Hi angelbel, most confinement ladies take deposit only after 1st trimester when it is more stable. My CL quoted 2.9k but my friend says she is good so I just book first since I heard too many confinement horror stories.
I am seeing Dr Irene Chua @ Gleneagles this Friday, switching from my previous gynae since I moved house and his clinic is too far, then again still thinking if I should switch back since I am familiar with him. Anyone seeing the same gynae as me?
Is swimming ok for us ? Feel that my fitness level went down drastically the past 3 mths but my mum doesn't seem to approve when I said I want to go swimming

I go to public swimming pool once or twice a week. I just stay away from those kids by swimming in the middle of the pool rather than near the side of the pool. But last time, there was once i feel so breathless, then I pulled the string in the middle of the pool to have a rest for few seconds and take my breath first before I continue swimming. Feel a bit of panic that time. Later on, for safety reason I'd choose to swim near the side, so easier for me to rest just in case I need to. I also found if you go for swimming on weekday morning, say at around 7 am, it would be not many people there and no kids at all. Otherwise, try the time at around 6 pm, also not many people yet. But 7 pm would normally have lot more people. Avoid to go on the weekend morning after 8 am or afternoon as there will be more kids.
Why liddat huh?? So depressing. I dont remember feeling like this for #1. Grrrrrr
starrymommy, hahahaha..... bo bian lor... for the sake of my baby lor. In fact, it is really very hard for me to wake up that early at the beginning, but now I am get used to sleep early then wake up early.
isenggirl, soreness may mean womb is stretching. as long as no prolonged cramping feeling with bleeding, it is fine. I am not feeling any soreness, maybe because numb already after having 2 kids. lol! I feel some hardening of the uterus though, which is quote uncomfortable. this happens a few times a day. was worried initially, but kind of used to it now as baby still kicks all the time and no sign of any bleeding.
Sob i bought angel sounds but cannot find my bb heartbeat le. Anyone got this problem?
Wah.. how to keep up with work? Usually after swimming i will feel very tired and hungry..
Anyway, anyone feeling sore at the baby area? Today I feel abit sore.. not that bad until i cant walk but feel abit different.. ytd i had jabbing feeling at the down/ left side but thats about it. Anyone encountered soreness before?
i try to la. but dont know if it is the baby heart beat. it is soft but with 1 louder beat..i move all over from the top to the very bottom and to the left and to the right lo. this fri i going to meet my gynae..so i going to ask him where i can find the heart beat lol. hubs saying that i cant hear it cos it is not those powerful one like the gynae's ..telling me i m being very silly. grrh..angryHi all mummies to be *wave*
A first time mum to be, going 18wks now...
Same as Newbiemum80, i couldnt find the heartbeat too and was pretty worried.. finally heard something soft on the 2nd night (with aloe vera gel) but unsure if that's bb's heartbeat.. Like what Starrymommy mentioned, seems to be lower off the belly button region...
Gotto wait for another 3 wks for the detailed scan, hopefully will hear something stronger along the way before that!
For me, no swimming also feel tired and hungry. lols so no difference at all.
@isenggirl, saw that you have sore feeling at your tummy area from 1st tri? I have that feeling on my first tri, but I do not feel that soring anymore nore. Only sometime when I stretch my body when wake up in the morning then can feel tummy got lengthened a bit. I think you should bring it up to your gynae on your next visit, just to make sure that everything is ok.
wow! i wan to experience the kick too heheh. i always find it ticklish feeling or poking feeling. i told hub but he say i go crazy liao. starrymommy, u how many weeks liao huh? i forgotthe jabbing and poking feeling I have been feeling are all from baby moving about inside. he was so active last night that I hardly got any sleep. kept waking up at really odd timings to feel him move and kick! the strongest kick I felt was at 6.30am. really like a mega kick 1 inch below the navel.
i m always hungry after 2 hrs. i used to order less rice from the vege rice stall, now i dont bother liao. they give me how much i eat how much. faint.I had jabbing/ poking feeling few wks back. But now its abit soreness mixed with slight jabbing. I got some mucus discharge today. Normal color though. And actually i just had lunch at 1pm, and about 2.45pm my stomach growling again. I think its okay to keep eating as long as no vomit! But i feel both almost like concurrently. I m sure i m not alone though..... i am still waiting for the bright day to come...
yup. i am a first time mummy. i m going to 17 wks soon. ya. is very subtle one. i need to sit up or some sitting position then i can feel it. i lie down i wont feel it. probably i quite sensitive cos usually i dont experience this before@newbiemum80, are you first time mummy? I feel baby kick at around 17 weeks but very subtle one and need to concentrate to feel that moving. Now almost at 19 weeks. I can feel it getting stronger and stronger, but I think not as strong as starrymommy liao. hahaha.....
How many weeks are you at now?
Yup, but I have taken fish oil even on my first tri. I eat the GNC prenatal program that comes with fish oil. Recently, I bought prenatal DHA from Nordic and it got promo comes with a glass bottle for the baby.Hi all,
Sorry. This may have been brought up before and I may have missed the thread.
But, i need recommendations for DHA Fish Oil supplements.
To be taken once hit 2nd tri, right?
we are 1 week difference. i m going to b wk 17 tml lolx.newbiemum80, I'm 18 weeks tmr. didn't feel this intensity in baby movements with previous 2. somehow feeling more with this one. I was actually lying flat on my back when I felt his mega kick. placed my hand over the bump and he did it again, strong enough for my hand to feel it too! strong little fella. haha!
lil_mermaid, I started once hit 2nd tri. I read that we need minimum 1000mg of DHA daily. depending on the potency of the fish oil you are having, you may need more than 1 pill a day.

Is it this one?
Im currently taking blackmores. So on top of that, i can eat this nordic dha?
Mylilsheep, may I know where u buy the nordic prenatal dha with promo pls?
It seems only my gynae told me to take enough supplements but not too much. He said not scientifically proven that our body can absorb that much. Eat fish is much better. I am taking once a day only. Hmm..
