missmoon, i tol my gynae abt this on n off abs pain bt he dun seem "concerned".. Ya, its like a pinch kinda feeling, like a stitch oso.Bt since yest, its not on juz the lower abs, the sides oso.. tat's the uterus rite??
More frequent & times.
Yest saw a tiny drop of "red dot" on the pantyliner, got me all worried last nite. Is this spotting? Haiz.. last nite kept getting up to check. If i call, they wd ask me to do down. Thk later wd call. If keep thinking, i cant take it.
fruitee, i know.. i am feeling "heavy headed" now.

jazzyjas, ya, i get it at the sides also. it seems to be more often now and i read fr the book that up to 26 weeks, there will be these aches and stitch-like sensations. so i guess it's normal...so long as no cramps or spotting. if u see tiny red dot, better not take chance, go and see gynae liao.
if we all getting sleepless nites now hor, imagine when 3rd tri comes...cannot tahan!!

missmoon, so how often sd this "aches & stitches" happen per day? Isit come n go a few times in an hr?
Ya.. bt i not sure isit blood i saw yest either. Its like a "tiny needle prick" dot.
Juz hope July comes faster.
hong, u must take care. For the time being, better to leave ur daughter wif ur IL.

jazzyjas, it comes and goes...sometimes consistently for half hour, then goes away...then will come back after a while. the stitch-like feel i got is like blunt needle poking kind. even if it's discharge, shldn't be brownish lor...maybe just monitor see if got some of this
fruitee, ya...head heavy...feel like a walking zombie...cannot concentrate much at work...imagine a month before due date...arrrgh

Hong,
I did read newspaper about preggie not advisable to get nearest with HFMD patients. Think the virus will spread to the preggie and the unborn baby too. If serious, the unborn baby cant survive ......
U better check the newspapers last week to check more informs.
eeyore,
Heehee! I just took some studio pics during our company D&D last Sat. Dont know turn out nice or not?

Hi Hong,
I also saw from the local news that HFMD will cause miscarriage in pregnant women. You have to be careful.

Hi Hong,
Think it's last week's news...I feel that it's better to be safe than sorry. My nephew also used to come down with HFMD & my mum banned me from getting near him.

hong, fruitee, i intend to clear a week's leave a week before EDD...hopefully will pop on time so can clear maternity leave immediately after that. otherwise...will "tong" until closer to popping time (also dunno how to gauge) then clear leave. scared by time too big hor, hard to move around also. hey hong, u better take care, ya
must develop strong immunity system, especially now.
jazzyjas, gynae didn't tell me how i shld monitor but since book says it's normal, i left it as that...will raise this prob wif gynae again on wed see if he still seems unconcerned. ya lor, these days at work i got no patience ley...then this morning moody...wonder if it's hormones or simply cos not enough sleep last nite and then add on monday blues.
anyone lately feel that feet getting "bigger"? it looks like water retention or something...look swollen but dun feel tight that kind?

Fruitee,
U dun like Chix ess, else can give u strength. Its give me "power" to last my day.
YB,
My own daughter leh, cant help it.
Missmoon,
I agree with u it is very hard to gauge when we shld take leave. Unless ur gynae told u if he wanted to induce u. However, staying at home waiting is also the same. Unless there is someone with u all the time.
I think the vitamins that we take helps to strength the body alot. I will be more careful.

missmoon, the book i am reading does not say much abt such abs pain. May i know wat book u r reading? Feel i am not reading enuff, qte ignorant + dunno how 2 describe the "feeling" very well.
Wd only be seeing in mid Apr.. tat's still a long way.. wd monitor & see how it goes.
I am usually impatient.. after preg, even more so. Ya, no mood to work oso.. juz now lunch ok, now come back, i am tired n restless.
No, still ok i thk. A colli said dun drink 2 much water.. bt another said sd take more. ????
Under wat circumstances wd the doc do induction? A frd req for induction & were given.

hong, ya lor...these days anything also hard to predict liao...hopefully we can fight anything that's harmful now, especially the weather so hot and humid...must be extra careful not to fall ill.
jazzyjas, it's the dr miriam stoppard book, it just mentions very briefly the stitch-like feeling during this few weeks, and from wk 20 till 25, it was more like uterus will ache cos of the stretching and bb's aerobic movements during that developmental stage. i can understand...even wif the reading, i still feel insecure, like still in doubt of wat i'm feeling is really as described in book...feel at a loss sometimes.
think there're special circusmstances where they recommend induction but i think most common one is overdue? my colleague's 1st bb was overdue, so her second one hor, she asked for induction and gynae ok'd it.

