(2008/11) November 2008


I fell aslp during a lecture.. :p heehee. sat at the back some more. so slpy.. Peanut, hang in there..

Jo, no choice, i dun have a place for him in my mum's place. plus my mum hates animals so have to ask somebody to take care lor. but if u count over 21 days, it is abt $20 a day. i dun like pet hotels cos easy to catch bugs and illnesses.

dmk, i m also like u.. a lot of -ve thoughts. but aft talking to the ladies last fri, i have decided that if it is meant to be it is meant to be lor. once u manage to accept that fact, u will stop worrying liao.

Jenn, why is ur dog barking? and when he barks, do u go to him? if u do u are rewarding him. once they are older, they usually settle down. if u wanna train ur dog, u better start now.

Joyce, actually it is the tartar sauce i m interested in. cannot eat the sauce on its own right? :p
 
Hahahaa joyce/bear..
toilet is usually the last resort when i can't tahan.. who would wan to breath in toilet air if given another choice tsk tsk tsk.. Dreamyjo u agree?

it can get real terrible, i can't even hold my head upright sometime..
 
bear, oh it is the tartar sauce ya.. then it must go with something that can dip liao
happy.gif
 
bibi, u sound like me.. think of food only will feel like vomiting but if dun eat also feel very terrible..

bear, it's like a clock to him to bark at early morning le.. we will try to ignore him else he will get used to thinking tat once he bark we will appear.. till mother in law wakes up ard 6am and scold him den play wit him.. mine jack russell so more stubborn.. haizz~
 
Hi Bear,
So poor thing, your corgi. But you are right, I never trust the pet hotel de, heard so many horror stories!! The pet sitter trust-worthy bo??

Hi Jenn,
Is your dog paper train or out-door train? He bark and whine maybe because he wants to go and release himself lay. If he is paper train, put some newspaper in your room so that he can pee / poo without having to inform you. If outdoor train, then you have to re-train him to paper, if not this will persist on. Bear is also right to ignore, but before you do that, first find out the reason for his whining and barking.
 
Hi Jenn and Bibi,
Same here....actually think of food, want to vomit, but dont eat also will vomit. Very terrible!

Hi Jenn,
Puppy is like that de. He sleeping in the room with you or outside?? That could be his wake-up time. Try tiring him out at night by playing and doing some training. THis way, he might be able to sleep later.
 
carol, he is pee tray trained.. hahaz~ his pee tray is within his sleeping area de so shouldn't be e issue.. he is sleeping at the balcony just next to our room.. trying hard to find out what's wrong too.. hahaazz..
 
I wont vomit after food but will vomit when i taking public transport like MRT or bus. So for long journey, i gotta cab. Very exp..

I hope MS will go away soon.
 
Hi jenn,

I see...hmm, then its most likely he wants attention. Balcony is sheltered and the rain wont come in hor?? Cause I know some balcony, the window cannot close and can get quite chilly at night de. Maybe he feel cold lay. How abt shifting him to sleep in the living room / kitchen instead??
 
Hi Bibi,

I know how you feel. Every morning when I take the co. tpt, I fear that I will puke in the bus. So when I alight, sure first thing go to toilet first.
sad.gif


Lets pray hard that our MS will be gone totally soon!!
 
bibi, yup~ first thing when come out from bus is hugging toilet bowl time =/

carol, hmm~ let me try see if it's chilly... most prob he wants attention but at e wrong timing.. if shift to kitchen/living room really have to think abt it le.. thanks anyway =)
 
hi gals! I saw your info on OSCAR, seems like quite different from mine.

I just did my OSCAR test at TMC this morning. it cost $105 and scan for 15mins. That was all. i asked the lady if i need to have any blood test, she said gynae will do it later part.

Do we really have to blood test with OSCAR?

I saw the baby dancing and waving. it was really awesome! 1st time i see baby moving so clearly. The lady doing the scan actually said my baby is really active. Does anyone saw this scan yet?

