Thanks, mummies and mummies-to-be,
My spotting has stopped since a week ago. I'd asked him to get a part-time helper but he's procrastinating on it since he got a free one here.
Reading about how your husbands dote on you fill me with envy. I don't want to talk to my bb bcos I'm afraid the moment I open my mouth, I will scold her father.

hi mummies, so many updates today.
purebliss,
I had tried gaviscon and mylanta for my heartburn. Both don't work for me. Anyway, mylanta can be bought over the counter. I can pass you mine if you don't mind since I only took it thrice. I went to my gastroenterologist today. He gave me famotidine and nexium. Hopefully the medicine work.
everafter,
Sometimes I also feel very upset, especially at night when I feel so lousy and my hubby is not with me. Then I will feel very guilty towards the little one. I told my hubby maybe we should just stop at one and he was so disappointed, telling me two is better.
This Mrs Wong's class sounds so powerful. Hehe. Is there anyway to check the schedule online and book online? I also wana know what's so good about this Mrs Wong leh? Will it be too late to start the course during third trimester huh?
Oscar test>>
Mine is next Monday. I am looking forward to it cause so long never see my bb. Hehe.. Hope everything is good cause I will be flying back to China few days after that.
vitamins>>
I am taking mutli vit, calcium and neurogain. All from the gynea.

Hi I also talk to my bb everytime! Tomorrow I am going for my detailed scan, so excited to see bb again!! Will tell bb to guai guai & mummy & daddy can finish the scan fast! kekeke
Hi to all mummies, din post any msg for a while already.
CL: Oh the market rate now is $2k? Someone recommended me one that charges 1.8, but when i called, the CL wanted me 1.9k, so my mum advised me against engaging her. Is it true that the rate will increase according the how many children you already have i.e. 2nd preg will be charged more than 1st?
Forest: I also gained about 3kg so far, 14w now, how abt u? Think I overeat, all my pants cant fit already, and most of my tops too.
Clarins oil: If I have time I will shower 1st, apply the oil and have a quick rinse, but without putting shower cream again la. Can still feel abit oily after the rinse.

Good morning mummies!
Re: antenatal class by Mrs Wong Boh Boi
When I was expecting my #1, hubby enrolled me in Mrs Wong's class. Have learnt quite a lot in the class esp for 1st time parents, hubby and me have really benefitted from the lessons. The class also helps you to get mentally prepared for what to expect during your labour pains, and the arrival of your bb.

Cheezel, oh... then maybe is short of breath or other reasons. Better check with ur gynae.
Pinkimum, I dun mind, if you are convenient then you pass urs to me. Now I really look
, panda bear eyes, cannot sleep well.
Mummies, my stretchmarks appear already, on my lower abdominal and backside area... cream dun work. Argh! Hubby still says look like a "GLOBE" pattern... Envy those mummies with no stretchmarks.

i read on the cpf webby that we can claim after birth under the maternity package. we need to submit all the receipts for all the checkups and tests done. therefore, i believe we can also include the amount we paid for oscars, etc into this claim. suggest u check cpf webby for more info!

i book for post natal. Din know got massage for pre-natal one leh...heeheee... i book 8 sessions first. She said at least need 5 sessions to see effect. Then I booked 8 sessions first lor. If not enough, can book again but see if she is available or not first. I will have to call her after i give birth and also to tell her if i natural birth or c section so that she can decide when to start.
Twice a week is the norm i think.
I dun have to book CL because MIL doing for me. As for the prenatal, i also have book yet. No need so soon mah. I read that shld be at least 24 weeks of gestation then can book.
Tweety
I din buy DHA from Dr Ang. I have been eating "Goldminds DHA" from GNC before i was pregnant. It cost abt $60 after discount and last me for abt less than a month coz i eat 4 every day. The reason why i eat this product is because the DHA is derived from the marine plant (original source of DHA) that fishes eat to obtain the DHA in their meat. So thought better than fish oil. Sometimes, u dun know the fish oil is derived from what kind of fish also.
So cute ur baby!!!...mine was like an upside down cockroach during my last scan with Dr Ang.

i HOPE the massage lady can help me lose weight...haahaaa!! Actually heard that this kind of massage also can expelled out fluid retention etc and strenghten the womb. But it depends on how individual reacts to the massages bah.
My HB is the one who described HIS kid as an upside down cockroach...so heartless...wahaahaaa!! I think Dr Ang also very amused by his description.

Dang Gui: My fren's gynae specifically said don't take as it may cause jaundice in babies. But as my sis in law said, there are many other causes for jaundice, doesn't mean its the dang gui.
Tweety: Think your baby's measurement is ok lah, when I took my measurement at 10 weeks its was a shown only 9w4d, 3 days less than what it should be. But the next scan it was updated to same no. of weeks as I was pregnant.
Forest: I am about 1 week ahead of you. Planning to cut down on carbo to avoid too much weight again. Anyway not much nutritional value from carbs like rice, noodles and biscuits rite. I will try more protein instead.
Oh... how does stretchmarks look like har? I must check if I got any. They say its red lines at the start?

Hi Mummies,
Forest, just now i try something before eating and i din throw out. I make a glass of warm sour plum drink and drink first before eating... then i took my food... so far pass 1 hr plus... never "merlion".
My stretch marks came out already because my tummy stretches fast cos carrying 2 inside there. It is reddish and the pattern looks like watermelon stripe. I using Mustela stretchmark cream but i guess it will not help. When I preggy with No. 1, I also kanna whole tummy... this rd worst.. backside also have.
Varicose veins also appears on my tight... Purplish in colour.
