(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

hi sandy
i find that cutting down on food that causes bloating helps a lot, like beans, cabbage, brocoli etc. as for giddiness - apparently during 2nd tri our cardiovascular system undergoes dramatic changes, and blood pressure is probably lower than usual.
 


okipoki, ya lor. feel this usually after meals. haha, i can see the change in the shape liao.

mtdt, i do get that stretching feel on lower right side of abdomen...i told gynae, he didn't seem concern, so i guess it's ok lah. my colleague told me toward 3rd tri, will get worse, like stitches type.
 
Missmoon,

my belly button hole getting smaller by the day, my hb also find it very cute , dunno will pop out eventually anot...

Sandy,

My tummy is very obvious at 19 weeks now, belly ard 34 inches liao, but tink it's cos i eat alot so grow fat fast lar.
For my cousin , she customary at 5 months, so for gown, she wear the many layers with laces to conceal, not very obvious aft all coverage. So dun worry, enjoy ur big day n just be happy bride k ?

thanks missmoon for the info...
i was getting paranoid abt it liao! hahha...

last few weeks is always at the left hand side... these 2 weeks is on the right hand side... take turns!! faintz! :p
 
LiMay - Wow...your kids are so cute! Congrats in getting a prince for #3!
happy.gif
Love the names too!

Jasline - Don't worry too much! Everyone is different. *hugs* If you really need re-assurance, you can always call your obgyn. That's what I did when I came back from my CNY vacation...worried about my little bb.

Sandy - My tummy is big compared to when I am not PG. But, when others look at my tummy, they tend to say its pretty small. Oh well, I guess it because I am a 1st time MTB. I was doing some reading and it stated that the bb is still at our lower part of our abdomen now. BB will only move up at week 23 onwards and then you can really really see the whole tummy ballooning up.
happy.gif
As long as your obgyn is OK with it, don't worry too much about your tummy. Furthermore, don't worry about the customary thingy either coz you guys have ROM already and that is legal in the eyes of the whole wide world.
happy.gif
As YB mentioned, get a beautiful dress which will cover your tummy (eg: babydoll style)

YB - Can't wait for my offical kick.
happy.gif
However, the flutterings really makes me smile...wonder if anyone in the mrt/bus think I am crazy...lol..smiling to myself and rubbing my tummy?

Angeline - Hmm, maybe I did. I will pay more attention from now on. Thanks for the info!
happy.gif
Wah, can't wait to experience the last stage of being PG...so excited.
happy.gif


jazzjas - Yup, I guess we will all know our bb gender by then and we will be busy buying bb's sutff.
happy.gif


okipoki - lol...can't wait for my detailed scan! Excited but nervous too...

hong - I guess we really have to "pu" and get some exercise in so that we can our delivery is smooth and easy.
happy.gif


missmoon - Yup, that's what I heard too! However, mine is still OK - haven't pop-out yet!

Hmm... I think i got to change my gown already. Lucky i am not the only one that have customary atr 5th month.
But my worry is never ending, cos my MIL never show any concern till now instead war is starting. I started to dislike her and especially my HB's brother-in-law.
He blame me for not taking good care of her 3 year old daughter when i brought her out to buy tibits for her. She actually fell down suddenly while i let her walk herself back to my HB shop which is less than 50M away and the pavement is smooth.
This girl have been trying to catch attention ever since her baby sister is born.
Hiaz..
 
Sandy - So sorry to hear about the troubles! *hugs* Its not easy to handle so many things at one time esp. now that you are PG too. Hang in there, OK? Please think of your little bb. We are all here for you if you need to vent!
happy.gif
 
Li May
Congrats on having a boy boy this time. Finally can close shop liao right? heehee!

Mummies,
Baby Kicking
I feel the stretching and pinching everyday and is getting hard and not comfortable.

Stomach
My stomach is obvious and just measure yesterday and it's 32 inches! My colleagues comment my stomach look small. Heehee! Anyway, i still haven't wear maternity dress. Still wearing pre-pregnancy dress and babydoll tops.
 
missmoon, if bb dun kick, wun know how bb is until the next ultrasound. Bt i feel its growing loh.. when i c my tummy
happy.gif

dunno isit a stretch.. bt tummy uncomfy at times, then my belly button seems like getting smaller.

sandy, how abt try ginger tea?

Isit normal to be giddy, lightheaded outa blue? Have experienced it for the past 2 days.
 
dun worry, jazzyjas. different mtbs will feel bb kicking/moving at different weeks of the pregnancy. so long as bb growing/tummy growing, shld be fine. anyway, appt to see gynae coming up very soon
happy.gif


i was feeling giddy very often during 1st tri but i read that it's normal to be giddy because of changes in the cardio system, blood pressure will normally be lower than usual.
 
missmoon, thanks.. i am counting down the days when i can c bb during ultrasound.
happy.gif


Ya, me oso giddy during 1st tri coz then morning sickness + din eat much.. Now is when i walk or sit too long, wanna get up then lightheaded. These 2 days were those "outa blue" when i not doing anythg.
 
jazzyjas, oh, then it's really cos our blood pressure is lower? they advise not to suddenly get up from chair or esp bed. just hold on to something or stand still when feeling that.

take care
happy.gif
 
YB,
It's good that you now have normal thyroid hormone levels. Hopefully, after the pregnancy, your condition will improve.

