hi all,
actually i just want a simple gown, but a bit pomg-pomg is ok la cos only wedding can wear such things.
i went to the thomson branch last week but have asked to go to the tanjong pagar one and they are still arranging for me.
Janf - actually i first went to the tanjong pagar one and it was their ppl there whom I was impressed with. but cos i wanted to think about it, i asked them if I could sign at the nearer outlet i.e thomson when i've decided. This was what i did. keep fingers crossed that i can find sth respectable at tanjong pagar... sigh..
huey - i doubt i will change BS la.. cos already paid almost full amount liaoz.. plus i also dun really have a design in mind (which is why i decided to go off-the-rack instead of custom-made). But yes for evening gown, i may end up having to find a good tailor to copy a design or sth... jialat...
and my PS is in mid-April!!! so fast (and this was latest we could push it) and i've not lost weight yet!!! ARGH....

Ya man, chrysallisph, u are just right la. Don't worry too much about losing weight. My BS designer told me that some of his clients lost weight till they looked tired and sallow on the AD. Not worth it lehh.... just maintain as you are now and that'll be the best way to go

last nite there was a documentary on 101 centurion hainanese man... Mr Chew.. he has 6 children, 12 grandchildren, 16 great-grand children...
he looks so fit, staying all alone cause he prefers independence.. his daughters take turns bringing him to medical check ups once a mth. he does everything himself - cook, wash. his daughters clean once a wk 4 him though...
i hope my grandparents can be the next centurion couple...

Petrina, how old are your grandparents? I was telling my mum the other day that I can call up Mediacorp and queue my granny up for another of this documentary. She is now 95 and can make it to the centenarian club soon. I just bought lunch for her (mum went hosp for review so I am on leave to granny sit today) and she amazed me by finishing up the whole pack of kuay chap!
loinky,
Sad to know abt the lost of ur love one... do take care.
contraction pain is like menses cramp but just that it is on and off at a regular interval. For me i had loose bowel b4 i gave birth... hehe oh ya.. i walk alot b4 i deliver... My grandma, mil oso keep asking me go walk walk hehe. Maybe thats y my delivery very fast.

loinky,
yap, it's like menses crap. just more intense. I had no symptoms before delivering...I only had diarrohea and vomitting, but I think that's more likely due to the food poisoning from eating at that Thai restaurant...(hubby also had diarrohea so, must be it lah). Otherwise, no symptoms at all. If not for that, I would have been walking ard and shopping manz...
Erm, whether baby is engaged or not...does not depend on dilation lah. Gynae told me that they will feel belly to check if baby is engaged or not. For my cousin, all 3 kids, engaged but she never dilated...until gynae had to give her medication to help dilate.
Yap, I walked a lot too...A LOT. hahaha. My delivery was fast (as in the pushing bit). I only took a looong time to dilate.
Petrina...wah, you walk so much in one day. haha. careful ah.

CSI / Loinky: i behave as though i not preggy... my other frens were commenting... my hb also say me.. i move n rearrange bedroom furniture all by myself...
in order to create bed space for bb.
yest again go shopping... i have to elevate my legs every nite to have normal looking legs in the daytime... hehe, after a hard day's labour work, my legs usually turn into pig's trotters...
i'm gonna rest in bed frm march onwards.. to prevent unnecessary contractions...

sherrie: Ha ha, tell him we go in March la. After CNY everyone should be more free and available. I still packing room, i think need to take leave and clean liao. Jia lat.
Huiz: We can carpool to Qian Hu.
The novena spa is more expensive but it is more central. Hehe... We go on a Sunday in March so your hubby can go too.
How about the rest of the ah mais? You gals interested to go for some fish spa?

you mean induce when you are at week 40 (your EDD and baby still no signs of coming out?)
my gynae also the same. Pro-inducing. Coz once it crosses week 40, there is a risk of baby coming under distress...coz placenta would have aged and not enough nutrients being passed on to baby. The risk is not high, but it's there lorh. So some gynaes probably dun want to take the chance.

ya lor.. baby still no signs of coming out.. so have to talk to her to move down..
wats the process of pro-inducing.. my gynae was saying that if still no dilation, he will insert pill from below 1-2 days after wk 40.. if still can't dilate dan c-sect.. but i hope not to c-sect =p

er, I meant pro-inducing as in gynae is not against inducing. Some pple prefer all natural etc.
Yap. For me, gynae burst waterbag, insert pill to help speed up dilation, gave drip to help trigger contractions (contractions will also help push baby down lower to engage).
Talk to your baby more...sayang baby more...heehee...then baby will listen to you. kekeke...
