caramelle, about that craving thing, I so agree with you! Everytime I meet up with friends etc, if I happen to ask "so where are we eating", I will sure get the answer "oh, I anything also can, we eat whatever you're craving lor!"
I have explained countless times that in this pregnancy, I have NO CRAVINGS. One of my best friends has done that several times, until I told her one day in a rather irritated tone of voice "I told you already, I have no cravings, why can't we discuss what to eat like normal people?" I mean, there are times where I feel like eating something, but in all my life, preg or not, I've had these feelings before. So why is it that when i become preg, it suddenly becomes a CRAVING? To me, a craving is something that I DIE DIE have to eat within that day or the next. And frankly, in all the time that I've been preg, I've not experienced anything close to that.

TubbyM,
I know what you mean. Even with my experienced mummy colleagues, they will ask me the same qn. I seriously do not have die die must have cravings most of the time! In fact, after my first trimester, I hardly have any food cravings except for ocassional cravings for some snacks which I think was just as normal as non-preggies days! It can be quite frustrating repeating the same answer to them almost every other day.

Tubbymummy,
yes, the same qns everytime. I hate most is,"why eat so little? Must eat more, you eating for 2 person leh?" Seriously, didn't they know that most bulk of fats and weight go to us, not the baby??? Then some pple can say,"you on diet ah(cos I am not stuffing myself enough!)?Cannot leh, you must eat more! Mummy should eat more!" Wah, tell you, can strangle them!!!

<font color="0077aa">createjoy, I ordered from GMarket yesterday and got an sms this morning tt the first of my orders will be delivered this evening. Cos there're different suppliers so they deliver separately unless you request a combined delivery. Will keep you posted once they're delivered. I got them to deliver to mum's instead since I'll be doing confinement there, PLUS her domestic helper will always be around to receive items.
LFB, I don't know if this answer will help but I'm not particular abt what kinda cream I use cos I do believe that stretchmark cream isn't tt effective except to keep skin moisturised so it stretches better. So I use stretchmark cream, as well as Body Shop's body butters in the fragrances tt I like - Deep Sleep, PassionFruit & Olive.
caramelle, Tubbym~, bbjun, same experience with the craving thing! Goodness, it's like a twice a week lunch topic! Where are we going for lunch? Up to you - what are you craving for? Hey, even if I'm preggers, doesn't mean my cravings suddenly become so strong that I must demand it. Even non-preggie, I get cravings ma. Chey.
Shelisa, I think you're a bit paranoid, my dear. A preggie tummy is very firm, else it's all fat!! By hardening, it's like a cramping - a contraction of muscles... like caramelle said, a tightening. Not just general hardness and firmness and bloatedness. I feel that all the time as bump grows - bump feels tight, but it's not a hardenING and tightenING sensation. I feel like a big buffalo trying to get up from the sofa nowadays.
Yay! Tuesday is half priced Gelare waffles day! I'm going for my waffles today!!
Hey, you MTBs realised Cass~ has been eating a whole lot of junk these last weeks? I'm still taking a lot of "real" food.
Hope my next weigh-in isn't a disaster. kekeke!

But my bb is recently changing the way he moves.. kind of a vibrating motion - shaking like that.. super fast, about 7 movements in 2 seconds.. anyone got those??</font>

<font color="0077aa">11_Beans, yes. It actually can start from the 2nd trimester, just that uterus still being small at that point, we don't usually feel it as keenly as we would in 3rd. It feels like contractions, but does NOT increase in intensity and goes away when MTB changes positions or stretches gently.
>>Vibrating bb.. I posted abt that too... weeks ago, but no one really answered. It makes me gasp sometimes. But I guess it's ok cos he's doing alright...? No idea what it could be. Maybe they're shaking their legs... *grin*</font>

Hellooo ladies
thanks fatmom and ahnet...
Tightening and contractions - these are painless, it is a regular pulling feeling. Don't wait till it hurts because that means baby is oredi on the way. Baby kicks are not regular, they kick once or twice not rhythmic kicks.
Cassey - u are becoming a sweet tooth junkie! Be careful of sugar intake.
BTW, there's a Robinson's warehouse sale at Expo for members on Thurs 19th March.

