thanks very much! i'll probably rest for the next 2 days n see my gynae if it doesn't subside.
hi fen
yep, i'm going to start wearing maternity clothes soon or rather i'm going to get a few XL size working skirts so that they act as hipsters, lying below my tummy. hope i can wear them for a long time. all my skirts are too tight for me now, worse when my tummy is full. very uncomfortable.

So far, my weight gain is about 2 kg but my tummy looks quite big

Hi Blueroti,
Maybe i suggest that you don;t wait and ring ur gynae cos they know your situation best. For my case, i rang my gynae and she asked me to come into the clinic immediately.
Apparently, there was some slight bleeding because the sac was slightly disengaged. I am still taking duphaston to stablise it but been ok once i stop doing exercise as well too.
Going to see the Gynae also give you piece of mind else u will always want to go toilet and check, all these are unnecessary stress that you should avoid anyway.
wow, u ladies are getting a lot of multivits and stuff from your doc. I was taking prenatal multivit on my own while trying to conceive and during my first visit to the doc she actually told me only need folic acid for now. I think will have to check if i need to have the multivits again.
Stileto, i am 12 weeks and also put on around 2kg only. Are we putting on too little? slightly concern cos i dun think i am eating much, just get so bloated after eating a little bit. Have anyones appetite increase after 1st Tri?
hmm, i also need to ask my gynae about baby size, i think mine only 50mmplus on week12, both me and my hubby are quite big size, cannot understand

Hi hopper,

hi christine
u're right - everytime i go to the toilet, i'll kinda hold my breath and hope i don't see what i don't want to see. guess i'll give my gynae a call tomorrow to see what he says. thanks much!
Hi fen
was thinking that the XL skirts will come in handy after birth too! when i'm still fat. = OP

hi folks i think we shd not be duly stressed by the size of the baby --- it is still early.
my coll only gained a total of 4kg throughout her 9 mths. coz she lost quite a fair bit thru MS .
but her tummy still looks big , as long as the little one is healthy ... i think there is no cause for panic .

christine, according to my OB, 2kg is too much! i put on around the same amt. 1st trimester shdn't be putting on weight actually.
luckily i used to always buy baggy clothes... that's why still can fit into most of my clothes. as for jeans, why not consider those hipster lor... so at least dun need to keep changing because of tummy. my tummy is also showing but i wear hipster so its ok...

Carousel,
Welcome aboard ! Btw, do u feel pia-sieh when u noe that u r preggie with
bb no. 3 ? My colleagues hv 2 kids the max & they give u a funny look as
if to say :- Wow, u r really "productive" ya !
Wat's wrong with having more kids ? Hey, these r my retirement funds leh.
Yes, indeed my tummy is quite obvious. Those sundresses that I used to
wear during my 5th mth cannot even be worn now ! Sigh ..... No choice, I
switched to maternity skirts. As for tops, I'll choose those in L size to
match. In order not to be so maternity looking. Ppl tot I'm 5mths preggie
now leh. Sob sob .....
Talking abt wiggling feeling, tot I'm imagining things. So it's my bb moving.
Unbelievable ! At times, I do feel some pain at the abdominal. Guess, the
womb is expanding as well. Gosh, every part of our body are expanding.
We'll look like a michelin in no time !

Haha!! My sentiments exactly.
When i go shopping for maternity clothes, the salesgirls like to chat and they normally ask " how many kids already?" when i say 3, 99% will say wow, so many ah? I really don't know how to react to that, i always think, is it really so rare?
Actually i meant to stop at 2, i given gave away all my stuff, but as the kids grow (they are 6 & 4), i miss babies!! But sometimes when they are throwing tantrums and when i am tired, i ask myself " do you know what you are getting yourself into?" haha
Have you told your colleagues already? i have not, not sure when to tell.... maybe when i give up and start wearing maternity clothes.
the wiggling?? i keep telling myself " it can't be?" but maybe? i tell u, even the thrid thime round, we still can;t be sure of somethings

fen,
Don't tell urself that it's fine cos it's perfectly alright to have a haircut.
Relax, go ahead & pamper urself. Come on, haircut does not involve
any chemicals unlike rebonding o colouring. Ask urself if u 1 2 look
like an Ah-Soh ? Everyone of us 1 2 look swee swee rite
Ur colleagues r just concerned abt u since this is ur 1st bb. Learn to
differentiate from facts & myths (it takes time).

Wow, ur colleague preggie 6mths later is quite fast hor. Hmm, very productive indeed!
Carousel,
Luckily I borrowed my stuff to my sil. Heng-ah, can reuse again. Very worth it ya.
So this round, u hoping for a boy o gal ? I hv 2 gals (4 & 2). Frankly, I don't mind
having an/r gal so that they can share the dresses. On the o/r hand, my in-law
keep telling me that it would be gd to hv a boy. Halo, it's not within my control leh.
Blame it on the sperm "producer" la.
Yup, I dropped the bomb to my bosses right after I passed my 3mths (to be safe).
No worries, let ur tummy do the talking then.
I try not to wear maternity dresses now cos I'm neither here nor there. Will be swimming
in it now. I prefer skirts, more feminine I guess.
Yes, I can be quite blur even 3rd time too. Hv to read up to refresh my memory again.

i have a older gal and younger boy. I would prefer another girl, so much sweeter and my hubby a bit zong nu ching nan. funny hor. The princess want anything also can, the boy... always get into trouble cos very monkey. very cute too, not as reserve as girls.
I keep imagining when we do the scan and find out it is a boy, i think both my hubby and myself will burst out laughing, cos we know we will be adding another cheeky monkey to the family.
Ya, as i read the forum, i will be thinking to myself " did i do that in the past" can't remember leh. I want to cherish this last pregnancy,cos i think really want to close factory already. Not enough time to split among the kids
I tell something very funny, i am so tired, i can fall asleep on the sofa when my girl play piano and even when hubby is reading bed time stories with the kids.
I just can't keep my eyes open. zzzzzz

