Any mummies have backache already? Can't do prenatal massage yet... plus dare not use medicated plaster... any way to relief to the pain? I tried heat pack, but doesn't help....
Hi fairy tale, y u leave yr job after u discover u pregnant? I m also feeling very stress up recently.. Been having the tots of quitting n making me depress. My current job required me to fly to 3rd world countries at least twice a month. Ever since I pregnant, I stop flying. Told my boss I will fly after 1st tri, but now with my spotting I don feel like flying anymore till birth. This will definitely affect my job n make me feel depress every time I feel I m not performing to my boss expectation. Keeping thinking of my job even though I m on hospital leave now. My hubby ask me to quit so that I will not be so stress up n affect the baby..but when think about the extra income, I pull back again. Haiz..fear of not having enough scare me.
@little_eel : for now we have no plans to change to closed group as many wants to keep it a secret. they wan a place where they can rant and ask qn without family and friends knowing. a place where they can be comfortable in. I will have to respect my 80+ members. thanks so do let me know if you wanna join in our little secret group
Thanks @Piggling ! I'll give it a try... the next visit will ask the Gynae if can use medicated plaster... cos especially in office, it's difficult to do those exercise...

Anyway just now went mil plc for dinner.. One of the sister of my hub suddenly 'grabbed' my butt..
She say 'quite firm ah, shd be a boy' ...
Btw, I haven disclose to them the gender yet...
But inside me i was like 'wah, one old wives myth proven true' for me..

Must look out for such cramps. I had bad cramps while expecting my boy due to work stress working till mid9 almost everyday n constantly in tensed up mood. Ended up with early term contraction at 5 mths plus...n was on medication to relax the muscles.Can understand how you feel, about not performing up to standards. Sometimes, I also feel very tired and I feel like quitting my job because certain mornings, I find it hard to get up and I feel that sometimes work stress does make me tensed up and like makes me feel crampy in the tummy. And every cramps makes me scared.
If you are not comfortable with flying, then don't. Just close one eye on your performance. If you intend to stay on, you can catch up on your career after you have given birth. Even if you finally choose to leave your job, you can still find a job after you have given birth. But baby is dependent on us for health now so we really have to put ourselves on top priority now. Since you are on hospital leave now, just rest well and don't think too much. Take care.

Really must relax @Piggling & take care
Thanks all for kind wishes. Just finish ultrasound not long ago. Baby is 55mm in size and having heartbeat. Seems like after all this ordeal he can still jump ard. Ward doctor says bleeding likely cause by fibroid. Now monitoring
I find myself getting more irritated in the office. Must be the hormones lol. But I tell myself that its just a job. No point getting upset and feeling down about things. Just focus on doing what you can and be happy at the end of the day. hoping the next few months will be easy but unlikely as it will be very busy at work. Just keeping positive for the baby. Happy mom = happy baby )Oh.. that is alarming! Okie, thanks for your advice.
Yah, sometimes when I start to get uptight about work, I just tell myself relax relax, close one eye and just do my own part then boh chup. At the end of the day, baby is still the most important.

Anyone in their 15 weeks & alrdy has a bump?
I dun have it.. Still can wear my denim shorts.. Thou those skinny jeans maybe abit hard to button & zip liao..
Nobody can tel i am preggy & probably think i am an average size woman with a thick waist..
Just no actual bump..
I guess for now i should just enjoy wearing my non-maternity clothings..
We just started my girl in half day daycare programme today. Mainly cos we wanted her to get some exposure to Chinese language (i can't speak Chinese well and my husband doesn't speak the language at all.). When we found out that #2 is on the way, we thought it'll definitely a good idea for daycare.Me sahm...I won't be looking for infant care. But I know some sahm runs home business and or have more than 1 kiddo, so they usually will have different baby care arrangements. Really depends on circumstances.
Like though I'm sahm, I started my girl in childcare at 18 months cos we plan to start trying for no.2 after that. We feel if I get preggy, by then no.1 should have been settled into cc already so transition will be smoother. Plus we don't get help from our parents. But seriously different sahm has different plans, like working mums/ MTBs
1 of my sahm Fren sends her no.1 to cc, no.2 to nanny cos she has home business plus they prefer no maids So it's like quasi-sahm heee...
What are your plans?
Haha. Your story is exactly like mine! Except I extended my notice period to train my replacement. Only conceived a week or so after my official last day! Plan was to quit to travel, surf and do yoga course. Halfway during my holiday, I found out I was pregnant so cut short and came home.actually I tendered my resignation in nov.. that was before I knew i was preggy.. I wanna take a break & because quite sianz of my job..
then in mid dec I realised I was preggy.. so I decided to use my balance leave so I can leave earlier.. hehe..