<font color="0077aa">sweethalo, I know! Everyone's saying "must be boy, must be boy. Boy the mummy will crave sweet things, what." Ermm... ok. WHO CARES?! I just want my sweet stuff! That's why I haven't been managing regular savoury fare, I reckon. *oops*
>>Haven't done a glucose tolerance test. Hmm... Might have to ask for one at the next visit. But hey, other than what I post here, I don't really take a lot more sweets.. So maybe I'm not taking THAT much? Just that I'm very honest...? *hopeful eyebrow raise*
chidori, I though hiccup is supposed to be a sudden short sharp movement? I posted here last time too...? I don't think it is leh. Why would it vibrate after a hiccup...?</font>

<font color="0077aa">Shelisa, for me it's just the getting up and off cos of the shift of centre of gravity with growing bump. Tailbone ache comes when I sit down, usually when my butt first makes contact with the sitting surface. *ouch* It's all part & parcel. Just 2-3 more months to go.
chidori, is it?! *oops* Than it must be my misconception. SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS! No wonder the sites say it feels different from the other movements! I was sharing here that it's like a rigorous movement & contraction thing and sometimes it pushes my breath out in a whoosh and makes me gasp. Maybe it IS a hiccup... Hmm... CUTE!
>>Massage package. I think it is reasonable - although there ARE more affordable packages available.
*Okie dokesie... off I go for my Gelare! See ya later, ladies!*

<font color="0077aa">lovelytulips, I've found that sitting on a cushion helps cos then your thighs are a bit lower than bum and that gives bump a big more space. On top of that, it helps cushion the site of tailbone (butt) ache too. Mayb you can try that and let me know how it goes?
Calling audrey, you doing ok? I'm clearing leave most of this week so won't check work email.
Hope you make it to the talk on Wed!

Hi Ladies, sorry for missing in action for the past few days...
I have been suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome for almost every nights and cannot get enough rest throughout most nights. Guess that baby is growing bigger each day and causes quite a few discomfort to me. Am feeling so lethagic everyday and unable to sleep at night... I never had any pregnancy discomfort during my first and second trimester. Well! my uneasy time has come... *sign*
Cassey, I have PMed you already

blurmom : i think chidori was talking about me.In my previous post, I mentioned that because i hadnt slept in a few days (due to baby being super active at night), i fell asleep during a meeting at work and started being extremely cranky with everybody! so dr adrian gave me medication to make me drowsy and let me have a good night's sleep and it doesnt affect the baby. Baby will still be kicking you like mad at night but you'll just be so sleepy that you wont even feel a thing.

chidori/tinybubu, my gynae did prescribe me some "good to sleep" pills to overcome my Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) however the medication don't really work on me anymore
Baby's kick is not that disturbing as RLS... I went to bed around 11pm then waking up at wee hours - desperately wanting to walk and exercise my legs so much.
My brain/body is totally restless apart from my legs! My skin are drying up badly, I had been scratching them while I was sleeping... I get very low moral with all these going on...
Welcome,Bbaugustine! Pardon me for the late respond...

Cassey, thanks for the info on body butter. I bought a tub(with many more other toiletries!) and went home. I bathed with my passion fruit body wash and slabbed a generous amount of passion fruit butter on me. Smell fantastic!
Anyone suffering from endless toilet visits in the night? I am like going to toilet forever and last night, I went 5 times! Gosh! I had a bad night, needless to say! Sigh. Anyone in the same boat?

Hi all mummies/mtbs,
Sorry to interrupt. I am a mtb in Oct. Not sure if you have gotten or are getting beanie pillows for your babies. If you haven't, thought you could take a look at the cross-stitched and hand-made beanie pillows at the following link:
