[irene06]

if the calendar is accurate, it show i'm having a boy.

 

[jasminenbc]

Lenny,
Have tried out. My gender for BB is a boy. Lets see hoe true is it.

 

[irene06]

i tried the calendar using my two previous girls conception date. it's turn out accurate for them.

 

[afcai]

♥♀steph♥♂,
same thinking as my hubby who told me that I can be a SAHM when he strike toto.


Irene,
same same, I also hoping for a boy since I got a gar.

 

[lenny_susanty]

Irene & Jasmine,
if its accurate, mine is supposed to be a baby girl.. lets see..

 

[kome]

Hope its accurate. Mine should be a girl. I use it to calculate for my son and its true.

 

[asura]

Based on the chart,

Mine should be a gal... We ok with boy or gal... but i prefer 1st one to be a boy... shall see how..

ultimately i still want at least a gal... so not much diff just sequence difference.. haha

 

[lizy]

According to the chart, it says I'll be having a girl. Hee...

 

[lenny_susanty]

kome... u give me hope... my another gf told me its not accurate for her.

i hope for a girl first then a boy,cos i think the girl will help me look after her younger brother.

 

[minnie24]

According to the chart, I'm having a gal. For #1, either gender it's ok for us. But I keep refering BB as "he", so I guess I want a boy. Just for the fun of it, will oni know after week 12. =p

 

[emmum]

pammie,
i think u hv the best situation, financial independence plus can spend time with your child. having to depend on hsbd for $ is such a terrible feeling, also giving up career and watching my frens doing so well.

 

[emmum]

if week 12 n u can't tell whether it's boy or gal, then it's likely to b a girl coz girl bbs r usually more more shy!

 

[lenny_susanty]

Pammie... urs side have vacancy? i wish to be like you too.. flexi hours. kekekeke

 

[sunflowerseed]

sharon - sometimes when project work picks up im on the phone all the time and I have night conferences sometimes everyday so I can't go out as I have to rush back to make the calls. Now happens to be in a lull period so tahts' why v little to do... works well for me!!

 

[sunflowerseed]

btw, im having plain porridge with marmite. that's all I can take right now.. i wish I have salted egg but i didnt buy so guess this will be my staple for the next few days.

 

[torayme]

Lenny,
you are doing Bellydancing too? can we still belly dance in our 1st trimester?

 

[emmum]

pammie,
hmmm... yur job is the same as wat i used to do, late night conference calls n nights r burned! can break a egg into the porridge so u get some proteins?

 

[sunflowerseed]

sharon - break an egg means egg is raw? then I'd rather forgo it... I supp i can take a fried egg but it's ok la.. i feel better now. can't believe it, I had a really small bowl of porridge, half the amt and yet can't finsh! good time to lose some wt!

 

[irene06]

back from lunch. feeling sleepy now.

 

[asura]

Pammie,

How abt putting some chicken or fish slices into the porridge? Then stir an egg so that it would be fully cooked? Need protein for bb to grow

 

[sunflowerseed]

asura... i feel so full now even without the chickcn n fish.. last nite i also ate porr + fried fish. tat was it..i'm sure things will change v soon as Im always a big eater.. munching non stop kind.

 

[foocj]

Me feeling lousy , nausea and MS ... me only 7 weeks another 5 more weeks to cross first trimester ..

 

[lenny_susanty]

torayme,

i have been bellydancing for 3 yrs before i got pregnant. i am not sure if we can do it at this moment unless u are confident of sucking in your third belly muscle throughout your dancing session. the standard camel is good but not the reverse undulation.

i was told in class that any upward movements like upward figure of 8 is ok but not hip drops and downward figure of eight.

my teacher continued teaching us till she is in her 3rd trimester. for her, she went thru the prenatal moon dance course with qualified personnel. if you are keen to do this, let me know cos i can ask my school if they can cater for moon dance. Its suppose to help us during labour and strengthen our backs.

How long have you been bellydancing? i took it up to regulate my menses and stop my cramps cos i didn't want to rely on hormone pills. i went from an XS to an XL after 6 mths taking hormone pills back in 1997 and i never got back to my smaller size

 

[sunflowerseed]

Wish a boy

My MS and nausea comes from smelling any form of cooking!! If there's no smell of cooking, im fine. Just now my maid made her lunch n she's done eating it and dishes all washed, it's been half hour, but Im still nauseated!! and I can pick up the horrible garlic ,fried onion smell even when they have gone to her stomach! how ah like tat??

