(2011/07) July 2011

hihi.. just return to hotel after having a big feast with Japanese colleage who used to work in Singapore..



I have been wearing my maternity pants for quite a while.. anyway.. they can also adjust to non-preg size.. after I gave birth.. I also sometimes wear them if can match with clothings..



I opt out from glucose test from my gynae.. though she said urine test might not be able to detect preg-diabetes.. but i really don't like the past experience.. nearly make me throw up.. if throw up within 1 hour need to drink again.. so I opt out.. but it is my choice la..

 


emily.. the glucose test is not depends on how much you eat at that period of time..



they compare the before drink (with night fasting), immediate after drink and 1 hour after drank result to see how your glucose level change.. how much go into blood.. but not how much you already have in blood..



but if you throw up within an hour.. they will request you to take again..

 
Gals, I'm back frm gynae's appt... Today onli hear heartbeat, no scan... Abit sad cos i tot can c lil bunny wave wave again... Guess gynae dun wan to do too many scans...



Read many of u putting on weight, but I'm losing instead. I lost 1.4kg in a wk... Now lighter than pre-preg weight... N looks like high chance I can't go gathering liao cos I'm advised not to go out... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] will c how when e date draws near... Hope DH allows me to go...

 
reading n reading[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] so nice to hear updates on genders and 2nd tri...



I m going for 1st visit to new gynae tomorrow cuz the 1st one is abit far from my home. hope can see if gender can be predicted or not..

morning mummies...



for the past few days i have been having cramp at my lower left side of tummy.. esp in the morning...on and off... dunno izzit i walk too fast??



walking too fast will feel the pulling effect?

 
ladies,here's some tips to alleviate leg cramps.



1-

Increase your daily intake of both calcium and potassium. Be sure to eat and drink foods and beverages rich in these vitamins (such as milk, broccoli, bananas, and cheese). In some cases, your practitioner may also recommend an increase in iron. Foods rich in iron include green, leafy vegetables, particularly spinach and kale.



2-

Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes and try wearing support hose during the day. However, be conscious of fit and avoid leg wear that is too tight or restrictive. Also, attempt to alternate periods of rest (with your feet up) with periods of physical activity and avoid crossing your legs to increase blood flow.



3-

Prior to retiring for the night, stretch your legs thoroughly. Toe touches, gentle lunges, and foot flexes are appropriate techniques. Also, avoid lying on your back, since the weight of your body and the pressure of your enlarged uterus can slow the circulation in your legs, causing cramps.



4-

If you do experience a leg cramp, stretch the affected muscle or walk your way through the cramps. Straighten your leg, flex your foot, and pull your toes toward you. Try not to point your toe, as this will increase the tension in the muscle and further aggravate the cramp. Gentle masssage and local heat can be used for added relief once the immediate pain is reduced

 
feimei my hubby is e one finding e hb.. hehe so he cannot zzzz but u so cute.. find until he zzz



actualli these kinda device it's realli for fun only..



i m one person also v bad at lookin at scans .. i mus realli c until v obvious then i know tat's e head n stuff .. so my hubby alwaz say i hopeless in tat..



anyone goin for 3D scans? I did video of my 1st bb at 30 weeks e last time this time also mus do hor.. otherw like unfair.. any comments?

 
feimei> confirm girl!!! ok la even though i think the family will be disappointed but i not stopping at one so dont care so much abt wat they think liao.. Now can start shopping for my little princess.. She's 12.5 cm and weights 193g liao! so fast. No wonder everytime after I pee, I can feel my tummy like dropping down..



coopie> yes 8inch! and measured at the belly button area though.. If i wear yoga pants I look super obviously pregnant.. (I wearing them now)But yet nobody give seats to me in the bus/MRT!

Still have to hide and camouflage.. Sianzzzz



Modisch> my maternity pants also got the adjustable waist band.. but also very big and ugly even though I take the smallest size.. The butt and leg space is super big, only the tummy part is fitting.. I bought my leggings from cotton on.. 10 bucks and get the biggest size. Don't cover toes and very comfy..



Asked gynae regarding these yesterday:



Pineapple tarts: Dh ask one. Cos i was eating non stop and he got worried. Doc say just eat. No probs.



Backache: panadol and salon pas is fine. Uterus is expanding so expect more backaches in future.



Heartburn: see gynae and take pregnancy-safe antacid



Leg cramp: Gynae reply "neh! wat is husband for? Ask him massage la!" LOL



M/C: "one in 1000 babies will not make it.. for no reason. If everyday worry, worry abt go out kenna strike by lightning, cross the road let car bang, then every night scared until no need sleep liao ah? At this stage as long as no bleeding then don't worry leave the rest to fate..."



I sooo like my gynae's sense of humour haha

coopie > same.. i am not very old (in my mid 20s) and also cannot get used to being called auntie. Though i realise that, once married (regardless of age), people around you will start referring you as 'auntie' to their kids.

Sometimes, I have to psycho myself saying it is just a form of greeting at the end of the day.. Just like Mdm xxx or Mrs xxx. argh.



feimei > aiyo.. I am still wearing my normal pants with buckle. not yet on maternity bottoms..



the KFC porridge is very salty (for my tastebud). The longer you soak the chicken in your porridge, the saltier it gets.. No doubt is nice, but it makes me extremely thirsty after eating that..

 
Modisch - if u dye red hor.. Next time u wanna change colour .. Will end up turn pink.. It's very hard to over write red colour de.. I gave up after several trying.. And dye my hair jet black to cover the colour.. U ask ur hair stylist, I m sure they will know that red ischia hardest to cover in even you wanna change colour next time [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
