I've been slping on my left side, though its nt really comfortable n causing me to haf difficulty in slping.. but i tink when i've gone into deep slp, i might haf turn to my right side to slp instead.. hahaha.. so i tink i will force myself to slp on my left more..

Good morning ladies!
TGIF! Yup, the cramps can be eased by bending the toes inwards and outwards slowly a few times. Learnt during the classes. Hubby did that for me when I had the leg cramp some days ago. It worked.
Naughty, u r right..cannot move. After that, my lower limbs were painful for the whole day when I walked. It felt as if I have run for 2.4 km. haha.
welcome back dili!
Celtricia, EDD is based on first day of period but subsequently adjusted based on size of bb so maybe ur bb is bigger so they adjusted ur EDD forward

Celtricia, I was taking Anmun before I came back to Singapore...both baby and I were putting on a lot of weight. However, my doc advised me to take HL instead..so I switched to HL. I do not know whether there is any correlation .. but baby is now still gaining weight, but I am not gaining much...hmmm..just some thoughts.
Venus - were u sitting on my left / right? Please say hello the next time..easy for u to spot me, definitely difficult for me to spot u.

Good Morning Mummies,
I just came back from gynae's appt, hee hee! Finally get to see my precious one on tv again...! Was complaining to the Dr. about my leg cramp, sleeping cramp, dizziness, itchness lately... hahaha! He said pregnant woman many complaints one... Oops!!
Oh, end of the month I'm going for my Glucose / Diabetes Test cos' my dad passed away due to diabetes. Did anyone go for this test before??? Hmmm... heard have to fast overnite and take blood test every hours for 3hrs... scary man!!!
Clee, thanks for the tips! Will try to relieve my leg cramp by doing that next time... actually just now my Dr. suggested me to wear this 'special' stocking if we got frequent leg cramp specially for those who work in aircon. But i didnt buy la cos im not used to wearing stocking, my leg will perspire and pretty exp, hee!
But I bot this stretchmark cream from the clinic cos he said the one i used (PALMER which is make of coco butter) not so good. Anyway Ive stopped using that since my tummy itch =(

Aiyah... hubby fly off again liao!! it's another 1.5 months wait...
hopefully he can still recognise me with big tummy when he comes back!!
hi everyone..
meixue, I was having nausea feeling also the whole of last week. But not as bad as during the first trimester. Was wondering also why it came back. But this week ok again, so I didn't bother.
I think you must try to rest more, cos after I slept whole day last week, then I feel better.
Am going for my checkup tomm also. Feels like very long didn't go already. I think my gynae will be shocked at my jump in weight. Think I put on 5kg in this month alone. Too fast, too fast...
Hopefully, is bb grow and not i grow onli..

Nmum,
Yup. Detailed test that time, they will check whether the EDD accurate or not based on bb's size. After that dunno whether gynae will check or not. But usu not v far off, maybe 1 or 2 weeks difference?
bluelips..5 kg per month is a lot! I also seemed to gain quite a bit in these 2 weeks. Suspect I gained abt 1.5 kg based on my not v accurate weighing scale which shows that my weight fluctuates every day!

Hi hi...wah..the thread is moving so fast today. I've been the my apppointment this am, and everything is going well. Praise God
My weight gain has slowed, actually lost 200-300 grams as I had gotten "yellow card" warning for gaining too much too fast during the last visit. Midiwfe asked what I've been eating and I went on 2 weeks of salad, grilled salmon/chicken, fruits, cereal and soup - then started carbs on and off again last week. She was happy and said ok, healthy diet.
I'm supposing its true that when we eat healthy, the weight goes to the cub instead of us. Even though my over weight gain went down, but midwife exclaimed that my cub grew quite a bit.
Chin, me flying back on red eye tonight for the weekend. Going to KPO SG gynae tmrw am, just for "safe feeling". DH got meeting in SG on M and T then we're heading back here on Wed. Weather is nice now, about 26-27 degrees, think you'll like it now
oh yes, b-wax, me went for my 2nd try yesterday and seriously nearly fell asleep. I think maybe the regrowth is much sparser so can't feel as much. Also the lady used this wax that turned into "solid" after a while, my gf said that's a name for it, but it really hurts less. Think I'll continue to go as it feels so nice and "airy" w/o the excess fur. kekekeeke
Dili, realized I never gave you the gender of my cub...female cub please!

