So when do the calculation, ok lah $50+ each can wear for a few months... My working separate pieces cost ard that too, so din care abt the pinch. I bought 2 pants and 1 jeans. they've offer on off seasons too, and tops are quite reasonable.
Now that I'm preg, so long the pieces are comfortable (don't add any more frustrations, cos enough) and prices are reasonable, I'll just buy. Anyhow, my husband pays some for me too. cos pregnancy doesn't come cheap

For the tops, buy from ur usual shops, but in bigger sizes... buy 1 piece dress, easier to manage (wash, hang dry and iron etc... cos husband does all the hsework now, must be thoughtful)
Talking about inner wears, where to buy maternity bras & panties?
Now into 2nd tri, tummy feel v bloated, gynae advised dun strain @ tummy area, so need to buy larger ones.
I came across http://www.mothercare.com.sg/index.cfm?GPID=58&GBID=3&GBSID=9 @ mothercare website... think their products quit ex... but good to gauge our spending guideline... I showed this to my husband, then said "wa, actually so expensive?!" so now when go shopping, i showed him those more reasonable ones, he paid for them... muahaha

did u drink enough water? maybe drinking lots of fluid helps for constipation? i am the opposite, i have been having diarrhea last week till yesterday....sat the worst diarrhea...my poo becomes "watery"...so i stopped taking apple...dunno what causes my diarrhea...
i still feel bloated and indigestion everytime after i take my meals even though i diarrhea....
this thur my gynae check, i will ask my gynae why i keep having stomachache....
i checked my weight, and i have not been gaining weight ever since i am pregnant
, dunno is it due to too much diarrhea...
can i ask when tummy becomes bigger, does that mean weight by right is also gained? normally for 1st trimester what's the avg weight gain?

gal,
me constipation not so bad. but stools come out like marbles. hard.
cheezel,
me only wk 10. but oredi wearing maternity. not very big, but obviously pregnant.
knottsy,
Our gynae Dr wong said, weight gain not expected for first tri. BB still very small, like 3-4cm. So, no need to panic.
at least for me, quite apparently, bust and butts are bigger. so my gain of 2.5kg, was prob more from physical change than bb.

knottsy,
to 'show', depends. For first time mommies, your stomach muscles are still strong enuff to withhold the change in size of the uterus.
For second time moms, who's expanded before, it gets a lot more elastic and thus will 'show' much sooner.
for my first one, i was wearing normal working clothes till 5 mths.
btw, hv u girls heard that physical changes, eg increase bust size, broad nose, is more apparent for those expecting girls?

knottsy,
me at northeast...no rain leh....somemore weather so hot now......bring some rain over!!
u have stomachache....could it be mild food poisoning?? sometime food poisoning effect will only take off immediately, few days or even after weeks depending on indiv. then the body will try to clear the system - vomitting or diarrhoea or even both. so better to check with gynae or doc. safer lah

Hi all,
Just found out i'm preg.
Haven't gone Gynae yet.
Was told by my GP to avoid caffein as it'll slow down the growth of baby.
Does it mean that i should also avoid coke?

lovedogs,
Have u tried prune juice? It works for me leh. I poo everyday but recently the stools are harder. So hoping the prune juice can help to soften...Lotsa water, fruits and bowel training...i mean try to poo ard the same time everyday. I use to have constipation even before pregnant. So the GP taught me to do bowel training and massage my tummy in clockwise circular motion everynight before sleep to help peristalsis. But now I dare not massage my tummy leh...scared disturb bb...heh heh..

I had been following this thread very closely as my due date is also May 2007. Just wanna know anyone out there feel breathless when you talk?
Though I am only in my 12 weeks, my tummy had grown to 35 inches. I was asked to do a presentation during my part-time course and i was panting so much that everyone thought i am very nervous. I am so embrassed as i knew this is due to my pregancy. For my past presentations, though i am nervous but people can't tell as they feel that my voice is steady and i am very calm. Now, my self-esteem affected and i feel very discouraged!

Thanks littledan and Sherl75 for the info.
This is so exciting..... =)

hi worry too much,
i'm only 11 wks, but do get occasional breathlessness too. considering that to climb up few flights of stairs was no issue before pregnancy, but just one flight now is enuff to leave me light headed and panting...
it's perfectly normal. bb's growing, and taking lots of nutrients, esp iron from us. to say, we're breathing for two, is not wrong. furthermore, with the tummy this expanded, it leaves little room for the diaphragm to expand as well.
importantly, must remember to take it easy and relax. sometimes, when i get flustered, the heart beats very fast and the breathlessness gets worse.
so, i learn to slow down and take deep breaths lorz.

Hi,cheezel.finally realised how to join in the discussion.thanks for replying me.hi gals,i am new to this.i am 9 weeks now..dun throw up but feeling constipated at times..and nauseaous too..does anyone know whether it is ok to continue to go for massages?have signed up package earlier and do not know if i should continue with it?pls advise..
Drink Yakult to help constipation.
If afraid of the sweetness can cause diabetes, take Yakult Light (a smaller version).
Yakult has Probiotics which is very good for clearing our digestive system. It's as good as "an apple a day".
I take it every 2 days, it helps me to clear my bowels. Good good.

hullo cartlon,
dun anyone wants to massage us MTBs, esp when before first trimester.
even my facial lady ceased doin shoulder massage. they're worried that certain acupuncture points on our back will affect the forming baby.
guess you'll need to check back with the centre, and see if they provide pre-natal massage. though, most don't, unless they're qualified.

actually, been gg to mphosis and some other normal fashion lines to get empire cuts. first, cheaper, second, can wear after birth.
i only went to the maternity stores to get basic bottoms. then again, gynae advised to wear more skirts, coz pants and cause itchiness due to infection...

Lizardess, yes hv to abstain from coffee and tea or anything with caffeine. But I read somewhere 1 cup a day is ok.
I'm guilty of my coke craving actually. cos it helps to burp. Then change cos very very guilty. I now take any gassy drink so long no caffeine or just cold drinks.
anybody heard before cannot take cold drinks, cos bb will develop asthma due to "coldness" or "liang" just like liang teh?
I wear my sports bra when sleep, cos my frens say otherwise breasts will get droopy. Better start earlier, before they grow any bigger...
