(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

missmoon, ya, u monitor loh.. rem walk slowly & dun rush into things.
i have not seen the GP yet. The last time i went early this mth, i had blocked nose, he din sugg giving me nasal spray.
i dunno how 2 control, wan2 sneeze meant wan2 mah.. moreover mine is those consecutive 3 or 4x kind in a go.

Joline, prune juice helps in constipation. Guess prunes sd work the same loh..

YB, the last time i weighted, i lost weight. Have not gain any weight yet.

Hong, the ultrasound wd have the measurements of the bb rite? Coz mine have.
 


hong, ok...me looking forward to feel it...

Joline, juz simple cleaning up...need to keep away some of the clothing which cannot wear already...so got space for my maternity clothes...sat, hb will do the cleaning up...as hb every wkdays is having part time classes so he left wkend to help me out...
 
jazz, Joline,
yah.. so u all know how long bb is?

Joline,
i am taking prune, ok for me.

Angeline,
haha.. why he pour ice water over u? Tell him, i am the mother ok.. i know better than u.
yah i got the jumper, not the very long pant kind so no need to alter. Still got space for my tummy. Hopefully can wear till full term.

The one i got is soft denim, very comfortable.
Dun envy me, u get urs soon. BTW, where u get the jumper for ur hubby. Levis?

YB,
i am still losing weight. Hopefully i can gain after CNY. I was telling hubby the other day, gd time i lose weight now cos if i start gaining after CNY and 1 month ideally 1kg then i will be 70kg at birth and after birth shld be able to get rid 5-8 kg at one go.
 
Angeline,
I intended to have no.2 about 2 years difference, since we didn't have a maid, just me and hubby to cope with housechores, taking of children, etc. But somehow it didn't work out that way until now, and looking at my no.1 who is more prepared and looking forward to his mei mei (he claims that it's a mei mei), i think the timing is just right for us, cos' my no.1 is able to understand and communicate with us better now, compared to one year ago.

Joline,
Thanks for the tips. My friend even asked me to get my no.1 to sing song to my no.2, cos' she did that, and her no.2 responded to the no.1's singings when no.2 was born!

Hong,
I didn't really do much "tai jiao" with no.1, cos' didn't really do what to do ;P My gynea always measure how long is my baby every visit during the scan. My no.2 was 8.5mm during 7th week, and grew to 60mm during 12 week. BTW, I'm seeing Dr Adrian Tan at TMC.
 
Hi all,

On the issue of Tai Jiao, i get to know from my girl school (Shichida Mtd), reading aloud is not the way..they were saying mental reading is better, dun koe how true lah..
 
dear,
must be careful leh.. dun carry heavy things hor..now u remind me.. i feel so bored at home.. maybe should start clearing my wardrobe cos most clothes cannot fit in liao..

hong,
yeah.. me know my bb's length lor.. do u keep all the scanned pics? take a closer look, should have lor..

Laura,
Sounds amazing.. so more talking/singing does help to bond parents and bb closer lor..
 
Joline, thanks...dun worry i will be more careful...its u better dun over stress ur health...go n rest dun clear first lah...u shld be resting now...guai ok?

Angeline - *hugs* So sorry to hear that you are having a little "spotting". Please rest, rest, rest too!

eeyore - Serious? So, if I was having m/s + vomiting leh? However, boy or girl, I will love my little BB all the same!
happy.gif


jazzyjass - Nope, I don't sneeze that often. Have you gone to the doc? Its best to check and be safe.
happy.gif


dear - I guess most of us are... I remember when I was working last year. My boss (now ex-boss) also like that...don't like PG women and she shows it.
sad.gif


Laura - My m/s ceased quite a lot after reaching my 2nd trimester. BTW, when is your 2nd trimester?

Hong - So sorry to hear that you are losing weight! *hugs* I am opposite of you...keep gaining weight in my 2nd trimester. Wah, baby moving...so lucky!!! Tell us more about your experience.

Joline - Yup, I guess we will know the gender during our detailed scan.

MTBs,
Please remember NOT to work too hard or carry heavy things during your spring cleaning. Please leave it to your DHs to do.

Take care everyone!!!
 
js verify w other colleagues, not true abt the ms &amp; vomiting, she vomitted alot but bb gal... anyway, js hope tat bb is healthy is enough whether boy or gal...
 
I should be reaching my 2nd trimester soon, 1-2 weeks, i think. I sure hope to enjoy all the CNY home-cooked food, ie reunion dinner. I don't have appetite for dinners at all. I lost 1.5 kg in just 5 weeks (more effective in losing my weight compared to when I was preparing for my wedding ;p) Good thing that I know my baby is growing well inside.
 
eeyore - Yup, I all of us does not mind if its a boy or a girl as long as our little one is well.
happy.gif


Laura - Ah, reunion dinner...I always love reunion dinners!
happy.gif
So sorry to hear that you don't have any appetite at all. Please do eat a little - think of your BB, ok?
 
