Gynae is worried that bb might be more than 3.5kgs.
He said bb is considered big at this stage, so really have to control my carbo intake.
Celine
My hb is also surprised that I'm eating non-stop.... haha!
Sometimes at middle of the night, he actually drives out to buy supper for me.
Then when he sees me eating, he also eats.... haha!
Janice
My gynae also advises me not to eat bread due to the high carbo.
Hopefully when into 3rd tri, then I won't keep feeling hungry then.

United Square has branded bb clothings fair.
Some great books to share.
Bought from Bras Basah Children Bookstore Level 1.

From what I heard, 1st mth celebration cannot be earlier.
Mummies
I'm looking for a baby sling pouch.
Any good and cheap brand to recommend? B
tw, kidzloft.com.sg is having 50% on bb stuff (etc: beddings, socks, car seat, safety gates and many others) for 1st year birthday of the month.
If any of your friends/colleague has child/children turning 1 soon, maybe can ask them for help.

Reira & flower, for us, we have two celebrations for bb shower, one for relatives and close friends who came over to my place, on a Sat (4 days before 1month) and this one we gave away cake, ang kueh & red eggs. Then the next day, we have another for our church friends, just catering alone. As for dh's colleagues, dh catered buffet at the company for them and my colleagues, I order cakes for all but for really close colleagues, I treated them to a meal out. So it all depends on how you want to celebrate. My mil said that can celebrate a couple of days before but not later, so my mum said just followed what she said.
Now I am also having a headache, bb shower for #2, if I do it at my mum's place, in-laws sure not happy, do it at their place, no space. So am thinking whether I should get a PA chalet to do a simple bb shower with catering and BBQ. Also thinking dun do, just give cakes this time but forsee that my in-laws sure make noise.
Flower, we don't believe in that haahaa, so we never do it. I think dh's bro and his sil did that for her two boys. We believe that God already has a plan for my boy and as long as my boy is obedient to God's word, everything will fall into place for him.
SL, thanks, will go and try. May even get for Kai's birthday.
Precious, cut down on carbo, try taking wholemeal/multigrains breads or cereals for breakfasts, brown rice for other meals. Take more vegetables, protein and fruits instead of carbo.
Usually Sg gynae will let you know bb is getting too big to control diet which is good, my gynae told me that when I was carrying #1. Over here, my friend had a 4.3kg bb just a week ago, and the worst is the gynae did not tell her that bb is big, she was in the pushing stage for 6 hours till she was so exhausted that her dh opt for caesarean then and found out bb was 4.3kg. My friend is not big, she is a chinese about 1.5plus metre, so we were all like wow bb is really big even our ang mo friends was surprised. Just bear with it and eat fruits if you are hungry.

Already gained 8kg at 24 weeks.
Probably will hit abt 14-16kg at full term.
My bb is small according to my gynae, now 744g. Likely 2+kg full term. Looks like I will need to go and take some durians already.

Yeah I still eat fruits for dinner. I agree that it might cause GD since it has high carbo! but my gynae said it is ok since baby is growing well and not too big. instead i need to cut down on western food T_T bye bye fries!
________
Just got back from my monthly gynae visits! Today is my 23 weeks 4 days and Zachary weighs 719g!! Dr Joycelyn Wong mentioned that average at this gestation age, baby should be around 600g. But he is always on the "plump" side haha. When he was 19 weeks 4 days, he was suppose to be around 275g but instead he was 338g.
Atfirst when I told her that I only eat fruits for dinner, she was a bit worried but after checking baby, she thinks that it is ok and possiby cut down a little bit on fried/oily stuffs/carbo because of his weight. But weird thing is, she didnt mentioned anything like fruits will have high chance to cause GD. Will check with her next month but nevertheless, I will cut down on carbo just to be safe.
During the scan, Zachary was stretching his neck and legs! Dr mentioned that he have long legs because this length was suppose to be average for 24 weeks 5 days. Same as his weight. Lucky so far his head's size is average and not too big, so should be ok to give birth naturally if he keep it this way.
Gained 1kg from pre-preggie weight so far. If add the weight I lost during first trimester because of poor appetite, it will be 4.4kg!! Haha, really must cut down on all those potatoes & cakes!

Sonor say de measurements r the same with her age..but my tummy still can hide behind a baggy tee eh...me alrey 25wks le wor...haha...hope bb is growing well n is just hiding well! Haha...
reira
EDD is just a date which the gynae estimate the arrival of the baby mah... it does not mean gynae think EDD is on a certain date, bb cannot arrive earlier... as such EDD can shift forward n backwards depending on bb development.. your gynae will be able to give u the best advice on when to give birth..
as for natural birth, you wait for the any of following signals:
1)contractions
2)bleeding
3)waterbag burst
if these does not occur after EDD, then prolly gynae will induce or wait depending on ur condition then.. which is why after 34/35 weeks, u see gynae weekly.
cherrios
baby gers tend to be smaller so dun worry... anyway tummy size does not matter de lar... most impt is the bb is growing healthly inside

hey girls. wanna ask.. if my doctor nv gimmie fish oil can i eat scott cod liver oil instead?
My tummy also seems small but bb is growing well. According to gynae if u r tall, then tummy will appear smaller cos got more space to stretch. I am 1.64 cm & many pp hv commented that my tummy looks small for 22 wks. Anyway now I refuse to let their comments bother me.
Personally I think my tummy expanded more sideways rather than to the front.

Finally the forum worked!!!

my gynae said average week 20 is 275g, 24 is 600g. 22 week roughly 430g from the calculation! so urs is still average. I am short (only 1.5m), so maybe thats why my tummy will be bigger compare to mommies who are taller? Because my body dont have the length for baby haha
dolcevita
yup mine is boy boy!
taslyn
oh! now i get it. actually till now i still dont get what is contractions! =( cos never had menstruation pain before
pink
ur gynae is totally right about the if mommy tall, tummy appear smaller! my body dont have the length for him to stretch, thats why my tummy is so big i guess haha.

This weekend was a really busy but satisfying one.
I finally got permission from hubby to buy baby clothes from babymallonline and Medela Freestyle breastpump!! (since we can move those items to PIL's house once I got them)
Plus, USD exchange rate is now only 1.5!
Total damage from Babymallonline: S$$221.22 (after 20% discount)
Total damage from Medela: S$525 (Freestyle, Breastmilk Feeding Gift Set, BM Storage bag 50s x2)
Expecting vPOST shipment damage to be S$130 & S$110. But still so much cheaper than buying from SG. Example: Bodysuit @ $3.50 each, Freestyle @ S$500 (with shipping)!!
Also, moved most of our stuffs to PIL's place and confirmed a confinement lady recommended by a March Mommy.

hi ladies!
finally the website is up again.
My boy is sick over the weekend so not sending him to sch today.
Janice
No, u can't take cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is very rich in Vit A and no good for the fetus. U can take Fish oil, like the brand Neurogain S from pharmacies. It's meant for preg women.
