good morning!

jackie, happy birthday!!

so sian.. back to work after 2 days of MC last week + weekend.. wish that i can just quit my job n stay home.

i'm also itching.. nipples as well as tummy area.. tummy area got like millions of little bumps. think its the side effect of the ventolin that i m taking. so itchy till sleep scratching at nite..

over the weekend, got one time like got liquid coming up from my throat.. and its like bitter tasting. is it gastro reflux? or heartburn? dunno which is which.

my appetite oso became smaller, and this morning i feel like puking... haiz... havent really enjoyed 2nd tri, already the 3rd tri symptoms set in liao

sylk,
i'm oso thal minor, did your hubby go for the test as well? its impt for him to test to ensure that he's not carrier.
 
Calynn,
I more thick skin, i asked. =P Gynae said bb dunno she upside down or rightside up, so not uncomfortable at all. Says this is a normal position for most bbs.
happy.gif
In fact, he even said, bbs are very clever, knows that this is the direction to be born! haha!
happy.gif
 
doggiebb,
its in canned form ar? not those vaccum packet one ar? i saw in PRIME supermarket but i duno how to differentiate btwn shell & de-shelled one leh.
 
jackie,

can we start do brisk walk now? know it's good for easy labour....

vanessa any comment?

last antenatal class mrs wong showed us the different methods of births..really very touched upon seeing the mummies who gave birth leh....at one moment..my tears nearly drop...hubby was telling me he dun eat kway chap.char siew for the time being...saw some hubbies hid their face away from the screen dun dare watch!
happy.gif


mrs wong also brought us to the single bed n 2 beddded room.too bad VIP room was occupied last min so we cant' view again..we also saw the delivery suite observation room and delivery ward...heart pump very fast when saw it...aiyo....saw Dr lawrenece ang has got two patients in the wards at the same time! wow!
 
Vanessa,
Your BB's head is down already? Is baby's head supposed to be facing down already? I am in my 28th week..My gynae told me mine is not facing down yet...

Jen,
I cannot eat too much for a meal now leh..if eat too much will feel super bloated.. very uncomfortable.. so instead of eating alot for one meals..i take many small meals instead...
 
Jen,
I don't really have the recipe, but my mum told me just put everything in to boil, then put rock sugar and after sugar melt, pour in beaten eggs can liao.... bai guo think those that shelled ourselves one is better bah, I don't really like to eat those already processed by others, also feel something lacking.. anyway I don't eat the bai guo. dou kee is those for soup one, cos it's softer and smoother... there are 2 types, 1 will melt when cooking which my mum say is no good, cos dunno got what substance lah, then the other one is won't melt but is for soup one and there's 3rd one is those very rough one, mostly for yong tau foo kind....
 
jen

yeah! it comes in can form with some liquid inside. i just pour the liquid away and use the bao guo to cook Ching teng. Maybe i should do the bai guo yi mi next time, my mum will put either hardboiled quail eggs or normal eggs inside. quite nice also!
happy.gif
 
choo,
sorry, I got no comment on the brisk walking, cos I was doing that for my no.1 and it didn't help much, no.2 I was working, so walk even more, still not much of difference, so to me, not workable at all
happy.gif


dey,
ya lor down already, but not engage yet lah... still got time....
 
Jen,
tink it comes in both vacuum and can packing... but heard tat those you shelled yourself will be better... dunno y lah... maybe no preservatives...

Bobianah,
thanks!!... u really ask ah??.. ha ha... looks like i need to be more thick skin next time...
happy.gif
 
vanessa,

no problem!
happy.gif
act my own sis also leh..she did brisk walking every day for whole of 3rd tri bt her labour still abt 12hrs leh...
happy.gif
so really depend on individual leh...but i will try buck up do some light brisk walking soon...

choo,

ya... was on that topic of labour pain with my family last week... my mom was asking me to try n bear with the pain coz she doesn't want me to take the epidural if possible..

i told her tat if it's just a couple of hours, i might be able to bear... but if it last for more than half a day... scared i cannot take it leh...
 
