Eeyore & Jazzyjas
I take 6 days, my colleague & boss face already si bei black liao.. then gynae told me that my placenta quite low the other day wan me to take MCs to rest at home.. I also cannot... then he asked me not to walk too much...
sad.gif
Chiam right?
 


joline,

How about milo with sugar? This is wat i do now as i oso dun like the milky taste. As for milk, i try to ve some just for the sake of the bb.
 
fruitee
it's your leave entitlement mah, why like that? if you need to, better take, for bb's sake
happy.gif
how many days of MC are you entitled to? for me, i took 2 months off frm work during first tri and explained to my boss. heng he was ok wif it.

will the low placenta improve as pregnancy progresses? pls take care!
 
RT,
ur wife share the same gynae as me? Where do u see Dr Ang? I see him at TMC.

I think nothing to be paiseh abt cos 1st time parents.

My 1st gynae even better, he said we can ML all the way, even ok during my 1st trimester.

MTBs,
i think aloe vera is also cooling.

Fruitee,
How many days MC do u entitle for each yr?
No wonder u thinking of quiting ur job.
 
Missmoon & hong

My leave entitlement is 14 days loh.. 14 days MC!
My gynae just told me that I need a lot of rest cos last week I encounter slight spotting loh.. scare the hell out of me loh.. That time I took MCs, came back both colleague & boss face black black look at me.. haiz.. take MCs I also bo pian mah.. My luck loh.. for having such not understanding boss & colleague!
sad.gif
 
fruitee, they not very nice loh.. u have worked hard, now take a little rest oso cant? U do wat u can, dun force urself too much. Dun take heavy thgs oso.

missmoon, u have taken 2mths? no pay leave? coz i were planning 2 take in Mar 1mth of no pay leave.
 
aiyoh no wonder you feel like quitting. have to take MC bo pian, dun care lor. try not to let their black faces affect you. watever it is, bb most important
happy.gif
 
Joline,

No idea leh but if u can just take some whenever u can. I just start my calcium intake so i guess this might be the time that we nd calcium more. Im 16 wks now.
 
the worst is my boss keep asking me go here go there even when he know I preggie loh... think he purposely one... maybe he know I preggie cannot terminate me mah.. so force me to quit loh..
sad.gif
 
jazzyjas, i took hospitalisation leave. cos i entitled to 30 days of MC and if hospitalisation leave then it's in total 60 days. i also cleared my accummulated leave from 2004/5, so total i took abt 2.5 months paid leave. how many days of MC r you entitled to? if can avoid taking no pay leave maybe consider using mc or combination of both?
 
fruitee, if you really cannot tahan anymore, then maybe best to quit? dun stress yourself over these people, not worth it.
 
Hi all,

Have been busy lately and there's so much things to read already!

I went NT scan on Monday and found that BB's NT measurement is in the normal range but is near to the upper limit! =( Stressed until Wednesday when a nurse called to say that the blood test turned out normal. Wonder if BB takes after his father who has a thick neck =p

For mummies still looking for maternity jeans, I found a pair at ~$79 from Mums & Babes at Plaza Singapura. It has non-adjustable elastic waistband but has a drawstring. The sales girl says can wear till full term. Hmm... went quite a number of shops but few sell maternity jeans leh. Other than 9mois's jeans ($129), did anyone come across maternity jeans elsewhere?
 
hi gals
mia for 2 days already. finallly went to see doc and was diagnosed as having gas. prescribed meds for vommiting and gastric. not feeling 100% yet though.

for those not eating well, doc confirmed that it won't harm bb cos we all have reserves to provide for bb even if we dun eat. thank goodness!

fruitee, i really admire all you working mtbs cos i cannot imagine having to work and cope with all these ailments at the same time. since its your entitlement then dun be afraid of boss/colleagues's black face. juz be thick skin abit lor..like you said they cannot terminate you for that rite?
happy.gif
 
hi gals... busy day today.

