Inc,
i also wanted to ask the same question..
I'm taking :
1. Multivits given by gynae (pink pill)
2. Calcium (Suncal)
3. Prolacta (DHA) twice a day
4. Vit C (my own)
I stopped folic acid last week as gynae says it's no longer needed. I'm entering my 24th week this weekend.

Garfield,
You attending Shambhala? I also go there, started 3 weeks ago...so far so good...1st lesson, felt that stomach a bit tight, after that looser...but I go to the weekday noon class, think different instructor.
If you have UOB ladies card, there's a 10% discount off the package...works out to be $22+ per lesson.
ENjoy yourself!

Sneaky: i didnt put on any weight during my last visit to gynae which was after the detail scan
But the scan result is fine so i am not so worried.

inc: me taking the following (Mrs Tan, same as yours)
1. folic acid
2. multivitamins (Pramilet)
3. Neurogain (fish oil)
4. Ca-Ca 1000 Sandoz (calcium effervescent tablets with Vit C)
I cant swallow big pills so gynae gave me the drinking calcium

Also told her about iron pills (which she wanted to start me with) that i cant swallow cos heard from my friend bery big. So she ask me to continue taking folic acid.
Gynae say can stop taking my multi-vit once i finish my current bottle

viola tan: got discount for UOB ah? good good..cos i got UOB card. wat do u wear for the prenatal yoga class? i was thinking of wearing loose t-shirt & loose pants. need to wearh sports shoes anot? do i have to buy yoga mat? did u attend the yoga lessons every week?
gals: i taking the following supplements
1. folic acid (frm gynae- took it for the whole 1st trim and finished the whole bottle when i was in my 17th weeks/18th weeks)
2. Multivitamins (frm gynae - taking it currently)
3. Calcium pills (frm gynae - taking it currently)
4. Fish oil (frm gynae - taking it currently)
I can't remember the brand of each supplements but i remember the multivitamins are bright pink in colour and the calcium pills are whitish grey in color. I took the multivit and calcium pills 2.5hrs after my breakfast (cos i drink fresh milk every morning...so have to take the calcium pills at least 2 hrs after drinking milk if not milk will affect the absorption of the calcium pills) then for the fish oil, i was told to take it in the evening..so most of the time, i take it after i finished my dinner.

Garfield,
the discount only if it's the Ladies card...the rest of UOB cards think cannot lor.
I actually requested to pay after the class cos' i wanted to see if i like the class...if yes, then pay the package, if no, then I pay the trial fee of $28 lor.
As for attire, anything that's comfy...dun need to wear shoes and they provide all the accessories, eg. mat, blanket...i've been going every week cos' it's quite a good form of exercise for me...I see a no. of MTB with big stomach who can still do a lot of the stretching, very motivational!

eh MC, Puea,
if ur gynae never give u calcium / neurogain pills, no need to get from gynae one. just go to NTUC unity, can get from there. cheaper some more! For my 1st batch of supplements, gynae gave me, but when i finished it, i went to NTUC Unity to replenish. Its the same mah.
For calcium pills, can get Calcium Caltrate (pink bottle) kind, 60 tablets.

MC, how abt soyabean milk?
I usually drink soyabean milk (without syrup) instead of milk cos i scared of fat...
kopi is not good for baby... dun drink too much lor. My mum even asked me not to drink green tea, cos she saw 1 article on newspaper, saying that preggies should not drink green tea, it's not good for baby.
So I stop drink whatever tea also... so miserable, can oni drink milo and milk now.

Hello all! It has been a long time since I login to this thread
Read thru the postings. Am glad that all of us are doing fine.
Some update from me. Into my 20th week this week. Got to know it's a boy after my detail scan. Hmm.. i will be delivering at TMC and had signed up for the Childbirth Education Class. I think comparing TMC and MT A, TMC would be a better choice lah.
Are all of you going to BF? am thining when is the first feed to the bb. Right after the delivery or the first fed to the bb will be FM by the nurses?