I think most impt is to measure the baby's neck to determine the possibilty of down sydrome. I got my report straight after the scan and was told mine was negative.

I was so scared that i might need to to do the amiotic test in 5th mth?

what's everyone's experience with this OSCAR TEST?
 
hi ladies. any of u lost weight ever since the pregnancy? I've lost a bit of weight ever since i got pregnant cos i've been throwing up and also not much appetite. Sian sian. Now my best friend is Ovaltine. So every night or everytime i just vomit, i'll take some ovaltine to fill up my stomach.

I've also have some weird food cravings for my 2nd pregnancy. I crave for fries, fried chicken wings, any tomato based pasta, pizzas.

However, I'm forcing myself to drink fresh fruit juice and take a little vege (since I nromally don' tlike vege).

I'll be going for my detailed scan in another 2 weeks. I hope everything will be fine.
 
morning ladies,
as of yesterday, i think i have put on at least 1kg. trying to watch my weight gain, as its only 1st tri and i'm petite so dun wana put on too much weight. but tummy tends to show a lil esp in the evening!guess its all the eating i've done throughout e day. one more week to appt with gynae..

had fried bee hoon for brekkie tis morning..already thinkin what to have for lunch...feel a lil like spagetti...
 
morng ladies

i tink my weight gained is before preggie. til now still maintain ^_^
Haru
Ur meal always appetising de... yummy..
i had a "not nice" swiss roll.. only ate half of it & throw liao... oops.. now eating biscuit & instant cereal...
 
Bibi, u haven seen your bb & his/her heartbeat yet? Then I seriously think u must quickly c a gynae asap so tat u know bb is growing well anot according to his week age
happy.gif


Don't wait for your GP's recommendation liao, don't think it is vy nice of him to delay u from seeing a gynae.
 
OMG...nobody gain any weight huh? I gained abt 3~4 liao leh, at my 12weeks now.

I must really watch what I eat liao but I have to eat my craving food leh if not, I don't feel like eating leh...
 
Milkshake
last checkup almost 3 weeks ago i had lost 2kgs.. also becos no appetite. But dun worry, seems like its quite normal during 1st tri

I had MacDonald sausage macmuffin this morning =)
 
good morning mummies...

Wednesday is finally here. Tomorrow is PH and taking leave on Friday. Looking forward to the long weekend... Yeah....

Saturday will be my appt with gynae. On Monday I will start my 13th week. Can't wait....
 
i lost about 1kg but have a lot of gas. My tummy is very descended especially by end day. I think must go drink ginger tea to get rid of the wind.

I have been thinking of buying maternity clothes but somehow, the pants seems tto big. So I am considering buying the Belly Band which will enable me to continue wearing my current clothes for the next few months. Looking at the ones from mothercare and another version from Mummy exchange at marina sq.
 
hi ladies, ytd went for my 3rd gynea visit. baby is abt 7.9cm... but too bad, cannot see is mickey or minnie.. baby keep moving, gynea also have a hard time scanning him.

was told to cut down on drinkin ribena and milk. says only a glass of milk a day else may put on unnecessary fats...

today will go and cut hair.. as the weather is really damn hot!!!
 
Good Morning mummies!

how is everyone? Long time no post as super busy
sad.gif


I went for my 2nd gynae appt yday at wk 12. EDD is 10 Nov. Gynae scanned and see that my placenta is still low
sad.gif
covering the cervix exit infact... quite cute that gynae showed bb sucking his thumb wor...hahahaa

it is only 12 weeks but gynae was more than 90% sure of the gender. But I think i will wait for 16 weeks check for him to be 100%. Last preg he was able to confirm 100% during my 16 weeks check.

