Good morning all mummies,

It's Monday again, so sianzzzz.... why weekend is always so short?

Krissie,

That one i am not too sure. But heard if we combine both NT and blood test should be the same. Have to check with gynae on this.

Cookie,

Is it your first pregnancy? Well, i feel the same as you, cos i didn't sleep well at night, then weekend after breakfast i will go for nap, that was the time i got some sound sleep. But then yesterday after dinner i asked my hubby to accompany me for a walk, cos i am overweight liao. We walked for about half and hour, then i think i feel much better after that. May be you should start doing some light exercise, like walking for half and hour. I intend to do it every night after dinner now. Must watch out my weight now.

As for me im same as u, i can eat very well. It good not to worry.

 

[nyny]

[baby99lon]

HI All.

Which website do u all go to see bb weekly development.

 

[nyny]

wah clare, your appetite is really good!!! my colleague said i seemed losing weight.... i didn't weigh myself too. but i know i didn't gain much weight 'cos i puked 2 - 3 times a day, the amount that i puked is getting more and more. think the whole meal is out....
sorry for making you gals disgusted.

 

[happypiggy]

Pochacco,
Me tell myself cannot like that think oh or else will end up no control over eating...

Yah can eat better than cannot eat... but will suffer later loh coz lots more fats to shed after give birth = P

[cleo]

confused
you rest lah.. can shop next time... good to hear that the discharge has stopped.

Yuen yuen
Poor thing, I also can't sleep on some nights. Now even worse, got nose congestion. Aiyo.. sometimes, I'll wake up in the middle of the night, coz I can't breathe.

Celeste
Congrats.. I also had mild depression at the beginning of preg, maybe coz I feel that I'm very fat &amp; ugly.. now that my weight gain is under control, I feel better.

hope you'll feel better too.

Clare
I also snack in the afternoon... esp, if my lunch was not satisfying. hee hee.. we're the same..

Ivory
If it's intense pain, then, I think have to see doc leh. Safer lah.

 

[taka]

Sunny,

Usually MS will dissappear after first term. But it also depends on individual.

Cookie, Confused and Yuen Yuen,

Glad to know that there are more than one 3 series in this thread. Hahaha... well, i think it is important that we start a family when we are more ready, in terms of financially and mentally. My eldest sis only became a mother when she was 35. So it is never too late for us !!

Celeste Blur,

Welcome to the thread. I think it is normal to have mood swing. But just try to think for the bb, the bb can feel our mood swing. That is true, so try to control our temper. I know it is easy to say then done. Now when i am angry i will try to calm myself down. Else next time the bb will be like me.

Clare,

Well, if you are very petite, i think you can afford to put on more weight. For me i got the fat genes, easily to put on weight type. So must control my diet now. Gynae said there is no excuse for eating for two. But this type of thing very hard to say, some people no matter how much they eat, they can't put on weight. Wish i am like them.

 

[happypiggy]

Hi Taka,
Me not the petite size, though considered tall &amp; relatively slim up to this point but I have fatty genes too coz I've ever bloated to almost 60kg within 1 year from 48kg when i was like 19/20yrs. When my colleagues look at my old photos they got no choice but to believe me when I say l'll likely to grow FATTY... coz FACE &amp; body really bloated then... now am on my way liao.... BIG SACRIFICE for my BB... BB better be good! hahaha....

 

[confusedgal]

sunny - oh paiseh! juz now went for a nap. oic. i oso frighten lor but at the same time a lot of work to do. Last thurs afternoon when i realise i bleed -flesh blood i cried thought every thing gone liao(now think of it can be scary n oso very funny)

clare - ya! its good that u can eat (alot of people told me its good that a pregnant woman can eat, rather than vomiting all the time) me too can oso eat alot althought sometimes no appetite but i still force myself to eat. i oso afraid of putting alot of weight but hubby say nevermind as long as i eat , bb got food to eat. if not bb no food to eat leh

 

[nyny]

hi confused
if you don't feel good about going back office, don't go back. i told my colleague that i wanna go back to office. she told me not to worry too much, and don't short change the mc. 'cos if really *touch wood* anything happen to this pregnancy, i will definitely link in to the 'sneak' into the office during the mc loh. so, guai guai stay at home and do nothing.

 

[ivory]

<font color="0000ff">ok gals updates of my sudden visit to the gynae today

</font>

everything is perfectly normal my gynae say the pain may be due to the sac / embryo pushing the intestines away so that it can have more space to grow

last visit on 8 Jun, size of the sac measured 11mm, today measured 31mm of cos today can see the embryo liao and its size is 13mm

get to hear the heartbeat today oso poor hubby, he will have to wait until 4 weeks later for my next appt to see n hear the heartbeat cos since I visited the gynae tdy, I no need to go for my original appt next week ;p

tdy gynae really gave me a lot of supplements.. calcium , iron &amp; DHA pills n lactulose for constipation last visit he oni gave me folic acid n pills to prevent miscarriage (he oso call it the an1 tai1 yao4)

though I lost weight, my gynae say I should start wearing loose clothes liao *faint*

 

[labby]

yuen yuen
Dun regret la...

becos having BB is never too late ;P of course it's good to start early... but I think I have my good share in Er Ren shi jie with HB to build up more bond
I'm sure u too...

