Hi Buffy:
I am with Dr Ong at Mt E. I'll be 10 weeks when I next visit him, if everything is alright. So soon I have to consider signing the package, I heard package starts at 12 weeks.
You are rite abt the hormones med. I just hope my own hormones are not dropping so fast that the med no effect. Other than not having MS, I also don't seem to get hungry that often. My problem now is insomnia. Cant fall asleep =(
Hi Mousebb:
Do take care and rest well.
Hi Purebliss:
Congrats, its double happiness for you!

My hubby wants me to guai guai stay at home to rest and he gets the maid to cook for me. So me no excuse to go out. He din even want our son to stay at home with me cos scared our chubby son wants me to carry him all the time. Usually if i dont need to go to work, my son also doesnt need to go infant care center. He will stay at home with me.
I also scared if i walk too much, the bleeding will become worse. My doc has verbally given me a list of things which I cannot do during this period. That's why he want me to eat, sleep and watch TV, dont even think of other things!

I think i'm going to eat malay rice for lunch later! Asam fish!! And then the sauce on the rice... make it more appetizing!
Hmm... My gynae never say "no" to salad (raw veggie) ley.. he only told mi no raw meat/seafood/sashimi... but veggie he said ok.
Hey ladies, do u all tend to burp every now n then? I think i'm a super "burp-er" ley.. until i also cannot tahan myself! I always have the suffocated feeling and I can't sleep well at night!*sobs* Very tired n sleepy but just can't sleep well... it's a torture!! I read that it's advisable to sleep on our left side so all these while, i tried to sleep on my left side and don't know why i just feel very uncomfortable!! In the end slept on my back! Sigh...
Diane: Mi too!! Starting from 3 or 4 plus... i will feel very uncomfortable in my stomach and then everyday after dinner i will have the tendency to vomit!
Any of u experiencing indigestion? Like last sat, i had soya milk for breakfast den evening time when i vomit, the soya milk came out!!! After so long still never digest???!!!! OMG!!

hi Jasminetea,
True lor, 2 sets of toys can be really expensive...lucky for you the nanny is willing to travel to your place. I know some will not, unless the pay is high
Ya, talking about expense, mine is going up up up..hahaa...once the maid comes in, i got to pay for another extra person salary. Imagine i am not working leh.
Cutting back on luxury item is true, but more than that..like lesser to spend on resturants visits or savings..
Do you drive? if so, u can imagine paying for car and petrol..hahaha..lagi shiong

Elchwong: I'm so craving for those nice n yummy food but ever since i got the indigestion n vomitting prob.. i lost all my appetite! Now i only hope all MS will disappear soon and my appetite will come back again and i can sleep well every night!
I never encounter all these nonsense when i had my first one... sometimes i just can't help feeling sorry for myself now.. suffering...

Yup. Both sides parents all dont know. I scared if i tell them now, they will be very gan chiong and give me a lot of stress. Also, since my pregnancy is still unstable, it is better that i dont let them know first in case they get disappointed in the end...
Me not really close to my colleagues but need to let them know is bcos i have been on mc regularly since this pregnancy. Feel that i should let them know the truth otherwise they think I'm trying to 'clear' my mc. Trying to tong until end of this month cos have tendered my resignation and serving my notice now.
How many weeks are you now? I also feel that my tummy is popping out leh. But bcos my boy is only 6 months now, most of them may think that i have not shed off the extra weight i put on during my first pregnancy.