I also hv itchy eyes... rub until red red.
i tot it's becos of my contact lens! now i noe tat it is link to preg!! :p

itchy at V: I hv no itchy, discharge is either white or abit yellowish, but no smell. gynae only notice when she wanted to do vscan for me (1st tri time) so she took some samples to test and confirm nothing. so i think best to tell gynae....
happy.gif


fruitee - oh, tat's bad... but guess the impt thing is u and bb's health. so rest more and dun get stress by them. think if need to, just talk to ur boss straight!

jazzyjas - oh, so wrong person! :p
but still punggolians.. :D
 
terminate - tot they can terminate as long as it is before 6mths of ur preg?

rem last year, there was this saga abt a preg woman being terminated when she is 5mths preg. then AWARE cannot do anything abt it.
 
Hi Joline & Evelyn,

I find milk, even soya milk repulsive too. They'll leave a weird after taste in my mouth after drinking it. My gynae didn't say much during my visit on monday, but kept reminding me to drink more milk, so I guess it's REALLY important to drink more lor.

What I do is to psychologically bluff myself by drinking small cups of milk (maybe ~100ml per cup) coz the sight of big glass of milk is puke-inducing to me =p Then after drinking, must sip some plain water and rinse my mouth with water to get rid of the after taste.
 
Hi Fruitee,

Dun worry, u're not alone.
My boss and manager also throw alot of shit for me to do though they noe im preggie.
Though i produce gynae letter to state clearly that i shd be absent from chemical areas, they still force me to go production and refuse to transfer me to admin jobs thou there are admin vacancies.....somemore they refuse to confirm me though i have been working 2 mths more than the required probation...cos i'm preggie.
i'm really worried and pissed, yet bopian cos need to work for bb mar...so just tahan day by day lor
sad.gif
 
ashleywcy, i got a pair of jeans from spring maternity, selling @ $70 over dollars. It's a elastic waistband but need safety pin to secure, can oso wear until full term, not very high waistline, nice color & cutting...
 
Hi Hong

My wify visit Dr Ang at Sun Plaza, nearer for us..... now she down with flu and cough, like many of the MTB.... hmm... must be the weather...
 
Hi everyone, just see the gynae yesterday. Wife is having bad flu and cough nowadays. Took some medication from the gynae yesterday. But wife is still holding out, hoping that with plenty of rest, the flu would recover. Tried seeing the gender of the BB yest, saw something sticking out, but still not confirm yet, coz might be the umbilical cord. So he said don't go shopping yet.
 
Hi everyone,

How are you? Feeling better?

Do we have to take folic acid for the whole 40 weeks, as my supplies are runnung low, and will be finished before I see my gyae? I would have to buy from pharmacy if need to take for 40 weeks.
 
Hi ladies,

Sorry to interrupt this thread but i've a suggestion for those who find milk repulsive.

I mix milk with some horlicks. In ratio of 3:1. 3 scopes of milk n 1 scope of horlicks.
So far find it quite ok. Hope it helps.
happy.gif
 
Jasline
I did not take folic acid all the way. Did your gynae give you multi vits? Cos some already have folic acids. I stopped taking at ard 5 months.
 
hi juronggal,

Ur colleagues r so BAD!

Anyway, juz thinking, if u're not confirm, will u still be entittled to the maternity leave?
Mayb u can check with ur HR abt the delay in ur confirmation.Probably its ur boss who is holding it back.
 
millie, hope you feeling better now. is the gas a result of being preggie? cos i have this bloatedness that sometimes seem worse on some days and on others, dun feel like eating and want to throw up.

ashleywcy
u can check out thyme maternity. they have quite a range of jeans and corduroy pants, all rubberised or elasticised. not sure abt price range though.

juronggal, maybe can find out more from MOM see wat rights you're entitled to. seems very unfair that the company should treat an employee like that.

jasline, my gynae gave me folic acid for first tri, and then at last visit he told me i can stop liao when i finish the remaining pills. instead he started me on other vits.
 
Pple,

Folic acid are to be taken thru-out the pregnancy. for the 1st 3 month, we are prescribe with Folic acid till the doctor gave us Multi-vit which contain many vit + folic acid.

ashleywcy,
ur appetite is till no gd? May be that is why gynae wanted u to drink milk.

