jan 2010 mommies :))

Paddu Oh no you have cold. Take care
I asked my nutritionist she told me to try few brands cliff, Quaker chewy granola bars, special K protein bar,Soy joy bar, power crunch average 1.3 oz. The hard part about GD is remembering to read the nutritional value of everything I eat .
Good that you got H1N1 shot .

Dear Ladies,

Am able to see parts of Rithik very well. I get to touch a hard part which being his head. Once DH touched on one spot and he found LO's arms or legs and quickly Rithik moved that around.. When we touch how kool LO responds you know.. Even am having low movements since 2 days and told DH but he was able to feel movements when he touched my belly so I left it..

Coming tue I have appointment with Anita Chait and planning to ask her regarding my lower abs pain.. Also, ladies am having severe itching on sides of my vaginal areas.. Need to ask about this also..

Deepali - Teddy ah? I love teddies... Still am having a bear gifted by my DH from India to USA before wedding for my 1st bday in USA... Regarding, Breast cream is essential when feeding.. I think we need to wash breasts and apply that cream and then only need to feed LO..

Then medula pump how much in india?? here it is $350(motherhood) and other shops its $300 seems.. I think its very very useful for working women.. if i work after delivery will buy else planning to skip it..

Shwetha - Even I dont know about this post delivery panties.. am planning to use what I have.. Hospitals will provide us some panties na?

Paddu - Co-sleeping not possible here.. And after he grows big we are planning to train him sleep in his own room.. We feel that to a certain age only they can sleep with parents and since he is a boy we need to be cautious in making him sleep in his own room next to us or with in-laws if he prefers.. it depends from couple to couple I feel..

between, who is going to deliver 1st baby in our Jan club??? just eager to know..
Deepali - are you the 1st one? since you were asked to be cautious >dec 15th itself..

GYN is telling that for me 36w scan will tell all details..

Shwethag - yes thats really cute of LO.You also will experience after few weeks
Panties as I had read on IL that we need to stock due to bleeding we have post pregnancy.So I have just stocked in case more are needed.Here I dont think hospitals provide so we have to get it.

paddu - Dont be jealous.Actually as we get nearer we get more and more tensed and anxious.But you are already experienced so things must be different for you Yes but really eager to see LO.My husband wants me to deliver as soon as I complete full term Anyways baby will come when it has to come

Anitha - I have my scan on Tue or Wed mebbe.Will come to know the details then.Will keep you all updated

Today am leaving for in-laws place for Seemantham.And on monday will go to mom's place.
Finally last working day today.Such a relief

Take care gals...

just remembered a thing..
is anyone planning for going for cord blood banking?
We consulted our GYN and she said its really useful.
But neither my side family or DH's side family has any major disease history.
So just confused how useful it would be.
As its one time opportunity we dont want to repent later.
Has anyone thought about it?pros n cons?

Deepali - Last working day I know how relief it will be like.. Being preganant and working similar to other people in office and satisfying needs and all is too much and that too with pains & problems around us..
Now itself I feel like carrying a big truck along with me.. My wt is increasing all of sudden else its same.. I think baby wt also will increase per week..

Regarding, core blood banking even am not sure how important it is.. But here they are charging $250 if we need that.. Mostly we wont get it i think..

Regarding, panties.. did u get xl sizes or any special panties?? we will be using whisper or pads also right along with panties.. so am not sure why we need more of them...

Even i want to deliver kid as soon as I complete my full term .. Am sure boys will come out early than girls.. will see how this logic works..

Which week scan is that?? Am also eagerly waiting for my scan in 36w

Anitha how do you know it is LO's hands or legs I can never guess. Sometimes my tummy gets hard in certain places I guess that is the head.

Regarding LO movements I am still confused when am I supposed to panic for example one day the movements are very low and just when I think of calling doctor the next day there is increased activity .
Today the funny part was just as my hubby entered the room he was taking Lo started kicking I told him he touched my tummy asked for a high five and guess what he got a kick he was jumping around saying LO loves him it was so hilarious .

Askdee even I was thinking of just stocking up on things just that I might not be able to latter on. Last day of working that must be an awesome feeling .
Hey Seemantham that is nice enjoy eat lots of good foods.

About cord blood I did not know they did that in India also.How much does it cost there. We are thinking about saving but it is very costly around $1500 to $2000 then there is yearly fee also. In both of our families also no body has any major disease history but my hubby just wants to be careful. Also I heard if you save for one baby it should help the second baby also.

Anitha weight normally increases a lot in the last tri because baby puts on weight that time.

Shwetha - Today after getting home I removed my socks and was shocked to see my legs.. it was swollen like a big baloon you know
Also, heart burns are increasing day by day... Feel very lousy..

Regarding , movements feeling very less since 2days.. But at times baby shakes his arms, legs and head here and there so am fine

HI Mommies,


how was the weekend??. Hope everybody will start shopping by this weekend. i am too excited for this. And will finalize my list asap.
my update:
i had doc appointment on friday and he asked me to take H1N1 flu shot and these are available on hospital too but we have decided not to take this. As this shot has not been tested on pregnant ladies so i am not having good feeling about it. Also tom is my scan . wow.. will see my LO again.

Anitha How is your leg today. Did you try the box I mean keeping your leg in elevated level. I don't know exactly how but my swelling went down I had reduced my salt intake,drank lots of water (practically was in restroom every 15 mns ), kept my leg on pillow.

Akumar wow shopping nice, did you check the black friday sale I was hoping to buy car seat and stroller but there is no sale on that . Did you find any? Which week scan is this.