Good morning ladies
Very nice weather today.
Littlebluey, do you have anybody to help you to do your confinement if you don't engage CL? My mother and MIL can't help me at all, so I do not have much choice but to engage one. I also very hesitiate to engage one initially due to cost and also I don't like stranger in my house. But in the end, I'm very glad I engaged one 'cos my CL is very good and with her around, I can build back my health in that 28 days and also concentrate on bf my baby. Without her, I think I won't be able to bf my gal 1 yr 'cos I'm those type who have very little milk. Need a lot of effort to get the supply.
So it really depends on your needs and situation. I'm engaging my CL back again this round.
Dimpletots, you can do waxing at Strip during pregnancy as well.
I had done that last round and glad I had done it before delivery.
Buffy, my boss isn't very supportive during my 1st pregnancy either. In fact, since he knew my pregnancy, he had been showing me black face for 1 mth. So I haven't announce my this pregnancy to him yet. Can't imagine what wil happen if I announce. I just don't care lar but at least I prepared for it. Last round was a bit taken back 'cos normally he was quite a supportive boss but don't know why he wasn't supportive of my pregnancy. Maybe 'cos I got to be away from 3 mths and he is not prepared for that.
Janey,
Yup quite lucky to get a nanny who is willing to come over. However, she has yesterday hinted me if I can bring my 2nd baby over to her house instead and at a much lower salary. However, I'm not very keen on that. I'm still discussing with her. Let hope everything will turn out fine.
Haaa.. true true got to cut down on resturants visits (actually had cut down since my #1 is born) as well as savings. I guess not much a choice? Unless our salary suddenly go up which don't seem to be possible at the moment. :S
Ya, my hb drives. So can imagine the expenses. I guess we just have to manage as it goes
When will you be getting your maid if you do employ one? I'm thinking if I should get her in my 3rd trim 'cos by then I might need some help around when my hb is not at home with me. Still thinking about it.
Cheers~

Hi missk, I am in China and I only managed to find the local brands kits. The first two that I bought only cost sgd3 each and so I doubt their accuracy though I tested positive on both. Then I bought another one at sgd6 and was also positive. So I went to the gynea here and went through the tummy scan to confirm
karen, thanks for sharing. As we are overseas, we will pretty much be on our own. No parents and good friends here for support. I have not decided if I should give birth here or back home. So much things to consider. And I am considering if I need a helper here as I am worried that I cannot manage alone. Currently, we have a part-time cleaner, it is more on the baby part that I may need help.
elchwong, I had subway last week. But I ate terriyaki chicken, so it was actually 'cooked' except for the vegetables. Not sure if it is advisable to eat those ham, but I will probably try to avoid that.
I had diarrhea yesterday and then stomachache until now. Now paranoid, not sure if anything wrong with me and should see the doc or not leh
And i did not eat much since yesterday lunch. No appetite.
Littlebluey, I tried wearing my favourite jeans last week and got to unbutton when i was having my meal... hehehe...

hi Jasminetea,
I will probably get her in around May/June period. So i can train her and few months down the road, she will be helping me out at home
Hmmm..your nanny suggested to bring both kids to her place? It depends on what you think, i think its best to be at your house, furthermore, if you get a maid who is good in handling baby, perhaps you need not spend on nanny. How much cheaper is she willing to cut down, this is also a factor if you want to consider..but every morning, you got to drop the kids their before you go off to work lor.
Actually my resturants visits are limited to weekends..hahahaa...after 5 days of homecook meals Car is the expensive one, one month we got to spare 1k for car, then plus maid around $800, don;t think can have savings liao But, seriously i am super happy with my lifestyle now, no stress from work, no need to hurry every morning and looking at my kid growing up each day..

<font color="0000ff">Jasminetea, my mum did hint to me the other day that she won't be able to cook for me daily and she did ask if I'm getting a Cl? But I told her it's still too early to say anything as yet.. am still considering it wor. My mum has many years for babysitting experience and I've learnt how to take care of a baby along the way so more or less I hope I can cope with it.
My DH said he will help with the household chores and i basically dunnit to do anything at all..
hahahaha...but will have to think abt it again I guess hmmm...
Pinkimum,
Most of the pants that I "almost can't fit in" have to be unbutton when I'm sitting down or having a meal hahahaha...that's y now wearing a baby doll dress is more comfy hahahaha...tht's really bad! hmmm...
Littleger,
Everything shd be taken in moderation I guess

Hi Snoopy Tea, I am with Dr Adrian Woodworth, I am going to his Choa Chu Kang clinic and he goes to all the private hospitals to deliver, not only TMC. I find that he is very reassuring, no nonsense, straightforward, talk fast & kind. He does not volunteer info but is very willing to answer if you have any ques. My appt is vert fast as he has alot of patients so waiting time is only about half an hour...
Littleger, I ask about the sting ray ques in another thread, they said eat in moderation should be ok..

