I also got leg cramp last night!! aiyo.. I was so shocked.. cos I never got leg cramp before, and now I know how it feels.
I was shifting my sleeping position and I wanted to lift my left leg and realised I could not lift it up! Was about to ask my hubby for help, then felt I could move my leg again.
Damn scary.. I felt so immobilised.
Anybody knows the reason for leg cramps?

chipchip,
mine's more like pelvic soreness, especially when i get up from bed or carry too heavy things. Now I'm abit worried about carrying heavy stuff cos I forgot to ask doc abt my placenta moving up and sometimes after carry too heavy things, my pelvic area starts to feel sng sng.
hisstory,
thank goodness it's not a nightmare. Just a weird dream. Noticed you're same age as me.. You born in year of monkey or goat?

I've had part time helper for a few years liao. She only comes during weekdays and does simple cleaning and ironing. Hubby and I still have to do alot of other things but at least the major things like washing toilets, ironing clothes and cleaning floor, no need to do. This arrangement will continue when I give birth.
If I have to go out for meetings after baby is borned, then will leave at grandma's place. Her place got maid and she lives just 5 mins away from me. Another family friend has also offered to help if I need babysitter for a couple of hours, so hoepfully this arrangement will work out. I would hate to have a full time maid around the house. Must sit properly, walk properly and talk properly. And then hubby will have to be careful around maid.
Yesterday, when I was shopping at Robinsons, my toes got cramp. Read that leg cramps very common. Sigh... I see signs of varicose veins leh. So ugly.
Btw, did someone say that the Ameda pumps available in tangs? May want to go down and take a look...

valnsw,
glad things are ok with u n hubby
leg cramps:
i used to have it when i face the aircon or fan to sleep. then my tcm dr told me not to. ever since then i change my sleeping position to head facing the aircon or fan...so far so good. no more cramps ever since. also i use a pillow to elevate my legs when i sleep to avoid blue veins ( there;s a term or it...can't remember )
krmeow,
i also work from home. but i have cancelled most of my projects for now until i can handle the baby well. i will go back to work as soon as i can handle. both my mom and mil think i can;t handle the house with my part time helper...even if she comes in 2x a wk. they are also concerned as a have a dog as well. as much as i want to try.............. the bargain as of now is....get a full time maid = keep the dog. if not the dog goes
seems like i'm stucked

M2B / twin stars,
Thanks. Things are ok for now. I will take one step at a time.
Any mummy feel like your tummy is drooping to the side when you sleep on your side? I'm thinking of getting pillow to support the tummy cos it feels like jelly when droop to one side and abit uncomfy.

hi mummies,
did my detailed scan yesterday. i'm having a boy! can close shop already. baby should be of a big sized baby like my #1. my placenta is a bit low, so gynae advised me not to carry too heavy or do too strenuous stuff, which mean now really have to restrain from carrying my girl. hopefully, my placenta will move up...
hi twin star,
saw ur posting yesterday as i was surfing the forum while waiting for my lasik post-review check up. nope, the 4D scan was not done by dr ho. it's by another gynae at Mt E.
leg cramps
==========
maybe can try propping up the legs while sleeping, for blood circulation. though anenatal class got teach how to relief the cramp by ourself, normally, i will wake my hb up to massage for me. the feeling is v terrible... actually have to learn to relax so that the pain is not that painful. and also my mum say that need to relax so as to prevent "green veins" from appearing.

Heheh, iseeisee..
Me am neither monkey nor goat, am born in the year of the rooster. 1981 baby
krmeow
Tt's a really wonderful arrangement..
With a maid must be more careful, if we don't want her to hear our conversation, must speak in mandarin. But nowadays some maids are very clever, they even know dialect! So it becomes very tricky.. And when we speak in a language she doesn't understand, then she knows we are talking abt her
chipchip
The pain is perpetual, or only when you stand and walk?

valnsw,
i also experienced leg cramp last night! had to wake hubby up to 'straighten' and massage my leg. So painful.
extracted for your info.
Try these tips for keeping leg cramps at bay:
• Avoid standing or sitting with your legs crossed for long periods of time.
• Stretch your calf muscles regularly during the day and several times before you go to bed.
• Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes when you sit, eat dinner, or watch TV.
• Take a walk every day, unless your midwife or doctor has advised you not to exercise.
• Avoid getting too tired. Lie down on your left side to improve circulation to and from your legs.
• Stay hydrated during the day by drinking water regularly.
• Try a warm bath before bed to relax your muscles.
• There's some evidence that taking a magnesium supplement in addition to a prenatal vitamin may help some women. Check with your provider before taking any kind of supplement during pregnancy.
You may have heard that having leg cramps is a sign that you need more calcium, and that calcium supplements will relieve the problem. Though it's certainly important to get enough calcium, there's no good evidence that taking extra calcium will help prevent leg cramps during pregnancy. In fact, in one well-designed study, pregnant women taking calcium got no more relief from leg cramps than those taking a placebo.
twinstar and YLN,
my in laws' place has a labrador retriever. i also have the same fear as you. :\

i never ask hb on sponsoring pedi. The only thing he volunteered to sponsor is slimming after preg and maybe how to get boobs back in shape. He keeps repeating that slimfit advertisement "quan2 tian1 ran2 de4". bleah.. now duno what he says = action or not.
i prob will go for a waxing on my legs before delivery. cos think confinemt no time to think about hairy legs ;\

mani/pedi:
i think most moms are divided whether to go or not. for me, i can still cut my own toe and finger nails. i think the alcohol from the nail polish is really strong. haven't been able to find a mani/pedi salon that is well ventilated. so looks like none for me till i give birth.
leg cramps:
are u all referring to that sharp pull at your calve area? i get it sometimes in the middle of the night. the first time i got it, i woke up in shock, luckily it subsided after 5 mins. i tot it was because i exercised too much, coz' i went swimming the day before. so now i know it's pregnancy related...

