Kelcqi, maybe you call tmr first thing in the morning when the clinic open? just to make sure lor.

Cherimoya, how come ur visit become 6 weeks leh. i thot it's once a month.

now i still drink tea as in those Teh C. but i didn't touch coffee ever since become pregnant. i did check with gynae before. if you are those who must drink coffee/tea everyday, then it's ok lah. just dun drink too much. after all too much caffeine is not good for the baby. and i dun drink soft drink, occasionally i will order ice lemon tea / horlicks when eating outside. but most of the time, warm water!
 


Cherimoya, your next visit is in 6 weeks? During my last visit (20 weeks), my gynae mentioned he'll see me every 4 weeks for the next 3 months or something like tat.. Even 4 weeks is a long wait for me, can't wait to see my baby again in 2 weeks!

Hubby going for reservist soon, very sian, dunno can book out everyday or not. If not at night kena leg cramps who'll massage for me? I'll wake up screaming for my hubby usually.

Me still taking caffeine drinks, mostly teh-c, couldn't stomach coffee in first trimester and early second trimester, but now can already but not really keen on taking it most days. Still prefer teh-c, the opposite from pre-preggy days.. But anyhow still not healthy lah, cos got caffeine mah. My gf said below 2 cups a day is very safe, so not to worry so much..

stomach feel like bursting tonight! ate a very very full dinner and feel so uncomfortable

the numbness below my right rib cage is getting very regular, the kind of numbness you get when you hit a nerve, wonder if it's bad in any sense. But it is definitely super annoying!
 
muzicgal, is it tightness you're feeling?

i have feeling of tightness now and then, but i worried cos like really quite tight, but then it's not like menses cramp like tat so dr say it's ok and normal..

when will our babies start getting the hiccups? just now i felt very regular but light 'tappings' on my tummy, wonder if it could be it?
 
Winnedy,

I have been taking cold soft drinks thruout my 23wks of pregnancy.. hehee.... coz mostly crave for lime juice lar...something gassy... so bo bian... and also..singapore so hot..

drink warm stuff when i having lunch.. nono... i cant stand... heheee

i also feel my stomach getting tight at times... so i tried to put moisturiser...dunno issit the skin stretching or wat... anyway... just let it be lor...
 
good morning ladies! it's finally friday

must try to get some shopping/organising of baby's room done this weekend.. feeling the strain on my back already, i fear it'll get much worse in the 3rd trimester, then no energy to do anything..

jaspire, you wear the vascular support on both calves at night only? or in the day as well? i hope this will really solve my cramping problems at night!
 
Hi Yanling & Lynn, I also don't know why my gynae see me in 6 weeks after my 20th week. Meaning I will see him in my 26th week. He said everything is alright and good, maybe that's why no need to see him so soon. I also thgt it should be 4 weeks. Anyway, save money like that also. Haha..

My tummy is so big. Sometimes, it feels so tight. Trying to get used to it since it will become tighter and tighter as time goes. Scary..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't get leg cramps in the middle of the night. My cousin described to me and it sounds painful cos she said she teared..
 
Hi cherimoya,

John Tee is like that one, I see him every 6 weeks, now that i am 23 weeks, then he is going to see me every 5 weeks. Guess if everything is ok, he doesn't need to see us so often, but once you are in your 3rd tri, he will see you more often.

I know it sounds crazy, but i am sort of hoping to have a natural birth for my son (without epidural), I gave birth to my daughter without epidural, but the pain was crazy, but i thought since the first one i can, maybe second on should be ok. Anyone opting of natural birth without pain relief too?
 
Lynn, I oni wear at nite... then morning wake up hang to air... Hee...

Cheri, leg cramps is really painful loh... i oso teared.

smurferoos, not thinking of birthing pain relief yet, still very long to go heehee..

must get through the backache, leg cramps etc first. leg cramps are really very painful, i'll usually wake up screaming in pain. yesterday evening also had cramp in the sole/toes of my foot, it's so incredible where cramps can happen.
 
hello morning...

Gals, do u have any idea does MOunt E provide free daily lesson on baby bathing and breastfeeding after giving birth?

for me i wear thick socks when i sleep..and cover my legs with blanket...

so far (touch wood) no relapse...

till date i experience 3 bad leg cramp... the next day i walk like "bai ka"

hahaaa

hi winnedy,

i dun take any coffee or tea anymore...used to take alot but for the sake of the baby i stopped...usually i order hot milo or ask for hot/warm plain water (at least i know the water has been boiled b4 and not come straight from the tap =P.hehehe) BUT aft the 1st trimester, i started to drink soft drink but take a few sips nt finish 1 can by myself la...only i dun dare to drink coke coz its likes a washing detergent lo..and my hubby dun let me drink also. also started to eat abit of icecream.hehhee.mouth itchy la =P
 
hi cherimoya & jaspire,

i exp once - muscle cramp and i teared and shouted for my hubby and he woke up in shocks...its really painful but the more we get stressed up the more painful it gets. my hubby teaches me if it get cramped, relax and try to stretch it, it will go away after a while. but i hope the cramps dun come back again...especially when he will be away for the 1st 2mths of the 3rd trimester. =(
