Hi ladies, sorry to interrupt. I am from Jan 09 MTB. Have a brand new unopened Pigeon Electric Sterlizer to let go at $40 only. Willing to meet in town or east area. Pls PM me.
Hi HBB,
I read somewhere it's because mummies are have more blood and pumping them around, so it may be easier to get gum bleed. If it persists, maybe change to softer toothbrush.
Re: Weight Gain
Haha, my turn to start to outgrow my normal clothes. Jeans getting a bit tight for comfort and been facing constant chastising from my boss (male) to 'Please stop wearing your jeans'. Need to go shopping liao.
By the way, how much weight have you mummies put on? I've so far put on 1.5kg. Sigh. First reaction was to jump off sofa and head to gym to run it of or to go on diet. Then have to remind myself gaining weight is normal. So sad to see tummy, arms and tighs start to get flabby.... My boss has to keep reminding me ' You are pregnant, it's normal...'

Hi Lamagier,
Same here.. my legs and arms seems to go soft.. now i felt so breathless after climbing a fleet of stairs. Was complaining to my hb that after stop exercising since preggy, i felt so lethargic easily..He told me to do some light exercise so that i have easy labour..
My gynae say the preferred weight gain is between 1-2 kg a month..so i think u r fine lah.. Water retention and placenta also contribute to it..

Lamagier,
You can do some light weights training at home. There's a book on fitness for preganancy where they show pics of preggy ladies (w trainers) using fitball, hands weights and even those equipments use in gym. I borrowed that from the Library during my early preggy but didnt manage to make copies on the steps.

Hi HBB,
The 1.5kg is increase from normal weight, before pregnant. But think I look like gained more than that cos also have to consider muscle mass that now has probably disappeared.
Hi MrsC,
(*sob*) I already doing stretches at home and dug out my old light handweights to do exercise while watch TV and read magazine. So nuts that yesterday I was doing leg raises and crunches. Then felt ache in abs area (think baby protesting) so i stopped.
Maybe follow your advice go lib find books to see what exercise I can do and what cannot.
I need to find safe exercise that can make me sweat =( I haven't sweat it out sicne gynae told me not to jog about 2 weeks back. Going bonkers, bouncing off the walls.....

Hi Mrs C,
SIgh... am trying to slow down. Just that after so many years of watching my weight, its scary watching it climb....
Hi Sheryl,
I think that it's normal. I asked my friends, they all said their wives slept a lot during pregnancy. typical bedtime 10-12pm. Jia you jia you!!!!
I woke up at 3.30am to rush work cos just couldn't bring myself to work in the evening. (I do programing stuff. After whole day's of work, cannot think clearly... need refreshed mind to troubleshoot) now also concussed. Luckily today my company has company luncheon, I off for the day liao =)

you do programming? hahah same thing as my hubby... hahah it seems that he create more bugs for himself if he was to be too tired but still insist on programming!
so you must rest more then if need be can try to drink more soups as fluid intake help to keep the brain cool and that way you wont feel tired so easily.
sheryl
the increased sleep is so that our body can replenish our stores that baby is using up... so its very normal! heheh for me i try to sleep all that i can1 am a regular pig now! hahaah or a bear in hibernation.

hi ladies, i just went to the dentist for my check up and cleaning, yes doc say i have swollen gums and bleed easy. so he said pregnant ladies should floss more often and brush more regularly if possible.
i also went to my gynae today, my EDD is brought forward to 23 july. placenta still low, so doc say will monitor especially during last month, might have to do c-section if it's still low. i'm in my 14-15 week now, and doing detailed scan next month march 23 with another doc. have any of the ladies here done the detailed scan already?? how long did it take? and how much ahhh?

mummies with swollen gum - switch is a super soft toothbrush, instead of the normal soft toothbrush ... it actually helps. also if u need to gargle, gargle with a non-alcohol based mouthwash. think there are 1 brand (either dental or g.u.m) which u can get from watson/ GP tt's non-alcohol base.
i went for my checkup today - hardly any weight gian, if any, 300g loss from my last visit, partly cuz i didn't take my lunch. still no appetite for the past few weeks. i can't even eat my fav century egg porridge =( but baby is growing well though ... so ok lah ... just must rem to take all my supps!

kittyng,
thanks for the compliment. He really surprises us when he starts walking. Now waiting patiently for him to call me mummy. When baby comes along, all kind of things will also learn along the way. Though it's a tiring process but it's really a fulfilling experience.
Coolkero
My detailed scan will be on 18th Feb. Having it at NUH. Think if i don't remember wrongly is abt $100. The scanning takes abt half an hr if baby is cooperating cos they scan every detail parts of the baby. It's very nice to see the sonographer counts the fingers and toes, scan the heart, kidneys, etc...

Hi Sheryl,
Hope you are still ok and no fever. Flue most dangerous is fever cos baby can overheat... Baby temp about 1oC higher than mother's temp. Have and early night. Or able to take leave and rest on Friday?
I also can't wait to see baby =p But my next gynae visit on Valentine's Day and only 17 weeks... Only can see baby with normal ultra sound machine... Me and husband miss seeing baby too. He was saying how come this time must wait so long till next visit... Cos last time in between visit, I emergency went see gynae cos got severe tummy pains after 3 days of relatively high fever

Re: Bird's nest
Any other recipes for cooking bird's nest? Before pregnancy, I normally cooked it with american ginseng + rock sugar. Now, cannot take ginseng thingy, so only rock sugar and it tastes very "raw" with only rock sugar. Wondering how u gals take it?
Re: Comparing Stemcord & Cordlife (cord blood banking)
Anyone has a contact @Stemcord? As TMC works closely with Cordlife, they contacted me from my record there. I've gone thru' Cordlife plan and would like to compare it with Stemcord.
Thanks in advance!
