[baby_joan]

SSl, My doc also got let me keep a copy for each scan.. the first scan and now second scan i also keep
maybe u should ask for it.. try asking for previous scans when u go for appt.. they can photocopy for u one.. dun shy leh... its nice to keep.. hee
Girl, thanks for your recommendation too.. i will go see see tom.. hope can get something

Fun, my mama say durian cannot eat cos baby will have "cao(4) tao(2)" [scalp problem] after birth... i got it when i was a baby.. thats my mama theory
But i also heard peolpe say before eat durian good.. but i dun dare to try...

ling, my hubby read from babycenter website that sleeping on the left side is the best.. cos it promote blood flow to the placenta and also our kidney will be able to get rid of body waste more efficiently

Manuka, my mil also boiled barley for me.. she say china barley can... the normal one cannot

 

[mayng]

Joan: ya.. my hubby reads till his eyes gng to pop out liao... see liao bbcenter, lots of thigns cant eat.. aiyo.... but some i eat little bit.... not alot... i tot durian ok to eat... try coconut after 7 mths.. heard good n easy birth

Hi Cyn

Thanks for your concern

sorry i gave u a scare.


Mrs Tan

thanks for your reassurance. Just hope that gynae willing to do for me. I no printout leh. Only printout of BB showing the CRL (which is what i will normally get at my usual gynae during each visit)

Dr Ang charge me $50 for NT only? maybe thats why no report?? he did input the 1.6 into his computer and got the risk factor but he didnt print out anything for me though.


Hi Fun

Me not wearing bra at home cos dont feel comfortable. But if breast gets bigger and heavier next time, i will probably wear those cotton ones. I bought one beedees one, very comfy

I think for now, maternity bra should be sufficient. Even normal bra is ok if it can still fit u. The lady at Spring told me that their nursing bra is the cheapest. Cant remember how much liao.


Hi Jenifur

I bought my bra ext at Spotlight. But i think slightly more exp than Fun's price.

Hi Joan

Oh, I got all my U/S printouts from my regular gynae. Its the NT report that I'm referring to

Hope you will find something nice to buy.

 

[mrstan]

Jenifur,

i bought 1 size bigger bras for myself. Cos my old ones all too tight to wear and causes red marks on my skin when i remove them at the end of the day. Its still too early for maternity bras so i didnt get those. But i think as ur breasts are going to keep growing from now on, we might have to keep changing the size every 3 mths like that? I bought no underwire kind and thin padding cos my boobs already feel so heavy now.

 

[jamci]

Mrs Tan, you better change your bra soon especially u said got red marks. Your breast is expanding to produce more milk glands so it is advisable to change to adjust your cup size.
I also upsize all my bras during 2nd month. All the old ones cannot wear liao.
Think now i still got to upsize again but this time i will be buying nursing bra.

 

[mayng]

jamci: must change so immediate? i still wearing old bras... but its like gng to burst out of it soon manz

 

[jamci]

Ling, it's advisable to change if really show those red red marks. If not you will feel sore at the end of the day.

 

[catmiew]

good morning mummies.. =) me going to see doc on 14th apr.. finally!

saw all your posts and makes me gan cheong for all of you. so exciting.. =) my edd should be late nov/early dec. not so fast as you all.

i still eating a lot. think i should be one of the lucky ones without vomitting signs.. that happened to my sister-in-law too.. she was doing bus-chasing, running up and down, fell down at 8th month oso ok!

 

[mayng]

Jac: kekek still early... kkekeke.. so u wont have MS as yet.. dun say too early.. if u dun have MS, better dun say, taboo.. :0 .. like me i dun have MS till after 8 weeks... i tel u.. aiyo.. u like buddy to toilet bowl manz

 

[mrstan]

Jamci,

thanks. yes i bought some new bras liao...cos my old bras were way too tight...until cannot breathe like that. and the cups too small also. Ya, for u, its the right time to buy nursing bras, i think i will only buy ard 3rd trimester like that. Now that i've changed to bigger bras/cups, i feel so much more comfy. and i have stopped wearing pants liao.

 

[relaxfun]

Mrs Tan

I might wana try getting normal padded bra instead of nursing ones.. not padded very ugly looking leh

I feel tat i'm eating more and more liao leh... like last evening i ate dinner abt 7pm.. was realli full, and at about 10pm i feel like having Mac fish burger already! And i actually ate the whole burger!!

Jac,

Eat more now while u still can

u wil nv know when it will strike u...

Take care!

I will be visit my gynea next monday.. i've changed the appointment 1 week ahead wanted to see my baby sooner yea! 4 mths soon!!

Wow Mrstan,
you're very capable with cooking... so healthy too. Can't imagine how one can have energy to cook every day after work.
sigh... my tummy is also tight. Have u shortlisted some creams for preventing stretch marks?

