Oh yes, on people giving way... Was at Ikea yesterday during dinnertime cos I had a craving for fried chicken wings and as you all would know, the fight for tables on a friday evening is rather ruthless. I spotted a 2-seater and was calmly walking towards it when an auntie started making a...

Hi all, glad that the weekend's finally come around. Nice to see that quite a few mums have gone for their detailed scans already... still patiently waiting for my turn on 1st June. Just crossed the W20 mark btw, and I've started feeling the baby kicks from 2 weeks ago. Usually on my right...

Elizabeth: Sorry today very busy, replying late to your response to me on your nausea... I tend to agree with Mini22 about the sour stuff. I think the symptoms that you've described sound quite like the acid reflux that I've been getting when I'm hungry, or if I take sour stuff. I'd be puking...

ccharis: Thanks for the lists! I dunno man, my mum was telling me that you'll need to use alot of your own stuff at the hospitals now, so I was just wondering what you DON'T have to bring... bed, bolster... Elizabeth: Do you feel ill-disposed only in the morning, or are you able to...

Happy Monday, y'all... I remember there was a list of items that we're supposed to start amassing for the newborn but somehow can't locate it in the past threads anymore. Was browsing at Paragon yesterday and suddenly realised I had more and more things to buy! Can someone kindly share...

Ack, my belly's about 31" although I already look like a kangaroo. Been stumbling abit when I move around recently. On pets, I actually have 2 cats... and I haven't told my gynae yet. I don't clean out their litter boxes though cos I've read about the toxoplasmosis thingy. My mum's trying to...

Melody: Good to know that everything turned out fine in HK! I was due to travel to HK sometime in my 7th week too, but due to minor contractions, gynae advised against travel (like, literally the day before the flight... cos that was my very first appointment with her). I suppose it's not so...

Ehm... actually the gender's kinda set upon fertilisation. So it's just a matter of how fast fast the genitals develop/recede and take on its male/ female form. I suppose it's always easier to sex the baby boys earlier from W12-15 onwards cos there'll be a pronounced appendage in the right area...

reineluv: I suppose you should be close to 20 weeks by now? So exciting! I have to wait a couple more weeks to get there then perhaps I can feel the actual kicks too... May: Welcome back! I'm still feeling nauseous too, but the puking (of liquids, not food) only occurs every couple of days...

Decided to log back on just to post about something totally random. My belly button has gotten alot shallower! I wonder how long more before it actually becomes a full outtie... Quite fascinating, really, cos that means baby and abode are slowly colonising my belly space.

sharonk: My next check-up is on 1st June, to coincide with the W20 detailed scan. It doesn't happen that often, so it's probably nothing to worry about. I did ask my gynae before about the elusive hump but she said it could be intestinal... *shrugs*

meiziang: woah! how'd you get hold of your stethoscope? I want to listen too! sharonk & serenelm: Re braxton hicks - erh, I've been experiencing something weird too, not sure if it matches your experiences. First occured some time in my 15th week. I have this habit of placing my...

SnU: It's not the sound emitted from the scanning machine that some people are worried about, but more so the impact of the energy being released through the probe on the baby that are reflected back to produce the images that you see on the screen. Nevertheless, it still remains a medically...

serenelm: my dresses are usually from Esprit or Future State. I've tried to look elsewhere for long flowy dresses but places like Island Shop only stock clothes that will turn me into a walking mop or lampshade heh heh.

It's FRIDAY! Val (& Btil): regular Panadol is fine for treating flus, just as long as you steer clear from all the extra strength, actifast variants. I was prescribed normal paracetamol when I got sick - the blue and white one. Also, I've been breaking out too! I've always had clear...

Hello all, hope you had a good day off today! Tomorrow going back to work already - very sian. Anyway, I bought my first item for baby on saturday! A little unconventional... but it was a hood towel from the L'Arc~en~Ciel gig at the stadium! Woohoo! Queued up for 2 hours just to get it! Was...

mummywong: NO! I don't wanna stay in the toilet for 2 hours!!! Anyway, on fruits we can/cannot eat. Bananas: My mum tells me that I shouldn't eat the big bananas like Del Monte or Aloha cos they tend to generate quite alot of "wind". She told me to eat the medium-sized ones instead, which I...

Hello all, it's lunchtime! So I can afford some time to come and chat I know I don't usually log in often and can't keep up with the discussions, but when I do, I can be quite chiong hey. Sorry. On sharing the news with people in the office... I'm not pantang though I wanted to keep it...

Recaro seats? Yeah I think my hubband's eyeing them too, saw him looking at that page in a magazine when we were waiting at the clinic yesterday... think he wants his baby's seat to match the bucket seats that daddy and mummy sit on... hahaha. He's also quite keen to look at the more "rugged"...

Hi ladies, just got back from my W15 checkup and it seems like I'll be having a boy. Can go shopping liao
