jowin, wah... u ate 3 apples a day! i also eat mixed fruits nowadays but only limit to apple, guava, honeyhew and durians.
for durians, i dare not eat too many also. yesterday i ate only 1 seed. i scare i sick again if i eat too much.
i think it's normal for baby to be 'gentle' on somedays. maybe he/she is tired after so many days of strong kicks.
lousia, nowadays i wear pants/skirts below my belly which is more comfortable. if u wear elastic band bottoms think it should be ok if u wear below ur belly

My fav since preggy!!! Helps me go toilet leh, one a day = one BIG biz a day.
Yesterday had plums, today eating cherries! *Yum!*
BB movements:
I usually dun get kicks. I get the "flip-flops" in adomen area. Importantly is to feel "movements" not kicks lah.
Lousia,
I like my maternity pants! Esp those w cotton material at the stomach area and no rubber. Phyl n I bought a pair of "hipster" pants from Maternity House aft our Marche lunch. I find it super comfy n sexy! *haha* These pants require long tops thou.

Mimi,
I same as u. Dun eat green leafy veg! My fav used to be Sambal Kangkong. Now I take one leaf put inside mouth dare not swallow!
Jowin,
Our bbs are "shu-nu"s... *hehe* I usually feel more activity aft sugared or high energy drinks e.g. after lunch/after annmum. Today is first time I feel lots of movement before lunch (maybe bb hungry
).
First time MTB,
you may feel your first movements in 22 -23rd weeks.

Reading material "When Should I start feeling my baby kick"! My gynae said the same thing when I saw him in Week 19 plus.
Extract: "women generally don't begin to feel the baby move until sometime between 16 and 22 weeks or later, particularly if it's the woman's first pregnancy" [http://www.babycenter.com/404_when-should-i-start-feeling-my-baby-kick_3929.bc]

mimi,
I felt like puking when i see the whole plate of veg in front of me! My dad thinks I am crazy. But I told him I will replace veg with fruits instead.
Btw, my colleague just told me apples have high levels of pesticide residue! Guess it's another reason y not to eat too much apple (esp with skin). *Opps* He told me to get Organic Apples instead.

Just came back fr taka bb fair. Avent and Pigeon having promotion. No NUK bottles. I didn't get anything fr the fair. Will be going again on Monday with hb and sis, as i saw a 4-in-1 bb cot which interest me, and one of the combi strollers too. Instead went to Scotts Isetan and bought a NUK steriliser at a discounted price of $101.80 which includes free gift worth $44.80 consisting of 2 250ml silicone bottles, 2 125ml silicone bottles and 1 deluxe brush. Original price was $204.00. With isetan card will have a further discount.

Re: Priority seat. That lady not paiseh one ah!
A similar 'snatch seat' incident happened to me too. Just yesterday evening on my way home, I was standing on the train platform waiting for the door to open. Beside me is a woman in 30s. When the door opened, she quickly walk to the only vacant seat, which is the priority seat nearer to me & plant her bum there!
She's not old, not handicapped, not carrying a child, and obviously not pregnant, but fat! She really buay pai seh one to occupy the only seat when me, a preggie is just beside her. So I stand in front of her, holding the pole & LOOK at her. No signs of guilt at all & she purposely looked away somemore. In the end an older woman sitting next to her saw it & kindly gave her seat to me. At that moment, I feel like snapping her pic & post in forum for everyone to see.. keke
Snowger,
Re: constipation
Apples work for me too. Just 1 a day. I used to drink prune juice, but I'll get the tummy stirring, gassy feeling. Apples are great.

Fong2,
Me oso same lah.
I forgot where I read - not encouraged to walk too much in 1st n 2nd trim. Suppose to take short breaks aft walking ard for 30mins/1hr. We are however encouraged to move/walk more in 3rd trim (for easy labour - this one my neighbour also swear by).

Hi Jessie,
Now I am at 22 weeks 1 day. Oh yah I remember the scan at 20 wks, the gynae told me the baby has long legs and the length of the legs is 2 weeks forward so hopefully it is the legs that is causing the extra weight keke.
Maybe yours also have long legs?
Tmr I will be going for the detailed scan..maybe I will ask if I need to watch my intake of food if he is still overweight.

Jowin- i went to isetan scotts. Actually i'm not aware of the sale thing at scotts. Went to metro paragon to check if got NUK steriliser. Then checked with 1 of the staff there abt where to get the steriliser. Was adviced to check out Scotts Isetan or Kiddy Palace. So went to scotts isetan and got a pleasant surprise.
Snowger - oh, i thought maybe i put on too much weight.. lol.. Overall, I've put on 5.6Kg since i got pregnant.

Snowger - Thanks. I'll think abt it. Cos still not sure how many bottles i will need. Thinking of breastfeed bb. Btw, i saw isetan scotts also selling NUK glass bottles in a pack of abt 2 or 4 for abt $40+ or $50+. I dun think i'll get the glass bottles, quite heavy. U shld go isetan to take a look.
