littlepony, sigh tell me about it. though most ppl say i getting bigger, whenever 1 or 2 say i look small, i feel so sian loh. tell me i must eat more. then it makes me feel like they think i am starving myself to look pretty, when in fact i am not! so nowadays, to reply to such comments, i will tell them there's no standard way to look during pregnancy. as long as baby weight is around average healthy weight, then i am doing fine! right?
wei kuan, hehehe i have the same prob as you. i tried all the 3 combinations of code given in the webbt but it dun turn out in this forum. no prob in other forums leh. so i wonder is it the format loh. end up what i did is just save the ticker as a pic and insert pic lah! hehehe. every day update the ticker loh.
if u find out how to do it pls let me know. i like the snuggle site's tickers.
i feel like emailing chin leng to ask leh.

Bena, don't worry! I read online (some pregnancy website) that if we breastfeed daily, we can burn up to 800 calories per day!!!!! That's like intense cycling for 2 hours! Guess who's going to breast-feed for as long as she can? 
Daisybuttons, take care. I had the flu recently too and tahan for 1 day, but then couldn't take it anymore, had to take medication for 1 day. I think it did speed up my recovery. What to do? No choice! Stupid hospital! (i think that's where I caught the bug)
I think it'll be better to check with your gynae if yoga is ok for you. I don't know if they do lots of squats, I'm attending pre-natal pilates classes now and we do do some squats, not a lot of it though. If you're interested to find out more about pilates, just let me know and I can share my experience.
We're looking at the Britax Royale too. If you're keen on that, the best price I've seen so far is at Motherworks --> $358, after the 15% discount. Check out their website...
www.motherworks.com.sg
We saw the Classic and Supersafe models at Kiddy Palace last night. Cheaper. $249, but no discount.
Littlepony, thanks for the tip, I'll wear socks and keep my fingers crossed. Stupid leg cramps woke me up again last night

daisybuttons...yeah, mi most likely a princess. The last time went gynae cannot 100% confirm. hopefully next week can confirm
For me, i actually put on all the weight ard my torso...face, shoulders, arms and legs not so much leh...anyway, i try not to be bothered by the weight (but very hard lah)...after delivery then worry about it.
Maybe u are right that having a boy put on less weight...littlepony also having a boy...

Bena, maybe those old wives' tales are true. I'm expecting a boy and my weight gain so far is 7kg and I'm in week 27. So far, 95% of the people I've met have guessed that I'm having a boy. I used to think it was a coincidence, but so many people have guessed it right! It's strange.
Littlepony, I used to be worried about "looking small" coz so many of my friends/family/colleagues have said that. But I was stressing myself out (and my husband, coz I kept asking him EVERYDAY - "Do I look pregnant today?") so now I tell myself that the baby's weight is in the normal range, and that's most important!

helo bena, oh really that means motherworks is cheaper than robinsons! hhmmm but i can't get into the link u posted leh...how come ah? so are you buying?
dunno leh, that time hor i took one time cough mixture, then i feel so guilty! though i know its dangerous only if u take in 1st tri, but can't help feeling guilty leh. now i just pray and take care of my health and drink more water. hopefully my body can fight it on its own.

oooops!! Sorry, daisybuttons... it's motherSwork, not motherworkS! Here's the link...

...and it's $372.30. They also have the Meridian model at $509.15.
We haven't decided yet... so many to choose from! I like the Royale coz it comes with the messy mat lah... the lower end models don't have that. I think the sunroof is quite useless though!

Joon, really ar? hhmm...for my case is totally opp from u...heheh...95% of the ppl all guessed that i am having a boy...but they are all wrong. heheh...they really dropped specs
My cousin (1 boy) and aunty (2 boys), both put on 24 and 26 kg respectively...and they really looked preg
My cousin (1 boy) and aunty (2 boys), both put on 24 and 26 kg respectively...and they really looked preg
My tummy look small too,though i have gain abt 14 kgs so far! All the ppl commented that it is quite small for 6 mths preggie women
If i am sitting at my desk, no one can tell i m preggie by looking at my upper part of the body....
Btw, I also put on 4 kg within a month, my gynae said the average gain weight shd be abt 2 kg per month but tik he is not too concern abt my weight gain cos i was underweight before i m pregnant. I also heck care, juz eat wat i want and as n when i m hungry (almost every hr i m hungry, hahah.....)

Yuna, u having a princess or a prince? For me, i was over-weight when i was much younger (in fact, i was never normal weight) then i lost a lot of weight and became alightly under-weight...so before preg, i was slightly under-weight...and i increased about 2kg per month for the 1st 2 months of preg and since then, it's always up up up for my weight
Joon, maybe it's my family's gene that we put on a lot of weight
Heheh...all your tickers are cute!

