(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


Hi lala,
I was 45kg before pregnant. Not very slim.

Hi poppy,
I've sent u my preg pix.

Hi misaryeo,
At least ur baby is in good weight. U so good, dun have morning sickness at all...
 
Hi mummies, I gained the most weight: 15kg at 29 weeks. Imagine being

by my gynae at each visit... sigh!

misaryeo, I'm just like you! No morning sickness but feel hungry all the time as soon as my pregnancy kit turned positive. Also gained quite a lot of weight in the 1st trimester when baby was only bean-sized.
 
Morning all July MTBs,

How much does a tummy binder costs?

Did any mummies experience baby's hipcups? Think my baby always got hipcups. Anyone knows what the reason behind?
 
Gebbera,
U can buy the tummy binder from pharmacy. IF not wrong now selling $29.95 or $29/- cos got promotion. I'm looking for M size but currently out of stock. Still consider wanna buy S size or not? Wandering can fit me after delivery??

Anyway, u can wear it after gave birth. Can get back ur body shape faster and tummy will look flat flat if u wear it everyday.

Lala,
Weight myself yesterday, so suprised i only gaied 8.7KG at week 30 plus. Tot i hit 10Kg since long time never weight liao! heehee! So happy!!

YB,
I PM you liao!

Mummies,
My nose recently like became bigger and red somemore. Anyone got such problem...hiazz! Look so funny leh!
 
Mummies
I sometimes wonder when Im sleeping at my side, still can feel bb kicking me.. was thinking if I will actually be pressing him or not (he might not feel comfy)... Do you all experience these at all??
 
Fruitee,
I am also worried about pressing my baby when sleeping on my side. Can feel her kicks very vigourously. Will check with the trainer in my Antenatal course this sat and update you ladies.

NOIF,
so good hor, only 8.5kgs increase. Think I will have a hard time dieting after that.

Gebbera,
How do you know your baby is having hiccups? I can't feel at all.
 
Fruitee,
Think Similac Excellence is good. Alot of my friends said that. S26 is good too but baby will tend to have hard stools.
 
Lala
Thanks... that's so nice of you!

Gebbera
I also felt my boy having hiccups... maybe try drinking some water.. it will stop. Not sure what's the reason of having hiccups though.. everytime I felt my boy's hiccups.. I will gulp water, after awhile, it stops.. perhaps not enuff water??
 
Lala
It's like heart beat pounding feeling. Not sure how to describe though.. very intensive one.. I felt weird also..
 
Fruitee >> I feel my baby movement also every min throughout the time i am awake. My baby kick harder only in the evening don't know why?
Can see the movement also...
 
NOIF,
wow.. didnt know tummy binder so expensive. no choice, expensive also must buy for the sake of beauty. I was afraid my tummy will become flabby and drooping down after birth... If tummy binder can help, will sure get one. thanks!

Fruitee, Lala,
I also had the vigorous kicks when i lied sideway. Maybe baby is not comfortable with that position.
Yes, baby's hipcups is like heart beat pounding feeling... Sometimes i wonder is it the fluttering of baby's fingers. But it doesnt seems like cos when i moved around and stop moving, the hipcups feeling is still there and will last for a few minutes.

Sandy,
I also saw the slight movement of my tummy shaking when baby moved. Kept watching my tummy. keke.... Was lying back on my office chair and stare at my tummy. So funny hor... kekeke
 
oh ya, Lala. I also agreed that Similac is good. Afew of my friends are using this brand for their infant baby. Also realised that babies who take this brand grew up extremely fast... hmmm i meant grew fat very fast.

Also heard that as long as the brand of milk powder ends with -lac, means it is good. Example Similac and Enfalac, something like that.
 
Lala
I'm sure you will feel it soon.. cos the kicking and hiccups quite different feeling.. perhaps yr bb nver hiccups.. (Enuff water).

Sandy
My boy kick's most active when it's about bedtime & if he dun hear hb's voice (cos he been talking to him every nite).. seems like he's telling me he dun wanna sleep.. ahha

Gebbera
Maybe I will go buy small tin of Similac see if my boy can take or not..

Hi Mummies i read somewhere that its good that baby hiccups, it says healthy bb then hiccups so no need to worry. i also felt bb kicking when i lie on myside.. very hard to sleep.. have to keep switching position until fall asleep... bb giving mummy hard times these days...

missk, i think the food we eat is very impt.. like me, i love rice and bread.. all these are very high in carbohdrates,, so very easy turn to fats when not in use.. that's why must eat more protein rich food instead and cut down on carbo..
 
eeyore,
maybe we should try drinking more water when baby hipcups, just like what Fruitee did.

misaryeo,
think most of us will start having problem to sleep at night as our tummy are getting bigger and heavier. heard from other mums that drinking Chamomile tea will give us a better sleep at night. I just bought 1 pack and will try it out tonite. See if it really works. =)
 
Gebbera
Yah.. Chamomile tea really helps to sleep.. calm & soothing.. I have been drinking it since I got preggie as some nites simply cannot sleep..

