(2005/11) November 2005 MTBs

<font color="aa00aa">Chris,</font>
Welcome! We've got a few Dec MTBs here too.

<font color="aa00aa">Veil ah Veil...</font>
You made me laugh girl! Your topics are not frivolous lah, they're well-conceptualised!
I was laughing at the thought of our BBs having to slog for exams during exam periods!! haha... I haven't thought that far ahead! Oh well... mummy and daddy just gotta time the next one better!

Massage... it's not safe to go for any kind of massage when you're pregnant. Ladies, correct me if I'm wrong...

Exercises... I was an aerobics/gym fanatic before I got preggie. Now I'm still too tired to even think of exercise! But I hope to start swimming in my 2nd trimester. Also thinking of aqua-aerobics... but don't know lobang too. I'll ask my friends and let you ladies know!
 


Thank you for your warm welcome, ah FAT, Celtricia and Dili_Mummy.

I am currently seeing Dr Lawrence Ang and plan to deliver in TMC. Did my first visit 10 days ago and saw baby's heartbeat but couldn't hear..next visit will be next Friday....looking forward to it.
happy.gif


just have one question to ask: since we scan our baby everytime we visit the Dr, is it safe to have ultrasound scan so frequenly?
 
Ladies, actually we can combine the nov MTB n dec MTB as 1 thread loh. Then more ppl can join us mah.

Ah Fat, 'the grass is always greener there'. I believe all airline sama sama one lah. Btw, which block r u staying? I also stay in punggol.

Milk, everyday i tell myself to drink, everyday i purposely forget. Already no appetite, still must make myself go n drink milk. Sianz, right?

My cramp is abit like got u get during mense. Can cramp the whole day. Only uncomfortable lah. So, nowadays, i walked very slowly. I think my hb also can't tahan my pace.

Chris, i think it's safe to do scanning lah. I still worried my gynae dun wan to scan cos he dun charge for scanning. I eager to see bb mah.

hi Chris,
my mum was worried about too frequent ultrasound scannings that may affect the baby too, but apparently there seems to have no harm to the baby. Read here:

Hi all, wow....i don't access the web frequently, so many postings in 2 days alrdy!

My gynae is at Mt E. I haven check out if he delivers at other hospi...frens keep telling me Mt E very ex...

Hahaa...i din know there is a brand of milk tat sounds like 'Nmum'...i got tis nick cos i'm a New mum + Nov mum
happy.gif


I get a bit of cramps at times too...but go away very fast so i dun tink too much abt it...i very paranoid one...look fwd to my gyane visit each time cos then i'll b reassured my bb is ok :p
 
Joyfulhands, thank you so much for your info. At first, i am quite worried about that as i heard that some countries they recommend to scan only one or two times during pregnancy...but since our duration of scanning is only 1 to 2 mins (guess the detail scanning will take longer time), so it should be ok..
happy.gif


Dili_Mummy, thank you for adding me into the long list! :>

As for milk. I got two tins of free samples (400g each)from my first visit, can't remember the brands (from NZ), tried one of them, don't like the taste, so only drink once a week. Still prefer HL or Magnolia chocalate milk..

Veil, Dili,Venus

I did swimming until one month before my due date, I am staying in a condo. now its harder to swim becos someone have to keep an eye on my boy by the pool while I go for a swim. KKH has aqua aerobics class in their heated pool so you might want to check the schedule of their website.

I use the maternity swimsuit from Mothercare. could wear that for my whole pregnancy comfortably. got it during their sale and find that the patterns at Mothercare is less aunty than those at other maternity shops.

Dili,

my EDD for my this baby is 4 dec 05 (week 8) just went to the gynae yesterday with my hubby so that he gets to see the scan and listen to the heartbeat.
 
Thanks for the feedback, Joyfulhands and Dili mum.. I will check out the classes when i go for antenatal class at KK. ya.. thk i will check out the yoga and the aqua arobics too..

Venus, the aqua aerobics at clemeti issit for preggie mums?

Chirs, i heard Lawrence Ang is a gd doc, cuz my ex-colleague who had complications was seeing him.. i also thk ultrasound shld be safe

I also like to see bb too so my hubby and I look forward to going to doc.. i am going to see a doc at Mt A today, then my usual doc at Mt E on sat. to decide which hospital i shld give birth in..

NMum.. i am like u, doc at mt E but been hearing how ex it may be and having second tots.. which doc u seeing? I am seeing Dr. yeoh..

