yeah... very expensive.... i also read alot about using oil which is more effective. Olive oil is one of it which is cheaper but dont know if people used it for stretch marks.
 


i never heard olive oil works for stretchmarks leh..tot tats for hair?
but oil hor, apply liao stain the clothes leh, coz take time to absorb in isnt it?
 
hi ladies, i didnt come in for along time at work.. i have been busy at work.. and got a bad news.. I was admited to hospital on thursday...

I was feeling some crampy feeling in the afternoon when i went for lunch.. but didnt pay much attention coz i felt it might be just that my womb is expanding for baby growth. Just before i went home, i went to the toilet and i saw some blood.. thought it might be just some slight spotting so i tot i go home and monitor first... When i was on the bus, it was quite pack so i didnt get a seat.. i was standing and i felt more and more discomfort.. then i felt that i seems to be bleeding.. like mense flow.. when the bus was near my mum's place i got a seat and i found that my pants was slightly wet with blood.. i panic.. i called my gynea and told him what happen and he ask to go to the hospital and prepare to be warded..

My gynea has instructed the hospital nurses to give me an injection to stablise the baby.. stayed one night at mount E and i am not suppose to get out of bed...

first thing in the morning, my gynea send his nurse to pick me frm the ward to his clinic.. he did and ultra sound for my little love and baby is fine.. now i am suppose rest and stay at home for a week plus.. back to work only on the 21 July.. I did the NT scan and bb is fine... i visit him again yesterday as he wan to give me another jab for stablising baby just to be doubly sure..

Now will stay at home be a good gal and rest.. and pray hard that my bb will be fine..

talking abt stretch mark cream, i bought the carins oil too... but hv not start using..

i also read magazine saw very good review on the decleor strech mark cream... but not sure where to get it... anyway i think it is abit too ex..
 
hi NI, i was at my 12 weeks when i was bleeding.. ya fresh blood.. very scary.. i freak out.. but got to stay clam and called the gynea told him wat happen... then listen to his instruction.. think my family and husband freak out also...

anyone taking mamil mama, or frisomum? i've taken enfamama for 1st 2 pregnancies as they were the most pleasant tasting for me.
 
meiqi - glad that everything is ok liao. better to rest ALOT ALOT and not move ard too much.

everytime comes to weekend i am super tired sia. keep wanting to laze in bed only. don't even want to go out to find food. aiyoh.. i think like that very unhealthy leh. do you ladies also experience the same thing? i really find plucking ennergy even to go downstairs a challenge leh.

<font color="0000ff">Hello everyone, hope all of you are happy and well.

An update from me, all is fine. Went for my 2nd gynae visit at 10 weeks (abt two weeks back) and bb is growing well, can see his arms and legs and even fingers. I was trying to figure out what it was that I'm looking at and suddenly BB started moving his arms about to show me, haha. Next apptment is at 14 weeks, will do amnio at about 17 or 18 weeks.

My EDD is actually 28 Feb (calculate from LMP) but 1st ultrasound give reading of 26 Feb and at 10 weeks ultrasound reading was 23 Feb. Gynae said we will stick to 28 Feb (as long as within 7 to 10 days, it's all right) and it just means that bb is growing well, which is good.

Managed to see the NT (altho not the actual NT test) and NT looks good. Also, gynae said that Downs bb will be smaller than average, so since my bb is growing well, then it is good.

Nausea is improving but still have lots of symptoms especially heartburn.

I still have not told anyone about my pregnancy, not even my parents, altho one of my Mahjong kakis guessed it cos I don't play late night mahjong anymore. Still don't look pregnant, so I guess I'll keep quiet for a while more.

