I had my 16th week visit yesterday, and got my test results from the OSCAR. Results were normal according to the gynae. I guess my highlight is seeing my little one during every visit's ultrascan. We nudged my little one a few times to open up so we can find out the gender, but little one just want to keep it a secret from mummy and daddy. I love it how she/he always looks like she/he is waving at us or dancing away during u/s and oscar.
I have been given only Obimin from the gynae so far, and taking salmon oil supplements (my own) too. But geez, I so need to separate the two into 2 pill boxes, cos the smell of the fish oil really brings on nausea.

Hi elijah's mummy,
Mine is Dr Yvonne Chan from TMC. Haha, maybe I'm also a bit tomboy type, so her no-nonsence personality suits me & the husband.
Hi Qiqi,
I took Brands Chicken Essence. Don't think baby will be black black lah. My sister had strong cravings for coke during her pregnancy but my niece is still very fair. I drink at least a cup of coffee everyday, but wound also not all the time will leave scar. Think it all depends on the type of wound and the healing process. Heard shouldn't get too much sun on wound cos will increase scarring.

Re: Pre-natal Powdered Milk vs Weight Gain
Any mummies taking pre-natal formula milk & gaining weight fast? I started taking 4 weeks pregnant & stopped when I couldn't stand milk cos of MS. Realized I put on 2 kg then. Now appetite the same as before, taking supplements btu I never put on weight. Think the milk was what was causing me to put on weight faster than recommended

thanks ladies for ur input about c-section, natural and epidural. i think u guys have a point that c-section takes longer to heal, going natural would probably be a better choice if possible, with or without epidural.
elijah'smummy, does ur backache focus on a point or generally the whole back??? for me, it focus on a point, that's why i suspect it's from epidural. but if i have to go natural again, i would opt for epidural again, cos i dun think i can tahan pain.

I think there is a thread on bird's nest in the forums, some says it works for them and others advise not. I have been told by my mum, it brings on phlegm in the baby, and both my hubby and I had childhood asthma, so I rather not increase the chances of my baby developing it. I always feel it's a really painful experience for both the child and parent to do though. But I guess anything good can be taken in moderation.

the needle is not big like the blood donation ones just very long!!!
sam
the version i heard is that cant take before baby is 5mths, this is coz that is when baby's lungs are developing.... hahah then maybe they carry on with the saying coz then bird nest that we are supposed to be able to take is the pinkish in color one (think its called "xue yan")think can ask these at the shops but they are super costly.... my mum ships them in from HK for me to take... hahah my MIL says that this not good for baby cant take...(hahah then found out from relatives that she was saying wah so expensive why must buy for me to take...)so could it be a cost thing that is why alot of oldies say cant take?
hmmm i thought that birdnest was considered “ren/ fei" my mum fed me with birdnest to help with my asthma when i had childhood asthma.... cleared now though that is why she was feeding me with it during my first pregnancy too....her way of preventing my boy from it as we have a genetic history to it.

my gynae always ask me if i still have enuf supplements. So I'll just tell him I have enough cos I just bought from pharmacy. He's ok wif it. There's once he prescribed for me already. Then when the nurses gave me, I just tell them I don't want. They are all fine with it. So far, I'm only getting my dha pills from clinic.
haha... drink cold water will freeze baby... all the funny thoughts huh? Tell them, by the time cold water goes down our throat, into stomach n reach baby, will be warm up by our body temperature already... Hehe
qiqi,
I don't believe in it too. For my boy, I had bird nest from 2nd trimester all the way to delivery once a week. They say baby will be fair and have smooth complextion. Drank soya milk quite frequently. Also never drink coffee throughout. But when he was born, he was very dark even though both hubby and me are fair. But as he grows up, he becomes fairer. This time round, I drank a lot of chicken essence leh cos no time to go back to mum's place for tonics.
lamagier,
not sure if drink milk powder will gain more. Maybe some truth. When I had #1, weight gain was a bit little. Gynae asked me to drink milk powder. I just started drinking. Not everyday though. Last 3 wks, I put on almost 3kg. But I attribute it to the increased appetite plus the daily supper hubby bought back.

The thread I mentioned earlier on the bird's nest: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/36738/351668.html
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/36738/977252.html?
I have taken lots of Chinese remedies as a child to strengthen my condition, but considering that both parents have childhood asthma, I like to lower my chances of bringing it on. The discussion in the above threads mostly talks about the cosmetic benefits of taking bird's nest during pregnancy, but still an undelying belief that over-consumption (possibly too "liang") can trigger asthma or other allergy conditions. Other likely effect from taking bird's nest is that very often it needs to go thru some processing to clean up the dirt and other impurities in the bird's nest.
Nonetheless, it is a high-protein source which probably is not detrimental but always wise take anything too good in moderation.
There are by the way, lots of nutritional and tasty dishes for expecting mothers, most of them hidden away in the Chinese section of the library or found in the Chinese cookery section of shops like Kino. Most of then deal with cooking foods that are really basic like greens, fish, beans, and eggs etc, and improving the texture and taste of those foods to help with our tricky discomforts like nausea, constipation, deficiency in calcium, and anemia. There are also little pockets of knowledge such as common things like taking coffee and milk tea or beer, because such drinks contain tannin which combines with iron, the iron will thus not be easily absorbed by the intestines. Interesting reads if you are not put off by the amount of Chinese characters in the books, and definitely less dry than the English books on diet for expectant mothers, which feels very outdated.

