Your hubby sounds like a wonderful person. I wanted a girl but gyane said that looks like mine is a boy. My hubby there the male genes too strong le. Hahahah! His side so many males! My hubby so happy it's a boy because he know I will probably try for a second one to see if I can get a girl. Hahaha! If my first born is a girl, I may consider can close shop le! Lol!@Piggling yeah hubby n i wanted a girl. though for some reason whole wide world think we want a boy. maybe cos of hubs status as only child. so when I shared the results the previous round, v funny one, they feel like they need to comfort us "never mind la girl ALSO good"

Wah! feel like going too!@Piggling, @FeatherDuster
I like the massage very much, javanese style with soothing massage in a relax atmosphere with soft music playing at the playground, the masseur, a gentle malay lady massage will massage you with plenty of oil, pressing down gently on the sore aching area.
She get me to lay side way and hug the bolsters, covering the eyes with a soft cloth, first to apply oil and start massage the feet and toes , slowly moving up to calf, thighs ... with gentle soothing moves.
Then back rub on the sore area, boobs also followed by back, shoulder, head, face.
Prenatal is unlike the normal massage, won't exhaust strength on the acupressure points, no cracking of bones and no hard tumbling/knocking.
I like the lady.. v gentle and most not talkative. ... she let u sleep and won't talk... I kanna ever those auntie who talk non stop like doing a CNN interview.

Welcome mamawhale! I'm with KKH as well. But under a different doctor.
My mum told me she delivered me within 4 hours. She didn't even knew she was going into labour and was asked to stay behind in hospital when she went for her routine check. My own experience when I delivered my #1 was quite different, my water bag broke but no contractions at all. So I was induced. Contractions came almost immediately and I dilated from 2cm to 10cm very fast. No time to use epidural, but laughing gas worked well for me. Waited for my gynae to arrive cos nurses kept telling me I'll tear badly if I just push. Eventually, I delivered within 4 hrs and I'm in my mid 30s, so no worries ok.
I'm going for my detailed scan this Sat (I'm a July MTB actually) and might join the FB group only after that. Noticed the forum nowadays not as active already...
I think the high class one leh. I see her ward in her posts is like a hotel room. We choose wrong career le. We should all become bloggers. Everything will get sponsored. Hahahaha! She got endorsements and sponsors for her baby before her baby was even born.
You may wanna pm her in fb first. Think can search for Gloria.liu.

