Wah bijou, u are amazing! I am really think about stopping at just one!
Anyway I wasn't planning to have any, cos I dun really like kids. But since I accidentally got pregnant, so bo bian. Hopefully my maternal instincts will kick in soon.
Hi Daisybuttons, sorry to hear u have eczema and rashes as well. I think moisturising your skin with a water based moisturiser will help.
I think some moms even know the gender of their babies as early as 11 weeks. 1 of my friends actually knew that she is expecting a boy through a normal ultrasound scan at 11 weeks. But I guess baby will have to cooperate for such cases (ie legs should not be blocking), and it is easily conclusive if it is a boy.

Oh no I left this forum for a few hours and I have so many to catch up!!!
pjen,
I went straight to work after my GP visit though and so far no nosebleed. I read through the internet and found out that I shouldn't try to control my sneeze. I should let it all out. I have a habit of holding my sneeze or holding my nose when I sneeze so probably my small little vein in the nose ruptured or something. Anyway, will keep a tissue paper handy next time.
Elaine,
Congrats for having a boy! Now that you're confirmed with a boy, could you please confirm some old wives tales? What's your diet like? What are you craving for? Do you have a clear complexion or do you break out? Do you look pale or radiant? Tell me anything! I'd love to have a boy too! So far, I do not break out and I have no particular diet and no craving for anything extreme too (like salty or sweet). So it's hard to tell!
ilovebabies,
Yep i heard that it's really common for the cord to cross the pubic area hence doc won't be able to see the genitals. I pray very hard it won't happen to my bb when I go for scan this Friday!

i just bought an Ipod today to start playing music to baby. How should I use it so that baby will be able to hear?
a - listen using the adult earphone
b - play aloud using the speaker dock
c - place speaker / earphone on tummy so that baby can hear through the tummy

Hi Angeline,
You can play it on a speaker dock or place earphone on tummy. Listening to earphones yourself will not work cos baby will not be able to hear.
Hehe, although I bought loads of things for baby, I have yet to buy a single piece of maternity wear. Looks like I have to start looking for some. Clothes are getting tighter. I can still get into my jackets and dresses, but am having problem with some of my skirts and pants.
I tried some maternity stuff last week, but I found most of them to have huge arm-holes (such that part of my bra is exposed), and the sizing does not really suit me.
Anyone here has the same problem? And the pants look quite strange. Some are V-shaped at the waist and a huge part of my tummy is exposed. The worst part is the bum area and thigh area is so large and roomy. Anyone has any nice maternity places with better fitting clothes to recommend? And what type of cutting is better? I am quite confused here. Some friends recommend that I buy only in my 5th month, when I should fit the maternity clothes better. There are others who said that it is better for the baby if I start wearing maternity clothes earlier...

hi amy

got yr details & updated liaoz..
Hi pjen,
You are so early too! I stay in SengKang and hubby and I work in town, so try to save $$$ these days by driving to work earlier to "escape" the 2 ERP gantries along the CTE. Once they get turned on at 7.30am, we will have to pay $3 for using the CTE alone in the morning everyday. And this is on top of the 50cts we pay for travellig home via CTE every evening.
Still haven't got used to the early hours yet. The worst thing is that my boss like to give me stuffs with tight deadlines and schedule meetings at 5 to 6pm. So I stay till 7.30pm to 8pm everyday. That makes me working 12-13 hours days everyday.
Thanks for the info! Maybe will pop by CityLink Mall mphosis during lunch today.
Dun worry about the weight gain. My baby also very uncooperative. Legs and umbilical cord are always in the way. I am going for my detailed scan on 5th May. Hope can know the gender then too!

hi Peachie,
Are you sure we can place the earphone on tummy for baby to hear? I did that previously and then after that, I read from some of the postings in this motherhood forum that doing so may cause the baby to be deaf leh.. Made me so worried.
I recall I read that a lot of Chinese women did this and it's not good for the baby. Don't know how true..
But it is more convenient for me to place the earphone on the tummy coz I don't have a CD player in the bedroom and I listen to my ipod and place one earphone in my ear and the other on my tummy. Now I don't dare to do that anymore

Hi Smiley,
Actually I also am not sure. This is how my friends play classical music for their babies.
I very lazy, so have not been doing anything. Maybe an easier method is to just play it on speakers.... then mother and baby can listen together.
Can get a cheap pair of Creative speakers which is abt $30 and link it to your CD player... then you can listen in the room.