I am also v paranoid the first 3 mths,esp. cuz i had a miscarriage before - one which was v mysterious, we went to see one doc , saw a bit of heart beat, so she said it was ok and to return to see her only after 1 month, but i got another appt with my usual gynae and when i went, the gynae was v worried as she said the sac looked odd and ask me to see her 2 weeks later. so when i went back 2 weeks later she said no heartbeat and had to terminate.. so for the past 3 mths, i been vvv paranoid.. even like now i got a bit of jitters as i am going to see the doc later and like a bit worried of what i will find..
happy.gif
 
chris i also prefer chocolate milk.. but is it as helpful as normal milk? i dun dare to drink too much of choco milk coz mum says too sweet no gd leh.. so got no choice morning sometimes haf to force myself to drink the anmum milk.. heh..

wow.. u ladies still got time go swimming ah... after wrk not sianz liao meh? tis days i go straight hm after wrk.. dun even feel like gg out during weekends.. almost like rotting away at home.. dun tink its a gd sign.. haiz..
 
yes, Dr Ang is a good doc, i think...when i knew that i am pregnant by the positive sign from the testkit, i have no idea which doc i should go to, then i did a lot of online search and saw ppl recommend him as he's very partient and with reasonalbe charges. So we decided to visit him. He gave me "An Tai Yao" but i am not comfortable with the side effects so called him. He said it's just for reassurance. i can don't take it unless i have spotting....he even called me back few days later to check whether everything is fine with me....will be seeing him next Friday and hope that baby is growing well..

Ah Fat, ur blk very nice one. My hb n me drooling at those blk whenever we passed by there. Mine at 133. Those ugly blue blk u see along the expressway. No rooftop garden somemore.

Dili, thanks for the updates.

I think as long as got drink milk is good enough already. How abt tofu? Got calcium also?
 
<font color="aa00aa">Celtricia,</font>
The choc milk available in our supermarkets are slightly higher in fat and sugar and lesser in calcium compared to non-flavoured milk. So it's a better idea to mix cocoa into your normal non-flavoured milk, than to drink the flavoured ones...

Now in 1st trimester... too tired to go swimming (or anywhere after work!). But people all say we'll start feeling more energetic in the 2nd trimester. That's why thinking of going swimming lor.

<font color="aa00aa">Nik,</font>
Tofu also has calcium... but not as easily absorbed by our bodies. Other things that contain calcium are cheese, yoghurt, calcium-fortified orange juice and soy milk and fish with edible bones.
 
dili_mummy... mix cocoa is a better option ah.. oic.. heh.. thanks for the enlightenment.. heehee..

really ah? 1st trimester no energy den 2nd trimester will b better? hmmm.. tot should b more tired as it goes coz tummy bigger liao leh.. heh..

tis days left only 1 bermudas to wear out.. shucks.. really got to go get bottoms to wear liao.. but hubby says can wear his too.. ahahah.. whh i find a bit weird to wear it to wrk.. haiz.. so depressing... btw, wat kind of orange juice is calcium-fortifieed?
 
<font color="aa00aa">Celtricia,</font>
I buy the Florida one... it's 1.89L for $5.95 cheapest. Must buy the one that says "calcium and vitamin D"

People say we'll start feeling better in our 2nd trimester... cos no more MS... and feel comfy wearing big maternity clothes then.
 
Dili, tat time i LS, i stopped drinking dairy product till now. I also bought calcium Orange juice. But i bought tropicana. Now on sales too.
 
2md trimester,

thats when morning sickness stops or gets much less. also time for shopping becos feel less tired and baby not so heavy yet. also can see baby's arms and legs on the ultrascan so very exciting time.
 
hi veil

that one is under s'pore sport council one and just check with instructor..she say i can go but certain exercises i cannot do onli...it cost abt $65

here is the website for s'pore sport council...www.ssc.gov.sg

rochelle and joyfulhands, thanks for the info but KKH is a bit exp..consider 6 lessons abt $160.. maybe i go after this 12 lessons of aqua aerobics..
 
Just like Dili mummy, I also intent to start swimming, or practice yoga again during 2nd trimester (I was on yoga b4 preggie). Brisk walking is supposedly gd too. So now really looking forward to 2nd tri... oready planning a list of activities to do...
happy.gif


Btw I'm searching for yoga lessons for expectant moms on the net &amp; found this -> Pregnancy relaxation tips
Anyone has gd recommendations for yoga for preggies?

hi venus,
let us know how your aqua areobics lessons are after you started them?
 
