good morning!
Zuen,
yah, jiayou! hopefully the day will pass by quickly then we can go enjoy our weekend. it's great if ur co starts alt sat work. sigh, when will mine do that?

Tera,
dunno the gender yet. last scan baby's legs were closed so couldn't see anything :p
 


Good morning girls!! I no need to work, but "work" at home being with my girl. hahaha.... Maybe later bring my girl to farm. Weather looks good.

How's everyone? My little one is moving daily inside liaoand at quite predictable times too, always at night abt 9+ when I am home and resting or reading. Guess this little fellow enjoys life.
 
TF, yeah ... scared to put on extra kilos ... but cannot resist sometimes. About mutton, my mom also keep telling me not to have mutton but donno why. Lucky I not mutton lover.

ZuEn, Good Morning. As long as something satisfying and can fill our stomach, I consider good already, coz I really a junk food lover.
Have a nice day at work

Hi star,
I will personally take care of bb during the night.. too tiring for my mum liao... She already declared to all my siblings that she will only do morning shift, night shift we must take over
 
mogudog - me no knock off time...haha...i dun typically work on sats..but today had to come back to oversee some matters...si beh sian...think will only end at 1-ish or 2...
 
Zuen
aiyo I also same like u leh! I have got a very short temper and I am so scare that I will just lash out at my MIL. Then thats it.. Like u, I also have absolutely no topics to talk to my MIL. Most of the time we just sat there quietly. Cant connect and still must survive 1 whole mth of "all-smiles".

Mei
I 'm a heavy sleeper. That is why I am so worried I might neglect the baby and slept throughout the nite. Then u must have sufficient rest in the daytime lo. I think I will consider to adopt ur method. :)
 
juliet08
ya, my mum also said the same. next time, the baby will become the "middleman". hehe who will be helping with ur confinement?
 
Kylene,
I oso waited very long liao. Had been working for 5.5 day week for 3+ years liao. Got rumours niah. At the end of the day, duno will happen or not. ;p

Linda,
Seems like many parents bring their kids to farm on weekends. I always hear my bro bringing his kids to farm. Haha.

Star, juliet,
I am not worried about having no things to talk about. More so, there will definitely be different ideas on how to do certain things, then cannot openly defied mil. Yet follow oso heart not comfortable.

Star,
I oso heavy sleeper last time. I am that kind that can fall asleep within 5 mins. However, ever since I got pregnant, I woke up many times in a night, either to go toilet or to switch to a more comfortable position. As we move on to the 3rd trimester and when the bb is here, I dun think we will remain as deep sleeper. Haha.
 
hi all,

i'm oso gonna be a jun08 mummy... going for my detailed scanning this monday.. excited everytime i go for checkup cos i can see the bb growing from a little yolk into a bb...

have you started shopping for bb stuff yet? i've not :p

ask you, anyone planning or heard of reviews on Combi Coccoro car seat? good anot?
 
zuen - u r rite lor...more likely to hv conflicts than hv nothing to talk abt..keke...luckily my MIL cannot do confinement, else am v. sure i'll fight w/ her...haha...
 
Juliet,
I think I will be better iff on my own if my mum cant help. Heng she has agreed to help. But my SIL just gave birth to her 2nd daughter in Nov 07. I am rather worried that my mum will be overwhelmed. She wanted me to move home for confinement so that she can helped my SIL at the same time (she lives with my bro & SIL). I feel like I am imposing on them, but bo bian. I am taking one step at a time now. If really cannot, then see how.
 
zuen - i was hoping my mum will move over instead..but she complain my house everything also dun hv...haha...so i told my hb we'll move back at least for confinement...
 
star - ya, everytime i talk abt bb hor, my mum says last time where got so lucky one...then she'll start her story of how she has to handle her own confinement for all of her 3 pregnancies n still hv to work, do marketing, take care of bb...LOL...love my mum to bits!
 
hey, seemed like you gals are having lots of family help during confinement!

i hired a confinement lady as my mum is working and i decided not to trouble my mil on advises of all my friends who are mothers... hahahaha... even my husband agree that his mum is not ready to help as the expectation is very different.
 