I saw a documentary once tat says bb can hear the mother's voice best (for obvious reason lah). As for external sounds, they're usually muffled... like how u can't really hear when u're submerged in water?
Then another documentary says the same type of music tat ur bb hears b4 he's born can calm him after he's born. Mayb it reminds him of his peaceful time while in the womb.
btw, since so many of us r talking abt gender, hv u gals tried this gender predictor? Tell me if itz accurate.. i'm really curious to know!!

helo edksd, dun worry too much before the results r out kae, chances are you may not have it.
oh i dun know what is FBG test leh, sorry....
peachie, thanks. the thing is, my ezcema very funny one, its not purely dry skin with flakes, its hard and raised and those on my legs got pus. *gross*. i did try moisturising with lotion but it didn't help, at least for those on my legs..
oh about your question on maternity wear, those pants with v-shape waistline is the low waist cutting. not many ppl like it, i don't like it too. very funny. and if u pull it low enough so its not obstructing ur tummy, its too loose at the hips and thighs, so i know what u mean. try to buy those pants with waist height elastic bands instead, u will know when u see them. some allows u to fold the elastic portion over ur tummy when it grows bigger. now we just wear it folded down. my only pair of maternity pants, and 2 of my maternity skirts, is like that. so far, i have bought my clothes from 4 shops hehehee....going to hit 2 more tomorrow. You can try Mothers En Vogue at Delfi Orchard, i bought a very comfy pair of pants from there.
as for big armholes, think those u try on are too big sizes, or those cuttings thats not suitable for us. if u try those suitable ones at mothers en vogue u will noe the difference. or you can always buy dresses, which are more comfortable. i bought 3 dresses recently at a sale at Maternity House. think the sale no more, but they have a branch at plaza singapura, raffles place mrt, parkway parade and marina sq. I find their dresses quite pretty and the size suits me.
melissa, i also used to have this habit of "holding" my nose when sneezing, to prevent the mucus from splashing all over the place kind hehehee. but ever since there was one time i did that during pregnancy, and i got a sharp pain on my tummy, i scared oredi. so thereafter i just let it all out! hehehe. its better for the baby. but of course must cover if in public places lah.
pjen, i just pm-ed your my email eddy. think its better of every one PM you their email addy, then you can consolidate the send out to us.
oh i dun know what is FBG test leh, sorry....
peachie, thanks. the thing is, my ezcema very funny one, its not purely dry skin with flakes, its hard and raised and those on my legs got pus. *gross*. i did try moisturising with lotion but it didn't help, at least for those on my legs..
oh about your question on maternity wear, those pants with v-shape waistline is the low waist cutting. not many ppl like it, i don't like it too. very funny. and if u pull it low enough so its not obstructing ur tummy, its too loose at the hips and thighs, so i know what u mean. try to buy those pants with waist height elastic bands instead, u will know when u see them. some allows u to fold the elastic portion over ur tummy when it grows bigger. now we just wear it folded down. my only pair of maternity pants, and 2 of my maternity skirts, is like that. so far, i have bought my clothes from 4 shops hehehee....going to hit 2 more tomorrow. You can try Mothers En Vogue at Delfi Orchard, i bought a very comfy pair of pants from there.
as for big armholes, think those u try on are too big sizes, or those cuttings thats not suitable for us. if u try those suitable ones at mothers en vogue u will noe the difference. or you can always buy dresses, which are more comfortable. i bought 3 dresses recently at a sale at Maternity House. think the sale no more, but they have a branch at plaza singapura, raffles place mrt, parkway parade and marina sq. I find their dresses quite pretty and the size suits me.

wow! i was away for two days and really do need to catch up with this forum! haaa!
hey, i went for my check up on Sat and my gynae was able to determine the gender of my baby. He said baby is a boy. My in laws are happy except my hubby who wants a baby girl. He said that girl will be able to take care of siblings better.
To me, i think a healthy baby is most important.

yeah, only the mother who is carrying the baby is more concerned abt the health rather than the gender of the baby. whether it's a boy or girl, equally happy coz afterall the baby is a part of me, how can i discriminate him/her just becos of the sex.
those parents in law esp mother in law, they've been thru this stage before. they shld know there's nothing u can do to control the sex of the baby and no matter it's a boy or girl, it's still someone dearest to u. so why get extra happy just becos it's a boy. i dun understand.
but anyway, im glad my in laws and parents are open minded to this. next time when my daughter or daughter in law is giving birth, i'll oso be open minded.