JJmum,

u r not alone, i have put on 2.5kg already!!! and I am only 12weeks!


haru,

less than 1 kg is ok leh.... i read that it is normal to put on 1 to 1.5kg during 1st trimester.
 
haru,

when is ur next visit at Dr KH CHan? he will do the NT scan for u on the spot. Mine was normal so he recommended to do triple test at week 15. I am very afraid of needles....very sian have to draw blood again
sad.gif
hb & i waited for 1.5 hrs yday from 5pm to 6.30pm... so pek chek...
 
Good morning!
I am looking forward to this weekend and go for the scanning.Will be into 11wks by then.Hopefully baby is fine and will wave to me :p

I still maintain my weight.Nt much change yet but tummy showing abit liao.

Lovedogs,
At 12wks,we are able to see the gender? I tout onli can see at wk14 onwards.Last preg,i onli manage to see during the detail scan.Hopefully,tis time round,bb more cooperative and let me see earlier.. hehe
 
happy,

my last preg only at 16 weeks then gynae 100% confirmed. This preg maybe due to positioning, he showed us and said >90% confirmed but next visit he will do a 100% confirmation for me. I think it depends on the machine your gynae is using as well as the positioning of your baby. Honestly, i was very surprised too... just hope it is true
happy.gif
 
lovedogs, but I gained the most here wor, at least 3.5kg
sad.gif
& I m only at 12weeks. Most of the mtb here still maintain their pre-preggie weight, worried liao...
 
Hi mummies, my first post here. My EDD is expected to due on 18 Nov, will be going for NT scan next week, i also find that i will feel giddy when taking train, and the nausea have been giving me problem. This morning i suddenly felt very different, there was some kind of "pain" though not to the extend of unbearable on & off my abodomen and lower part of my body, haiz, hopefully this is sign of baby growing as today should be entering my 11 weeks. I really pray hard that everything will be fine...
 
Chilipadi, I juz bought the belly belt from mothercare yest coz I also find tat I cannot fit vy nicely into those maternity pants yet. It's still loose on my backside & upper legs.

M wearing it today, feel so much beta coz my old pants r really getting tight on me liao.

Din know there is another version at Mummy exchange, shd have go take a look. Any diff btw the 2?
 
Gd morning! I had prawn noodles for breakfast.. now i feel sucky..
sad.gif
my MS like got no pattern one.. last night midnight then i felt pukey. weird...

Re: weight gain
I lost 4kg but i think managed to put on 2kg so still got 2kg more to go to get back to my pre-preg wait.

Lovedogs! wat happens if u have low placenta? any risk?

Happy, me also into my 11th wk.. heh... i feel that my MS is better. i can eat slightly more, esp the food i crave.
 
hi Lovedogs,
Wah can telll gender le, that means my next visit to the gynea, should be able to tell also le!! I am going to TMC for the down syndrome test on coming sat. Will be able to see baby again. Wonder if we need to queue for very long eventhough got appt. Haiz...

This morning is terrible, throw up twice le. Still feeling very nausea! I am in my Wk13 le, ms still not fully over. Think all the vomitting have got to do with my gastric problem.

I have gained abt 2kg, but my co. nurse say I didnt put on weight lay, so it could be the bb. Feeling my stomach getting heavier bigger le.
 
Oh, nearly forgot. I felt my bb's heartbeat at my tummy area last nite when resting on my side
happy.gif
It's vy obvious, like knocking on my tummy a few times
happy.gif


It was the 1st time & so sudden, I was so happy, told my hb but when he tried to listen, all he hear is water sounds...muhahaha
 
welcome jynnsan, e pain most prob is the expansion feeling ba.. i do have e same feeling sometimes too =)

lovedogs, tat's gd.. hmmz~ wonder if by next appt i will be able to know anot.. =P by then will be ard 16 wks le.. so long more to go~
 
Chilipadi,
This version will still have to zip up our old pants right?

I also bought some maternity strap-less bra from 'maternity hse'.

