Ruff,
what's FA scan? i only know Detailed Scan at week 20 plus.
I'm going for it and since there is interpretation by my gynae and a followup visit to read the scan report, she advised tat my HB go along too. I dont think it'll be waste of time. I arranged to be 1st patient to scan so hope it cuts down time. Here's something that may interest u.

Hi poshbb,
I had very sharp pain in my lower abs too last week! I was getting out of the car, and then it was so pain I couldn't walk. It lasted a couple of mins only though. I tried to walk a little, but bent over. Got home and quickly checked my book and discovered it was normal. phew. now ok already, but occasionally pain lor.
Here's what I found on the website:
Round ligament pain is generally a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting, dull ache that you may feel on one or both sides of your lower abdomen or deep in your groin, usually starting in your second trimester. It happens when the ligaments that support your uterus in your pelvis stretch and thicken to accommodate and support its growing size. You may feel a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting up from a bed or chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. Or you may feel a dull ache after a particularly active day, if you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity. Call your caregiver if this discomfort continues even after you've rested.

Mrs Tan:
PoshBB: That's good to hear..
SusanY:
Yeah, I spent $345 in total so far.. $120 on 7 outfits for this time where I'm too large to fit into my old clothes but too small to wear my maternity clothes, $123 on 7 larger bras and so far $102 on 4 maternity going out dresses and 2 maternity stay at home dresses.. I think I need at least 7 outfits of each kind in total cos we do laundry once in 3-5 days, If not, not enough clothes to wear.. Actually if you break it down, it's not that much per piece.. But it all adds up to so much.. Still need to buy another 3 going out maternity drersses, Plus still have to buy larger panties, whch I still haven't gotten yet and a good pair of shoes from hush puppes or scholl or clarks that will cost between $50-100.. My own price estimate is about $500 on just my own clothes and shoes.. I'm also using stretch mark cream- the Palmers cocoa butter one and Johnson's baby milk lotion..
My cost estimate for having a baby is $8.5k..
Hospitalisation and delivary charges: $5k, Antenatel class:$140, Baby needs (including breast pump, pram, car seat, cot, clothes, bottles, sterilizer, nappies/diapers, milk powder): $1k, Confinement lady:$1800, My clothes and shoes: $500. Total=$8340..

Dear fushiastar,
I do prefer to use the CL that anybody that has used before. I dun mind to have the contact for the confinement lady so that I can KIV her first in case I really can't find. Can you e-mail me the contact at [email protected]. What will her charges be and do I have to apply work permit or something like that, can you advise me???
Poshbb,
Glad to know that you are alright....Me too feel the same, sometime over-reacted... After that incident happened to me, a little bit, a little bit, I will call my gynae up to check up. There is one time, I called up my gynae and the nurse pick-up, I told het that I want to ask the gynae something instead of going down to see him. I asked her do you find me panaroid. She told me that "it is okie. Pls do come down and see him to ensure that you are safe." This made me feel better instead of Paiseh...

Hi MC,
Thanks!!!
everybody's pregnancy is different and some are healthier than others but I think if you are generally healthy, and your doc does not warn you against any particular type of food, it's fine if you take pineapple or watermelon even tho' they are considered cooling as long as you dont overdo them like eat them every day or eat till your tummy cramps. I am still taking these 2 fruits and I'm fine. in fact alot of pregnant mothers have constipation because they don't take enough of fruits (so many fruits we take considered as cooling)..durian is great as long as you are not overeating it. Some people say don't take carrot or papaya because it may lead to jaundice but jaundice is not caused by "carotene" in these orange fruits. Jaundice is caused by excessive bilirubin in the blood and usually affects infants because their liver is not fully developed.
its all depends how much Old Wives' Tale each and everyone wanna follow. well, if one chooses to trun a deaf ear, i guess its normal cos minority tends to ignore. But what if those Old Wives's Tales do happen? gng to pt the fingers later? well... i think some in laws will tell u how much to take note and how much to follow. Gynae says.. everything u can eat and drink... when i ask gynae again at a later stage, the replies again differ... well... its all abt ur own belief, to follow or not. Not all fruits are cooling, take a little is ok and of cos like u say.. excessive wont be good. Watermelon is far too cooling.. so better to avoid. hmmm be safe than sorry.
good morning everyone!
i started having durians only when i've reached 2nd trimester...it shd be quite nourishing for baby...
yesterday went shopping at kiddy palace and bought sterilizer, nappy guard, nappy liners, long pants, mittens and booties...they are having 20% discount storewide leh...hurry...go shop...

ya, when I was coughing some time back, i had to stay off many fruits esp watermelon cos' it made me cough alot.. but once i recovered, i find ok. If i take heaty fruits then i have to be careful they dont give me sorethroat otherwise sick again and got to take medication.. but my fave fruit so far is mango and I eat it with cooling fruits and drink lots of water..
Sneaky - how long is the kiddypalace discount on for? i was there a few weeks back but didn't buy anything cos' not sure wat to get..

Nuttnuts,
I accidentally deleted her contact away from my mobile... I go ask my friend for it again..
MC,
Think we are all spending quite a bit.. I just got a car seat and stroller too..
About food.. I kinda agree with PoshBB.. Different people believe in different things.. My gynae advises me not to take uncooked meats, liver and caffeine; other then that, my diet is suppose to be as per normal.. My MIL who is very traditionally chinese, has a whole bunch of can and cannot.. cannot take cold things, certain fruits.. I follow what my gynae says, cos there is a scientific reason to why she says it.. As for the rest, I just eat anyway.. Thankfully, my husband agrees with me.. I try to eat a variety of foods, everything in moderation.. I eat all fruits too, including pineapple, durian, carrot, watermelon (not much of this cos i've never liked watermelon) and papaya.. I love fruits..

MC,
I heard about that too.. I have friends who bought so many things..cot, playpen, swing, rocker, walker, pram, babysling, babysarong.. And at the end of it all, only used a few.. But my child is going to go into infantcare at 2-3 months.. So I have to get a carseat and stroller, it not, cannot transport the child..

Oh, for people looking for carseats, I recommend
Britax carseats.. It's suppose to be one of the safest ones aroubd..
kurrin: sugar cane is not a cooling stuff... but at times sugar cane will let u kena this TOXOMOPLAXIS... not sure abt the spelling... is something to do with cats, which lead to miscarriage.
You Should Avoid Cleaning Cat Litter Boxes. You Should Avoid Uncooked Meat.
Both cat litter and undercooked meat present the risk of <font color="ff0000">toxoplasmosis</font>, which causes birth defects.
if this TOXOPLASMOSIS is found in sugar cane, u will have bad tummy ache n then leads to misaccarriage too..
i have a gf dun believe... i told her dun take during preggie.. she went ahead, after tt a bad tummy ache... from then on she see sugarcane.. she siam.
like usual, up to one to choose to believe. dun believe then try lor.

Just to add about toxoplasmosis, it's caused by the toxoplasmosis parasite.. I'm not sure about sugarcane , but it is mostly found in cat faeces, possibly in meat that's not completely cooked and unpasteurized milk. It can cause misacrriages, early delivary, still births and birth defects..

MC,
Yup, we actually shortlisted 4 places within 15 minutes drive of our home and went to see all 4.. It came down to 2 places, both were not ideal, but 1 is highly recommanded by my husband's cousin who sent both her children there and also has good reviews in another thread.. We decided on that one.. It's quite important to go and tour the facilities.. Then you get a feel of the caregivers, the babies, the program that they have.. The decision on which infant care was made quite easily after we had a look ..
SusanY
I'm trying to financial plan.. So keeping track.. Yep, it isn't cheap to have a baby..