Jen, Vanessa,
I love the 'fu zhi yi mi' very much too! My mum will cook sometimes but I paiseh to ask her cook often. Cos the ginko nuts need to shell & remove the bitter 'seed' inside...a lot of work. Haven't tried the canned ginko nuts yet.

Vanessa,
U hv maid, can ask her cook, hee hee...
 
Calynn,
ya lor. how to bear with the pain, my mom last time genration dun hv epi lar.. hahaha of cos i salute their edurance of pain level lar.

But if LUN for few hrs then want epi maybe too late liao. maybe dilate to the max cm liao. cant jab liao lagi worst ar.
 
qwer,
where to buy those ginko nuts with shells & seed one??? I dun like to eat one lar. but then add in some is no harm lar. maybe cook everytime i will oni add in abt 20s bah. ahaha so wont shelled until siao mah. cos my MIL say shelled until fingers can be painful one leh.
 
Jen,

ya lor... same headache as me... i also worry that if by the time i want, they tell me cannot liao!!
sad.gif
stress ah...

my mom said my sis so weak type also can take it... i should be able to bear with it... but my sis quite fast leh... tink about 4 hours done already!! my SIL took almost 24hrs leh..
 
Jen,
Oh I love to eat ginko nuts leh...put more better...hahaha! Can buy from those stalls selling dried red dates, dried longan meat, mushrooms, ikan bilis etc. I dunno if some medical hall eg. Fu Hua sells or not.
happy.gif
btw, not only gotta remove shells...gotta soak in warm water & then remove the skin intact with the ginko nuts. then hv to remove the bitter 'seed'.
 
calynn,

we will all try tahan the pain ok!! last time our mum's generation no epidural rite? so LPPL they have no choice but to endure the pain..so wei da leh...aiyo....

rain..rain..rain....kept rain....
 
choo, vanessa,
for my case, walking & stretching exercise really helps a lot leh... i remembered i purposely alight 1 bus stop earlier everytime & then walked back. my labour was abt 5 hrs for my 1st delivery.

my colleague whose a part-time yoga instructor, did yoga at home fr 1st-3rd tri. We all thot wah...sure very quick labour for her. but in the end, she ended more than 12 hrs!
 
starluster,
Thank you
happy.gif


Choo,
rain, rain go away......me going shopping ltr
happy.gif


qwer,
I am also doing alot of walking, hope it help to ease and fastner the delivery
happy.gif
. But hor, alot of ppl mention that 1st BB sure very long delivery one. So abit worry lor.

Ladies,
Think i must get 'fu zhi yi mi' from dessert store liao. Seem like got good review. Hope eat liao BB will be "Bai Bai"
happy.gif
 
Qwer,
huh she is yoga speclist liao still have to go thru 12hrs of pain ar. i think is based on individual & how cooperative our bb is. So now today onwards, we must talk to our bb dun let mommy suffer ok.. If no sufferings so much, we give them another brother/ sister to play with. hahahaa. Let me try this stragetgy can work anot. ahhaah
 
jackie,
ya ya must eat. My mom dunno how to cook this but she comment that i must eat more.. so i will go learn from MIL how to cook lor. hehee. not oni bb will be fair also will clear the heatiness in bb lor.
 
U ladies talking about Fu Zhu Yi Mi, make me got craving liao, later during lunch I must go buy and eat..but I dun ginko nuts..will usually scoop them out and throw away..

My MIL only cook birdnest for me..dun think she knows how to cook Fu Zhu Yi Mi..
 
actually, i have eaten a few version of this Fu Zhou Yi Mi leh..

Mom cook without the barley... just the dou kee and the bai guo...

the dessert shop at my house there sells with the barley and bai guo...

the other day went to another dessert shop, they sell with barley, bai guo, dou kee and quail egg...

