mamato5

I'm so sorry to hear abt ur boy. I'm sure u have heard all the normal condolences, but take comfort that your boy is with God now. *hugs*
 


mama5,

what a sad experience. But fortunately, you are blessed with kids before and after that. I'm sure your other children helped to keep you strong through that experience.

Will you feel like this current child is your 4th boy being given back to you?
 
thanks gals! thats why now i only wish for healthy baby. gender dooesnt matter to me. that aside, my gal has brought us so much joy. of course, she is the only gal at home and so pampered and can get away with murder!!! now i think she should be worried if she has a mei mei, cos her princess throne will be stripped off from her hehe....

mamijoan
yes yes, i agree with u thats the way to calculate ur gestation age. definitely not from date of conception. im just like u, have longer cycle than normal.
 
mamijoan
yes havg other kids help. when i was preg with my gal i was so fearful throughout my preg! gynae gotta keep assuring me that all is ok. i had a different gynae for my first 4 kids and i never did detailed scan, maybe thats why the heart prob wasnt picked up.

actually im more inclined to have a boy this ime round. u r right lor. in a way it will feel like i have my boy all over again. always look at my boys and feel that i am short of one son :p
 
would u believe it? i was so nauseous whole day didnt feel like eating then now suddenly so hungry and whacked 12 mini man tous at one time. now rushing my maid to cook faster so i can have my dinner.

pregnancies are so weird right?
 
mama to 5Js

Sad to heard that.Hugs...

Is your name Teni ?

All MTB,

So cute about the emo thingy haha. My DH experience it before i found out i was preggy haha. DH was like " What happened to you, your temper very bad leh " haha

Yesterday, i want to eat rojak, then he called say the shop closed. I sound angry haha then he said he go find other place find for me haha.

This 2nd preg i torture DH more haha cos 1st preg , my DD very easy no craving. This bb want to eat this, eat that hehe
 
mamijoan

Yeah that's how my gynae calculated for me too. I was sure I conceived on 12 Dec, & from measurement of Babylet, the gynae also cfm-ed. It's 2 weeks plus conception.

In case any MTBs out there is still confused, the LMP is used as a prelim gauge. AFter that, the measurement will tell u the actual EDD & no of weeks. So dun worry so much abt the LMP ok?

mamato5J

Haha so scary... 12 mini mantou is quite amazing!
 
hi mama to 5js,
Sad to know abt ur boy. Mus be shock and cant take it.. Luckily u r bless with one more kid v. Soon but i know is not easy to go thru that period of time. Sometime we really cant trust the doctor too much.. Yes, i agree health is most important than any gender thingy.. Thats why we must be very careful 4 whtever things we do and eat during pregnancy.. Jus tolerate for these 9 mths.. Its really worth it 4 baby health..
 
<font color="ff6000">Hui chern</font>
good for u la.. hubby willing to go around to buy u the food u feel like eating... kekeke.. my hubby also lucky la... i hardly have funny crave... its juz that I hate it that he always drag waking up.. must keep bugging him to wake up in the morning cos I hungry till i wanna die liao!! So now I gave up trying to wake him..I juz put my cereal beside my bed.. munch if i hungry in the middle of the night..den munch in the morning if I'm hungry.. &amp; guess wat.. hubby can be so dead asleep... he cannot hear all the munching sound wan leh... really buay ta han!

Think i too good liao hor? Mayb should abuse him abit..cos afterall he'll never go thru what I'm going thru lor!
 
mama to 5Js,

why do you feel you're more inclined to have boy this time round? are there signs that tell us gender this early? hehe... i would really like to know.
 
lol,

i think the hubbies can't comprehend our hunger part yet. maybe cause they can't see our big bellies yet, so they think we're bluffing! yesterday i woke up at 5.30am...was so hungry and had craving for guess what? macs sausage macmuffin!! i felt like i wanted to eat everything from big breakfast to pan cakes to hash browns.

