Piyobaby, woody will auto tell u the gender or have to ask? i think i will be week 17 by the time i see him. my prenavit can't last till my next visit.

Sblbee, cos my hb nd to work so we have to postpone. u have so many days of leave ah?

Cookiesm, i also craving for homecook food. prefer my mum than my mil. but most of the days i eat out as we are living by ourselves.

 

[theliverbird]

CookiesM: me too. Weird taste in mouth.. My mum calls it bei jia ow in hokkien.

Especially after eating it comes immediately the horrible bland taste in mouth.

The other day I step out of my house to take the lift and I smell neighbour's cooking, I immediately feel nausea. Entered the lift I vomitted... Arghhhh!

 

[ashleysinn]

Hello!

I'm new here so pardon mi if anythin wrong ya?

My edd is 23 jul 12 n nt sure of gender yet. Bb kept legs closed at visit last week.

nw 14 weeks n tmr 15th week

cant survive my wait between visits cos dun feel preg nw w/o MS n bb nt kickin yet

if we feel butterfly flutters shud b below belly button area isit?

Hmm. Noticed dat when dr scan, bb is low below belly button but my whole tummy includin upper abs is v big n hard. Anyone in same situation?

 

[piyobaby]

b00ney....he will auto try to scan for gender. My last visit, aft showing us the heartbeat, stomach, head etc he kept quiet & continue to scan, oreadi know he is trying to identify gender, lol

 

[season4]

baby gender
i was also unable to see my baby's gender during last visit as baby was crossing legs. but feel that as long as baby is healthy, boy or girl is fine right?

chloe, yes. detailed scan will be in wk20.

lfcfan, you're not alone. my ms is still following me. no appetite too and hubby been nagging me, said i must eat more for baby but it's not that i dont want to eat, but really cant no appetite lor. i'm hoping ms will be gone soon too. let's pray hard!

 

[doremon08]

Wa so good, some of you already know your baby's gender. I am having my next visit next week, hope I can know baby's gender too.

Happy renri to all mummies!

 

[stressgal]

hey, all first time mummies.. i am first time mum due end june.. juz popping over to see jul posts! wow so much!!

1. can i ask when did u all start getting the essential stuff for the baby; things such as baby cot, mittens, booties, clothings, bath tub, mat, towels, lotion, blankets, milk bottles etc etc..?? too kiasu to start buying now??

2. where did u all buy maternity clothing from? i dun wan to spend alot on maternity clothings.. anyone buy from gmarket or any place/webbie to intro? i was juz thinking of buying empire dresses to wear but not sure if i can still wear till delivery?

3. wat are the current supplements that you all are taking now? i am currently taking calcium, obimin multivitamins and natal careplus.. i running out of them... do u all go back to gynae to replenish or can get from pharmacy?

4. have u all start bookin for confinement lady already? u get from PEM agency or from recommendation? which will be better?

 

[ashleysinn]

Jenny: hello! I m a 1st time mummy too!!

1. For bb stuff, i m waitin to noe gender den buy. But if some stuff like steraliser etc gt discount u can start buyin too

2. I bought frm asos.com since i m of a bigger sized n cant wear free size mat dresses

3. My gynae gave mi a multi vit called new obimin. Lots of vit inside so if run out i'll hv to go bac to her.

4. I booked my confinement lady already thru intro frm colleague. Tink u need to book asap too cos dragon yr so v hot demand. Agency is nt bad cos they do everythin for u n helps u find replacement if e agreed one crops up so u can go there if u gt no recommended ones

Hope dat helps!

 

[sunbelle]

Totally agreed with ashley.

those tins do not depend on gender we can buy first. hehhee

anyone of you looking to buy any maternity insurance for your baby huh? i am looking around but there seeem to be isnt any one that covers the first 15 days when baby is born.

Do u ladies know what tins can be bought from bangkok huh? i can only tot of naraya diaper baby bag hahahha

 

[cheery_apple]

gd morning mummies!

Facing huge inertia to work. :S Haha..

For insurance, i heard only prudential & AIA has insurance that covers pregnancy till baby is born. Then the plan will be auto converted to investment linked plan when baby born. But i havent go and find out more yet coz i heard can only buy when u r 20 weeks and above.

 

[mumenetan]

Hi Morning!

I also struggled alittle to come to work after a week's break. I have not bought any insurance for bb yet so far. Need to compare great eastern and manulife quote.

Going for my scan this Friday..so excited to know the gender soon.

 

[cheery_apple]

Gd luck E Tan!

Dunno whether too tired these few weeks or what, i kept wondering recently if there's any work-from-home lobang? hahahah (think i need to quit day-dreaming!)