Jazzy,
My gynae suggested that when my baby hits near 40 weeks and i still show no sign of labour.
However for my case, i wanted my girl to be induced cos i cant stand her weight on me anymore.
Infact, induce may not be a gd choice cos the chances of u ended up in assisted birth or C-section is high.

missmoon, i am reading this dr miriam stoppard's handbook. Din mention abt the uterus aching. So after 25weeks, does this feeling lessens?
Ya, i thk insecurity is wat i felt too.
I read abt thgs on the website then i wd thk. Like abs pain, from the babycenter site, its common in preg yet differs for each mothers.
hong, so actually there is a "degree" of risk to ask for induction? Coz a frd early than EDD bt she asked for it.
fruitee, har noh.. i am drinking qte a lot oso.. esp i feel after food, i am thirsty.

Hi jazzyjas,
Actually to prevent water retention, we should drink more water. The lesser water we have in our body, the more our body will retent.

Looks like lots of us are having sleepless nights!! Me too, I fall asleep like 1am then wake up several times in the middle of the night and have difficulty getting back to sleep again. So tiring!
eeyore & YB, I've got a lady photograher friend that specialises in pregnancy and baby photography. I've seen her portfolio, very nice. Can pass you the contact if you want. Can check with her when is a good time to take the photos and her prices too!

Almost time to go home liao.. keep ur cool..
Juz went for an 1hr+ tralk, sat until "numb".
Wanna zzz juz now oso, bt coz the talk is "interactive", i have to pay attention.
YB, i agree wif u. Coz if drink more water, most prob wd juz go loo more time.
Fruitee, really?! Actually it depends on individual. If feel thristy, must drink mah.. dun drink, lest dehydrate.
missmoon, i guess so. If bb is growing, i thk the uterus wd expand to accommodate. But at times, the "feel" is different, then dunno wat it meant.

Hi Hong,
Ya, I know. It's indeed really very troublesome. But no choice lor, cos u r pregnant now. Can ask ur hubby to help? Since it's quite tiring for you to do these chores now.

HI Poppy,
Can I have the lady's photograpger contact? Sounds fun but I'm choosing between whetehr to do the photo now or when my baby is one-month old. It'll be our first family photo. So fun!
Do you all feel that the baby kicks more often these days? Mine was so frequent that I wonder if she sleeps at all! Hahhaha Naughty girl.
Anyone knows where can I buy wardrobe for baby? I know Ikea has some but wonder if there are other alternatives...

Hi Hong,
So glad ur daughter is recovering. I know HFMD has a hibernation period. So do still be carefully during these few days.
Hi May,
I agree with Hong. Ikea has some really nice & cute designs but they tend not to last long. Somemore, maj have to be assemble on ur own. Unless you're thinking of changing the furniture when ur child grows up, else can get from Vhive.

Hi Jazzyjas,
I dont usually wake up at night. (Touch wood **) Probably becos I'm always deadbeat when I reach home. I read that if you exercise regularly, you wont have sleeping problems too. Thats why I make it a point to hit the gym twice a week. You should try it too and it prevents backaches as well.
Hi Hong and YB,
Thanks for your suggestion. Cool, I'll go Vhive to take a look too.
By the way, has anyone bought thermometer for baby yet? Those ear thermometer type. I saw the one Braun is selling costs 129. A bit too ex eh...

Hi May,
I will not be getting those Baby thermometer. They are simply too ex!! I will be using those normal digital thermometer if my baby gets sick. Will stick under the armpit lor..
Hi melissa,
Welcome!!
Hi misaryeo,
Walking is good, even for pregnant women. I still try to lift light weights at home & go for a 30mins walk everyday if I have the time. Just refrain from over-strenuous exercises.
