I usually dun taken fast food especially now when I m carrying the little one. My diet is quite healthy - bread of cheong fun for breadfast, hokkien food usually noodle soup for lunch then stir fried veg & steam fish with rice for dinner. 2 serving of fruits each day. My baby dun really like meat. If I over eat, sure puke.

Just when I thot I am feeling much better, I had nausea the past 2 evenings..I guess I am not eating enough between my lunch time of 12pm and dinner time of 8pm. It was so bad when I was in the MRT yesterday, I nearly threw up! Sigh, looks like I really have to make an effort to go and get some real food for teatime! I have been snacking on fruits in between...
KFC sounds good - but I can not take too much, or I will feel like throwing up again!
TigerLily - your diet is so healthy! Good for you. Somehow for this pregnancy, I have an aversion to fried stuff (which is good!)..but my diet is not so disciplined. I like Macs. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Ladies, ladies..
Thanks! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] This is really God's grace on my mom, cos she'll be looking after my kids. Girls, I feel, are generally "milder" and less jumpy/active than boys. So it'll be easier on my mom, since my boy who would be 4 then, is already a handful! For me, I'm definitely thrilled... beyond words! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Now I'm just hoping and praying hard that my detailed scan in 3 wks time will be smooth... *cross fingers*

Jynnsan,
I am like you now. No craving for anything at all. Not really munching between meals too.
BabyT,
I am attending the april class, just signed up 3 weeks ago. Any mummies in the april wed class?
ShinChan,
I am embarking on this regular one dragonfruit a day thingy. Also trying to cultivate regulate bowel movement every day morning. Hope it moves my bowel movement back to normal.
Your scan is so early. I am envious. My next appt is on 8th May and detailed scan on 22nd May. Will only be able to confirm gender then.
For fruits, mummies here, you may want to buy from Tiong Bahru. There is this wholesale fruit shop at ground floor corner of the block next to Tiong Bahru MRT station, opposite the road from Tiong Bahru Plaza. Payaya is only $2 for one big one and Vietnam dragon fruit (white) is only 80cents each.

How to tell gender from a u/s scan
I've read from some website that in early stages of preg eg. 14wk, the absence of a "birdie" does not mean that the baby will be a girl. To really determine if the baby is a girl, would need to be able to see "3 lines" on the private part, which indicates the folds of the labia.
During my 14wk scan, gynae saw no "birdie". Then again, the "3 lines" were not identifiable at that stage. However, it shows up at my 17wk scan, which is generally a confirmation that it's a girl. But again, like my gynae said, you can't be 100% sure if it's a boy/girl until the baby is born lah.

babyT,
ya, i heard detailed scan is usually scheduled between wk19 to wk21.. so ur timing is jus slightly early bah.. better to wait till the proper time rather than hurry, at least can have a proper scan when bb is developed.
as per my last scan, today i shld be in the 18wk 4days..

babyT,
I have my previous gynae to thank for cos appt always delay by 1 hour. So i tot might as well go sign up for antenatal class. I even got time to go all the shops to compare prices of the baby stuff.
I am also interested in signing up for the Breastfeeding organisation's breastfeeding workshops starting in July. Anyone keen to join too?

Shinchan,
I am not sure why leh. From what i understand from previous gynae, seems like they got renovation works going on for the scanning dept, so some days not available. Heng heng happen to be my 20th week timing so got to delay a bit. The detailed scan date was booked very early in Feb during my 2nd appt. I guess the days before and after the reno must be very packed.

My previous gynae was Dr Yeap. Somehow, first visit i'm the first one at 2pm then subsequently my appt become 2plus. Always when i arrive, there will be still 4 persons before me. Drag drag till 3plus then can see her.
Maybe male dr more chop chop and the patients ask less questions.

I typed wrongly. My detailed scan is on 22nd Apr. Early morning first customer at 8am. Hopefully i can get up in time to reach there early.
BabyT,
Your doc is super chop. So how long he takes to scan bb for you?? My previous gynae will take some time to show my baby, show what he is doing before taking measurements.
Wah... you used up all your MC entitlement liao. That's fast.
