sweethalo, i'm glad for you that your pipes are in order. No plumber can fix mine for me. =(
Tubbym~, you got it.. No screenshots from our FA scan. She took us thru the images she saved and we didn't see anything we wanted. Ermm... should we have grabbed some? Not much use for them leh..
bbjun, yippee! Glad you finally have some positive experiences! It's really horrid when you get whiffs of strong smells on a train. The other day a lady 2 seats away from me took out her medicated oil and started to apply it. EEeewww... Boy, was I glad I was alighted in 2 more stations. Hope the NS line passengers will be more gracious & less foul-smelling in the coming weeks as you keep growing.
Re: Bus/Train seats
Travelling from West to Central to West on the train, occasionally further down East to Kembangan, I only meet fake snoozers and bump ignorers about 15% of the time. Other than that, I've always been offered seats so I'm really thankful to be blessed in that respect. Maybe like I said before, given that I'm tall and large, it's quite hard to ignore.
I'm only 2 bus stops to the train station/interchange. Thus far, no one gives up seats - cos usually so crowded in the mornings that I end up standing near the doors anyway. Other than that, usually I'll squeeze into an empty seat - if people occupy >1 seat by sitting sideways, I'll just look at them and say EXCUSE ME so they sit properly and confine themselves to their own single seat.

HUMPH! There was a time I was one of the last to get into a crowded train lift. This mainland Chinese lady squeezed herself in behind me, completely shoving my bump into the bag of the woman in front of me. I was really rather upset.
She was all pushed up against my back and my bump was all squished up against the lady in front's bag. ARGH!
I glanced backwards at her and obviously she's just pushing for all she's worth and avoiding any eye contact. *GGRRRROOOOOWWWWLLL* I ended up having to push the lady in front's bag to her side. I think she may have thought I was trying to pickpocket cos she kept looking backwards too. That was really just abt the nastiest experience I've ever had when my bump really was 'in distress'.
Serene22,
Oops! Sorry! I didn't want all the emails sitting in my inbox so I take note and delete them. I must have missed out on yours. Sigh, I'm getting more and more confused between ppl's names and nicks - especially when I keep receiving emails without any sign-offs. Obviously yours is one of the easy ones. Noted with thanks!

Wow... this is the beginning of week 26 for me. I'm officially cross the line from 2nd trimester into 3rd.
It's into the home run... *Scary thought* Thank God for a relatively mild pregnancy thus far.
Tailbone pain has been more manageable this last week or so. Leg camps have remained few and far between.
OH! Re: Tailbone pain
Obgyn told me feel free to get chi. sinseh to help massage. But that's just going to relieve pain for a short while.
Said if I want, he can give me pain medication or I can take panadol.
But just bear with it. The pain's not going to go away until it's all over.
sweethalo, still not back from scan?

haven been post qt some time, no need OT alot to read. haha cassey ur pipe leakage may seems funny to hb but oh great hb clean up for u so sweet! i had to instruct my hb to change bedsht or else it could go unchanged for mths!
sigh those pple who are glued to their seats are really ridicule! there are also couples esp during the last few days valentine's day glue together and the not so gentleman guy act as if the world only have the both of them when poor old folk & preggies std thru out the ride... i wonder when will our society be more gracious esp the young ones seems to be getting worse... so worry for my child's upbringing... somehow the effect of peers are so great.
yday went sentosa cos hb need to do tk some shot for his boss, end up cant std the music there so worried my little boy's heartbeat get mess up & go into distress so went to beach to sit instead. ah the breeze and the wave sound is so pleasant, if only hb have time to stroll with us along the beach... oh yeah! yday my hb's jap friend bought bb clothes frm jap for my boy, so touch! they going back to jap to settle down for another 2 yrs before deciding whether to come bck
no more roti prata gang cos the wife likes roti prata & will drive over to fetch us.

shelisa/ bbjun,
i also cant sleep well ever since i got pregnant. worse still, my girl slps with us. so if shes not well or weather is stuffy she'll keep on waking up and disturb my slp! i also find that i dream alot when i slp, not exactly well-rested. on the average i wake up like 3-5 times a night.
tubbym,
yea mothercare is one of my fave shops for rompers and kid's pyjamas. the price tag can be hefty at times, but i find that the quality is lot better than other brands. their clothes can withstand repeated washings and will not "lose its form". the neighbourhood type can only last a few mths, cos they stretch and the waistband will lose its elasticity after a short time. so i find it even more expensive in the long run! anws, no money for MPV at the mmt!
cassey,
congrats on crossing the last mark! glad to know that everything's lookin gd for u and baby.

