Aiyo, most of the MTBs here are actually looking forward to your EDD.. but here I am, freaking out whenever I think of the pending date!! Really want to chicken-out, i always tell hubby .. if only i can he can go thru the delivery instead.
rochelle,
hi hi!! u are here! how are u & how is yr work?
me not yet swell, but got a feeling it is coming soon...
swimming can reduce it huh? aiya, i stopped swimming since preggie...
btw are all MTB taking milk (hi-lo or full cream)? me seldom take lei. only once in a while take marigold hi-lo. these few days keep seeng mtb mentioned abt milk so a bit worry me not taking enuff milk, dunno will affect bb or not. guess i need to start now?

you can request for a free sample of frisomum and enfamama via the website, they will send it to your house...these are special formulated milk for pregnant and breastfeeding mums...think these are better than marigold or daisy or magnolia
http://friso.com.sg/sample_form.html
http://www.meadjohnsonasia.com/main3.cfm?country=Singapore&navi_section=
or you can ask your gynae whether they have free sample to give

TBL,
I didn't take milk throughout my pregnancy.. in fact, I still take my daily dose of coffee, chinese tea during lunch, pineapples..etc. Maybe bcause of all the caffaine, my haemogoblin level is below the margin. Was told by gynae to take more red meat.. esp. BEEF. But I don't take beef lah.
At times, I find myself very wierd.. taking things that most preggies avoid, having diff or no symptoms from most.. etc. *scratch head*

bride0712,
u can drink so much water and u still dun go to toilet in the middle of the nite? wow! i envy u.
ya lor, dr esther also does the usual stuff with me...she'll show me the thigh bone, heart, the big aorta, the umbilical cord, placenta, etc. she'll then say my amniotic fluid is good/sufficient.
btw, did she ever do a CTG for ur baby? i went to her today, telling her i didnt feel much baby's movement and she said if i worried abt baby's movement, i can go to ESH or MAH to do a check on my baby's movement and they'll charge me abt $50.
i was thinking, "oh my god, she doesnt even have the CTG stuff in her office meh?" now i'll wait & see her delivery skills. if not good, i'm switching gynae for sure.
ziztine,
i've been taking beef once/twice a week, lotsa leafy veg (when i can) and anmum every 2-3days & a packet of milk every day. pp kept saying my belly is big (as if i'm due soon), i also asked my gynae if i have too much amniotic fluid, she said no SO i always wunder if her estimated weight is even accurate.
my baby's weight is a concern cos if it's too small, i can do something abt it. if it's too big, i'll control my carbo intake but still take meat, fish, veg, fruits, fibre, etc.
my gynae did say i'm anaemic (did i spell correctly) so i may not bring enuff nutrients to my baby so from 5th mth onwards, i've been taking 2 iron tablets daily.
aiya, that's y i tot of changing gynae next time. it's my 1st pregnancy so i tend to be info-hungry. i like to know as much as possible but i always get the feeling that my gynae only entertaining (fu yen) me.

kelly,
Nope, never do ctg b4. I've never complained to her abt any discomfort b4 thru'out this pregnancy... even the pains in my hand etc. Actually, I don't think I've questioned her abt anything at all. So Esther thinks that I'm very 'strong'/gung-ho.. all ready to go thru the whole delivery... Wait till she sees me on the DAY itself.. I'm afraid I might scare her with all the screamings mann. Even now, whenever I go for my scheduled appts, I'll have sweaty palms the whole morning... my hubby can't imagine what'll it be like when i go into labor.

aiyo, my husband and i always have lotsa of questions for dr esther. i always complain to her if i get pains anywhere. i tik she tiks i very "bao bei"...never mind lah, then she'll handle me gently during delivery. i'll be screaming my head off too if i'm not using any drugs. i tik the nurses at MAH will encourage me to use drugs so i wont scare the other MTBs.

chihiro, tbl
I sleep with two pillows for my head and one pillow for my feet becos if my head is lower than my feet, I get quite bad heartburn.
I switch to wearing sandals so that even if my feet swell during the day, I can easily take off my sandals. I am wearing Clarks sandals becos the support is better.
my blood pressure is 100/60 which is normal but becos baby is bigger so my next checkup is 2 wks time instead of 3 wks time. if your face and hands are swollen as well as your feet than you should let your gynae know immediately.

TBL,
my urine test for sugar is normal and no diabetes in my family so gynae didnt ask me to control food intake. if face and hand also swollen then could be pre-eclampsia especially when the blood pressure is high.
my baby's head and stomach measurements are bigger than average so gynae being cautious.

you do have a petite frame! your bb is of a good weight already, can tell him that he's big enough to come out liao, no need to wait in the womb any longer
tbl
i don't drink much milk because don't like the taste but take calcium supplements religiously. so far, only very mild leg cramps once in a while and bb is a good size. but i'm gonna take enfamama soon because read that now is the time where my bb's calcium needs increase (i'm 29 weeks). can try taking yogurt also, good for calcium and digestion
