2nd trimester is the easiest part of the journey coz not that big yet, movement still quite ok. Its last trimester which will suddenly grow very fast and it is so heavy. And all the problems like swollen legs etc come in.

Luckily I didn't have swollen legs and not much problem except for frequent contractions which were controlled by medication.

I have a good friend who had such a smooth pregnancy, no MS and no other problems all the way to delivery. And no GD considering she is overweight. Some ppl are so lucky. Others get things like serious MS until need to hospitalise, GD, swollen legs, placenta previa etc. So looking at all the common problems, I thought my 1st pregnancy was also quite smooth lah.

Yeah I also heard 2nd tri is "honeymoon" period. I was really looking forward to it, mostly b/c risk of m/c lowers drastically lor.

I think I have water retention.. my ring is so tight & my ankles look bigger. Maybe too much salt.

Miklyway,

Tt really scary… thank God every fine with you & baby…

But at times is pretty hard to control the vomit til gently. Its got push from our tummy one.


Princesss

I also little little pek chey.. cant control, at times I try to listen to music, but cant focus.


Argh… ytd I try to sleep but waken at 3am til 730am… zombie….. why ah, got insomnia during pregnancy one, oh middle of nite I vomited 3 times, all sour water EEERK

Bitsy,

Me suffering from heartburn.

Heartburn cant be help one. The only way is control food/water intake and sit sleeping lor.

Jul04,

The itch is killer too….. while I bath, whole body so painful due to all scratches.
 
jul> yah.. i hate the nausea.. lately very nausea whole day.. so sianz...
at least u have something to curb ur nausea.. sigh..

*shelled*

think u misunderstood what kiki is trying to say. She doesn't mean that if u did lasik when u are older, u will get presbyopia (lao3 hua1 yan3). Infact every1 will develop presbyopia by the time they reached 40 or later. So assuming we developed presbyopia at 40yo, u will get to enjoyed 15yrs of specs free life if u haf lasik done at 25yo. Bt if u were to get it done at 33yo, u can only enjoy 7yrs of specs free life la...
Bt it really doesn't matter when u do it loh, young or at an older age...most imptly ur power muz haf stabilised 1st. If already stabilised at 25yo, I see no reason why u haf to wait untill 30yo. On the other hand, if untill 30yo also haven't stabilised, do liao there are still chances myopia might developed again...

i added u...initial 'A' tats me...

*Jul04*

erhmm...u worried if after lasik still developed a lil myopia arh? Im nt sure if still can wear contact lenses. Bt can do an enhancement surgery loh...some pple a lil myopia actually don't need glasses also. U are still allowed to drive with a power of 6/12 without the use of vision aids...
 
hi, just received fb request from Jul, lxb, Stella and girly.
I also added crystalz.

lxb> think better don't travel. my gynae advised me for the 1st 3mths don't travel. After 3 mths, then its alright to do so..

crystalz> how come you need so many jabs?? u alright?
 
lxb
<blockquote>My gynae told me not to travel in the first and last trimester. She said that the issue is not the air pressure but the medical facilities of the country you're travelling to. I suppose if you wish to travel, you can travel in the 2nd trimester to a developed country.

mama to 5Js

oh ya.. saw ur scanning pics of bb #6 in FB, beri interesting n wat a gd idea...coz i keep the scanning pics of all my kids too. Bt my eldest's one beginning to fade liao. Was wondering why muz it be printed in thermal paper which fades easily. Nw i know i shld actually scan them n save them in CD or upload them...
 
mamijoan,
i haven't told anyone abt the pregnancy yet, except my husband and toddler (everynight before sleeping, i'll prep him that a new baby is about to join us soon). waiting to hit 2nd trimester when the pregnancy stabilizes before i announce it to my family and friends.

flower4,
were you the one who asked if steriod creams are safe during pregnancy? dun think any skin doc and gyne will refuse to prescribe/sanction the use of such creams. when i've asked, most of their reasoning is that they have to care abt the welfare of the mummies too. if because of the itch, mummies cannot sleep, stress, depression etc --> that's detrimental to the health of the mummy.

girly,
just to confirm, you are A*****a right?

mummies,
going to bed now! just finished packing my bag for a short overnight trip to malacca ... bringing my toddler along so gotta pack a backpack for him too! have a great weekend everyone =)
 
Flower, I don't know when exactly will the mummy she's helping in Aug actually deliver but a lot of babies are early (mine is 1.5 weeks early). So for those with EDD in late Sept, she may be able to take in. Anyway, I'm just helping a friend, if it's not useful info for you or preggie friends that you know, please ignore.
 
