velvel,
wah. birds nest sounds nice. our family doesnt know that i am preggie yet so no special treatment. hahah, i think when i tell them aft 1st tri i will get more home cooked meals from MIL and sisters in law. i look forward to home cooked soups and food. i love eating at my inlaws place.
 


Vel,
my MIL quite worried about me.. coz i dun eat tis n dun eat that..i haven been eating her food since #1 leh.. coz i scared home cooked food mah..so she scared i not enough "pu" mah.. when am in 2nd trim she will boil chicken with herbal for me to "pu"..
 
hi everyone, sorry to interrupt
i'm selling my quinny Buzz 07 model
(lime green colour) for $450 inclusive of basket which is sold seperately. it's in good condition used only for last 9mths.

interested pls let me know!
PM me!

thanks!
 
alibaba, haru & hui,

i like birdnest but expensive.. hahahaha. nvm ask hubby to get it.

my mum dont reali know about all those 'pu' thing..so she wana cook also ask alot of ppl. hahahaha. ' shi shang zhi you ma ma hao' hahaha. cos im still on hormones pills so after that then can eat 'pu' (as advise by the gynae).
 
Hi Ladies, just woke up from my afternoon nap.. always kena woken up by nausea. :p

Bbhuimin & Hui, i won't be seeking a 2nd opinion. Hb likes my gynae very much, which says a lot cos he generally distrust docs. When i was sick with meningitis, he really wanted to punch the docs cos they couldn't tell him wat was causing me to be sick.

Re: longans
Actually this longan, red dates and black chicken recipe was handed down by my great grandma. Red dates and longans are supposed high in iron. My granny later brew it for all her pregnant daughters and DILs.. all came out ok.. so i guess shd be ok.

Re: Maternity wear
I think i need jeans next. My work place we wear jeans. but hor if u can fit now, can u fit later when u are even bigger?

Vincy, my tummy look huge at night, aft MS... that's when my shorts get uncomfy but morn and aftn my tummy flat flat one.

Sumei, i think climbing stairs cannot be avoided. i only can minimise lor.. so far i climb up and down abt 3xs today... trying to keep it below 10xs.. :p i heard squatting can but not bending. some ppl say both squatting and bending also cannot. i was like, how am i gonna pick things up if i drop them? fall down?

Lilian, thanks for the link to Spring Maternity...

Hui, ur MIL nice hor...
 
My colleague all guessing tat i m preggie, sigh...vy diff to keep it to ourselves till after 1st trimester lei. I juz keep saying no lah, I m just fat...
 
Bear, ya lor. can only minimize. me too work involved alot of walking.. my friends all suggest me to take leave and rest.. wana hear what my gynae said this sat b4 i make any decision.

heehee.. im keen to drink the black chicken soup too. will ask my mum to brew. heehee. thanks

JJmom, its tough to keep tat a secret esp when u change ur dressing and eating habit.. I always tell myself..if they find out by themselve then its ok..
 
All this talks abt black chicken soup makes me so hungry!! Feeling nausea again le...haiz...

Good thing I havent got any cravings yet. One thing for sure, I realised that those stuffs that I used to really like, now I totally reject lay!! So miserable!...Worst thing is my sense of smell is so strong now, abit of smell I also bth!
 
Carol,
Same here, I totally cannot tahan smell liao ... and recently keep thinking of eating chicken, pork ... hmm, not the usual me.
 
Talking abt letting ur colleagues know, i also dunno how to handle it. I am on MC for quite awhile liao so it is inevitable they ask me wat happened. i keep using stomach flu as an excuse.. sometimes i wonder if we start our motherhood lying... :p

SuMei, are u spotting? u can always talk to ur boss. first people to know abt my preg was my bosses, not my parents.

Here's the recipe for black chicken soup. My mum will deskin the chicken so it isn't so oily. She will add abt 10-15 red dates and longans each and double boil for 2 hrs.

Bear.. spotting has stopped. Informed boss liao. They are nice.. but sometimes alot of student request so no choice have to move around. Im super kiasu..will take extra care..

thank for the recipe. will inform my mum. ok gtg liao. attending a class later.

Bye c u all tmr.
 
Alibaba & Dreamyjo,
Oh, as we are attached in msia and was hiring from msia so i am not sure the cost in Sg. Perhaps we can ask 2ndBABY for more info cause she has a maid too and also i will be hiring the next maid from Sg.

2nd baby,
can u share with us the cost of a maid? Thankies
 
Halo everyone,
I am not new to this forum but have not been logging in for a very long time now.
Just confirmed today that I am 6 weeks preggy - 2nd pregnancy.
feeling excited and not sure how my daugther (22 mth) gonna feel to have a younger sibling....

Poohmum
 
Bear,
regarding jeans, get those maternity ones that with elastic bands. But I realise i have 2 sets of them, 1 set will be for trimester1-2, then another for 2-3. hope this helps.

I think those dried longans used for chinese soups are fine. In fact during confinement that is one of the things we drink.

Poohmum, ur nick looks familar, r u from JUL/06 thread?
 
bear,
guess you just have to minimize climbing. I moved back to my mum place so she can take care of me and its been 7 weeks since I am home having home cook food etc. Am bless in a way. Anyway i take care. Well I read some book they mentioned 1st tri is 12 week while some its 13 weeks I also not very sure.... hehe

bbhuimin & lilian, thanks for the tips at Spring. Will drop by soon.

velvel, are you in the education industry? Me too.
 
morning ladies,
today is the first time i couldnt finish my breakfast. normally breakfast is the best mealtime for me coz i am usually hungry and appetite is good. today i could barely finish half a plate of veg bee hoon. anyway, brot some bread to work just in case later hungry.

i have been waking up early in the morning bout 4plus and can't sleep until bout 6 plus. before i know it, alarm goes off and i gota wakey already.

hey Bear,
i think they suspect but they prob know u might not want to reveal it so soon. i can feel like my boss also suspect something. like yesterday i could only manage to finish half a bowl of my lunch. he was so surprised, coz i am the most petite in the company but can eat e most..

there are also days where i climb stairs alot. there are quite alot of stairs at my workplace and somehow i am always climbing stairs. i just try to take it slow and easy..=>

TGIF!!!
 