Haha.. I was reading the info from the link Joyfulhands gave above. I particularly liked the last point... VEGETATE! haha... our bosses will faint!

Seriously... the Mother and Child Centre has a good range of classes too. But very expensive leh... I'll stick to the ones provided by the hospital!
 
(",)I've just started work again ytd.....
went 4 training.....
and then at night class....
keep feeling very very tired.....
(",) BUT, hor in the morning automatic 7am wake up one leh....
NO MATTER what time I sleep.....
Grrrrr... irritating.....

nik: NO GOOD lah.... coz hubby and I paying through our nose for that flat!!
 
(",)My stomach is starting to show a little.....
So ytd when I took a MRT 1 of the gentlemen kept staring at me,
and he had a puzzled look on his face......
I guess he must be thinking....
"Is this young gal (coz I look 18) pregnant OR FAT?!?"
But, still no one gave up their seats.....
kekekeekekeke
 
morning ladies...

dili_mummy, i go buy it when i go for my grocery shopping at ntuc.. heh.. hopefully by 2nd trimester i will feel better, coz my MS is becoming much frequent tis days.. has been continuous right frm sunday till yesterday though at different timings.. haiz.. n super tired..

yoz ah fat.. ur stomach showing liao ah.. i tink mine almost too.. heh.. nw wear hubby's bermudas to wrk b4 changing to uniform.. hahaha.. but its much comfortable den wearing my own liao coz tink its too tight even if i dun buckle up... tink got to go mothercare soon to buy some clothes for myself..
 
Morning ladies,

I also wake up very early in the morning. Cos my Hb going to work at tat time. But i try to go back to sleep. Nap a little more.

Ah fat, ur hse is executive 5-room is it? Mine is 5-room. I bought it when the price was at rock bottom.

My stomach still not showing yet. Yest meet some friends for lunch. (they didn't see me for almost 6 mths liao) They asked me why i seems to be thinner than b4. They expect me to be very bloated. My appetite have improved recently n i got no MS.
 
I've gone to recee for some clothes while my HB was in Sg... let me tell you what I think of the few places I went to...

1) Great world city - forgot the name of the shop. quite good working clothes, prices are reasonable

2) Perfect Mum - went to the Hougang one, quite trendy, clothes made by local seamstress. They can amend the clothes after you've given birth (at a price lah) Clothes are quite local size, prices are average only. I've got a VIP card, 15% off, better than none!

3) Mothercare - Suntec, very expensive and angmoh size. Designs are quite classic though

4) Mama Chic - Specialist SC. Designs are quite outdated, but clothes are much cheaper. If you look enuf, can find some nice ones.

5) Spring - Suntec, nice designs... prices are quite similar to Perfect Mum but more trendy.

6) Blisse - Paragon, again nice designs. But expensive leh. The pair of jeans I like costs $189!

You're back in China already? Hope your trip back has been fruitful and you've satisfied all your cravings!
 
morning ladies ~

wow! dili_mummy.. u recce almost all the shops for pregnant mummies ah.. kekeke.. thanks for sharing ur research.. hee.. but perfect mum at hougang too far for me.. me staying in the west leh..
 
I saw the advertisement two weeks ago, but have been delaying the trip... anyone been there? good bargains? is it worth going?
 
u gals are buying maternity clothes already ah? I havent started yet, cuz have been feeling too tired and too nauseous to go out. Now we're in-between stage, quite hard to find clothes right?

Another problem i'm facing is excessive salivation. So much saliva pools in my mouth that I've to spit it out every few minutes (especially at night). Am I weird or is this normal?
 
<font color="aa00aa">Meixue,</font>
It's normal to have excessive salivation. And the saliva got no bubbles one, quite disgusting. I too spit it out. But the situation has gotten better for a week already.

I've gone to a few shops but I've only bought a few pieces of clothing that I really like... still going easy now... keke... the shopping animal in me is not out yet!
 
meixue.. me juz doing research.. yet to go out shopping yet.. coz also too tired to go shopping.. heh.. tink i'll go only after my 2nd trimester..
 
Dili_mummy..

not yet leh.. kekeke.. but most likely is to find one at KKH.. my blood test results is out n i will b collecting it tml.. till den i will decide if i will b visiting a gynae in KKH.. heh.. i tink i a bit slow lah.. not coz i can tahan.. hahahaha.. but mayb after tml, my GP will also arrange a scan for me..
