Hi Zu En,

U can get a nose unblocked liquid from doctor. I got 1 bottle from a doc which is safe for children use, it is v useful in unblocking nose blockage (4hours duration of unblocking).

Veniz,

My bb kick me at lower left end too, but cos my placenta is a bit low, maybe that is normal too.

But most of the time, i felt his movements more than kicks. He usu only kick if i sleep wrong side and squash him. Most of the time is "sqish sqish" or "bomb bomb" feeling of his movements.

Certain days can be frequent, certain days can be quiet.

Usually when i feel hungry he may move, then after food he also move. Before i sleep he may move too.
 


Felicia,

Yup. Yest i was at Suntec and a lot of people. See too many things and also have to avoid kids from knocking me. So its kindda straining in big crowds for me.

I didn't carry too many things as my mum and bro try to pile many things on themselves. I saw a preggy lady with her hb and 1 kid, the preggy lady has to carry many heavy stuff bec' her hb is carrying the kid. Then the taxi queue is so long but no cab. So i call cab, my bro say dun save money at this stage when we are all tired and i am preggy. So call cab 5 mins got cab liao.

The fainting spells happen when i was walking down steps and suddenly i see stars and things moving around. Then later at Carrefour, i also dizzy. So we quickly quit shopping and went for dinner then go home liao.
 
Veniz,
Well i think u had probia like me. As my 1st kid, kena c-sec due to low placenta, now i keep worry if this round will be low placenta again. As for u, worry the breech history repeat again. Anyhow, my gynae ask me no to worry so much now coz is still early to say anything. And i asked him about using epi if i opt for VBAC. He oso said not encourage using epi as afraid i wont know if the old wound was ok or not when i'm pushing.
 
Veniz,

OIC. Just wonder is their equipment cleaned after each customer cos its our private area. Just want to be safe.

I will always shave my armpit and it is true that when hair grows out, it is v itchy. Sometimes i apply cream to relieve the itchness.
 
Felica, mor and Ellysia, thanks for your assurance. I will check with the gynea doing the DS for me. Like Ellysia and I suppose most of you, bb kicks anywhere, left right centre but always at lower part area. And sometimes very frequent but sometimes queit.

It seems like past weekend lots of pple doing shopping and marketing. Was at market yesterday morning and so many pple. I was queuing up for roti-prata and this maid in front of me dabao $30.00 worth of roti-pratas. She must be working for a very big family, buy so much.
 
Ellysia, I suppose so for the equipment, for my beautician, she will use new one and throw away after used. Becoz they always use new needle to poke my blackheads and pimples out when I went for facial. It will be good to go to reputable salon to do the 'downunder'. One thing about waxing armpits is, it has whitening effect lor, which I like now that I tend to have black black armpit during pregnancy.
 
Now i feel bb moving that sometimes it become v natural to me ored..

Mine i also feel movements in week 19 onwards.

My hb haven't had the chance to feel it. In fact whenever i place my hand on my tummy, bb will stop the movements so i also cannot feel it on my tummy. I can only feel it internally.

My tummy really grow now. Looks much bigger.
 
Felicia/Fei fei,

Sorry i forget who is asking on disney clothing. I found some nice bb disney clothes at Carrefour Suntec yesterday. If u want can take a look. But boy ones are not many. Gal one a lot more.
 
Ellysia,

Is me whom is asking on the disney clothing. Hows the price? Shall ask my hubby if wanna go down to suntec this week. But i was bit hesitant to go down oso afraid too crowded. In fact i was checking on the Vpost thingy and realised actually i had an acc for Vpost USA, but nvr used before.
 
Felicia,

OIC. I bot a top around $10-20 i tink. Didn't check the exact cost. Your one is a princess right? If gal, got many cute disney dresses leh.

The bb section not many people though carrefour has the usual crowd. Maybe u go during weekday night.
 
Hello gals,
I have just called the clinic to change my DS from 4th feb to this coming wed. Cannot wait to see baby and confirm through the DS that everything is alrite with her. But I am quite surprise my DS is done by the gynae herself. Wonder if she will do a good job. haha. I am afraid she needs to see patients so just do a quick one for me. By the way, mine is a 3-D type. Anyone of you doing 3-D detail scan?
 
hey ladies...
my colleague just commented that i look damn pale..worse than pre-preggy days...
im like ..."huh" ...so discouraging
sad.gif


what should i eat to make my face more redish? im also beginning to feel restless easily..how?
 
shycloud,

dont worry so much about your collegue comment, just make sure u eat balanced diet and bb n u r healthy, then is good enuf.

ladies,
i'm goin to canteen to grab my lunch now. Wait later, the crowd was terrible. Chat later.
 
Veniz,
My bb oso kick everywhere. Hehe. I am feeling her movement very frequently.

Roxy,
Thanks for helping to ask. I am trying to stay off vicks. -.o" Trying hard to breathe properly.
Ya, my bb kicks are more like "thud, thud" feel too. Sometimes, it gets quite regular, so I was wondering if it is her hipcups. hehe.

shycloud,
I oso think that I looked better pre-preggy. With the extra weights, the pimples.. haiz.. I refused to take foto unless necessary now, haha.
 
