Pelvic Pain

Previously I had bad pelvic injury due to work.. and it took me a great deal of time to recover.. onn off th epains come back.. so when I was in my 20 odd weeks.. I had the same pain.. I dismissed it as an old injury...
Seems like I was wrong... It wasnt.. More like its due to the weight of HBB this time round...
Prob due to past hisotry there fore with a bit more weight.. My body or rather my pelvic begin to feel the strain...

Anyway I had actualy nt put much tots or worry bout the pain .. no complain either.. since my previous pain was far much worse than this.. Just that I will have problem walking.. getting off bed/chair.. putting on my pants n such... and turning myself on bed...

Last week after constant nudging from Big Mac I went back for my foot reflex again.. The nxt day while I was in bed.. I thought I could manoeuvre easily..weird.. I even jump off the bed to 'test' my pain... NO PAIN!
Surprised.. I told Big Mac bout it... and he attributted the recovery to the massage i did the day before... The recovery did not last long thou... aft 3 days.. By chance.. I think I strain my pelvic again.. no thanx to Big Mac! and my pain was back...

Today I had another round of foot reflex.. and oh well.. I realised... the pain is gone again! how cool!??!!?!

I hope the recovery will last longer this time round thou....

1 more day before Big Mc is back... Little HBB misses papa!!

Turn Turn Turn

Ever since the check up knowing my dear little girl is facing the right side.. I been 'nagging' at her to turn haha... Constantly doing my pelvic turn to make sure she find her way to engagement too.

Funnily.. this morning when I woke up... I notice I can feel her movement on my left as well... ahh did she turn? haaa I dunno.. I hope so!
I have to keep giving praise to the little one.. so that she will be encouraged to turn better n get engaged... surely she understand my praise n encouragement hehe

And today I do feel that tummy seems much diff.. a diff feel.. but Im not sure what...

With Big MAc away on his cruise again till friday.. we r left alone at home again once more.
I am beginning to pack our hospital bag.. packing little girl's clothes meant for her discharge.. I cant decide which to bring.. as I was afraid the rompers will hurt her little umbrilical cord.. and i dun hav pretty 2 pcs clothing for her for the moment.. and obvously Im gg to buy no more as she have far more than enuff clothes!

Today there is a confirm case of H1N1 in SG.... Quite worried that orange alert will come on... if that happens I heard Big Mac might not be able to stay with me in hospital. On top of that onli 1 nominated visitor is allowed. If that realy happened.. I told Big Mac Im gg to down grade to 4 bedder as no point having the 1 bedder.. after all it will means 4 bedder have lesser visitor n I dun have to be afraid of disturbance rite? And save munny! Pros n cons... I duno... haiz.. this flu thgy is getting on our nerves!

I wish for little girl to be obedient... and get engaged soon... she is free to come out after next tuesday... aft my maternity photo shoot haha

Mummy cant wait to see u!! I bet papa too!!!! We Love you!!

9th Gynae Visit @ week 35

Today is the 9th visit!!
Prof tee assured me the moment I sat down.. that if HBB wants to come out now.. she is going to be safe.. I was like Duhz... now? isnt it a bit too early? haha.. I always tot at least 37 weeks.. then again gotto trust the expert rite? since he is quite a pro and confident doctor.. but still.. nono.. HBB dun come 1st.. cos mama yet to take maternity shoots hehee... my shoots are nxt tues.. and so.... pls pop after that hee

Did the usual scan... head not engaged yet.. still head down.. she is facing the right side..meaning she is sleeping on her left.. I think she been in such position for very long.. at least few weeks... cos i always feel her limbs on my right hehe.. she is getting cosy inside I bet...

Weighing about 2.3kg now... she gain about 500g for the past 3 weeks... she's of average growth I guess.. . thous Big mac say she is small! oh well... she just a baby ok.. and we dun need her to be overly big inc ase mama here have a hard time pushing her out hehe.. so long as she is healthy!!!
Also i guess the average weight gain is prob due to my not so good appetite... but I am trying to eat nutritious food to beef her up a mere mere bit...
at least I know.. safe to eat durian now haha

Oh yes... I weight 61.1 kg now.. gain 1.6kg since 3 weeks ago.. I think I gained more tis 3 weeks as compared to the previous... like wat the others say... we bloom fast during the last few weeks...