RE: leaking pipes
just be more diligent with your kegels. WBB was stressing so much of it at our last lesson.
RE:backache n tailbone pain
So glad that WBB taught that back massage at the lower back to the hbs. My hb did that massage that nite for me and I cld sleep better since the lower back n tailbone didn't ache so much. Works wonder to elevate the discomfort. Remind ur HB to pay attention at that when u attend yours so that he can help massage every nite for u. !!!
I usually avoid crowded lifts, esply at train stations. Had a similar bad experience as u when oso a China lady pushed her way in with a pram!!from then on, I just take the escalator and try to wait till the crowd has thin out.

cassey, thanks for the link. will check it out at home later tonite. ha...
crossing to 3rd tri. congrats to passing that milestone.
for me, dont know it's a happy thing or not. ha.... heard stories about being tired, back to 1st tri pattern, water rentention and etc.... but yet happy to go so far and soon, it'll be may and jun. haha...
tailbone pain
pratically cant sit properly, cant sit for long. it's like nothing helps. massages seem to be only a temporary relief.
ah, i hate taking buses during peak hours. those pple dont open eyes and see, simply rush to board the buses. so, most of the times, in order not to squeeze with those pple, will be the last to board, thus no seats. same with peak hour trains. pple just push their way in without looking...
if taxi operators do not impose the peak hr surcharge, i think there will be alot of preg ladies taking taxis instead during peak hrs.

Hi Ahnetsan,
my hubby started reading bible story nightly to my bb since 2 months odd. We believe that we can cultivate the bb love for books and also God. He also took the opportunity to bond with bb. Think he talk more to bb than me. He actually very sweet. Every night he will pray with bb and tell bb to be filial to me cos I suffer during pregnancy. Really cute!

Last few months every now and then will have, but by next day will be ok as long as I don't constipate. But recently constipated couple of days, when I finally went, got fresh blood lor. And the fresh blood has been happening for 2-3 days liao. Very painful when I have to go, and the fresh blood scares me...

How was the day
Sorry for logging in so late creamer and bbjun, cos went to JB after the checkup since my hubby took full day leave today 
DS went quite well today. My hubby and mum were able to go in and watch. Whole thing took abt 20min. Doctor confirmed it's a boy and so far he said nothing to complain about...hehe...
Fists were clenched so cld not count fingers. Lips look ok so far, not cleft. Checked the 4 valves of the heart and main arteries... so far so good.
My Triple Test results are ok too
Thanks everyone for concern ...

hehee... only went to CitySq and quite surprised that the new CIQ is a breeze to pass through unlike the newspaper reports. Definitely an 200% improvement to the old causeway check pt.
Wanted to buy Nightsafe sanitary napkins for confinement time there but all out of stock for the brand that I use!!
Don't think the Avent products are cheaper than Singapore. Better to buy here..ehehe
Also bought quite some Baby rompers there, quite cheap

ahnetsan/createjoy, it's constipation that's causing it, but I can't seem to stop constipating. And even though last 2 days I've been going smoothly, it's still hurting and bleeding. For me I dun each much spicy food (cos I'm very lousy, a little bit only I'll feel that it's very spicy), and I've been eating lotsa fruits, drinking lotsa water. I walk everyday, and every now & then do half hr of pregnancy pilates. Nothing is helping. The bleeding is not those couple of small spots on toilet paper kind, it's the kind where if I were to go and pee 1hr later and I wipe, there's STILL blood on the paper! Think I'll buy Fibogel tomorrow.
sweethalo, glad to hear that everything went smoothly! Did u get to find out baby's weight etc? It's nice that you brought your mum along too. Think my mum would have loved to be there for mine, but I didn't even think to ask her. Oops. I'm bad.

Ahnetsan- if u feel tightness daily, hv to tell gynae.
Today my doctor told me after 20 weeks must watch out for premature contractions. He said if there is tight pulling and very often, must take the Salbutamol medication he gave me to relax the belly.
Also asked me to monitor number of baby kicks in an hour in a day and if there is a decrease in any day, must inform him, or if very violent kicks also must inform