Angeline,
Yes, i am trying to take more fruits and control my carbo intake as instructed by my gynae. Guess after giving birth, I will also maintain the weight gained throught the pregnancy.

Sandy, I don't think your tummy will be very obvious since your waistline is only 26 inches. So maybe you can select those strapless or off-shoulder empire-cut gowns which I think look gorgeous.

missmoon,
Part of my belly button looks like it'd gonna pop, while the rest remained the same. hee, so weird...

Jazzyjas,
Like you, I also felt giddy in the 1st trimester. I read that sometime in the 2nd trimester, once our blood volume has increased sufficiently and the blood circulation is much improved, the giddy spells will disappear. Maybe yours will go away with time?
 
Do u feel the day is short? As in after work go home, shower, by the time everythg is done, almost 9pm++, can blow hair &amp; zzz already.
yawn.gif
 
Hi Jazzyjas
I also feel so. By the time after bathe, finish dinner, so late liow. Then it is time for zzzzz liow. Like not enough time like that.
 
sunshine, haha. mine too, one side starting to pop. and some more i was quite scared to see the transformation. now i'm more assured.

jazzyjas, definitely day is shorter. after work have dinner, go home. by time finish, really time to slepp liao.
 
sunshine, ya, i hope so. Thanks.
happy.gif


jas, har noh.. its like no nid 2 do anythg much, then must sleep already.. i find if i sleep ard 11pm, i wd still woke up ard 2am 2 go loo. So i must sleep ard 10pm then enuff. Coz i wd wake up again ard dawn.

missmoon, bt like tis time like pass by very fast. Juz tat sometimes the working day like kinda long.. hee..
Clinic juz called me (coz we requested them to), said the triple test &amp; prenatal blood test all OK.
happy.gif

Bt i forgot 2 ask abt the urine sample i took.. nurse din mention so sd be ok.
 
Hi Jazzyjas,

Me too...i feel that the earliest I reached home and settle down will be at least 9 plus...i really envy some of my colleagues who are home by 7pm.
 
Okipoki-Ok the oposite clinic. My HB computer shop there also. DR Henry is his regular customer for computer servicing. Heehee . Wanted to go look for him but he is very expensive.
Maybe i have bump into u b4 lol
 
Sandy / Okipoki, maybe i hv bumped into either of u b4 as well! Don't go to the gynae clinics there but it's near my place in Sin Ming, so go there to makan quite often!
 
Sandy - Erhm dont know is he consider expensive or not cos my sis recommended me. But he is a very nice and humourous gynae.
happy.gif


Lok - Your gynae is from where ??
happy.gif
 
Okipoki, my gynae is based at TMC itself ... quite convenient 15 mins drive from where I stay and from my office.
 
Morning ladies !!

Lok - Thats good, should choose a gynae between ur office &amp; home cos we won't know when are we going to deliver.
happy.gif
 
Hmm... i think normally u will take a week leave b4 your due date and rest at home. Not like those u saw on TV, that go on to delivery suddenly.. lol
 
morning gals..
happy.gif


missmoon, ya.. now juz look fwd to the next visit.
btw, if i feel a tiny "thud" on n off.. isit bb moving? i not sure.

lok, tat's gd loh.. my gynae near 2 my office bt kinda far from my home.

sandy, a colli who gave birth in Dec, she work til she deliver. Juz woke up 1 morning then go deliver, ard 38wks i thk.
 
Hi Sandy,

My previous pragnancy, I also worked till I give birth. I was in office when I saw blood stain on my panty liner and just told my supervisor, it's time, and off I go. Think I prefer it this way, don't wanna waste my maternity leave just like that. Ha ha ha....

Jazzyjas,

Ha ha ha, tiny thud. Most prob is baby moving cos only baby is occupying that area. Very cute and very facinating.

Sunshine,

The real reason I maintained my weight after giving birth is because I ate lots of carbo during confinement. My hubby often say that I'm eating carbo for revenge. Ha ha ha, maybe....

Yesterday I went to the Gynae and checked some pain at the lower abdominal area, and when Gynae was scanning my baby, he suddenly told me, seems that the testicle is gone?!!! Shucks... I dare not hold high hopes again. I shall wait for the detail scan to tell me the real thing. He shouldn't say that to make my heart flutter with excitement. Haiz.
 
Sandy, Angeline
For my 1st pregnancy, me worked till I gave birth. My gal decided to pop on 37 weeks. Me bo bian.

Anyway, this pregnancy i wish to do the same, work till give birth. Dont wish to waste my precious maternity leave.
 
sandy, i wd pref to take leave in advance..
happy.gif


fruitee, angeline &amp; missmoon, dun thk its a "pain" so i describe as a "thud", m/o, juz "thud" n go .. its ard the right abdomen centre. If its bb moving.. hee.. its great!
happy.gif
 
Angeline,
so there's some hope ;P
Update us after you had the detailed scan.

