NICI,
waterbag should be the outermost big black hole. usually sac refers to the yolk sac, it's roundish and has a black hole in it too. attached to the yolk sac is the fetal pole aka the baby. as the weeks progresses, the yolk sac will shrink and the fetal pole will increase in size. in early weeks like this, the pregnancy will be dated according to the crown to rump length of the fetus. usually one can see the fetal pole and yolk sac by 6 weeks. if the fetal pole is big enough (close to 1cm), you can see the heartbeat flashing before your eyes.
 


ML, managed to do ur maternity clothing shopping?

Pegsfur, no more leave for me already, today is back to work...now work is hectic and cant rest le. Recently got news that I got biz trip in Jan, not sure if I can fly anot...

Bean, ya lor...i only have appetite for spicy food. The rest, i juz dun feel like eating..

BabyS, i heard barley very "liang" but if u r heaty, my mum said chrysanthemum is Ok, but dun drink too much also...

Shirley, I also heard watermelon is very cooling leh, so have to avoid.

Wow....an outing sounds gd! Hope we can get thru our 1st tri soon! Jiayou to all!

pinkmama

i didn't know they have tingkat too. Do u have their website? Is their food spicy coz my boy will be eating it too? I'm also looking for tingkat to start next yr coz I'm really not up to cooking now. The smell puts me off.
 
jaclyn, hope u are ok.. is it becos of low BP or low blood sugar?

jermaine, thats great... continue to rest ah, dont be naughty and move about...

talking about maternity wear, so angry leh.. yesterday i was at vivo and i wanted to just go see see look look..

went to spring maternity,saw a lot of nice clothes, but didnt buy cos my friend passing me her members card. Then i walked over to this other shop not too far away, Maternity house. the min i walked in, i was approached by a sales guy.. he strasight away ask me what am i lokoing for, how many months.. in a fiendly manner lah, but was a bit pushy. I told him i dunno becos i am just starting to look only. Then he went on to recommend a few pairs of pants that i can wear even if i am not preggie. then he went to climb up to supposedly get me a pair of pants. (I am guessing cos he didnt say anything to me asking if i want to try or what.)..

then as i was wondering if i wanna walk on, he gave me the pants and said "here u can go try."

I never said i wanna try leh. i just wanna see. he didnt give me a chance to decline the offer to try b4 he went searching also. Then he started saying how this is the only piece left, asked his female colleague to confirm and she said yes, last piece left.. But funny thing is, this lady was busy with someone else and didnt see what he was getting, no code no. given also and she knows its out of stock? the acting was hard for me to buy man...

Then i told the guy i didnt want to try, becos i was feeling uncomfortable that day and didnt really want to move too much...mummies to be here, u know what i mean right.. on some days when u are feeling crampy or unwell with MS, u just dont wanna move too much...

This guy when he heard it, he turn around straight away and said "ok then. BYE" in the MOST SARCASTIC tone....... like telling me i waste his time, dont come shop if i am not interested in buying..

ooooo... got me so pissed man. And i felt really uncomfortable with him serving me as a sales person. Why? COs with his buldging muscles and tight fit singlet that he was wearing, he looked like he belonged more at newurbanmale than a maternity wear shop!! and, as a guy, what does he understand about clothing for pregnannt women and how they feel wearing it... was telling my husband after i walked out, i feel like i was in some amore retail shop and this guy is selling me pants for yoga or aerobics lor...

and not cheap too..
 
Caspinall,

BabyS,

Thanks for your responses : ) Cos I don't seem to have EWCM. I started TTCing last month after stopping birth control pills and I haven't noticed any EWCM till now. My last AF was on 5 Dec so I thought these few days would be good to try...congrats to all here on their pregnancies. Hopefully I can join the Sep/Oct thread
 
Hi Morninig,

Here r my info,
nick: Loh
EDD: 27th Aug
Doc: Dr Adrian Woodworth
Hosp: TMC
# of child: 2
Current Child gender: M
Location: CCK
 
Morning ladies!

BabyS, u really have such bad experience man...it seems like the guy is really very pushy. I cant stand pushy salesperson also. I prefer to have the "leave me alone" unless I need help...dun like ppl to follow me around when shopping. Otherwise, I would feel stress n uneasy.
 
piggy, when i went only got him and one malay lady...

I went to Spring maternity at vivo yest, new outlet, quite like their stuff.... non maternity looking clothes, so can wear even after giving birth and price wise quite ok..

