Cranky, think 2nd trimester is often worrisome when bb movements are not obvious. But as jascmy said, we can't do anything bout it. Pray hard that our little ones wil be more lively n let us feel them more..
Boy/girl
Any gender also can as long as they are healthy. But I like to ask pple to guess n see if their predictions r true. So far, everyone predicted mine to be gal cos I look more radiant this time round.. As long as the bb grows, gal I also want.. Ha......

With plant, cranky n myself, think we three shd feel better cos we r not alone.. Ha....
Jascmy, I can't imagine u can eat those for lunch. I can only eat a bit of rice and veg then I will not feel hungry until 7+. U can do the test on me too since I m not eating a lot ...My gynae knows the gender... I told her not to tell me until 24 sept when my hubby goes with me for check up
As this is my first child I also dun know how to feel bb's movement. Can u ladies tell me how to feel?

Catherine, I guess your bb is gal. Hehee... cos u can't eat much. Scary hor, #1 I put on 30kg leh. Praying hard I won't put on that much this time. But looks like not possible.
Tummy shape, ya not so true for me too. Cos my tummy for #1 also round and my face very radiant, so most ppl guess gal incl my Mum. This time everyone guess is boy cos my symptom 99% same as #1.

Jascmy, thx I told my gynae I sense it's a gal she ask y so I told e logic my knee specialist taught me. my knee specialist said if from the back of a woman, u can't tell if she is pregnant then it's boy. Reason is gal is more water retention and stomach goes wider. My gynae say not true... If it's a gal my hubby win and I save lots of $!!!! I shall tell u on 24th if it's true
Chill quek if I m u, I juz go. U can't go once baby is born!

chill quek, yes I will go. Y can't go leh. When bb is out, u can't go anywhere liao.
catherine, not true for me. For my #1, my tummy and buttock becomes very wide leh. Lots of water retention and whole leg like elephant leg. From behind definably will knw I'm a pregnant lady. Even when I'm 3mths pregnant, my hubby's relative can tell I'm preggie cos she say my buttock very big from behind. #1 is a boy. Waiting for ur gd news. As for me, will only get confirmed ans on 10 Oct.

Catherine> To feel baby's movement so early u must be very still and preferaby lying down.. i've read that the best time is about 9-12 at night? for me, i usually rest my hands on my lower tummy when i'm watching tv after dinner.. sometimes during commercial i'll do slow and deep breathing and a few times i've felt some movements (i think!). =) the position to feel for is maybe about 4-5cm below your belly button. can be on the left or right side.
Chilli> I think you shld check with your gynae? By end sep bb should be able to hear external sounds, so exposure to extremely loud noises may be disturbing or harmful for him/her. Better to play safe than to risk bb's hearing for the rest of their life right?

babyfaery> depends on your bb's schedule for that day. nothing to worry about! lol. i have seen bb somersaulting.. and also seen bb sleeping soundly on her back.
if u wan to see bb move, u can try to drink something sweet abt half an hour to one hour before your scan. it's supposed to make them more active. or tell your doc to wake the bb up! they know how to do it!
Babyfaery, I hardly see my #1 moved during all scans. But my #2 is really active. Moved a lot during scan. kicking and waving non-stop. Can even change position from laying face down to turning around right infront of our eyes. Worried that #2 will be very naughty when out.

Wow jascmy, 30kg? Wow.. Did u manage to lose most of it?
Babyfaery, mine moved when doing scanning. Maybe ur scanning time is ur bb's nap time.
Chili, when I had #1, the loudest noise I exposed bb to was the sound of shuffling of mj tiles. Not even movies, cos I scare too loud for bb. If u seeing gynea these couple of weeks, ask gynea to be sure.. Cos F1 really loud......

envy you all ms stop. this morning still ms.
Noise: for my 1st pregnancy no noise at home. with my no 2, my son will talk loudly to my belly button to ask bb to come out play with him. sometimes he also kiss my tummy too say sayang bb. house tv also turn on v loud so bb come out sure can adapt very well.
shape of tummy: i notice my tummy is flat, hope is a gal. but not visit to gynea still hv 10 days to go during the detail scan. its 5 weeks in between visit. thinking of visit to gynea to check gender but will cause me another $200 so KIV.

I heard that sounds are like vacuum cleaner noise in the womb. Dun think loud noises in surroundings will affect them. Like the volume in din tai fung now is pretty noisy... Haha
Anyway also read this http://www.babysleepsystem.com/babysleep/inside.htm
But of cos no experts here... Better to check w gynae. Unless u r sitting in the VIP boxes, I imagine it's more uncomfy for u than the baby cos so many ppl squeezing around... So much walking...

I asked my gynae about going F1.
But he didnt give me a definite answer. He only said there are no medical evidence to proof that loud noises will affect bb hearing.
>serene: I think playing mj should be OK ba. Bb can learn mathematics and probability at the same time. Hee.
>jascmy: your bb will have potential to become future Star!

Aiyoh, though bb can hear noises after 16wks preg, loud noise will not harm the ear drum lah.. It will just startle the bb at most. Thus, loud noise will make bb moves n if strong enough mummies will feel it.. My friends told me their bb's move alot when they watch loud movies! Anyhow, start talking to the bb, so that after delivery bb will be able to recognize these voices.
As for maternity clothes, my gfs passed me quite a fair bit coz some of my old ones are too tight. So no need to buy anymore!

Re: Baby and loud noises. Loud music or movies are probably ok, but high decibel noise like F1 race is not your everyday loud noise.
"A fetus' prolonged and repeated exposure to very loud noise — say, an eight-hour-a-day shift in an industrial workplace, where the sound level is more than 90 or 100 decibels (about the same as standing next to a loud lawnmower or a chain saw) — raises the odds of a baby suffering some hearing loss, especially at higher frequencies. Such prolonged noise exposure can also increase the risk of premature delivery and low-birth-weight babies. Extremely intense sound, 150 or 155 decibels (ever stand right next to a screaming jet engine?), can cause similar problems for the baby."
Source: http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/ask-heidi/lloud-noises.aspx
FYI, a formula one race car makes a noise of between 120 - 150 decibels. I don't know if it's considered "prolonged", but it's definitely way too loud for comfort.
