Milderina,
Mine's also white, like egg white.
Mrs Wong,
Same here, my hubby also likes the boobs!
Btw, has any of you revealed your pregnancy yet? I've been very tight-lipped cos' tawt that pple say that after 1st trimester then say, so only parents know (besides DH). But becos' I've been on hospitalisation leave and staying at home for the past 1.5 weeks (gynae's orders), everyone in office is speculating and calling or emailing me to find out if I'm alright. Moreover, I hv already developed a bulge on my tummy and my walk has been quite slow (cramps and maybe conscious of bb). So, all these telltales signs how? Once I go back to office, w/o me telling, pple also know, right? Should I just deny, deny and deny? Some more, I've a couple of gatherings with my frens coming up, then if I act funny or can't eat, pple will also know. Should I not turn up?

alethea, just try not to announce to others if can but if unavoidable it is nothing wrong to tell la. Like if ppl asking u r u pregnant, then u cant say no ma... if we say no, then might get pantang too
Alethea, I told my mum and two close friends. Have not told anyone else including my MIL, coz she's very excitable, will sure run around announcing the news to everyone, even if we tell her not to. I will probably be more open about it once I see the gynae, now like everything still unconfirmed like that, so dun wanna say anything. Will still try to keep it quiet though and tell only impt pple, coz I dun wanna have to go around explaining if things dun turn out well...
Think important thing is to just act normal and not be self-conscious. Dun imagine that people will see or will know lor, and things should be fine...

Thanks Sherl, will try to walk normally. But becos' of cramps and this bulge on tummy (cos just eat and sleep, watch TV on the couch), I've been slouching quite a bit. But once the full MS comes, think I don't say, pple will also know, right?
Doggiebebe, oh dear, didn't know it's pantang to deny. A colleague emailed me recently to ask if I was preggy and I told her 'nonsense! stop speculating'. Siao liao lah, now.

Alethea, if people ask just say yes...for me I will say yes but ask them not to spread the news lor. So far I have told my boss cos I think he needs to know why I have been looking so tired and late for work etc.
Aquarius,
My co. is huge and word spreads like wildfire. So even if they guess correctly and I tell them don't say, sooner or later, 2 depts away will also know one. But I reckon, from all the feedback here, if pple ask, then I will just smile. Think that should be enuff then.

u gals r sitting most of the time in the office? i noticed that my butt pain when sit too much leh
Milderina, certified organic products are products that are grown naturally, with no added chemicals like pesticides, etc.
Chemicals added to plants during the growing process can be in the end product, which in turn will be absorbed by our bodies and transferred to baby. Such chemicals have unknown effects, so safer to use organic products for wotever that will come in contact with our skin. Especially stretch mark cream tt u r gonna apply directly on tummy!
I'm paranoid about this cos I have frens that din care, used any product they like, put tonnes of make up, dye their hair during pregnancy and end up their babies died of cancer when they were about to reach their 2nd birthday. My hubby also v paranoid about this cos we witness 3 lovely babies we helped looked after lose the battle to cancer. V sad, so as parents we wanna make sure we dun make the same mistake lor...
anyway the organic products my dad buy for me not v expensive...last time i got toothpaste, it was ard S$8 for 1 big tube...shampoo and face wash is around the same pricing as our mid range facial products lor...
but, i'm still abit reluctant to stop using my dermalogica products...cos...i just bought salon size!! but for baby's sake, i shall just sell away the remaining dermalogica products plus must buy new set of make up...
Alethea, my couz is a mechandiser, she walks around Orchard all day, everyday..all 3 kids she got easy time delivering hor...her first kid I still remember, water bag broke, she go home and bath then go TMC...then go eat delifrance b4 she 'check in'...after 2 hours my nephew out le...like so easy hor?

Milderina, I'm not too sure of the exact chemicals also. But my couz tell me to generally avoid all if possible lor, just to be on the safe side.
BTW, the jojoba oil i mentioned, buy from aus cheaper lei...but the earliest my frens are coming back to SG is end july...so if by then anyone still interested can ask them to buy a few more bottles

Hi all, 7 weeks pregnant now and the EDD is on 13 Jan 2007. Will deliver in East Shore (Dr. Loke).
1) i started to hv discharge. tink it's normal.
2)when some asked abt whether i'm pregnant, i wld say "i will tell u once i'm pregnant." there's no logic behind - only can tell after 3 mths. I tink it's passed down by ancient china. i told Mr Goh that it could be during those ancient days, that the concubines were trying to destroy each other.. so once they heard abt one of them getting pregnant (in their early stage), they would try to get maids or the imperial docs to give them herbal drinks so that they would have miscarriages. So from there, they curbed from telling until the foetus was stable. That would save their princes. Makes sense?
3) love sandals & slippers. best if we can wear casual clothes to work.
4) good fren told me use Lanolin Oil. She used that and has no stretch marks after giving birth.My lady boss recommended Clarins though.

Hello Mabel! Actually, the logic behind not telling anyone yet is cause there is a high risk of miscarriage during the first 3 months. If you happily go around telling everyone, then if *touch wood* something bad does happen, how are you going to explain to everyone when you yourself have to deal with the loss?
Everyone,
I just came back from a trip to the organic store. Meet a preggie there, she recommended organic extra virgin olive oil, she showed me her big tummy (she is 7mths le), totally smooth and no stretch mark!! So, my hubby bought 1 BIG bottle, which I doubt I will finish, so the shop repacked into smaller bottles for me. Anyone that is interested can buy from me. It only costs S$8 for 30ml (Comes in a glass bottle with dropper). Cheap and good.
Anyway, the preggie lady told me to apply on:
- thighs
- buttocks
- tummy
- breasts
- arms also if it runs in ur genes to have stretchmarks
The ingredients for Clarin Oil not stated clearly lei...just say essential oils, never lit properly lor...
Anyway, I did some simple reading online, and it says that rosehip oil is good for stretchmarks. Just add 5ml for every 10 ml of oil (any carrier oil). But it is expensive, S$70++ for 30ml! But I think 1 bottle can last for the whole pregnancy if diluted with carrier oil...hm...
