<font color="0000ff">dor dor</font>
yeah me already in 2nd trimester, am currently 17weeks. But me lazy now...haha..
now i prefer to join sprees...hehe.. so far i joined an Amazon and Old Navy spree. also now i don't see anything in Strapya that interest me leh. So no motivation to organise one.

I still don't know bb gender yet. If i confirm know liao, i think i will join more sprees to buy bb things leh...kekeke..

y i don't take pills ar? My gynae lor, he very pro-natural. he always ask me to eat balance diet. He tell me if only i cannot eat, then he will give me pills. I also think he's right lah, natural/actual food is better than pills. Since I can eat most things now, i listen to him lor.

so far, i only take folic acid and calcium pills (coz until now, i can't drink milk so he finally gave me calcium pills last week).

hi mummies !!

MIA for quite a few days due to my preparation of exam.
but exam not over yet ahah

ok let me recap some topics i read over the days ..

<font color="0000ff">2nd pregnancy</font>
some of you mentioned u feel weaker in your 2nd pregnancy.
It is reverse for me. I am stronger this time round, no MS, no ligament stretching pain etc. Maybe I eat a lot during my last confinement ? eheh

<font color="0000ff">sleeping position</font>

Steph u getting backache when u sleep ? try to stretch ur leg straight when u sleep on the side. I mean the leg touching the bed.

<font color="0000ff">child asthma</font>

for parents who had history of asthma, I dont know if the child will get child asthma. But if u r worried, then it is better to breastfeed your child as long as u can. This is usually advised by PD.

<font color="0000ff">cold drinks</font>

according to chinese physician, women shld not take too much cold drinks regardless of whether u r pregnant or not. I strongly believe in it. Hence I usually drink warm or at least not fridge cold kind of water.

<font color="0000ff">infant care</font>

I dont know how good is it for a baby to put into infant care. But do take note they tends to fall sick very easily. Baby when young are not having strong immunity and if they mix around with other babies, chances are that they get the virus from them. I know this happens to some babies I know.

Comparing to babysitter, at the infant care, it is maybe 1 teacher to 3 babies ?? but for babysitter, most of them are 1:1 right ?

<font color="0000ff">grapes</font>

grapes should not be taken in high amount due to the high sugar level in them.

not sure if they cause phlegm though. but i dont believe it. I eat all fruits in moderation esp Orange. Orange is high in Vit C and aids in absorption of iron !!

<font color="0000ff">washing bb clothes</font>

i use to hand wash bb clothes before they turn 1 year old. Only mix my bra with them as advised by mum cos she says I BF better to handwash, cleaner lah.

but now I put them together to wash except with my hubby's boxers ehehhe

Nini

ya for my case, i only had gers in both my pregnancy. ppl tell me I look more radiant leh. Dont know how will I look when I have a boy.

Eh tell u gers, u know quite a number of ppl guess I having a boy based on my looks. So hor i think not v zun this time round.

<font color="ff0000">PINKIE !!</font>

hehe meetup ah ? shld be ok .. but i need to think of who to take care of my gal.
Unless we can take leave then my gal is definitely with my mum.

how ah ?

<font color="ff0000"><font size="+2">WAH WE HAVE MORE GIRLS THAN BOYS NOW !! WOO HOOO !!!!</font></font>

<font color="808080"><font size="-2">sorry for the long post hor !! I cant control myself hehehe</font></font>

[stephsg73]

good morning ladies!

chloegal:
hey, i also had surgery to remove 2 cysts some years back. don't worry. think baby move around in our tummy. mine was shy too, turning to show his/her backside when gynae scanning my tummy. hehe..

oranges &amp; grapes
thot we shd eat more citrus fruits. but oranges make me cough so i started eating more grapes instead of oranges. anyway, moderation is right for everything we eat. folks said mandarin orange give air.. tummy already so much air can't purge sometimes so i avoided mandarin orange totally!

lbt:
yes i tried putting leg straight but sometimes feel like over stretching myself on one side.. feels weird too. think must drink some chicken essense to stay awake liao...

infant care:
if i can i want to bring baby to work hahah.. but cannot leh... so bo bian lor.. infant care is my most viable solution.

aiyah... feeling abit hungry now i go find snacks.. catch up again later... ladies, have a nice day ahead. tomolo TGIF liao! yeah!!!

P/S: cin_bunny.. i had prata just now too! hehehe...

[sychua79]

glitter
thanks

hmm for the outing, is it shopping first then dinner? usually dinner depends on whether i have anyone to help me at home. cos if my mum not ard, then it is just maid and my boy so usually i go back straight after work.

 

[pinkbunny]

SY

agenda is dinner. cannot bond and gossip over shopping so it will just be optional activity (like package tour!). if we like each other alot then i guess dinner will drag a bit longer. if we cannot stand each others' faces then i guess it will end earlier

 

[sychua79]

pinkbunny
okie, let me see whether i can make any arrangements. i m changing maid so may not be able to join. unless hb doesn't mind being the bbsitter for the night.
