(2009/09) September 2009 MTBs

hi cincin,
Fr ur own experience,hows the clothes material u bought at coozfasion? Do we hv to pay 4 any delivery charge? If buy already,dont like.. Can exchange? Keke.. Sorry 4 asking so many questions. As i like the clothing there and pricing is reasonable too.. So thinking of getting it.

Hi ladies,
A very happy niu year to all. May all of us hv a smooth pregnancy and smooth delivery in this moo moo yr.. And healthy babies too.. Enjoy ur new yr and to rest well!
 


Joanne

Wish you have a wonderful year ahead

My friends and me bought from them few times already. So far, material are as good as I can see from the photos. I think they have a promo going on with S100 purchase, free delivery. But not sure still have or not. Or you pay S1 per item.

So Far I haven't changed any from them, so not sure about the exchange policy.
 
hi cincin,
Happy niu yr to u too.. Ya,i see their maternity clothes cute and not that expensive too. Think mostly is freesize.. So not so worry whether can fit or not.
happy.gif
will try purchase fr them at maybe ard 2nd trimester.
Hi ladies,
May i know around wht ww u all start to wear maternity clothing le.. Worry too early then paiseh..
 
<font color="ff0000">Mama to 5Js</font>,
Yes! It really is me! Isn't this the funniest? Hee hee, my eyes almost popped out when I saw your posts! So happy that we'll be going through this again together! Yup, I'll be coming back in two weeks and I'm just counting the days down now. Seeing the gynae immediately when I get back. But PF and I are just itching to see if the bb is ok, so we're going to do a private scan on Tuesday. HEE HEE HEE! That'll be the 1st time we'll be seeing bb. Can't wait. ;)

<font color="ff0000">Cincin</font>,
Thanks for the link! I see something that I also like! Oh dear... here I go, buying things again. Yeah I agree with you, the wait can be quite long.

<font color="ff0000">Law She</font>,
Hey no worries about sharing.
happy.gif
Yeah, you can do it! BFg is really easy once you get through the 1st month. Hopefully your workplace is BFg-friendly and your colleagues are understanding.

<font color="ff0000">New MTB</font>,
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I feel better after puking too. But the before-puking feeling is the worst in the world. I absolutely hate it. This entire MS-thingy is so much worse compared to my 1st one. It took me completely by surprise.

<font color="ff0000">Joanne</font>,
Oooh, I think I started wearing maternity clothes around week 20 or so??? But this time will be very different becoz I started out already having a kangaroo pouch! -__-
 
hi joon,
Where r u currently?Ya,i think i got to start earlier too as is my 2nd pregnancy.. Already got tummy..keke.. Ok,maybe i shd re phrase my question.. For 2nd pregnancy mum,how many ww u start to wear ur maternity clothes liao? I already can see a tummy even though only ww6..especially when at nites,it is even bigger.. Skirt all getting tight.. Want to try hide until after 1st trimester.. Hopefully can still wear my office attire till ww12 but i think abit diffcult..how abt u gals?
 
hi i am urs,
Wht happen?wht did u do that result in spotting?See whether ur spotting persist.. If keep hv,then better go kkh a&amp;e dept.. Take care..
 
i_m_urs
dun panic first. if spotting is one off thing, then prob harmless but if continuous then good to go kkh and have a scan. at least for a piece of mind. update us ok.

JOON
haha.. im sure u and PF are eager to see the lil one! wow private scan? sounds so sophiscated! haha...

i think after several post preg pouches i need to start wearg maternity earlier! haha... i just praying that i dun have to wear it soon, like in first trimester! i get hungry so easily then i will whack all my food and after that i feel nauseous and feel like puking and the cycle goes on and on like that everyday!
 
joanne, mama to 5Js...
i went kkh 24 hr clinic... did a scan n check, gynae at a&amp;e say no fresh bleeding... she only can see the baby's waterbag... cant see the baby or the heartbeat... but she claims the waterbag's growing
sad.gif

2 weeks ago also only baby's waterbag... argh... any mummies facing the same issue??

now i hv postpone to my appt with my gynae to 2 weeks later... suppose to hv an appt on wed...
 
cincin, have u got anything from the website u recommended??? any feedback?? i quite like the range available at old navy, guess my shopping there will start soon.

