(2008/05) May 2008

gina, I also thinking like you...asking my baby to absorb as much from me...haha...but on the other hand worry if baby will be too big...but guess that one only worry later.Just make sure baby get enough from us first.

kelcqi, I just finish a bottle of pineapple tarts all by myself!! haha..cannot resist it...but always seems to get bloated when I eat too much. Anyone still having very bloated and stretched feeling like in 1st trimester?

choc, good that you are doing some exercise...I'm always telling myself to get up and walk more..but..sigh..end up like a couch potato. Sometimes..even when I start to walk I begin to feel like baby is being dragged down and feel more stretched...so have to walk slowly and rest like old lady
 


ylyn, i get bloated easily.. very xin ku.. ;(
den my whole stomach look soo big.. my boss say i cant b due in may cos my tummy so big.. but i always tel dem its fake one.. when i din eat my tummy will b alot smaller..
 
walk slowly lor. Dun care about other people. As long as nothing happens to you..that's more impt. =) **Pls hor, dun run after buses!

My tummy also big big liao. Now already 38 inches. Haha.

Later leaving office earlier after a meeting at 4pm (hope it ends at 4.30pm!!!). Then can go home, bath n change then go gynae. Girls, hope that my issue is not serious. I want to go thru natural birth. My heart is beating very fast...very worry. Today my day didn't start off very well..more like eventful (if u want some entertainment...let me know...i tell the story)
 
Gina, yeah yeah.. I just try to make it last Nov and improvise on ppl's recipe. Hope it will turn out alright. I also made Kueh Bangkit and it turned out pretty nice. Hehe.. Maybe will blog on them and post some pics when I have time. Hehe.. Giving angbao is alot of money for both my hubby and I cos our family is very big, parents got alot of siblings one. Didn't realise it until we see it on spreadsheet. Anyway, it's once a year. Hee..

Re: Swimming
I also think swimming is good. But still haven't start on it, maybe will do it every Sunday morning. Will attend aqua aerobics at KKH on the 16th Feb though.

Gina, you are also doing it at 1-1.45pm right?

icebaby, my tummy is 35.5 inches. Also quite big already.

Anyway, will the stretchmarks happen during pregnancy or after pregnancy? Just curious..
 
my tummy alrdy 37inches. Stretchmark appear during pregnancy. my fren claims that her appear overnight. =( duno how the rest of the mummies appear...
 
she describe the stretchmarks as dots... but i didnt c lor. but c from advertisement, tot the marks r lines?? so not sure either..
 
Hi,

Just got back from gynae.
Update: Gynae says that my that extra skin is just skin tag (thank god) and say should not be an issue for natural birth (I am grining all the way). But I do have a small wart near the arse hole (not to be rude) however, it's a recurring issue which is normal. =)
He gave me some cream. I also asked if he can cut away the skin tag when I am delivering (since already going to cut...might as well do both right?). He say yes. But I MUST remind him. LOL. So I am 100% sure this time around I am going to use the epidural cos I think the pain will be more since it's gonna tear more skin and also the cutting. =(

Week 28 (starting today)
Baby weight: 1.294kg
put on: 8.3kg (based on gynae's weighing machine and b4 dinner..which I think it's much lighter. I think I should had put on abt 9kg-10kg)
 
hello!

i dun stay in condo lar...for me i go to public swimming pool... actualli at first i feel very awkward leh... paiseh with a tummy! but subsequently, i overcome this mental barrier...

anyway.. i am pregnant... hehee...so i am quite happy to show off this big tummy of mine..

oh ya..another happy thing is when i get tan, look slimmer.. hahaa..."false" look
 
Pineapple tarts is my greatest weakness leh... i trying very hard not to eat so much.. hehee.. sometimes hard to resist.. =(

icebaby, so u give birth naturally before ah?
ytd i went to hospital tour... start to feel the stress liao... stress on the day of labour..will i be able to give birth naturally bo..or need c section..

scary ah!
 
choco,

I had 2 kids with natural birth. My advise is...nvr believe too much in people's birth stories..not because they are not true. But because each person have different pain threshold and each person's experience is different.

As for the day itself, if things goes well, u can go for natural birth. Dun worry too much. Let ur gynae worry okies?
 
hmmmm...true hor..diff pple got diff threshold for the pain endurance....i wonder wat is mine..

LOL...wait n c lar
 
POky, Piggymummy,

I dun dare to take any more measurements. Cos the results are too depressing. My colleague now 8 mths pregnant was shocked at my weight gain. She said she 8 mths so far now only gain 8 kg. Wah, envious leh...

ylyl, I also get bloated easily, not only that, sometimes I'll vomit and pass out alot of gas. So Paiseh, now pregnant like no more "Xing Xiang" le.

Last nite went to watch Sweeny Todd, had popcorn, and end of movie, I went to the toilet at Cine to puke out everything. Sigh...
 
moony,

he gave me some cream. I forgot what's his advise cos the small wart isn't much of an issue. I used to have 2 warts on my butt, one pretty big and another small. The big one suddenly grew very small and not very visible liao. The small wart disappeared! So I guess that wart might disappear. But I did see my doc last time, she said she can surgically remove it. However, because of this experience, I read on the web, I realise that it can still come back. As long as it doesn't hinder much, I think I will just let it be as it isn't life threatening. =)

Kelcqi,

How come like that? I think maybe too much gastric juices running about.

Me last nite from 2.22am can't sleep until morning. Afternoon tried sleep...was asleep UNTIL husband came to bed and drop the remote control and made so much noise. Woke me up. Right after that my FIL and maid tripped the house electricity 3 times, end up I had to move 3 times to get the fan moving. Had disrupted sleep. The good thing is at least I still manage to eat my normal meals by eating slowly. Nothing came out. *heehee
 
doglover, congrats!!! I will update the chart soon.

I say I trying not to put on so much and already find myself rolly polly. But so far everyone been saying, will be easy for me to slim down. I say abit tough leh...cos this one is number 3 and cos I older now. So metabolism no more there.
*sigh.

I guess we all after giving birth, this thread will be encouraging each other on slimming down. heehee

Good morning ladies,

Mine i received a booking confirmation sms from mt a. Quite early and fast right? As my previous pregnancy, my gynae only book for me at 7 mois plus. Maybe this question will be a bit early--> have anyone of you choose/select a pediatrician for your baby? Or you will take who your gynae recommend?
