sasa de mouse: no lah, i'm just being kiasu abt the $450 claim. One mommy (can't rem whom) mentioned about being abt to claim medisave, so I guess we should start doing so?!!
Sri Leo: you still dunno the gender of your lil bb?!!
Mrs Yap: actually 1.3kg at week 29 is ok. If your DH and your own built are small, dun expect a HUGE baby...just snoop around your clan...
When u eat beef, take care it's fully cooked.
For alleviating constipation, best to take kiwifruits.
Jaymickey: where was maryann's studio? Did u manage to get all your semi-nude original copies home, or she retains a set for future reproduction? Did u sign an agreement with her for using your semi-nude pics for her website portfolios?
Better make sure. You'll never know how famous you or your DH will become one day!!! KEKEKKEKE!!! Just like Sakorzy's wife, Carla Bruni's nude shots were published after she married the French President!!!

Thank you mummies for the warm welcome. I am expecting a boy, my second one in fact.
Traz and Sri, sorry to hear that you guys are going through a very difficult time. As it is, pregnancy is already a difficult period for many. Be strong yah
Re: weight of bb
For my first pregnancy, I was also concerned about my bb's weight. So for the last 5 weeks, I took a lot of rest. Gynae put me on bedrest. I guess it helped. My son was born 2.76 kg, not exactly a big bb. Jus thankful it's more than 2.5 kg.

<font color="119911">Flos (flos) - the semi nude that mommies here have done don't include any topless shots right, nothing like Carla Bruni's! Anyway, no private bits exposed, so no problem lah. I posted mine on FB and multiply, so alot of my colleagues etc also saw them.
On the $450 from medisave - just bring along all your pre-delivery receipts from the gyne & make the claim when you settle the hospital bills.
Sri Leo (sri_leo) - At least, coming from a malay family, I am sure you have pretty good moral support from your family & extended family ya? And yes, baby & mommy's health is the utmost importance!
Constipation - Had abit recently & have been eating prunes (Sunsweet pitted prunes) everyday as well. Makes alot of difference. You don't want to overstrain when pooing, would end up with hemorrioids.</font>

missk: u mean by resting enuff, it helps to make bb grow bigger?
bigtoes: heheh, the thing abt FB photo is that once u make a comment, your friends will get that in their news feed (unless otherwise set as private). So not only had your colleagues and friends seen your semi-nude shots, so had all your friends' friends!! All my friends hv seen your beautiful photos, really!!!
ava: I love this picture she took several yrs back. She is super gorgeous...
LC: I dun like the oil stains on my bedlinen...u apply the cream on top of the oil? that's a lot of grease!! u must be flawless
I just peeled off 2 skin tags on my chest and OUCH! I bled!

Flos - I no apply the cream on top of the oil for all the mentioned body parts, I will drown in grease.. hahaha.. I just applied the cream on my tummy cos I only apply very little of the oil on the tummy cos I dun like my top to stick to the tummy (if apply too much).. 
Wat are the two skin tags on your chest?
If you wan a bigger baby, go for durians and beef (cooked).. but remember to take some coconut juice too.. to counter the effect.. And, I realise taking sweet stuff will also increase the baby weight..

Jaymickey: your shots are really very nice

LC: nope, I dunno big babies. I dun really like coconut juice. I like to brew barley water.
I developed some skin tags that resemble zits on my neck and chest area. gynae told me not to pick at them, but I was quite disobedient...the skin tags will go away after u give birth.
jane kate: oh, swollen feet. this is your no. what time? those old wives, esp those from Malaysia, will tell u, you'll give birth after your feet swell the 3rd time.

Hi hi, Bacon&Egg
i can imagine you getting out of the bed.. remembered the gathering at Ava's place, you were already quite big.. not easy to turn to the side to sleep too. I always forget not to turn too fast, dun noe baby will be affected or not..
I went pedicure too two weeks back and the person also said I have dirty nails and a thick layer of dead skin.. Ho ho ho.. I told her "That is why I am here.." But it is really a luxury to do the pedi.. pampering my feet for 2 hours.. will go again, prob two or three weeks before my EDD..
I also have this reddish (sometime purplish) marks at my thigh..I ignore it.. just continue blindly greasing the area with the oil. It has become a routine..
Liboymum - you hubby is so "encouraging".. haha.. guess my hubby will react the same when i mention about the photoshoot.. haha.. Massage Lady for post natal massage, he did not say anything when I said I wanted one that can do 2weeks.. Reason being, I am paying for it.. Stingy Man!!!

<font color="119911">Flos (flos) - hah, yah...not much privacy on FB, even less on multiply. But don't post anything incriminating lah, so no big deal. Several hundred employees from my company are on FB anyways! hehe, good to KPO on what everyone is doing, their private lives etc!
Speaking of photos - hubby is getting a new lens for his canon SLR. Said he wanted it to take 'studio type' photos of the baby...but have to familarize first, so we are taking more photos of my preggy belly this weekend (fully clothed this time, think more outdoor shots).
Pedicure - am still doing my own pedi! Its a miracle that I can still reach and cut my own toe nails
Had hubby do pedi for me the other week, but his skills not up to par lah...
Anyway, off for my gyne appnt in abit. Have a good evening mommies!</font>

Hi, at how many mths of pregnancy we can start to take coconut drink? Just the drink alone or we have to eat the flesh also? What type of coconut? The green col. type or the Thailand coconut? Does taking the drink shoot up sugar level?
Also, why we need to take coconut drink? Anyone knows? Paisay, so many questions.

