hi,Hi,
Great to see you ladies.. I'm expecting my no.2 too, now 9th week. Gynae is Dr Koh from C.H. Koh Clinic at Toa Payoh. Gave birth to my first at Mt A, think I will choose Mt A again due to the great nurses who given superb care to me and my firstborn. I missed a trip to Phuket (my hubby booked specially for my birthday) in mid-Aug due to some instability in my pregnancy. *Cross fingers*
Seems somehow most ppl have worse symptoms for no.2 here. Me too, keep vomitting and feel so sluggish. My first was just feeling tired that's ll, had very good appetite then. Buts that 3yrs back, so dun know if age got anything to do with it..Pls add me to the fb group, my email address: [email protected].
Bless all!
so envy you here. though tis time is my 2nd, but i feel more miserable and tired with nausea.. my 1st bb was at 5 years ago. one day vomit 8 times.. now think back feel horrible.. seem my nightmare coming back very soon.
Hi chelz, thanks for the assurance. I had brownish discharge on sunday night again. No an tai yao from gynae though. My little dot was at 7mm only when I went for scan. I've been blessed for both pregnancy, no symptoms at all except tiredness so it is still a very well-kept secret for me. Keke.

hi,
envy envy... next monday be going for gynae again. hope to see heart beat. take care
ladydee, as long as no see red should be fine.
My lil dot was only 0.61cm only! like even smaller than all of yours!
Welcome mikiko! Congrats to your no.3!
Orangedustee, ya I heard b4 medicated plaster cannot use. Better don't use it k.
If you really need pain killer, better ask paracetamol from your Gynae or GP.
Try pre natal Yoga. Maybe can helps.

hi Orangedustee - i was looking into the topic of cosmetic during pregnancy these 2 days and i realised that my deodorant, shampoo and conditioner contain harmful ingredients ie Propylene Glycol
so i am planning to shop for replacements this weekend.... Any recommendations?Most SKII products are ok cos they are made from organic ingredients. I am using their eye cream and face cream. But my BB cream and mascara, they are either in korean or japanese
Here's the article on cosmetics during pregancy:
http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnan.../is-it-safe-hidden-dangers-in-your-house.aspx
"As a rule of thumb with cosmetics, you can always trust a product that uses natural oils for fragrance. But unfortunately, there's a whole laundry list of unsafe (and semi-unpronounceable) ingredients you should probably steer clear of, like: Parabens, Phthalataes, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, 1, 4 Dioxane, Polythlene Glycol PEG/PPG, Propylene Glycol, Triclosan, or Oxybenzone. As for nail polish, you don’t have to avoid mani-pedis forever (phew!). Just make sure to check the label to ensure it’s DBP, formaldehyde, and toluene-free. Think this is all about your safety? Think again. The most common kind of poison exposure in children six and under is from cosmetics and personal care products."

Oh yeah.. been wanting to ask around..
Anyone have contact for making 胎毛笔?
I used to see a stall at Suntec City Mall, but due to its renovation it has moved away..
Was thinking to make one for my girl.. The stall owner was from Msia, the stuff are all manufactured there.
As far as I know, the one opp TMC is very exp, so I was hesitating to make it there..

I think Clarins is the most natural skincare? It uses a lot of botanical extracts.
I think there's a Tao Mao Bi shop in KKH too. But I never check it out.
Mikko3: stay positive !

Haha. I rem last time like to scratch the tummy below the belly button during last trimester. Hope my tummy won't be too big this time. Really envy the Koreans and Jap girls , really small tumtum and most hardly put on more than 10.
Thanks ladydee!
I hope the headache can go away w/o needing to pop panadol.
Asking 2nd/3rd/4th time mummies, does your tumtum showing now? I realized mine is getting bigger wor. I should be 8-9wks now only!
My 1st pregnancy 5th month tumtum then started showing leh!
Duno how to hide now....

I dunno is that my tummy or I eat too much but it's a little bigger now. Some mummies tell me got tumtum must show esp when u take public transport, then people will give up their seats for you. I prefer to hide my tumtum , don't want anybody to know until the preg is stable.
My tum tum sticks out but looks more like fats! Haha....my #1 13 weeks then start looking like fats. Haha. 16 weeks then look more like small preggy tummy.
^5 limlim, I also prefer to hide till it's stable. That day took train with hubby, then was standing in front of priority seat, he said so loud, "Hey! You qualify to sit liao", I wanted to whack his head!

Last time when I was about 6 mths preggy , I let a lady with a smaller tumtum than me have the seat when I took the train from Newton to Yishun. (I dont work...so taking a train so far consider quite big deal for me ). But was quite sad nobody let me have a seat but cannot blame also la, I always wear baggy dresses.
If my hubby said that to me, I sure shoot him my killer stare! Nowadays when I fetch my son from school, he always tell me bring maid, scare I carry my son up the carseat. Sianz. I enjoy the 'me and son' time, like pak tor feeling. Hhahah.

limlim: Hahaha, I know your pak tor feeling! That's why my hubby always say my #1 is my son, mommy's boy. He already lay "claim" on #2. He say must be daddy's boy or girl this time! lol.
Anyway, my secret is not a secret anymore. My colleague just asked me before lunch and I just told the truth lor. She say she has 6th sense about it. *faint* My this pregnancy, everyone has 6th sense about it. I won't have tested if it's not for my mil who just suddenly ask and say she has 6th sense about it too. Even my dad asked my mum about it a week before I tested.

Ya. Cannot give in to cravings, esp if its for unhealthy food. Everytime I crave for some unhealthy stuff , I just tell myself 'NO, I do not want to put on 20kg!'. Go drink water. Lolzz
Saw u looking for confinement lady? I think agency is good in the sense they can change the nanny till u happy. And you can tell them your requirement , age group and stuff. If u hire private nanny sometimes they play you out last min by saying they not available due to some reasons and then they refer their relatives or frens to you ( they get a cut from the referral) . And sometimes really nanny from hell, lazy or encourage the mum to feed FM.
I also try not to take so much cold drinks but SG is so hot!