tried to wake my hb up, he answered me "um...ok" then he fall back asleep snoring! keke... sian. so i juz slept off my hunger. then at 10am, he woke me up and said macs is here. at least he felt bad for not waking up and he remembered so he quickly ordered when he woke up! :p
 
Haha then I guess I'm quite lucky. Whenever I tell hubby I'm hungry, he will auto try to get me food from the kitchen or go out &amp; buy... Nowdays weekend I like to eat Mac's hotcakes *yummy*
 
haha dunno leh... but I will also pinch some of hubby's filet-o-fish too, for some sourness &amp; savoury taste to balance the sweetness haha
 
Talking about cravings, before I tested positive, there was a day I had a craving for roasted chicken the whole day. However, didn't get to satisfy my craving. Later found out I was pregnant so i think the craving is because of the pregnancy.

In another of my pregnancies, I suddenly had a craving for Tonkatsu, something that I had never liked before. Also, I later found out I was pregnant. Haha.
 
<font color="ff6000">kiki</font>
ur hubby so nice lor.. at least can remembered wat u said at 5:30am leh... try my hubby's memory man! worst den dory fish!

for me... sometimes i do crave for certain food.. like mee siam... den ah kun kaya.. this &amp; that.. but den yet again.. my crave goes off very quickly if i see fruits.. kekeke..

<font color="ff6000">all mummies</font>
u all think hor.. at this time huh.. drink &amp; eat alot of papayas will give my airport runway a second chance or not huh?? heehee.. was hoping to get bigger bumps leh.. best is that big till i cannot see my toes! hahahaha
 
Hi kiki.. i used to wake up 2-3x per nite to rush to the toilet b4 i know i was expecting but not anymore now... sometimes 1x or none at all...
 
mama to 5Js
Haha, saw you in other forum before so i guessed.

tiffy
Is this your 1st BB ?

I don't care ,this time i got craving i will tell him. Last time, didn't torture him. Now must take the chance haha
 
mama to 5Js, sorry to hear about ur story but i think ur baby now is a god send to compensate the loss. Treasure it...

i dont have cravings now but quite fickle minded only... wanted to eat mac hotcakes this moment then as me and hubby were walking to mac, i changed my mind to fried bee hoon... haha.. then was still thinking about the hotcakes and i keep switching.. in the end we had fried bee hoon. Hubby was puzzled by me but lucky he did not flare up...

<font color="ff6000">Joanne</font>
so far i was told by gynae to avoid caffeine.. den some fish that was mentioned in earlier post...other den that i wasn't told wat not to eat leh...But its good to take more green veggies cos green veggies got folic...
 
Hi all MTB,

Congrats!

Hope I am not too late to report here.

This is my 2nd and hope it's a boy this time, cos 1st one already a girl.. hee...hee...

My first pregnancy I very blur blur one. Doc say what I just follow and have no obj. This time I hope to learn more from all of you here.

Went for my first appt last week and gynae cfms my pregnancy.

BTW, can anyone tell me how accurate is the EDD date from the scan by the gynae?

Anyone here going to Dr Lawerence Ang too?

Hope everyone here have smooth and happy pregnancy

Cheers
 
mamijoan,

for some people stuff they usually dun like to eat, they will suddenly love to eat it. but for me, it hasn't happened yet. i still have the same likes and dislikes for food.

tiffy,

i think better not eat too much papayas. read that its not too good leh. apparently can cause m/c **touchwood*** if eat too much. if i remember correctly its papayas and pineapple. eat a bit/moderately is ok.
 
talking about veggies. is it ok to eat salad ah? its raw isn't it? i remember my gynae said cannot eat raw things like sashimi or mid-rare beef. but salad can or not? anyone can advise? i forgot to ask him about this... cause i love to eat salad.
 
hi moomoo,

congrats and welcome!!

i think as you go along further, sometimes the edd will change to a more accurate date.

how many wks are you now?
 
joanne,

7 wks i think should be able to see via U/S tummy scan. dun worry, i don't think the gynae will do a V scan again unless very necessary.
 