Eeyore
I already got mine... mine is a indonesian..
 
eeyore,
so fast? how many weeks are you in now? better cut down and dont take too salty food liao.

sigh... seems like quite afew of us are experiencing the 3rd trimester symptons liao...

had a sneeze just now and my tummy so painful when shaked. do you feel the same too?
 
eeyore,
did you watch the "xin xin mummy" on channel U on every thursday, 9.30pm? They did film a indonesian massage lady named Maya. Basically she do massage, body wrap and give the "ja-bu" tablets (forgot the tablet name liao) on every sessions of 7 days. Not sure how she charge though.

And coinincidentally, a friend of mine also recommended her to me. I've got her contacts but duno where i place it liao. I have not contact her though. Think she charge around $400-$600 for 7 sessions. Will go home and search and PM you her contact if you are keen.
 
gebbera, tat's y... but some people says it normal, dun worry too much...

fruitee, how much does ur indonesian charge?
 
eeyore
Mine charged like $470 incl. binder, jabu tablet - 6 Sessions.
Mine massaged for celebrities too.. maybe that's why the price quite steep
 
fruitee, the malay massage I'm considering is already $65/2hr session for 7days, total $455/- so i think urs charge $470/- okie lar...
 
Gebbera,
The tummy binder can help to support the flabby tummy to dropping down.

I just bought mine at Guardian at $29/-. I bought S size. The maximum can fit is 81.3cm. I measure my waist and it's 79cm now. Hopefully my tummy dont grow too big and can fit it after give birth to my baby.

Eeyore,

gebbera, Kidzloft sale is 2morrow & saturday only...

fruitee, my sis say dunno can tahan the pain for 2 hrs anot... she think 1 hr enough for her...
 
Thanks Eeyore, i wanna go take alook if we can make it.

Thanks NOIF, will get the tummy binder from Guardian too. btw, can it be use for c-section? or is it meant for natural delivery only?
 
Hi eeyore,
Drinking more water can actually help to reduce water rentention. Try to drink more water but reduce salt intake.

Difficulty Sleeping:
I already have difficulty sleeping every night. Woke up at 3am last night to go toilet then cannot go back to sleep. Worst still, my hubby keep snoring till I can't tahan. My sides will ache when I lay on bed for too long.
 
YB,
I also had difficulties settling down when go to bed. Turn left or right also cant find a comfortable position. Also woke up afew times at nite to go for a pee. Sigh...

As for the aching, maybe you try to use pillow/bloster to support your back. I did that too and felt better but will still ache abit when you change side.
 
Gebbera,
Think hospital will provide another kind of binder for C-section ba????

No idea the tummy binder can use after c-section or not?
 
YB
The sides ache is it like cramping feeling???
Me also wake up same timing every nite. it's like a routine liao..
 
Me also have problem falling asleep at nite. Keep having the feeling of wanting to go toilet. Think my hands & feet are getting alittle tight, maybe due to water retention.

How I wish that Jul will come quickly. Are you working MTBS taking your maternity leave on the EDD or sometime before?
 
Hey ladies

I experience the same thing too. I am so afraid to hurt my bb when I am lying on my sides. I don't look forward to bedtime recently. It's really hard to sleep in the correct position. Whichever position seems wrong. Can anybody help?
 
Hi Geberra,
I dun mind waking up a few times at night to go toilet. But I hate not being able to go back to sleep after that!! End up can only sleep a few hours each time & by day, I'll be yawning non-stop.

I also use a lot of pillows when I'm in bed to prope myself up. Else, will suffer indigestion.

Hi Fruitee,
Yah, the side aches feels like cramp. But it gets better when I change sides. But then after not long, the other side also ache.

Eyesight Blur,
Asked Mrs Wong during my class tonight if pregnancy can affect eyesight & cause blurring. She said might be due to high blood pressure & cause the blood behind the eye to swell. Sometimes, it can be accompanied by migriane. She advise me to have my eyesight checked by optometrist & inform my gynae abt it. I dun think my condition is due to high blood pressure cos during every doc's visit, the nurse will check my blood pressure, but they never say anything.

Water Retention:
I think my face is getting very bloated now...sob..sob...dunno if it's due to water retention of simply put on too much weight.