hi i believe some of you may hv had blood test in TMC before. do u know roughly how long it take for the results to be out?
on monday, we went for the blood test ard 4pm. at 5pm+, my hubby's result was out and gynae informed me abt his thalassemia minor.
yday tuesday, i waited one whole day no call from them.
so this morning hubby called them up. the staff at my gynae clinic told him no news is good news. if there's anytg not so ideal, gynae will definitely call us like what she did on Monday evening.
but i wonder they did not call is it really becos everything is fine or they hv not received the result yet. sigh... im worried queen. so i'd like to know how long it takes for results on 3 tubes of blood to be out??

hi edksd,
totally true... sometimes, tradition still is alive in this modern world.. Sigh! To me, i don't really care of the gender... most importantly, health is most important and i still love my kids no matter if boy or girl. Glad to heard your in laws and parents are open minded....
Hi Bijiou,
Thanks!!

Hi Bijiou,
Thanks!!
77, maybe u can take a look at 9moi(swell) at Paragon, their maternity are quite nice and I am very petitie and it fitted me well since i can wear it during or after pregnancy. As for music, i advice you play it on speaker else if you put ear piece on ur tummy you wont know whether is it too loud for him since you put it so near.
edksd, i agreed with you regards to the gender thingy.
pjen, i will check and send the list to you in a short while

littlepony,
Congrats on having a boy. Now tell me your symptoms! hahaa.. I'm a little obssessed with having a boy b'cos the Chinese calendar told me I might be having a boy. BUT a girl will do fine too b'cos it's true what your hubby said, girls can take of their siblings better. My niece is first-born and really takes care of her baby brother well. They have this in-born motherly traits already hardcoded in them. So in terms of practicality, girls win hands down. I don't mind getting either.
edksd,
Think if you do the blood test in the morning, you can get the results on the same day. My test results were sent directly to my gynae at Gleneagles so we will only get to know it this Friday. That was like 3 weeks ago. I'm not so worried though. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy. No use worrying. Baby can feel you, you know.
About the speaker thing,
It's true that baby can hear mother's voice best. Outside everything is muffled. Remember that bb is inside the amniotic fluid. How can you hear well in water, outside layers of skin? Also if you need to put the speakers to your tummy, volume down please. The sound is very sensitive to baby's little ears. You can have hubby talk directly to your tummy. Surely there's feedback coming from bb.

Hi edksd,
I had my blood test done with my gynae who's at TMC too. When they didn't call me after a few days, I got worried, so I called them. They said everything is okay and they don't call unless it's bad news. I was quite upset becoz here I am, anxiously waiting for them to call! Anyway, I asked around and this practice is normal in S'pore. So, if they haven't called you, everything is probably alright. No news is good news! Anyway, they told me later that it takes about 3-5 days for the results to come out.
Hope this helps!

edksd,
Mine is the standard Oscar test. Heard only TMC is conducting Oscar test. Results is more reliable than other tests in 2nd trimester. Gleneagles don't have it. I asked my gynae already.
Smiley,
Chinese calender has a special calculation for age. It's not necessarily equal to the ang moh calendar. I found a website that calculates your chinese age during conception but can't seem to find it now. I am 29 by ang moh age but according to chinese age, I'm 30 at the time of conception, so that gives me a boy. Else girl lor.

hi Melissa,
Haaa! i really can't figure out if my symptoms are a good prediction of the gender of baby.
I guess what i can share is my skin gets ultra dry..i get red nose, sometimes. I can't be bother to doll myself up (before preggy, i veri vain)..
As for food, it's very funny that bb takes after the liking of food from my husband.
I am a big fan of fries! but my husband hates it.
I don't suffer from morning sickness at all.. but when i take fries, i vomit out the fries. I suspect my baby hates fries as well.
Well... i think the best is our own gynae! He or she will reveal your curiosity! Haaa!

Come one or 2 months time, most of us would know our baby gender by then and when we look back to this archived thread, we would find it amusing and memorable how each of us are trying to guess our baby's gender..
Treasure this moment now. Heehee... Anticipation can be sweet too...

i agree with smiley. Yes, it's quite fun to guess the gender of our baby and we have thought of hundred of names for each gender...then when gynae confirmed, you are just as excited becos you simply just screen for one gender's clothings instead of both! haaa! Yes, it's fun! Enjoy!