Poop: They will usually administer an enema after u check in and get shaved etc, so that flushes out the colon. anyway, what you can't see won't hurt you and the docs/nurses are all used to it...
SarahMay
You asked about massage lady earlier right? This is a new lady i'm trying out...may use her for postnatal too, and go for 20 days...twice the babies, twice the massage time! haaha! would like to go for 30 days but so ex!!! she sounds v confident she can get me back into shape...

Jen Kate: Mine is continuous swelling, not a one-time thingie. So when they keep prophecising I'll give birth prematurely, I ignore them! grrrrrr..
bacon&eggs: mine is right side. When I sleep on my left, bb keeps poking and jabbing. When I lie on my back, I snore.
LC: There won't be any scars I hope!!! itchy fingers lah...
Pedicure? I love pedicure. I can't reach out to my toes anymore.
I'm going for my Brazilian wax soon. yes yes, I know I've been sounding like a broken record and saying this many times, but honestly, I never got down to booking a slot with Strip. Scared I trigger early contractions...how? anyone gone for hers?
lilboymom: LOL!! My DH also thot I was joking when I asked if he'd like to take those preggie shots at the studio. He nearly flipped. "Wait your nude photos end up in cyberspace for all to see how?!! Just like Edison Chan's case, his pics got stolen! No, cannot post on blog! I can take for you at home when I'm back!!!" Hmm, guess will take them after bb's born.
Grace: up to u to take coconut lor. Some believe your bb will come out cleansed. I dunno how true lah...in China, there aren't readily available coconuts, unless u live on Hainan Island wor...it's not in the TCM "manuals"...in the West, the preggers dun drink coconut either. It must have been from the tropical countries or South Asia then.
Rachel: no, ur bowels will be emptied before they deliver ur bb.
bigtoes: i know...but it's kinda fun to kaypoh other people's photos!!!

rachel,
you can get books on bb massage. If you are in Mrs Wong's class, they give free bb massage lessons in one of the seminar...not sure if its over..but you can find some pic illustrations of bb massage in Mrs W's books..
Flos,
I assume brazilian wax should be v v painful cos i went for my facial last week, when beautician squeeze the black heads and pimples on my face, it is already v painful...can feel the pain travelling from legs upwards...

Grace - The coconut is the thailand husked young cocount. Cold cold storage got sell.. some drink once a week while some only drink once for the whole pregnancy (in the third trimester and not earlier cos cooling).. Like what flos said, it is up to individual.. some believe the coconut water will cleanse the baby especially after all the durain and tonic herbal soup the mom took during the trimesters..

alabone (alabone) : ah ... if your gynae assures you then should be ok. but do monitor if you get swelling, headaches, blurred visions etc. My friend had them cos she had high blood pressure and most of the symptoms. But you can prevent it from happening though. Can read up more here: http://www.babycenter.com/0_preeclampsia_257.bc?page=1&articleId=257
Flos, I think e gynae meant bedrest. That means no excessive movement so that the blood flow to the bb is good.
Hello Taslyn..where will u be delivering?
Re: coconut
I am not sure where it originated. The Indonesians sure beliff in drinking coconut during the late pregnancy. I did for my last pregnancy.

hi sri, taslyn n missk
missk how old is ur first kid?
shazz and missus
3 paediaticians have told me that bananas can cuase constipation in babies. And for me, i find that eating too many bananas can make me constipated too.
rachel
one of the signs that we r gg into labour is the urge to poo. That's caused by the pressure of the baby descending. And yes, giving birth is like the feeling of pooing, just that the "poo" is super big!
alabone
take care! hope the rest of ur preg will be smooth sailing
traz
so so sorry to hear abt ur situation *HUGZ*
flos
what r skin tags?
ava
thx for the pics
But guess the sizes r too big. I ordered an S size from the latest BP but dunno if it'll go thru cos have to hit MOQ of 30 pairs...
skinny pig
me also frequently can't get back to sleep after gg to toilet at 3 plus am. Somemore i have to wake up at 6am. It's darn horrid. At times i just take chicken essence so that i know what i'm teaching... Then in the afternoon I'm so tired I can't think.

tell ur hubby the massage works!!!
2 of my SILs had caesarean and din do till a few weeks later. Plus the massage lady din dare to rub properly. Now they still have tummy...
My other SIL gained like 20kg and she said her butt cheeks were literally spilling off the chair, but after massage she managed to slim down. Not like super slim kind, but much much better than before. At least can see waist.
And for me, I could wear my jeans after confinement though they were very fitting. But at least cld squeeze in and my tummy din feel like jelly...
