(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

Ann,

Received your file. Thanks! Its a VERY long list..lol..



Hmm..i tried feeling my pulse, but seems like i can only feel 1 beat..normal should me 2 beats? Oh my..so i am not even normal? hahhaa..

 


Jayamum: It's ok la.. just joking with you. I think only professional sinseh can tell whether we are preggy by feeling our pulse. Don't need to feel guilty



Sun_Tan: Ya.. the list is quite long.. 7 pages.. but very detailed.. also not bad la.. but have to slowly look at it lo. I send to my hubby to see.. he also nearly fainted.

 
Any of you ladies planning to quit their jobs before the coming pregnancy?



I was retrenched last year due to financial crisis and currently have been taking up contract jobs and my contract ends in April this year. I guess by then my tummy would be too big and no one would employ me at that point.



Therefore, I am in a way forced to wait till baby is able enough for me to go back to workforce.



Dunno whether this is good or bad coz i have been working for more than 20 years now and it feels weird.

 
Hi Ann, could you pls send me the list too? I'll PM you my contact!



and i can't feel the 3rd beat either hahahh. anyway shouldnt the baby's heartbeat be faster than ours? so it makes sense not to hear it after every beat of our own heart? i think...hahah

 
Kat, Ecym, Sweetkiss: Had just emailed you the list.



Jayamum: Relax... if you can financially afford to stay home and rest till BB is born, it would be good too.

 
sweetkiss, u have the spree page for the pumps? I thot its only freestyle available. I used PIS last time for my first one and love it so much! wonder if freestyle is juz as good.

 
anyone experiencing acne?



i never used to have it. in fact, had very clear skin during the first trimester. but now that i'm moving in the second trimester, i've noticed three bumps on my face :<



btw, ann could i have the list too? will pm you my email address.

 
Yes one part of my heart is very happy to be able to spend time focusing on the pregnancy..



Another part is afraid that I would become useless careerwise...



Sigh.. I guess this is the problem with being career-minded.



As with the retrenchment last year, it was very difficult to latch onto a permanent posting. Moreover, I dont have any perm staff benefits like leave medical etc.



I guess i will take one day at a time... and live off HB for now... and then jump back into the workforce later.

 
hi ladies, can i check how much weight have you all put on? i have only put on 200 grams and while my gynae assures me its ok....i just want to reassure myself that i am not the only one? anyone of you out there in a similar situation?

 
Rmummy - my weight dropped within my first and 2nd gynae visit - he never mention anything too...

 
rmummy

u r v lucky... i could have put on 2kg... sudden/excessive weight gain is not exactly good as well... if your gynae says u r okie, u r okie!

 
Thanks Ann!



I think i may have already put on 3kg+ by now [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



Rmummy, i think if your gynae says it's ok, should be able to trust him/her [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I'm wondering when mine is going to tell me i'm gaining too much!

 
Rmummy, I am still at weight loss - have only put back 1kg of the 2kg lost...gynae says okie, bb is growing well...so no worries...

 
hi ladies,



BTW, besides having the list, good to also prepare a contact list (i.e. gynae's contact, CL's contact, massage lady's contact, etc).



Am intending to pass the list to my HB, just in case cuz I presume he'd be the one calling the gynae & CL when i'm due for delivery.

 
thanks so much ann! :D

Rmummy- i lost a lot of weight at first due to hyperemesis gravidarum (very very bad morning sickness) about 8kg in all. just started to gain 2 kg. so in actual, i've a net loss of 6 kg? waiting to gain actually .

 
cherry.sue, u gonna take good care. Losing 8kg is really alot. Have to take supplements regularly and eat nutritious food.

 
I am back from my scan...saw something inbetween the legs, but my gynae couldnt be sure if its the umbilical cord or is something else..so he said 60% is boy..haha..so now need to wait for another mth's time to scan again. Hopefully it would be clearer by then. I am in my 16th week now and bb weighing at 157g. Junior was extremely active during the scan, thus my gynae didnt manage to take the length measure him/her.

 
Ica, Jasline: Just forwarded the list to you.



Weight of bb: How come most of you know the weight of BB? Gynae never tell me the weight only the length.

 
morning!!



