Why depressed?
I have colleagues who always tot tat i am only 3 mths or 5mths preggy (always lesser), and commented i dun look like 6 mths and keep telling me to eat more.
So end up i eat more during last mth and bb overweight liao then gynae tell me to cut down liao.. so silly of me to listen to their comments i guess.

I hope my bb overweight is not bec' of my high blood sugar. Really hope so and i am cutting on eating sinful food now.
If not it probably bec my own metabolism rate is high then those bloated areas are water retention.
Then again gynae measure bb weight base on bb tummy size, she noticed my bb has a slightly big tummy size which explain the big weight factor.
My fren told me eating meat will make bb grow, maybe cos i eat a lot of meat (i usu prefer meat to veg) so bb become fat lor.

Yup those low cut panties can wear when not preggy lah but with increased buttock size, it can be really dropping lor.
The bra from perfect mum is comfortable. But bec my length increase liao, 38 normally fit me and i have to use 2 extendable. now the wires are hitting on my side of breasts, thus causing the red marks.

6kgs is ok, i think. Actually i was quite afraid i'll ended up like my #1 pregnancy which i gain 22kgs in total. Luckily so far i only gain 2kgs from pre-pregnancy weight but i think i'm goin to gaining more as my appetite this 2 weeks start to increase. I keep on snacking.
During #1, i oso keep changing bra, but this round only feel tightness, so just use one extendable bra only.

Ya 99 years is considered good enuff, dun need freehold. Those near amentities and MRT can still maintain good value if u maintain them well, the tenure dun have that big effect nowadays.
For me, i am ored a mother at age 30 haa.. so it doesn't matter, for me i dun want to hit 35 lor. I tink after 30 years old is still ok but best not to hit 35. I have frens who married beyond 30 (but before 35) and all aiming for before 35 to have 2 kids.
Anyway it be tough if u buy a property when yr 1st one haven't hit 6mths yet, cos first 6 mths is teething period. And buying a property need consideration, time, renovation etc.

I know is wasteful but ur health is more important loh. Not try to scare you but i read up that wired bra might be the culprit of breast lump/cancer if wore wrongly.

Perfect mum bras got bigger size one i know. The ones i bot are not the biggest size, mine is 38 length one. Actually i wanted to buy bigger tat time cos i know may increase later, but the sales gal keep telling me no need to buy bigger size etc etc, are u sure u need so big size etc etc. So end up i bot just nice (a few mths ago).
Spring one i bot the largest size is ored 38 liao.
Its the length tat i am pei chey, not the breast size. Breast size if increase to D i can still upgrade ba. non-wired bras are easy bec' if length not enuff can wear extendable and dun feel wires hitting on breasts.

Thks, guess i better stock up from Spring then, hopefully they still have sales. I previously bot 2pieces 38C from AMK Spring, non-wired ones and they are good.
Now i measure my weight daily using my newly bot weighing machine, scare overshot my weight too much. My aim is to not to exceed 10-12KG utimately.
Yest my MIL know frm us that our bb is overweight, she is so happy! Pengz. She tink tat big size bb is good lor. Then i realise my hb is overweight too when he is born!
Me also a big size bb when born, i am 3KG.

I also dun want to be bogged down by age 50+ but late married also bo piang lor.. same as u ba.

I used to had a weighing scale oso but just about 1 weeks ago, spoilted by my girl. So now i had no guide on my weight daily. Plan to buy one last weekend, but not too well (fainting spell) so din go to buy. Must really buy one else wil overshoot.
Btw, if bb too big size, ur gynae might suggest c-sec oso leh.

For me i shoot up 3KG in 4 months. Then in 5th month i shoot up 3KG in 1 month. Tats why gynae also worried.
Oh if u are overweight har, yr benchmark is different. I know for normal weight MTB, healthy weight is 10-12 KG and not beyond 18KG. So from there u have to discount for yours.

I extract from babycenter website below:-
If pre-pregnancy weight was in the healthy range for your height according to your healthcare provider (a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9), you should gain between 25 and 35 pounds, gaining 2 to 5 pounds in the first trimester and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby.
If you were underweight for your height at conception (a BMI below 18.5), you should gain 28 to 40 pounds. If you were overweight for your height (a BMI of 25 to 29.9), you should gain 15 to 25 pounds. If you were obese (a BMI of 30 or higher), you should gain no more than 15 pounds.

I also dunno wor. Maybe my gynea seen too many ppl gain weight too fast or that time he knew I was vomiting profusely. So he rather I eat now to put back or wat. He told me sometimes 3rd trimester will have MS again so now can eat, just eat.
He belongs to those Ang Moh Pai one. Never control me on food or anything. I am the one asking him can eat these or that, and he always happily tell me eat loh.
Ellysia, me so stress. My MIL always highlighting to me how big other babies was. And how heavy my hubby was last time. One day I cannot stand her stressing me, I told her my colleague had a 3.99kg baby and almost had to C-sec and spend extra. She heard of the extra money my hubby had to spend, she diam diam. Then few days later, stress me over baby birth weight AGAIN...

Dont be stress over ur MIL's comment. BB weight is not someting we can ctrl. Moreover, why must had a heavy baby? Most importantly bb is healthy.
Just nodding ur head when she bring up again and move away.

Eh i dun tink ang moh pai means can eat lor, My gynae also ang moh pai but she will control me eat when i gain a lot last mth.
Actually is those old gynae more traditional tinking will say no need to control weight, i tink.
Actually if bb is too big, may end up obese and will have a lot of health probs when grow up.
My MIL also prefer big bb but i just diam diam (have my own tinking lor). Just diam diam and ignore her lah. Or u can tell her tat gynae said yr bb is ored v big and heavy weight liao though yr tummy dun look as big or watever.

Honestly, I hope my baby will not hit 3kg at birth. Easier to give birth also. But I only worried getting blamed later only. Haiz... Nod head no use for me one... I hear the same thing dunno how many times since I got pregnant.
Anyway, I saw one pretty comprehansive checklist. http://www.mumcentre.com/essentials/baby_checklist.htm
Hope it helps with our shopping for the little one...

Kelcqi,
You were still awake past midnight? I was way lost in dreamland liao. I think 3kg is not considered as big wor, even for bb gers. I heard so many whose bb are > 3kgs. Those < 3kgs turned out looking much smaller. Maybe it is the type of food that we eat now.
Re: weight gain
I gained 9 kg at 24 weeks wor. I have a friend who gain 9kg for her entire pregency. -.o" I feel so sad when I take my weight every morning. I had been trying to take healthy snacks leh, trying to control my weight, but we cannot strave ourselves mah. I think I get dizzy too if I get hungry for too long. Any suggestions?