Altho I'm only at 12 weeks now, I feel like I've been preggie for a LONG time, cos I found out at 3.5 weeks and especially because all the nausea and fatigue and heartburn and all the symptoms really make the experience seem quite dragged out, hahaha, so it's really a bit surprising to me sometimes that I don't even look preggie. But it's all worth it when I get to see the ultrasound images!</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">janjan16 - oh I'm exactly like you! Since I found out I was preggie, I have stayed in the house every single weekend. Will ask my hubby to buy food for me. It has been so long since I went shopping or anything like that. I also feel sometimes that it's not so good, really admire those mummies who can carry on life as usual. But at least BB is growing well, bigger than average even, so I'm quite happy to continue my "homestay" for a while.

pinkir, u r at ur 12 weeks now, howcome the EDD is FEB? typo error right"? should be Jan right? becoz i m also in my 12 wks today, EDD is 24/1
 
meiqi: pls take care and dun move too much. just stay in bed and get more rest. take care ok?

pinkie: me also like you. feel that i've been preggie for a very long time cos also found out preggie at 4 weeks therefore now is 12 weeks so i feel like very long like that.

ValC: i also never constantly take my vitamins. initially very "on" always take then realise that the hormone tablets make me puke and MS become worse so i now sometimes take sometimes dont take. and i hate the smell of the pre-natal vitamins. makes me wanna vomit!

been feeling crampy for the whole weekend till this morning. guess have to reduce walking cos i tend to forget i preg and walk fast fast. even run aft the bus.
 
Samval (samval)thanx for the info. Will look out on those Mazg.

Meiqi (meiqi09) Drink more water and take more rest.Thanx god that everything now is fine with you.

Did anyone have the problem that at your body slighty below the bum there is a pain on it... after my few week pegnanat i start to have this problem.Whenever i m laying down the bed, and turn my body to a side or about to wake up,i can feel the pain lioa.
 
good morning mummies...

my coll told me, the news broadcast that they might be coming up with 1 yr paid maternity leave (80%)... not bad huh.. dunno with effect from when leh.. hope it will affect us...

and hiring of maid will become more exp! i was thinking of hiring maid to take care of bb next time...
 
cjteng, ya i will rest more.. dun dare to move much aroudn the house.. my mum take good care of me.. so i just hv to rest, eat and slp..

NI, one year paid maternity? wow!!! hope we will get the benefits.. heehee.. maybe we will hear on this year national day rally.. they normally announce then...

huh hiring maid more ex... i also need to hire maid.. coz my sister is due in aug.. and me in jan my mum cant cope with 2 infant.. so got to get maid to help her.. hope it doesnt increase too much..
 
one year paid maternity leave? how it works huh?
nowadays employ maid very ex leh...stupid govt...ask ppl to give birth yet never help...always like tat, only know how to say. increase erp etc, everything increase
 
wat my colls were saying is....

(1) hiring maid now, u have to fork out 8 months pay (abt $3k) first, its for paying their airtix and all expenses for coming to SG. den every month, u need not pay the maid pay.. New Policy: have to pay 8 mths pay for their coming to SG, and its not refundable, meaning still got to pay the maid salary on top of that. (tats why my colls say hire the maid quickly b4 the policy is implemented)

(2) sat's paper did a few pages article about baby i think. They are trying to follow Sweden's birth policy. Sweden has 1 yr paid maternity and 3 mths paid paternity leave... I also hope GOVT implement the 1 yr maternity during national day rally...
 
wow 1 year paid maternity leave! that's good news. hopefully they will implement it asap. if approve dunno we can get it or not or maybe they willsay effective 2010...
 
hi ange, giggler, i also dunno when the new policy will take place... nv say. i also planning to hire maid... muz act quick b4 the new policy
 
ange: ocassionally me no appetite to eat. dunno why. that day i put on weight abt 1kg. weigh myself over the weekend and lost 0.5kg.
 
giggler: dunno leh i think so...not sure. cos read the New Paper yesterday. are we referring to the agency fee that one ah?

by tmc club, do u mean the first/subsequent born incentive? my subsequent born membership still valid so i was able to get a 10% discount. but i think for my first child i did get the first born card to enjoy 10% for the first scan. where is your dr's clinic? between tmc and mt a i think they are both qt comaparable. heard good reviews from both. my experience at tmc was pleasant. but tmc got those chinese soups for lactacting mums though, not sure abt mt a.
