Thanks sweethalo, I'll look out for MIM at the fair. I believe I'm still going to the fair. For now.

- Start date
I have multi vits, fish oil, calcium n iron.
I actually dunno how many pcs of blanket is a safe no, considering that it may be dirtied with pee and poo as well. Then next time my BB will be at BBsitter oso need to stand by at least 2 pcs at her plc. Buying 5pcs from the lady who is selling bibs cos I saw that it's relatively cheap.
Gg back to work liao.. will pop in later again.

jam75,
my gynae says after first trimester no need to take folic acid already as bb spine is developed fully already..
I'm taking pink multi vitamins, DHA (fish oil) and calcium.. some mummies also take iron..
as for blanket, I standby 3.. some experienced mummies told me new napkins can also be used as blanket for babies so I bought a pack of those too..

hi all,
re movie: i watched benjamin button last week. not a bad show. was glued to the screen for the whole long 2 hours plus. i do not need the loo that often so i thoroughly enjoyed the show, although it definitely was high tide when the show end. but at least i didn't need to squirm in my seat trying to get the baby off my bladder. mayb try fully emptying it before the show & only sipping water slowly can reduce the need to go loo?
re fat : my face is getting rounder by the day!!! arghhh.... i cannot deny it. everyday look at the mirror, everyday kena reminded. starting to wonder how to slim dwn after delivery.
re urge to pee : ask u all, do u hv full bladder whenever u hv the urge to pee? or oni a bit most of the time? i sometimes feel urge to pee, then change position, suddenly dun feel it already. then walk some more, feel again, then think better go toilet. in the end, oni bit bit, faintz, waste my time.

jam75, me same as chidori. My doc also told me same thing, no need to conitnue taking 5mg folic acid after 1st tri. Just need to take the normal daily requirement of 400mcg, which is included in my multivit. My multivit also got calcium, but not much, so he prescribe me additional. And the expensive fish oil lor...
jam75, yup.. my gyane told me that the iron pill included floid acid. my iron is like black colur. den burp got 1 smelly smell. actually good fish oil u burp liao will not smelly. i try the GNC 1, then i tell u burp got smell.
Mika, same prob with u. that time within 1 hr i go toilet 6 times!! same time change position also the feeling will gone. i think it is normal ba?

mika, i hv the same prob wif u...always feel like going to pee...sometime walk awhile wanna to go but when in juz a little...now my frequency to go pee is realli jia liat till my hb say beter dun go watch movie...he oso choose to go shopping where i can find toilet easily!

I'm taking pink multi vitamins (obimin) which also incl folic acid, DHA (fish oil) and calcium. as mentioned before, better not to take calcium together with multi-vits because prevent iron absorption.
jam75, fish oil won't smell. my capsule quite easy to swallow some more.
bbjun, the bib lady blanket is very small leh 30x30 cm iirc. better chk with her again. otherwise if got spree for cheap blanket at babymallonline also can buy there. im not sure how big blanket needs to be, if too big like dangerous for baby if never wrap tight/swaddle. yet if too small, baby will outgrow very fast then cannot use already. so i also prepare the cotton napkins - cheap and easy to use/wash.

mika rei, I have that sometimes. It is especially irritating when I am sleeping and to make my way to the toilet to only realize it's a wee wee bit. When I am out, especially for movies, I make sure I empty my bladder and take sips of water instead. There are times I can feel my boy kicking my bladder and I will scold him cos by the time I reach the toilet, there isn't much, as usual. Sometimes, I purposely hold it for a while and the feeling will go away.
caramelle, thks. Am aware of that but think it should suffice at least till about 4-5mths. I don't think I will use the blankets to swaddle the BB. Most likely just the cotton napkins when necessary. May be getting one swaddle blanket for him for outings that's all.

