Hihi, i guess all of u are sleeping now liao. 
went KKH for my gynea appt.. can u imagine i spent 3hrs there in total!! waited until super sian. 1hr wait at AMC for ultrasound, 1hr+ wait to see gynea and 30mins+ spent at the pharmacy.. i was the last patient at clinic B n pharmacy!! i told my gynea i will rather pay a little more n switch to see him in The Private Suite (TPS) coz i cannot stand each visit muz waste so much time.. at least in the TPS, my gynea will do the scan for mi during consultation.. can skip the AMC n pharmacy. moreover, it is evening clinic, i need not always take time-off from work n my HR manager not happy abt it.
btw, i also complained to him on the gynea at 24hr clinic whom i seen on wed. He said i'm not his 1st patient who mentioned they dun like tis gynea. so i'm not the oni one complaining la.. he said he will bend the rules and give me hospitalisation leave if i want. even offered to start it from next week so dat i can rest for a week before my Hkg trip. but i declined since not necessary now. wait i got alot of back-log at work fm the leave. but dat was beri kind of him to offer it.
saw bb's heartbeat again.. hope bb will stay healthy n strong.. my next visit is in 5wks time. so long!!
was supposed to take the influenza vaccination at KKH, but the pharmacist read the instructions + her big book abt pregnancy drug use n said better nt to take the vaccinnation in 1st trimester. even called my gynea to double confirm.. ended up gynea also said better dun take it now coz my6 pregnancy is unstable, he scared will M/C aft jab, better to take fm 2nd trimester onwards.
CJ, pls help mi change my EDD to 29Jun.. supposed to be 7w3d but bb oni 6wk+ now. EDD pushed back for 6d.
toking abt tummy showing, i saw a lady at AMC, 3mths preggie but tummy looked super flat. envy her.. anyway.. mi on the plus-side, so haf tummy (fats) before bb even show. hahaha

Hi Blueberi: Good to know that things are ok. 5 weeks! Wow. I'm already complaining that 3 weeks is too long for me.
Lola: Yah. Mini-confinement is good. Rest well.
Kelly: thanks for uploading the chart. I'll see how accurate it is. BTW, abt carrying your koala bear, I read somewhere that you can try to wean him off by explaining that your back cannot take it. Blame your back, not the baby. That way, he will not resent the baby.

Kelly,
as much as i would want a boy this time, the chart says girl in my case (even add 1 to represent chinese age just to be sure) - its accurate for my first one, so i am hoping i can prove this chart wrong! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Lola,
glad u r slowly recovering - be strong!
Blueberi,
also depends on the choice of clothing rite - i hv started to wear more roomy top to hide, so far no one detected.. hee

Gender chart
The chart was accurate for my #1 and #2..now it says #3 is a girl..like koaru..hope this will not turn out true for me..hee..
Anyway, I have always been curious why the gender prediction tends to rely on Mother's age..I thought gender is determined by the Father's sperm as well???
Later I am going to see my gynae..pretty exciting. For the past 2 days, appetite not so good..even tummy seems to have shrunk a bit..I can put on my normal pants now.

Sweets. Me too! Starting to worry cos i dun want my bb to be too hyper-active leh. No energy to run after him/her.
bebe75,

Looney,
Must try to eat something, biscuit lor or an apple. I understand how u feel, i'm oso like that tats y i got to force myself to take a few bites if not later more jia lat leh.
Cravings, yes yes! Roti prata!!!!!
Summer March,
Rest more! My first visit to gynae she restricted me to 20 mins walk per day, cannot carry anything above 5kg and HL for 2 weeks. Nothing is wrong with me just tat last year i had m/c and she want me to be super careful. So during the HL i stay on bed watch dvds lor. Had a gd rest and nv have spotting. So i guess good rest is very very important!

sberry, is better that you talk to the CL directly. through 3rd party like her daughter is very difficult to know whether she is suitable for you.
anyway my cousin just deliver and i will check out her CL for you since she told me is recommended by her friend so i will ask her how she find her CL next week.

kelly, I still carry my 2 yo son... now i try to avoid as i have spotting last few days... every morning i still carry him out from bed to make milk as this is our routine.. the rest of the time i will ask daddy to do the job.

Hi aven2009
We share the same EDD and we both are expecting #3..hee
Went to the gynae and he said the baby is now 9weeks old..we could hear the strong heartbeat now..it is amazing how this tiny bean can generate such a fast heartbeat..
Next visit will be in 3 weeks' time..gynae will do a bloodtest for me then..

BluBeri, really glad that the baby is healthy and strong. Happy for you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I'm scheduled for my next visit on Monday, hope everything turns out well and we can hear baby's heartbeat. I'm starting to feel like each visit (or each day?) is both nerve-wrecking and exciting. I'm either a born worrier or do all mothers feel this way?
Regarding the subject of cold drinks/ food, I have been drinking mainly cold drinks and eating lots of ice-cream. Before I was pregnant, I steered clear of these cos I never really enjoyed them, so this time I just indulged. Hmmm think I should cut back, feel guilty sometimes cos these are not healthy, but I feel so hot sometimes.
My belly has also started showing somewhat, though my weight remained unchanged when I checked. Think it's the gas and water retention? Cos the size changes each day. My clothes feel tighter now and I'm not sure if I should buy new ones.
My MS is also getting worse, especially at night. I want to throw up all the time but nothing comes up. Sometimes I find it difficult to burp, which makes things even worse. Well, all for a healthy, bouncing baby!