Ann - by 4 mths baby should have a bit of weight le. You can check with your gynae on your next visit [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] anyway during the detail scan, you will be able to know your baby's weight.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



re: weight

so far i gain 1.7kg. Hopefully i don gain too much weight for this pregnancy :p First pregnancy i gain about 13kg



re: hospital

I am comtemplating whether to chose TMC or MT A.. Anyone have comments of MT A??

 
Astro Gal, i have already gained about 3kg so far..but gynae said its within reasonable range.. me trying to control my appetite too..been eating alot! Hopefully wont gain too much too.

Morning Mummies,



I went for my check up yesterday too... Nothing seen in between the legs.. hee... but Doc say cannot confirm yet... must wait for detailed scan.. Suntan.. I same as you, have to wait for 4 weeks more.



Think my BB is like the smallest here leh.. she's only abt 10cm. Doc also never tell me the weight. So far base on weighing machine at the clinic I only put on 1.6kg.. Maybe that's why my BB so small..

 
sun_tan - ya 3kg should be resonable ba. don control your diet too much too because your baby needs the nutrients..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



noknok - i think your baby not very small la. as long as doc didnt comment anything your baby should be growing well [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Yup, noknok, dun worry, my gynae also say the size of the bb depends on the parents. Cos me and hubby are both quite tall, so i think naturally our bb would be bigger bah.

 
yo mummies...



how do your tummy look ar? I feel that these two days it got bigger alot leh (in my 18th week)

 
Pink: Had send you the list.



Astro_gal: Oh.. ok.. I will check with gynae on my next visit during end of the month which is also the detailed scan.



Sun_tan: For me, my appetite is only so so, thus gain about 2kg so far. But now CNY, appetite for junk food and CNY goodies is great. Hopefully I dun gain too much weight this month. Haha!!!



Noknok: How many weeks are u now? During my last Saturday appt, I am 16 weeks and BB measured 10.3cm.



Ecym: For me, sometime looks big, sometimes looks smaller. So also not sure. Me now 17 weeks going to 18 weeks.

 
Hi Ann, can you send me the list too to this email.

[email protected]



Thank you.



For those mummies who are hving pimples outbreak, you might want to try this product call Buzz on acne that I got online from the US.

https://buzzonhealth.com/



It really helps with my pimple outbreak and I was given the go ahead by my gyn to use it even during preg. But different gyn might hve different opinion, so you might want to check the list of ingredients with your resp gyns first.



I am now in my 18th week and my tummy looks quite round. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
suntan - My hubby and I not short too leh... some more last time I quite big size.. now hubby growing too.. haha.. But i won't worry excessively cos Doc din say anything.



ecym - I still look like I jus had a too full meal and a tummy that's not toned.



Ann- am hitting 16 wks tml. scan yesterday was only 9.89cm. Close to 10cm. The screen shows that I'm 15w6d.



Oh.. I went to Mother care yesterday.. They have this free booklet that has got details of the product that they carry and there are comparisons too.. Mummies dropping by can get a copy. There is a summary list on the last page, but not as comprehensive as the Taka or First few years list.

 
Noknok: Then your BB not small la.. close to mine and Dr Fong say my BB is doing better than expected... so yours must be the same too. So dun worry.

 
Ecym: My tummy is really big. Sometimes I feel that my legs are very tired, maybe because my body getting heavier. But I have not gained much weight, maybe about 2kg still..

I cannot see my private parts when bathing lo.. Did my brazilian last week and my therapist had to use mirror to show the “after effect” cos I cannot see when lying down anymore.

 
Nok Nok don't worry, my bb was measured at 9.6cm at 16 weeks 3 days.



Baby is growing well, and i only put on about 600 grams in total so far, was very happy already cuz managed to gain back the weight i lost during first tri.



Nowadays we depend a lot on the scan result to give us reassurance that bb is doing well, we should trust our body that we can naturally carry the baby to full term. just like how our mummies did. =)

 


Breast pump: Hey.. I remember last time round someone mentioned a spree on the breast pump.. anyone had placed an order? Is it too early to buy now?



Pre natal Yoga: Thinking of joinging the one at mother and child. Had called them up to check on their classes.. the person on the phone sound friendly and not pushy at all. Heard that the classes there not bad. Any comments?
