Mrs Tan: dun worry too much.. i guess our heart is beating harder to support another life bah.. if worry maybe get let ur gynae know see if need to refer to heart centre a not.. since u had this problem for quite sometimes liao should be ok one lor..
for my case, i have heart murmur.. had this since secondary school.. that time the school did sent me to SATA to do checkup.. after which they discharged me say nothing wrong.. then during my first appt, gynae say the murmur very loud better to do a proper checkup so refer me to heart centre.. did ECG n heart ultrasound.. lucky everything ok n heart centre discharged me.. the doc at heart centre said could be due to pregnancy thats why the murmur is louder than usual..

kuririn,
ya i just called my gynae and he suggested going to gp to do ECG. i think i shld lor, just to have a peace of mind. i am very easily nervous and kancheong so it adds to it too.
wats the diff betwn heart palpitation and heart murmur? wat do u actually feel? ya i did read that preg women have faster heartrates cos heart needs to pump harder..but then its scary leh, esp when this whole day its been skipping a beat or just suddenly beat fast fast..i get very very breathless.

Mrs Tan: i feel normal lor.. i still do sports as usual when first dignosed lor.. A heart murmur is an abnormal blowing, whooshing or rasping sound in the heartbeat. It is the result of vibrations caused by abnormal (turbulent) blood flow patterns.
i also start to feel breathless liao.. esp walking for a distance or walking up a few flights of stairs..

Hi SusanY,
If your clothings are too tight for u now, it's better to change. If not, u will feel very uncomfortable. It's better for u and ur bb if u wear something more comfy.
Hi Celine,
That's really mean of your colleagues to pass such remarks. Ignore them, lah!
BTW, thanks for the info on yoga. I'm interested but the timing is not good. I can only make it on Thursday and it's kinda of rush for me cos I finish work at 6pm. By the time I "dilly dally" here and there a bit, 6plus liao.
Mrs Tan,
Congrats on ur little prince!

Btw, just wanna ask if we preg women need to do regular self-check on our breasts? cos i used to check every month for lumps and wat not. but since preg, never check liao cos its overall so sore and sensitive. just concerned....
another thing, besides taking tonic 'bu' soup, wat else do u all take? for birds nest, where do we buy from ah? any chinese medicinal shop is it? we can all start taking now rite?
sorry for so many qns early in the morn... hee hee....

My MIL told me not to take the tonic 'shi san tai bao'coz not everyone can take, some take oredi got side effects...better confirm with your gynae or a reputable chinese physician okie..
My mum recommends to take 'pao sen' and red date soup once a week instead and drink soyabean milk daily. Other than that, I believe a well-balanced diet + multivit pill is more than sufficient to ensure a healthy bb..
Btw, I confirmed with gynae birds nest is harmless but has never been medically proven to be beneficial neither...so its really up to individual lah ..

Just wondering.. are all ante-natel classes the same?
I'm with NUH and was told that I should go for antenatel classes before I'm 5 months pregnant?.. They are charging $130 for each 2 hour session and there are about 6-7 sessions..

Hi
My MIL has told my hubby that she will do the confinement for me. My initial plan was to let her take over from 2nd mth onwards cos dont want to tire her out.
But she told my hubby that she will move in with us to take care of BB 24 hrs then move back home once BB 2nd mth. (since its her first grandchild)
Discussed with hubby. maybe she can continue to come once 1st mth over, during day time (since she not working) to company me and BB. and night time i take care lor.
In this case, I'm thinking of getting a maid but i am not sure if i really want to do that cos me not working so i dont wish to burden on hubby's income alone.
Any idea if there is those PT maids that comes on alternate days to help clean and wash the house and laundry?
Currently there is one that comes as and when I need her cleaning service(usually once a month) and she charge $10 per hour. (min 3 hrs)
Any recommendations?

Hi Nuttnuts,bu hao yi shi,as i am working shift, it will be difficult to make routine time for the antenatal classes. Ur go ahead ba...
SSL: i am currently engaging a hse cleaning co. to clean up my hse once every 2 weeks. For 5room, it charges $110 and two cleaners will come at one time. So far quite good, cleaners are reliable.

breakbeats: I'd love to go leh but I've got to stay home to keep my 'ngiam ngiam' daughter company. My hubby feels inadequate taking care of our girl alone in the evenings cos she has to be plastered to me esp at night. And bringing her out so far in the evening is out of the question cos I'm sure I'll be spending more time chasing after her than sitting down with all of you. Sigh...
Btw, do any of you gals know if it's ok to take vinegar ah?? These days I'm hooked to the Lay's salt and vinegar chips. Wah V shiok leh!!!

mrstan: ECG? Are you ok now? I also experience fast heartbeat during the past weeks. But i just ignore it cos it not causing any problem for me. Just iritating to hear the heart beating faster than usual. Also, can be quite lound when i'm alone in the room...
Anyone delivering at TMC? Do they have ante-natal class there?
Fushiastar: Better check with your gynae if can continue to take the EPO.

I have also thought of engaging a PT maid as got no time to do housework. The price they are charging me is $50 once a week for a 5rm flat....But my hb is a bit 'keow' so still considering whether to engage or not.

Hi Kris,
I also like vinegar and chilli. I think taking vinegar should be okie as it taste like 'sweet sour plum'.... I scared wait i take too much chilli my bb next time will be come 'mo bin'...

