re:cramps. sometimes I also felt cramp or something ticklishing me. but can the bb roll now still small leh? tot only can felt in after 6mth.
re:meat. I hate it now.
re:cramp legs. yup, my left side of the legs like 'ma bi'. doc said it is normal. just that maybe place pillow under yr legs and lift them up so that blood will circulate well.
usually, cramp in legs (chou jin) will come in later part of the preggie.

last time, hubby and I are both in civil service so we shared the bb bonus cash gift and child care leave. now my hubby is no longer in civil service liao.
oic. thks for the infor. now, I have a clearer pic of the child care leave policy. will wait for the circulation email to announce the changes loh. what I know now is that the 6 days leave do not need to produce mc blah... but only thing is that dunno does it share with 2 kids or each has its own? if like got 10 children also 6 days....2 children also 6 days...
for me, last yr, I took 3 days of sick leave + 2 days of child care leave (make up 5 days).
re:FBI benefits. hmm cos my frenz had a gynae at TMC but in the end, the ambulance took her to duno which hospital to deliver loh. so like that dunno will it be wasted if sign up the FBI/SBI card.
re: NDP rally new bb bonus. dun think the new scheme will be implement so late one.
<font color="#FF00FF">misscandy</font>
me also not so gd appetitte can only eat a bit in small portion and divided into many small meals.but my mum hor ai-yo, say now got little one liao must eat more. I kept on telling her I got no appetite dun cook so much for me. old folks are like that when one is preggie they will expect one eat for 2.
<font color="#FF00FF">wish a boy</font>
why not ask gynae to give u more mc till end of the week. when gyane only gave me 3 days (till wed), I asked him can give up to a week or not cos I'm still spotting and need a lot of rest. so he even ask me how many days I wanted. of cos, pai seh to ask for more so only take 1 wk loh.
hope u are feeling ok now. I also got spotting if I walk or movement a bit fast. my spotting become very light brown liao.
<font color="#FF00FF">Wintertime</font>
wow, steamboat, u got appetite to eat??
<font color="#FF00FF">Irene</font>
last time, I got my bb stuff (cot, adult bed etc) 3 weeks before my delivery only.
<font color="#FF00FF">Wintertime</font>
for me, I aso latch on for 3.5mth. only get my pump (borrow) when I return to work. now still looking for medela mini plus motor only.
bm is based on supply and demand. the more bb latch on or pump cum stimulate the breast, the brain will tell yr b to produce the letdown reflux. of cos, must eat a lot of fish, red date with longan(during confinement), brown rice water or papaya (I did not eat). relax and rest well. all these will build up yr bm supply. that's the experience to share as I bf for a yr 1 wk liao.
when one is in the hospital, one can borrow the pump fr hospital too. for me, the moment when I delivered after my stitches, the midwife carried my gar to me. then greedy gar just latch on automatically like hungry hippo.

Hi everyone
I am new to motherhood. Just some updates.
Pregnancy: 8 weeks
Estimated due date: 31 March 2009
condition now: Placenta a bit low. On pills to prevent miscarriage
Gynae: S C Chew (mount E, my sis gynae)
Staying: Kovan moving to PIL's place soon. at Paya Lebar
I heard and saw the NDR, wonder the 16 weeks ML is with immediate effect? Does it benefit us?
Actually have an appointment with Joycelyn from TMC on 25 Aug but when i called i have to wait 3 weeks till 25 Aug so in the end i went to my sis gynae. He is quite famous at Mount E. My first consulation was nearly S$250.
Drinking Anmum milk now. Stopped eating fish for a month as the sight and smell just makes me puke.. I used to eat fish porridge, noodle and soup at least twice a week...

afcai,
I suspect now would change to 6 days per child. Means 1 child, all no need MC, 2 child then can take 6 days no mc and 6 days got mc. Yeah... i also told my colleague should be latest Jan 09 implement the maternity leave. Need it now... cos with the leave, can afford to go visit my hb with bb for a longer period.

The SBI card can either send in application form +cheque to apply or apply directly at counter at TMC, near the escalator.
Envy the teachers leh...got sep holiday to look forward to for a week's rest.
oopsgal, is your mum or mil doing confinement for you? my mum got to take care of #1 so she hint to me that she can't do it for me, as for mil, forget it, will never do it. Me headache over confinement lady now, dunno which one to go for, also dunno which one gd.
Re: cord blood banking
I think now cordlife got promo for this month or something, if you sign up with another person together, i think got greater discount. I only save it for my #1, with #2 coming, I don't think so, cuz costly and is a long-term investment.

