(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


YB >> i also like u don't believe at first. But my daddy show me example of his younger brother face. His younger brother got red patch. It was because when his mother do some red patching work in the bedroom.
I think as long u don't cut , paint or nail anything in your bedroom can already.

By the way , what is the breast pad for ??
 
Hi Sandy,
I did some stencilling in nursery room instead. I heard as long as we dun cut things on the bed should be fine.

The breast pad is to prevent ur clothings from getting wet by the milk leaking from the breasts. Supposed to insert the pads between the breast & bra.
 
Oh i see ... but how do we know we have milk by then. My husband's sister don't seem to produce any milk for her two daughter. ( her breast big )
 
Misaryeo,
My hubby also keep forgeting...sigh. He keep doing all the handyman works at my PIL's place while I'm there.

I wonder hor, how to prepare the nursery stuff without the shifting, painting, knocking and drilling etc? I just bought a chest of drawers and hubby needs to fix it up...he ask me to go to my mum's house to "hide" while he fix. Oh, the one thing that my mum is very particular about is moving our own bed. Strictly no shifting or moving it about!!

YB,
My MIL also say my tummy looks so big....sigh.
 
Hi All,
Js came back from japan... i started feeling warm already even in cold weather...

YB, how much u bought the pigeon steriliser?

hi olinda, my gynae mentioned it's no problem having sex during pregnancy, js be gentle abit... oso i heard from my friend tat her gynae mentioned it's good to have sex close to delivery...

hi may, my friend suggested tat we should bring a sleep dress for ourselves cos we need to wash our bottom, it's easier tat way...

misaryeo, i js heard dun move ur masterbed during pregnancy, hope tat helps ur worry...
 
Poppy>> i suggest u wait until baby born then do...
better don't play play with those old wife tale.
i ban my HB from doing anything in my room. If not anything happen, u and your HB is going to bear the blame.
Like my mother say i cannot go pierce my ear for my customary and i struggle. Same situation as u now.
 
Hi Sandy,
Frankly speaking, we won't know. But scientifically, it's more of a demand & supply situation. Also, some ppl swear by taking lotsa fish & papaya to increase the milk supply.
 
Hi Poppy,
At least ur MIL only says ur tummy looks big, which is good cos it shows that the baby is growing well. My MIL says that I have fats everywhere except tummy!! She even juggles my arms to illustrate her pt that my arms are too flabby!! So insensitive!
 
Anyone here been to Motherhood fair before ??
Will they give u free Motherhood magazine?? Cos i just subscribe and have it to start Deliver to me from May onward.
 
Hi eeyore,
Is Japan very cold now? I've already stopped covering myself with blanket even when I sleep with aircon ON at night.

I bought the Pigeon Steriliser at Robinson's Sale. Costs me $92.88 after 20% disc. But I still have 10% rebate cos I used Robinson's card to pay. Understood that the Pigeon Steriliser is cheaper during the Taka Sale. You may wanna check out Kiddy Palace's price? If u got their membership card, u r entitled to additional 10% disc.

Sex at last trimester will trigger labor. So sometimes, gynae will recommend sex when the baby is overdue.

Do u mean we should wear a PJ dress instead of those with pants in hospital?
 
hi yb,

i went to 2 places in japan (tokyo & yokohama), tokyo is colder... mayb abt 15 degree, @ nite will be lesser...

oh u buy the steriliser @ $92.88... i saw kiddy palace & baby kingdom selling @ $87/-, tot i could get even cheaper price...

yar... wearing pj dress... tat's wat my friend's hb suggested...
 
Hi eeyore,
Yes, saw that Kiddy Palace selling cheaper. Somemore if u have membership card, got further 10% disc.

Did u managed to see the Sakura blooming in Japan?
 
Lok:

Last appt at 27wks, my bb ger's weight is 1kg
happy.gif
hehe The Desitin cream is bought is 2oz, didnt know contains aloe vera, never really check cos i bot it from NTUC unity and there is only 1 kind. Perhaps tonite i shall go home n check.

btw, i hv confirmed taking the 1 bedded ward n received the pre-admission registration letter. Just post back to TMC wil do. Dr. YC also gave me a list of recommended PDs. according those PDs are her frens n reliable. hv u shortlisted any? me hvnt
happy.gif


oh ya i hv gained 10kg liao (from 43 kg to 53kg). I m now at 29wks. hehe
 
Hello kite, haven't seen u at this thread for a while!! My next appt is on 27 Apr, we usually take weekday appt as there's less crowd.

Heard that Desitin cream with Aloe Vera is good. Dr YC's clinic does sell them (think it's 2oz at $13+). I intend to get it from her (again, because it's claimable as part of our medical benefits).

