Susanna
Baby kicking : I'm not sure is it , cos once in a while when i'm at a certain position. I will feel somethin fluttering in my tummy too

Hugs to you. Know it is not easy for u. Try to vent it out here or with friends. When preggy & plus at such a stressful time, we do get abit worried & emotional.. So do take care & try to work things out with your boss.
Susanna/funny76/flower4
Think like all of us are facing some sort of problem at work. And we can't change job due to our stage. So it's quite obvious that pregnant ladies here are really facing discrimination in S'pore. Plus boss all frown when they learn that you are preggy....

Strollers
I agree with Susanna on light strollers. I got a combi which weighs only 4.2kg for my #1 almost 2 years ago. It looks flimsy but I handle it with one hand, throw it around and it is still in good working condition till today. The only thing is that it is getting too small for my 20 mth boy. I may need to get a larger one for him then use the Combi for the newborn.

Sad to say that it hasn't been a gd few days for me. I was down with cough since Fri, & it was worse during the weekend. Cudn't sleep properly coz the stupid cough kept waking me up. And I coughed so much that my tummy hurts. I hope it's just the ligament kena stretched stuff, rather than I did any serious damage to Babylet. Quite miserable now

Confinement lady:
anyone has booked CL already? anyone has tried to hire trained CL from TMC before?
Taka baby fair:
If u gals consider buying expensive items from Taka (e.g. baby cot, pump, stroller / pram), firstly better go and buy 2nd hand Taka vounchers which are sold at some discounts. that's a tip from my friend to save $$
Baby pram:
i'm using Capella, can't remember the model. usually Taka sells very expensive prams. do look out for sales at Carrefour, where i bought the pram at a much cheaper price
i'm going to see my gynae tomorrow, also see the results of NT scan last week

mamato5js,
like wat mamijoan mention, my boss is oso trying to lower the work expectation, always do short cuts kind and not hard ground, when got problem then he try to find ways to cover or rectify it, im not tat kind. i guess working style oso differ.
i dun mind if the problem are within my scopes , but its other depts problem, i keep helping them. which i feel is taking advantages of me, jus within my scope i already done beyond and they still wan me to do other depts jobs when i still struggling for my own duties.
i will try to lun til after maternity.. i guess i will forgo their course sponsorship, any way if fail i got to pay myself one, and need to sign bond..
im working for MNC, its really sucks, culture unlike mnc.my boss is angmoh , all these while i tot angmoh very thoughtful, i guess im wrong, they also slack & heartless
now its only mar09, sigh.. still got April,May,June,July & maybe mid Aug. to LUN. 4 & half months to LUN..

lxlb, it's normal for nausea to come back, at times I feel as fit as a bird and sometimes I feel lethargic and sick.
mamijoan, our mummies' cooking are the best! Yummy! Where did you get the tonics from? Last time I went to the "tonic" stalls above the bugis street hawker centre, very confused with all the brands/tonics and scared to become carrot head. Then I headed to Hock Hua and brought the tonics from there instead. EYS is a no no, I see the price and I feel like fainting already.
For ginseng, I heard from my frd that it's not so suitable for pregnancy. I google and found this info from the web
http://mental-health.emedtv.com/ginseng/ginseng-and-pregnancy.html
For cordyceps, I took it during my 1st pregnancy and it significantly improve my immune system as I was very prone to cough and flu during the 1st trimester and I think it benefits my ger too as she seldom have flu and cough *touchwood*.I heard it's very good for children too.
hui chern, The fluttering become quite obvious especially when I sneeze. Nvrmind I just take it as it is though it sounds v early wahahhaha
It's very hard to find job now so no matter what, we just have to ren...
One of my friend actually got terminated during her maternity leave and she complain this to MOM.
flower, you might like to ask the medical shops to recommend the tonics to you and you can recommend to us too..heehee..
Don't stress yourself too much, a KK nurse used to tell me to tell things easy and sometimes if we stress, it's not good for the baby.
If they wan to push everything to you, try to "taiji" away. Do whatever you can to not to feel so stress.
US MNC are not so pro employees like Jap Co. They are very result oriented and have no qualms to send away the staff if they underperformed their expectations.
Nonetheless dont think so much and try to rest as much as possible.
katherine, not sure about mutton but I am quite scared of the taste. Maybe u can check with your gynae.
jul, mama5 Hope both of u feeling better!! Take more water.
rach, The stroller looks good but a bit bulky, is it very heavy? I will prefer a lighter stroller to handle especially in shopping malls, going up and down of escalators, in the lifts
narrow lanes, through the busy crowd and also loading up and down the car boot.
Sometimes when I am taking bus, it's easy for me to fold and bring up the bus too. I second the Combi one that mamijoan mentioned, it's so handy that I can even carry it behind my back and carry my ger at the same time.
When my ger reach 1yo, I brought a umbrella stroller, it's even lighter at 3.2kgs and fits in the car boot easily and a breeze to handle. The bad point is can't fold down for the toddler to sleep.
For breastpump, I am actually looking at Avent manual pump, it works well for me with a easy and fast let down. However some mummies prefer electronics pump so it really depends on individual. I am actually looking forward
to the Avent and Pigeon bundle sales for the breastpump and milk bottles.
It's very crowded during the weekend so I will suggest to go there during weekday if you want to shop with ease.
Actually for mummies who been there, maybe can share with us whether there's any good buys then we will go down and see?
If you buy to a certain amount, you do not have to carry the heavy stuff home, they provide FOC delivery with a certain amount.
You can take a look at the stroller that you like and call and check the price with this baby shop. They have the most competitive rate and provide FOC COD delivery too!