For those who did the harmony test, what's the % of fetal cfDNA? Mine is 8.7%, is this in normal range?
Ic, I did mine at 14 weeks 4 days, perhaps I should consult gynae for such, thanks!!Mine is 11.7% .. i did my harmony test during 12w1d
The fetal dna increases at pregnancy progress..
I think it should be 'normal' since ur Gynae did not raise any concern.
When did u do yours?
Currently 20 weeks n I feel 'activity' in my tummy there when im lying on my left side. Cant wait for the actual movement that i can seeeeHave anyone start to feel baby moving?
Have anyone start to feel baby moving?
Yah, actually now times are different le. Boys and girls are all good, as long as healthy.
I also don't know why some people must comfort others when they are carrying a girl or when they have all girls.
I see some of my friends where they grow up in an all-girls (like 3-4), they are all so close and sweet to their parents! And after they got married, they make sure their husbands joined them in all their family gatherings etc. In fact, I really feel that the family gained sons (through sons in law) instead of losing their daughters.
You hubby sounds sweet and I can imagine it must be lovely.
Your hubby sounds like a wonderful person. I wanted a girl but gyane said that looks like mine is a boy. My hubby there the male genes too strong le. Hahahah! His side so many males! My hubby so happy it's a boy because he know I will probably try for a second one to see if I can get a girl. Hahaha! If my first born is a girl, I may consider can close shop le! Lol!
I can totally emphaty with u.
Don't understand what's wrong with having kids of the same gender. Of coz if my firstborn is a boy, I will be glad to have a brother for him who can play soccer together, sharing tips on girl wooing/booze sessions etc .........
Boys or girls are good in their own merits.
Just that I always feel same gender can get along better or maybe is me who wanted a sister so badly that I called my bro "mei" and dressed him up as a girl and put on lipstick for him.
Now though I treated my sil as sis but the feeling will always be different as real sis who grow up together right and I always envy my friends who has sisters sharing clothes, shopping, going for hi tea and indulging in close intimate topics.
Not that I don't get along well with my bro (he is awesome), just we always touch on serious topics, going on makan/drinking sessions .... no silly giggling gossip sections, sharing of intimate topics though he always crack cold lame jokes that I don't find it funny.
Hi, i am new here=)
my second one and it is a girl!! was HAPPY when i first know that it is a girl...
@FeatherDuster- i experience it too, my mom was telling me that girl also good, as long as baby is healthy... *scratch head*
Havent feel any movement of the bb yet.. looking forward to it.
Hi Everyone, I am new here
Welcome Cheryl and nc25 !! and also to Team Princesses! haha ... i am q amused too esp if their "comforting" is cos they think you might be sad. but i guess its their way of showing concern.
i really still dont feel movements of baby , turning 20wks already leh. last fri was my scan and on the screen i saw the baby really pull up a leg and kick out, but i feel nothing.
maybe i have a layer of blubber at tummy hahaha. immune.
Welcome @Cheryl2302 and @nc25!
My gf has a ang moh bf.. She tel me me ang moh also has that 重男轻女 mentality.
Some thought 'ang mohs' sure no such behaviour but is not lor.
Ang moh also hv LAST name. Especially those who serve the army, they prefer to hv sons. Actually i went to few ang moh bb website/forum to read thru, their gender disappointment is also very high one, especially aft having 2 or gals/boys or they just want 1 kid..
So i guess this 重男轻女 mentality is universal anywhere, just whether pple voice it or comment abt it..
For parents, the gender disappointment may not come from ownself but rather comments/pressure from other pple. Eg. Gd friend/sibling preggy wif your desired gender, grandparents/ friend / colleagues making comments like 'your hubby cant make gals/boys' etc.. But USUALLY once bb come out the disappointment is gone, but i hv read that if it doesnt, it may lead to depression...
Some pple dun dare to admit they hv gender disappointment & they dun discuss wif loved ones. cos tey feel is something to be ashamed of & 'morally' is nt right, so end up the mother suffer.
I think also because most ppl prefer to have their own mothers take care of their children rather then their in law take care. Imagine if u are unhappy with the way your mum take care of your kids you can just tell your mum off but you can't do that to your mil!
yeah sane i believe you may get even more of ppl "comforting" you that you are having a girl. sometimes ppl think its best to have a boy but ya, i have also spoken to girls who only have brothers and they say it is difficult to be close on a certain level as compared to having a sis.
actually any combi is really fine. most importantly the family stay happy and respect one another. I came from a family where having a male is important so my parents still tried for my younger bro after 2 girls. i love my brother a lot but there are times i take myself out to look at the situatuon objectively- i feel that I do have to give up a lot of opportunities because our family isnt well off enough to actually have 3 kids. I had to do without new clothes, classes, tuition, and even at one point some of the older folks in the family say as a girl i need not go to NUS when i got in, because the money should be kept for the boy.
Luckily there were tuition loans available.. so i signed one and paid my own sch fees and worked part time for allowance
this really shaped my thinking now. i want to have kids only within my means and confident of what I can give. not just to fulfil some aged tradition to continue family line. its more important that the kids grow up to be good ppl, rather than just care about having a son and not caring how he turn out, maybe a scum (esp if you spoil him crazy cos he is the heir)
Haha true ..... tats' y my gfs are only stopping at 1 because they want to give the best to their princess.
This is my initial mentality too and my hub told me that nobody can ever replace big gal as no 1 in his heart.
That's y we only want to stop at 1 too but I also feel glad she has a sibling now because at least she can be her companion when both of us are gone. Siblings regardless of gender are important as they grow.
Haha yea I like ... team princesses
Yesterday went bugis wholesale to shop for baby home wear ....... the little teeny weeny pyjamas for newborns are so cuteeeeeeee. ... been a long long time ever since I seen them ......