Furry - Have a good flight back! Remember to drink lots of water, and move around a lot on the plane. I am assuming you are taking SQ..so should be an ok flight. Yes, my hubby has been telling me abt the nice weather there now...still, I am glad to be back here in Singapore...only thing is that hubby is not here now.
Hi all,
I have found more cozy pals for those who are still interested. They have Noni, Maxi and Lolli. However, there's a price difference. It's now going at $38 per cozy pals. The price is high I know but if anyone interested, please pm me. I am not earning any profit as I will show receipt for all to see.
I will order only if there are more than 10 interested. If not, I shall leave it as it is...

helo mummies, most of us are approaching 30th week now, in fact myself is at week 30 and going to be at week 31 next week ..
went for my 1st pre-natal class last weekend and was told by the dietician to reduce the intake of ginger during confinement.
also was told by a fren today that not to take herbal tonics like DOM and hard liquor if we're intending to go for breastfeeding.
I'm intending to go for TBF, thus quite concern about food intake during confinement ..
but seems like traditionally, we need to eat lots of ginger & herbal tonics ..
anyone heard that rice wine will decrease the flow of breastmilk too?
please share your view. Thanks.

SusanY, I've indicated that I will like to take more fresh and nutritious foods vs those 'lor' or stewed things. But ultimately will leave it up to my mother who's not very into babycare and confinement anyway.
Chin, yup, on SQ flight, so should be ok dokie
somemore travelling with DH, lagi can "act blur" *giggles*
Ju, I did a glucose test today. Had to down 50g of glucose 1 hr before the test and took one or two tubes of blood (also ran the HIV test simultaneously). Ok la, not painful
Been trying to up my pain threshold hahaha ... self pyscho!!

Susan,
Mrs Wong advises less ginger now during pregnancy (cant rem the reason, not jaundice though..something to do with discomfort of tummy) but didnt say cannot eat during confinement. Oh for those with nausea problems, try chewing a piece of ginger. It helps
Personally, I think must eat and eat a lot of ginger during confinement.
As for wine, she said if it's cook usually will be evaporated already. As for DOM, always dilute and dont drink excessive. At night, drink little bit and go sleep is ok.

SusanY,
Ginger has a slightly stronger taste than other foods... and goes to the breastmilk. Some babies can take it, some babies can't. If you find that baby is more irritable on days you take a lot of ginger, chances are she doesn't like it. BUT anything in moderation is fine.
DOM and alcohol... my TBF friend recommends (and I read on the net too) a little alcohol at night helps to calm the mother and help her sleep better. If you're drinking in large quantities, just make sure you wait at least 2 hours before you BF. I'm planning on taking a bit of DOM or red wine before bed while in confinement.
Hope that helps... what do the rest think?

Coral, stay healthy and do come in often! HUGS

Good that you've made up your mind to TBF. Do get your hubby's full support - it's going to be very tough the first 2 wks. I had to withstand parental pressures to introduce FM for my first girl, and would have prob given in if not for my hubby.
I was advised by my pd to avoid ginger and other tonics cos my girl had breastfeeding jaundice - it's a mild, unharmful jaundice that lasts up to 4-6 wks. For normal cases I think ginger should be ok in moderation.
Dili
I would prefer to avoid alcohol totally since it passes into the BM, and bb's gut is still immature. But if you take 2-3 hrs before you latch on next, should be quite safe

You going to be delivering in SG?

