking for one now...

Hope the above inputs helps

Hi mummies, currently in my 31 weeks. Feel very uncomfortable since yst night while lying down. I don't know how to explain the discomfort and very mild pain exactly. But it's around my upper tummy. Any mummies experience the same?
