cheesy,
i got mine from bishan library. linda told me about it. not too sure if all branches have them. I suppose they have?

linda,
that guy gave me a look like he doesn't think that I am expecting.

maybe nowadays too many people collecting so they come up with the form to make sure that u must be pregnant in order to collect. not sure about it.
anyway, on the form, u must either be pregnant(need to fill in EDD) or have a child or collecting on the behalf of your spouse.
btw, how you get to know about this free baby journal?

i heard about it from my colleague. she collected hers from amk.
 
Kea,
Not to scare u, but I had the acute cramp last weekend. Called up my gynae & meet him up the next day. He did a ultrasound scan & detected it was contraction. I was immediately given hormone pills & bed rest for 2 days.
U try to monitor whether is the persistent cramp comes on & off for the whole day 1st. And try to rest & relax as much as u can. If it doesn't gets better, call your gynae in the evening.
 
abc,

I saw tat one is smt like a tank top. the strip can be removable like a nursing bra.

Liyun

It's ok to use medicated oil in ur hand. it won't affect ur baby. dun worry too much

Kea,

If ur pain is just temperory like less than half an hour i think is ok. if it's whole day then u might need to c ur gynea. i had tat also for four nites but it's temperory. what u need is to rest more.

Melody,
About your earlier question on whether all pregnant women should take the Oscar test, I feel it's actually up to the individual depending on how kiasu you are, and also how old you are (and thus whether you are high risk or low risk for Down's Syndrome).

At my visit to the gynae on my 12th week, my gynae gave me two options of testing for abnormalities - the Oscar test (to be done between 12-14 weeks) or Triple Test (I think this one done ard 16 weeks). However, the Oscar test is more expensive, about $300+ (done at TMC) compared to Triple Test, about $100+.

My hubby and I decided to go for Oscar because we felt that it would be a more detailed test (since they would also scan the thickness of the baby's neck, plus measure level of hormones in the blood to test for Down's Syndrome). One common thing about these tests is that they are never 100% right or wrong. The results from the Oscar test and Triple test will only tell you whether you have a high risk or low risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities. More info on these tests can be found here:

All those MTB who are swimming,
Can I check whether when you swim, can you feel the muscles in your abdomen stretching? (It's those muscles just below the breasts). Thks!
 
Melody

yup, me at level 2....keke...in e end i stick to Dr Chong lo..but me maybe giving birth at TMC...haven decide yet......if too much hassle to apply tis or tt, then i will deliver at Glene....

Actually you can swim anytime as long as you're healthy and you have no problems with your pregnancy.

I had spotting and was advised not to move around much for 1st tri but now that gynae said all ok. i'm back with a revenge with swimming, walking & yoga

.

Swimming is the best. Realy relaxing and works the entire body without the impact.
 
Kea,
Where is the position of the pain?

babypink,
Your gal is so cute!
happy.gif

Dun worry, contraction is rare at this time. Afterall this is your 2nd preg, so should agar agar remember how it feels like.
 
Kea: my tummy also look bigger than Linda and babypink. 16wks now... now tat the bloatedness gone, tummy smaller~

babypink: so cute ur little gal...
 
cat tail

I was at Bishan library. They have a section in the basement where they have books on pregnancy under the Family & Parenting section.

The basement is also btw the Children's section.

kais

wad type of swim wear u wear?? hee...actuali me is gg cruise then wan soak in water..hee....so preparing mine swim wear first..keke...
 
Kea,
Is it on top or around/side of the tummy? Could be gastric reflux or just tummy stretching.
I dun noe how to describe the contraction, but there is a pattern. There will sudden acute pain for a few secs & then diminish for a while & comes again.
 
wow..this thread go super fast, just finished reading all past archives.

Linda,
can anyone collect the BB Journal on our behalf?
 
Kea: when u going cruise? me tot of going bkk but now cant walk too much. leg sure ache like anything. haiz so sianz cant go overseas~

from aly's earlier post
maybe nowadays too many people collecting so they come up with the form to make sure that u must be pregnant in order to collect. not sure about it.