actualy i tink stuff liek birdnest
is just a bonus. i find it quite a waste of money also but dh insist on buyin some so i jus let him buy a bit
but seriously
i dun tink no eat tat will hav -ve or positive effect
so dun worry if u dun eat that ok
u can try eatin white fungus
its very cheap (few dollars a pack) and jus boil w red dates and a bit of wolf berry n rock sugar.
the lady at medical hall say is poor mans vrsion of bird nest and can eat weekly or twice a week. so u might wan consider eating that
im sure u eat it anot.. baby also come out nice nice one dun wory =)
i understand how u feel when tonic are realy ex cos i feel the pinch when i brew tonics also. afterall i dun work.. depend on dh alone v shiong.
the d/s test which include the scan plus blood test i lost the receipt but i rem it was near 4300, mayb cos also i did the thelasamia blood test as well that y cost a bit more
i tink if jus scan and no blood test (to hav better accuracy of the d/s risk) cost lesser mayb thats hw the 130 come from
i tink when u ask bout the pricing.. it varies between wat sort of patient u are like in TPS, normal clinic or general clinic
mayb they quote u the normal clinic charges. cos normal clinic like some of the ladies say dun scan every visit. so u pay as per scan bah?
but if u work in NUH.. then mayb easier for u to hav check up in NUH?

agree with your gf. its really the feathers that cause the prob.... must be super clean if we are to eat. hahah yaps birdsnest is really a bonus another good option is the white fungus/ frog vomit. these are coz of the high protein that they contain that is good for baby's growth. another is to take more collagen. think the item is called "her piao", price at crystal jade is 20 per pot.

i stay at tpy.
for the birdnest yaps not much to pick if its the really really good ones but those cost a bomb! yaps thats what my mum did for me too, cook 1 piece per week then i would make it last me a whole week by taking a spoonful daily (balance keep in clean airtight jar in the fridge) coz i feel that when taken in small amts then our body absorbs the birdnest better mah

ya the good bird nest gt lesser feather..
the suan yan is actualy the loose pieces of nest they put together so after cookign they wun b such huge chunk as compare to the more ex one.. i but the uncle at hock hua told mi its ok one.
pprincess
20-30 per piece?
u mean $20-$30 is it? i tink about that price leh
cos if buy 2 liang free 1 liang.. total up is about 16 to 17 pcs. if 1 liang cost ard $150, so $300 for 3 liang(16-17pcs) is less than $30 bucks per piece actualy

Re: bird nest
Have been taking bird nest since my 12th week. Think should be ok to take as long as dun take too much.
Bought the bird nest from hock hua at $300+ for 3 liang. got ard 28 to 30 pcs. maybe the type i bought is the small type tat's y got so many pcs. Actually can buy 'yan bing' if you find 'yan zhan' is expensive. It's the diff way they processed the bird nest but the diff in price can be quite huge.

Re: Posture
Just to share. i was reading obnline cos I find myself getting increasingly uncomfortable after wsitting at my work station for too long.... partly as I tend to slouch after working on computer for too long and I tend to cross my legs at the knees.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Posture-and-Pregnancy&id=113880
However slumping forward because of fatigue has it's own problem as it can be more difficult to breathe and slumping pushes the rib cage down onto the stomach. The compression reduces the space available for the stomach and stomach acid may be forced into the esophagus resulting in heartburn.

As your pregnancy progresses you may find that sitting for long periods becomes increasingly uncomfortable. It is helpful therefore to keep changing your position, walking around frequently - at least every half an hour or so. It will also become increasingly difficult to stand up from a low, deep chair, causing unnecessary strain in your back and sacroiliac joints. Therefore try to choose an upright and firm chair to sit it, and you can support your lumbar spine with a small cushion, if required. Sit with both feet on the ground or with your feet raised on a foot stool. Never sit with your legs crossed at the knees, as this twists your pelvis and lumbar spine, as well as impairing the circulation in your legs.

thanks for the information! ive also been feeling stiffness at the back since 1 week ago & thought that it is my usual back problem. but i think as working in office is very hard for us to walk around in the office, that cannot be done that much. like u, i also sit cross legs at the knees & always slouching. time for us to change our habit

Re: 3 full meals vs Many small meals
Have mummies here start to go on small-but-many-meals-a-day or still on 3 full meals a day? Cos I've been having 3 full meals a day so I can eat with the husband. But the past 2 days have been feeling like I have overate after meals and will puke. It still feels like its too early for baby to be compressing my stomach......

Kitty,
Take care. Don't get too upset over taking the meds, afterall, all mummies don't want to be sick and take meds. I also worry if all the flu, gastric pains med I have taken will cause harm to baby, but no choice. Really not well, still have to take in case illness spread.
Most important is to try to get well first so mummy body won't hurt the baby. Just before pregnancy I had flu and doc give not strong enough med, end up got lymph node infection... even worse.... Too 2 weeks of super duper strong anti-biotics to fight off the infection.
I usually check online all the meds which doctors & gynae provide. My pharmacist friend said it is still safe to take up to Class B meds during pregnancy.
Hi HBB
I have already drummed into the husband's head what I read in magazines... Preggy ladies need only 300 calories more a day, not eat for 2. It's the quality of meal that counts, not the quantity! If he buy too much food and I cannot finish, he will have to finish for me and end up his tummy will become bigger than mine =p