Tao_baby: i understand how u feel. I also expectg a bb gal but i can senses that my mil is abit disappointed.
initially, when i told my mil that doc said my bb shld be gal..my mil said:' oh...so early can confirm liao ah? (cos that time i only abt 16 weeks). then she said...now bb so small not accurate wan.'
then one day while we were chitchatting, my mil suddenly said to me:"my sis's who and who hor pregnant and doc said bb is a gal...but when she gave birth...bb is a boy.so hor...i think not accurate wan. doc usually not that accurate.usually when doc said bb is gal...the bb will turn out to be a boy lor. so i dun believe the doc."
i then told her...no, doc confirmed 100% bb is a gal..then my mil said: "huh? oh...ok lor."
act all along i wish to have a gal.. but on the other hand, i know my mil and hubby prefer a boy....so subconsciously i also hope to have a boy..at least if my first child is a boy, then the next bb i not so stress. but a gal is ok with me too...
so kinda affected by my mil's comments lor...though she din really say it out loud that she wants a boy...but can feel her disappointment from the things she said.
i kept asking my hubby if he minds bb is gal...lucky he is understandg. he said he doesn't really mind just tat he prefers to have boys so that next time dun have to worry too much abt them being 'eaten'! (not sure if he really meant it or he just want to console me)...
anyway...i nowadays dun think too much liao...i act went thru quite a hard time to concieve this bb gal of mine...so i looked forward to having her in my arms soon....keep telling myself to be cheerful...a gal or boy is still my flesh and blood

garfield: dont think too much cos it will affect BB's mood too. as long as your hubby supports u and i guess its your first child, boy or girl doesnt matter.
I just have a situation that came up. Originally MIL going to do confinement for me. Now due to some issues, I have to source for my own confinement lady.
Was thinking to approach TMC. Any gals doing the same??

Morning everyone!
MC: OK, then I got to check with my gynae next week whether I need to take extra calcium or iron.
He has not explained to me anything abt my blood test ley. Only called me when the report is out & said everything is ok, baby got no Down Synd, that's all.
garfield: Yes, that's the positive thinking!
Keep it up! After all, boy or girl still our flesh & blood wat... not ur mil ones...
But at least ur mil didn't say any embrassed things in front of you... dun worry... my mil is even worst, b4 we know the baby sex she oredi "warned" me she wants a boy though she oredi has 3 grandsons...
Kind of pressures...

my gynae also didn't say much but I asked her - how come i'm not taking iron pills - then she said cos' blood test shows rbc level was good.
My heart goes out to those of you who face pressure regarding gender of your bb.. in this age and time, I'm sad to hear there's still so much prejudice.. anyway, i know that ultimately when the bb is born, the older folks will come to accept them whether boi or girl.

Fresia & the rest,
I just read from the June thread (i think), that one of the girls there gave birth at TMC and she was so disappointed cos the condition of the delivery bed was bad. The pedestal where u placed ur 2 feet on when u lie down was making noise and squeaky, like very old. So she wasnt too happy. but I guess not all rooms are like that lah. I also more or less might choose TMC leh.

Thks all for Welcoming =)
Hi Jenifur,
Ya,admit i'm abit far too late. (blush!)
Initally, when i found out i'm pregnant again( I m/c my 1st), i can't wait to share my happiness here with u guys.
However, the past bad exprience did casted a shadow on me and the fear is always there. I tok maybe i shld wait until i past my 1st trimester.
This current pregnancy wasn't so smooth sailing either. I bleed again during my 10-11wks,and was
kinda dishearten. Thinking history may gonna repeated itself. Fortunately, everything turn up well 'phew'. =)

I think bb is ger or boi is still a blessing to us so we must all be happy with what we going to have. Imagine there are still alot of couples trying hard to have a baby irregardless of the gender.
mrstan, i think cannot travel after week 32..but better confirm with your gynae lah. But its a good idea to go short holiday during National Day huh...can go Malaysia or Bangkok?

yes, an increase in light yellow discharge n it's common. Make sure it doesn't smell too bad tho'.. I dont know if there's more when i walk but definitely more. my gynae says it's expected.
You can read up more on www.babycentre.com
or click on http://www.babycentre.co.uk/refcap/270.html
if it doesn't link, go to Home>Pregnancy>Antenatal Health> search for vaginal discharge and it will point u to it.