caramelle,
you are right. calcium and iron cannot go together.. i usually take my calcium or milk at night and multi vits in the morning..
calling for the 70kg club,
my col with 3 kids told me that eating grapefruit one a day can help to maintain or lose weight.. she did so during her pregnancy when her doc told her she is putting on too much weight...
i'm just wondering if grapefruit will cause phelgm in my bb.. as oranges (according to old wives myth) will cause excess phelgm in bb.. I eat one grapefruit every alternate day.. update you gals if there is any results..
to all mummies,
having apples according to study in japan is found to reduce the risk of asthma in bb.. so do try to take more apples if possible.. I'm eating at least 4 every week..
going off for class liao.. have a good evening ladies

caramelle, I think the blankets are 30 x 30 inches, so that's about 70+cm? I thought that size quite ok, thinking of ordering some from her also hehe... Just one pack, don't wanna over do it. But I don't like the colour combo for girls, I think there's too many pink ones, and I prefer a nice mix. So will see how... Maybe order loose pieces from another lady, just one or two...
Chidori, ok, u try the grapefruit trick, and let us know how it goes ok? 2 days ago, my weight just jumped 1kg overnight again. It happened 2 weeks back also. So sad
If grapefruit can help control unnecessary weight gain, I'll try too!

hahaa.. I realized I m very blur today. I didn't know caramelle indicated "cm" behind. I read it in inches cos I rem that dimensions. Then was relating to my fren's son who grew quite big within 5 mths... So I tot it shd be lasting until then.
I hate grapefruit. Totally dislike the taste.
But I am falling behind my fruits intake becos of my smaller appetite now. I can't find room to fit the fruits in. sighz.
knocking off soon... finally.

ladies,
do hold the reins when buying receiving blankets. the purpose is to swaddle babies but as far as i rembr, i didnt use any cos i use nappy cloth to swaddle. reason being its thin and airy, so baby wont be hot. overheating of infants is quite dangerous. for those who wish to swaddle with blankets, i guess 5 pieces is enough.

wah piang, dunno wat happen today... whole day i can only see blank page for 2009 thread.... sian... finally can read thread...stupid system, dunno wat's wrong today.
but heng ar, no need to read archive... heehee
lovelytulips, how are you feeling now? stil got vomitting mah? still shitting after the 2x?
bbjun, wat kinda books you went to borrow to read to tummy? dat day i went to lib, but dunno choose wat books to read to bb leh... den ended up buying junk food back. heehee
shelisa, i see....tot ur grandma will peep at u bathing...heehee... sianz right, old ppl like dat one, cannot bathe during confinement...it's crazy lor... how can dat be tolerable lor... disgusting and sweaty and smelly maybe...heeehee
yeah i also think drinking more water will help in constipation, can help smoother trips to toilet.
jam75, hw's ur diarrhoea now?
haha, you very cute leh, wanted to hide somewhere to avoid bumping into frens... i guess bo bian one lor, now dat we preggie, we sure put on weight one mah... dun care wat others say lor... they are jus jealous dat you are preggie.
btw, normally piles will appear at which week of pregnancy? since i read dunno who say it's common to haf piles during pregnancy. and is it true dat we will kenna piles more easily if we constipate more?
bbjun, u very funny leh, too engrossed in looking at ur nose until u forgot to apply stretchmark cream....
tubbymummy, wah u steady la, one time try so many things, den in the end, got go shit or not?
shelisa, i had that 'something-stuck-in-throat' feeling during 1st trimester. mine also felt like got phlegm stuck like dat, but it's actually not phlegm.
eh wat MIM fair ar? when and where ar?
mika, sometimes i feel the same way too, so now i jus go toilet pee whenever i think i wan to go... sometimes it's only a bit. esp in the middle of the night i will suddenly wake up, but dun really haf full bladder feeling, but i jus go toilet and pee, jus to play safe.
and it's weird cos i read in books dat 2nd trimester the urge to pee is not as often as 1st trimester... but for me, it's like not much difference leh.
fish oil rocks man!! i love my fish oil. cos i cannot swallow any pill bigger than the yellow flu pill, i bite the fish oil and let the oil seep out and i jus sucked it dry... haha. sounds gross for some right, im sure? but i like the fish oil taste, very yummy leh... a bit like the cods liver oil taste like dat.... heehee. and when burp dun haf fish oil taste leh.
but i hate the pink multivits, my hb always cut into pieces for me and i haf to chew them and swallow wif water... dat pill smells like antibiotics for me sia... disgusting one...
is swaddle blanket really necessary for bb?
chidori, i also heard cannot eat too many oranges cos bb might haf phlegm next time when born and it's gg to be very uncomfortable for the bb. but i guess as long as dun eat more than one orange per day, it's ok ba.
wah i din knw eating apples help to reduce the risk of asthma for bb. will tell my hb and ask him buy some back for me. red apples or green apples ar?
hmmm i think i not eating enough fruits... it's been dunno hw long since i last ate fruits le...
