chin chin, that is what the husband is hoping for too .. that the doctor is wrong and maybe Peanut will turn out to be a boy after all. I already bought a few 'girlie' dresses and cardigans - couldn't resist already la - so I really hope that I'll be able to use them ..

Hi Chin Chin,
ermm... mm did heard those kind of stories before... Scan is girl and turn out to be boy. I did asked my gynae why such things happen and she explained to me that some fetals are slow in development. So perhaps, the indication of the gender will only show much later. Dun worry, the fetal assessment report should be accurate.

the gynae says better not eat too much coz baby will turn out to be very big size..difficult to give birth if too big. unless if baby is small size wan, then ok to eat..
so ah..i think i better not take durian for the time being..later my girl overweight..haha

Scribber..
Congrates on your new found job. At least you will not be bored at home. Hope your are feeling better these days. Take care.
Alamak.
Today vomit again out of no reason. Sian lah.
Went for my detail scan yesterday. BB was super active until the radiographer buay tahan and have to do two rounds of scanning which took up half a day. I have to turn left, turn right, lie flat, go out sit and come back in. Headache.
I think bb didn't like the pressure of the scanner on my tummy and kicked hard at me. Its a Weight of the BB is 304g. Rather small. My weight, i only gain 5kg. Gynea said weight maintained well.
May i asked what is the weight of your bb at 20 weeks?

Thanks Mei Lik for adding me in the list.
BS S,
l happened to read this message from DARE magazine about Folic acid..maybe that is why your gyane stop you from eating folic acid now:
People who take large doses of Folate or folic acid in supplement form may have a faster rate of mental decline when older, say researchers in the US. The findings are unexpected as folate , a B itamin , helps break down high levels of an amino acid that is linked to Alzheime's disease and increase the risk of stroke.
Eating fruits and greens, esp spinach or an algae known as spirulina and blue berries may considerably limit brain damage from strokes and other neurological disorders.

Hey all MTB, i saw a post at bulk purchase n spree on Frigde to go bag. Ive bought one and can say is a great item. Non cold can drink can acutally be cold after storing inside. The trick is to freeze your bag overnite in the freezer and then throw in non-cold drink and you can get cold drink later in the day (when u are outside). I bought it for storing my breastmilk next time, so is mre convenient for me while im outside.I guess you all can start another Bulk purchase post there.

Hi Mummies,
Meilik, gald that ur baby is super active and healthy.
Starmoon, how come ur gynae still telling u to take folic acid? Funny... tout folic acid cannot take for long term... I am taking Multi vits, calcium and DHA pills now... coming to 24 weeks already. Maybe u wanna check with ur gynae next round if she is giving u DHA pills... tout it is important.

Hi JoviaGer and BabyJo,
What is the glucose blood test like? Can I check with you if you have successfully passed the urine strip test for sugars, so far? Two to three months, my tests showed that I had high sugar content, but they did a quick test on my blood and passed me. My gynae told me to watch my diet, ie eat less carbo and sugared stuff and i have since pass the test.
Hi MTBs
For those who are taking calcium supplements, can I check how much mg of calcium are they? I am concerned about my potential deficiency in calcium. Don't want to end up like my mother who is having osteoporois in her old age. However, calcium supplements usually come with vit D. If I take two tablets of the calcium supplements per day, will I be overdosing on Vit D? Thanks.

I am supposed to take multi vits, Fish Oil pills and calcuim pills everyday, but i take alternate days. Because i find that if i take everyday, i kanna constipation.
Before you increase to two tables of the calcium pills better check with your OB/Gynea can or not. If i am not wrong should not be a problem unless u really lack of calcium (Not drinking milk, gums bleeding, etc).

Hi Mei Lik,
Thanks! hahaha... I am not drinking milk and I have got bleeding gums. So many problems! But I do drink high-calcium soya bean milk.
I do not have constipation. Maybe you can try taking more fruits....

Hi betterworld
I havent taken the glucose test yet, but I know usually we will take the oral glucose test (OGT), where they will give u a sample of glucose drink to drink, then take your blood sample 1 hr later to see how fast your body processes the sugar...
Read that it can be taken 24-28th week of pregnancy, so think some mummies here shld have taken them, that's why need their advice as I am only at 21st week this week =)

Hi Jovia Ger,
Thanks. Then, I have not taken that test before. So far, it has only been the quick blood test and the routine strip urine test. If we consistently pass the strip urine test, do we still have to take the glucose test?

Hi Jovia Ger,
I think it is routine in Singapore to do the urine strip test. I only did the quick blood test in my 3rd month, once, and only because I failed my urine strip test. However, I have since passed the urine strip test. Not sure how much the quick blood test cost, but I don't think it is much. Why don't you do the blood test first before going for the glucose test? Incidentally, where are you based now, by the way?

Betterworld, urine strip n blood test are different. Sometime urine strip can't detect that you have high blood glucose. The test is simple, u have to fast frm 12mn till the next morning and then they will give u a so called soft drink to consume within 15 min. Then u have to stay at the clinic for at least an hr, after which they will test ur blood. If your sugar content in your blood exceed the norm, then gynae will ask u to watch ur diet and at the same time rent the blood test strip machine. You have to test your blood before and after each meal. Is kind of torturing thou, but they are afraid your glucose level will make u have big bb. If you can't ctrl your diet and gluscose level keep gg up, then u have to take insulin. Diabetic during pregnancy is bad for bb, but smetime can't prevented if your family have it

i oso encounter cramps a few times liao. first time when i got it, i woke hubby up cos i was in so much pain and he helped to massage. later on, during the antenatal class, we learnt how to encounter it so since then, the cramps have kinda reduced.