bebe75 I forgot there was school holidays in june my son will be of for a whole month, lucky I dont do confinement but to be honest it would have been good to have him at school for the three hours every morning, my other two were induced so hoping to not do that this time, feel like when you go in to be induced it is like lets just get her delivered as as soon as we can and turn up piciticon to make it go fast, so dr can get on with other things, want to do it my way this time and been the third it should be faster and easier,
Aven2009 - you don;t do confinement?? No objection from the old folks in the family?
Actually if I have my way, I will also skip the whole hassle of confinment..maybe I can go for a simple one, where I get to eat confinement food daily, bath daily, go out as and when I like, nursing my baby whenever I can. MIL did both my confinements, frankly speaking I was suffering slight Post natal then..so I do not wish history to repeat itself.

bebe75 I actually come from New Zealand and we dont do anything like it there, when my daughter was born I was out in the gym three days after she was born! I had to get out and about for my sanity, couldnt stand been stuck inside, My son was born in hong kong there would have been about 30 women on the ward and they all gasped as I walked out of the bathroom freshly showered and hair washed,I really did not know anything about confiniment at that time, I just need space and want to bond with my newborn that is why for both children I have said I dont want family coming over to stay and help out which has upset certain people as well, I have been lucky though and had very easy newborns though, hopefully its the same this time

Hi Bliss,
Yup I'm seeing Dr Kowa. He is a very nice doctor, reassuring and patient. I'm not sure about how the charges compare though...

Hi Neverfull,looks like u and me quite smilar experience, i tried having bb for 3 yrs, no result, went kkivf last yr and they suggest iui/ivf, i pend it due to work issue. Then realise i was preggie on 16oct..hee...was super happy...but i guess i will have a difficult road ahead, due to obesity,back pain problem, and now GD...but for the sake of my bb, i will be positive!
Aven2009 - I c..that is why you do not hve to observe the Asian customs...good for you..
SummerMarch - Orange juice, why not? For my #1, I can only stomach orange juice..cannot tolerate other beverages. FYI, orange juice contains lots of folic acids. Just drink moderately as some packaging juices has high sugar contents

bluberi it is so much better your own gynae doing scan, I feel they explain more to you as well, and no waiting outside another room to get it done,

Hi, I'm new here...I'm also a Jun '10 MTB, and this is my first pregnancy.
I'm wondering for those who had more than 1 liao, do you have a preparation schedule on what to do for the next few months to delivery?
I'm jus a bit puzzled what at which mth? For instance, I was telling my MIL that I'm going to wash the baby's clothes (new and old) in April, and she said it's too soon...
So, wondering whether mummies can share your experiences so that I can prep myself and hubby the tasks to do for the next 7 mths?
Thanks in advance...

confinement
i showered a few hours after delivering, and every day after that! luckily my mum and MIL both q modern. i also drank cold drinks throughout pregnancy and after.
only thing i am not really looking forward to is my MIL always cooks me a fried egg for every meal now or during confinement, i know it's v kind of her, but i think q fattening!! last time during confinement she give me eggs and bacon every morning for breakfast! no wonder hard to lose weight

thanks for keeping the list updated! I'm with Dr. Clifton Chan, delivering at Mt.A.
i showered a few hours after delivering, and every day after that! luckily my mum and MIL both q modern. i also drank cold drinks throughout pregnancy and after.
only thing i am not really looking forward to is my MIL always cooks me a fried egg for every meal now or during confinement, i know it's v kind of her, but i think q fattening!! last time during confinement she give me eggs and bacon every morning for breakfast! no wonder hard to lose weight

Kelly, u washed the stuff twice?
Handkerchiefs for wat har?
And did you also wash the rest of the stuff twice? For instance, cloth diapers, bottle, and etc...and sterilize the stroller, baby cot, car seat, bath tub?
I'm sorry that I'm asking so many questions coz I'm really ignorance on these and jus wan to be a bit KS especially since I have a dog at home.

Hi soontobe,
Hehehe..cos tat time i nothing to do..n i want to ensure tat the things r as clean as possible whn i bring my bb home...
Handkerchiefs r for to bathe bb or clean their mouths after burping them...veri useful for me....bottles, u washed n steam them on the day tat u discharge la...oh ya, hv to buy the bottle detergent, baby detergent also...car seat i washed them only whn i need to use them, for eg. next week...but wash all stuffs tat u need whn u bring the bb home lor...
No worries la...we are here to share, learn n help aso ma....oh, sm of frens suggest tat whn u bring the bb home, let the dog sniff the bb for a while , maybe the back of the bb so tat they knw this is a new member....bt try not to have the bb too close to the dog cos the fur may cause allergic to bb nose....
Cheers...

oh really?? cool! i've always gone to him at clementi because it's a stone's throw from my home, and the most i've waited is 30mins (i refuse to wait for hours!). u stay near PR?
i like him and the nurses there, all not v pushy - one of my friends who went for a regular check up at Mt E ended up taking lots of fertility tests, but with dr. chan they all just said, go home and try first. my sis went there on a busy sat and she didn't like him though, but i guess different strokes for different folks.

Thanks Kelly. Ok ok. So, I'm a bit KS to wanting to wash the stuff so early lar...but I aso worry that if I were to go into labour before washing the stuff, i think my hubby will go into panic mode and won't do all the right things.
Err, I will think twice of letting my dog sniff the baby on the 1st day home coz my dog is v territorial and aggressive. And she always get jealous when I play with other dogs. Still need to think how to intro the baby to her....maybe only let her smell the baby when baby is in the baby cot. Safer like that.

U r most welcome, soontobe...dun wori la, u will hv ample of time to wash the stuff before u go to labour cos the bb nds to be engaged before u r ready to deliver...rather, u hv to pack yr hospital bag 1 mth before u go into labour...
Aiyoh...then u better consider to seperate both the dog n bb....sounds quite dangerous....