 

[jasminenbc]

Over the weekend, I cook Penang Asam Laksa... Hehe... craving for that and its my favour. I took that for lunch and dinner that day. Yummy... Now my appetite getting better, just took chicken katsu don for lunch but didn't finish the rice, will be too full for me. So stop at moderate.

 

[pink_piglet]

hi everyone...just wondering , some far i do experience most of the pregnancy sypmtoms but i dont have any vomit. so does its meant that my pregnancy hormones are weak?

 

[kazooie]

Pink Piglet
No vomit? Me too.

I just visited my gynae. Everything's on schedule, 11w2d, fetus measuring 46.1mm. Am very happy and relieved. I asked the gynae if not having any rough symptoms like MS is bad, she said I am probably just one of the lucky ones as the bb is doing fine! My appetite has been relatively good too and I still eat 3 normal meals per day. Still just 1kg weight gain so far. She also did a bum shot of the bb and looks likely my prediction is wrong.... it's most likely going to be a baby GIRL!!!!

 

[lenny_susanty]

pink piglet..
it just dawned on me this morning as well when i felt better cos i didn't vomit. i am concerned as well

 

[lenny_susanty]

babe,

u mean can see at 11 weeks already? my appointment is at week 10.. i wonder if i can see by then.. kinda anxious though

 

[emmum]

pammie,
not raw, stir the egg in when porridge is cooking, so it will b cooked through.

 

[irene06]

11 weeks can see le?
that's fast.

 

[emmum]

jasmine,
wow, u can cook laksa? can share the recipe?

pink piglet,
i also feel nauseaus but no vomiting, dun worry, it's normal. in fact, for my first preg, i dun even hv nausea, perfect pregnancy!

 

[kazooie]

Lenny

Yea, it's not confirmed but gynae said some bb boy by 11weeks + can see the birdie! We didn't see one today. I've heard some MTBs' gynae can predict at week 9! My bb opened its legs nice and wide today. Saw its fingers, too!

 

[emmum]

babe,
haha, your gal not shy!

 

[kazooie]

Haha guess not! but she knew we were looking at her. She did a little wave at us to say she's fine!

 

[irene06]

so nice to see the baby. I have not seen mine yet. next monday then got chance.

 

[lenny_susanty]

wow... i don;t think i can postpone to wk 11 cos hubby going to reservist right after he is back from Korea. so got to stick with my appointment in the 10th week. wonder what i can see when its 10 wks old.

 

[kome]

babe
So cute. Hope i can see the gender too by 2 weeks time which i am in early wk 11.

 

[kazooie]

Lenny
Gender not so important, right? You'll find out soon enough. More important is to know that bb is growing and doing well. Just go and see your bb at 10 weeks. You'll still get a great view.

 

[kazooie]

Irene/ Kome
Yea, that was how I felt for the past 3 weeks, wondering endlessly and can't wait to see the little thing again. Now, gotta wait for another 4 weeks to see her again....

 

[emmum]

babe,
ooooo... tat's so cute!

lenny,
week 10 can c hands n feet already! yur hsbd's in korea now? so hot here in seoul!

 

[lizy]

Lenny, at 10 wks you should be able to see bb's little limbs already. I saw my BB moving and waving when I did the scan last Friday.

My next check up will be another 5 weeks time. *Sigh* have to wait so long before I can see BB again..

 

[irene06]

i worry no heartbeat, cos it happened once last yr.

 

[emmum]

irene,
dun worry, must b positive!

 

[kome]

Irene
What past already past. Don't worry too much. You in how many wks already?

 

[kazooie]

Irene
You can think about it (as we all do) but don't stress yourself about it as that won't help. Just hope that everything turns out for the best. I usually talk to my hubby or my mum about it when I start to worry. They will say I'm being silly.

 

[irene06]

should be 7, cos 2 weeks ago, thru tummy scan, din see bb yet. only waterbag and yolk.
gynae estimate 5 weeks.

 

[kome]

Irene
Yes, can only see the sac at wk5. Next monday you will be able to hear bb heartbeat already. Stay happy and positive.

 

[irene06]

thanks ladies.
i'm munching biscuit right now with a cup of hot milo.

 

[lenny_susanty]

hi Irene,

Stay positive.. i just stepped into my 7th week now.
