u all really examine your tummy thoroughly lolz ..
for my #1 i din know got faint marks until gynae told me lolz but that is mid of 3rd trim lolz ..
so for this one i also never take note i just apply cream diligently lor

but hearsay it is generic if your mom has it ...you likely will have it

my gynae gave me a new stretch mark cream cos i complained the 1st one will stain light color clothes... the new one smell is nice and it is abit watery so think one big tube can last damn long lolz hopefully it work as good as the 1st brand as i used that for my #1 and the stretch mark quite faint

Good morning mummies! Back to work today, so tired today cos last night cannot sleep properly, keep on waking up to pee. My hubby says his son very smart, already figured out that ooohh, if he kick this spongy thing here (my bladder), mummy will get up (to pee) n stop squishing him.

I have an eczema patch at the right hand bottom of my tummy, so super itchy! N a bit of stretch marks on the sides of my boobs (though I swear they do not look stretched at all). I ran out of my clarins so yesterday bought one bottle of palmers coco butter to dong first, then super regret it cos I hate the smell!

Thurs I'm seeing the KK gynae, think I will ask for 2 days mc. When at home I get so bored n depressed, but once I'm back to work all I can think abt is my bed. Hehe.

Ask you all ladies something, would you buy a baby carrier now, or wait until bb is born, then bring bb to try????

I am tempted to get a Manduca Blackline because my friend can help me get it overseas at a good price ($50-60 cheaper than SG)... Can't decide if I should buy now, or buy later...
 
what is wrong with this period of the year

HK - demonstration
Malaysia / singapore / indonesia - Haze
japan / philippines/ part of malaysia- typhoon hit
thailand beach area- murder tourists
the other side of the world - eloba on the loose

We bought the baby bjorn at expo, though it has mixed reviews, but it was a good deal we thought - $89 instead of the usual $249. My hubby plans to use it to walk the bb n the dog at the same time. :D

i already bought the ergo baby carrier at the fair,wt the infant insert at $139.stroller will buy later,gotto do a bit of research 1st.personally,i prefer to carry baby close to me wen he still small,greater sense of security for both.

wait till baby born i tink will b a bit late? cuz u mus carry baby wt ur hands to shopping mall to try? unless u gt stroller bah :)
 
yah, when I was 5mth preggy, my bro say he will not give his seat if he saw me coz I look fat than preggy...
Now into 6mth, depending on the clothes I wear, sometimes look fat than preggy.. haha

My colleague who is 5 weeks ahead of me really look very preggy. haha

i dun even bother to expect a seat regardless whether i look preggy or not lolz cos some pple just dun bother or they have doubt on my tummy

i only ask/wish for a place to squeeze in and stand lolz
 
for me, not everyone give me seats as well. I don't mind as long as I am feeling well and ok for the trip. :) I also hope that nobody squeeze me in the mrt.
But heng, I don't need take mrt to work coz got coy bus, after work most of the time hub will fetch me coz same direction.

Bring the bb to try whether he likes, not so much on the fitting bah.... I also haven't bought stroller but don't intend to buy until after birth...

I was at the bb fair on Sat and saw some mummies just carrying their NB in their arms to look at the carriers... Was thinking of doing that, though I feel a bit insecure...

Same here. My experience so far is that usually the men won't give up seats, some of the women would give up their seats though. I don't stand in front of the darker priority seats though, if I can, I would move all the way to the middle... more space and "fresher" air and cooler aircon than standing at the entrance.
 
I also 22wks+ still looking more fat then preg. Only can see bump when I wear those tank tops at home. Wear tee or dresses, hardly can tell. Gynae told me to eat more, don't worry abt weight gain. Although I'm already 68kg, gain 5kg already! But I guess a healthy weight bb is more important. Since the possibilies of my bb turning out small is high, I better try n eat more.

Abt idea if the taka bb fair this fri carry tommee tippee bottles? Any mummies using tommee tippee or nuk bottles can give some feedback? My #1 is using pigeon but I'm thinking of changing another brand, so it don't get confusing.

My sis also give birth w/o epidural, but her whole ordeal was just 45mins haa

I was thinking to go without epidural too, I am scared of the needle going into my spine area.

I'm using nuk and I like it. Anyone seen it at taka fair for nuk nipple size 2?

I'm switching to pigeon for #3 because I don't want the helper to get confused and fit the wrong nipple

for me i prefer to have everything ready and not bring the NB out :p

precisely .. i find that aircon is cooler in the middle or the connecting point but these pple just like to stand at the entrance where there is hardly any air con

we thought not bad for a first timer. my friend took 4-5 hr, another colleague took a good 12 hr. both of them with epidural.

20mins is record time! tt means u can tahan the contractions?
my sis contractions started about 5 hrs before her delivery, she was at home and thought its just stomache. haha

Maybe to have 10cm open will take longer time. For me abt 4+pm my gynae burst my waterbag than by 10pm i give birth. i only use 1 hr to push and baby come out. Lucky is short times.
 
Mummies my greatest fear is the delivery itself. Going to try for natural with epidural but the thought still scares me.. how do you all overcome this fear? I even have thoughts of having a c section instead..silly right :(

i guess it is the pain threshold some pple can take it well and din realised in labour ..by the time realised already passed dunno how many hours lolz
i guess really up to individual body ..how fast they dilute and how fast the body react

i actually look forward to natural for #1 but at 38 wks gynae say induce ..and induce = artificially make body to go into labour i dun want so go straight to c sect cos i read when the body is not ready and one induce it will drag even longer ..the stress not necessarily on mom but on baby too so dun wan to put #1 into that stress so C sect heng it was a good move cos gynae say he is big and she got difficulty pulling him out even though C sect ...
and so happened in my nov mummies group got one insist on natural despite warning bb is big and her pelvic did not expand as big as baby ..and nearly got to break bb collar bone bfore she cna come out

http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a1050967/shoulder-dystocia

anyway it is still up to individual for me ..some will say i choose the easy way out lolz
 


My biggest worry is also deliver. :p like @PTB7674, my specialist suggest that I go for induce, I worry that it is artificial coz not my bb choose her birth date then I gotta suffer suffer then ended up worst case gotta E C-sect. wow double cost....

I read a news online that a petite mum was carrying a bb too big for her, she wanted C-sect but the doc felt she can pull thru natural. Ended up baby was crush in the process of birth, doc use forceps and stuff like that, and died after delivery, brain damage or something.... very poor thing..

I will go for C-sect if doc say bb to big for natural, it is really a risk.... I just hope I don't need E C-sect... haha