Juliet,
My mum wun want to move over. Initially, I was hoping tat she would come over to help. But the travelling will really be too taxing for her (though we live a few bus stops away). Moreover, my SIL will oso need help. Cant be too selfish.
Now I am thinking about where I and my bb will sleep, where to put my clothes, bb stuff.. -.o"

Wendy,
My mum has retired. Luckily, my mil is working. In that way, I dun have to face the dilemma of choosing whose help for confinement. I bet I will hired a CL too if I am in your situation. Now, I am just worried that my mum is unable to handle. ;p
 
HI Zuen
Yeah, farm visits are educational and fun and better than watching telly.
happy.gif
The places we go to have changed widely ever since the arrival of kids. We visited the Hay Dairies Farm today.

Hi Mei, Star

Can do night feeds one. I am also a heavy sleeper, who sleeps at the drop of a hat. But once you have a baby, mother instinct wull wake you once the baby fuss (no need cry). Good thing for us heavy sleepers is that once we finish feeding the baby, we can go right back to sleep. I have frens who are those cannot fall asleep fast types, they get tired more easily cos by the time they can sleep, it's time for another feed.
happy.gif
Just make sure you sleep whenever the baby sleeps in the day to catch more rest to work in the night.
Think abt the only time you sleep the whole afternoon away without your MIL complaining I guess. kekekke
If you care for baby yourself at night and your mum only care for baby in the day, shouldnt be a prob on coping lah.
happy.gif
Generally babies are quite easy to care for, only milk and sleep and change diapers.

HI star
Yah, after I being mum then I realised how wei da my mother had been. And what she had gone thru when I was in my rebelious teens....the kind of worries she had and the fixtures of not knowing how to let me understand the dangers of the world...
happy.gif
Mothers are wei da!!!

I am back from my gynae trip. Ate menthol fruits to make bb active so can scan for gender but baby seems to be lazy or sleeping by the time I went in to see doc. Haha, you gals with mickeys you all see the 'bird' rite? Me and doc saw the two straight legs with 'balls' in the middle. Doc say best confirm the gender during my detail scan on 1st Feb, so still have to wait for more confirmed scan.

I also checked with him about sashimi, he said the talk about sashimi made him thinking of having it tonight. He said we are safe to eat moderately, but do stay away from smoked salmon instead. They just had a medical conference which mentioned smoked salmon is harmful for pregnant ladies and their babies.
 
Veniz,
Congrats on your mickey!
happy.gif

Cannot eat smoked salmon?? I tot smoked salmon are cooked. I always buy that to use for yu sheng wor. Think beta stay away from that this year.
 
Morning ladies...

ZuEn,
Wow, u are early wor =)..

Veniz,
Congrats!....so nice to see bb hor...Me waiting for my detailed scan tmr =)...

All,
Anyone start to expereince difficulties in sleeping? yest i had a hard time to sleep...slept on my side for awhile, then pelvic bone there abit uncomfy, turn to the other side, also samething...lie flat on my back also cannot..hiaz..
 
Feifei,
Try to sleep on your left side cos it's better for bb and yourself. I usu try to do that but will end up on my back after a while. Maybe you try hugging a pillow between your legs when you are on your side? It's supposed to be more comfortable. For me, it's more of when I wake up to use the toilet, after that will toss and turn for about an hr before I can get back to sleep.
sad.gif
Let's see if any other girls have any suggestions.
happy.gif


Veniz,
Congrats on mickey.
happy.gif
Gynae hasn't 100% confirmed mine's a mickey yet but during the last scan, we did see the "stick" from the side view and the "balls" from another angle. Noted about the smoked salmon, thanks.

Mog,
Thanks for the info. Am going to vivocity later to check out if I can get any maternity clothes, am running out of clothes to wear to work. :p
 
Teragram,
Tks ger...I always slept on my left side but duno y, yest nite, my bones felt abit uncomfy, as if like bb pressing on it...I scare I might be pressing on bb's legs lor..

DO u tink when we sleep, will we hurt our bb?
 