little twin stars,
Oh dear, why your MIL like that? You better be prepared what to say in case your MIL badmouths you to your hubby. and be prepared that your hubby may side his mum wor.. sometimes, the poor hubby also stuck in between.
hmm.. maybe next time should lock your store-room. Else give some lame excuse that you are selling them off or somebody borrowed alrdy to "da fa" her.
Remember not to flare up at hubby cos don't affect yourself emotionally.

Maybe can choose the salons which are not so enclosed, then less of the harmful fumes in the air

MIL probs indeed.. She keeps telling me to eat this and that, and not because of Dr recommendation, but 'ren jia shuo', all the hearsay & old wives tales
I was qt pissed with her when she asked me for the umpteen time if i take durians. Even before preggy days, i dun fancy durians, and she knows. So she claimed, others said durians are very bu. I told her, I won't take it, coz it might result in gestational diabetes.. Man, I pay Dr for all supplements, might as well eat durians right?
On another occasion, she wanted to touch my tummy.. *faint*
chipchip
Have u told ur gynae abt it? Maybe he wld be able to advise how it happens and how to handle.. I try to shift my wt to the right when i stand/ walk

gosh, ur mil is kinda of 2 much liao. mus ask ur hb 2 talk 2 her oledi.
dongle,
ya, try 2 moisturise more or use a richer moisturiser. hving an itchy tummy is no joke. i hv been thr b4, so i understd.
joanne,
coz 4 c sec, d nurses can monitor d oxygen level in ur body by looking at ur nails. if u hv nail polish on, they can't c. so they'll ask u 2 remove.
valnsw,
wah, if he's willing 2 sponsor ur slimming sessions, i tink tt it's more than enough oledi. mine doesn't believe in tat. he always asks me 2 exercise so tt i can lose wt. bt then i m 2 lazy 2 do so. will c hw after tis pregnancy.

ReiRei,
Not the gynae say, it the GP who say cannot apply too much moisturiser during pregnancy.
Avocado,
GP say not allegy cos the rahses only found in concentrated area (tummy and breast). I applied Clarins oil on my tighs and buttocks too but there got no rashes. Been using the oil since my 4th month and only devleop the skin rashes recently. In any case, I had stoppped using the clarins until my situation improved.
I meant that we should not cut down on the intake of food but since Joanne's gynae say can cut down so was suggesting to her if she's doing it, should not starve the baby cos its eating from us

Tks, Will do more research on your recommendation. For now, I just use the cream that the GP gave it to me.
*itch* *itch*
Not the gynae say, it the GP who say cannot apply too much moisturiser during pregnancy.
Avocado,
GP say not allegy cos the rahses only found in concentrated area (tummy and breast). I applied Clarins oil on my tighs and buttocks too but there got no rashes. Been using the oil since my 4th month and only devleop the skin rashes recently. In any case, I had stoppped using the clarins until my situation improved.
I meant that we should not cut down on the intake of food but since Joanne's gynae say can cut down so was suggesting to her if she's doing it, should not starve the baby cos its eating from us

hisstory,
my MIL abit like yours. She keeps telling me: Don't worry about getting fat, must eat when hungry like indirectly telling me not to starve bb.
Cos she ever commented v proudly her 2 other grandchildren by her younger son, all hit 3.4kg so were the models for demonstrating to parents how to bathe baby. She ever said my hb and his younger bro almost hit 4kg even though they were due 2 wks earlier.
Sheesh..
I know I'm slim and I have v small appetite pre-preg, but that doesn't mean I'm starving my bb lo..
Sorry for the ranting.. haiz.. maybe she did not mean to be intentional.

*sigh* I eat when i'm hungry, coz it's not very nice to have those hunger pangs which may develop into gastritic pains, and I don't starve myself nor baby.. Dunno why they so worried that we wun eat. We eat moderately and sufficiently mah
I think the older generation like the bai-bai pang-pang babies.. My fren's ILs feed her 1 year old ger anything and everything, and blame her for breastfeeding, coz those on formula milk are bbpp *tsktsk*
chipchip
I think eat occasionally is prob okie.. Maybe just 1 or 2 pieces. But what your mum says has truth in it.. Esp during 3rd trimester, better avoid

vone, thks for ur enlightenment. I didnt know that.
Thinking about delivery scares me. Hb just asked me yest how long after delivery can hav sex, he asked out of curiousity. I told him i dunno, perhaps 1+ mth? But i said, i think its scary to have sex cos might have tear or epi so i would think the fear psychologically will be there..then he asked me to stop the topic cos it scares him thinking about the tear or cut part. Haha..

cindy,
I never bothered to go buy special stretchmark cream like clarins, mothercare or palmers.
It's this cheapo brand of baby lotion called Nozomi from Beaute Spring that my mum got. I just use cos it's there. It's lotion easily absorbed and there's this cooling feeling so at least helps in soothing the itch. As to whether it can prevent stretchmarks, have no idea. Heh.. I quite lazy so praying for the best I don't have stretchmarks.