Laura,

Don't let your eyes pop out ah... I'm already the mild case here. My boy is currently approaching 11 mths in Feb.... Heh heh, I know it's very fast. But accidents do happen you see.....

Hong,

The Jumper I got for my hubby is bought when we went to KL for trip. Osh Kosh b'gosh..... can try purchase online. Last time I know Raffles City sells it in the Osh Kosh boutique, but I no longer see any in Singapore already. Actually, my hubby hit a point here. They will feel very uncomfortable in wearing it cos when it's them for them to relieve themselves, they will have to take off everything..... not like the usual way....

Jadepearl,

I'm feeling better now, though the cervix area still painful.... Prob, second pregnancy with a extremely sticky first baby to take care of, really is taking a toll on me.....
 
jazzyjas
hope the sneezing will ease off soon! ya lor, will have to monitor and see how. i had to take half day off yesterday cos i was feeling really nauseous
sad.gif
this is the second time that's happened to me, cannot walk for long cos the feeling of vomitting is really strong. haven't experienced this since early tri 1 though.
 
dear,
okie, hee.. i shall pack slowly and take more rest.. u too..

MTBs,
Do you normally sleep with legs wide open or closing tight? Do you get an extra pillow and place it in between legs if sleep with legs close? I just realised that I can't sleep with legs close as it will cause abs pain and sometimes even bleed..
 
Hi ladies

I just came back from my MCs.. got very bad headache.. wonder if you gals encounter this or not... Very bad headache.. gonna lie on the bed, once wake up, the pain is unbearable!
sad.gif
 
oh no, fruitee, is there anything that's safe enough for you to take for it? my headaches come only in the afternoon and when i'm extremely fatigued plus there's lots of work in the office.
 
Angeline,
My eyes didn't pop out.. hahaha
At times, I do wish that we had chop chop have no.2 soon after no.1, so now we should been coping well by now, rather than waiting till now to have no.2, then going thru' the whole baby caring process all over again. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it, every baby is different, so it'll be different experience again.

Joline,
I usually sleep with legs open, seemed to be more comfortable, else i'll have backache. I have not heard about pregnant ladies with such problem, have you checked with your gynea about this?
 
Joline
I not sure ley, never have such problems before.. Saw doc, he actually gave me 5 days MCs say it could be due to stress loh.. but I only took 3 days cos so many things not done yet loh..

Missmoon
I took the medication from the gynae loh... the pain is unbearable bo pian to take.. ;(
 
dear,
still have to check emails and settle important office stuff lor.. like that at least my boss won't show me black face when resumed work mar..
 
hong, i dun rem my bb's length leh.. but gynae said the range is ok.

japepearl, nope, have not seen the doc. Thot wd tell gynae on my next visit.

missmoon, nauseous &amp; vomit can make 1 tired i find. Better 2 rest then stay in the office &amp; face the pile of work. R u better today? Try &amp; rest more.. dun walk abt esp alone outside.

fruitee, i think u r too stressed out over work. Better take care.
 
Hi Angeline, Laura and eeyore,
Yup, if our BBs are all born on 25th July, then they can say that they are truly "tong nian tong yue tong ri sheng".

Joline,
I usually sleep on my side, hugging my bolster. Otherwise, both my nostrils will become blocked if I were to sleep facing upwards or downwards.

Do you gals experiece blocked noses? I try to refrain from using nasal sprays although my gynae says it's safe.

Fruitee,
Theses few days, I am staring to get headaches as well, probably due to the lack of sleep. Sounds like you got a stressful job. Maybe you can try to relax or go shopping for CNY stuff? Do take care.
 
Jazzyjas
ya loh.. that's what the doc says also...
sad.gif


Sunshine
Wanted to go shopping ley but hor.. the headache killing me ah...
sad.gif
 
Hi Joline,
I also sleep on my side hugging my bolster so that at least I can breath thru 2 nostril.

Hi MTBs,
Do you experience cramping on the side of the upper stomach??
 
hi all
for those who have bought under belly maternity jeans, do you but the size that fits you now (at the hips)or did you gals buy a size larger? cos i finally bought a pair from mothercare and though s size was comfortable, salesgirl adviced me to buy larger cos can use longer however m size quite ill fitting at the hips i.e got abt an inch of excess material.

any of you had the same advice?
 
Millie,

I had the same advise. Normally, I'm wearing M, but yesterday, the sales lady got me L instead. Say room for development.