Joon, haaa! yes, looks like you getting nearer leh... although i am just 2 weeks away from you...
I know! It's so fast! Now I wish it can last longer... I'm starting to get used to all the special treatment. After the delivery, everyone will be concerned about the baby, not us, haha.
Bena, I love the little kicks too! Everyday I look forward to them and the other day, I said "ooh!" during a meeting... so embarrassing.
Yuna, congrats on your little girl
They are so fun to shop for
Littlepony, like your ticker
but how ah? I try to cut and paste the instructions but cannot

Girls, I have been eating durians the last few weeks and surprisingly I manage to control my weight... 1.5kg in 3 weeks... used to be more than 1kg per week b4 I started on the durians..
But I dun eat a lot at one go, like one box can spread to 2-3 nites. I also cut down on my carbo intake (less rice/noodle, less bread) and treat durians as my supper...
I eat durians 'cos of craving and also I feel my tummy is too small and I'm worried that my baby is too small. My gynea dun take measurement of my baby so I do not know the weight.
This week I have stopped eating durians 'cos no more stock liow

Hi Bena, I don't see my gynae using any special equipment. When I do my monthly scan, the weight appears in a little corner on the little print-out she gives me. During the scan, she takes some measurements, but that's about it. No special equipment. I think it's just an estimate based on the length of the baby, length of his/her legs, width of the head etc...
Yup, ask your gynae! Good to know to keep track

Hi Bena,
Me as well. I envy how others know about the weight of their baby but my gynae didn't tell me much about weight. And i don't see it in my records as well.
I will be going for check up in 2 weeks' time and i think i will definitely try to find out from him.
Oh.. as for the tickers.. i just attached it. Sorry.. type wrongly.. say it's cut n paste. No.. i also dunno how to figure it out.

daisybuttons,
it's me who wanted PIS ADvanced. Bought it at MOtherhood Fair le. $699 with free Famidoc Infrared Thermometer worth $69.90 and a pack of 30 disposable bra pads worth $10.30.
The Cheong Choon store u mentioned - is it the one at Upper Cross Street? I heard u can order baby essentials and they deliver to u free if amt is high (dunno how much though..). Any idea if this store sells bb stuff at cheap prices? I may want to pop by to take a look.

Puppylove,
I read from other threads about Cheong Choon store. It's quite small shop and they do not keep stocks of all the stuff you may want. You have to go there well prepared , with a list of things you want to buy, and then ask the salesperson how much they will quote you. Other than that, it's not much to look at in the shop.
This is what i've read from other threads. I personally pass by before once (before i preggy) and not very appealing..

helo puppylove, oh then ur deal at the fair sounds better lah hehehe. yep thats the cheong choon. i think their amount also not so high lah. i enquired abt a stroller they also say can deliver. yes they sell baby stuff like towels, powder, avent, wipes, musical mobiles, etc at good prices. but hor, its best u compare the price outside, then call them with the exact model to check. coz they dun keep a lot of stock. and now got GSS right, some major departmental stores with 20% off will come up to quite good prices. so maybe these u wanna get outside.
littlepony, daisybuttons,
thanks for the tip! Didn't know the store is so small-scale! Think i'd better take advantage of the GSS then!
daisybuttons,
the deal at the fair is still quite expensive, but as mentioned, i was tired of hunting around for better deals and i couldn't get from US altho' price is only US$319!! Anyway, I'm glad i've settled this item le. Got a lot of other things to settle b4 bb arrives!!

hi girls,
i went to e parentcraft class last nite at TMC, Mrs Wong got talk abt how to prevent leg cramps during e lesson, she says leg cramps seldom cos by deficiency of somethg... most probably is due to cold. so she advise those with leg cramps n cant have e blanket covering e legs thoroughout e whole nite of sleep (i mean those who likes to kick e blanket away while sleeping) can try wearing socks when u sleep.
talking abt heartburn.... is not e discomfort tat u feel... e feeling is like hot air coming out from ur stomach passing through e throat. during this time u will feel pain on e chest.

Hi daisybuttons, thanx for checking with the moderator... so-desu-ne! All of us here were going crazy, trying to put it in, haha. Ya, we might either go for the Royale or the Classic ($249). The Royale looks plushier and more comfortable, has added attachments... How much is it at Robinsons?
Motherswork is quite big and worth making a trip down. I'm sure they have changing mats.
They carry some high-end stuff, so those are not cheap. (eg: there's a cot there going for about $1,500!)
ilovebabies, how much did you pay for your Britax Royale? I'm thinking of that one too
Wow, forgetmenot, you slept really late last night! Aiyah, me too... lately, find myself so full of energy that I cannot sleep early.
