Can we request for 1/2weeks HL?

Is it possible to request for 1/2weeks HL due to swollen feet & having a hard time to getting up on your own? I struggle to walk to as i feel sharp /cramps between my leg.. #pregnancy #3rdtrimester

All of my mummy friends didnt gotten any HL from their gynae nearing to their EDD. Also they said theres no reason for gynae to gv them HL when they had no complications etc. What they did is they plan with our supervisor in advance and took a 1-2weeks AL to rest and be prepared at home. Some also took their NoPay leave. However, it is a different story from my brother & sister in law. They scolded the doctor and demand for his wife to be given a HL. But my sister in law had no complications, its just the normal symtomps every preg women will feel. They teach me and husband to do the same ? which we wont ! We believed Doctor knows their job. And it is not fair for the Dr to gv HL to them and not to other mummies who are also experiencing the same symtomps like her.

Routine Gynae check up stop at 36 week?

Hi moms, Would like to know how often you guys go for Gynae check up for 3rd trimester? Was having check up once every 4 weeks at KKH. Week 36 was my last check up and was being told that everything is fine. Then my Gynae asked me if nothing don’t need to come back anymore. Until my scheduled cesarean date (week 39) Is this normal? I thought after week 36 will be more crucial and need to visit more often? How do I know if the amniotic fluid (the water inside) will suddenly decrease? Or umbilical cord will be twisted / round neck ?? #37weekNow #3rdtrimester #lastTrimester #checkupfrequency #kkh

Hi dear, Did you probe and ask further? Sometimes it’s good for us to ask the questions we need to ask so that the doctor knows what we’re thinking and feeling about what’s been told to us. Without the questions, they might think we’re okay with everything when really what they’ve done is added a level of anxiety that’s not good for baby.
