Ellysia, I have some maternity tops left over from my purchase 4 yrs back. But some changed colours, so I only have a couple left. I bought 3 pants this time round, but for tops, I just bought those tunic tops (wide long types, which was and I think still is in fashion now) to wear as I thought of wearing them after I gave birth. Maybe that few times when taking trains, I was wearing the black tunic top, guess black always make pple look slim, that's where the problem lays.

Ya Ellysia, it can come back. They say my hb one is call 'Eng' in hokkien, can go away if taken traditional herb soup, but hor, he took the soups but still no cure. Just hope it will not come back (he told me his doc who did the operation said this time round the op will be sucessful in full removal as they found a sucessful way to completely cure it). See how it goes, otherwise, next time I have to take care not two but three children (including him lor).
Veniz -
I totally agree with u!
Last week when I boarded the train from Yishun to CTH, I wait and wait and finally an empty seat at Novena. I am so glad as I was feeling dizzy that morning.
As I was about to happily sit down, a man tell me to give up my seat to another pregnant lady, whose tummy is much bigger then mine! I got angry and answered him back, "I also pregnant!"
Feeling embarassed, he hide behind his newspaper and continue reading.
Just becos that day I am not wearing one of those maternity top.

cactus, its not necessary. normal vaccinations can be done in GP clinics or polyclinics. But sometimes it is just that if babies are sick, seeing a PD may be better.
I have relatives who bring their babies to polyclinics for the vaccines as they are subsidised rates, and some who go to PD if their kids/ babies are sick, etc. Its really up to individuals.

Ellysia,
Yah, I think the Group B Strep test is done vaginally (at least according to the brochure given by my gynae).
Cactus,
I was also quite surprised by the PD thing. But if I am not wrong, the PD is to check on bb first few days after birth. In fact, I'm not sure if it is a must, but coll who just delivered said she had a PD check on her bb at Mt A so I guess it's quite standard? Thereafter (after u have been discharged), if u want to see GP for jabs, I believe it should be ok also.

I'm just wondering what is the value add of a PD... if the medicines are the same. My nephew is currently seeing a PD for normal flu and fever. but I realised his medicine is nothing special. It's the same that my hb's cousin is taking - hb's cousin sees a GP. Maybe poeple go to PD cos it is covered by their company, or for a peace of mind.
Oh no star, seems like we have to wear maternity clothes when taking the trains. I better save my maternity clothes for the days I will be taking trains. But hor, that time I wore my polo tee with bulging tummy, those pple dun even want to give me a seat. Haiz, I think, most important is we self defence ourselves by protecting tummies in trains as most pple nowadays are very rough.
hi ladies,
had been real bz these 2 days..customer juz came over to my office to do some testing..finally finish liao..super tired now..hehe..hvnt got time to read all ur msgs..
cactus,
ask u ah..u said u bought the mattress from JL rite?? u remember the measurement of the mattress?? i saw 1 in BHG..it's quite firm..but not very big..n it cost $95 lor wif 1yr warranty..dunno wanna buy anot leh..

Bizznow, I cannot remember the measurement of the mattress..but it is a standard cot size (I think there are 2 standard cot sizes though).I bought mine from JL at $29 leh... I'm quite sure it is different cos mine dun have warranty. no brand even. cheap cheap one... I bought 2 pieces. Mine is very firm. If I kneel on the floor with one knee, I can't even feel the floor surface. That's why I think mine was a pretty good buy. Dun know whether lasting or not... but I'm prepared to change if it gets dirtied by bb. cos inexperienced mom mah..
hi bizznow, initially I thought of buying normal size mattress, but decided to get a cot sized mattress (although I'm not using cot) cos I think a bb will be more comfortable and secure in a smaller mattress.. and I believe the mattress cannot last bb until beyond 2 years old.. cos definately will have milk, slivia, urine stain. no kidding.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed these 2 cot sized mattresses can last till bb is 2 years old, then I'll change to a normal size mattress.

actually there are high end mattresses like simmons which come with waterproof surface but not cheap. close to $1k, I think. My colleague was telling me about it. my thinking is no point buying that type of mattress to last forever. since bb still small, i dun mind buying 2 small cot sized mattresses.. small and easy to store away the spare.
hi feifei,

cactus,

feifei,
My results is 115. So shd be quite safe.
Seems like yr results is considered high risk. Better cut down on yr sugar liao. If u cut down yr sugar, u body insulin dun have to work so hard to dissolve the sugar and less strain on yr body.
Maybe my 1 mth highly controlled diet really help. U can try my method.
After i change my diet, now if i eat sugary stuff i find it too sweet. I guess my taste bud has been changed too. Yest i ate 1 chocolate roll, really sinful.
So far this mth only eat 1 ice-cream bot from ice-cream man, those $1 type.

Zuen, she had quite complications due to blood flow, i tink and was hospitalised from week 25.. tink at wk 28, they decided can take the babies out.. yes she is very sad to lose one but am glad to have one... I think she's in KK... coz I guess 10k is considered cheap
hi jesslyn.. nope baby kingdom and hypermart quite expensive and no discount at all for bb cots etc.. find baby fairs more worth it..
sharon.. hiccups are quite cute.. u feel these soft thudding at ur stomach area, like heartbeat but much slower and it's very regular.. like once every 1 or 2 seconds and last for a few minutes... i feel them once a day. I asked my gynae before, he said it's perfectly normal for bb to have hiccups and not to worry..
feifei, wat's the usual result for the glucose test? I Tink ellysia and my test were ok. Muffin's one wasnt so ideal and she went to see diabetes specialist...

I was scheduled for the 8:30am, then 2 hrs later another test for glucose

Roxy, Ellysia & Muffin,
Is it compulsory to take the blood test for sugar level after a certain week? So far, my gynae hasn't mentioned that to me before.
Btw, I've been feeling bb move regularly since after lunch. So relieved.
I guess she finally woke up.
Thanks everyone for your concern.

TF.. not draw blood.. just prick the finger only to take a little bit of blood then test the sugar level using those small handheld machines diabetics use... so it's not painful at all
Initially I also thot draw blood.. can faint haha but luckily only prick fingers 3 times...
Krispy.. not compulsory, unless the sugar level in your urine tests are high.. mine was ok each visit but coz my dad is diabetic,so they abit KS, thought better take.. you need to inform your gynae if any of your family members has diabetes as they are worried about gestational diabetes... glad to hear your little princess is ok now