Hi mtbs,
I, the other way round. I must have chilli almost every meal or I will puke! I also take nasi lemak, curry, brajani and I will feel better. Fish still turns me off! For those who cannot stand fish, what I do I marinate the fish with a little salt,vinegar first for few minutes wash, pat dry and fried. After which put garlic, ginger, some chilli padi, spring onion and some black bean paste and stir fried. It tastes good without fish smell.
 
morning mtbs!!

babiesmeme: me 2! i prefer chilli at meals.. somehow improves my appetite.. i oso love nasi lemak!! i hav it for breakfast every weekend! smell of fish oso turns me off!! but i love e nasi lemak kunning fish... kekek...

yumyum.. cant wait for my breakfast to reach me.. ltr gg for gynae scan.. wonder hw big bb has grown nw at 8week 3 days..

btw, when i lie flat on my back n touch my tummy sometimes i feel a pulse leh.. dunno if it's my own pulse or baby's heartbeat.. but it's q slow leh.. read somewhere bb's heartbeat will b v much faster.. anyone knows?
 
me three!! I went Thai Express the other day cos' wanted something spicy and sour. Got the green curry and took some of the Tom Yam steamboat from my husband. It was really good. Satisfied my cravings. Hee, hee.

My MS seems to have tappered off. Not that I had bad ones - just nausea for some days. But now, I feel totally fine. Just need to eat crackers in between meals so that I don't get to hungry.

Rach, you might want to try something sour to help with your nausea? I feel that helps. So typical hor? Of pregnant ladies to eat sour things.

For those expecting number 2, how are you preparing number 1 for the arrival of baby? I really hope that my son will love the second one and not have the feeling of jealousy.
 
lilac: some of my frens who r having no 2 or had no 2 oredi, involve no 1 in selecting clothes etc for no 2.. parents oso buy no 1 toys telling them it's a gift from no 2..
 
*all*
thanks for all your concern. I feel much better also mainly because it's weekends and i don't have to report to work. I think i have phobia in that place cos of the jobscope. Really terrified! Can't wait to stop working. SIGH!

Some of you still have cravings to eat this and that.. i still have not much cravings and appetite.. each time i have to think of what i feel like eating.. and hopefully don't puke all out...

Hi MTB,

Currently i have completed my confinement. My confinement lady from confinement agency is a very hard working lady, she wakes up early in the morning to prepare the water for me to wash up, follow by cooking my meal and attending to my bb. Every alternate day, she help me mop the floor and wash my toilet, and wash/fold my clothes. So basically through out the month of confinement, my task is to nurse back my health.

What's more, the confinement agency also provide Jamu massage for Mummy. If you are not satisfied with the CL assigned, you can give the agency a call to change the present CL for another CL, the CL agency have alot of experienced confinement ladies to chose from.

Interested MTB, can email me at [email protected] for more detail.
 
Flower, just fyi, for the Jan08 mummies, most of our babies are early, some as much as 1 month. Only a few deliver on EDD or past EDD.

Hello gals! Anyone ard? Hehe here's the update for my week12 appt yest...

OSCAR
I did my OSCAR at the TMC lab. It was pretty fast except that Babylet was sleeping on its back when we first started. The tech had to shake my tummy with the u/s probe to wake it up. Then it started stretching its arms &amp; legs, &amp; straightening its back &amp; turning over. Haha so cute! But it was kind a stubborn lah, so I had to go out &amp; take the blood test then go back in again to scan the neck thickness.

Wah they drew 4 vials of blood leh! Think some is for the OSCAR &amp; the rest is for the blood test for those rubella, HIV etc. See liao wanna faint! hahaha

Anyway after that finally got to see the neck thickness! Wah the tech took so many measurements. She only took 1 for head &amp; 1 for thigh bone, but I think 10+ for the neck. Too bad I wun get the results till Mon pm. Brr.. a bit scraed/excited abt the results...
 


Gynae Appt

Yest I got all those fish oil &amp; pink pills. The fish oil pill is sooo big! And the pink pill is so heavy. Can die leh! And I'm one of those who generally have no probs swallowing pills. Can't imagine how to take if u r the cannot swallow pill kind.

I think this is bao ying for me! I kena calcium pills also coz I calcium-deficient. I', allergic to milk so I haven;t been getting enough calcium. Shucks! 3 pills per day! I see the pills all lined up on the table I also sian