Like @jayjtan, whenever I felt tense and stress at my job. I felt cramps at my tummy too. That was the worst period of my life, stress at work, ms and all sort of troubles come at the same time. I felt like fighting one battle after another. Leave workplace and voila, life has never been better ♡♡♡♡♡
So morale of the story, rest and relax .. juz be happy. Thinking of joining my friend to pre natal massage in Mar, just make myself happy.
The peak will be 8-10 weeks then u will start to get better.
Don't worry too much.
Me too, raging hormones. My temper is x10 of my pre pregnancy
Quite hard to control, must ask myself to control and relax daily.
Like that is quite good too, tummy won't stretch so much and less prone to stretch marks

Ya.. Sometimes things are just so 'unpredictable' ..
My hub was initially like y for nuthing i wanna quit.
I say i wanna rest, & he say huh.. U 30+ & u sick & tired of working..
I say not tired of working, just sick of this current job cos 10yrs + & no advancement..
I know if i seek his 'approval', i forever no need to quit liao.. So i just went ahead & tender w/o informing him.
Then few weeks later when realise i was preggy.... His tone of voice changed 'then u beta faster leave & rest at home' ..
So 'hypocrite' ...
If i not preggy, he will like forever 'disagree' for me to quit.. Now preggy liao, then i got 'valid' reason to stay home like tat..

Glad to know that baby is active.
I have a friend who delivered a healthy baby despite fibroid so it is okie as long as it is not hindering baby's growth.
Take care and ask your wife to remain positive and relax.
Oh dear. Then late for cny liao.They indicated 29 Jan. . Then I drop them an email.. They say try to wait till 13 feb...
Dunno is it becoz i keyed an extra zero to the blk no... that why delay.

Thanks for yr advice.. Really hard for woman to choose between family n career. the doc also say is the stress that is making me unhappy n depress n baby can feel it. Don want this baby to come out feeling negative.. Think I have to give up my work and enjoy my pregnancy to have a postive baby..Can understand how you feel, about not performing up to standards. Sometimes, I also feel very tired and I feel like quitting my job because certain mornings, I find it hard to get up and I feel that sometimes work stress does make me tensed up and like makes me feel crampy in the tummy.

wow I love your pre pregnancy plan
I have a very simple wish ever since I got preggy with no.1, that is to ski. Been putting on hold since no.1 and almost flew to Hokkaido last Jan to ski. Ended up hubby isn't that keen, so we went to Hokkaido in July instead for the lavender season, without the kiddo..!! gosh, what a liberation lol... evil parents.
So now I'm hoping when my girl turns 5, we'll be able to go for a family ski trip, let her start on the lessons then. Waiting until neck super long. Used to ski every winter when I was living overseas, lifestyle is really quite different here
But I must say overseas trip without the kiddo is divine, perhaps because we look after her 24-7, no help from our parents. so such trip is a very welcoming real break for us. I wonder if this will be possible with no.2
We brought our girl to Melb when she was abt 9 months old...ended up being a slave to her routines lol... but luckily she napped longger hours there (maybe it's the nice cooling weather) so we had some gd cafe breaks and shopping during those times. Car rides was bad, too much driving for her, the moment she saw the car seat, she started acting out lol... Arghhhh....
So ever since melb, we told ourselves, no more long haul trips with her lol. So far the short trips are proving to be very good, the 3d2n and 4d3n sort. Short enough to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, but not long enough to be tired out by her cos kids can get more cranky/tired as the trip gets longer.
This weekends we are gg for a staycation across the border, buy cny goodies, wash and clean up the car, take a little break. Seriously wondering how life gonna be like with another new addition.
Thanks for yr advice.. Really hard for woman to choose between family n career. the doc also say is the stress that is making me unhappy n depress n baby can feel it. Don want this baby to come out feeling negative.. Think I have to give up my work and enjoy my pregnancy to have a postive baby..
My hubby keep assuring me his income alone will do.. As right now he is paying for all bills n household uses. For my income is for saving n my parent allowance. The only things we have to give up if I resign are those restaurants n holidays.. I like go travel at least twice a year but now with no 2 coming out.. I don think we can travel for the next 2 years.
He already download tons of Hk drama series in hard disk for me.. Think can last me for the next 8 mths..