Morning all..

haru.. i realised u always got problem sleeping well..hmm.. how to solve this problem leh? maybe can talk to your gynae and seek his advice.

Val, Im in NUS.. but not lecturer.. Im incharge of laboratory work and teaching of instruments..


Yeah.. Friday.. finally.
 
Phew finally T.G.I.F

This week is a tough week, my boss keep targeting at me after I come back frommy MC. I think we have some misunderstanding & I not not those kind of people that will fight for myself. I feel so stress that i have sleepless night. Even dream that I loss my baby because of stress...heeheee

Hope next week is a better week.

Morning Ladies!

Re: Maid

Indo Maid:
Labour Levy is $170. Maid Salary is $280-$300(No off Days)

After my current maid contract is due, tot of changing to filipino maid. Indo maid dun converse well in English.

We need to help our maid pay a lump sum of around $1800 (depending on the loan amt) to the agent first as for the first 6 mths, the maid will have to repay their loan to the agent so employers pay the maid $10 per month for 6 mths.

Val and velvel, me in education industry too.
 
JJmon,

yup..same same.. im sure gonna be super excited if i can see bb waving at us. I still rem the 1st time i saw heartbeat is like twinkle twinkle little stars.

lilian.. for the past 2 weeks i dont have this sleeping problem le. but 1st few weeks yes. I think its that im too stress about the bb.. so maybe u try to relax abit.. and dont think of it b4 u sleep.

Me getting tired everytime i reach home. wanted to crawl into bed immediately.

Hui,
today no spicy food ah.. im into the trend liao.
 
Vincy,
Don't worry, your baby will stay ... be positive plsssss.

Bear, wow, you are so hardworking, still do post grad.

So many mummies in education industry

Hi Carol,
Yeah same here!Everything smells so acute now..feels like i have my dog's super sensitive nose!Tat day smelt cha siew bao,nearly puke..but no choice,nothing to eat so just quickly swallow it inside.

Hi welcome poohmum!

Haru,
Have u tried takin warm milk before u sleep?I also had continuous nites of sleeplessness,so envious when i hear hubby snoring away..so i get up n read til my eyes cannot tahan n then went back to sleep.Sometimes the more you wanna sleep,the more diff it is to get back to sleep.
 
Wah veg mee hoon.. I was thinking abt it the last few days.. so deprived!! Tried frying meehoon.. but cannot make it. haiz..

Vincy, dun stress.. its only work. Try to find a suitable time to let ur boss know u preg, and hopefully he'll not target u again.

Wah if 1st Trimester is 12 weeks, then I'll have another 2 weeks more to end of 1st Trimester! Can't wait for it to be over, so i can have my energy back. I was telling my hubby last night, very sian still got long way to go before deliver, can i deliver tmr and end all these? :p

These few nights, I also cannot sleep very well... Have to take abt an hr or 2 then can dose off.. and when I finally almost dose off, my son started to whine... then got to wake up again.. if not sleep 2 hrs then got to go the the toilet.. then son will sure whine again... haiz.. But luckily he naps in the afternoon, so I can nap as well..
 
Hi Vincy,
Hang in there..dun let the stress get to u,maybe you can try talkin it out with ur boss?

Bear,
Be strong ok?If you are really more comfy with another gynae,go for it..Will keep u in prayers.
 
bear,

u take care and hope ur new gynae is better. let us know how it goes.


vincy,

oh dear... how r u nitemares? Guess u too stress up leh... try to relax abit....weekend begins this evening
happy.gif



hui,

ur whole company knows u preg liao huh? how come? i only told 2 super closed colleagues... my office alot of pregnant women now...

1st trimester :

i think it is about 13 weeks 2 days... coz full term is 40 weeks mah... and if u divide that by 3 trimesters... so each trimester is about 13 weeks 2 days....
 
hihi... i called to register for the seminar on 19th April.. the gynae appt card for free entry is any gynae will do =) anyone else going too??
 
Mrsyeo,
i understand.. like me.. on Wed nite son nvr wake up for nite feed am so happy tot can zzz but in the end i wake up @ 3am to pee.. :x
 
Hi all,
Went for my appt y'day. Doc just use normal ultrasound, dun need v scan cos she say i'm slim enough to see bb. BB was really active and hiding in one corner. Can see the hands and legs moving about. Very very cute. Somemore like waving and saying hi to us. Haha.. But cos bb moves so much can't really pick up the heartbeat sound from the machine. Anyway everything is normal and bb measures 3cm at week 10. Going back for oscar and blood test in 3 weeks time.

Bear,
My colleagues advised me to take bird nest less frequently cos might affect bb's lung development. I've been stopping since and will resume when i'm 4mths or so. Hope ur spotting problem will be better. Take care.
 
PJ,
Ya, I always joked I am back to being a dog liao coz got very sensitive nose.. it was the same when I expected my 1st baby.... what I hate most is the smell of food linegring on my hair!!! Yucks!! can't shake it off and feel like having a hairwash right away!!
 


lala,
