[winnie171175]

on lucky day I manage to get a seat during the morning rush. If not, I have to stand from Woodlands to Raffles place. The worst part is only the person sitting in front of you dont alight while the rest of the people in the row alight. So angry but nothing can be done.

 

[mei_lik]

Raven: Don't think need to skip sharkfin soup. Can still eat. Only 1 or 2 small bowl consumed once in a blue moon will be fine.

Mayo can eat also. In hospital also serve mayo sandwich to hospitalised mommies.So i doubt can't eat it.

Agreed with snowy, pregnancy should be enjoyable. Just consume in moderately.

So enjoy.

 

[emeraldbride]

den y ppl say cannot eat sotong? I earlier wanted to eat Old Chang Kee's fried sotong..then my fren say cannot eat

I hv wedding dinner next week too! Intend to whack the shark fin soup too..will not miss it for a thing man..hahah

 

[raven_1313]

meilik - Thanks for the advice!

Just last Fri, I was in the train at Boon Lay waiting for it to leave to station. All seats were taken then. A preggy woman came in (it is very obvious that she is preggy) and not even one person offered to give up their seats (young men and women alike). I gave my seat up to her. My mum was telling me that I should have just commented aloud that I am preggy too, as I gave up my seat. Really shame on these people...

 

[snnowy]

Hee.
I think there is a mum username quite similar to mine. Hers is Snowy(snowymum) and mine is Snnowy, spelt as double n. I think ladies here din notice

Snowy,
Are you a 1st time mummy-to-be?

 

[reddates]

Gals,

I have not been taking trains for donkey years liao, really dunno that ppls nowadays r like tat. I have been driving for many years already. Thankful that I do not have to take public transport and see all the ugly side of human.
We really have to teach our next generation well, but I'm wondering our older generation did taught us to be good , y it become like tat?????

 

[sealy_me]

Agree with u all that nowadays ppl are more inconsiderate. Either they pretend to sleep or they just ignore ur existence.

Another thing i am afraid is young kids. They are always running around and can easily bump into us. So dangerous!!! So better watch out ur surrounding to prevent thiese incidences from happening.

 

[snowymum]

Hi Snnowy,
Yeap I am. The nervous yet excited first time mom.

To make things easier, I will change my name to Snowger instead.

Anyway, I do agree with Snnowy that we need to consume food in moderation. Cos it can be a torture to keep thinking what can or cannot eat... My ah ma used to say that last time when they are poor, got nothing good to eat. so no need to worry what can or cannot eat. *haha*

 

[jowinbaby]

can eat sharkfin ah.. oh yes, then i eat abit this friday wedding dinner.. haha!!

Sianz.. still working in office.. almost collapse liao..

 

[snnowy]

Jowinbaby,
Ha ha. your reaction so funi.

Snowger,
It good to be excited so that baby cen feel his/her pressence wanted.

Ya. Agree with your Ah Mah last time where got so much concern and worries one. Nowaaday, ppl too good life so tend to be choosy. Read in one of the thread that there was a big discussion over bird nest thingy, some say good for baby and complexion while others comment too cooling to take. Faint. When I was pregnant with my gal, craving for orange and people tell me cannot eat, baby will have phlegm and lung problem. So far she only fall sick and visit doc onli once since birth *touch wood* la.

I feel that gynae and science is the most trustworthy source.

Sorry to interrupt…

Any mummies here sick of taking public transports (with no one giving up seats for you!!) and hope that your hubby could rent a car for short term (eg. 6mths to 1 year)?

Cheerio!

 

[tamms]

hmm... i eat everything except pineapples and coconuts, and cut down on processed foods containing preservatives, artificial flavours and sweeteners.

Agree with snnowy, I Think its all about moderation. seriously, 1 bowl of sharksfin containing so few strands can hardly cause much harm, besides its only a few times a year right? Think that as mom to be, we're all a little paranoid sometimes but still, common sense should still prevail. Same for crabs/prawns/squid/oranges and the like.

Morning Ladies!