Halo all mummies,

is a Sunday but a tired one. Yesterday bring my girl to JB for some CNY shopping. It was so crowded but luckily there's no jam at custom when we bak.
And today morning i felt my leg bit cramp, maybe due to too much walking.

feifei,
BB will move away or even kick us if they feel uncomfortable. Dont worry. There's once i sleep on my side and i felt a sudden pain on my tummy, so i assume my bb kick me as i might had squeeze the bb.
 
Mog,
Am back from vivo.
happy.gif
Bought 2 tops and 1 bottom from Maternity House. Checked out this place called Egg and was very "impressed" with the price tags. Hehe. A simple top was like $109. Hmm.

Feifei,
Don't worry, I don't think bb will be hurt when we sleep. Cos like what Felicia said, if bb really uncomfortable, u will feel some discomfort.
 
ZuEn,
My mum will also be doing confinement for my sil who is due in april 08! This yr will be a busy year for her!

feifei,
i am still not used to sleeping on the left side.. prefer the right side and on the back. Will usually start off with the left side, and ended up something else!

Completed my detailed scan on Sat. Everything looks good except placenta a bit low. Confirm MINNIE. Can start buying pretty dresses liao!
 
Linda
Ya I agree with u. Somehow, i regret making my mum so worried bout me during my teens.

Just had an arguement with my hb, he insists on his mum doing my confinement and I insist on a CL. I told him even if I am not getting a CL, I will get my mum to help. How am I going to tell him that all these is becos I want to avoid a face-to-face arguement with my MIL (just in case). :-(

Tmr I will move back to my mum's place. Talking to him only makes me more upset.
 
Sleeping: this morning, whn i woke up, found myself on left. Then went toilet, can see a bump on the left pelvic, maybe baby slide towards the corner whn i sleep...keke

Star, ya, i was in dilemma like u too. Though i make up my mind that my mum will do confinement wif me, but whenever i visit my in-law side, my MIL will kp suggesting us to do it at their place. Sigh... more so on she feels uncomfortable tat my hubby will stay wif me at my niang jia (conservative). Anyway, i've stand by thousand n 1 reason why i wnt confinement at mum hse n my hubby supports. :p

Wow, can also see Mickey balls... huh, will try detect my Mickey's then
 
Today i went Beauty World Plaza (Bukit Timah) n came across a shop, Carrano Garment & Trading Co, tat sell Maternity wear. I bgt a top for $20 and bottom pants for $30. They have branches at Bencoolen, Bendemeer Mall, AMK and Toa Payoh. The Toa Payoh one is at blk 185, is that the same shop that most of u refer to for the TPY one?
 
Morning ladies,

My MS came bak this morning after 'missing' for about 2 weeks. It was so terrible that i vomitted out bubbles and 'greenish' liquid. Taste is terrible. Not sure why 'it' suddenly came bak. Sigh.....

Confinement dilemma. During my 1st kid, i firmly told my hubby that my confinement will be done by my mom as she know my taste well and most importantly she can handle my temper. hehe...
But then finally my confinement was done by MIL as my mom last minute need some operation. Though the confinement period went smooth but i feel there's still some unhappiness(myself). Coz no matter what we cant argue with our MIL but with own mom we reasoning with them. So, how unhappy i am, i had to keep it to myself. No matter how good is your MIL, i'm sure there's still conflict in certain matter as we are brought up under diff background.
 
Feifei,
I tried to sleep on my left or right, but I tend to lean towards my tummy, cos I used to sleep on tummy before preggy. I have very bad shui xiang. The momengt I fall asleep, I start "rolling" around, so I always wake up with a different pattern in the morning. I dun have trouble falling asleep, but occupied by weird dreams. Last night alone, I think I dreamt at least 4 different dreams. Make me so tired tis morning.
I dun think we will hurt our bb when we sleep. They are well protected by the fluid in our tummy, happily swimming around, hehe.

Mog,
Is it a good time to buy nursing bra now? I note that my breast are still "growing" wor.

Re: thalassemia blood test result
My hb's blood test result will be out today. Supposed to see doc in the evening for scan to make sure that bb is alright after the amnio test. Kan cheong. ;p
 
ZuEn, good morning. My bras are getting tight, that's why bought some, they are very comfy and can be worn be sleep. Don't worry about the thalassemia result, it will be good