We haven't confirm which ward to take. Probably 1 bedded too. As for PD, i read from other threads that the PDs in 5th floor SBCC is better than those on 3rd floor. Will choose Dr Ong Eng Keow. His clinic is in AMK, Mt. A and TMC, so all very near my place. Good thing that he falls under the FBI PD list as well!

I am 49kg+ now at 26+ weeks. BB was abt 673g at 24 weeks, YC is expecting bb to be abt 1.2 kg when I next see her at 28 weeks.
 
Anyone get leaking of urine :p I am now having a bad flu and sore throat.. each time i sneeze, urine will leak... sob sob

Tom will be goin for gynae appt and the glucose test.. must take blood two times.. my phobia..
 
yb, there's still sakura blooming but not all... those colder places still have...

joan, pj dress are sleeping dress or pyjamas dress... but if breastfeed won't be easy...
 
For things to bring during delievery, do add in a thick sweater cos delivery suite tends to be real cold and labour might be long.

I remembered my labour lasted more than 20hrs and if not for my sweater, would have been frozen like popsicle...I only had a white gown (those operating theatre ones) on.
 
Good morning Mummies !

Hi Misaryeo and YB,

my gynae say my bb head size not too big, he just say that 1.1 kg at week 28 is norm so shdnt expect bb to b veri big at birth cos both me n DH not veri big sized. I'm small built but definitely not underweight b4 preg, so quite scary to gain so much.... Hee...
 
hi kite and lok,

fyi, there's a pharmacy at TMC selling the 2ozs Desitin cream with Aloe Vera at $20 for 2 tubes.

hi all july mummies,
wanna check something... which part of your tummy do you uaually feels baby's kicks? I can only feel baby's kicks at my lower abdominal. Cant feel baby's kick at my upper tummy at all. Am quite worried. what about all july mummies here?
 
Mummies,
Have to bring PJ dress best if front button. I went for the hospital tour at Gleneagles, and they say they only provide hospital gowns, those tie behind type....so exposed, it's quite inconvenient if you want to breastfeed also.
 
Hi Gebbera
I can feel bb kicks at lower abdominal but at times.. where the belly button is...
Is the kick very strong??
 
yup yup Fruitee, i can feel baby's kick near the belly button but most of the time is either left side or right side, not exactly where the belly button is. I can feel my baby kicking strongly especially when i lied down to rest. I think I've never feel baby's kicking on my upper tummy before wherelse my friend does. She commented that baby is kicking all over her tummy. But I do have sort of numb or rubbing sensation around upper tummy and I thought that could be baby's legs moving around. Do you experience that too?
 
Gebbera
yah... can also feel at the left & right side... at times also above my belly button but rare la..so far can see & feel only like twice.
For numb or rubbing sensation so far no have ley...
 
just wondering why my friend said she can feel it all over her tummy? makes me worried so much over the past few days. Hmm...

btw, do you drink coffee? I drank a cup almost everyday. Though gynae did assure that 1 cup of coffee a day is fine, I'm still quite worried. Think I'm becoming more paranoid nowsadays liao... =(
 
no worries... think different ppl different one loh..
happy.gif

Coffee, yes I still drink but when I'm sleepy la.. I do drink tea every morning, bo pian.. no tea no work ley.. at times morning drink tea liao.. then afternoon coffee to keep me awake.. abit sinful hor... but this morning I tried to replace tea with Raspberry tea.. ekkeke
 
hi all.. fyi my hubby already shift the bed.. sigh.. cos ours is platform bed.. so the mattress move very easily... i give up already.. and haven't do up my nursery... dunno how to go abt when i can't move anything.. sometimes i really hate this superstition..

regarding this fat issue.. i think sometimes these pple are really inconsidered.. especially i am the type super conscious abt looks when i not pregnant.. so this "fat" word is very sensitive to me.. some elderly or younger friends just so inconsidered, they look at me like some alien.. the way they stare at you is very irritating! which is why sometimes i rather not meet these pple.. its really very frustrating..
 
hi gebbera, i also feel my bb kick most of the time at the lower abdominal.. occasionally at the sides also.. so not to worry.. i also getting more and more paranoid already.. was quite worried also at first :p
 
Misaryeo
Yah.. I totally agree with you loh.. about how ppl look at us.. and really getting to my nerves loh..
Just last fri went to get cosmetics as running out. Was at the cashier paying and beside me was a couple. The lady was poking the bf/hb (I dun know) whispering: " Wah lau, pregnant still buy so many cosmetics. SIAO!" and the guy was staring at me laughing.. I was so piss off loh.. told them off saying.. is there a law preggies canot buy make up cannot put powder on the face.. Wonder what's wrong with all these ppl man..
sad.gif
 
hi fruitee, misaryeo (wow your name very difficult to spell leh. hehehe)

thanks, at least I'm feeling better now to know that baby is kicking alright.

ya, me too! I just hate the way those ppl look at me. I got irritated by these ppl very easily. Sometimes, I'll just stare at them fiercely. What is so eye-catching about preggy ladies? Just cant understand!

