Lenny, i experienced the tightness and cramps these few nites too. Also feel the "warm" fluid everytime i woke up from bed to go pee. Very worried too...like very paranoid, also scared its blood. Scary rite? As for the breathless and fast heartbeat, i realised i can't go to crowded areas. Condition worsen everytime i see crowds and noise. Wonder it it my own health problem...got 1 occasion i took train and i almost fainted coz it was too crowded with lots of weird smells and noise. =( heng i held on tight onto the handrail and i managed to struggle out of the train to take a seat. Feel like asking someone to give up seat to me but i dare nt open my mouth. haha..so useless.

kome is even more informative. hahaha..i didn't hear the news but Mum saw it on TV during lunch and told me. oh...so it's true afterall as "predicted" by someone in this thread.
guest123, better to see gynae for small ailments also. when i had fever, my gynae quickly gave me 3days MC and he said need to scan and check to see if bb got affected by the temperature or not. i think to play safe, better see gynae, cuz GP may have limited knowledge on what's safe medicine for preggies.

Fainting in the train is due to insufficient air. I experienced twice before. I blackout in the train twice. Once from braddell to city hall. Another was till dhoby ghaut. both i held the handrail tightly. When i reached my destination DG, my vision was still not back and i had to ask a lady to bring me out. She was so nice. She walked up to the control station to get the staff to check on me. I didnt even see her face clearly or remember her. So grateful to her.
Bliss
Ya, my sis told me about the 4D stuff.

MTBs,
As for the thigh cramps, i read that its ok. this is extracted from
http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/Pregnancy/calendar/week/8
Many pregnant women also experience an occasional pain that begins in their buttocks and radiates down their back or legs. This is known as sciatic nerve pain and can be extremely painful at times. More than likely the pain is caused by the pressure on the nerve and it is best to lie on the opposite side to relieve the pressure.

CDA is Children Development Co-Savings (Baby Bonus) Scheme. Government contributions in the form of a dollar-for-dollar matching for the amount of savings you contribute to your child’s Children Development Account (CDA).
The CDA is a special savings account that you open at any OCBC Bank or Standard Chartered Bank branch for your child who is eligible for CDA. You can save in the CDA any time until 31 December in the year the child turns 6 years of age.

Kome,
Need to add on the tax related benefits:
- 1st child 15%
- 2nd child 20%
- 3rd child onwards 25%
- cap at 100% of mom's pay
- QCR increase from $2000 per child to $4000 per child.
Tax rebate for 1st child = $5000
Tax rebates for 2nd child, 3rd child onwards, etc remains as $10,000 and $20,000 respectively...
That's really quite a lot of money!

afcai,
I hope for a girl so i can bring her for bellydancing classes with me.. i hope to get her started early so it will build her back muscles since young. it will help her strengthen her womb, regulate her menses and prevent or stop menstruation cramps.
I had very bad mens cramps back in 1997 and was on hormone pill.. i was an XS then and cause of hormone pill, i become XL and never been able to go down after i stop taking them for 6mths. i decided to discontinue and bear with the pain till i stared bellydacning 3 yrs ago, since then i only feel sore not pain until half body numb, feel nothing and cannot walk.
I don;t want my girl to suffer the same fate as me, so.. that's why. but then.. i hope she likes it cos i fell in love with this dance. if not, i also won;t force her.
If boy, i will sign up aikido class with him, or maybe Tae kwon-do, so i can spend quality time with my boy. i used to learn Tae Kwon-do in my school days as well.. kekeke