They were promiting this new brand of strollers, gelite.. look like quinny and bugaboo but cheaper.. quite cool with all the things it can do, but too bulky for me, since i will be using it more than my husband..

imagine i take bus with baby and this stroller. to store the stroller to get up on bus, must pass baby to bus driver first while i close up the stroller.. hahaha..

yeah i got my sparkling ribena today!
 
violetta, yeah i dont like pple following me around too, esp those that have the urge to rearrange everything that i just touch (even if its still in orginal spot) or follow pple around like we're shop lifters..

once i was followed by this aunty in metro, i was looking at shoes. I pick up the shoes to try, put them back she must pick it up after i put it back, just to put it back in exact same location. Even if i just walk past, she will go arrange too. i was soo irritated and mean, i told my mum to wait at the side for me (my mum was like "dont be mean ah..")

I then walked around the whole section, picking shoes and putting them back in a differeny location..and as expected, aunty follow me..

hee.. mean of me, but she follow me around so closely lor.

Hi gals, if ur organising meet up can do it in like 2nd week of Feb, almost 1st tri over for some of us liao. Erm, cos I might be going off in Feb and hope to met up and have gathering before I go. :p
 
BabyS,
Eeeee i hate sales people like that! I find such action very rude. Why can't they wait until the customer left before they can rearrange again?! I prefer those that stands one side and watch from far. I hate to be followed around as well.
 
BabyS, ya ya..i encountered before also where the salesperson would rearrange the things that I picked up. Thats very rude I feel. Same as u, i will be nasty and mess up abit also...they make us feel as though we are messing up their place...hate it!
 
Good morning, mummies.

Welcome, Loh!

Dunno why, previous pregnancy have no craving. This time round, I crave for Sarawak pineapple. My mum told me to curb the craving and not eat pineapples but I think eat a little bit should be ok, right? Since it is a old wives' myth!
 
Hi Mrs Puff,
Thanks..very informative =). In that case, I never seen the waterbag before or maybe the gynae never shown me my waterbag. Yesterday, I went to my gynae again...saw the fetal pole and heartbeat flashing. The size of fetal pole is ard 3.6mm. Doc asked me to go back 2 times per week for a jab due to the spotting that I'm facing. Apparently I'm at week 6.

Any idea which week this spotting will go away?? Really looking fwd to that day.
 
Ya luvbabe, pineapples are no-no...best to avoid or curb ur cravings if u can..i have curb alot of my cravings on fave food too, stingray, sotongs, crabs, kangkong....alamak, now think already also will drool...
 
luvbabe, i dont usually believe in old wives tales, but once when i was having my menses, i ate pineapple and i ended up with very terrible cramps.. so from then on i avoid pineapples during menses, so i am avoiding pineapples for now too..

but i also craving for pineapples leh! i guess becos its juicy and a tiny bit sourish eh.. hee...
 
i'm the kind who eats everything in moderation but pineapple is a definite no-no and my mom told me to avoid it at all cost. but now that u mention it, i suddenly have a craving for pineapple juice that hawker centre sells! argghh!
 
Ya, with regards to pineapple the other day I ate and my spotting got worse. So better abstain if possible to curb the cravings.

Btw, any mum going to visit their gynae today? Having severe headache today and thinking of taking 2 tablets of panadol. Wonder if we can take panadol during pregnancy?
 
Hello ladies,

Just back from the gynae's. This time round only saw the sac, and nothing else. I shld be in week 6 now but comparing to the rest of u here, my progress seemed to be a little slower ... dunno if i shld worry or not .. hiaz ...

pegsfur, dont worry too much, i also o late.. last week when i went for appt (2nd) then can see sac... dr thinks can see baby inside, but too small, as in most 6 weekers are small...

lynn, last week when i went to see my gynae i was having a migraine. dr says can take panadol, but advise to take the normal ones (not the extra kinds), and if possible, try other alternatives b4 taking medicine. if possible dont take meds... but he says panadol is ok...
 
piggy,
Oooh ... mine is only 1 day earlier than you, 10/11
happy.gif
Ok, then i think mine shld be normal bah.

baby s,
When u all say o late, how late is late? I ovulated on CD18 on a 31day cycle .. is dat considered late?
 
Pegsfur,

happy.gif
 
piggy,

HI Piggytoh and BabyS, thanks so much for the info..have taken 2 already. But still can't find much relieve.
