u oni gain 3kg! so gd.. I'm in my 20 weeks already gain 6kgs!!

I went for my routine gynae check last evening. Dr Adrian says my placenta is abit low (coz i had heavy spotting this week) Now I can only "eat sleep and watch tv, cannot go shopping" (quote Dr Adrian)

gone is my weekends.

Hope it's (the low placenta) not that bad when I go for my DS tmr.

 

[vernice80]

let's us all hope we won't gain that much and still have a super healthy bb.. maybe we can update each other again after birth

re: low placenta
how low is regarded as low? the last time i went for check up, the doc say the placenta is abt 2.5cm away from 'v' and that is still ok..but she keep telling me not to carry heavy stuffs..wonder if there is any linkage.

 

[minnie24]

venice
I dunno. Maybe I try to ask the sonographer tmr when i go for my DS. Yup, cannot carry heavy things, coz i think the load may "pull" down ur placenta. My gynae told me hopefully it will move up when ur expanding uterus pull it up. Of coz, we have to rest, not to carry heavy things, dun walk too much, or exercise.

 

[teddybaby]

aiyo ladies...me last wk when I was abt 20-21wks I already gain 7kg in total, had a shock cos seems like 1 mth alone gain 3kg. Seems like sudden spurt. Hopefully and regain figure after birth, if not also donnoe how

minnie24: huh so chiam eh, Dr Adrian says can't go shopping? Did he prescribe anymore hormone pills for u since u got heavy spotting?

 

[vernice80]

but they say suitable amt of exercise is good for mummies wor..can help in delivery..then how?

 

[kazooie]

Minnie, hope your placenta will move upwards. Think all us mummies should not carry heavy things from now n just be careful to adjust to our new weight distribution to avoid falling!

 

[dew76]

hi mummies!

congrats afcai on your bb boy

pinksorbet - haha i was referring to the crown, paiseh forgot the word for it liao so refer to as artificial tooth :"P the crown is very strong so tong a bit and after that you can eat everything you want. hee that time my dentist even told me, if bite into too hard things like bones, the bone crack, the crown oso will be ok hee hee. jia you jia you!

sunshinebaby - you must be excited abt your appt tomorrow! hee times flies very fast you can see your dear bb tom and maybe even cfm gender

congrats padi on your bb gal!

re. weight gain - i put on abt 5kg and is now in 20th week. haha was moaning to a colleague the other day and she said normal lah, can gain up to 20kg, oops! but true wat she said, we gain is good coz it means that bb growing well

minnie24 - jia you! try rest more and always keep your legs up k. all the best for your ds tom, everything will be ok!

had a scare this morn and rush to gynae, luckily everything ok. mummies, dun walk abt too much. gynae said i overexerted coz i had ext mtgs yest and was rushing around. must still try to rest more. tink can start walking more only nearer to labour so can hv smooth delivery. meanwhile, rest is still impt to us. still, very happy to see bb's growing well, i'm 20wks plus but bb is 22 wks size and weigh 491 grams

hee it's such a wonderful feeling to know bb growing well. such as a big contrast to the frantic feeling i had dis morn! most impt thing dis next 4/5 mths is to make sure bb grows well

agree with joyce. bb was moving nonstop but i dun feel the movements at all during the scan

 

[minnie24]

teddybaby
yup, was prescribed Duphaston (3x a day) for 2 weeks. Yup, Dr Adrian says "NO SHOPPING, Cannot go shopping, must go home and rest." Specifically told me to go straight home tmr after the DS... Still tot of going shoppingafter my DS

Thanks babe! yah, we shdnt carry heavy stuff since now we have "an Extra weight"

Thanks sung. ur BB is growing very well. My BB is 325g and 16cm at 20week. But Dr Adrian say BB head is BIG, think like his Daddy. My hubby has Big head.

 

[kazooie]

Vernice, exercise is good for us at this stage to build up muscles n energy (to push!). But can only exercise if your gynae gives you the okay.

 

[pinksorbet]

blurjen - tink can lose weight throught breastfeeding after delivery....i'm 20 weeks but gain 3kg compared to yours at 24 weeks gain 5kg...mayb i may oso gain another 2kg when i am at 24 weeks...so may end up same as yours

minnie - i hope yr placenta will move up...mus make sure u cannot carry heavy stuffs and try and not walk about too much...

