Hi Mums, been missing in action for a bit...
xpink_xuan, I think I would have screamed at the aunties or exclaimed loudly for all to hear (wayang abit!) How come your hubby didn't shout at them? I'm also very careful when i'm outside now esp when I see kids running around or big groups of teens...I'm sure all of us will be very protective of our little one now.
About stretchmark, Mum had it so think I can't escape. I bought my cream from Mothercare though the fragrance not very nice - I haven't been diligent in applying it anyway. Also my gynae did warn me abt Palmers, that some mummies only develop the rash after 2 weeks or so. So those using Palmers, hope you will not experience any rashes in any case.
I am in my 16th week now / 4 mths...any of you see red spots around your tummy area? I have some red ones dotting around and it's all flat...very weird....
I still have constipation from time to time, whole system feel so jammed...started taking fybrogel but once a day and then try to poop naturally. Downside of fybrogel is it causes inflatuence so will burp even more to get all the extra air out.
At this stage cos baby is growing my whole body feels very tight, as though cannot stretch anymore. Esp tummy and chest areas, find it tougher to breathe now too, esp breathing for 2. And worst that nose seems blocked though I am not down w flu. According to books, it is normal cos more blood vessels at the nose now. Sigh, have to remind myself to take more deep breaths and expand chest area.
People say 2nd trimester is honeymoon period...though MS has subsided and some energy is back...I still don't feel so good...
My next gynae check is at mth end so maybe will be able to determine gender...though hub and I kinda have inkling might be a boy...