Hi pkdust,

Are you also doing a 2-D scan? I saw a TMC brochure on antenatal scans. They advised that it's best to do a 2-D scan also if you are doing a 3-D scan. There's a note in that brochure on this.I think 2-D scans are better able to pick up abnormalities.

my SIL did both 2-D and 3-D scan. She said 3-D scan is more for enjoyment. She didn't regret doing it at all.

Some doctors are experienced in doing DSs. I think your doctor must be or she won't be doing it for you.

shycloud - I agree with Felicia. As long as no anemia can already. These days I also look pale cos don't wear make up anymore.. and don't do outdoor exercise anymore.

felicia...
aiya i know myself...i did indeed look pale...maybe not enuff blood. must take tonics.

any known tonics to take for replenish of blood?
 
pkdust,

Nope mine is not a 3D. Heard that 3D scan is clearer.

shycloud,

Take red dates to "bu xue"? I think it will help in complexion to be more rosy.

Also, sleep early.

For me, in 1st trim my complexion is v bad and always v pale. Then after i take red dates and bird nest, complexion improve and more rosy.

Felicia,

U can go take a look, i saw several minnie mouse t-shirts also.
 
For complexion, u all can consider taking royal jelly which has collagen if u dun want to take too much bird nest (in case of allegy).
 
Ellysia,
I was also at Suntec yesterday. Perhaps I have bumped into you : ) Actually I just go there to stock up on some more maternity wear and trying to find some nice clothes that can be worn during CNY. I got one pants and one dress from cloud9 again. Manage to become their VIP member after combining the receipt with previous purchase. Btw , they are having 15% storewide. Then I went to spring and couldn't manage to get anything from there. And my last stop is at perfert mum. I swear that I will never step in there anymore. Though they are having sales as well, but i really hate the salesgal over there. They are SO persistent and hard selling. I just want to try two tops and end up they pass so many clothes for me to try. And these clothes are not what I like. Then they even recommend me to try their bra . Any one of you got such experience? I wonder if their other branch are like that as well : (
 
just to add to Ellysia's post - royal jelly may cause allergic reactions. There is often a warning on the bottle - saying to use with caution for those with allergies and asthmatics.
 
shycloud - red dates helps to increase iron in our blood. you can buy red dates with honey - NTUC sells Ego brand red daates as a snack. Or else, you can buy instant red dates with longan drink.
happy.gif
 
Cactus,
Yeah about royal jelly. Actually I was taking it in my pre-preg days. But my first gynae does not really encourage it though she never say we should not take. So I stop it.
 
pkdust - I dun know if royal jelly will cause any allergies.. but if MTBs have allergies or asthma, shouldn't take.

But I'm prob the most discouraging when it comes to supplements.. cos i"m a firm believer that balanced meals and lots of water are what we need for a healthy pregnancy. Luckily my doctor thinks the same way as I. So far, no anaemia.. so I'm quite relieved. That's the only thing I worry about - so I snack on red dates,and drink red dates & longan once a day. The instant type. And eat beef at least twice a week.
 
I have one question . Anyone knows if we should be sleeping on our left or right side as our tummy grows? I remember they told one side is better but I can't remember which one.
 
shycloud,

Red date is heaty also, so remember to remove seeds and dun take too much at one time.

pkdust,

I went to their branch at Raffles Place. A bit hard selling and they did keep recommending clothes. Usu i reject them if i dun like them.

But I also dare not go to their shop bec' always end up buying more than what i need. The only good thing is they can amend clothes foc if i dun like certain features.

Spring at AMK, so far i go the lady is ok and she never push clothes to me. I usu look at my own pace, if need help them i will ask her.

Sleep on yr left side. Right side will block blood circulation and on back is bad for back spine and blood circulation too.

Royal jelly i heard is good for bb. I ask gynae and she say can take but in moderation.
 
pkdust - if you feel uncomfy sleeping on your side, you can buy a wedged shape thing from mothercare.. and I think I saw it at moms&babes, or some shop like that. It's providing me very good support at night.
 
If i lie on my back too long, I get a bit dizzy and also back spine feel heavy. What i usually is i will sleep on both sides though left side is recommended. Sometimes i turn various position also.

Felicia,

Oh ya i saw at Carrefour yest that there have some sale on bb clothes at basket, 5 piece for $10 and some is 2 piece for $10. But doesn't look v nice, tink can wear only at home type.

Maybe it has been some time since i go Carrefour Suntec and i realise that they have modify a lot of sect and they look more organised now. Then the bb corner actually sell a lot of things just like Robinsons.
 
