Thanks golden pig... thanks angelsky... I'm more at ease now knowing size doesn't matter.
angelsky... I'm with Dr Eunice Chua at TMC. What abt u?
Also re your constipation problem, I've been taking a "brown rice beverage" which will help improve bowel movement. So far my bowel has been ok, no constipation. My mum says this is gd. Gynae also say safe to take. You can chk out at some medical hall, its called "Nature's Own instant brown rice beverage". Packaging is blue in colour. I take it almost everyday for breakfast. I also take fruits during tea break. Should have more fibres in your diet. I'm sure will help reduce constipation. Hope this helps.

hey goldenpig & Qing Qing,
i brought the prune juice yesterday (Del Monte brand) 475ml at $2.80 from Market place. They oso come in bigger bottle but i took the smaller one to try first. I like the taste, not too sweet & not too sour. So far not sure whether it works to soften poo poo/ease constipation but dun think it will take effect so soon.

Hi Lynn, do you have the same doc as me? My doc also advised me not to take dairy products. He says baby does not need all these now. We will just add on weight if we drink milk etc. Since I'm afraid of gaining too much weight, (my appetite soooooo good) I avoid milk which I like so much! Hehe.
hammies, i m looking at tmc price plan on the web(http://www.thomsonmedical.com/maternity_pkg.htm) actually both are quite close to abt same price leh - lets say we take Normal Delivery - 2 days @ double room TMC($1,328) & MTA($1236.90).
i been to TMC many times to visit new born bb but i havent been to MT A actually... but hb prefer Mt A loh... anyway we got Safra member card so if they can extend the promotion 4ever, then my 1st child get 5% discount & 2nd child 10% leh... ha!

Lynn,
u mean your gynae ask u to stop taking milk powder? I have not buy any yet cos some of my friends say the vitamins, iron & calcium pills that gynae gave us already have the essential nutrients we require thru our 2nd & 3rd tri. So some MTBs can choose not to take milk powder. Anyway, after taking milk powder during 1st & 2nd tri, my sister put on extra few kilos too!

Hey ladies, I'm also drinking the milk powder leh...but I didn't know can cause indigestion..maybe coz I never highlighted the milk thing to my gynae, and I only recall him saying can don't take now if I don't want to. But coz I happened to buy liao, so just started drinking lor. Maybe on me not that much effect. Haha..don't seem to put on much weight anyway..
Superbee, SAFRA also got discount?!Haha..my hubby also have, ok, maybe will find out more between the 2 hospitals. Actually initially I was more tempted to deliver at Mt. A, coz that's where I was born too! hahah...But I thought maybe TMC seems a bit more modern..i don't know. Maybe see liao then will know.

hi steph... u are so lucky to hv an understanding boss. My lady boss quite unhappy that I'm preggy. She don't even care whether I'm feeling ok or not. She'll pretend that I'm nt preggy & continue to load me with wk. I think she's hoping I'll screwed my wk so she'll hv the excuse to fire me. She even dare suggest I come back for wk after 6 weeks (instead of the std 8 weeks). *shake head* Sigh...
pigmit,
your lady boss married, got kids anot? some lady refuse to understand our situation, either they never been thru or they just take this opportunity to find fault with us. If your lady boss demand too much or went beyond standard work regulation, you can lodge complaints to MOM or your HR.

Lynn,
so all your colleagues knows abt your gd news? How abt family & friends? Although have not pass the 1st tri, most of my colleagues knows abt my preggie cos i have been taking MC last few weeks, normally i seldom sick. Some of my close friends oso kws liao. I am happy to share with them but still at this stage, baby is still not stable so i dun dare to think too much.

Hi Icy.. have sent a private message to ur email.. do reply me to my email too..thanks!
I j ust helped my sis dye her hair, but I had the fan blowing full blast away from me, so the smell will go the other direction
kekeke.
I going out with some friends this sat, and I have not told them about my pregnancy, so I worried if end up eating some stuff, sure go for coffee, the last time I fake sick, so coffee, tea, cold drinks I all did not take, but this time cannot. So wonder if can take
Funny thing, today I feel super tired and moody. Appetite also dont have, but super hungry.
Well hubby initially plan for us to go hongkong in october, but now no more since by then too difficult to travel, next year go australia, so now I guess also no more. it will be sometimes before we can get to travel since with baby on the way, going to be really busy. but well, on hindsight as long as baby is healthy anything is worth it.
So gals, jiayou and this week will pass by quickly and we will be one step closer to our EDDs

Hi, gals. It's been 2 days since I went back to work. First day was crazy, so sian and so sleepy but today's a bit better (maybe cos my boss was on leave). But office too open so cannot check the forum and post replies.
By the way, did anyone of you have problem with hospitalisation leave that gynae gave? I was initially given normal MC but after I found out only entitled to 14 days MC a year. I got my gynae to change it. But when I brought my MC to my boss, she said HR will question because I was not hospitalised, somemore the MC given by private gynae clinic, not convincing to give HL. In the end, I got my gynae to change back to MC. Sigh, cannot fall sick for the rest of the year liao.
i was thinking abt this last night..
if for the sake of your baby, u hold off the next cigarette, then yes, it's smthg that will benefit the baby.
if for the sake of your baby, u hold off the slice of watermelon... seems to me like a slice of watermelon doesn't contain anything harmful to the foetus? In fact it's packed with nutrients. (see http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=31)
so u're holding off the "forbidden foods" just to apease your beliefs in old wives tales that something untoward will happen to the baby if u eat this, if u do that.
heck, here are the health benefits of pineapple too. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=34#healthbenefits
take all foods in moderation.. enjoy your pregnancy. O'wise u may look back to detest the pregnancy period as a time where u can't eat the things u want, yucky morning sickness, yucky reflux & heartburn, tiredness, swelling etc.