I like the bai guo leh... can eat a lot!!!

are they all the same??
 
Calynn,
i think all same bah. just that matter of ingredients added in only. wow i never eat be4 fu zu yi mi with quail egg one leh. outside sell one bowl how much ar?
 
Vanessa, my next appointment same day as you. How heavy is your bb now? Hav you tried using the maternit belt before. I told Dr Sim recent weeks felt very heavy at the lower abdomen esp when walking she said 2nd pregnancy is like that bec muscles not as strong already so suggested may want to try the belt. Your daughter seeing which PD at TMC?
 
Jen,

just wondering which is the ingredient which is good for the bb?? is it the dou kee or the bai guo or the barley or the quail egg??? very confused!! ha ha...

i had it in a small dessert shop at marine parade... very cheap leh... only S$1.50. It's a small bowl lah.. about 2 quail egg and 3 ginko nuts only.... but quite good as it's not very sweet lor..
 
sigh..ate boring cai fun as raining..no one want to walk all the way out to market..too bad my workpace boring..not raffles place/tanjong pagar...

the fu zhi yu mei can buy at normal dessert shop? wat is it good for ah?
happy.gif
sorry forgot the reason.. i love ginko nuts but dun like if too bitter
 
Geri,
Thank u
happy.gif


Jen,
Guess i will buy from those dessert shop. Hopefully they sell it
happy.gif


Ladies,
Me going off liao for the day liao. Tata
happy.gif
 
choo,

ya.. tink most dessert shops sells... if i didn't remember wrongly... it's to let the bb "bai bai" and reduce the heatiness lor..
 
bye jackie,
enjoy yourself!

qwer,
when issit considered start of labor? 5 hours means from first contraction till bb birth? tats considered quick rite?
 
starluster,
i think there's no timing to judge when is start of labour. i count 5 hrs is when I reached hospital at 6am plus, then delivered at 11am plus. i still remembered that time when i reached hospital, still no much pain & midwife said already 5cm dilated. what a BIG relief when I heard that! still remembered that very day at 4am, woke up fr sleep having a 'suan suan' feeling on my lower back & tummy. then cos 1 timer, more kiasu & kiasi. We called gynae & I bathed & had breakfast & chicken essence at home. Reached GlenE 6am then everything start rolling.

choo,
ginko nuts will not taste bitter if u remove the 'seed' inside.
happy.gif


i feel so bloated today. dunno is it breakfast ate too much? I had 2 soon kueh & 2 chee cheong fun for breakfast. Then ate 1 sarawak pineapple & a little honeydew. until now so bloated! very uncomfy feeling. plus baby kicking & 'pushing' me inside. i feel some bb's body parts protruding on my belly! now lunch only buy 1 bowl of beancurd to eat. have some bread to standby later only. any1 like me? bloated?
 
calynn,
yes i took epi. some pple told me that since so fast dilated, i could hv go for natural. but i scared pain lah...also at that point, i didn't know how long I would take mah...so took epi. but i requested a low dosage. so i could still feel the pressure & slight pain down there. after gave birth when gynae was stitching the episiotomy, i could feel the stitching pain liao! think epi going to wear off already.
 
qwer,

oh ok..hope can find a nice dessert with fu zhou yu mi! yummy!!
happy.gif


think u have quite heavy bkfast liao..if can try to eat small meals...
happy.gif
i had indigestion n bloatedness before too...made me very uncomfortable n i had to find drinks tat made me burp so tat i can feel comfortable..terrible feeling...

qwer,

how would u describle your 1st birth delivery?...hmm...i have very low threshold of pain leh...think tis shd be my first n last delivery..opps...is it true on the delivery suite everyting is very messy..n we just follow wat the mid wife ask us to do?
 
qwer,
so far, i don't feel bloated, but feel my tummy super super stretch....and bb keep kicking too, sometimes kick quite painful.
