aisha : wat i read from the book is, the symptoms is call heartburn..where the food we ate will flow backwards up. i also having tt everytime. so instead of taking 3 big meals..i cut into 5 small meals..like tt our stomach can contain the food we eat.
and after food don't lie dwn straight..will only make it worst.

hi mummies.. that time i rem someone saying iron & calcium cannot be taken together? but during my last checkup, i was given iron for the first time coz my iron is low. i was told to take iron & calcium in the morn. how far apart shld i take both? and iron not supposed to be taken with milk rite? i juz had milk tea and took my iron pill. will it cause nauseousness or anything?
Sweetkiss- u hv to take either one of d medicine two hours apart.. yah i'v been taking both pills since 2nd trimester, if they find dat ur iron is low u'l hv to get injections in d later part whch i am scared of.. hehe so i'v been taking those pills religiously.. taking Iron is to build enough red blood cells to baby..
Thanks babes.. yup i was surprised coz all along gynae nv gave me iron pills at all. I have been taking multi-vitamins, calcium & fish oil only. Only during my last checkup, i did a blood test & was told that my iron level had dropped a lot.. the nurse said she will give me stronger iron pills & when i told her i have nv taken iron throughout my pregnancy, she was quite shocked...
suntan: I see... i told them i dun wan the calcium also. coz the pills are so big. but the nurse told me need to take daily until i give birth. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I drink milk daily too.. but not the pregnant milk coz i prefer HL milk.
Good morning ladies.
I feel like a zombie today. 2 nights in a row, I couldn't sleep at all. Weather was hot and my back was aching. It's not the whole back aching but just this particular spot nia. It's like a knot being tied there and when I lie down to sleep, the knot gets tighter and tighter till I cannot tahan. If this continues, I think I will die ah.
Hunger: Ya... I feel hungry frequently but then I get full easily too. But still shocked by my own appetite in 3rd trimester cos i never eat much in my 1st or 2nd trimester. But I normally only get heartburn from late noon to night time. Earlier part of the day, I am normal and fine.
Modern baby cloth diapers: I find those very expensive. Was tempted to buy at first but hubby and I felt really ex so decided to stick to traditional diapers.
Iron pills and Calcium pills: They shouldn't be taken together. 2hrs before and after taking iron pills shouldn't have any intake of calcium at all. It doesn't cause nauseousness when taken together but just not so effective. Now I only take fish oil pills and iron pills. I was given iron pills all along lei.. no test was being done to see I have enough iron in me or not.
Yvonne: I think your BB size is just normal. For mine, my BB is 1.366kg @ 27.5weeks. My gynae say a little bit big.

wow! looks like quite a number of babies are starting to engage. mine is still shifting around. most of the time i can feel her butt, like she's digging for treasure down there. hahaha
low in iron think you'll feel tired easily? i was prescribed iron pills right from the start, when gynae looked at my hematocrit level and said it was low. also prescribed me calcium pills even tho i'm already drinking pregnancy milk - she said to prevent cavities. for me, iron pills are taken before food, so i take that 1st thing in the morning. then 2 hrs later, take calcium pill
sleeping position now i find whichever position i sleep, i can't sleep well. sometimes very difficult to breathe. all this while have been sleeping on my back, but now cannot. but sleeping on my left seems ok now - previously i couldn't. and on my right, is out of the question.

hmm dunno leh he used a dummy baby and place it on my tummy to show how my baby is lying inside. when i see the diagrams at babycenter, they also look like heads are always below.. so i tot i was wrong to think that babies usually face up. worse, i used to think that they lie across my tummy like hw they look like in ultrasounds, heads left legs right. hehe... but bb facing down doesnt mean it is engaged rite? i read the whattoexpect book, engaged is like their head has dropped into the pelvic area and they are stuck there till birth.
does anyone know if taking beef will lead to bigger baby? i am also light headed sometimes but not having iron tablets so wondering if shld eat more beef but afraid of big baby situation.

Round And Round We Go
Keep in mind, most babies are fairly active inside the womb and they turn a lot -- even during labor. So, chances are, whatever position your baby is in now will not be the same position he or she will be in a few hours from now.

sweetkiss ya, i think what Serene said is right coz during one check-up, gynae said baby was in sitting position, with legs crossed. i think when baby's engaged, you'll feel less pressure on your upper abdomen but more pressure in the pelvic area
tek koh as long as the brush has no metal at the end of it? not very sure how to describe but Mrs Wong was using an avent brush. just make sure it's soft and not one with the metal tip coz it will scratch the bottles, then they will no longer be BPA-free
no water when BF can't remember about the period, but Mrs Wong said no water required, maybe 5-10ml after feed if you need coz water will fill baby up, so next feed baby may not want to drink as much BM as baby needs
i'm also beginning to forget what i learnt in the antenatal classes. hahaha

Serene: Ya lo.. contradicting.. Maybe should rain when I sleep or a little just before I sleep.. then the air will be cool. haha!!
I wanna eat also must have the ice cream in my hand first. Haha!! Dunno where to get the chestnut ice cream. If order online, also quite ex.
I can feel my BB hicupping again at my pussy. Haha!!
