Good Sunday, all mtb!
Thanks astro/loke/and all others who helps to update and maintain the table
Yah, the list is growing and so is our tummy/belly..hehehe
I too had pizza last nite. I went to toilet a few times today too. I guess I better avoid pizza for a while..but I know such cravings can be tough to beat at times. oh, well!
Btw, can anyone recommend a good lamaze class?

Hi Ladies..I am back from my weekend cruise
It did do wonders for me and I think it did more wonders for my HB...for you girls with stressed and over-erranded hubbies, you should give this a try.
Hahaha, it didn't start out brilliantly for me though. I was told the check-in was at 5pm so 5pm pronto I was there. Turns out we were the first on the cruise...and when we entered our room, three bad things happened:
1) All three fruits were rotten (apple has turned brown; orange has turned soft and very wrinkled; chinese pear has turned yellow white!)
2) There was trash in the balcony
3) The toilet was not clean...
So being part of the Merlion Club, I reacted almost instantaneously cos of the stink in the toilet...HB was furious..very angry and really, I have never seen him so angry cos the last time he got on a short fuse with anyone was....(cannot remember). Sigh, and SS Virgo's cleaning supervisor actually came and insisted that the three fruits were "not rotten"..so HB told them.."could you eat them all in front of me if it is so.."...sigh I was distressed that my little getaway was turning into a disaster...and the room had this rattle tattle noise that got on my nerves..
Thankfully, that was it. and things changed from there. We were offered a change of room, they sent cleaning crews and all to ensure everything there was spick and span..had lemons in the room to freshen things up ..plus a special "sea sickness" kit for me to conveniently throw up next to the bed (though i came prepared with my ziplocks)...and we had a special disembarkation passage to avoid the queues..so silver lining on what i thought was a dark cloud.
the food..oh, this i really gotta share. My MS miraculously dwindled to just two and four sessions on the 6th and 7th respectively. My appetite has gotten back on track. I think most of you will find the stuff thoroughly nutritious..double boiled soups on demand, very fresh seafood, fish, beef steaks and great desserts. The air was not as fresh as I'd have loved it though..the weather absolutely sucks! warm and humid..like a sauna..
Very glum at the thought of monday..gonna get hit by its blues soon.

Huimin >> I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be outta the Oct Merlion Club soon...haha but can be cheerleader still. I think when you're passed the puking stage, it does feel like you've earned this feeling of being well..hang in there babe..and get the girl you want! I still dunno which version (gender) I prefer...some days I think boys are easier to maintain; on others, I look at girls and think, "better insurance for old age"....hahaha...
Astro >> I am also equally confused abt the" dating. Anyway, I am still angling that we should have a punctuality chart here..I doubt mine's going to be the most punctual though
Loke >> No wonder I called and called..but thanks for the lead nonetheless..I had no choice but to just quickly arrange for domestic help. My house was resembling a war zone...
Nat >> Great good news!!! I am happy for you
See...a mother's instinct is never wrong! You just knew you were fine...do take more rest and we will be out of the first trimester and into a more beautiful, peaceful 2T...

doesnt the smell in foodcourt turn you off? I hate those fried food and stagnant smell. I'll just puke even if on empty tummy. I duno if what roxie say is right. MS peak is at 8th n 9th week....OH NO!
So what have you eaten that can curb the MS?

ww & loke >> thanks! but i shouldn't be too happy yet. just realised that i have been having this terrible runny nose (but i feel well other than that..no fever) since i returned this afternoon. tried to clear it but it doesn't. horror of horrors, did a search and realised that as you approach your 2T, you may develop this symptom known as pregnancy rhinitis...@#)$(@#*%)!!!
huimin >> i try to embrace nausea with open arms. feel like puking, then just puke. it does make one feel better (action vs non-action). i have no formula for the feelings of nausea except that it is probably one of the most horrid of pregger symptoms...now you can add constipation and rhinitis to the list of my woes..
mrs neo >> hope your HB and you have made up over your MIL issue. wha..both you and loke are staying on the other "end"..i live in tampines...guess lailai gotta wait till another time...but the roast duck...yummy..but will bust my budget this week. guess have to make do with beef noodles for dinner...hope my nose clears soon or i have to call tipex for bulk order tissues.

anyone of u had to do this Ford survey (i think it for those who graudated from sim/ntu/nus).. wah. first time i seen a survey being so 'persistent'.. send reminders via email.. make phone calls.. and now, they turn up in person to ask u to do.. and the best part.. the survey is OPTiONAL one.. (they said they cannot meet the quota needed) wah. times are bad huh? dunnoif it was the employees who had to go and chases household by household.. or temp staff they hired..
I just had my 1-1.5km walk.. Hope nothing happen to me and bb tonight.Now i begin to fear.
Ladies: I think that there will be a baby fair in takashimaya next week. Anyone going there?
loke:thanks.How do you remove the oil?
xoxo:You seems to emphasize on fresh food during your holiday. Could it be the freshness of the food that stimulate your diet> reduce your Ms? The way that you describe the food is really yummy.I am thinking of beef noodles..

loke: (copied from wiki) Modern Lamaze childbirth classes teach expectant mothers many ways to work with the labor process to reduce the pain associated with childbirth, and to promote normal (physiological) birth and the first moments after birth. Techniques include allowing labor to begin on its own, movement and positions, massage, aromatherapy, hot and cold packs, informed consent and informed refusal, breathing techniques, the use of a "birth ball" (yoga or exercise ball), spontaneous pushing, upright positions for labor and birth, breastfeeding techniques, and keeping mother and baby together after childbirth.
I think it is US or western thing. My hubby asked me to check around for such class now as he is interested to do it with me later. I only heard of courses like the childbirth education course done at TMC. Never heard of lamaze being mentioned at this forum yet. I wonder singapor got or not.
Btw, i too felt nauseous whenever i passed by the foodcourt near my place. I don't know why. Maybe I was not feeling well when i walked by. hiaz....
I felt like having a big burp tonite. So, kang-ho a bit, walked to cold storage nearby and bought a can of pepsi light! It sure felt good after drinking it

xoxo: sounded like a nice getaway you had
the fresh seafood made my mouth watering now..hehehe I too think of going away on a cruise but I m concern of getting sea sick. Maybe I try to do it in April when I m over the 1st trimester and hopefully 2nd trimester is easier like most ppl say.
mrs lundquisto: ithink the lamaze childbirth is not frequently practiced in singapore.. and also gynae dont really welcome it.. esp during birth. for various reasons
ya.. suprisingly hor? drink carbonated drinks to help relieve bloatedness.. interesting! i drink 7up last time with teng