Hi,

I paid S$168 for my first consultation and scan. I think it's alot more exp compare to my first gynae. Anyone here with Dr Lawrence Ang also? How much did you pay?
 
hey all mummies.. i juz found this online.. so tot of sharing.. its about wat herbs to avoid during pregnancy...

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/PrairieLadyHerbs/

no wonder my cousin asked me to avoid cabbage..

<font color="ff6000">Kiki</font>
me now stopped eating raw veggies liao... normally i steam or lightly stir fry the veg.. eat warm la.. dun cold cold wan..

hmm... i also read saying that if wanna eat papaya.. must eat those very ripe ones.. if not its cooling.. think i check with gynae on the
9th.. juz to be safe ya...

<font color="ff6000">MooMoo</font>
thanks for the sharing!
 
moomoo,

i saw dr ang for my 1st visit. that time kan cheong so juz found one near our home and just went there. i was charged i think $149. i think yours $168 coz you took the pills from him is it? or was your consultation a long one?

after that i changed another gynae. we (hb n myself) felt that dr ang isn't the right doc. for us. my current gynae is way more experienced but also estimated 3x more ex then dr ang, if i count everything from day 1 consult till his package activates only in wk 15 (i think if i remember correctly).

if u eventually take dr ang's package, which starts from day 1, its $550. in my opinion, thats very cheap.

who was your 1st gynae? how come never go back to him / her for your 2nd pregnancy?
 
To all mummies,
thank you for your good reply on the brand of milk. I asked my gynae and he said 1st trimester dont really need milk, more important in 2nd trimester onwards. But anyway no harm taking. I have been having naseous since friday till today, dizzy and vomiting. i think something to do with the milk which I cannot take and the smell make me puke. I am switching to HL milk MARIGOLD and MEJI milk but was afraid it is too cooling for the womb? dont know how le? Tempted to try SIMILAC mum or Annum haha
 
babiesmeme,

you leave it out to cool down to more room temp before drinking lor. this way it won't be too cold.

anmum got choc flavour. i think easier to drink than the normal milk flavour.
 
hi babysame,
Try ammum.. Glad to see u today.. Hey can advise me my question asks u yesterday? Btw,u do viginal or tummy scan that day? Is ur menses regular? Always after 28days?
 
hi ladies,
I thot they say papaya is gd 4 pregnant woman,got alot of vitamin?i jus took 1pc yesterday and today.. Oh no, why the more i read, the more things i cant eat?? Ever read cannot eat cake, no cheeze,no icecream,no miyonnise as got raw egg, no frosted meat means no burger lor, no kfc, no all fastfood, no chilli, no cold food and drink, no raw food, no sharkfin, no tuna, no sashimi, no stingray, no pineapple, no orange, now no papaya.. Diaoz.. Think we can 4get abt food, eat plain porriage and apple will do.. Haha.. Anymore list to add on? Las time i pregnant didnt know much..except the basic cooling dont eat.. Blurblur pregnant, blurblur give birth...hee hee..
 
joanne,

you very cute. hehe.. i think for me everything can eat lah..in moderation. except for raw stuff like sashimi.

but today my MIL told me cannot eat mutton. i ask her why? she said its dirty? doesn't make sense to me leh. i still intend to eat my favourite mutton satays, very most eat lesser lor.

i think for milk related products like cheese and mayo. as long as its pasturised its ok. but i think my hb said blue cheese cannot eat at all.
 