Good morning ladies!
TBF indeed needs a lot of support. I heard first 1-3 days v little milk but bb can "tahan" for 3 days and by the 4th day the milk shd come in. So we must also tahan the low supply of milk for the first 3 days cuz if we supplement with FM the supply wld decrease!
Not a fan of DOM (I dont understand how come it's so SWEET) but will still take it prior to bedtime.
Coral, jia you!
hope to hear great news fr u soon
Going for gynae's visit soon. Will update all of u

Hi All Good Morning...
im working today!!!
I'm allergy to alcohol (be it DOM, red wine or beer) dunno why my body and mouth will itch or swollen/reddish when i take. Sigh... last time i got no such problem. Dunno izit due cos i've stopped drinking alcohol for a period of time then my body cannot take it or due to hormone change at age!

Hi Ladies,
Yes - me also same as Naughty and Yvonne..planning to use cloth diapers during the day..more airy for the baby..and then at night, the dispoable diapers.
Many friends of mine also recommended Enfalac. Though Similac is a bit cheaper, I heard.
Girl - yes, I am delivering in SG - at TMC.
Enjoy your weekend, ladies!!
ps. From what I heard during the antenatal class, the thing to avoid during confinement+ breastfeeding is garlic. Ginger is fine..so are DOM (3 hours b4 breastfeeding) and rice wine (in moderation and cooked.

I read that Enfaclac is good, but also read from elsewhere that it has a metallic taste that some babies dont like. So i guess can trial and error. I'm intending to use either S26 Gold or Enfalac to supplement.
I intend to use PetPet diapers (heard it's cheap and good, $7.50 for 46 pcs at Giant) in the morning and Pampers premium at night.
Some of you ladies are already in the third trimester. (i'm the lastest Nov MTB, as EDD is 30 nov, so not yet in third trimester). How's the experience with third trimester so far? very tiring or not? Any new discomfort?

Dear Ladies,
I'm back from gynae's visit!
Put on 1.2 kg from visit 2 weeks ago and a total of 8.7 kg from start till now (end of 28th wk). Gynae didnt comment anyth abt my weight or size of bb but guess it means it's fine. hahaha.
Urine and blood pressure r ok also so I think no glucose test for me
"Complained" to gynae dont always give me pic of bb's head only so he gave me a joint pic of the head and a bit of the body. Showed us his birdie also..haha..so cute. Gynae said he always focus on head and heart cuz he's looking out for water retention and heartbeat.
I also asked him can give MC for discomfort towards EDD or not..he said after 36 wks cannot give MC liao..according to labor's law. All would be treated as antenatal leave..up to co to interpret which type of leave this wld be but likely to be ML!! So I have decided to work till v near EDD..bobian. I dont want to waste my precious ML!
I already bought pampers for new born liao at carrefour for $15+. Read fr other thread it's cheap so bought a pack first.

"Complained" to gynae dont always give me pic of bb's head only so he gave me a joint pic of the head and a bit of the body. Showed us his birdie also..haha..so cute. Gynae said he always focus on head and heart cuz he's looking out for water retention and heartbeat.
I also asked him can give MC for discomfort towards EDD or not..he said after 36 wks cannot give MC liao..according to labor's law. All would be treated as antenatal leave..up to co to interpret which type of leave this wld be but likely to be ML!! So I have decided to work till v near EDD..bobian. I dont want to waste my precious ML!
I already bought pampers for new born liao at carrefour for $15+. Read fr other thread it's cheap so bought a pack first.
Meixue,
I can say for sure that it is more tiring in the third trimester than in the second. Can walk walk around a while..then need to rest. Also I get a bit breathless when I talk too fast...and I do not sleep well. I now understand why people say that second trimester is the best period...haha.. I almost forgot I was pregnant at times then.
But the upside is that you know it is your last lap. You can see the end of the journey when you will see your baby... and the baby's kicking more..and is more responsive. So that is the fun part.
Oh yes, I forgot to say.. I got the occasional nauseaous feeling even now..once in a while. Nothing too serious.
Aprilpinky - glad the check up went well.
