This policy is a rider... u need an investment plan or endowment plan for it to tag along... the maternity plan i paid one-time payment $430 if i didn't remember wrongly. But its the investment plan that's the monthly commitment depending how much u want to cover. After baby is born u need to inform your agent then this investment policy will be switched to baby's name.

Yes, LOl... avoiding dinner hours and morning bowel times. Previously I did inserts at 10am but found that the frequent going to washroom, cause some of the inserts to leak out of system. So, is inserts still needed for Tri 2 onwards?

On top of the maternity policy, i gotten the investment plan... so abt couple of hundreds/mth. Depends on ur the amount u want to cover... i tried to fit into my budget...
hi all-my hub has a high sperm dna defragmentation index of 32. i had 2 mcs in a row-one at 5 mths and one blighted ovum. now im also having blighted ovum. all conceived naturally. gynae told us to try until i get it right n suffer more mcs in trying or go for ivf with pgs overseas. anyone has a similar condition and has succeeded via ivf? looking for hope here. thanks much.

Aiyah! Hahaha Then just do morning before/after BM and then before/after dinner. No need excatly 12 hours - within 1 to 2 hours gap is OK. Don't forgo sleep because of that!! Important to have enoug h sleep
When baby is out, you can wake up at 5am as much as you like
Most doctors will stop after 1st tri.

Dear ladies, are you all taking sour plums to deal with the nauseating feeling? I was tempted to buy a pack but saw things like "sweeteners, liquorice..." in the ingredients and held back. Most of these are either from China and Taiwan, which I am apprehensive about food safety. Any alternatives to recommend?

Saw this from my search, "Yes you can have a neck and shoulder massage when you are pregnant. It is important that the therapist does not press down to hard into the levator scapulae muscle, as it can cause contractions. The levator is the muscle is on top of your shoulder mid way."

Counting down to a long weekends, ladies....

I m not sure abt head but I read b4 that some points on neck n feet will trigger contractions. And my therapist is also aware of it.
Agree! It works for me and mentos
Did not do much research but I read that it doesn't spin.. So my mum decided it's not worth it Cux it prob means that it won't b v clean. And another comment is that u must cut the washing powder by at least half Cux when they take the nn clothes out they can still feel that it's covered wif washing powder

Dear ladies, as I am still early in my journey, I didn't tell anyone. Feeling so isolated since the time I started on IVF. Been declining friends who wanted to meet up, to catch up. Though my bump isn't obvious, but I am quite conscious about it. How are you all keeping engaged?

BFF, when is your EDD? So far only hubby and I know. My only engagement is through the forum so far.

I think so too. But I m still looking ard for a smaller washing machine to wash bb clothes.. Till date, with my #1 being 3 yo, my mum still prefers to hand wash her clothes which I feel is very tedious for her. But we have since outsourced this function to my helper. But mum still thinks that helper sometimes don't wash as clean as her..
Even since I bfp, people in office can tell Cux I walk much slower.. And pple ask just luff it off, not replying to their question. I still meet with my friends. But when they realize that it's no alcohol/ sashimi days they guessed n will not ask till i announced it myself.. I believe close friends who know hat u r ttc will understand.. Give urself some breathing space. Happy mummy = happy baby..

Dont feel bad if you dont meet up for 1st tri with friends etc. After you announce when all is ready they will understand.
In the meanwhile, just keep happy and count down to end of 1st tri!!
Keep yourself occupied by checking out the baby stuff to buy ? Hehehee esp if it's your #1, you will discover a whole new world of shopping hahaha.
Have you joined the SMH MTB 2015 forum? Usually they are very active and eventually will hv a FB group that will see and support you through baby's first year plus as everyone will be going the same milestones together. Many wont join the FB group until pass 1st tri so lots of chatting on the forum groups usually.

U can keep it a secret if ur tummy is not so obvious haha I find it quite fun, bcoz I'm a plump size build n my tummy is not obvious n even I bump into my ex colleague she also can't tell I'm preg. N when my bb is out I announce in Facebook n a no of them are shock to know that I'm actually preg haha... So to me is quite fun actually lol... I hope my no 2 also can keep it that ways haha

@Best Fertility Friend don't worry it feels like tht initially. I kept to myself in first tri too mainly Curz I was in & out of hospital. But family & close friends helped to alleviate the sadness. I still felt lonely because I couldn't openly ask about a lot of pregnancy matters as my family said tht ivf is different so they dunno how to explain to me.
But once u hit second tri, ur body is almost similar to natural pregnancies & u can relax a bit more so tht helps.
For me, my organization is huge with 100 over principals. So the last few meetings a lot of them saw the bump & started asking & talking. Can't hide liao, especially if working. Even in my centre, many parents asked me if I'm preggy when i was still in first tri. I just said yes Curz I was walking slowly & bump could see slightly.
The amazing part was when the children went around announcing to everyone tht im pregnant & they tried to guess the gender! Hahaha... Such cute 6 year olds (the majority are girls so they insisted im having a girl!!)

I've this very sharp prolonged pain on the right for past one week. Gynae couldn't really pinpoint the exact cause till now after 3 visits. I'm surviving on Panadol now.
Any mommies here experienced fibroid degeneration or round ligament pain during pregnancy before? Cos these 2 seem to be most suspicious.

Thanks for sharing. Guess, going natural is good. I tried a lemon candy yesterday, abit like "super lemon sweet" and it makes me very uncomfortable.

Exactly what I am thinking. That is true. Takes a whole lot of optimism. Perhaps, its time for me, to get organised with leisure activities at home. I have been too bogged down with cooking and forcing myself to eat.