Yep theme maternity sells nice swimwear (2-pc which can cover tummy @ $109). I didnt buy mainly bcos I need a different size for the top and bottom which they do not allow. Sigh..
Mothercare @Suntec also sells swimwear. Saw their 2-pc wear @$59 but design not as nice lei... Will consider buying it if I still cant find any alternatives...

hi christine
thanks for your advice - i went to see my gynae today. did a scan n thankfully baby is ok, and found out it's some fungal infection. but gynae has given me 3 days' MC so that i can rest at home. at least now i've peace of mind.
so i guess if any mummy has stained discharge, pls go see your gynae.

Hi Blueroti, glad to know that u are alrite!
My gynae said that it's very common for pregnant women to have fungal infection (abt 50% will get it), mainly becos we are vulnerable at this stage & usually pple that are weaker will be more prone to it.
In fact, I din have any stained discharge but I got tummy pain, so my gynae said better to check & realised that I have infection too. Did ur gynae give u anti-biotics safe for pregnancy use? Dun worry, shld get better after more rest. Sign, my gynae never give me any mc lor, so sadzzz!!!!
Btw, are u ladies still experiencing bad MS. By rite, shld be going away soon but dun know y mine seems to get worst.

hi snowflakes!
thanks! yeah gynae said coz' we get more discharge now so more prone to infection. he didn't give me any medicine tho but 2 types of cream and 1 wash. i also had tummy ache occasionally - thot coz' i ate too much!
as for MS - mine is better now altho i still get tired easily n abit naseous occasionally. not as bad as the 1st 3 months. but still don't really like plain water wh still taste funny. but the good thing is i have started eating fish soup which i shun away from for the last 3 months!

Hi Blueroti, glad to know that everything is ok for you. You Doc is quite understanding, give u MC to rest, nice one.
Hi Michele, hur 2kg is too much, ops. Ok then i dun have to worry about baby growth. I was wondering how come the weight gain so little. hehehe, i better watch what i eat and not put on too much then
oh, so where have you ladies been shopping for your maternity wear? Any good recommendation, nice design and reasonable price?
oh, i read earlier about the birdnest, does anyone recommend any shop they are reliable and reasonable price as well?
For the swimwear, i think its more sexy to wear 2 piece, can show tummy
it also give u more option and after delivery can still wear them and not waste money.

hi christine
yeah i was surprised that he gave me 3 days of MC. i asked him if i could go back to work tomorrow coz' i do have stuff to clear. he said better not.
n coz' i'm on 3 days' MC, my colleagues were wondering what happened. so finally told them n 2 of them actually SMS me to say that they thot i was juz getting fatter but were too paiseh to tell me! i'm 54kg now - but i already put on some weight before that so duno how much i put on actually, mayb 2/3kg?! but so far, i've maintained at 54kg for the last 1.5 months.
as for maternity wear, i bot 1 pair of pants and capri from Bliss at delfi. not very cheap tho' - $60 plus for 1. i bot 2 tees n 1 maternity jeans from topshop. i took size 14 for 1 of the tees and size 10 for the other - different cut. they're not maternity wear but coz' 1 is pretty long n the other flares at the bottom so think they're ok. all my frens told me not to buy maternity wear coz' very auntie! = o P
for bird's nest, i bot 2 bottles from dragon brand (opposite OCBC centre) and my sister bot 2 fr nature's farm for me. so far, have only taken the dragon brand 1. both are without preservatives so must consume within 10 days n must put in fridge. for the dragon brand, i bot the concentrated kind. they've different kinds n diff. prices. can't really remember how much i paid tho - mayb $50 plus or $60 plus for 2 bottles. but have been told cannot eat too much - 1 month 1 bottle.
and yep also thinking of getting swim wear but have yet to find 1 reasonably priced 1.

fen,
maybe my bb is taller...ha..anyway, don't think your bb CRL deviated very much from standard.
christine,
As long as our bb size grow for each checkup I think our weight gain of 2kg (1st trimester) should not be a concern...my g/f put on about 8kg-10kg during her pregnancy and her bb still weighs a whopping 3.2kg! she is small frame like me 43kg before pregnancy...
ixora,
which floor is summit shoes?? thanks

Hi Ixora,
Im the member for Thyme Maternity & Cloud9 now. I really spent alot juz within 1 day..hahahah...No one pass down the Maternity clothing to me so i have no choice but to buy new one. My hubby bought some from Spring & I bought some from Thyme & Cloud9. Not able to join "Spring" membership cox we have spent too much on the other two so we doesnt want to spend so much juz to join their member. My advise is always to shop finish all the shops b4 u decide which shop to buy. Cox my 1st stop is at Thyme so I bought quite alot there & my last stop is Spring...hahahaha...
Yes agreed, Maternity clothing r not cheap. Is even more exp then our normal clothings. If u wanna buy jeans, I would recommend u to buy from Spring. Their cutting & design is much more nicer compare to the rest & also cheaper. I guess i shall stop buying for the time being. Spent too much liao..

hi mummies
btw, just to share with u - make sure the shoes u buy are not too slippery, esp. during rainy days. have to get shoes with fatter heels.
i m wearing a pair that has pretty low heels (the heels are pretty narrow) n my gynae's nurse told me not to wear it coz' it's slippery, esp. on wet surface. she said buy those with thicker heels, more support.
and my colleague also told me not to buy too many pairs of shoes now coz' our feet will expand with time.
