So yours is a boy! Congrats to you!

I have to wait til 16 Apr 20 wks scan to hopefully find out the gender. Gynae already says the smaller babylet is likely to be a girl. But bigger one refused to let us see b/w the legs.

Btw you mentioned next is FA scan. What does FA stand for?
 
jul

I oso still having MS. Jus now I try eat banana see it help my constipation.. I feel so nausea &amp; wana vomit out. ☹
YTD is realy scary. My hubby say my lower back VEIN ALL SHOW OUT.. see how hard I push.. now my lower back still very sore and my anal too

I duno am I ready for epidural, the needle and afraid its might hurt my other nerve. My lower back hav degenerative disc and the disc burge and touch some of my nerve, and occasional I will get real backache. So im unsure about epidural.

itsy
My neighbour ask me not to eat yellow noodle leh, say will cause jaundice,duno how true.

Katherine
why dun take medicine, den how to recover. The sooner u recover u less suffer mah. U suffer bb oso struggle leh. Like flu, u can breath much, its will affect bb oxygen anot?

mamato5js
Congrats for knowing ur bb gender.

jUL

wonderful, u have BB BOY!!!! I oso wan bby BOY DUST.

princessxiaomei
its good tat u still able to keep the milk down u noe. For me b4 preggie, im love milk so much but after preggie.my body reject. whenever i drink milk immediately i wil vomit ☹

RE : can preggie mummies soak on hot tub / jazzcuzi?

My whole body is super tired and painful, tired but cant sleep kind. Very restless and stressful

So I tot of soaking myself in hot tub water/jazzcuzi, can we ?
 
JUL
just as i guessed u have a boy too! wow really so many boys. girly, we all rub and drown u with our baby boy dust lah!!!

whitey
my younger twin caught up with the kor kor's weight when he was 5 mths old. in fact he looked chubbier then. after that they always had almost equal weight all these while till recently the older twin kept putting on weight ever since started p1! now they r 10kg apart can u believe it??

i will try upload their pics when im free. cos the photos are all in my other lappie.

flower
i think u cant soak in hot tub leh. i read somewhere that hot water of abt 38 deg is not good for foetus development so u shld know that sauna is out too. but im not sure abt jacuzzi i guess if a while no harm lah. i know how relaxing it is to have hot bath esp when ur body is aching. maybe u use warm water and not too hot?

wow ur constipation sounds bad hor. dun eat bananas will make it worst. try papaya an yes, prune juice. but i dislike prune juice myself. if not try fybogel.
 
mama to 6Js

haha..thanks thanks
happy.gif
 
flower.. dun use hot tub, jacuzzi and steam bath.. pregnant lady cannot use all this okie.. if u really want.. go find some places where they specialize in massage for pregnant lady.. I know rustic nivana( think wrong spelling :p) have.. but last time i asked they recommend do after 5 months.. u can call and ask again.

din take medi cos i remm someone did mention for flu, can only take one ytpe of medi starting w 'T' something? but my GP gave me the normal type tt i ate last time so i rather just drink more hot water n rest..

Jul, congrats ya! hehe.. 3 more sats for me to find out.. waiting..waiting.. waiting..

happy.gif


Hope that all of u who want boys / gals will get ur wish respectively yeah?

Hmm I guess boys tend to show up earlier coz their sexual organs are more defined. Was it cho who posted the hamburger &amp; turtle photos? Mine really looks like turtle leh!
 
whitey

Oh Twin B prob a gal huh? So exciting to have twins hor? Coz got 2 growth speeds, one hiding the other, then soon u will see them kicking each other. So cute!
 
delfine

Got scan for free one meh? Over here I get charged for every single scan lor. Hey I notice ur gynaes aws female one hor?
 
whitey

Oops m issed out ur qn.

FA scan = fetal anomally scan (if I rem correctly ;p) = detailed scan.

Usus done ard 20 weeks to check organs, hands, feet, toes,.. basically to make sure devt ok, no structural defects such as cleft lip etc.
 
flower

Um.. sorry I dunno the name of the thing to drink for constip. I just saw my coll had this white bot on her table when she was preggie. It's an emulsion that u shake &amp; drink. Think u ask from GP / gynae they shd know what u're talking abt lah.
 
re: jacuzzi/steam bath

I asked gynae abt this tdy. She said that can go in but only for a while. Basically use own body as a gauge.. if feel unwell, like wanna faint, come out immed. Roughly the temp shd be ard 37degC only b/c that's the temp BB is at in our body, so that shdn't cause much harm. But not hotter than that.
 
Jul

I see, so the FA scan refers to detailed scan. That means my detailed scan will be done at my next appt on 16 Apr @20 weeks. Need to wait, wait wait again.

But in a way our appts are like milestones... with each appt means we're in the next mth and so on.

So we know your hubby was hoping for a gal. What are your feelings about babylet being a boy? No wonder babylet was doing headstand that time! *haha* so cute and playful lil boy babylet!!
 
Mamato6Js

Now your twins weigh 10kg apart? Wow... that just shows especially for fraternal twins, each are their own individuals and they are really like siblings who happen to share the same 9months in mummy's womb.

Yes yes please post pics when it's convenient for you, k? =)
 
flower4

Update us ok after your scan today!

Now so exciting everyone finding out each others' baby gender. We're all graduating from 1st tri together.

Btw your constipation sounds really bad, especially the part about the veins showing out on your lower back!