Btw, it's alright to use cosmetics during pregnancy. They are only used on the exterior and not interior. Think that couple ought to read up more instead of making stupid remarks!
 
Hi sandy,
For me, I breastfed my no. 1 for 2 yrs plus. I stopped only becoz my period had not come andI couldn't conceive.
I had much difficulties in bf my child esp in the first6-8 mths. But there is a need to perservere becoz we want the best for all our babies.
i believe all mothers can produce enough milk for their babies. But they really have to get their facts right. There is no such thing as convenience for the mother. the milk production that the body produces runs on a demand and supply system. Neither can you say, I only want to pump at night or only 2 times a day. Your breast produces milk all the time. It is really amazing. If you want to know more,you can PM me and I can share more.
 
Gebbera
Yah man.. just simply cannot understand what's with them... Does that mean preggies cant do this cant do that? wah piang... wait till they preggie themselves.. maybe for the men.. perhaps can understand... but what's with the women???
 
Hi Gebbera,
I tend to feel baby's movements at the lower abdominal & around the naval area. Think baby will only move up in 3rd trimester. Dun worry too much if ur gynae didn't say anything is wrong.
 
Hi misaryeo,
Exactly!! I'm also already very conscious abt my weight b4 pregnancy. Simply can't understand y ppl has to comment about our weight as though it's our fault tat we can't control our diet.

AND these are the ppl are actually fatter than us even though they r not pregnant!! Didn't anybody tell these ppl that they r fat & ugly too!! AND it makes matter worst when it's my own MIL who like to critise.
 
Hello MTBs,
Qte a few days din come in already. How's everybody?

Wanna ask if any of u have fainting spells? Yest have, were seated when felt uncomfy, blurry visions, felt almost want to faint. Bt luckily, i did not.

Regd the dischrg (slight yellowish) some of us were talking abt, I went for the v swab 2 weeks ago & have some yeast infection. Now better bt still have yellowish dischrg on n off.
 
Hello Mummies !

Anyone started the shoppin oredi ? or waitin for the Motherhood fair and GSS in May ?

Just wanna ask, which is the preferred brand for cloth diapers and breast pump ?

I heard that some bb refuse to sleep in cot aft 3 months. is it true ? Worried that aft spendin $300, cot will become white elephant aft 3 mths...
 
Jazzy
I did have some blurry vision & uncomfy feeling last weekend.. it's like sudden feel of cold sweat coming like that.. immediately need to sit down.. also dun know why like that.. after hb handed me some water, felt better drinking it. I also wonder if it's normal loh.. maybe coming 3rd tri, this could be the symptons?
 
Hi Mummies,
Our thread so quiet these days. Where is all the mummies?

Wanna check with u all somethings...

Found out that my 1st urine in the morning very bright yellow or maybe orange. Anyone same as me?
 
NOIF
wah, so many different shades!

mine quite yellowish even though i drink a lot of water

do you all feel warmer than normal? in office, i am always the one complaining i am warm!
 
Hi Jazzyjas,
Did u let ur doc knows tat u have fainting spell? Better check with him. My gynae said sometimes anemia can cause dizzyness.

I also have blurry vision on my left eye. Dunno if it's affected by the pregnancy. I read tat sometimes pregnancy will affect our eyesight.

Hi NOIF,
Ya, sometimes in the morning, my urine will also be bright yellow. Think mayb cos we didn't drink water thru-out the night??
 
Missmoon,
Before pregnant and when on my 1st trismester, I very scare of cold. Inside air-con room I tend to felt very cold and need to wear sweater.

Enter 2nd trimester till now, I dont afraid cold anymore but I also dont really feel warm. Just feel normal.
 
YB,
Yalo! Maybe because I didn't drink water thru-out the nite. I did't wake up middle of the nite to pass urine too. So the urine became soooo bright?

But the color of the urine turn out really scary. The color just like we had medicine beforethat.
 
Jurong,

i got Ameda dual pump.
Clothes diaper should be ok for all the brand.
Diaper i will go for Nepia, planning to order when near edd.

YB,
dun get feedup on the comments.
Just slim down after delivery.

Fruitee,
i read abt the incident. Who is that couple! so rude!
 


this is scary! i also have dizzy spells and sometimes blurry vision. i read that it could be a few things - preeclampsia, thyroid or just low blood count...
