Hi MTBS
So irritated by my boss today. i ytd went to see doc cuz throat pain he gave me MC. Night i feel tired so i decided to take it & rest so i sms my boss. This morning, he sms me say i can predict my own MC & want to talk to me next wed evening.
Msg him back say unable evening can earlier cause i knock off at 445 lor.. he say no, ask my hubby come fetch me later.
What is this man.. i come early morning do my work. What he expect of me. Sure talk about why I did not take up the projects supervisor ask me to take etc... Zzzz He expect me take & complete it before maternity.
I'm just an admin & he's pushing me like i'm an executive. Stupid work! Stupid boss... other ppl take MC he also never say anything. I take MC he pin point at me. If i ever get depression is because of him! ZZZZzz

Jaclyn & AtomicKitten: I feel ya sista's! my weight started from 51kg n nw @ 27weeks is 63kg! n d best part is, my gynae says dat at d end of my ninth mnth i shld only b 66kg.. haha so i can only gain 1kg a mnth frm nw on whch is impossible la. been gaining 3kg a mnth previously leh.. i also dnt knw y, bt i dnt really eat dat much.. hmm
morning mommies! farted so much last nite - was a relief to me - now not so bloated anymore! hehehe
ceres: Eliss is right. also any verbal comm with your boss just note it down - time, date, where, what was discussed. i've a feeling he's finding fault with you and use that as reasons for termination
weight gain: i've gained 7kg but this was during the last checkup. feel like i've become much heavier over the last 2 wks - hope it's all due to baby and me minimal weight gain [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] anyway, my gynae has a patient who put on 30kg for her pregnancy and managed to lose more than that after childbirth - so there's hope [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] but must be really determined and disciplined
cheese: i also have those red patches on my tummy and they itch like crazy when it's hot or too dry. going to see my gynae later to see what can be done

Morninig mommies,
Haa, i think we are all obessed over the weight gain thingy. Actually my gynae is pretty good to me with regards to this. He dun stress me with regards to my weight gain and keep emphasising that i shouldnt go on diet becos of this. He is also very couraging on the weight gain too. My last checkup was when i was at my 24th week and at that time, i have alr gained 9kg and know what he says? He say the weight gain is good and is ok, dun worry too much. But of cos even with him saying that, i still constantly complain to my hubby that i am putting on weight too fast..but in a way, at least the stress from my gynae isnt there.. I think we should try not to worry too much on the weight gain. As long as we are eating healthly and not over eating, should be fine and able to loose the weight after giving birth. Being too stress up is also not good for the bb.

sun tan : i put on 7.9kg in total at 24 weeks. my gynea also didnt stress me on my weight gain ... she also tell me is gd to have weight gain and not to go on diet. But she repeatedly tells me to eat more fruits, milk, yoghurt, beef, veg, etc. and reduce the intake of carbo like rice, prata, potato, bee hoon, noodles, etc.

xbeanniex,
Wah, noodles and rice is my staple food. Without them, i will feel as if i have not eaten. I am not those who can survive on bread.
Btw, my feet have been swelling for the past few days. Last night after work, went to NTUC to buy an extra pillow so that i can prop my legs up while sleeping. This morning when i woke up, the swell seems to go down by quite alot..but now, its seems that the swelling is coming back. And when i wear my shoe (those very soft type), i can see the "line" where my shoe cuts into my feet and the swelling part..so horrible. What can i do other than to drink more water to help with the swelling while at work?

xbeanniex,
Wah but at least you can wear Crocs or Birkie..for my work, need to wear proper shoe. Last time must be covered toes shoes/heels. But now i dun care, i wear those soft flat sole shoes with a little exposure at the toes part. My feet need more air and space to breathe man..

What can I do to minimize the puffiness?
Here are a few tips:
• Put your feet up whenever possible. At work, it helps to keep a stool or pile of books under your desk. At home, lie on your left side when possible.
• Don't cross your legs or ankles while sitting.
• Stretch your legs frequently while sitting: Stretch your leg out, heel first, and gently flex your foot to stretch your calf muscles. Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes.
• Take regular breaks from sitting or standing. A short walk every so often will help keep your blood circulating.
• Wear comfortable shoes that stretch to accommodate the swelling.
• Don't wear socks or stockings that have tight bands around the ankles or calves.
• Try waist-high maternity support stockings. Put them on before you get out of bed in the morning so blood doesn't have a chance to pool around your ankles.
• Drink plenty of water. Surprisingly, this helps your body retain less water.
• Exercise regularly, especially by walking, swimming, or riding an exercise bike. Or try a water aerobics class — immersion in water may temporarily help reduce swelling, particularly if the water level is up near your shoulders.
• Eat well, and avoid junk food.

Eliss: Ok. Well... not racist. My malay colleague also pregnant but he never give her much work and somemore simple work... worse is, his a chinese & i dunno why he act that way.
Rmummy: I also.. i thought it's because i never clean properly but after u said it, i scrub afew times but doesn't come off & somemore red & pain later on.
My tummy got red small spots.. ever since my stomach start to grow. Should be normally right since so many of you have big patches...
I also tend to be lazy... walk abit i'm tired. Haha... but sit too long i also tired. Don't know what to do. sigh.

sun_tan: Not everyone needs to go thru the glucose test. It's normally for pple who have not passed their sugar level test or for pple who have strong diabetic family background if I am not wrong.
hael: I have not pack my bag yet. Think will only pack about 35weeks like that ba. Too lazy now. hehe!!

ann, yup can drink water. they didn't tell me must do urine test also. in fact, must do urine test before they can start the blood test, so i wasted about 30mins because i went to pee before i went to the lab. after urine, they take blood, then made me drink this very sweet drink (quite awful & i felt like throwing up after). 1 hour later, take urine sample & blood test. after that 1 last urine sample + blood test (after another hour). so took about 3 hours in total. i think result quite fast, i'm seeing gynae next wed.
autrumn, ya it's like orange juice, but taste very artificial & very very sweet. i usually don't feel like throwing up after drinking juice, but this drink made me really sick. some more the nurse said if vomit, then the test is cancelled. so have to try very hard not to think about vomiting. must fast from 10pm the night before.
babycoco: You didn't see gynae on the same day? My gynae appt on the same day too. I have heard before the drink very awful one. I hate the taking blood test part and wonder wat to do while waiting for time to be up.
My nurse told me to fast from midnight onward. Then to collect my first urine on the test day. They even give me a bottle to do so at home. At first the nurse say, from midnight onward cannot pee.. i nearly die of shock and looked at her wide eye.. cannot pee.. then she faster correct herself saying cannot drink not cannot pee. Then I heave a sigh of relief.
hael: Haha.. dun need to panic la. But if u wan to be safe, can slowly start packing now lo. No harm packing earlier. Me just too lazy now. Now only wanna pack and clean my BB room.

omigod, u are scaring me..i asked the gynae about the glucose test & she said she will ask me to take at my next appt..but the funny thing is the nurse also never give me specific instructions on fasting etc...somemore if my appt is in the afternoon, cannot be i fast all the way from the night before right?
ann, will the result be out on the same day? so fast. i walked around lor, went to paragon, checked out mothercare, metro, went back, did 2nd blood test, went back to paragon & shopped, and then did 3rd blood test. dunno allowed to do that or not. but they didn't tell me to stay and wait.