 

[rouxianye]

Hey mommies! Can I check if anyone of u have used confinement ladies from Thomson Parentcraft? Any feedback? Looking for a confinement lady that only comes in morning and goes back at night. Any recommendations?

awaiting my 2nd appt at my gynae, so many complains to make. feeling like jellyfish everymorning whn i wake. feel like puking cant puke. giddy. i din have ms in tri1. and my back bone the two bigbig ones the left side always feel pain when i sit on floor or try to turn ard. nt too sure if its due to epidural i took whn i had #1.

another problem is sleeping. usin tees to prop myself comfortably b4 i slp at night. waking to pee so often i find it hard to fall aslp aft that. today officially back at wrk after 10days feel like zombie.

I have aching legs too!! can we use leg massager like Uphoria ah? i heard we cant have massages. But really aching leh!!

Oh ya. I dun reAlly hv MS nw (used to b quite bad but reduced since week 11) but appetite as in wad i like is nt like last time. But i reali eat alot nw man. Dun eat den nauseous. How to control weight gain lidat!?

Still gettin up to pee but nt as bad n early as before n nt everyday. But cant seem to slp long long liao.. But naps r so essential when i m nt working..

[ourlovestory]

i keeps fliping when i sleep.. looking for the correct position, will this affect the baby?

my leg also aching... have to ask hubby to masssage instead!

btw, anyone has problem sitting up from bed? i need help from my hubby sometimes...

 

[meiling5]

Wah I did encounter problems like insomnia after visiting toilet in the middle of the night and cramps but it's better now already....

What's a maternity bolster? What is it for? I'm always lying on my tummy when I'm awake and in my back when I'm asleep....tend to get breathless if I lie on the left side....

 

[ashleysinn]

I tink mummies r really v power n great sia. Esp u all who already hv a young one at home. Dat time i take long leave frm work cos of MS den i everyday can onli slp den i wonder hw u all handle a young one at home n tahan e MS...

 

[rainbowdream]

Hi mummies, anyone seeing tcm too? i'm wondering if tcm will usually advise on different things to eat at different stages of the pregnancy, as the bb grows? My tcm gave me herbs for soup that he said is good for an tai and mummy too, and he said can take this till end of pregnancy liao.

 

[piyobaby]

Buying of bb things - do oso consider that for items wif warranty, do not buy too early as warranty take effect upon purchase.

Just to share....saw Medela Freestyle bundle in kiddy palace having promo, very good price of $699. Freestyle on its own used to cost ard $1K. Best thing abt warranty is Medela will start the warranty upon delivery so juz have to keep the receipt & provide birth certain upon delivery.

 

[ourlovestory]

any mummies bought bb cot already?

 

[kiel]

ourlovestory: i tummy not so big but can see la. but i need help at times. the back maciam gg to crack. =(

 

[kiel]

i thought baby stuffs can only buy only bigger? when is the best time to buy? i haven got anything yet. i scared to 'offend' wrongly.

 

[piyobaby]

Rer-rer....good luck! I'm only seeing him next week, such a long wait.

Ourlovestory...I rem learning in pre natal class the 'correct' way of getting up from bed ESP so when the bump get bigger in the later stage. Turn to the side of the body, using elbow as support (arm L shaped to the bed) and prop ur upper body up slowly. Hope you get the bad description I have.

 

[kiel]

piyobaby: i can catch the picture. clear enf. at times i do this but i use my #1's bed as support to 'pull' myself up. hehehehe

 

[ourlovestory]

thanks piyobaby! i guess i was trying to get straight up when lying flat down... so it is not so easy!

 

[piyobaby]

Luckily I hv platform bed....will slide myself down sometimes! Lol

The used to be this L shaped pillow from cheeky Bon Bon which is so comfy & very cheap but too bad they stop carrying it le!

 

[ourlovestory]

sometimes i pulled my hubby shirt as support to get up! hahahahaha...

 

[piyobaby]

Ourlovestory....dun mention. Guess sometimes we do forget dat we are preggy! Lol

 

[ourlovestory]

i sleep very little and i do not nap (also cannot nap as i am working) ... i wonder will it affect my baby... ??

 

[kiel]

are u all at work now or home? anyone takes teabreak? i wanted to buy lor mai gai back to office but hub said wait i feel to 'bloated' will get indigestion cos my gastric used to be not so good. what u all had? lets share!

 

[cheery_apple]

Rykiel, i cant rem the brand of the maternity bolster. My hubby bought for me coz i had trouble sleeping. It's in pink and white checkers and it's a germany brand. I ask my hubby later. if not i go home check the brand and let u know.

(the shape of the bolster is similar to the 4th picture u posted - the one that's cream in colour with teddy-bear prints!)

ya, i think i need to stop getting up the sit-up way. like v bad for baby hor. Thanks piyobaby for the elbow-method!!

 

[ourlovestory]

lor mai gai is made from glutinous rice right? willbe more difficult to digest leh... u are making me hungry! i have a chocolate muffin for tea break

 

[cheery_apple]

oh the brand of the maternity bolster is Theraline! Hubby did the research, so he rem better. haha..

Sadly, at work..
