missmoon, yes u r rite. Its normal 2 gain quickly as bb is growing at a faster rate in 2nd Tri. Dun worry too much. If ur gynae knows abt this & he din say not ok, then it sd be fine.
The other day only i juz worried when i still din gain any weight.
fruitee & missmoon, juz now i tapped my tummy lightly & she responses!!
Lightly kicks back 2x.
Btw, when then we wd feel regular bb movements? And when sd we panic if its irregular??

Hi Fruitee, jazz and missmoon,
my baby movement is also rther erratic. sometimes it's quite 'tame' and only occasional bubbles bursting feeling. But a few times when I yawn, the baby will kick me hard. Hahha..
Last nite, my hubby read poetry to the baby and immediately, we saw slight movement. As I was lying down, i actually saw my pyjamas below my navel area 'tilting' up and down. It's as if its the baby's heart beat. That was amazing!!!
I'm going for my detailed scan this afternoon. Wish me luck. I'm quite worried too.

jazzyjas, thanks.
i think during late 2nd tri (hv to go read up again), should become more regular. also, i cannot remember specifically which week onward movements will be lesser cos they got less room to move about then but should still feel bb's kicks - this shld be in 3rd tri
anyone feeling more ditzy these days? my memory is really getting poorer

dear - maybe ur gynae means gain too fast...
only 1 visit apart - u gain 4kg. but of cos, hv to see how far apart are ur 2 visits.
think at 2nd tri.. the ave is abt 0.5kg per week.
so in a mth, shd only gain abt 2kg.
so far, mine weight gain is those steady steady one... now i see my gynae every mth... ave weight gain is 1+kg. so think it's ok.

Hi Jazzyjas,
Sometimes we do not feel the baby kicking us cos either:
- Our own movements make it hard to detect kicking
- Baby sleeping OR
- Baby kicking towards inside
I think as long as we can feel movements everyday, should be alright? Cos baby is still very small, so got ample space to move around.

Mel, I did my detail scan last week at 20wk, baby is 320g, wonder if that's too small, baby has to gain another 3kg while we only left 20week before the baby is due?
Fruitee, when my hb place his palm on my tummy, baby also won't move, so naughty and the baby seems to be getting stronger nowaway, every kick and punch seems more powerful and sometime gave me a fright.

Hi Lok,
I'm 20 weeks this week & I've put on 5kg. My gynae says it's normal. We'll tend to pile on weight very fast during early 2nd trimester, then slowly gaining weight till 3rd trimester where we also pile up weight fast. There's a pattern.
I also used to b very worried cos suddenly gained 5kg, all in a mth. But after listening to my gynae, felt better.

Hi Daisyduck,
I also encounter some pain at my gums ever since end of 1st trimester. Luckily, it has been on & off. Dun think it's tooth decay cos I just had all my wisdom teeth extracted out, & all other teeth checked. I looked into the mirror & saw that the gums where my tooth ache is swollen & red. So I guess it must be the gums that's giving me problems.
I resorted to drinking lots of milk, hoping to stop the pain & it really helps. My pain has stopped now.

Hi gals,
Actually my wife can feel the baby movements as early as towards the beginning of the 4th mth. She always complain to me that the bb super active always turing around. But nowadays, the bb prefer to practice soccer during the 5th month. It was so amazing on Sat morning, when my wife ask me to put my hand on the tummy and I felt the bb kicking for the 1st time myself.
By the way, anyone can recommend me any websites for names? Wife have been asking me alot of times nowadays what should we name the bb boy.
At the same time, any one already starting to compile on the items to buy and prepare? Quite blur leh, dunno what I should get now. I can only think of bb cot and pram now. Not sure should I get those bottle sterliser, bottles, milk powder etc now.

Yesterday I went to a concert featuring a fusion of chinese orchestra and indian music. Whenever the Indian drums were played, bb will move around! Hmm... dunno whether to tell me he/she loves or is irritated by the beats. Haha, I personally found the Indian drums very interesting but I don't wanna bb practice drumming inside me! 
Really envy those of you whose hubby can talk to bb and get his/her response... my bb haven't really hear his/her daddy speaking yet
Anyway, I have this WEIRD concern at night... If we sleep on our left handside and decide to change to our right handside to sleep, will our bb get "thrown around" in our tummy? coz I was thinking bb will get a 180 degree turn about leh. Will bb get dizzy?

Tracy,
yes i have problem sleeping at nite. Dun know which position is the best.
Look like many have gone for detailed scan. I am still waiting for mine.
My baby also starts to kick more frequently.
YB,
Did the dentist give u any mouth wash to help to ease the pain? My dentist use to give me this solution to reduce "tooth problem" and quite effective.
5kg for the 1st 5 months is quite gd meaning 1kg a month. The norm is to gain 1kg each month.
pepper, Mel,
I think ur baby are in pretty gd weight! They gain faster now.

missmoon, fruitee, jazzyjas,
Hehe, I'm too lazy to keep a diary... I started one when I first found out that I'm preggy, err, now it's been collecting dust liao
This website addresses the issue on fetal movement: http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/prenatalhealth/2872.html
I guess general monitoring and see if bb stays as active everyday, can already for now... unless our gynae advices otherwise.

ashleywcy, i know wat u meant.. coz sometimes when i cant sleep, i toss & turn.. then i wonder oso if bb wd like "slide from left to right & vice versa". I try to turn carefully & slowly to minimise any disturbances for her.
Its bloated.. + gaseous.. got "wind". Now better, like u sugg, i went to the loo n back. Asked gynae b4, said its coz of the food i took. Its usually after lunch, long time ok, dunno y today came back.
Tracy, ya loh.. tat's how i feel too! Yest she is qte active, today more quiet. Perhaps she know i am working.. hehe..
When i felt uncomfy or cant sleep at nite, i wd ask hb to rub my back.

hi liverpool11,
Take ur time to look around. Dun buy everything at 1 go. It'll costs u a lot!!
I bought some of the necessities that can be kept i.e. milk bottles, steriliser, detergent etc at the recent Robinson Sale. The rest will wait for other sales then buy. Pram/stroller can wait cos ur baby won't need them so soon.
It's more economic to buy during sale time, else very ex. Can spend more than $1k on all these stuff.

Hi ladies,
Daisyduck: It's normal for the gums of preggers to be extra sensitive. I first suspected I'm pregnant when my gums bled during gentle brushing.
Pepper: I'm like you, gain very little during first two trimesters, but not to worry, baby tends to gain the most in the third trimester.
My firstborn was abt 3.4kg at birth eventhough I gained less than 20kg during pregnancy, just rest more and relax....
I'm gettin more nauseated since last week, don't know why..do you ladies feel the same? Am now 18 weeks preggy, everywhere aching...difficult to find a comfy position to sleep

YB,
oops sorry 1 month 5kg is abit abnormal. Just monitor that u gain too much for the next month. U are quite small size right? Cld it due to the medicine u taken?
Mummies,
Today i went Taka for my facial. Saw pigeon breastpad at 8.90. I think is a gd buy. If Taka baby fair is having it shld buy.

Tracy and Fruitee,
There is nothing much to be afraid of, the detail scan is pretty much the same as the normal scan. The only difference is the person in charge will measure very single parts to make sure that the baby is developing properly.
You all should be happy instead that you all will be seeing the babies soon.