yeah, I also quite worried of becoming carrot head. EYS definitely more expensive in my opinion so when buying these expensive stuff, I don't go to them. I usually go to Hock Hua. But this round, i bought from a TCM clinic in Jurong East near IMM. I consulted the doc in my last pregnancy and noticed that they sell some popular herbs so that day in Jurong just pop by to check out their prices. I think they are quite reasonable but actually these things very hard to compare especially bird's nest, got very different quality. I bought the golden type for $280 one liang. It looks very thick so I think the quality is good. Hock Hua got some bird's nest as cheap as $180 plus free this and that but quality is very different.
Cordyceps I bought those that cost $440 for one liang.
Flower, cordyceps can boil with black or normal chicken in soup. Can mix with Dang Shen, red dates. These are safe for pregnancy. For one person share, use abt 3 bundles of cordycep. Boil for abt 2 - 2 1/2 hours. The cordyceps can boil for 2 rounds so as not to waste. Let me know if you need more details.
Susanna, I also don't dare to take ginseng during first pregnancy coz I also read this information but surprisingly, it was the lady at the TCM clinic which recommended and I think it is with advise from the doc. A lady before me even bought it for eating during 1st trimester. I guess to be on the safe side I'll avoid it. Will just stick to cordyceps and bird's nest. how often to you drink it? I'm planning to take cordycep and bird's nest alternatively each weekend. Was just doing a rough calculation, the cordycep will cost me $88 each time and the bird's nest, $60 each time. So expensive!

Maybe u can keep the ginseng till after u deliver, coz prob after that u need to "bu" as ur body wud be weaker. For now, better to stick to the tried & tested things like birds' nest lor.
Actually this ginseng thing v subjective. Some pple say can eat, some say cannot. But best not to ask those medical halls which are selling the herbs. B/c they will surely say can eat as they want the sales mah. If can, ask some TCM doctor.

jul, dont feel worry about the fluttering, I highly suspect it's my imagination that it's bb kicking heehee..but then it makes me happy thinking about it lah..haha..
mamijoan, I do not know how to differentiate bird nest but the person recommended me was bird nest @ $130 per liang and cordycep was around $330 per bundle (I forgot how many liang) but then that was in 2006. Since urs is recommended by the professional, that is definitely good stuff!
For ginseng, there are 2 types - Americian and Korean ginseng. Maybe the one to be taken with Pregnancy should be the Americian Ginseng? Heard it's to "bu" qi.
I think it's safer for us to take during our confinement to bu qi.
I heard the price for cordyceps greatly increase in 2-3 folds, very ex now but as long as it's for babies, i feel it's worth it..heehee..
For 2nd trimester, I took it once every month, 2 weeks - bird nest once and cordyceps once. From 28 weeks onwards, I took cordyceps and birdnest alternate 1 week.
Alternatively, my mum also brew black herbal chicken soup.
One of my colleague is very good in brewing soups, she is saying she brew fish bone soup with papaya, pork ribs with watercress and alot which I couldn't rememeber. Maybe I check with her and share over here.

I didn't take cordyceps during 1st preg. Didn't know that it was so good then. 1 block is abt 1 liang. The clinic had one type which was $260 per liang and another type $440 and another $480. Not much difference between the latter two. Lady says the $480 is slightly bigger only. The $260 type can tell that it is not as good. Smaller and colour darker. The colour must be golden and the herb looks like a worm. Got fake ones around so gotta buy from reputable sources.
Yes, my mum also boiled black chicken soup and bird's nest on alternate weeks for me during #1. My mum also very good at boiling soup. Learnt from both her own mother as well as my father's side which is cantonese. I've also picked up some skills. Used to boil soup regularly before I had kids. After I had a kid, no more time to cook but I definitely hope to cook for my family again when the kids are older and can eat together.

mummies,
i'm suddenly feeling less hungry these couple of days, esp today. i don't have any MS and for the past few weeks, i was really constantly hungry and ate almost 5 meals a day (<u>must</u> take afternoon tea break and <u>must</u> take supper). the transition to 2nd trimester (i am between 11-12 weeks now) seems to be causing my body to slow down in its food intake. i had porridge for lunch and now i don't even feel like taking my afternoon tea break today.
chinese herbs
i didnt take any cordyceps or ginseng through the first pregnancy. tried birds nest once, but didnt like the taste, so didnt try it again.

<blockquote>I had good appetite in the afternoons during my 1st trimester, had 4 small meals in the afternoons, but kept puking in the mornings and evenings. In the end, I lost 1kg from wk8 to wk11. sigh. But my gynae told me not to worry. She scanned the baby and said that the baby is doing well.
My FIL has been making Bird's Nest for me once a forthnight and I've been taking chicken essence on alternate weeks. I heard that chicken essence is ok but some people said not to take Bird's Nest in the 1st trimester. But cos my in-laws mean well, so I just drink lah, don't want to disappoint them.

sheryn,
for first pregnancy with my boy, i took a lot of fruits and veg. for this pregnancy, i prefer stronger tasting food (like lamb chop and bah kut teh). maybe difference in baby gender = different food preference? heheee