 

[teddybaby]

minnie24: not to worry, juz rest at home and do online shopping

so many sprees going on in this forum

 

[kazooie]

Minnie, my baby's head is also on the big side, very worried it gets too big to deliver naturally! I don't want a c-sec. Watched one of Mrs BB Wong's class videos which was a bit scary. :[

 

[foocj]

Minnie : rest well and u be ok .. shopping next month after u rest well .. don't worry ..

 

[vernice80]

[fatfish]

Yah, on line spree is interesting too..think it can occupy your time liao.

 

[kome]

[pinksorbet]

vernice - cannot eat curry puff cos i haven't recovered from my sore throat and cough, so better to avoid eating spicy stuffs for the time being

i oso have craving for bubble tea now but dun dare to drink....sigh...do any mummies still drink cold bubble tea when pregnant?

 

[kome]

Pinksorbet
Me....me.....cannot tahan and my bros always called and asked me want or not. Cannot resist it since got someone offer me, luckily my mum occassionally will nag at me to stop taking it so often.

When i had my #1, i drank almost every weeks till 3rd trimester abit scared so cut down a few cups.

 

[pups]

Pinksorbet,
I am one who still drink cold tea when I feel like it I believe in everything in moderation.

 

[dew76]

[vernice80]

[kome]

Sung
I still drink chinese tea, but not my liking so seldom drink also.

Vernice
Sugar cane is quite 'liang' thats why not advisable to drink too much also.

Re: Online Spree

[vernice80]

[minnie24]

[ublur]

Kome, exactly.... i kept looking at my past photos... i was soooooo slim then.. sobz..

padi, ya.. i seriously hope mine is water retention.. and I really hope that i can breastfeed after delivery.. i want to slim down again.. sobz..

so envious of u gals who gain so little... me gain on my butts, thighs , arms and boobs..

 

[jasminenbc]

Kome,
Once you start buying from spree, will not stop de... I used to be like you when I have my gal. Coz so many nice cute stuff to buy can resist really.
vernice,
Your hubby is right, if got baby girl sure will buy coz all so cute mah. Now I have to buy boy stuffs also don't know how to buy, all look similar either top or shorts...

 

[kome]

Wintertime
I did gain quite alot on my butts. My mum just few days ago told me to lay flat when sleeping after delivery. Coz she saw my butt was sooo big.

 

[jasminenbc]

vernice,
I saw the spree you say, actually was thinking whether to buy the boys socks in 2 pairs... cute and short. :>

 

[kome]

Haha.....jasmine
I also dunno how to buy boys clothes. I just look for blue colour and gt cute design. ok, like that.

 

[dew76]

argghh think i just make a cup and drink half. i can't help it, i'm a tea-craze. only like chinese/jap/english tea with my meals and d craving is bad. haha tea has no effect on me, i can drink and sleep straight away. trying to abstain both coz i heard tea is too liang and no good as well as the caffeine...

haha i ordered over $50 plus of bb stuff online from querida, must thank missycandy for pointing out her sprees, cheap and cute stuff. hope got stock! yup bb gals stuff are so cute! mummies with bb gals can shop till crazy!

 

[asura]

vernice,

I dont drink sugarcane since i am pregnant cos sugarcane attracts bacteria easily. Other than that, medically it is safe to drink

 

[jasminenbc]

Wintertime,
Don't worry, if you do breast feed will sure be slimming down for sure. When I BF my gal, I lost about more than 7kg on my weight of b4 Im preggy.

 

[kome]

Oh....no.......think i am the only one who had spent so much online.

 

[ech0]

i love drinking sugar cane drinks le, issit really not good for baby? i dun have any craving for drinks except plain ice water.. maybe sometime coke la..

 

[vernice80]

jasmine,

I was also thinking of that pair of socks too!! heehee but @ $6.90 i also donno worth it or not..bo bian donno mkt price..

ah..wintertime..then u must rest well..whenever i am overseas, i always konk out like 10+ but back in SG i can sleep ard 11/12..weird

 

[pinksorbet]

the other day when KP with my hb i was like exclaiming and looking at the gal stuffs...so sweet lor! then my hb say, "focus! focus!" (ask me to focus looking at our boy stuffs)

i got craving for coffee blended with whipped cream too....

 

[kome]

Vernice and Jasmine
I saw a spree House of socks. 1 box 6 pk of socks so cute, but too expensive for a pair of socks to cost abt $6.50 leh.

 

[vernice80]

Kome,
