How many kgs have you mummies gained now that we are halfway thru the pregnancy?

I've gained 7kg and starting to really feel like a whale. My feet are also feeling the pressure from the weight. Third trimester weight gain will be more rapid!! *gasp!*

u lose fast and put on fast so balance off lah lolz

lovexuan said:
Haha.. Maybe like @PTB7674 said they are shy when it comes to unfamiliar faces. My kids are not shy type. So they will greet, say thank you/bye bye and ask for things etc. But they can also go crazy playing because not shy at all. During those times I will wish they have more self restraint. But kids will be kids! When it comes to play, they only focus on play!!

yah the problem with kid is once they are not shy and become familiar they can be wild ..i have to constantly catch hold of my boy and my nephew so that they dun become monkey like other kids

Ya man. So easy to gain back!! Lol :p

Yes. Especially my girl! Cannot believe she is more wild than my boy. I need to bring her to playground to release all that energy very often. But I think your stern voice is good. Can make your boy quickly pause to listen. :D

No leh. Is it useful? I scare hot leh. The weather already quite warm these few days. If I wear at nite, the stocking will sure be on the floor by next morning!

huh? stocking leh...how to be on floor next morning ?
 
ciakes said:
Wow u lost so much weight! I think so far I've put on abt 5 kg..
Click to expand...

Yes! Very scary. Because totally cannot keep fluids and solids down at all during my first and early second trimester. But now so much better although the morning sickness is still there. I totally avoid whatever triggers the nausea. 5kg sounds good. Still can gain some more! :D

Hahaha.. How about your hubby? I dare not be too loud when I am in public places too. Later people thought I siao cha bor!

Midnight too hot so remove stockings? Happens to me when I wear socks to sleep. Even my subconscious self hates it. Lol
 
gammahedging said:
haha it isnt just me. it's the whole clan. *rolls eyes*

i am probably ngiao but i believe being shy isnt a good excuse (speaking from the perspective of someone who greets everybody in the family and as someone who hasnt had kids). that's what the parents are for - to ease the nervousness and to teach the child. Fine if u cant remember my name cos I see u only 1x - 2 x a yr but...at least a "Happy New Year Auntie" and a "Thank you!" can do, instead of snatching the AP and wanting to run off?? hmm.

btw re housewarming, i am not doing a housewarming either. not that many small kids but...it's just too much work .
Click to expand...

Yeah I agree with @PTB7674 and @lovexuan that some kids might be shy.. my boy is one of them lor.. super shy.. when i brought him to @cinderelly place.. he actually dont want to go in and started crying -_-! When he see strangers.. ask him say hello.. he wont say one.. but very gladly say bye bye when i ask him to..

Poor thing! Some people do get quite bad morning sickness in first tri..mine I still feel nauseous when brushing teeth despite changing a few diff toothpaste brands..

I've gained approx 3-4kg, depending what day/time I weigh myself.... Morning less... at night is food baby so weight gain usually more at night. Hhahaha.

gammahedging said:
ok but basically u do teach them to greet right...

my cousins ah.... aiyo. their kids dunno how to greet ??? best thing was when i gave out AP this yr during CNY, the 3 yr old boy can take the AP from me WITH 1 HAND and not say anything. I wanted to say 有爷生，没娘教 cos in front of his dad. but in the end all i did was to frown and raise an eye brow. i believe his dad saw it and asked "what must u say??"

not to mention..one of my cousins has a daughter who is in P1 this yr. Also dunno how to greet or even say a basic "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to the relatives.

and not just only greet the cousins (i.e. people like me...and my other cousins). even ppl like my uncles, aunties..also nv greet
Click to expand...

Imo, basic courtesy like receiving AP with 2 hands and saying thank you is a must, regardless of whether you are shy or not. With my younger cousins and cousin's kids I am quite strict, if they take with 1 hand, I will not let go, and say in front of them (and their parents),"what must you say..."

Usually they get the message. But I only do this with my side of the family....

But like @yingzz's son who is only 2 years old, then I will close one eye, cuz still very young, still need time to "train". Once they reach kindergarten, must at least be able to greet and have some manners....

With my hubby's side of the family, because I am not close to them, I usually will leave it to my hubby to give the AP... I don't think he is as strict as me though.... sometimes I ask him who is so-and-so whom he just gave the AP to, he can reply me "dunno... younger than me, so I give lor..."

Faints.

i think the clan is the most unique one ... it is the mothers / father exchange AP .. the parent will go around ask how many children u have and exchange the AP .. the kids all dunno go where liao it has become a ritual thing .. the true meaning behind giving AP is lost ... i guess once the elders all move onz... visiting will be restricted to immediate family ... no need go clan visiting liao

Mine is hyperemesis gravidarum. A rare kind of severe morning sickness. I had it for my #2 and lost 5kg too but this time it's worse than before. Same here! Brushing teeth, showering, perfume or bad breath from some people, the smell of neighbours' cooking, pictures of food that triggers my nausea etc all can make me puke immediately. I have not eaten at a food court, coffee shop or hawker centre ever since it started.

Yup, we are entering third trimester soon. ALMOST THERE!!! Let's all jiayou... :)

haha u are nice to teach. i'd prolly just 唱衰.
imagine if i teach my LO to greet properly and to really talk , then of course he / she will be the apple of the elder's eyes (provided he / she is well behaved too ^^. it's just like in the workplace..there are some people who can talk so well , so savvy, and they are well-liked by all

I agree that the true meaning has been lost. We see most of these people once a year and honestly I don't even know who some of them are. It's the elders that want us to be there. They give AP to my kids but they don't even know their names or whose kids are those. My kids will come to me with the APs and I must track back and get my kids to go back and greet again according to the hokkien terms after checking with my grandma. Much as we would like to have a close knit extended family, but if nobody put in the effort to maintain in contact also tough. Even inviting my immediate family to my baby's full month or birthday parties also not easy. Majority don't turn up. They are not genuinely happy for me I feel. More like wah, you give birth to #3 so you can collect more APs is it kind of mentality. So I am very envious of those who can maintain such good relationships with immediate and extended family!
 
Morn i went market to buy something, not sure isit due to weather, i almost black out. Sudd feel so stuffy short breath. Anyone ever have that?

That's because I don't have the luxury to become hospitalised like her. Haha.. I told my gynae it's impossible. My kid(s) needed me. I didn't have alternative caregivers for them. So don't admit me to the hospital!! Because when I had it for #2, I was so badly dehydrated I did not pee and poo at all for two weeks. He wanted to put me on drip but I agreed to force sips of water onto myself instead. For #3 I sorta expected it so I just ate despite the gagging, and this eat and puke act seemed to keep me hydrated. I was only afraid I would become bulimic. Thankfully things have improved at this stage and we are almost there!! :p

I also feel so sian every year when I go to this distant distant relative's house! Thinking if I can use baby as an excuse and skip next year. Very boring to sit there when nobody even talks. Lol!!

No medicine to cure it is the worse part. I used to tell hubby I felt like 生不如死. Nothing can stop it at all. Some mummies fall into depression so have to abort to save the mummy's sanity. I had my kids who kept me going during the worst stage. I cried to them everyday, I told them how terrible and suffering I felt, they would hug and kiss and assure me it's ok and even became more independant as a result. I was still breastfeeding #2 during that time and it made me felt like I was still contributing. Else I was bedridden the entire day with a pail next to me. They are my motivation every single day!

It sends a shiver down my spine to recall those helpless days. The worst is over!!!