NOIF,
I also wish to work until it's time to give birth. My 1st pregnancy, my boy just wanna to pop out on 33th weeks!
 
jazzyjas, sounds like mine. i describe it more like a gentle nudge since it's not painful and not a "poke" either.

angeline, wow, who knows your wish may come true. when is your detailed scan?
 
NOIF,
yap, my boy decided to leak my water bag one fine night, and he pops out to receive ang baos, else he was supposed to come out after CNY.

My baby in my tummy is now deciding how I should sit. In office, I usually sit cross-legged on my chair to work. But baby didn't like it, perhaps she was squashed, so she will move around, like pushing for some space to be more comfortable. Once I put my legs straight to sit, she's fine.
 
missmoon, i feel it again juz now.. 2x in a row, right side. Ya, like u describe, like a tiny nudging. Wd this "nudging" move ard? Sometimes right, left, up, down or elsewhere?

fruitee, hee.. am touched.
happy.gif
 
Hi MTBs,

my baby gave me a kick again this morning as i was getting out of bed. Maybe she got a shock by the sudden movement. Hahahha..sometimes when I yawn, the baby will kick also. Maybe she thinks its rude to yawn in public...Heehehe

Btw, anyone experience cervical pain? I experienced it one nite and it feels like a dilation. It's quite scary. Have not asked gynae about it yet. Could it be becos I walked too much on some days?
 
missmoon, really? So tat means the nudging would not be at the same spot everytime loh?

sandy, i juz felt the nudging today. Its kinda tiny, perhaps u din realise it? Soon u can feel it too.
happy.gif


may, u staying in Punggol? Coz i am, tat's y when i got home after dinner, it wd be 8+pm.
 
jazzyjas, haha, i'm guessing only. i like to think so lah cos there's no other explanation for it mah.

sandy, dun worry. some people feel it earlier, others a bit later. it seems that some experience only week 20 onwards.
 
oh, is that the bb movement? Sometimes I feel it too, like "popcorn popping" usually around evening time. Only like 3 or 4 times and easy to miss if don't pay attention. I intend to work till I deliver then go on long maternity leave + my own leave..

Nowadays, I try to go home earlier, leave around 5+ to 6. If need be, then continue to work from home. I feel better that way. Of cos, it only works when my team doesn't need me physically in office...
 
Hi mummies! how's lunch? i got diarrhoea this morning, n slight pain just now. hope it wil get better else tonite gg to see a GP.

V-day:
Hubby n i went to Jap res and when gg home time, he surprised me w flowers.

Lok:
dont mind can u give me LTX's contact no.? where is he located at? sorry if i ever ask u tis qs. b4. memory is failing me. last wk i forgot to switch off iron after ironing my work clothings n went to work. When i reached hm, then i realised it. alamak.
For me, i take all 3 supplements altogether at 1 shot, think shld be okie bah??

missmoon:
actually i read fr newspaper n article saying that Sardines is good as its low mecury. me taking once per wk, as for other fish, i take some other day. Fish is gd for bb's brain. but avoid shark, tuna...
Yes bb's movement can occur on left, middle or right side of our lower abdomen, quite cute one.
happy.gif
yes i got this stretching sensation too feel like tummy like gg to burst. hehe try applying some cream or lotion if u hv.

Angeline:
i added u in MSN liao. we can chat over there. No wonder its bcos ur hubby fish lover lol...then ask him eat lesser fish. Instead i shld ask my hubby eat more fish liao.
is the sling useful? usually can use til when? worth it to invest one anot?
373323.gif


NOIF:
eh actually not sure abt tuna cos heard high mercury? u can try using mercury calculator to predict e mercury level. http://www.gotmercury.org/

Bb's Movement:
usually how i detect bb's movement is i wil lie down on my bed n then lightly tap tap on my lower abdomen then my bb wil respond n its quite fun leh. sometimes when i listen to classical music FM92.4 at nite, i can feel her kicks too.
During my detailed scan, very funny. i think my bb feel annoyed cos gynac checking her heart, brain n other organs n then she keep giving me alot of kong fu kicks n i can feel it instantly n from the screen, i can see her kicking. then even w/o the gynac's screen, i can visualise how my bb kicking me inside. lol

373324.gif


me already starting to wear maternity clothings since tis wk as i just approach 20 wks. been wearing dresses w cardigarn more often. dresses loose more comfortable.

japepearl:
me too at 20wks, ppl comment my tummy small. eh actually those tummy big one usually boy, then tummy small usually girl n i m expecting a girl, not sure how true it is. yes i can feel bb is now at my lower abdomen as i can feel her kicks ard that area.

Nowadays i cant knee or bend down like last time else wil feel pain on my abdomen.

hey actually my gynac same as Lok, at TMC n considered very far from my home in the West. But hubby said its alrite cos everytime he wil accompany n drive me there. but frens advised me to look for gynac near my hse better? but my fren recommended me Dr. Yvonne Chan at TMC. so no choice.