Veniz,
hehe...still can stand lor, just wan to endure lor =D...cos after buying bak kau, went to chinatown there walk walk, but there hor, so stuffy, only walked for 15mins and I give up liao..hee

Ellysia,
My next anental class will falls on Valentines Day wor...Will still be held at TMC =)..
 
pkdust,
Ya, left side better for blood circultaion, but I try to sleep on whichever side that I feel more comfortable. I am not used to sleeping on my side and tend to switch a few times per night.
Last night, I was too tired and fell asleep the moment I hit the pillow. Woke up in the middle of the night to pee and realised I ended up sleeping on my back and got backache.
 
Zu En,

if sleep too long on back, will have backache. Me experience too. But v hard not to sleep on back unless have pillow to restrain maybe.

I have cramps again on last sat, both legs. This time round i just rotate my ankle and the cramp is loosen liao.
 
I got a qns for experienced mummies.
I used to be very active b4 preggy. I will swim and go kickboxing. I realised that I am physically much weaker after preggy. Climbing a flight of stairs can get me panting badly.
Will we get back our physical fitness after delivery? I do missed sports alot, but dun dare to push myself too hard and am upset that I cant enjoy sports as per wat I used to. Even swimming feels hard at times.
 
pkdust.. i normally patronise the branch at International Plaza... yes the lady keep asking me to try this top or that top, but she is not pushy at all... even when I come back to exchange my clothes more than a week, she is still ok and keep smiling at me and let me try many clothes though she is not earning anything (coz I exchange).. very good service there.. she's mainly there on sat..


Btw, im running out of comfy shoes to wear.. anyone keen to order Birkens online? Need about 4 pairs (90euro) to enjoy free shipping...
http://www.tobiasmayer.com/birk_style.php?S_ID=3630&Image=140803s.gif&IC=

Saw some nice designs inside only abt S$50... Singapore shops are selling much more expensive... any MTB keen to combine? i can go order then mail the shoes to you all...
 
Zu En,

Do the stretching exericises taught by pre-natal classes? I think it help in maintain the muscles.

I am thinking to exercise after giving birth too, bec' i still have gym membership though now i have freeze it. need to tone up a bit and slim down also.

I have experience 1 year no exercise (bec of wedding preps etc and too tired to go exercise), then i go back to exercise. Have to start slow in beginning, cannot have same expectation as last time. Slowly can build up.

Ya i have both legs got cramp at the same time. But this is the 2nd time i go cramp so i rotate my ankles as taught by pre-natal class and it really works.
 
Ellysia,
so u went suntec yest?

leng Leng,
It will take u sometime =)..

ZuEn,
i also hv blocked nose since wed..hiaz, cough also...so sianz..

Roxy,
Talking abt bb's kicks, i started to feel it more often frm wk20 onwards...yest while i was watching tv, bb was kicking, then i ask hb to pt his hands there, he said he can't feel anything, so i told bb to kick more to let daddy feel...She did but mayb men's skin too thick, can't feel anything..haha
 
roxy,

I am nt so sure on ordering shoes online cos tink need to try on to be more better sure.

I bot mine at Taka shoes sect at week 7 preggy i tink, hb recommend one. Still wearing it now.
 
Ellysia,
I signed up for a full year membership at Amore (to attend lesson once a week). I became preggy before I even start the lesson. -.o" I have freeze the membership too and have to go back after delivery. I am quite worried that I cannot exercise like before wor. Right before preggy, I experienced episodes of hyperventilation and have cut down on exercising. So I super long never exercise liao. I hope to bf to help lost some weight, but this one cannot control one. Haha. Hopefully my breast and bb cooperate. ;p
 
Zu En,

Anyway it is good for us to exericise after give birth, not only for figure but for our health too.

Becos i am not a regular exerciser, but i have experience in exercising regularly then stop for some time then revert again. The method to resume exericising is to start slow.

E.g. last time use to exericse for 1 hr, then cut down to 30min. Slowly build up.

Your classes is wat kind of classes? Kickboxing is v hectic, i am not sure if yr body can take it since u no exercise for 10mths. Pilates and yoga maybe still can.
 
feifei...
Ur gal is so guai!! You ask her to kick more and she respond to you... Mine is purposely stop kicking when hubby put his hand there :p Im sure your hubby will be able to feel her kicks in a few weeks time ... my friends always tell me by 7-8 mths, kicking will probably become quite painful...


ellysia,
Yes order shoes online cannot try sizes, i was tinking of trying at shops here first then go online to buy.. see anyone keen or not.. if no one keen then I prob pay more to just buy in Sing...


shycloud
Must be so excited to see baby again tmr! I'm sure your DS will be fine =)
 
feifei,
My blocked nose is on and off de. I not sick but still get blocked nose. It is one of preggy "side-effect". My not fully blocked, partial niah, but just as irritating.

Roxy,
I am wearing crocs now. I dun find Birkens comfortable. I find them too hard and give me blisters.

shycloud,
Jia you. Everything will be fine.

Ellysia,
Amore offers a wide range of classes from aerobics to kickboxing to yoga and stuff. I tot of picking up yoga too after delivery. At least not so siong. I scared my body cannot take it, then I hyperventilate again. Sianz.
