For me, I think it's an emergency c-section. I was blessed with a pretty easy birth for #1, and I've heard many stories about how my mummy friends ran into difficulty and last min, gotta go for e-c-sec. It terrifies me!

The forum is quiet today! Just curious, mummies - what are some of your greatest fears, regarding pregnancy and labour?

Thanks Cloudily for the add too... but I don't know how to acknowledge the invite - where can I find it on my fb?? Help anyone? :P

Me too. Bloatedness is worse at night for me, always feel so full, so end up skipping dinner. Mornings are not too bad, so I end up eating alot for breakfast, haha

Sam: Oh that's good to hear! For my #1, I was dilated 4cm at 36 weeks+, but i didn't know cos couldn't feel any contractions, and was still going to work, shopping, etc! Hopefully #2 stays inside for longer!

Hope #2 doesn't come earlier! My #1 came at 37w1d!

Sent you a pm too Lee

Thanks Jo and Angela. Angela: So sweet, your girl likes to pat your tummy. I don't think my boy fully understands that a new baby is on the way, even though we've told him. He agrees to "kiss kiss" my belly, but I think he does it because he thinks it's fun!

Yeah, super tiring to be pregnant and have a toddler running around. My son woke up this morning with a fever, and was super cranky and clingy to me all day. So tiring to carry him... He's already 13kg! Hope he'll be better tmr :/

Yeah, contaminated raw foods can cause listeria in our babies when they are born... increasing risk of death... so as long as food is super fresh and clean, can go ahead. But my gynae says, if in doubt, then don't eat it

Yeah so fast Oscar! I did the oscar for my older boy, but not going to do it this time. It takes so much time! Anyway, discussed with the husband, we're keeping the baby no matter the results Angela: oooh, I love Sashimi! I ate some during my previous pregnancy, but made sure that they were...

I couldn't resist and had Bak kut teh in Malacca... Anyone knows of its safe during pregnancy?

Jo: my next appt is mid Oct, can't remember the exact date, hehe. When's yours? I just got back from a five day trip to Malacca... The food was amazing! But had to be wary of the cleanliness of some roadside stalls :P

Hi Jo, what a coincidence! Our due dates are pretty close! Is there a fb group to join here? Can I join?

Hi Everyone! I'm new here, expecting my second one on 15 April. Currently at 10 weeks. Got a super active 17 month old boy, seeing Dr Caroline Khi at TMC. Nice to meet you all!
