Just came back from Thomson Medical 24 Hr Clinic. Almost had to be warded. I had severe food poisoning and dehydration. Doc gave me a jab, put me in observation for an hour earlier just now. I had non stop vomitting and diarrhea. But now, it's better. I'm so worried because I'm concerned for the baby. Doc mentioned that if I were to ask my gynae to come back, it would cost me at least $350. She mentioned that if I don't feel cramps like pain or no bleeding, it means baby is fine. But I'm still so worried.
I'm going to walk in to clinic tomorrow to see my gynae. =(
What a xmas.
Oh gosh, u better rest well n eat light food... I also vomitting n diarrhea 2 mths back but took lots of water and frequent visits to the toilet...lol. Doc aso cant prescribe much oral medication to u, so nw have to be more careful of choice of food wor... Take gd care

Merry Christmas ladies!
I didn't go out at all for gatherings or dinner this Christmas. Rejected all invites and stayed home to rest coz food smells still sets off my nausea.
I think ms has finally left me at 18 weeks. So I shopped maternity wear from ASOS and bought sterilizer bundle and ergobaby carrier from mothercare pre-order online.
Feeling very happy today!

Hi all mummies to be.
I'm just back from my gynae visit.
Gynae say baby is healthy and strong. Everything is fine. He checked using ultrasound and checked the organs, legs, hand, heartbeat etc. All's well.
What a relief. I'm also feeling much better now. I guess for us, it's definitely better to avoid BBQ food (A painful Lesson learnt for me).

happycsk, wah! I love online shopping! did you spend a lot on ASOS?
BubsandBloms, glad to know that everything is fine. yes, better stay away from BBQ foods. else if really want to eat, BBQ it yourself and make sure food is really fully cooked first and not left out in the open for prolonged periods before and after cooking.

Thanks for the encouragement. What are you working as? Is it desk-bound job?
I supposed it's the festive season and honestly, no one definitely feels like working.
On the other note, today TMC is packed with couples, and I'm really appreciative of the gynae and nurses who are still hard at work!

Happy to hear you and your baby is alright now.
My gynae already warned me to be careful on what to eat especially during this holiday season, so many good things to eat, but still need to control our eating. We still have another round during CNY next year....

mylilsheep, chat here! haha! I'm gossiping and joking with colleagues to pass the time. but not many colleagues to talk to also as many are already on leave!
me too worried about eating. not so much about food poisoning, but more on weight gain. I've already put on 5kg. for #1, I put on freaking 16kg in total. quite scary for someone my height as I am not very tall.. scared difficult to lose all the additional kgs after birth.

Hi mummies to be. Any of you wanted a boy but harmony result showed its a girl? How do u feel? Any disappointment?

3rd trimester weight gain is around 100gm per week right? That's a few kilos waiting for us.
cynn04, I was laughing when I saw the "selfie stick". a bit useless leh...
positivelife, my hubby been wanting a boy all along. we've 2 girls already, so if #3 is still a girl, he will be very disappointed indeed. I will love either one and deep down really still prefer another girl. then again, I also don't want to see my hubby disappointed. I keep telling him, doesn't matter whether boy or girl, as long as it's a healthy baby. and all children are God-given, there is no way we can choose! some mummies (and daddies) go through pain and countless sorrows and may not even have a child. consider ourselves greatly blessed to have productive wombs that can bring forth healthy kids.
my detailed scan will be next month. but gynae already said 80% boy since saw the birdie already. hubby is over the moon! unless he mistook it on 2 occasions at 17 weeks and 20 weeks for baby's hand or umbilical cord, then too bad lor..

Whether girl or boy when Bb is in ur arms u wont bother to prefer the gender!! Cos all Bb so innocent and honestly i feel looks the same also lah .. But after bringing kids up can see the 'difference' in taking care of boys(my nephew) and girls(like market...)!!!!
Most importantly is dont stop at 1 kid, lol... Need some companion and playmate, growing up tgt and seeing them taking care and fighting wit each other...opppss

@starrymommy, hahaha...... I just bought log cake for share with my colleagues. Got reason to eat cake, although has been warned by my gynae not to eat cake. But I only eat one piece larr. So think it should be ok.
I don't know how much weight gain I have already put on so far. My weighing scale battery low batt and havent have time to buy the battery yet. It is good not to know how much weight you are now. So not to stress urself. hahaha... hopefully I will not found my self too much weight at gynae's office. lols.
But now slowly I can feel my bump showing le ..... sometime hard to breath especially after eating. hahaha......

My in-laws, especially fil, is hoping for a grandson too! but don't know will his wish be fulfilled or not. still have to wait and see. I've gone ahead to buy all the boy stuffs already, anyway! haha! itchy fingers, couldn't resist the online sales.
Agree about not stopping at just one child. I see the way my 2 girls play together sometimes will go "awww..."
they can be so sweet and loving!

I am PR only, so I guess would not be entitled of those free gifts.
Somemore, the saddest thing is that I only entitled for 8 weeks maternity leave, then need to go back to work after 8 weeks. But I talked with my boss, I might need to extend another 1 month and see how my baby first. I am afraid that baby 2 months old still 2-3 hours wake up and I'll be zombie if going back to work after 8 weeks. So envy with all Singaporean mummies here.

mylilsheep, didn't know you are a PR till you shared! my colleague too. she gave birth in August and took extended leave. think she took 2 weeks unpaid leave to settle her nanny issues. are you able to find a reliable nanny where you are staying at? if can then I think that's one worry off your list.. in the meantime, you are staying in SG permanently?
furbee, the 16 weeks ML will probably a super busy one. haha! hubby said very shiok, holiday for 16 weeks. I told him to try lor.. feed, burp, change dirty nappies 24/7. see how he likes it?? men and their nonsense!! what holiday?! can forget about going for decent toilet breaks and have proper 1-hour meals. unless he can hire another maid for me during that period, and my job will only be to eat, sleep, breastfeed. THAT will be shiok!!!

@starrymommy, yup at the moment I think stay in sg first. I am planning to bring over my mom to help me to look after the baby when I am start to work for at least baby 6 months old. So at least I still can breastfeed my baby. After that, I might bring my baby to my hometown there and got more sisters there to help me to look after my baby at least after my baby big enough to be send to child care. I am not really keen to sent my baby to infant care or leave baby at home with nanny alone. Really dunno how I will missed my baby later on.....