Hong,

I am really sinful. I went to 9Mois at Paragon and splurge away $227 dollars at 2 tops and 1 jeans 3/4..... Now I am finding ways and means to be accounted for this amount to my hubby liao. Haiz......

Laura,

I agree with you. Sometimes thinking back, it might be a blessing to go through everything at once. And everything can be passed down rather than having to buy a new set all over again. But still, financially, it's going to be a strain.
 
hi YB, i get this pulling sensation on the side of upper tummy, but not cramping. does your cramping ard that area hurt?

hi millie, i was told to buy size that fits you now. cos material should be stretchable mah, so got room to grow. that's wat the sales lady at 9mois told me, and i read from some websites that advise the same thing.
 
angeline, u still better than me, the first time i bought from pretty mum, i spent $500/- when my hb asked I dun even dare to say out the price... but luckily he js keep quiet mayb bcos of the small one inside...
 
Angeline,
WOW.. that add up to ur maternity cost! hahaha.. CNY ok lah.. just gave new clothes for CNY as a reason lor.

Japepearl,
I am ok. Just that the appetite will drop when come to dinner. Morning appetite is gd. So i try to eat more in the morning.

Millie,
i got L under belly skirt. Not becos it meant for expansion but tat is my hip size. so can imagine i am not very tiny mother. Now L fit me very comfortably and i dun tink will expand too much for me cos is under belly.
 
missmoon, r u alright? Am better. Went 2 Raffles City yest hoping 2 get pants from CH Robinsons. I went &amp; try the Size US14.. keke.. din buy any coz no suitable size &amp; cant belt oso. Bt bought bra &amp; sandals.
happy.gif


Last nite b4 sleep, eyes itchy again (almost nightly.. haiz....).. today right eyebag puffy n pinkish. A colli commented tat i look haggard.

Angeline, 9Mois at Paragon is a maternity wear shop?

Fruitee, r u better?
 
YB,
Me too got cramping sensation at stomach when I sleep, but it's at lower stomach portion near abs lor.. tot it's my gastric pain.. dunno what's the real cause leh..
365490.gif
 
jazzyjas, i'm fine, thanks. glad to know you're better too!!
happy.gif
wah, so good, managed to get stuff from Robinsons. my colleague told me she bought a set of maternity clothing consisting of a pair of tights, a black top and another white top plus a dress - all for about 300 dollars. dunno if they still have it? huh, you try so big size?

ya, these days my eyes itchy also, sometimes cannot tahan scratch and rub them then wash wif water. 9mois is a maternity shop wif trendy stuff
 
missmoon, now Robinsons sales mah.. bra i buy the same as wat i wore b4, bt in bigger sizes.. hee.. Thot try the biggest size avail for pants, can wear longer mah.. haha! Bt cant make it lah.. simply too big. Din buy any maternity stuff, bt bought 2 tops in the biggest size.
happy.gif


Itchy eyes very test our tolerance hor?
 
dear,
had slightly more longer sleep last nite. later evening time going to PIL's house for re-union dinner.. very scared i cannot tahan cos normally by 7pm I must go on bed liao.. maybe later at noon try to take a nap.. u at work now? is everything ok?
 
dear,
not yet.. just cooked oats bran for my bfast..downstair v noisy lor.. dun wan to let bb listen to those music so i stay in my study room and serve net lor.. hubby not working.. dun understand how come he can sleep so peacefully even I leave the window open big big..
 
jazzyjas, orh, i see. ya me too lah, just buy bigger size with underwire. but sometimes veli uncomfortable by afternoon time cos of bloating. itchy eyes, itchy throat, sensitive nose...annoying lor. feel frustrated and helpless when it comes all at once.

fruitee, hope you're able to have more rest.
 
missmoon, me din buy underwire, juz those soft non-padding bra.
i know wat u meant.. irritated &amp; helpless right?
Last nite, trying 2 "ren" my itchy eyes dowan rub then pelvic area, abs &amp; tummy outa blue had a "uncomfy pulling" running all over..
sad.gif

Juz went 2 puke.. thot i am ok already.

Fruitee, how abt take a break every 1hr, juz close ur eyes rest for 5mins? Take a drink of water.
 
Ladies
U have any idea where I can get bras &amp; panties for pregnant women?

Missmoon
Hopefully this weekend can have a good rest loh... &amp; will get better though..
happy.gif


Jazzyjas
ya loh... later lunchie will try to eat abit bit of snake...
 


hi ahngeline, missmoon, hong
thanks girls for the advice. i should have followed my instinct and bought the one that fits me now. read somewhere that should buy pre pregnancy size as well but guess salesgirl too convincing. now gotta take the trouble to do an exchange.
