fat mom, the maternity belt is to support your tummy to relieve pressure of the back. but for me it's to reduce the movement when i walk. this way, it relieves pressure off the muscles in the tummy and help it heal cos now it's stretched. i think cos i got tummy before that's why, cos most mummies i ask don't have that jiggy effect when they walk. anyone else care to share?
ahnetsan, the pneumococcal jab more exp because it's manufactured by Wyeth i think..big medical companies sure got patent on the jab and will make most money out of it. if you and Tubbymummy kids going for the jab, let me know so I can send my girl to same school as you all okay? im sure she'll be safe..hehe
Cassey, yup it's about the Fri gathering. creamer said she will tell you closer to the date if she can or cannot make it. after reading ahnetsan entry about the famous amos, i told hubby even if i have to crawl there, i will go! cos can get cookies and meet yummy mummies. and the yummy cookies *oops* did i say that twice? haha
and thanks for assuring me there'll be minimal walking my dear. in fact McD at the old wing is perfect cos very near the train station.
Tubbymummy and Cassey, Im like you both. for past few months, i stayed off fast food to watch my diet but with this pregnancy, i took out all the stops and went for Long John, McD, BK and KFC. love BK breakfast..
i really must learn to cook. all day i sat at home and cleared my emails but there's not much else to do. was thinking of cooking lunch but i can't bear the thought of cleaning up after that..wish my mum was not working this week then can pop over for lunch. got to content with packed lunch for tomorrow and friday for now.
tiny bubu, you can also do pelvic tilt (to relive pressure off your tailbone where precious baby is resting on), kegels a.k.a pelvic floor exercise (to strengthen your muscles down under so you won't sufer from incontinence after delivery), stretch your inner thighs (helps during delivery when you have to hold up your thigh area there for long time), calf stretches and foot ankle rotation (to minimise cramps). hope this helps!
LFB, i know, c-sect if not elective is my worst nightmare (and i actually dreamt it few nights back). we can only pray for the best. btw your baby how many weeks old? mine was 575gm at week 24 and seems like she's smaller than most other babies here..
i think i got ask before but can't remember if anyone replied. any mommies here have fibroids during this pregnancy? mine was only discovered when i was 6 weeks pregnant and it was quite big, about 6cm (considering the uterus only 7 cm wide). then now the fibroid has grown to 9 cm but moved to a higher place near the stomach area. my gynae believes it is the fibroid stretching the ligament not the uterus expanding. quite scary cos now when i touch my tummy, i can feel how hard the fibroid is. and there's nothing i can do to remove it, until after the pregnancy. for now got to REN the pain.