Fruitee77,
if u really need rest due to spotting again, can ask gynae to issue u hospitalisation leave instead of MC.

Ur boss really inhuman! Still ask u to move ard so much! Can complain to HR or not?
 
Hi Everyone!

Apologies for not getting into personals today...me very busy and very tired. I hope that everyone is OK. Sending those who are a little under the weather lots of quick recovery vibes!

Welcome Joline and RT!!!

hi all,

for those looking for nice jeans... can try bloomingchic located at Delphi Orchard level 2. they have nice pants too ...
happy.gif
 
hi MTBs,

Yesterday bought enfamama chocolate favour.. personally feel that the taste is better than MILO, for those of you who have difficulty for milk intake (due to the taste) may give it a try!

By the way, I'm still suffering from the sleep disorder. Latest by 8pm I must lie down on the bed and sleep. But the most i can only sleep for 4~5 hours (with 2~3 toilet time in between). At around 2~3am I would just toss and turn on the bed and open eyes big big and wait for the morning comes.. haiz.. anyone of you facing the similar problem?
 
wah from the list hor, can see KKH boh business leh....

TMC- 13- 14 pax
Mt. A- 4-5 pax
KKH- 3 pax
Glen- 6 pax
Mt E.- 4 pax

No woner last year visit a good fren there, the place so quiet one.... she stay in a 4 bedded but inside only 2 people.... hmmm, about time they look at their charges liao.... if it cost same same like pte hospital, then business sure no good one...
 
joline
i have the same problem. i go to bed by 10pm and have no prob falling asleep but interrupted by toilet visits (2-3 times) and by 3am or so, i cannot sleep already. very wide awake and basically just waiting for alarm to go off, then feel very sleepy in the afternoon.
 
fruitee, ur boss so not understanding leh.. he a father already? coz my boss a father of 2, he knows how i am feeling rite now &amp; he is qte nice. He let me take leave when i cant work.. bt i must have my limits loh, dun be too overboard lest others "talk".

missmoon, my MC is 14days &amp; leave is 20days p.a., hosp is 60days.
am still considering, not sure if wd finally take the unpaid leave.
i feel if my nauseous can stop, i wd feel better. Sat took med b4 dinner bt still b4 sleep, out my dinner came.
sad.gif


millie, r u better? Preg women wd be more "gaseous". U must get plenty of rest.

Hi Jasline, I have juz stopped taking folic acid. During the last visit, gynae gv me iron &amp; calcium supplements, 1 of the them has folic acid in it. Actually food like bread &amp; even Marmite contain folic acid.

MTDT, no problem. Ur blk noisy? Mine is loh.. coz after the recent WIS, many units now reno.. incl the unit above us, even publ hols &amp; Sun working.

Gals.. anyone did a pap smear during 1 of the gynae vistis? Coz a colli said her gynae did when she visited him the 1st time.
 
hi missmoon, jazzyjas
thanks for your concern. i am still feeling very gassy especially after meals, stomach will suddenly bloat until it's very tight and uncomfortable. taken all the mylanta doc gave me but still no good. everyday sure to throw up once. like today after i had japanese food, within 15 mins of leaving the restaurant must run to the toilet to vomit.

sometimes juz feel like coughing and suddenly will let out very loud burp (like gonna vommit but no vommit type of sound..gross). worse still everyday have with diahrrea some more! suffering
sad.gif


joline
think many of us going thru the same sleep deprivation stage. for me i will get max 4hrs of sound sleep. i dun wake up to pee anymore but at 5-6am will start tossing and turning till i get up at 8+am. unfortunately is i heard it gets worse as we progress easpecially when we start feeling bb movement.
 
jazzyjas - mine blk is more or less filled up already. so not many doing reno now.
happy.gif


if ur neighbours are doing reno, think better for u to go to ur mom's place etc. dun think the constant drilling noise and dusty plc is good for u.
happy.gif
 
Ashleywcy,

I went to Thyme Maternity yesterday and saw that they do have a great range of maternity jeans there. Price range begins from $119. I tried on one, it's with adjustable rubber behind, and found that I don't quite like it as the cutting is not very nice for the belly. Got a strong feeling that it will cut belly part when my tummy is getting bigger and bigger.