Joon, i wish to BF my bb for the 1st 6mths and i definitely hope the company and colleagues are gd enough in this aspect.

i_m_urs, hope everything is fine for u, rest more if possible
 
i_m_urs
do u know how many wks r u in now? usually by 6 wks u shld be able to see heartbeat unless urs is a late conception. i have frd who only manage to see bb heartbeat at 7 weeks. my advise is to call up gynae clinic early on wed morn (if ur appt is not the first one) and check with them if u shld proceed with ur appt?
 
joanne, mama to 5Js...
by calculation from LMP, i m at week 7... but my conception could be late, coz my ovulation might not be on day 14...
i hvnt seen the kkh gynae before... but the a&amp;e gynae claims that the pregnancy is still going on as the waterbag did grow from scan 2 weeks ago and yesterday...
will be seeing my kkh gynae 2 weeks later...
 
<font color="ff0000">Joanne</font>
Oooh, me too. I hope to start in the 2nd trimester, or later! Definitely in no rush to flaunt it, haha. I'm in the UK right now, but going back to SG in 2 weeks. Can't wait to eat "proper" food again, tee hee.

<font color="ff0000">Mama to 5Js</font>
Haha! I know exactly what you mean! Just had a big chinese new year dinner with some friends... happily whacking away the roast duck, braised pork etc etc... now feeling quite ill. UGH. But I still want to eat the vanilla cupcake (with lots of frosting) sitting in front of me now! *oink* No lah, it's not sophisticated at all. Here, they don't do scans at all until week 12, and they don't see gynaes at all, just midwives throughout the pregnancy, unless complications arise. But we want to at least SEE the baby first before flying, so bo pian, have to go the private route and get a scan done that way.

<font color="ff0000">i m urs</font>
I'd have done the same as you and gone to see the doctor for peace of mind. No harm just checking I say. If the clinic said everything is ok, then I wouldn't worry.
happy.gif
Don't stress yourself out over it ok? Think happy thoughts for little bb!
happy.gif
Everything will be fine! Take care of yourself and rest well okay?

<font color="ff0000">Law She</font>
6 months is a good target! ;)
 
i m urs
yes most impt is waterbag is growing, which is good! i tend to ovulate late too cos my cycles are always erractic!! so dun worry too much. im sure ur lil bb will want you to trust him/her that she/he will be growing fine inside u
happy.gif
have lots of rest and think positively
happy.gif
 
hi i am urs,
Dont worry too much.. As i oso hasnt did my scan until ww 7 and 2days.. My 1st scan will be on 3rd of feb as fr my blood test,doc say no need scan too early. So since ur waterbag is growing,everything shd be fine.maybe is really too early since u may hv ovaluate late... If after 2wk,isnt it going to be wk9 that u gonna do ur 1st scan?
Hi ladies,
Do u encounter once or twice water discharge per day? I am abit..that is can feel abit of water comes out fr ur viginal? Wonder is it normal?
 
mama to 5Js,

sad.gif
 
hi i am urs,

Joanne/I_m_urs, i am in the similar situation.. few relatives were asking me abt family planning i just have to brush off the topic.. worst still, my own mum was telling my hubby to work hard... hahaha... feel like laughing but gonna control...

I just smile lor... cannot say anything..
 
Hi Joanne and all,
I'm new to this tread. I did IVF with Dr loh sf from kk and got bfp. I did bt last friday hcg - 523 on 17 dpo. I also didn't experience any nausea. Is this normal. I think I should be early wk 5.
 
i am urs
hey good that the spotting has stopped. u shld be at ease now! i also had spotting before, one day thing, so its normal.

joanne
u mean water discharge or vaginal discharge?

kaira
hi! no nausea is normal too! not everybody has the same pregnancy symptoms. i didnt have nausea till recently only, at week 7.
 
mama to 5Js...
spotting came back in the evening... discharge with streaks of bld...
sad.gif

hubby decided to keep tml's appt, and speak to the senior consultant to c what's the prob...

hoping everything will b fine...
 