They having promotion for their tummy support belt so I bought 1 too. I m already having a little backache liao so think it will help me a little bah but can only wear from 17weeks onwards unless u r carrying twins.
 
jjmom2008,

not necessary to zip up. the belt actually holds the pants up so don't have to zip up. will try and see if I can pick it up this weekend at maternity exchange and let you know if it works...

i am also having very bad backaches. most of the time want to lie down only. I am hoping to do some prenatal massage from 16 weeks onwards. will check with gynae if can or not. got a contact where she can come over to my place to do it. recommended by some mummies from another forum.
 
JJmom,

if ur weight gain is not healthy for you hor, ur gynae will warn you...dun worry.
happy.gif
have u started to wear maternity wear? I wore my old maternity pants on Monday and someone asked me whether i preg...i quickly denied! dun dare to wear liao...now juz try to wear oversized top and loose bottoms... very sloppy
sad.gif


bear,

if u have low placenta during delivery, it means u defintely cannot go for natural birth, have to be c-section. there is also something called placenta P something...i can't remember leh... coz my last preg, my placenta moved up ard 24weeks so i was ok and went ahead with normal delivery... oh...if u have low placenta, u may have spotting...so my gynae told me if i see any spotting, dun panic.... it is juz because of this.

carol,

i dun go to TMC so dunno abt the q leh... u going for oscar check? my gynae nvr recommend me for that... He juz need NT Scan at his machine and recommend triple test at wk 15...which is juz taking blood.

hope u can see the gender of your baby during ur next visit
happy.gif



jenn,

think week 16 most gynaes can confirm gender liao
happy.gif
my next 16 weeks lagi long ..... another 4 more weeks...
 
Jynnsan, welcome!

Looks like most mummies are looking forward to the gynae appt this week.

Lovedogs, i think u must be really happy cos u already know ur bb's gender... For my last pregnancy, gynae only able to confirm 100% at 20weeks which was the detailed scan. Cause bb keep moving and it was hard to detect. Hopefully this time round can know ard 16 weeks
happy.gif


Carol, i think with appt, won't be waiting for too long. U know i suppose to take the oscar test, but the appt was so FULL that they ask me to go down queue. Worst right? and they said dunno what is the waiting time.. Wat piang!
 
Eh wat's this belly belt? I haven't bought anything for myself.. i think i m quite blur when it comes to things i need to buy! heh.. somehow i wanna wait till aft i see my gynae on the 15th before i do anything.

Lovedogs, sounds scary.. how come placenta can move up? i m a bit confused. hope ur situation will improve!
happy.gif


Any of u have very sensitive nose? I usually have it but since preggie my nose actually hurts!
 
peanut, i had hash brown from macs today. hee hee tot of having macgriddles but then didn't feel like having something sweet suddenly.

It's weird leh..i keep having craving for soft drinks now. I especially love orangina. it's crazy cos i din't used to go crazy for orangina.

lovedogs, regarding low placenta, u don't have to think too much. For my 1st preg, i had low placenta too right up to the 3rd tri but later on it did move up so i could have gone for natural birth. But fate be it that my cervix can't open at all despite my exercising everyday ever since i was preg...hahahahaa So still had to go for c-section.

For low placenta, doc normally will tell u to don't over exert yourself and to be more dainty when u walk. try not to run. And u can buy a maternity belt to support your bump as it gets bigger in future. Not sure if it helps lah...but it did make me feel better esp when i was doing my treadmill.
 
btw , u gals still got apply nails polish? still go mani & padi?
yday i went city hall to buy flats.. hehe.. so was wondering can i still apply nail polish. cos at times my toes nail really look so ugly to wear those open toes sandals.
 
alibaba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of cos got go for pedi lah......U should go for mani pedi pamper yourself and make yourself look pretty then u feel better with a bump.
happy.gif
 
hi all im from dec thread and my EDD pushes till 25 Nov so im here, can i join? hehe

I just saw my gynea(doc adrian woodworth) yday said i was 9weeks 6days and he intro me to do a Nuchal Translucency (down's syndrome risk assessment) test. anyone have this test before? So worried and hope my baby is fine.