Hi Joanne,

wow.. this thread is moving fast ar.. cant catch up. heehee

sure.. dun mind share with u my story on first birth..

my bb actually not due.. but i went for induction.. as i cant stand the itchness on my tummy anymore. its soo bad till my tummy all red n swollen.. pretty bad.. think i m suffering from some of skin prob.. so i went for induction.. after induction.. admitted to hospital n wait for cervix to open (am opting for natural).. unfortunately.. after waiting for more than 10 hours.. still stuck ar 4.5cm..
doc wong told nurse cant wait anymore as the bb is putting pressure on my bladder.. causing my bladder to bleed. than no choice went for emergency c-section.. (the bill came up at more than 7k!) this happens for failed natural than emergency c-section.

doc wong did stitches on my wound..for me i m scare of pain.. so i only started moving on 2nd day..

overhealing means than instead of a nice line on ur stitches.. the skin kinds of over lap n a thick red line appears instead.. this is a result of not letting ur wound rest n u move too much.. ;(

hope my story helps..;)

but can i ask why are u opting for c-section n not trying for natural.. as usually she will encourage natural.. but still depends on how big ur bb is in the end..
 
Kiki,

thanks for reply. Yah, I took folic acid.

My first gynae was Dr Tham in AMK. He is a very patient gynae but he only goes KKH. When I was around 37 weeks I change gynae b'cos I don't want to go KKH b'cos heard that the service is very bad. I gave birth in MT.A for my first child and the gynae charge me S$2,000 for just the delivery, exclude the last 3 consultation without scan which he charge around S$80 for each visit.
 
haha... Joanne
like you I always try to avoid food that pple say to avoid. The more I hear/read the more food I see we pregy cannot eat.
 
hi mama to 5Js (blessedmommy), my situation is like urs! i will feel so bloated n pukey in AM.. come dinner time i can have all sorts of cravings!!

else i can hav these cravings during lunch n eat nuttin at all during dinner..

i was q shocked.. i can eat breakfast at 10am, lunch at 12pm then dessert at 2pm!!

and i look forward to "discovering" my craving for the day.. sumhow i seem to b able to eat more if i'm having my craving..

but my cravings r not so healthy leh.. like hotdog n buns, hokkien mee, nasi lemak, subway sandwiches..
 
joanne
cos of what happened to my boy. became quite paranoid during my preg with my gal and this preg too esp first trimester. keep thinking what i did wrong that caused my baby not to have perfect organs.

hui chern
do u mean baysupplies forum? do i know u then?

cho
just now aft dinner i also felt nausea again even till now still a lil pukey!! hope tomo will be a better day ya
 
Hi San,
I want natural birth but I worry what if bb very big like my 1st one... 3.75kg and my pelvis is not that big enough for his head to move down so no choice lor... I am upset that why my previous gynea didn't check and tell me all this.. and end up got to go into emergency c... :-( So knowing that Jocelyn is pro-natural, I am very happy.. hope can try natural too.. but worry my 2nd one will be bigger than 1st one as I had ate alot than my 1st pregnancy... oops... that's why check with you whether is Joycelyn Wong's stiches good?? Is she using a thread that will melt itself, no need remove stiches... no stapler hor?? So there is possiblities that I may need to go thru c-section again.. :-(

Hi kiki,
Hee.. yalor... but I do heard of don't eat too many goat meat as it will cause "Yang(2) Dian(1) Feng(1)" on the kids... sound scary so I will rather avoid totally... anyway, I don't like mutton.. heng ah...Also, if too much crab will cause your kids to be like a monkey... climb up and down until u r tired looking after him.. I think this is quite true... as I dont take crab meat in my 1st pregnancy so my boy is so much easier to look after though he is a boy.. 2 of my relatives take alot of crab meat, their boy is very mischievous... keep climb up and down until the adult very tired to take care them.. so I rather sacrifice myself abit than to suffer in future...keke...

mama to 5Js,

i must have missed out your post when you mentioned your 4th boy. felt very sad when i backtrack and read your post. you've been very brave.

do you mind if i ask who was your gynae then for your #4? did you ask your gynae back then, why the condition was not discovered during the pregnancy? was it impossible to detect?
 


joanne,

my chinese not very good. whats yang(2) dian(1) feng(1) mean in english?

oh no, crab meat also cannot eat? die lah... chilli crabs is something else i can't live without.