Joanne, me too. Relatives kept urging me to have number 2 as well. I just replied saying very soon liao. Feel that its better to wait till a little later into the pregnancy then say.

i m urs darling, hope everything will be fine. Do update us about your condition after the checkup.

joon, actually, I much prefer to have midwives check wor.... maybe because I had a really good experience with an American midwife previously so that's why prefer midwife. Felt that their checks are less invasive. But then again, gynea are good too =)

I don't have MS as well.. Actually, life goes on as normal for me. Very thankful for that though as times I do fret over the lack of mS... Hmm... very contradicting hor? Just hope that the checkup on feb 19 will go well. By then, I should be around 10 weeks liao. So, should be able to detect heartbeat.
 
Hi gals! Hope u all had a gd CNY
happy.gif


I am urs, hope u are feeling better. It's good to just go &amp; see the gynae to check out for your own pc of mind, if not anything else. Try not to worry too much ok?
 
got quite a lot of the "have another baby" talk this new year too. And my grandma keeps wishing for a grandson so they were talking about all the ways to "help" my next one be a boy...turning the pig stomach, my aunt's bb full month cake must give white flower for boy. If want girl then give red flower...:p Anyway, at the moment only hb and i know (and my good friend at work) and we won't be saying anything till gynae confirms it this friday. Went for 2 scans but both we only saw the watersac, so EDD still not confirmed.

Oops, just saw that not supposed to take too much liver. Ate loads because of the steamboat. Hope everything's ok. Then my duphaston also ran out already. Argh, it's gonna be a looong wait, already been almost 3 wks since the last scan.
 
maternity wear:
there is a shop at Ang Mo Kio Central that sells cheap materinity wear, but the material not as good as Spring or Perfect Mum etc. last time i bought top at $20+ and pants at abt $30.

i started to wear maternity pants at around 3 months pregnant as tummy grew out of my normal pants :p

maternity bra:
i bought from Perfect Mum, very comfortable.

i_am_urs: go ahead with appt with gynae, don't postpone. in the meanwhile rest well.
 
Hi waiwai

How much did u pay for the maternoty bras at Perfect Mum?

I bot some new bras in bigger size, but seems that they might be outgrown in a few weeks wor.
 
hi mama to 5j,
How u differenate viginal discharge and water discharge? I thot viginal discharge will hv abit of mucus.. I just feel abit wet on my panty..no mucus at all. U hv so many experience,pls advise me is this normal?i am worry.. Oh.. U experience vomit only at wk7.. I very contradicting.. Hope to hv ms then will feel more assure that i am safe and oso maybe having daughter.. And yet i know ms is very terrible..if dont hv ms then maybe is boy.. Also gd as no need buy so many clothes as can wear his brother one..keke.. Healthy most important to me!
Hi kaira,
5wk plus is still early.when is ur edd? U mus be very happy to see bfp after going thru so much.. Did u strike after go thru 1st ivf? Congrat to u..
Hi i am urs.
Ya,better go check with doc so that u can feel more relax.. Do update us wht doc say later.. Take care..
 
joanne
i only experienced vaginal discharge before but not water hehe.. thats why wanna make sure its the same as mine not cos i never heard of water discharge unless u got incontinence or water bag leakage which is highly impossible. for me i always have discharge during pregnancy. not so much of mucous though just normal whitish discharge (sorry i know sounds v gross!) gynae always say normal leh. whats not normal is when u feel burning sensation/itch/foul smelling then u better go for those bacterial test or at times its fungus or yeast which can be cured by medication.

haha... tell me about it! i long for a daughter for many many years! and i only got it after 4 sons!! but all my preg whether its boy or girl, all same symptoms!! i never had ms, at most nausea. but i know what u mean. if u got ms, then u feel REALLY pregnant right haha... yes lah, healthy baby is most impt.

hi stephanie and mama to js.
So u all oso like kids christian name to be start with J too.. Me too..as my ds christian name is call javier due to his chinese 1st name is call jun so want to snd similar..
Hi mama to js,
Thks 4 ur explanation.. Think is not waterbag water as jus abit wet only.. Nvm, as long not spotthng, i not so stress. Will wait till my scan on next tues (really cant wait,keep counting dn) then asks my gynea.. Thk u..
 
