I have not experience the heat until now. Even now I feel slightly cold due to the aircon in my office. Is it normal? When does one actually feel the heat? Im in my 18th week now. I still cover my whole body with duvet when sleeping (in aircon room).
I have another question, does anyone of the mummies out there experience breakouts? Before pregnant, I have smooth skin and nowI cant imagine this would happen to me. I have breakouts especially at my lower cheeks and chin. I thought at first it was due to the chicken essence I took cos I was very weak and I know chicken essence is heaty. But I have stopped taking since 3 weeks ago and the breakouts are still there but slightly better. Haiznever thought that I will become an ugly mummy2b

Hello everybody. I am new here. Going for my detail scan next Saturday. By then I will find out if the baby is a boy or girl.
Does anyone have any red dots on their tummy? Sometimes it will itch a little. It's just on the tummy area.
About the air-corn thingy. I think it is a good idea to add a fan in the room with the air-corn turned on. It's really cooling with the fan blowing + air-corn.
KaTie,
I read from books that to avoid back pain try sleeping on your left and not faced up to avoind applying pressures on the back bone.

Hi Welcome Saphira.
I do not have any red dots on my tummy. wow...with aircon and fan switch on atthe same time high electiricty consumption.... if u feel hot then sleep with lesser clothes or satin materials.
I'm a person who prefer to sleep on my right but after reading the book, it's better to sleep on the left hand side but when u r asleep u won't know whci h direction u r tossing bythen... thanks forthe the advice
hi CK,
it's normal that ur weight is slightly more as
the bb is growing. if ur weight is still the same then u might have eat too little.
Hi mummy2be
when i had my m/c in feb, my face break out too...very scary as the pimples are acnes and it looks horrible. i don't dare to go out or invite ppl to my house.
I went to see my skin doctor at toa payoh (after a mth of D&C, he gave me an injection on every pimple plus i used his products so my face has recovered. (i used to go to him 2 yrs ago for my skin problem n he heals my look) I'm his regular client. very nice skin care doctor. I think the breakout might be due to hormones changes and the breakout is to cleanse out body. I used to have stubborn blackheads but my beautician said my face has improved a lot. (i agreed too as i have lesser black head now still going for facial) i used to have facial tht lasts 4 abt 4 hrs...squeezing the blackheads now is abt 2 hr plus mask.
Did ur gynae say anything abt ur face? I think he/she does has some skin product to recommend for preggy mummies.
If u want his contact i don't mind giving it to u. if u going in the evening, it took abt 2 hr to see him. very long queue...

I did not bring up the subject to my gynae during my visits. I thought its pretty normal for preggie to experience this sort of problem and I do understand that its hormone related just that Im not used to see myself in the mirror. Well, hope it will be better.
Saphira Welcome! Me too have the same fear and doubt as you do. And Im still contemplating whether to opt for c-sec or natural.i have read sufficient info on the pros and cons and heard many (maybe too many) stories from friends/colleagues/relatives on these two options.If really follows my heart, Id like to opt for c-sec and even though my hubby did not raise his hand to show his support nor voice out his objections towards my choice, but I can feel that he wants me to go for natural..

mummy2b, i got very very very bad acne during my first pregnancy and this one is also the same thing... i'm seeing my dermatologist, likely to start smoothbeam laser treatments at the end of the month.. very sad 'cos a lot of ppl commented until can get depressed (for 1st pregnancy)
saphira, no need to be worried, if you cannot tahan, just take epidural and you won't feel a thing.. c-section recovery takes longer and it's more painful in the long run.

hi giggler
i've put on 5kg during pregnancy. Strangely, my face, limbs and body dun seem to put on flesh, guess all the weight must have gone to babies and the amniotic fluid.
So sian to have flu, feel so cold, been drinking water and sleeping, dunno when then can recover...

Charis, got to take more care of yourself. My mom got asthma so I know how bad it is to suffer from it.
mummy2b, I also got breakouts prob... feel so ugly now.
ck, I also put on wt compared to 2weeks ago.
cherryale, my gynae didnt give me any cream when I complained abt my zits too. In the end, I got pimple cream from GP.
Catz, can we go thru laser treatment now?
Chloe, ya... I so sick of sleeping cos of flu but got to sleep cos the medicine made me feel so drowsy. So sian to be sick hor?

