cherryale,
Do consider carefully the pros and cons. I'm in a same dilema. But mine's in Nov, in Shanghai for a week as well. U have mentioned all the factors that I am considering as well. Add in adapting to the food as well. My main issue is the extra long wrking hrs, flight journey and the extra workload that comes after it.
I did it once, in Japan during the 7 weeks before I knw I am pregnant. And when I came back, I was like totally burnt out, exhausted.
Think you better consider fast. U dun have much time left. As for me, I think I will reject my boss and tell him that I am not fit to go (with or without gynae's approval). If nothing goes wrong, it's okie. If something goes wrong, you will regret for life.. :/

Ah ger,
I'm the one going to BKK in mid Sept. Thanks for the detailed report
Aiya, cannot do reflexology ah? Sad sad... was really looking forward to that. In fact that's one of the main reasons why I'm going. Basically, my itinery will be to eat, be massaged and shop a little. Hmm... Actually read somewhere that reflexology is good for preggies leh. Nowadays I use the osim foot massager at home quite often too. Very shiok afterwards leh. Can sleep better at night. I definitely won't risk injuring the baby by doing thai massage but I think I will still go for the reflexology lor... very naughty mummy hor? Oh yah, did you buy any birds' nest there har? I bought some at Hock Hua yesterday and noted the prices. When I go BKK, I'll compare the prices and buy some if they are cheaper.
Stella,
I've put on 4kg too
hahaha, no worries, we can be fat mummies together. Aiya, when it comes to weight I think I win hands down here man! I'm 165cm and as of Sat, doc says my weight is 60kg!!! Cham ah.
Doggy,
I've been eating a lot of otahs too. Didn't use to like otahs but recently I really love it leh. Cause nowadays I enjoy the teochew fish porridge a lot (you know which one I'm referring to?) and they sell otahs as a side dish. So whenever I order the porridge I'll order the otah too lor.
Borrowed this book called "Blossoming Beauty" the other day. Returned it after reading a few pages. Cause the book claims preggies will naturally crave for healthy food that is good for the baby and usually the food we crave will contain stuff that our bodies are in deficit of. Told my hubby it's bull****
so didn't want to read anymore. Very bad hor?

Winnie - yeah u take note of those places I went to lor.
The lady actually say - nt advisable. Then she asked if I wanna wait for their in-hse doc to cme in then chk & do for me, bt by then my gfs already done 1/2 way liao, so I rather dun do it lor. Just do my own feet stretching when I can lor.
Yes, my gf also said foot massage is gd for reducing water retention. Bt hor, when I saw my gfs they all doing their Thai massage - the way they do the feet - is cannot one lor cos they will do like accupunture kind. I dun wanna take the risk lah. We went to Healthland Spa - very nice & cosy plc.
I din buy anything cos 1) dunno hw real r they & I dunno their pricing.
Winnie - try to cut dwn on otahs if u can cos they r usually mackerels.

Sunsweet,
I use to use our slowcooker quite often (make stews, boil soups etc). Found it very convenient cause I just throw all the ingredients in before I go to work and leave it on "auto". When I come back in the evenings, food's ready. But my mum says slow cookers are VERY energy consuming. Cause something that will take the stove 20 mins to cook takes hours on the slow cooker and so is very costly. Think she was right. Since I stopped using it so frequently, our electricity bill has gone down.
ck,
laksa ok for you ah? The coconut milk not a problem? I guess you no longer suffer from MS is it?

Sunsweet - I think if u start cooking them over the slowcooker, by morning it is done, it shld b ok bah cos it was still in the cooking process while u are sleeping. bt if u say u cook then u leave it overnight then nx day then it's nt advisable. bt perhaps u can ask ur gynae, we r nt prof enuff to tell u tat.
Wah CK - Laksa YTF............. I haben had YTF for a long time. The one I took las wk while I was on leave, was nt satisfying enuff.
Winnie - Laksa all these can take lah, dun take 2 much or finish the soup lor. When I was in my 1st tri, I also take until like nobody's biz. Ha ha ha........

Winnie - CK already said ever since she met Dr Tham, her appetite turned for the better? Ha ha ha, Dr Tham has those "increased appetite" look.
Ah ger,
My gf recommended healthland spa too. Which outlet did you go to? She says they are very professional there one. In fact, they offer prenatal massages too. But you gotto call and book in advance lor. Maybe I'll try that
in the worst case, I'll do reflexology but tell them not to rub too hard or tekan the accupuncture points... just a feelgood footrub to release the tension in the ankles and calves I guess.
Catz,
are you here today? Wanted to ask you to try that too actually. Soak your feet in warm water before bedtime and use the feet massager for a while before you go to bed. Might help you to sleep better.

Sunsweet - I dun take bread & I dun like bread right frm the beginning. So my b/f is always heavy like bee hoon, porridge or chee cheong fun. bt b4 I leave my hse, I will take either soy bean milk or HL to prevent my stomach frm rumbling.
CK - gd that u can switch to diff types of food every day. Cos if u tend to stick w/ the same food, when u get sick of it & it's gng to b very hard for u to try to even eat that back. So far I've bn ok w/ eating mee sua so I dun mind eating that. Only prob is - got egg.
Winnie - after Wk 14, perhaps into Wk 15 - slowly u will feel better. Perhaps u change to taking soupy + more vege stuff? Try to minimise ur meat intake for the time being. Maybe ur stomach is still trying to adjust?
U need decrease appetite looking doc? Ha ha ha........ erm, go get a Bao Gong lor, then u wun even feel like seeing him. After seeing him, maybe u wun even feel like eating liao.

oh ya, just went for my checkup on Sat. Baby's 8.7cm... seems a bit small for 14w2d... but nevermind lah. As long as all is well i guess. Doc says cannot tell the sex. He didn't even bother to try cause he says it's too early so sure cannot see one leh
But being the KS mum that I am, I went to look through ultrasound pics of other people online hoping to get a clue. Just to share with the rest of the mummies who are intersted, take a look at this : http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-72032001000400008
The article is not even in english but basically, they show 2 pics of babies in their 11th-14th week. One is a boy and one is a girl. I compared my ultrasound pic to the 2 pics there and find that my pic look very similar to the one of the boy boy leh. The "birdie" they point to in the pic is very obvious in my pic too leh. Don't know if it's reliable a not. Those who already know the sex of their babies take a look and share hor.

Thanks for your comments. Don't worry, for fun only lah. Just enjoy guessing baby's sex. Don't really know how to make out the different parts from the ultrasound pic too.
The day before the doc's visit I told baby must co-operate. Let mummy see the sex. Then when I go BKK I can buy lots of nice things for him/her. But then hor, actually I also don't know what position is good for doc to check the sex. Hahaha
So cannot blame baby cause mummy never give clear instruction mah. Nevermind, I am going to the doc's office the day before my holiday again. So got 1 more chance.

Hi Charis,
So far i've also gained 1kg. I'm actually feeling good that im not gaining so much weight as my 1st pregnancy i think i gain weight too fast cos i really heed my gynae advice to eat whatever i want. So in the end, i almost gain 3kg every 3-4weeks. And in the end, ended up with GD. So sad
My gynae was in fact monitoring my weight quite closely. Initially when i gain .05kg in a week, he said im gaining too much weight and ask me to cut down sugar and all.
He said the guideline is i shd gain only about 0.5 kg every week and not more than that.