Now.. I am trying hard to get HBB to get engaged... I wonder when it will be... many ??? now as to when she will wan to come out n etc... I better pack all my thing n settle everything soon.... time bomb ticking!!

8th Gynae Visit @ week 32

Time flies... or is it becos of the shorter time frame for the nxt gynae visit since its onli 3 weeks apart now.. We gotto see HBB again.

This time around.. we have to go thru thermal scan.. wear a mask while waiting for my turn to see the gynae.. no thanx to the Swine flu... I think I prob couldnt breathe at 1 point of time that I gotto put down the mask and gasp for air LOL

I was kind of late for the appt but well din wait for long anyway... phew...

The usual scan... the usual stuff... somethg unusal was... Dr tee showed us something 'intresting' LOL
U see.. he barely talk anything extra during most of our visit! and for him to say there is something interesting during the scan... it must be interesting right? haha
Oh yes.. he said HBB is playing with her toes!! He showed us the toes n fingers... How cute! Its of cos interesting for mi lar... but I duno for a gynae like him who see dozens of patients every day how interesting can it be.. but of cos if he said so.. I would think he find it cute n interesting hehe
But he din seems to hav printed the scan for mi tis time ard! Grrrrrr.... I forgot too.. haa
aiya.. too excited bout the toes lor!

Anyway.. Hbb is now about 1.8kg.. so she gained about 400 g since 3 weeks ago. Not alot but not too little either.. Gynae said she is of average weight.. and I asked bout birth weight... he mentioned shld b average between 2.9 to 3.2kg... oh well.. thats my targetted weight... YIPEE!
Hbb already headed downwards but not engaged yet.. I was trying very hard for past few nite using torch light to shine on her... to lead her the way to the 'exit' LOL... wondered was it bcos of what I done that make her head down cos aft doing it for a few days.. I could feel the difference of her position of her legs too.... how cool.. now I started doing the other exercise to make her head get engaged... so I try to do it while I am shamppoing my hair haha

I now weight 59.5kg.. up from 58.1kg 3 weeks ago.. so meaning I gained about 1. 4kg.. of which.. 400 g went to HBB... not too bad huh? hehe...

Still gg to have my nxt visit in 3 weeks .. not fornintely leh... I wonder if its cos of the swine flu or is it bcos the gynae is too busy to see mi often.. then again either way.. save some money la haha...

Hbb is happily kicking away now while I blog... she is 1 active girl. I hope she will be a happy little baby when she is born hehe.. I am looking forward to her arrival.. I want to hug her carry her kiss her n smell her feet!!!! Im sure Big Mac is looking forward to her arrival too!!!

Colostrum

Its said that milk duct starts forming the moment we get preggy... and by 3rd trimester.. we shld have some colostrum ready for the litttle ones...

Colostrum is the first "milk", also known as liquid gold.. that the breasts produce as a precursor to breast milk. Your breasts have been growing and developing throughout your pregnancy and are now producing this rich, high-protein pre-milk, ready for when your baby is born. Colostrum is actually produced in the breast from about 16 weeks and is a thick, creamy or yellow substance.

while size doesnt matters as said in the books n website... I would not have expect myself to have colostrum ready at this point of time..
but oh well I was wrong...
somewhere last week I think there was some slight droplets of milky transparent liquid fr the nipples... and i guess thats colostrum right? Quite amazing since Serene mentioned she din have a single drop in sight... cool cool... HBB have somethg to drink immediately aft she is born!!

Meanwhile I notice HBb haven been moving much for the past 2 days... she does move but not much anymore.. .suspect she is getting bigger.. no space for action pack moves liao hehe..
And for myself.. past 2 days i feel more tired too... guess the weight is weighing me down manz...

Seeing HBB on monday again.. guess its gg to be a long process of taking temp n etc due to the swine flu.. sigh...

Hospital r also limiting 1 visitor per patient.. and so if it gets on so for the nxt 2 mth.. I will be more or less affected... it could b a gd thg... so at least i dun get unwelcome visitor hehe.. more rest n enjoy the single bedder luxury thr?? LOL