<font color="#FF00FF">kome</font>
u mean store BM? I also did not store. give either fresh milk or one day behind milk when I delivered daily after work to my mum 's plc.
<font color="#FF00FF">Wish a boy</font>
that 10 days is for emergency use one mah. I also got left over last yr. got to clear this yr. this yr leave have not touch and intending to save it for next yr so that can take 1mth in a shot.
how old is yr gar? mine 20mth this mth.I got MS fr wk 6-wk 8 on and off.but now, no MS not really no but just no action of vomitting. just felt uncomfortable got the feeling of nausea when came to evening time or night time. shd call NS (night sickness). I also wish for a boy too.

<font color="#FF00FF">Guest123</font>
welcome. most mummies (including me) here are also in wk 8. did u consume duphaston? I'm also consuming it cos there ' a gap behind my placenta.
yup, fish got those fishy smell but dun choice got to eat for omega. fish like cod fish and salmon are the best cos they are high in omega. but avoid mackel (batang), sharkfish, swordfish, tuna and some other fishes (forgotten liao) cos they are high in mercury.
<font color="#FF00FF">Jasmine</font>
u mean full set of medela mini dual pump at $80. that's consider cheap. now, I'm only short of the motor only and ppls are offering me $80 for that motor. that's a gd deal then.
<font color="#FF00FF">Asura79</font>
yup, if u go hospital for consultant, hospital will auto help one to calculate the bills after delivery for the medisave claims. cap is only $450 leh.
<font color="#FF00FF">missycandy</font>
I got to tell my mum once I knew my preggie cos she always cook pig organ, cooked a lot or other 'pu' for me. so now, at my first trimster cannot eat so much 'pu'.
wow, $799 for a breast pump very ex leh...we only used for a short period leh unless u want to bf for long. my friend wean off when her son is 23mth only.cos her son very difficult to wean off, luv mummy brand milk so much.

<font color="#FF00FF">fairymoss</font>

dunno how true is this, found it in another mommy forum:
Consider the pros and cons, risks and benefits of storing cord blood,
not just the cost, or which company has 'better service'.
If you choose to store cord blood, then the cord has to be clamped
and cut immediately after birth. This is not a natural third stage.
The amount of blood taken for harvesting is as much as 1/2 to 1/3 of
the baby's total blood volume. This will clearly affect the baby in
many ways - low blood volume, low blood pressure, pooer hematocrits,
lower levels of haemoglobin, poorer iron stores at 3 and 6 months of
life etc.
If you choose to store cord blood, try and find out more about the
uses of cord blood. The stem cells in cord blood can only be used for
some, but not all, blood disorders. And the amount harvested is also
insufficient for adult use. Autologous stem cell transplants using
cord blood may not be appropriate in certain instances since the stem
cells may contain the same genetic material that triggered the
disease/disorder in the first place!
The AAP says: "Parents should be informed that autologous cord blood
would not be used as a stem cell source if the donor developed
leukemia later in life. Parents should recognize that there are no
scientific data to support the claim that autologous cord blood is a
tissue source proven to be of value for regenerative medical
purposes."
The AAP considers private cord blood banking as 'biological
insurance' to be 'unwise'.
It says: "Cord blood donation should be discouraged when cord blood
stored in a bank is to be directed for later personal or family use,
because most conditions that might be helped by cord blood stem cells
already exist in the infant's cord blood (ie, premalignant changes in
stem cells). Physicians should be aware of the unsubstantiated claims
of private cord blood banks made to future parents that promise to
insure infants or family members against serious illnesses in the
future by use of the stem cells contained in cord blood."
FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) said:
"The information mothers currently receive at the time of requesting
consent (for the collection of umbilical cord blood) is that blood in
the placenta is no longer of use to the baby and this `waste blood'
may help to save another person's life. This information is
incomplete and does not permit informed consent. Early clamping of
the umbilical cord following vaginal delivery is likely to deprive the
newborn infant of at least a third of its normal circulating blood
volume, and it will also cause a haemodynamic disturbance. These
factors may result in serious morbidity [illness]."
In short, the likelihood that a child will need his own cord blood is
debatable and controversial at the moment. Unless he has a sibling or
there is family history of such disorders, direct personal cord blood
banking is 'discouraged' (AAP).