However, I bought the Jeans Jumper.... I remembered one mummy looking for it over here, So I came here to inform. It's $98 dollars. IMM no longer have it, so go get it from Thyme Maternity!!!

Re: Milk Intake....

Throughout my last pregnancy, my Gynae keep advising me against milk intake as it will greatly increase mummy's weight and in fact, not much benefits to the baby. The Calcium pills is sufficient for the baby liao..... My friend's gynae, Dr Teo of Shaw centre also said so. Had been told of quite a few cases of mummies taking milk giving birth to big babies..... It's up to individuals maybe, but do find out more..... regarding the milk intake thing......

Millie,

One most embarrassing thing I encountered when I was pregnant was I pass gas more easily..... it's the other negative point other than frequent burping..... My mum keep telling me it's because of wind in my tummy...... thanks to the new trend maternity clothes she said. Haiz.....
 
jazzyjas, ya lor, usually go online in the afternoon on sundays, cos at home nothing to do while hubby goes wash car. hehe

millie, oh no, i do hope you'll feel better soon. i'm also at a loss, dunno how i can help
sad.gif
once when i was feeling extremely nauseous to the pt of wanting to throw up, i drank nothing, ate only a plain toast. maybe that wld help...avoid eating a full meal? as for coughing (and i get hiccups too), i try to prevent it by drinking water whenever i feel it coming.

i also sneeze for no rhyme or reason.
 
Hi,

anyone experience pain in your butt area when u sit for too long?? I keep having this pain when I sit on the train or on the couch...could it be the blood circulation? The pain is somewhere near the tail bone...

Besides 9mois, you gals can check out Swell too. It's just next to 9mois. They have nice bottoms esp for office attire. it's about 69, slightly more ex than Spring.
 
anyone start wearing maternity wear already... personally, my stomach is not showing much yet, dun really dare to wear those maternity tops but bottom have to wear more loose ones...
 
hi Ningyo,

i'm still entitled to 3 mths maternity leave cos i working for more than 180 days liao.
Indeed it is my boss who's purposely delaying my confirmation so the HR cant do much cos they didnt receive the nod from my boss ...
sad.gif
 
Jurong Gal,

Do you have an immediately superior above you or the boss is already the immediate superior? I was in the same situation as you 2 yrs ago, until I wrote to MOM about the issue then my company gave me the confirmation letter, cos they can basically find no fault in me.

Hi Eeyore/May,

I also experience the pain. Now, in fact, my whole body is aching. This pregnancy is not giving me an easy time at all....
 
millie, perhaps u outa avoid cold food for the time being? stick to cooked meals for the time being. I like to eat jap food, bt since preg, have not eaten once.
Actually i try not 2 eat out, coz dunno when i wd vomit.
sad.gif


mtdt, i try not 2 travel on weekends.. so stayed at home. Weekedays travel to work already kinda tiring.

missmoon &amp; millie, i woke up in the middle of the nite for no reason a few times.. last nite oso.
Ya.. me oso coughing in the middle of my sleep. Drink some warm water.
 
hi angeline, some colleagues of mine said that they enjoy most during pregnancy but for me I feel the same as u... not easy task at all...

jazzyjas, missmoon &amp; millie, did u all tried chamomile like one suggested... i've tried n the effect quite good except for unexpected leg cramp...
 
hi may
ya, when i sit down for too long in the same position, i get this soreness around the tailbone area. not sure if it's from lack of blood circulation? i dun get it if i lie flat on my back though, it's always in seated position that this pain comes.

hi eeyore
i am starting to wear already cos by afternoon, i get so bloated that my clothes, esp old tops, cannot fit. i've been wearing maternity pants liao, cos my old pants cannot fit, since late in 1st tri. most of my tops are babydoll type, so dun really look like maternity tops.