Hi Snoopy, think he is a eurasian but he looks chinese...

xuanting - yah must remember that advice... mine is 2 big meals (lunch and dinner) and 2 small meals (breakfast and teatime) these days... must change liao...
pinkimum - i think chrysanthemum is ok - don't think it contains caffeine.

Hello, mummies! Just woke up from nap, so very good mood now. Hahahha. One of the perks of SAHM, can hug hug my girl and nuah together in bed on rainy days. But house messy now, and must start cooking soon.
Stephy: Ya, I think if you don't say anything, they shave you here in Singapore. In US, they dun do it anymore for natural birth. I think they shave previously because people think it's more hygienic.But actually, no real benefits lah.
One lady in my pre-natal class asked her hubby to shave her before they went in to hospital to deliver only to be told by the nurse that it's not necessary anymore. Hahahaha. But if you really want to shave, better to do it yourself at a waxing salon loh.
One question, mummies. Do they have delivery suites here in Singapore? I haven't go to the tour at TMC yet, so I dunno. The hospital where I delivered last, we are assigned a room like a hotel. Then you wait, deliver and rest there throughout your stay. No need to move here and there.
Cos my mum in law don't want my hubby to be with me when I deliver. Some supersition about the birthing process will affect the guy' luck or something. Then we got excuse cos it's delivery suite mah, everything done at the same place, so where else can he go? But now, in Singapore, if I kena push somewhere else to deliver, she might want my hubby to stay out until the baby is out. Sian leh, the last time when she said this, I was so angry (lucky I in US, and she in Singapore). I told my hubby if I gotta give birth alone, that's setting me up for post natal depression.
But now, we are all in Singapore, so hmm.... don't know how to avoid this issue....

<font color="ff6000">aiyoh, that is really quite an awful superstition. Maybe if you have a fierce gynae you can let the gynae emphasise to her how impt it is for your husband to be there.
i think MAH has such delivery suites though i'm not sure. I haven't gone to the tours yet either... intending to go TMC one this Sat.
Anyone's bb going to be the first or second grandchild in the family? Mine's the first for both my parents and hubby's parents. Also going to be the first great-grandchild on both my mum's side and my hubby's dad's side... I'm the second oldest grandchild mah.</font>

pinkimum: Where are you located in China? Take care of what you eat ya. I used to stay in Shanghai a few years ago. When I eat outside, I simply make myself not think about what's going on in their kitchen. Hahahaha.. But now you preggy, must be more careful loh. Can start to ask around for hospital/nanny/helper recommendations loh. Then can make better decision for you and baby.

dimpletot: I think my mum in law will volunteer to go in with me instead of hubby. But i think I'll just giggle all the way if she's there. Hahahaha. How to give birth????
Actually, looking back, my hubby was kinda redundant at the last birth. He's not the talkative type, so don't know how to 'an wei' me at all. Worse still, he just sat in another chair and play with his blackberry (during my contractions!!!) But during the last part, he more pro-active lah, hold my hands and telling me to push....etc. This time round, I must give him more detailed instructions....

For TMC, you will be put in the 'observation room' until you are ready to give push, then they will push you to the delivery ward and after you delivered, you will be pushed back to your ward. During my hospital tour at TMC last time, i thought I saw there is a sign at the 'observation room' that says only husband is allowed to stay in the observation room. In that case, you can tell your mother-in-law she cannot go in with you, only your hubby is allowed.
