Mimi, my ex-colleague told me b4 that she request the young guy sitting in front of her to give up his seat to her.. haha
She said she's not feeling well and wanna faint already (which is true), then the guy so pai seh, quickly stand up and offer his seat..
Maybe we can start to tekan people on the MRT using that method.. haha

Yes this is my first and we are having a boy
I think each of us are very different like for me my bloating eased off at 15wks but for Jowinbaby, she is still having it.
Today felt a lot of rumbles in my tummy, must be due to the expansion of my uterus yestday and today little Bryan got more room to do his arcobatics!! hahahahah
Yeah!!! Saturday will be our meet up, so exciting !

mum2ndx, usually it is a practise to either talk or meet the CL . You can clarify some things with her - e.g. cost,her experience, the scope of her work, etc.(will she cook for your hubby? simple housework like wipe floor/wash the clothes,etc?) If you are a first time MTB, she might also want to tell you what are some things/equipments (e.g. baby bath tub) that she needs to make her work easier.
You can then access if she is worth e $$$. Can ask her casually if she is doing confinement now. She might have taken the opportunity to meet you while the bb n mother is resting lor (so may not be so bad la).
If you confirm her, she will usually collect a deposit of abt $500 frm u to seal e deal! Anything less is also ok. If you worried, can try to look ard this forum, there are some blacklisted CLs.

Re getting seats on the train:
I hv been pretty lucky in that some pple do offer their seats to me (but my train stop is like the next one), so I smile n say "No thanks".
Wonder if these tips will help:
1. When get into train, stand near the seats;
2. Look around for seats and especially at able-bodied men who are not sleeping;
3. If possible, when they look ard you give eye contact (not to *dian* them);
4. During eye contact, transmit the "I need the seat" message or give the body language of "I really really need a seat now"; and
5. Stand in the train like a pregnant woman (erm, legs slightly apart. hands sayanging your tummy)! Best if your clothes are tight enough to show u have a little bluge.

Get well soon Samantha.

I went to see Dr Tan (TCM) after I conceived, was around 6-7 weeks at that time, he advised to start taking birds nest and make the black chicken essence from 2nd trimester onwards...
Actually, he didnt advised that himself, he said to know what tonics to "bu" during pregnancy, ask his wife....so she explained to me what to take....
you can call his wife and check with her...i think no need to go and see him one....

mum2ndx, I agree if got someone u use before, lagi best! But at least u know what to expect from this one.
Most msian confinement lady wan to get deposit in cash (they dun hv bank ac in S'pore). Rem to take down her name n passport no (choi! choi! la). Baby usually very lucky one, should be ok.
For chinese soup:
My mum went to Eu Yan Sang. Sometimes the aunties who help u get the herb can advise u too! (like they will tell u if certain herbs too bu for yr stage of pregnancy). If you gals want, I will get the ingredients from my mum...

This belief is based on the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men and, therefore, have a slightly higher pulse rate.
Actually, there is no correlation between fetal heart rate and gender -- and it has been studied. This is an "old wive's tale" that will not die.
haha!! MYTH!!
** gynae said my bb heartbeat at 165bpm.. haha!!!

if right hand pulse is stronger than left hand, then it will be girl
if left hand pulse is stronger or the same as right hand, then is a boy.
the guess base on the above for me is girl. Usually, my pulse is quite weak for both hand. but now right is stronger.
Can try it out.

Other than boiling your own tonic soup, is anyone seeing a TCM doctor? After my first tri, I went back to my regular TCM to get herbs for 'bu'. I don't have any illness now but feel a bit tired and get cold easily in air-con environment, so thought it would be good to build up my qi before giving birth.
My TCM doctor is at the Eu Yan Sang clinic at Tiong Bahru Plaza. My last visit with her was at 15 weeks, but she couldn't tell from my pulse whether I'm having a girl or boy. I will be having my detailed scan before my next visit with her, so I will see whether her diagnosis is accurate or not! heehee

Carmen - just dreaming if i'm rich enough, i will just stay at home and rest... and take care of baby myself when born. but i don't think possible eh... have to work till i'm old.
Snowger - i see, i wonder whether anyone same class as me eh...
blurfairy - i have no idea about strollers, also keen to know whether buy lowest price should be ok or must really spend more to get something lightweight and strong.
Louisa - how about checking if your husband can't make it, can you bring someone else to attend with you? i think KKH allows MIL to attend if husband can't amke it.
Phylicia - do we really need milk bags? sorry i have no idea and experience. does it depend on whether how much milk can be produced vs how much baby can take in? i was thinking just breastfeed the baby until 3-4 days before i start work; then i don't need to buy anything to help in expressing or storing milk.
=======
yest when i was in crowded bus to go for my evening lesson, someone gave up seat for me. which made me happy, but also wondering whether my tummy really that obvious at week 15.

<font color="aa00aa">Gender Prediction</font>
<font color="aa00aa">Myth:</font> According to folklore, you can deduce your baby's gender without medical tests. Here's how:
If you carry low, it's a boy; high, it's a girl.
If you carry in front, it's a boy; if you're wide at the middle, it's a girl.
Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring circles, it's girl; if it swings back and forth, it's a boy.
Is Baby's heart beat faster than 140 beats per minute (bpm)? It's a girl. Less than 130 bpm? It's a boy.
If morning sickness lingers all day, it's a girl.
<font color="aa00aa">Reality</font>: The only sure-fire way to tell the gender of your unborn child is through ultrasound or amniocentesis.

snowger, previously one of the mummy introduced her CL to me, she wanted to meet up as well and wanna collect $300 fr me. Later, before we managed to meet up, i found another CL, hence told her I cant meet up, guess what? She hang up on me. So damn rude.
I am glad i decided on the one recommended by my neighbour, she din even collected deposit fr me.
Anyway, i hv another CL to recommend - my facial therapist's mom. If u need her contact, let me know lar.

all of us here are guessing our baby's gender.

2nd baby, u sleep so many hrs. on weekdays i slp only abt 8hrs. weekends also abt the same, maybe 8-9hrs. when can we be energetic like before?
