How are you feeling today?
Mine does not feel like menses cramp, mine is the kind of pain from the inside similar to when i sprain my ankle... not those "pulling" kind of pain like menses.. this sat im going to ask my gynae when i see her liao. Sometimes the pain gets so painful that i cant stand or change my pants.
my pain is at my lower back!! the pain is killing me!! can't even get out of bed this morn!!
tried yoga poses, stretching, hb massage, etc all not helping. aquafitness helps a little, but the pain juz comes back after that.
my gynae juz ask me change to a better shoes, sleep on side, don't stand/walk too much, etc etc. no muscle cream, no salonplus, no ru yi oil, etc etc. not exactly very helpful too.
I desperately need help!! thinking of trying prenatal chiro/massage. anyone tried prenatal chiro before? or got any good remedy?
I always arrange the regular gynae checkup on Sat to save on my mc and leave. Because I'm diabetic I'm seeing also the endocrinologist at KKH but they don't operate on weekends, one month one day see endocrinologist and some days for dietitian for my diabetic control, not much AL left. Plus those half days for blood tests & CVS stuff. Now only 4 months and I have used up half of my MC already. Haha.
I was just thinking of that this morning! Was battling through a super crowded train to work and trying to protect my poor belly from being crushed. Maybe should get an iron cast belly shield.I think the government should implement some form of pregnancy leave entitlement for mommies to rest! It's so tiring during these 10 months and considering AL entitlement are pathetic, it's hard to have any AL balance after having to go for all those checks at hospital during office hours .... Bleah !!

hahha.. fabulous idea. except I think SMRT doesn't allow durian in the train!
Totally agree.. Esp when our bump is still small, people can't really tell we are pregnant.. They don't really give way or give up their seats for us.. Maybe we should have a pregnant women only cabin.. =P
My colleague tummy is already quite big at 5m plus but still no one really give seat to her... Some are staring at your tummy and then suddenly they fall asleep - mostly are like that ...

haha... yeah... maybe we can just tell them to give the sits up if u really need the sits... if u let me know u need the sits I will sure give up!
whaha... must show tis post to all our husband! haha...
When I am taking circle line from promenade, all just pretend. Some indian jokers (boys) still can joke abt it openly, sitting on the "special seat".
But some times the colleagues in the workplace will gossip say wah this staff take so many mc etc and best if there's another preggy woman in the office they will tend to compare why the other no need yet I need, forgetting that diabetes itself needs regular checks to ensure sugar level safe for baby ... And mc capped at 14 days, mine if exceed will become unpaid leave liao...
Later they challenge you say you pregnant meh. I kena once from an aunty requesting me to give up my seat to her...haha... yeah... maybe we can just tell them to give the sits up if u really need the sits... if u let me know u need the sits I will sure give up!
Gynae I go Saturday so no need mc.But mc also used very fast - CVS took me 3 days, diabetes plus those blood tests 4 days ... Cause blood test no mc given ... Half of the 14 days gone
Very sad hor... There's once I was on a rather crowded train but luckily I got a seat (not priority). Then 1 old uncle boarded the train, can see he is a bit weak and needed the seat.. The person beside me is an old auntie and the other is a youngster plug in ear phones and sleeping.. Opposite all young and able... Nobody gave up their seat.. I was still not feeling that sick and tired.. In the end I gave up my seat to the old Uncle.. So sad.. pregnant woman had to gave up seat to old uncle because nobody cares..
Yeah I encountered the same thing but on a priority seat.
I told my colleagues about it, they said I should sit down and start rubbing my belly..
There was once when I was on feeder bus and a few old ladies boarded the bus. Obe of them couldnt get a seat &kept staring at me. I wasn't sure if they were talking about me & being paranoid, I just said:"sorry its not that I dun want to give up my seat for them, I am pregnant and cannot stand for too long." The auntie beside me said:"no one talking about you."Ya trains in Bishan is packed like sardines.. Even when I'm taking circle line. Our poor bellies have to go through all the squeezing and stand throughout..
Just last week, I was sitting at priority seat, a lady gave me dirty stare..
I told the very day I pass my probation in Dec last year. When is your probation ending? If your job is desk bound and u dun need them to actually know about the pregnancy u can just wait til probation ends if it's ending soon ba. Me doing FM work so I need to inform cause some site work I can't do
My probation will end in May.. which by then I'll be abt 23-24 weeks.. I do alot of stand up classroom training but not really physically exhausting. Is quite a old fashion chinese company. . Hopefully they are more accepting of pregnant women

If I'm not wrong MOM has protection over pregnant woman 6 months before and 3 months after deliver... By then belly will be obvious, maybe you can consider saying about now ba... Might be better to say before they find out themselves ... Sometimes good to say so that colleagues (hopefully) could understand.
Hi Leanne, I'm experiencing the same thing as you. I'm 2 weeks into 2nd trim and I feel much more tired than 1st trim. Basically I've not had a night where I can sleep throughout. Sure wake up at 3+ am to pee and can't sleep after that. So irritating as the next time I'm so tired at work
When is your genetic scan? You can do harmony test instead of amnio if you hv fear of the miscarriage risk like I do. I've heard some soft markers will resolve itself as pregnancy progresses. It's really the 20w detailed scan that would be more conclusive.
Are you keen on the amnio? Actually the risk for amnio or cvs is not exactly high... 1:300.. when my oscar result turn out high risk, i decided on the diagnoistic test without much hestitation. because i will know i get the answer i need and its 100% accuracy. In fact i opt for the earlier and more painful test as i dont want to wait ... i just wanted a 100% black or white answer...