Chloe, I guess you're expected to gain lots of weight for a triple pregnancy right? You're so lucky you don't look poofy and swollen! Just rest well lah..
Giggler, yah it's safer to do Smoothbeam than to use topical, esp if the topical is not working (in my case).. but laser for whole face is very expensive - about $900 per session and need about 6 sessions to clear the break out. Horrible..

Charis,
Yes, Thomas Teh. I don't think their stuff is on the website. I'll send you his contact maybe tomorrow, OK? Now just quickly catching up with postings before going to cook cook. Thomas Teh's son is the Taiwan correspondant on Channel 5 news. Ken Teh.
I also have asthma. But I control it with Beclomethansone inhaler. Asked my gynae about it. He says it's OK. Sometimes I use Ventolin too. Catz, Ventolin and Salbutamol are the same thing. In Inhaler form, they should be fine because there is minimal absorption in the bloodstream and the amt used is in micrograms. My gynae says that treating the asthma is more impt than worrying about the bb.
Charis,
I also had pubic pain during my first pregnancy. Lasted through most of the pregnancy. Sometimes quite debilitating. Hope it doesn't happen again this time.

g'morning.. yah I've heard TMC is one of the best..
Aiyah, you all know I very pro-TMC..keke..
PVL, dunno why my GP said cannot use the Ventolin evohaler but must use the other one.. hmm.. or maybe I'm just confused. Heee
It's such a pain to wheeze and wheeze..
katie, er.. it's sometimes quite hard to interpret ultrasounds 'cos it's actually 3-d images compressed onto 2-d (dunno how to explain) but yeah, don't worry lah, I'm sure your gynae will know how to see the sex, esp if it's a boy with his wee wee dangling out.

Saphira,
Where are you from?
Which antenatal programme are you eyeing? I don't think I'm signing up for any. Actually, I was thinking of conducting my own antenatal programme cos the ones here are not very comprehensive and don't give you all the info! hehehehe. I have a file full of notes from my antenatal prog from the US, conducted by doulas. That was really good. And my friend who's just returned from the States did a doula course too. We were just toying with that idea. LOL.
I think there are some privately run antenatal programmes around, maybe one at Tanglin Mall. I haven't checked those out yet. But probably I'll just go through all my notes and review with my doula friend.
Catz, check with your gynae about Ventolin. Is the evohaler different from the inhaler? Is it the blue pump? I asked my gynae and he said that I have to treat my asthma first cos the bb also needs oxygen which I must provide mah.

bitbit,
Did you do the routine blood test? Last visit, Dr Han reviewed the results. He said everything looks good. That's the test for the Hb level, and other stuff for the health of the mother.
cherrybell,
Congrats on having a boy. Wah your bb is an acrobat!! Hahahaha. So funny seeing him curled up like that.

PVL, same here.. my antenatal was VERY comprehensive and the doula who ran it was my church friend. Here, they don't even teach perineal massage or the different stages of birth.. sigh.. so I'm not going to attend since I've got my comprehensive notes. Just need to attend the refresher training on bathing newborn the day after delivery..hee
OK, the inhaler I'm using is the normal blue one that's in an L shape.
cherrybell, so cute!
smurfy, things should become better lah in 2nd tri since no morning sickness so technically you should be getting more nourished. I've been religious taking multivits and I find that I'm a lot healthier now.

stella, wah your colleague very kiang. actually i tahan without epidural until the final 4 hours.. i was induced from zero dilation so the contractions were non-stop and the gas didn't help anymore. didn't want to take the pethidine jab as it makes bb drowsy so no choice, ask for epidural after i ripped out the gas mask from the wall and tried to whack my hubby..hehe.. drama hor? but hor, i will try without epidural again.. if my mudder can do it, so can i!
Privledged,
I am from Malaysia. Just started working last November. Found out pregnant in May. I was all alone here in Singapore until this week, my hubby started working here too. Glad I passed my 1st trimester safely.
Privledged and Catz,
It'll be great if you could share those notes to us. Feeling a bit lost being pregnant in Singapore.

I still wonder where is TMC and how to find out more info on about it.
By the way does everyone here always wake up to go to the bathroom at night? I'm lacking or sleep because of that. Normally I have to go to the bathroom at least 6 times. Sometimes it's like going every hour. Somthimes wonder where the water come from cause I nomally stop drinking after dinner.