Hi ladies. Haven't been here in a while since I was busy last week.. both my dad and the husband were admitted to hospital; my dad for bypass surgery and the husband for suspected typhoid. Been running around the weekend with my mother .. luckily they were both at the same hospital, only different blocks. I keep telling myself I can't afford to fall sick right now .. but my legs are really killing me. The soles hurt so bad when I try to walk and if I am lying on the bed and trying to stretch, the calves feel like having cramps. I think it's due to too much walking lor but keeping my feet up when I can really helps. Thankfully both of them are now safely back home and resting so I have a chance to slow down.
I went for my doctor's appointment this morning and he told me that Peanut is too small!! He checked her heartbeat and though it's strong, he said her size is really worrying cos it might be an indication of other things to come. Oh no! I'm 24 weeks now and gained 5kgs since my pre-pregnancy weight. He advised me to relax but how to? I work full-time, and even at home, I can't sit down cos the husband is still unwell and I have to look after him and the house. So tired!

Hi Mummies,
Starmoon, from what i understand from the news and some internet articles, execessive consumption of folic acid ( beyond 16 weeks ) can bring harm to the baby. My gynae asked me to stop folic completely when I am in wk 16 although I told her i have some balance left. She had prescribed DHA for me to take every morning and night because DHA helps the fetal in his brain and other developments. Maybe if you want, you can ask ur gynae for DHA pills next visit because it is an essential supplement. For multi vitamins supplement, i took one a day and the reason for taking multi vits is because, we may not get enough vits that our baby require daily from those normal food we eat.

Cuclainne,
The father and hubby situation as long as can be controlled and you must try to keep cool and dun let it disturb your mood. Recently my friend told me her bb is also too small and now she was in her 8month pregancy..she ask me to take durian start from 5th or 6th month..moderately.cos her doctor ask her to take durain also..
So now u can start taking durian and bb will grow very fast...Dun worry .....just keep contacting us if you need any help...OK

Hi Cuclainne,
Sorry to hear about your terrible week. Hope your father and your husband both continue to get better.
i don't really know what one should eat so baby can grow bigger but would just like to share advice from an experienced friend (& mummy of 2). She told me that it's important when you're pregnant to prioritise and be able to let go of some things. Even though i'm sure most of us take pride in how we juggle so many different things in life - sometimes (esp when during pregnancy), it's advisable to let certain things go and realise that we can't keep so many things on our plate. Then it'll give us more energy and time to focus on making sure we have a good pregnancy and baby is healthy and happy.
Just my two cents' worth. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for all your words of support.
I can't ask my mom for help cos she has her own things to take care of: nursing my dad back to health, looking after my two-year old nephew, etc. My mom has a lot on her plate at the moment so I can't possibly ask her to help me.
I try to relax at home but it's really quite hard because my nesting instinct has kicked in - I can't stand seeing the dirty dishes in the sink or empty mineral bottles in every room (courtesy of the husband) so no matter how tired I am, I also try to divide the tasks so at least something gets done.
And when both of them were in the hospital, I was nerve-wrecked with all the bad things that could possibly happen la .. like losing my dad, him not seeing his grandchild, etc. Now that they're both at home, I guess that I don't have to worry as much.

Hi starmoon, i dunno if u should stop. U better check with ur gynae, probably he has his reasons to ask u continue with ur folic.
Little cat, same like u... I am very clumsy now... walk like a penguin and when i try to do my own pedicure, it is relatively hard. I keep on bumping myself against the chairs in my bedroom.. Hubby threaten to bring all the chairs out of the room already if i dun be careful. sob... now i feel so useless leh... do everything sure got mistake one. best is to sleep... feel so targid
Hi Cuclainne, hope ur father and hubby get well soon. Dun get too stress, no good for baby and perhaps u can take some tonic or whatever....

Cuclamine, as I mention before i gave birth to a big bb 4 yrs ago. This is due to the durian i eat + gestational diabetic + tonic i took. You may approach any chinese medical hall and asked them how to make bb grow bigger. They will advise you wat to take and hw to take. And of cos take in moderation. Maybe, once per week or once per 2 weeks.
And is also a good time to take bird nest, which will give nourishment to the baby and mother. Add a little ginseng into the bird nest, and of cos pls check with the chinese medical hall before consuming anything. Bcos some people might not be suitable to take. You have to tell them what your gynae had told u and they will advise.
Resting is also very important. Inadequate sleep will lead to small baby too. Hope all these information helps

Chin Chin, shld be ok lah. But try not to eat too much, maybe once per mth.Bcos Durian contain very high sugar level. I remember i ate durian almost every week for the first 3 mth. Then got sick of it from 4 mth onwards. The craving start again when Im abt 7 to 8 mths pregnant. I ate not 1 to 5pcs. I ate 3 to 4 durians every 2 to 3 weeks...... Thou i know i had high glucose level but i still eat (not advisable) as I can't control the craving. B