MS can be quite irritating. I started at 5wk with nausea and a bit of vomitting in the late afternoon but in wk6, i started feeling nauseating the whole day. It was quite terrible cos I didn't want to let my relatives know about my pregnancy yet so I had to tahan and put on a smiley front the entire CNY. Then when I went home, straight away to the toilet to puke. So pathetic. My hubby is very nice. He excused me from some visitations cos I was feeling so terrible by evening.

<blockquote>what about Jolene or Joanne?</blockquote>
 
tiffy

regarding your 5 "NOs". hmm... i try not to carry heavy things of coz. i also gave up coffee and english tea totally, i was drinking green tea, and that also kanna ban by my hb. he claims green tea also got caffine?? grrrr... occassionally, i still drink the can ice lemon/peach tea. i think that should be ok? since i stopped drinking coke, i drink this instead, i hope its ok. singapore's weather so hot! if no cold drinks at all, i think i might melt. keke..

regarding no squatting. i heard people said this, but for me boh pian. i got a dog, so i definately gotta squat to wash the toilet floor or clean the newspapers. i juz make it quick lor, like when i scrubbing the floor, i don't use too much strength and very most squat for like 10mins only. my hb is tries to help out as much as possible too. but i'm thinking...while i still CAN do it, i'd do it because once the belly comes out in 2nd trimester, you wanna squat and bend down also got problem!

logically thinking... squatting shouldn't be THAT BAD bah. in olden days, they don't have sitting type toilets, then don't the pregnant ladies back then also squat to do business? kekeke... i think its more the squat and do what thats the problem, so more on exerting too much strength. so juz watch how hard you scrubbing floors, don't exert too much lor.
 
mummies...
went to the gynae... he saw the scans, the water bag growth is slower than he expect... conclude either still early pregnacy, or it has stopped...
sad.gif

went for bld test, going back on fri for another bld test... mon will go for another scan...
 
rach

sahm means 'stay-at-home-mum'.
happy.gif


i'm seeing dr kc goh now. i find that his examination was much through. i went to him only 6 days after dr ang and this time i could see the heartbeat. when he could not see clearly the heartbeat from the tummy ultrascan, he proceeded to do a V scan for me automatically. from there, we could see the heartbeat
happy.gif
while he was doing the V scan, he also took the liberty to check whether i have any fibroids.
 
mama to 5Js

wow! you're only 32 and now mtb for #6??? hey... you dun get to say you're lao liao okie. hehe.. i'm older then you by the way! so you're considered young still hor! :p
 
i m urs

sad.gif
perhaps you should seek a 2nd opinion from another gynae? sometimes i feel that if there is a 'complication', another opinion will be good. unless you totally trust the current one you're seeing.

by the way, the blood test you're going for is to check for what ah? i realise that some of the ladies are also going for blood tests? i've not gone for any yet. should i be doing any at this stage? because my gynae never advise yet so i also didn't ask. but i read that the 1st blood test is normally done at 3mths (so that should be at wk12?).
 


Ladies, thks for your reply.

Hi Joanne,

I think this friday then is my 5th week. heehee. Count wrongly. Ya thats my 1st ivf . But I haven let gynae scan yet, just did blood test, so still kind of worried.

Btw, have you all experience any arching pain at the two upper bones of buttock. I feel arching pain since I tested positive
happy.gif


Hi kiki,
I like your squatting type toilet. Makes a lot of sense. heehee

So envy all of you already have so many kids. I'm still trying very hard for my no. 1.