guest123, tink its better to see your gynae. I only realised i'm pregnant when i'm 7 weeks coz my mense always irregular. I took few flu tablets before that coz i suffered from bad flu, kind of worried after i know i was pregnant. Just hope everything will be fine..maybe u can call your gynae if panadol is acceptable if u feel feverish?
Hello SG. Helping your hubby is good. at least flexi working hours.
Thanks Irene for your advice.
The last three weeks i lost appetite and ate little. This week better but feeling nausea. Wanted to vomit leh..and my work place at kallang way and food choices very limited..

Guest123,
i had hives (feng mo) when i had my #1 at wk 6.
i went to a GP and trusted the GP that the medicines were safe for pregnancy.
and after i recovered, i told my Gynae what I took and it was then that i found out the medicine were not safe for pregnant women!
i regretted not consulting my Gynae in the first place...
lucky baby is fine.

Guest123, good in the sense can rest if unwell..hee..but i still work from home doing some paperwork + a/cs etc. =)
My hubby's workplace at paya lebar, food choices also very limited. I smell the fish soup mee bought by my colleague can really puke. Can't take those Char Kway Teow, Carrot Cake also..anyway just can't stand the "oily smell" esp. walked past coffeeshop. Maybe u can take small bites/meals like 4-5 times a day? like hotcakes from Mac (whoelmeal bread) in the morning, before lunch take cereal bar like uncle toby's. Prepare some 3-in-1 milo + wheat crackers to curb the giddiness. Tink milo still the best..haha..i tried EnfraGrow Mummy Chocolate flavour, taste very much like hot chocolate frm Coffee Bean. Can't drink alot but at least gt DHA...but dun go and smell the milk powder coz very fishy. =)

Afcai, yah i tink better check with my gynae in my nx appointment on 1st Sep coz my MIL owns a Chinese Medical Hall and she told me shld be able to take redoxon. She even prepare packets of light herbal for drewing chicken. So far i din take them yet coz i heard better dun take herbal stuff 1st. Act. i drank abit of redoxon liao..me really not careful enuff, shld check with my gynae first but sometimes i just listen to old pple coz 1st pregancy everything also blur blur.
Btw, anyone know if we can take chamomile/ peppermint tea? Heard its good for relaxing emotions etc. I read from those "Ang Moh" books abt pregancy. I guess alot of westerners eat lots of food that we Chinese deem unsafe wor. Like i saw smoke salmon salad..yummy! wonder if we can eat that to subsitute for sashimi salmon. haha.

Guess 123,
i was so sick over the weekend for fever, cough and flu. sort of bed ridden for 2 full days.. i only recovered yesterday for it even though now still coughing a little.
Kome & Irene,
Abou the clothes, i can;t really fit into my regular clothes and maternity clothes are too big for me at this stage.. rally feel lousy and no mood to dress up.. really prefer to stay at home. my skin start to have outbreaks of pimples and beocmes coarse and make up is not staying on for long.
SG,
my heartbeat start to race, and last night i woke up in the middle of the night hearing my heart thumping. yep and giddy spells starts kicking in and i find myself grasping for breadth
MTBs,
I don;t know if you gals are experiencing this, i feel tightness and cramps at my womb area. its quite substantial for yesterday and today. i feel it with every step that i walk. everytime i feel fluid flowing out, i was so scared that it will be blood, but so far its clear fluid.
i didn't even dare to walk around much these 2 days.
Fairymoss,
Thanks for the info.. i just don;t know how my boss will react to this as he is currently on leave this week. haiz..

Camomile tea can be drunk to curb nausea and calming effect.

afcai,
I only buy the motor from her as she say she want to keep the parts for own use as she is using PIS mah. So no choice Im looking out for the valves & membranes now. Think $80 for the motor is reasonable, but is it still under warranty?
Talking about fish. When I had my gal that time I can take a lot of fish bee hoon and fish meat. And also vegetable I can take a lot. But this time round I can't take fish also, if I do take can only take Tom Yam with fish, and for vegetable I can't seem to make myself eat it at all sigh, also don't know why??