I dun exactly wake up in the middle of the nite, but I keep toss and turn in bed and I'm aware of every toss I made and I keep having dreams too... that's also bad enough and I'm never sound sleep in the night. I found napping early evening like from 7pm - 9pm give me better quality sleep.

celeste
I have mood swing too... sometimes can torlerate my HB nonsense... sometimes I just flare up so most of the time my HB kenan my mood swing.
Hmm... but why u feel depress??
U feel depress cos u mood swing or... your mood swing is to bring u into depression?
I think the 2nd one not healthy ley... better talk to gynae if so.

 

[red_devil]

etelle
i wear contact lens everyday to work. dun think it is a problem, unless u feel very uncomfortable.

had a scare today when i spotted 2 drops of staining.

called my gynae clinic at nuh, the nurse advised me to rest and only goes back if the staining continues. understand that it is not uncommon but keeping my fingers crossed that everything is alright. my next appt is on 8 july.

 

[etelle]

HI girls
seems like the spotting and bleeding is making everybody freak out huh. I mean my colleague told me for her 2nd child she actually bleed 2 times and still managed to keep the bb.....but she was very frightened throughout and she only 27 or 28 at that time leh...Hmmm....

I had meeting for more than half a day almost 3/4 of it and thus missing out alot on what you girls are tlaking about. I have read through it all though hee hee

Krissie
thanks for the infor hee hee went to thyme maternity at taka today but a bit hard to find clothes leh all the designs abit "auntie" hor...din manage to go spring. I think i am buying bigger clothings for brands i normally buy...not buying maternity ha ha...buy loose apnts...skirts lah....haha

 

[etelle]

Hi tulips
oooooh can wear contact lens still lah hmmmm but think me gng to make a nice pair of specs hee hee....any idea what colour frame is in now hee hee thinking of making rectangular one....

 

[etelle]

Hi cookie
me also found napping between 7pm to 9pm solid ha ha! but i try not to cuz if not losing sleep at night bed time is terrible!!! hee hee

Hi Ivory
Thank God for gynaes. If not how would we know what the pain and all is all about right? Hee Hee yah 1st time dad sure excited and more anxious about everything.

Hi celeste blur
welcome welcome. Actually i could be a feb 06 mum to be as well...GP said somewhere between 28 jan to 2 feb so i thought i joined jan 06 thread hee hee it's alright we dun mind we're sharing our knowledge here so months doesn't matter hee hee

 

[etelle]

Hi allz
i dun have the fatty genes but think i am putting on some weight but stepped up on the scale it still says the same hee hee...i ate filet burger and fries today ha ah cannot resist....have to be good girl and eat healthy again hee hee kinda sick of food liaoz...don't know what to eat...hee hee....

 

[etelle]

Morning girls
I am getting closer to my gyne appointment evry excited hee hee want to see the little one growing in me....hubby was telling me maybe i am carrying twins and even said if twins good can save the pain for delivering one time. Haha but seriously i think hvaing twins is hard to manage. Cuz at the same time u got to take care of 2 kids...you really need a helper if that's the case right? I mean well who knows....i am 8 weeks now and well tummy seem alittle big liaoz...cuz when i wear some tops and some skirts it really is tight but for some tops and skirts seem to have some more room.

I am fretting over what to buy....so sad

don't know what to buy....want to buy jeans and workwear suitable....but then ah dun want to buy more maternity want to wear norm ones leh

 

[etelle]

Yesterday just weigh myself think i put on 1 kg already so far....i m about 57kg then now 58 kg hee hee oooops....hee hee by the way ah how would doctor know your weigh of increase? i mean if you never weigh yourself and dun know how much u weigh, how would gynae be able to know then how much weight u have put on?

 

[etelle]

I am thinking of buying some stretchy sun dresses to wear leh but don't know buy from where hee hee ideas alot but don't know where to realise it hee hee

 

[happypiggy]

Good morning all...

Wet &amp; cool morning today how i wish i could sleep in...

Etelle,
I have to weigh myself &amp; get a blood pressure check during every visit to my gynae... so guess by the 2nd 3rd visit Gynae would be able to see the trend in our weight gain... like in my case hee hee...

My friend gave me her leftover half bottle of the clarins Anti-stretchmark oil which i've just started using last night after bath, this morning too rush so never put... its ok not too oily but result wise guess we won;t know until after we give birth but reviews by my friend &amp; her colleagues all say very good... so am telling myself to be guai guai &amp; diligent to apply for future bikini sake... hahah... Any one start applying already??

 

[etelle]

Hi clare
how i wish i can sleep in too hee hee oh so he will monitor the weight increase trend Mmmmm I ahven't start applying yet but thinking of trying palmer's cocoa butter from guardian pharmacy which has been said to be effctive as well....hee hee furture bikini sake ha ha
