Ethan mum,
ya we got same timing for our babies! hehe.. did u plan the gap of ur 2nd one? For me, it is as my 1st would turn 18mths already n can go full day care by the time i give birth.
as for the night feeds, my daughter also! she wakes up at ard 5am for milk.. like an alarm clock. last time was twice, 2am n 5am. if i nv give her more milk to drink, she will wake up more offen.
cherry,
i use trove stretch mark cream from OIO. its a brand from usa with aloe vera extract. i bought 3 tubs as they have discount for 2nd n 3rd tubs if u buy more. 3 tubs enough throughout pregnancy n i did have any stretch marks for my 1st preg. Now i just bought another 3 tubs for my 2nd preg, total cost abt $155. u can try other creams like Palmer but some pple might be sensitive to it and have rashes

hi ladies,
talking about food, from what i know/ heard, cooling stuff should be avoided. soya bean milk from commercial shops/ markets are also cooling as most are not purely made from soya bean... tat plaster thing.. my mum took soya bean milk very often when she was having my elder sister and my elder sister always fall sick after she was born.. so do watch it...
i have heard about taking more cooling stuff nearer to delivery.. else the baby will be very red and have a lot of discharge from the eyes (greenish) and the eyelids will stick together cos of it.. too heaty..
yesterday my colleague said she take bird's nest once a month from 5th month, then twice from 7th month.. last time i know of someone who take one big spoonful (from the very expensive and very concentrated one) EVERYDAY. she was only 4 months pregnant and she looked like 6 months!! think her baby was huge, but heard baby's skin was nice and smooth.. and good lungs.. seldom get cough and cold..
i think i'll start taking bird's nest when appropriate. will check out from TCM doc when i visit her again.

good morning mommies.
bluberi,

neeciel, can i assume if we pregnant a bb ger, is it best that we drink soya milk everyday as it contain female hormone oestrogen??
amk gal, i think u are right. i rem i have a frenz also when pregnant she also drink soya milk almost everyday. now her son seem to fever n flu very easily. i still feel food shld consume moderate not overeat it. i also heard alot of old ppl say after 7mths pregnant we shld start to eat some cooling stuff weekly to avoid bb too heaty and easily for us to deliver.
Happy SAHM, it seem to be ur gynae package and my gynae package is the same. but mine is $880 before gst. package contain 12/13 times, scan, urine & consultantion. medication, vitamin,blood test are all excluded.
Ling, same with u i will start having bird nest ard starting week 10-12 but i will be having those bottle type but better type. some bottle bird nest is 6 bottles per pack but i will buy those per bottle type. they say bird nest more inside. hope as wat amk gal said (heard baby's skin was nice and smooth.. and good lungs.. seldom get cough and cold..)

Cheery, so sorry, got some probs with my internet @home, left it on when I was away, maybe have to reset the IP or something.. as yukiee said only for the maternity package is $550, no limit --you can use it immediately-- some gynae only allow package to be used from certain week onwards, usually after the 1st trimester, but dr Adrian's package you can use it even from your first visit.. it excludes the delivery charges for the gynae, he'll be there when you deliver, the charges will depend if you're having natural delivery or C-sect
Shelisa, yeah better not too often either, just moderately.. you mean the concentrated/premium ones ah..? Saw some of them in Eu Yan Sang the other day.. btw.. any idea how clean are the bird nest sold in bottles..? If traditional way, we still have to soak and clean it from the feathers mah..
yukiee, hahaha.. very excited hor.. on mty 5th week I can only see a tiny water bag.. the doctor zoomed also can't see anything yet.. pointed to a small little dot and said that it's the bb.. I can't wait for next week.. hopefully can see bigger and more.. would u be visiting him anytime soon ? oh, I forgot to check, if the package includes urine & blood test too ?
celia_p, hair removal on arms and leg.. you mean with cream, or shaving gel? um.. not so sure leh.. I just went for lower leg wax a few days ago.. the lady told me it's should be okay, unless it's brazilian, then it may pose some risk concerns.
for stretch mark, they said it's genetic and natural, can't be stopped, but no harm trying lor.. I'm using Clarin's cream (http://sg.clarins.com/main.cfm?prodID=919), got a bottle of the oil too, but dunno how to use, thot it should be used before shower ?
As parents and the elderly said, 1st pregnancy is the one with the most MS, but whoever invented the name must be a guy, because it is not Morning sickness, it's all day sickness.. celia_p dun worry, a few more weeks should be better, my gagging started just after the 5th week too, try to eat something, when you're hungry, the nausea will get worse.. everyday is a revelation, you'll find things that you used to like, but now your tummy can't take.. they said, it shd be better after 12th week, looking forward to that.. *cross-finger*.. yeah.. very hard to wake up and go to work..
Anyone would be going for this events http://www.thomsonmedical.com/events.htm ? I have not registered, but seems like they have a few sessions there, going to give them a call this afternoon..

lovelytulips, how many weeks u go for the oscar test?? i tot Dr Chan supposed to share with me more info on oscar scan during my last visit cos she gave me some brochure to read up, but didnt. I am seeing her at week 11. I cant drink water oso, now i alw drop a few slices of 'pao sheng' into the plain water and drink.
Ling, i read the brochure is from 11-13 weeks day 6 for the scan but i think some mummies are doing it later depending on ur gynae.
Happy SAHM, ya some gynae advised coffee is a no no, but heng my gynae says ok, else i will have to suffer headache everyday.
Shelisa, ya ya i tot so too haha, can drink more soy milk if we expecting gal, now maybe ok lah since what we eat or drink do not pass to baby yet since placenta havent grow =)

Morning ladies,
Seem like alot of mummies here had peaked their MS. Hang it there, 12 weeks coming and everything will be fine
As for stretch mark hor, gynae mention it genetic. All the so call stretch mark cream r just marketing tools. But i still apply tonnes of moisturiser on the tummy, backside n breast

neeciel.. u mean as long as placenta has not grow, anything we eat or drink will not affect the bb ? been trying to abstain from tea these few weeks.. very hard.. I used to have at least 2-3 teh-o a day.. is pokka tea range caffein free ?
BluBeri & Shelisa, just share a few tips on the maternity clothings, if you like skirt, baby-doll dress should be quite suitable too.. I'm going to get a few from metro or robinson, larger size, I checked at Kiddy Palace, those maternity pants are around $59..
Jackie, should apply the cream on breast too ? I only apply tummy & hip area leh.. trying not to think and feel this MS.. but whenever I drink, it went back up.. MS period varies from one to another, true lah, they said about 3 mths.. but I know those who had it all the times, until the bb's born

Ling, i'm not so sure leh i know now wont pass much but there must be a reason why gynae stopping us from drinking tea and coffee. I think tea is more like 'cooling' so not advisable.
I dun drink tea cos i cant take tea even b4 i was pregnant. So i totally avoid it now until probably after 1st trim.

from what i understand, coffee and tea are not advisable due to the caffeine... large amount of caffein consumption increases the risk of miscarriage... Other drinks or food tat contains caffeine also includes colas (coke, pepsi), hot chocolate, chocolate and various of nut... so consume all these in moderation, if cannot do cut it off totally...

Shelisa, from wat i understand baby will start absorbing once the placenta has developed, but i din we still cant take things for granted.
ladies, be careful when you buy fish oil or DHA yourselves, gynae says cannot take DHA that contains high EPA, EPA content should be less than 10% of DHA. i bought mine, DHA 1000mg and EPA 250mg so gynae wants me to stop my DHA.
