Hi ladies!
Just dropping by to say hello! Glad to see all of you doing well.
Have decided to skip the anenatal classes and read up on my own. Since have got mom to help out, and mummy friends on stand-by, hopefully should manage ok.
I have also been taking prenatal yoga classes for the past 2 mths which have been really good in stretching those tired sore muscles. Went for prenatal massage once with my friend at SpaEsprit. But felt not worth it cos it was sooo expensive ($90 for 90mins)Also didn't feel it work as well as yoga which really work the muscles and relaxes me. Plus it's much cheaper than massage! ($135 for 4 one hour session)
My gynae was all for it, says that pregnant also must exercise the body a bit, helpful in labor and relieving those aches and pain of pregnancy. My class is really small, just the 3 of us. In the beginning, was just me alone and I had one-to-one session at group price!
My instructor gave birth 8 mths ago and I like that she explained the changes in our body during pregnancy and shared with us the labor pains and what exercise would be good for whatever aliments we raise with her and we practise those in class. It is really a slow and modified rountine from the normal yoga.
So ladies, do think about doing some form of light exercise regularly if you have not already. Can try yoga!

clee, really envy you. Was planning to enrol in yog with hb, but turn out my condition to unstable for any form of exercise. So now I'm getting so stiff and unhealthy. Walk to toilet and I pant like old Ah Ma.
I tot the maternity leave usually calcualted in weeks, so the so called 3 mths is usually 12 weeks. Do you mean soem company actually give maternity leave by calendar month? That's really nice.

Ya lor, that's why I say those company that give by claendar month better...so far only come across those that give by weeks...

I just check my company gives 84days. So if divided by 5day work week, I'll have 15wk 4days. That's better than 12wks too.
My company is also giving 12 weeks. But I will be on leave from mid October cos I still have about 15 days of annual leave and the max I can bring over to 2006 is only 5 days and gotta clear before March 2006. So might as well clear it before EDD and sit at home to wait till I pop!!
I have been getting a strange feeling/ sensation from my baby from last night to this afternoon. Feels like the baby is tickling me inside..something like someone stroking you..but from the inside. Sometimes, it shocks me..cos it happens when I least expect it. Has anyone felt this before?
Hi celtricia,venus,
My yoga class is at Virtualfit at Amoy Street. Every Thursday at 6:30pm. You can check out their website at www.myvirtualfit.com
It's close to my workplace. Somemore, everytime after class, I will head down for dinner at Maxwell Market and have yummy makan
Hi coral,
U can still do some simple stretches on your own. Like neck or shoulder roll, rotate ankle etc to help ease the strain especially since we are hunched over the computer all the time. I know how you feel. I kept away from all exercise during first 3 months become so stiff and aching all over. But I am not the disciplined type. Need to spend money on class to get me off the butt! Hee hee

Celtricia,
Really no need 2 weeks for bb jab one. Just take annual leave lah.
I think it's good for us to be on maternity in Nov/Dec cuz less disruptions to work since many of the colleagues wld be on leave as well due to sch hols

Manuka, my gynae very happy about my weight gain. His nurse say now is the time to speed up but will slow down by 3rd tri. But then when I hear that most of them don't put on so much, I start to worry leh. Cos I'm eating alot more than before pregnancy. Can't help leh, everyone just keep making me eat and when I don they'll say I'm weak need to eat more for sake of bb.
coral, i put on 5kg also..and now I am begining
of week21. Also worry I put on too much, but gynae din say anything when i see him yesterday, so I assume normal..
But when I see that bb only weight 360g, out of the 5kg i put on, then i worry also put on so much..haizz..
Think i know wat u gg thru...since preggy, everyone seems to think u shld eat for 2, somemore if they think ur body weak, then will start pushing food to u..hehe..

Ya, sometimes I eat to make them happy. Esp hb, he always smile so happily when he sees me eat, so sometimes I just eat to make him happy cos he's been vy worried over the last few mths for me and bb. But hoipefully I wont hv a hard time losing all these weight aft delivery.

Update from my FA scan today!
1) Weight gain: 2kg at 19.5weeks
2) Baby weights approx 332g
3) Pass everything
4) I'm having a GIRL! The sonographer said the legs not opened, cannot confirmed, but says 80% girl! My premonition is right! So I can go buy 4D and toto liao! kekeke... maybe I strike then no need to work liao!!
Saw baby sucking thumb, yawning and using hand to pull her legs!! haha... so cute!!
Doctor said... my placenta a bit low!!! Very worried... heard that low placenta will make late pregnancy very difficult. Coral... same as you! I have to walk like old lady too!
Doctor also said... crampy feeling is normal... as long as it's not persistent and unbearable.

Congrats Dili on your princess!!! Hope you strike 4D
Was so excited when I found out that I am having baby girl too.
To answer your question on what to wear at yoga class, I just wear a loose T-shirt and those stretchable sports pants. No need for footwear as we do the exercises barefooted. The studio provides all the equipment like the yoga mat, the bolster, the big exercise ball etc.
Hi Berlin! Yep, if you join now, we would be in the same Thursday class. The other two ladies are Japanese. And one of them just joined us 2 weeks ago so think should not be a prob if you want to sign up now. You can call them up to find out more. Oh, must tell you that they have a one-time registration fee of $35. The package is $135 for 4 sessions. I think they have 10% discount for first sign-up if you have OCBC credit card. I just signed on another 8 sessions with them and received 2 sessions free.
ps: sorry for the late reply. Such a busy day today only now can take a breather! But baby been kicking all day to remind me she's there and to take it easy.

Dili, Congrats and may you strike 4D or toto soon. Do not worry abt the low placenta for now cos doc say 75% of the situation will improve as the week pass by. Envy, you put on so little weight, but bb still weigh the same as other bb, so you hv less to lose aft delivery.
bluelips, thanks for the encouragement, I hope it's true.

Coral and Meixue,
Alot of people say say that I might blow up in 3rd trimester! So wait and see lah!
Coral,
I'm worried about this low-lying placenta, hope it'll "move" up as the womb gets bigger. I think that might be the reason why I got period-like bleeding at Wk 12.