Actually, before pregnancy I also have a bad back. So I'm really wondering what's in store for me with respect to backache later in this pregnancy. Please don't let our backaches tekan us badly, please let it be bearable.

I'm also wondering about the use of epidural. Cos heard so many people say that using epidural will cause us to have backaches later in life, not sure how true that is.

Epidural - not sure but one of my lecturer whom was experience nurse did mention that epidural if possible avoid it as it gives more cons then pros.
There isn't proved that epidural causes backache but generally the side effects are more..
Like most of my frens having epidural do complain of backaches but i din use any also have back aches many factors add in would cause diff effect..
Recent case one fren given birth with epidural, she had fever, shivering and need vaccum to pull the bb out as she can't push it out. The only best part is she dun feel pain.. but she had these side effects giddy etc...
But no all pple will have got to weight ur own..
 
whitey

Hey my next appt is on 17 Apr, just 1 day after urs leh.

Yup, I agree totally. Every appt, there's something to look forward to. My first was to test for heartbeat, 2nd was kena spoting, 3rd to check everything ok, 4th was OSCAR &amp; end of first tri, now it's finding out gender. But hor, I think after 5th mth, nothing much to look forward to, except growth &amp; making sure Babylet din tangle itself etc liao. More focus on safety &amp; devt &amp; coming to birth lor.

Hmm.. I have mixed feeling. Being a gal, I wud want a gals so I can connect better. With a boy, I feel a bit insecure coz I dun really know how to dress him, what games o play etc. I may look spory but I v weak &amp; sissy one haha.

But, being Chinese, &amp; HB's sister has 2 daughters, having a son will def take the press off me. I can have 10 daughters after this w/o a care liao, u know what I mean?

Anyway, end of the day, healthy is the most impt thing.
 
re : backache &amp; epi

I also have kind of a weak back. It used to ache even b4 pregnancy.

Any tots as to whether it's true that there will long-term effects after epi, esp from the 2nd time mummies?
 
Think don't know if i m juz plain lucky or what, epidural definitely is more of the pros than cons to me. For my 3 deliveries, all on epidural. Bt i'll make sure that adequate amount of anaesthesia is admininster to the spine so that it will take away a lot of the pain bt on the other hand im nt totally numb so that i can still feel the contraction. feeling of the contraction is impt coz when the contraction came, we can use own strength to push out the bb. (cannnot suka suka push out bb de, can only try after we felt the contraction). so for me, no vacuum needed. BB's head turn out nice unlike with the usage of vacuum or forcep.

use of epidural make us 'paralyzed' on the lower half of the body. bt after the numbness wear off, im already walking around....
no giddy, no vomitting for me bt a lil shivering though during the period in the delivery suite that's all.

I'll be opting for the same again. hope i'll be the same lucky this time...
 
Hi... me new to this post. Now 14 weeks, went for OSCAR last week, and i was more concerned that baby was normal, didn't ask radiologist if it was boy or girl. Turned out normal and I was happy.

Actually doesn't matter much to me, i have a boy (5) and girl (3) already. Some days i wish for a boy, and some days for a girl.

I drank chicken essence this morning, the one with codyceps ... i take it about once a week. Cordyceps is not 'dang gui' right ... i think its 'dong cong cao' right? Just like to confirm.
 
hello florence

cordyceps is dong cong cao, u r right..I sometime drank essence of chk with cordyceps too and sometime juz plain essence of chk or sometime with wolfberries ones (fr EYS). I luv to try on many brands and variety. I drank 2-3x per wk since 6/7wks onwards. Im exactly 15wks 2day

Jul
ooo i was thinking that this robinson sales not as good as the sales inside the malls those kind bah..
I think better go apply my card asap.. before i miss the sales
 
girly
u r lucky... maybe the amt that fit into u was juz rite...
coz for some can't feel the contractions at all .. so having a good administer is very impt..
 
kiddo

hmm...coz i try to bear with the pain lor...if cannot tahan oredi then ask nurse administer bit by bit...I will make sure i can still feel the contraction. can tell the anaesthetic doctor don't administered too much at 1st mah. after that when required, get nurse to add on can liao...
 
thanks girly. That does make me feel better about drinking chk essence.

we are due about the same time. I'll be delivering in 2nd week of Sep, earlier than EDD as i'll be having a ceasarean.
 
Hello All MTB's!

Erm..

I thought Cordyceps is a nono?

My Gynae told me to drink the plain chicken essence if I want to.
 
Hi

Do anyone here have any idea the maternity waer shop called Cloud9 (last time at suntec city) shifted to? Went there last weekend and found that its no longer there? Tried searching internet but also cant find info......
 
kiddo

Yeah go get the card lah. Coz if there's sales then ur fren cannot help u get the stuff, then u will lugi liao haha.
 
girly

Hmm I think it's true that it all veries from indiv to indiv. Just like MS - some pple get v bad MS, some pple sail thru. HB keeps telling me to just use epi lah, why suffer the pain?
 
hello florence

Me too. During OSCAR, I was more concerned abt the DS that I forgot to ask abt the gender at all.
 
kiddo and jul,
i had some side effects from my epidural too. didnt have MS during pregnancy, but puked non stop after i had epidural. also had an extremely bad headache throughout the first night after i gave birth. the next day, was normal already. could walk and pee and bathe on my own at the hospital.


florence,
welcome!