Hi Fresia,
Are u suffering heartburn? This is what I have find out from a website:
"Most likely. Many women experience heartburn for the first time during pregnancy and though it's common and harmless, it can be scary and painful. Heartburn (also called acid indigestion) is a burning sensation that often extends from the bottom of the breastbone to the lower throat. It's caused by both hormonal and physical changes in your body.
During pregnancy, the placenta produces the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the uterus. This hormone also relaxes the valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach, allowing gastric acids to seep back up the pipe, which causes that uncomfortable burning sensation. Progesterone also slows down the wavelike contractions of the stomach, making digestion sluggish. In later pregnancy, your growing baby crowds your abdominal cavity, slowing elimination and pushing up the stomach acids to cause heartburn.
Many women start getting heartburn and indigestion in the second half of pregnancy. Unfortunately, it usually comes and goes until your baby is born.
What can YOU do about it?
Though you may not be able to eliminate heartburn entirely, you can take some steps to minimize your discomfort:
Avoid foods and drinks that cause you gastrointestinal distress. The usual suspects are carbonated beverages, alcohol (which you should avoid anyway during pregnancy); caffeine; chocolate; high-acid foods like citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, mustard, and vinegar; processed meats; mint products; and spicy, highly seasoned, fried, and fatty foods.
Don't eat big meals. Instead, eat several small meals throughout the day. Take your time eating, and chew thoroughly.
Avoid drinking large quantities of fluids during meals; you don't want to distend your stomach. (It's important to drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily during pregnancy, but drink it between meals.)
Eat your last meal no later than three hours before bedtime and wait at least an hour after meals before lying down
Sleep propped up with several pillows or elevate the head of your bed with a few books or a board. Gravity will help keep your stomach acids where they should be and aid your digestion.
Gain a sensible amount of weight and stay within the guidelines your healthcare provider suggests.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing; avoid any tightness around your waist and tummy.
Bend at the knees instead of at the waist.
Don't smoke (again, this is a habit you should break before getting pregnant).
An over-the-counter antacid that contains magnesium or calcium may ease discomfort, but check with your prenatal caregiver before taking one because some brands are high in sodium. You should also check in with your healthcare provider if none of these suggestions eliminates the problem. "

Ladies,
for those interested in MAH's antenatal class, i've called them up b4 for details.
a) for us due in Oct, they recommend us to start
the classes only in July.
b) the prices are $126 or $147, depending on whether you are giving birth there. If you are, you need to arrange with your gynae so that they can charge you the lower rate.
Breakbeats,
thanks for reminding. Can't make it this time cos' my BIL having his ROM that day, going to be a big family affair!

aical: since you're not a 1st time mum, maybe i shd consult you abt baby's movement. i think i feel baby. is the feeling like some bubbling effect inside the tummy; at different areas (sometimes right, left and centre)? i have this feeling a few times throughout the day; even now as i'm typing. sometimes when i listen to music or when i talk to him, i'll feel it. when i lie down on bed and change position, i'll feel it too. is it baby's movement?

Hi gals,
Just to let u know that we can go for antenatal class as early as the beginning of second trimester. My friend who gave birth last year said she went during her early part of second trimester. Well, if your hospital does advise u when to go, I guess it's better to stick to that schedule (just in case we forget abt the content??)
Hi breakbeats,
Would love to join all of u in the first gathering but I need to check my calender again.

Hi breakbeats,

Aical: I was like you when my girl was much younger but I've learned that I MUST make time for myself occasionally. I still do go out with my frens but that's like maybe once in 3 to 4 months. Otherwise I try to invite my frens or my hubby's cousins and their children (same age as my girl) to come over. It keeps me sane and happy. I can sense your frustrations and fatigue.
Why dun you try to just meet up once with your close fren(s)?
And I think I can feel my bb's movements already. Not very often but it feels like a very distinct light jab sometimes.
Sneaky: Yes liow loh! You are feeling your bb's movements! Congratulations!
Fresia: I've been having heratburn from day 1 of pregnancy.
V cham... until now I think I still feel full from last night's dinner... I drink peppermint tea (only peppermint, without any black tea leaves in them) and it helps me with the gas. My gynae gave me the go ahead with it. maybe you wanna try? I drink the Crabtree & Evelyn one cos I think they're the only one with pure peppermint tea. The Lipton one seems a bit strange vos it turns a very dark colour after just a while of steeping.
Everyone: It's V V V V super HOT right???

Fresia,
TMC has a very good antenatel class package.. you can go online to have a look at it, or if you leave your email address, I can email you the package.. Briefly: $140-180 for 6 sessions 2 hours each..
Have finally clarified the NUH package.. It's after 20weeks pregnant, $130 for 8 sessions 2 hr each..
Can't decide on the NUH or TMC antenatel package.. Have heard that TMC offers one of the better antenatel packages around but my gynae is with NUH..
Have also checked about EPO, safety during pregnancy is unknown..so I'm not going to take it..

Like that means alot of food cannot eat. Practially everything leh,unless home cook food. But how to have home cook food when we are all working
Kris: It's very uncomfortable indeed. Can't eat much. Actually 1 whole day i only had 3 meals. Usually after taking lunch, i will be so full and dinner will have no appetite liao. Can have other flavour? Peppermint not nice leh...i tried the lipton's once and it taste horrible. I can't imagine this heartburn thingy will last till we give birth. boo.. hooo....
fushiastar: yes, pls email me [email protected]. Thanks.
Sneaky: It's so wonderful... can feel the movement liao
Kuririn: Glad that all's ok for the scan
But don't take too much ginger.. will cause jaundice.
