morning girls,
i am so glad its friday! badly needed some rest. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekends!
yesterday was terrible, i took a bus to interchange, when i alight, i felt a bit dizzy and broke into cold sweat, less than a minute, i vomitted out like a merlion!
Lucky i didn't dirty anyone walking near me, i quickly walk towards a drain and continue to puke...my hubby is so worried. That's not the end, i decided to take a cab to work from interchange and vomitted again on the cab!
lucky the driver passed me plastic bag....sigh.
When i reached office, settle down, work abit, finally packed my notebook back home and rest. Wouldn't have gone back to office if not for my notebook as i need it for morning meeting today at home. Really kind of weak after all the vomitting....
Today i feel so much better
But i feel so pai sey
to vomit in the public, its the first time!

Hi ladies,
Yes, it's Friday! Can't wait for the day to end soon! Work sucks & so are my superiors... *Urggg..
Hi ilmare,
Dun worry abt the bb movement, it depends on individual. I am 18 wks & I can't feel the bb movement too. Most of my frds can only feel it around 20 weeks so you will have a long way to go.
OOh no, sorry to hear abt your rashes. R u skin sensitive or allergy to anything?
Hi reenie,
Pls take plenty of rest & dun move around too often. U know moving too fast may trigger your dizziness as well.

Hi Reenie,
I also experienced the same incident as you when I was in BKK 2 weeks ago. I think it has something to do with our gastric (dunno if this is heartburn or backflow). For me, it was due to the food I eat at breakfast plus I exert myself a bit too soon too much.
Felt so relief and well after the puking.

Hi ixwong,
Understand that horrible feeling. Its really upseting, especially in the early morning on my way to work...
i'm not sure what is the cause, but i felt almost fainting and cold sweat. After puking, i felt better but rather weak.
Take care too
Let's try to relax our pace...

Ya erowen, if not for that medical benefits & maternity leave.. I sure give them a good slap & follow by a kick on their ass..heehee
Hi ladies,
I read a book tat say during the 2nd trimsters, we tend to feel more dizziness thanks to our low blood pressure. I check mine and it is slightly lower than my usual one. So I have that feeling of dizziness last 1-2 wks ago. I almost fainted & I have to rest quite a while to get myself back to normal. So whatever activities we are doing, just slow down our pace.

talking about dizziness.. tue night was using PC then saw the screen become 'wavy' like moving.. and seems someone is gently shaking the big chair I'm sitting on.. got a scare thought something wrong with my blood pressure or my eyesight.. then later realise is because of the earthquake.. *phew*...
cat_tail, very true....that's why must really 'ren'....
for the dizziness, are you gals taking any multivit?
Cos i used to have low blood pressure too...but my gynae prescribe me the pre-navit (pink-coloured pills) and after taking it, everytime he measure my blood pressure he says it's pretty ok...
reenie, try not to walk too fast, stand up too suddenly or bent down and bent up, it will cause dizziness.....take gd care ya

Ya erowen! "Ren"!! I always complain to my bb that this & this bully yor mommy. Sometimes, I even scold these ppl infront of my bb. What a bad example of MTB. :z
Erowen, r u talking abt the Obimin, the pink film multi-vitamin tablet for pre & post natal? I am taking it as well together with the folic acid.
Hi nicnic,
I feel breathless when I need to walk fast or climbing stairs. Did u do anything before when you have these symptoms?

hi tulip,
can understand how you feel. i've never heard of that silly rule from mcys until you told me. its very inflexible, esp when medicine is brought in by the parents.
im very vain also, go out must put on makeup. my complexion got very bad during this period. its leaving little scars behind, so have to cover up with foundation before i'm ready to face the world again.
when does the warehouse sale end btw?

timie, thank you. i'm warming up my printer now. this time i'm gonna make hardcopies before this precious list disappears again!
looks like i've to be prepared to spend thousands before bb arrives. car seats, cots and prams are soooo pricey! esp the good ones. these days i'm also cracking my head on how to increase my kitchen space. we went for the minimalist look so now there's no storage space for bb =P

Hi ladies, the sale ends tomorrow.
I cant remember how much they are selling for the wipes (tub) as this is not a highly recommeneded brand for wet tissues.. As i do no have passed down mittens & booties, bought quite a number of sets @ S$1 per set...
All regular items are 20% off, some of the old products are in 30% off.. Ok lar, quite worth it lor..

Hi ladies, been trying to log in but to no avail. Luckily Lib told me can still log into this old addie. hehe... btw, just a note to those who will be delivering at kkh, the spirit thingy for bb's umbilical cord.. kkh dun seems to provide for it. Had a friend who recently gave birth there and she has to buy it herself. Think for all other private hospitals..should hv.
today went to see gynae and managed to see tt I am carrying a gal! The blood test for DS is good too.. very low percentage and my urine test is good too. So ironic actually, for my first pregnancy, I am careful in my diet etc.. end up, my pressure is high, got sugar in urine etc... this one, i super heck care and ate anything!!!! No probs at all.. haha..

Hi everafter, u mean for newborn? Hospital will normally provide u with a pack of Pampers Newborn. But I see the advert on magazines on Mamy Poko Newborn, seems pretty good cos there's a U-shape loop to avoid the umbilical cord. Think I will buy tt. Daytime, will let nb wear cloth nappies.
