Janice, that's why I say it's a very personal thing lor. So nothing absolute abt owning a car or not. So long as one feels comfortable lor. Hence, I think it's very difficult to advise someone to buy or not to buy. Need to consider the disposable income, the committment already have, the frequency that one needs to travel around with bb, etc.....

Janice, prob you misread my posting. I said the antenatal class say lying on tummy best way to cure heartburn, but for our case now we can only use the 2nd best choice that is to lie on the side. Not sure if lying on tummy will reduce the oxygen to bb, but definitely not comfortable for our current situation and also may hurt ourselves and bb. And lying on our back will prob reduce the blood flow to bb, hence reduce oxygen supply. In class they say to avoid this as bb's whose mummy lie on their back will prob develop less well than bb's whose mummy lie on their side when sleeping. But sometimes can't help it, I started with lying on my side, but when wake up, I'm lying on my back liao.

Wei Kuan, I saw your favourite golden kiwi at NTUC today and bought 5 to try. Really a lot sweeter than normal kiwi.
Mummyjoy, I use a bolster when sleeping. I think I don't sit to the back of the chair, in fact I hunch my back, very bad.

janice, actually I'm like you when i sleep on my left side, my hand always in pain and I'll wake up in the iddle of the night. But these few days I try right side, not so bad. Maybe bcos I was already used to sleeping on right side even b4 preg. Though sleeping on left was suppose to be the ideal, but bcos of the pain I can't lor.

Hi all, Need to check if anyone suffers from terrible backaches? Cuz im now only 24weeks preggie but suffers from this unbearable back pain recently..Dunno how im going to survive this pregnancy.. Sometimes, I have to stop walking (even when im outside) cuz the pain becomes so unbearable.. Eveyday, getting out of bed is becoming a problem cuz from lying position, I cant sit up without my maid's help! Even when I sneeze or cough, my back hurts..
Need to check if this is a common problem or I need to consult a specialst..Thanks!

Crsytallized, cos hb and I never get onto our own bed unless we already bath and change, so we also strict on others lor. And my gf is the kind to nua on pple's bed, so no, no to let her onto my bed. 
bliss, you might want to consult your gynae first. In class we were told that some pple are more prone to backache as our muscle relaxed, but it's better to find out if it's juts that or if it's like Vivian's case. I had bad backache during wk24 too, but it lasted 3 days then I'm fine again. Sometimes can be stress induced...Hope you'll get well soon.
Jenny, I tried the swiss roll. Very nice. Not gelat as the cream is very light and since it's cool, very yummy. Now you make me crave for it.

aspialle, I read, I surf the net, I watch TV, I go for walks and talk to bb about the surroundings. Sometimes I just stare at the air and do nothing. A few times I go out and meet friend for lunch. So can your hb make it this Sat? Bcos the last time I know that during this big lecture they actually have a talk on Fatherhood which is good for hb to hear. Hopefully your hb can come.

coral,
yah true lah, usually we oso bath and chg into clean set of clothes then climb onto our bed, so we dun like it when others juz come and sit w/o asking. anyway so far when frens visit, they will usually ask b4 sitting, so its alrite wif me.
and no one in the family has a habit of juz coming in and sit on the bed, so not an issue. luckily not, else if like Selina SILs, i wld hv screamed my head off!!!
Jenny,
wah so yummy! i wanna try ur swiss roll oso!!!!
how come swiss roll can freeze for so long?
wun it affect the eating texture? aiyoh, make me drooling now.
hey same here on sleeping habits. last time i rem i can fall asleep easily when i hit my bed. but nowadays, not as easy anymore, and even if i do, i am easily awokened by little sounds and its hard 2 fall into deep sleep thereafter. quite frustrating. and my frequent nite toilet trips haven diminish a single bit, so v distracting.
bliss
ur case sounds quite serious. might wanna check wif ur gynae. did u try to get up the properly way? by turning to ur side, use ur hands to support ur weight to get up? cannot ask the maid to pull u up ok? will do more harm. take care.

jo,
wow. you finish the class so soon? aspialle, coral, vivian n myself only attended 2 lessons so far, going for our thrid on sat.
i think epidural is very common but personally i'm not for it as will try to endure. it really depends on individual pain tolerance level.

NO! NO! dun get ur maid to pull u up!!! it will hurt ur back more. the correct way is like wat i said, to turn to ur side (either one but preferably on ur left) use ur left hand to form a 90 deg, then ur right hand will push u up fr the bed. this will help to lessen the problem. u try it. u cant get up as pre-pregnancy like doing sit-ups. will cause injury.
jo,
lessons r to prep us, but when labour comes, we usually 4get everything! so best if ur hb can rem some breathing techniques as he is supposed to b the calmer one when u r in labour.

Selina, I also get upper back pain. The doctor say it's more like stress induce or we very tense from work and also long time using the computer.
I'm also thinking of not using epidural again, but hb say no point going thru the pain again. At first, he was worried that epi could cause backache, but since antenatal say it won't so he see no point of me going thru the pain again. But I'm still thinking if I can I'll still endure cos I want to feel bb being born. It's a nice feeling to feel bb pushing against the birth canal, it was a wonderful feeling and I hope to feel it again. I heard epi makes us feel slightly numb so I don want to miss out that feeling... Maybe last night your brain too active liao, working till so late, so Caleb also become more hyper.
Jasmine, sayang sayang, don't let client affect your mood.
Jenny, tempt us some more, and tonite we'll go rob swiss roll at Wellington. ;P

think i shared b4. so far, all my nurses friends advised against using it. though they themselves tell patient no major side effects but they dun use it themselves cos they say it will somehow cause side effects like back pain in future. also, if the epidural not administered properly, can cause patient to go paralysed as well. for me i rather endure with the pain for that moment and like what you said, try to enjoy the process then suffer later on long term.
coral, jenny,
ha ha ha!!! it will b a great scene to see preggie women charging to steal the swiss. think lock might not help. a bonucer mayb....

Wei Kuan, your hb can't got to work full day on Sat? If only half day I think it's fine for him to join in the talk later. Cos a part is on vaccine and later there's some talk on fatherhood. If not wrong, 2nd class gotta do some exercise, so better wear pants.
Hi bliss,
Never get up from bed using sit up method even if you are not pregnant. It will hurt the back as it's a sudden movement, the back may not adjust to it in time. My yoga master always stress this point to us. The correct method in getting out of bed, is as what crystalised and selina said, lay on your side, use your hands to push yourself up.
Hmm, I cant sleep on my left side for long. My bb will kick me, seems like she dun like me in the left position, I shift to the right, she will stop kicking.
