@queeensg u prob can get calcium carbonate from pharmacy which is pure calcium content in it of 625mg. My kkh doc prescribe for me. But shd b able to find from guardian as tis is supplement need not doc approval to get it. U can chk w the pharmacist to help u out if u not sure.
@kopibeanie try to cut down on carbohydrate intake take more protein n prob switch to whole meal prob it helps. My fren was diagnose with GD but she try to control with food intake. Thk our preggy makes us eat more unhealthy prob our baby wan to enjoy sinful food too.
@kopibeanie I realised most of my friends who got GD when they r expecting #2. I believe ur gynae will take care of u. Don't worry ya..
I paranoid today. . Bb din move much today. . Should I be concerned?
I'm asked to take the GTT test during the next visit coz bb's abdomen on the big side. really worried I'll be diagnosed with GD.
anyone also asked to take the test? btw, I didn't have to take it when preg with #1. muz be too much pizza, mcdonalds & maggi mee this time round. must start controlling diet & exercise more now. sigh....
I'm taking Usana calcium supplement which has daily dosage of 800 mg calcium. This is really good cos no constipation problem and has active vit D which our body need to absorb the calcium. PM me if you need more info. I can send you the price n details of product content.@shirleyten - Haha right..... It will be fine! Not many brands I don't think will have that many people.
Can I check what calcium supplement you ladies are taking? Brand and content? I'm already on prenatal vitamins and am thinking of having a calcium supplement as I tend to forget to drink milk. But those in the market seem to add other vitamins and I can't seem to find a supplement that only has calcium citrate.
Thanks!
My fren high blood glucose (not GD yet) but she persevered with a strict diet of less carbo, more whole grains (eg brown rice, vege) and successfully brought down sugar level. She even slimmed down and looked better. I think for our own sake and bb must try to eat healthier k.
I limit fast food to once a week, and try to cook brown rice if possible. If i cheat during lunch, then I try to eat healthier at dinner and also next day to compensate. My gynae asked me that day why we need so much sugar/glucose (eg white rice, white bread, carbo etc)...cos sugar can cause a lot of unwanted side effects. We all take in a lot of sugar unwittingly actually without our knowledge, so must try to cut down sugar intake.
yep!! muz cut down on carbo & sugars!! jiayou!!
somehow juz crave more for carbo, sweet stuff, spicy stuff, strong flavored stuff & fast food during pregnancy. hate plain stuff like porridge & vege. dunno y also. wish my taste buds can be more cooperative.
Thanks all! Think she was tired yesterday and after several attempts to make her more active she still like do.mild mild kicks.. till I go and take 2 slip of coke, magic works.. lol.. and she goes on and off for an hour at 10pm. Thanks god she did that.. otherwise I would have gone gyane today just to see her..
I read somewhere in a TCM book that it might be because we have poorer 脾 (spleen) functionality during pregnancy as immune system is weakened, so our taste buds crave for strong flavoured food to whet appetite, but actually the body still prefers to have nutritious more natural tasting food. So it's a battle btw the mouth and what is good for the body ha ha. I sometimes crave a lot for Mac, but force myself to walk away as quota reached for the week, and guai guai went to eat grilled salmon with less rice. And ur body will feel much better than if you eat those strong flavoured stuff...maybe you can try cut down the portion first .
Jia you, you can do it one!

@J.Lau - I only started feeling harder flutters when I was in week 20. Its like thumps in your stomach.. Rolling about here and there.
Sometimes I disturb baby.. When I feel some parts of my tumtum harder (baby's there), I will press the spot or put my hand over with some pressure to better feel the moving/kicking.
Lying down is easier to spot, I feel!
Am at 23 weeks now. Baby is kicking and elbowing and shifting around. Can't miss it. Especially when baby moves left to right... probably to find a more comfortable position.. don't worry eventually every few minutes can feel it though there may be times when movements are minimalHey mummies, just wondering when u all say you can feel the baby kicking and moving, how does it feels like?
Unfortunately, I still can't tell...
When I went for my detail scan, the sonographer was telling me that my baby is only 320g which is quite small and she said that there are plenty of room inside my womb.
However at times, I can't help but being paranoid as to whether is my baby alive.
Going for detailed scan tomorrow, pray that everything goes well.
I can't help having Prof Ananda's words lingering in my head 'even if harmony test turns out well for you, it is redundant in your case.'
Praying for healing everyday, that my baby will be a testament of God's healing and a child with a heart for God.
I seek prayers from all mommies if you have a little moment for my baby as well, thank you so much!
@J.Lau I've gained 7kg so far. Haha. Anyway I felt my little beanie kick last night. I was quite unsure at first. Then she kicked a few more times. Amazing feeling!
went to him after my oscar results didn't turn out well. That was a 12w detailed scan. He spotted 5 soft markers relating to heart and shirt nasal bone.Waiwish, why did Prof Ananda say that if u don't mind?
@J.Lau - but when i went for my detail scan last week, sonographer say my bb weighs 343g, which i feel is small. so i ask the sonographer if this weight is acceptable n she say yes leh..hmm..dun really feel assuring for me though..will ask gynae during nxt visit..dun worry, think bb just not much movement. doesnt mean anything on the bad side ya!When I went for my detail scan, the sonographer was telling me that my baby is only 320g which is quite small and she said that there are plenty of room inside my womb.

perhaps during nxt appt, u can ask doc how come u dun feel bb doing karate kick inside u yet? but i guess sometimes it may be their movement are not that noticeable...? dun worry too much..talk to bb more..I just can't wait to visit my gynae 2nd week of May to see she is alright...

In any case, I take heart that every scan we had at my gynae shows positive signs and my 20w detailed scan went well too. Will continue healing prayers and trust in The Lord.