How's your morning? Waiting for my fried carrot cake to be brought back... Suddenly have craving for it!

Still feeling choked up every evening, no appetite for dinner... Oh when will this end...

 

[dino8863]

Hi Ladies,

I went to see GP 2 days ago. Feeling nausea, burpy after bfast till end of the day. Doctor advice me to eat small meals. Instead of 3 meals, split into 6 meals everyday. if not hungry dun eat. These cause me to be moody at times. Feeling a bit improving now. Do you have such feelings?

This is my 2nd preg. Previous one was much better. Now in my wk9+, hope these symptom will go away fast.

 

[luthadel]

Morning Ladies,

I'm at home on my 2nd day of mc. Still feeling sore around the pelvis region but at least no cramps. So that is a relieve. Just hope the pain will go away soon.

Raven_1313
hang in there, i'm sure it will soon pass once you hit 2nd trimester. For me the bloating has gone down quite a fair bit except for evenings. However, the evening bloating now has a shorter time of recovery. I will feel really bloated right after my dinner but it will go away in 30-45mins, unliked a few weeks ago where it will take hours to subside.

I'm just hoping to make it safely to 2nd trimester since my fibroids (I've mulitple fibroids)will always be a threat for pre-term labour or miscarriage. So I'll have to be extra careful to identify the types of pain that I experienced.

 

[jowinbaby]

Hi ladies
good morning...

Hi dino
Yes, me too...same feeling as u.. still taking 6 small meals a day....HUngry will puke... Burp too hard will have small puke... CHAMZ....!!

Going for dental appt later.. so scare i just puke when dentist cleaning up for me..

 

[dino8863]

Hi Jowinbaby,

Yes exactly, dunno should eat anot at times. Dunno what my body wants. Sigh. My evening and night times is the worst. Got any remedy? When I lie and sleep on my left, i will burp out and feel much better.

 

[snnowy]

Jowinbaby,
Jia you

 

[polaris]

Hi
just had a good rest yesterday and today back to work.

anyone has a brief gauge on the confinement lady rate? i engaged one last year, is abt S$1.8K, think this year will be S$1.9k-S$2K?

 

[jowinbaby]

Hi Dino
I also dun know what remedy.. my gynae said can drink some ginger tea for bloatness but i dislike drinking it..

AFter dinner, if not hungry i try not to eat anything, incase, i bloat even more...

Now, if wanna puke, i just let it puke, dun bear.. sometimes after puking, i might feel much better lor...

Snowy
Thanks...

 

[loveangel]

Hi...
How is everyone? I've been busy lately & didn't log in.

Jowin: I'm home today too. On MC...been having giddy spells.

YL: I have engaged a CL. Her rate is S$1.9K.

Dino: I feel more comfortable sleeping on my left. I also find that when i sleep half-inclined against 2 (or more) pillows, i sleep better. Anything better than being totally flat on my back.

[lavendery]

I see the news report, lack of food in other countries. But here i am wasting food during every meals.....

 

[luthadel]

Hi Shirley
You should feel better once you hit 12wks. I'm currently 12wks5days (according to the scan) and I'm feeling a lot less bloating. Now I only bloat after dinner for about 30mins or so and will be ok thereafter. I can't wait for next wk when I step into my 2nd trimester!

Hi dee,
welcome. Wah, must be handful for you when BB arrives as their age gap is quite near.

 

[mei_lik]

luthadel - Wah...u 12 weeks already ah...so fast neh!

 

[kristalangel]

just got back from my gynae ... wa, so exciting to see the scan even though it's my 4th pregnancy ... I'm 11.1 weeks now .. edd now 3rd Dec ...

so cute can see the baby moving around in the scan ...

my nausea is tapering off ... THANK GOD.

 

[luthadel]

Hi Meilik,
Ya, I'm so glad to be at this stage, been counting down since wk11...ahahaha. Thats why I can't wait for 2nd trimester to start. Now my bloating and other symptoms are lesser now but not completely gone. How far are you now?
