haha yes, from ur photos, looks like u have nice stuff. today i'm wearing a loose knit top i've had from pre-pregnancy and it's rather clingy now - my colleague commented that it's making me look huge. o well, all the better to get mrt seats with. hah.



most pp also say only my tummy grew but i know for sure my arms, thighs and butt grew too, but i suppose because my tummy is now so much bigger, my arms etc dun look big in comparison.

That maternity top I'm wearing is juz hanging off my tummy biggest circumference.

Below now abit cooling cos my pants is low.

I'm running out of pants to wear liaoz.. jialut

I also sure my butt grew cos some pants r now tight!



I still wear some of my pre-preg knit tops.. but 2 pcs lah.

lynn

[yasmin]

hi ladies



zz

my tummy circumference is about 38 inches. much bigger than my #1. i feel so stretched! feeling quite down and tired since the weekend.body is very painful. guess bb going thru some growth changes.

 

[juye]

morning all!!



rantingbaby: very detailed photos.. ur baby really come out clean leh.. my sister just gave birth last Sat, baby not as clean as yours.. hehehe..



zz: ur tummy big wor.. but it's a good thing.. people has been commenting that my tummy very small for 28 weeks.. makes me feel so sad.. but recently i've not been eating well too lar..



yesterday was discussing with my hubby on the delivery stuff.. he said he very scared to go into the labour ward with me.. he very scared of blood.. hahaha.. his friend scolded him saying that at that moment, we need the most support is from our hubby, so he must die die go into the labour ward with me.. hahaha.. but i really scared he will faint leh..

 

[yasmin]

juye

tell him to just stay by your head side. he doesn't hv to see what's going on down there.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[rantingbaby]

Thanks mummies for the positive comments. Hubby only took photos during delivery. Post-delivery pics are all taken by me.



Maddie

I only brough disposable undies during birth of #1. Thinking of bringing the maternity pads and diapers that I have stored up for #2 to the hospital this round. But better to check with my hubby.



Hahaha, my hubby is ex-commando... so it's not very nice if he really fainted at sight of blood. His face value will drop, you know? Hahaha...



I am now in week 25. Still waiting for the GTT results. If hear nothing from the doc today by 3pm, then I will have to call in and get the nurses to help me check.

 

[lynny5051]

zz, my bust size nv change much so still can wear pre-preg stuff until they get too snug around the tummy or too short to cover my belly coz i prefer to wear my bottoms under-belly. i cannot stand it when they cover my tummy, sometimes causes my skin to itch.



eh Yasmin, my circum is abt the same as yours. but since i'm shorter than most, it looks bigger on me - hah!

 

[lynny5051]

juye, ignore those too big too small comments la. it used to bother me but now i dun care anymore. if i feel sad for every person tat tells me she thinks i'm abt to go into labour, then i'll be depressed most of the time.

 

[juye]

probably after seeing the photos of my sister's delivery, my hubby more scared to go into the delivery ward.. hahaha.. anyway will build up his confidence slowly..



can i check whether anyone have a list of things to prepare for the newborn bb?? also what to prepare for the hospital bag?? my mum keep asking me to start my preparation..

 

[zhuzhu07]

lynn

I like to wear those cover my tummy one but problem is I dun hv alot of pants like that.

I only have one pair like that and that's my fav

 

[zhuzhu07]

 

[juye]

lynn: ya, i should practice to ignore people's comments.. my hubby also worried bb is not growing.. will see how my bb's growth this wed when i visit my gynae..



thanks zz for the list.. but my company bans all downloads, got to go home then can see..

 

[lynny5051]

juye, ur baby is fine, u cant judge by size of tummy. my tummy so big but baby is only 626g at 24 weeks. everyone carries their babies differently so dun worry. just trust ur gynae =)

 

[yasmin]

haiz...ppl act as if they hv xray eyes...dun bother abt big tummy small tummy comments. also be prepared to ignore big bb and small bb comments once the little one is born too.

 

[yasmin]

just to add on to zz list, might wanna get some good disposable panties. personally, i preferred my watson ones to the ones TMC gave.more comfy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[yasmin]

well said lynn. my #1 was heavier at this time but my tummy was way smaller than now.i used to get comments like they can't believe i'm due next mth cos i look 5mths for my #1. their face some more worried, disgusted and so on. i just laugh and shrug it off.

 

[bb_dust_to_all]

maddie,

yeah exciting hor.. counting down soon [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] woohoo [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

[esterlah]

[woofmeow]

Re: receiving blankets



Whats are they used for? For bb when we bring the lil one home upon discharge fm hospital?

 

[juye]

muhahaha.. i will also laugh n shrug it off next time when people comments again.. the worst is that the person giving lots of comments is my MIL herself.. she super scared her grandchild doesn't have enough food.. hahaha.. i was like eyes rolling lor.. i stared at my hubby when she talks abt my tummy..



i also have very bad outbreak on my face.. have been doing my daily cleaning and weekly exfoliating.. but i don't really bother lar.. i know it's part n parcel of pregnancy too..

 

[woofmeow]

Re: Pimples..



Vicma, bbdust..yr pimples r popping al over?? my skin is flaking like no one's biz on my face...grrrr

 

[woofmeow]

Re: tum size



who cares as long as bb is growing well??? ..some pple like to give their five cents worth of opinion n start comparing ..let's not be bothered by such comments ourselves too much..take it with a pinch of salt n SMILE *-* .. ( oh my SIL also kapo n comment as if she is the super gynae with radar eyes ).

 

[dreamic]

Tummy size:

My boss has been the only one commenting that my tummy is small and his wife who is 22 weeks preggy has a tummy as big as mine. I was like come on lah this is my first pregnancy and everything is stretching for the first time and I am a lot smaller built than his wife of course my tummy wont be as big! He just doesnt get it @_@ In fact last week my gynae did the measurements and my baby is on the 50-75th percentile. So ladies please dont be too affected by what others say.

 

[bb_dust_to_all]

woofy,

yeah starting to pop out again.. think it went from my face to vic then back to mine again [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



yeah receiving blanket to use when u bring bb home and can use to swaddle him bah when he sleeps i think [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



vic,

i never use acne cream just let it be then it will be gone [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



dreamic,

my tum tum is also very small ahahha but bb is growing well all within the percentile. I think my tum tum can take the stretch very well cause of the tight muscles save on stretch marks cream keke [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



mummies bo chup all the comments and be happy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

[lynny5051]

my zits come and go, just let them be - thank goodness for concealer! and i've got flaky skin on some parts too - there's a permanent dry spot on the side of my mouth on the left.



nowadays, my baby likes to move even when i'm walking...i can suddenly feel her do a somersault or sthg mid-stride - can be slightly painful sometimes when maybe her fist is in the way...

 

[esterlah]

lynn i hate my little one's game of

the bladder part is funny, i have it often and every 1/2 hr i will tell my DH I need to pee but nothing will come out.

 

[esterlah]

bb dust i told my hb who looked a little sad on hearing this. cos he bot most of my pregnancy wear from US & KL.



I am going to rid all my pregnancy clothes after #2 Pops. cos i feel so sick looking at them even! (all the nausea memories might make me not even want #3.



then i said but I will keep some la (his long face became short again) those i think worth keeping.



its the storage that irks me lor -so many toyogo boxes of clothes i will never wear again.



I threw/gave more than 50% of my pre-preg clothes as well -those that i didnt touch for more than 6 mths & those i know i never want to see again.



the nesting mothering hormones perhaps of resoluting to shape up my wardrobe.