Ladies,
if yall know of any preggie talks/seminars coming up, do let us know.

 

[baby_joan]

Hi SSL,

I went down to perfect mum at the arcade today.. Hee
Got a pair of pants, a skirt and 3 tops.. total $200
The salesgirl service very good leh.. thanks for the recommendation..

 

[manuka]

MTBs... any idea if we can go for hair treatment?

 

[icefire]

Wah.... so many postings to catch up on.

Whew.... so glad to be back. Was in Vietnam for the past few days. Nightmare.

Enjoy the weekend gals!!! We deserve it

 

[mrstan]

Tidyfairy,
no lah, i only cook when i stay at my parents place. cos they away on holiday so i have to take care of dog. otherwise usually its my mil who cooks everyday.
you mean u havent bought any stretchmark cream??
i long bought mine (called Mustella) when i was abt 6 wks and have been applying everyday. better start now girl!!

btw girls, i bought Young Parents Baby yest. take note that there is another mag called Young Parents. Thats not the right one. Get the YP Baby one, March issue.

 

[tao_baby]

hmm...my gynae only said cannot dye our hair... but hair treatment shld be okie la i tink....

My mom also told me not to drink so much of barley and chestnut water as they are too liang, but my MIL often boiled them and expect me to drink...she always said it is ok to drink some....so imagine that i have been drinking it fr beginning till now...gosh...

Also heard that all kind of tea drinks shld be avoided...esp for us still in the 1st trim.

Hi Jenifur: can you update my EDD as 24 Oct, thks.

[whitefloral]

hi

cannot drink barley? Both mum and MIL made barley with bai guo, saying drink a bit is good, so I still drink.

Have been drinking tea, dont know what else to take coz I need a hot drink after throwing up. The blackcurrant and lemon tea works well for me, very soothing.

Mrs Tan, yah, my tummy feels big and tight too after a meal. Actually realise the tummy gets bloated and bigger towards end of the day and the bump goes down when I wake up next morn.

Need to buy new bras too, mine also starting to get tight, today when I took them off after work, could feel the soreness in the breasts.

do u guys know if we can take bird's nest with pao shen?

 

[whitefloral]

jenifur

have not been logging on past few days. Was catching up with postings when I saw the EDD list. Thanks for updating.

 

[ssl]

Hi whitefloral

Its ok to take some barley. drink it while hot. my mum also make for me occassionally cos she say we pregnant very easily get heaty so after 1st trimester can drink some barley.

 

[ssl]

Hi girls

Any one know if its ok to go for facial? i know try not to have extraction and shoulder massage. But what about the products they use leh?

 

[ssl]

I called up to check with the aqua aerobics contact I was given. She charge 1 session (45mins - 1hr) for $80 and its one to one.

But if we have 6 person, she charge $120 for 3 sessions.

She told me she will usually teach 2 - 3 lessons and then we can do it on our own.

Its conducted at the pool at St Gregory Spa at Novena Square. Sat around 11am.

Not sure if its expensive or not.

 

[mayng]

SSL: count me in one pax... maybe u try to ask who wan... so we can organise one group of 6.

 

[mayng]

today went check up... here's my little noti bb.. swimming while my gynae trying to scan.. aiyo.. bb got so much movement.. .. so funny.. kekeke... find it so amazing..

 

[wtp]

Ling, so cute... can see the bb very clearly...the last time I went for me scan, my bb moves so much that the scanned photo is blurred.

 

[mayng]

winnie: mine bb too leh..move n move..swimming inside.. hubby n i both laughing.. over the bb.. so funny..

 

[ssl]

Hi Ling

Sure, will see who else wants to join. Not sure if the teacher good or not but i think if we got 6 pax, at least its cheaper.

Btw, how many weeks are u into now? me 13 weeks today.

Whow your BB scan very clear. I also went for my checkup today. gynae said BB also moving alot. heehee then after a while, gynae said BB sleeping now. so cute. Also got to hear BB's heart beat today.

Oh i asked my gynae if its ok not to drink Annum, she say as long as i'm getting my calcium and folic acid in other forms, its ok. Cos she knows alot of preggies cant take such milk lor.

Winnie,

sometimes scan is blur maybe you didnt empty your bladder?? I find that if i empty my bladder before i go in, the scan photo turns out clearer.

Any girls have the same experience?


Me now trying to find cheap bottoms cos only got a few maternity ones to go around. Last time can still tong and wear those old A-line long skirt cos its bigger but now tummy bloated so feels uneasy when sitting down.

 

[mayng]

SSL: me into my 11 week now... bb was moving hands and moving up n down... find it very amazing.... kkekee.. cant believe it. dun worry if its good or not... u never try u never know let me know ya.. interested in joining.

today gynae try to do the tummy scan, but dunno why can see.. still gng for the plevis scan... kekeke.
