Hi all,
If you are not into yoga, can try pre-natal pilates instead. Helps me with my backaches!
And a cheaper option to pregnancy pillows is a regular long body pillow (can get frm aussino), cheap, useful and good!!

pinky_j,
do monitor if you are swelling anywhere else.
my feet is bigger la.. dun i dun think it's swelling. swelling can be any trimester.
possible cause of swelling could be water retention or pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH).
be extra careful and monitor swelling especially if it's on hands and face. if you are concern about, can just pop into any GP to get your BP measured.

Hi Ladies
Anyone looking for a good second-hand stroller?
I have a Capella S228 (black and orangey red) for sale at $150. Suitable for newborn. It is a four-wheel drive stroller and the handles are reversible. It comes with full-canopy and a three-point harness. I bought it about 6 months ago at Robinsons (retail price was about $200). It is used occasionally as I also have another Combi stroller (a hand-me-down) from my colleague. I'm letting the Capella go because I have just bought a twin stroller (expecting another bb). Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested. Thank you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

I'm with KKH too. Currently only given Multi-Vits. Gynae shared that he will start me on Fish oil at the next visit (week 30). This is the same case as my #1. Not sure if its a KK practice or its just my gynae but the fish oil is started towards the end of 2nd to early 3rd trimester. Not prescribed any calcium.
re: sleeping position
I used a normal pillow to support my tummy when I sleep on my sides. Find that it is more comfortable to sleep on my sides than on my back. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Almost blackout the other day when I stand for about 20-30 mins. Started seeing stars and got ear block. Turned so pale that I scared my helper and some passers-by. Had to squat down and rest for 15 min before I can even stand up and walk properly. So scary... so mummies, please take care of yourselves.

jass1408,
That's what happened to me too! Was really scary at the time cos wasn't expecting it. But when I told my gynae about it, he was quite unconcerned, apparently this happens frequently once we hit week 20+. As long as your blood pressure is ok and there are no other symptoms like contractions or anything it's not a serious matter usually.

Hi all,
I am starting to feel itchy all over my body, sometimes face also, but those arent even real itch, cos if I tried to scratch, it will like go some other part and itch, kind of like imaginery itch all over! Does any of u have this too?
As for swelling, sometimes when I wake up, joints of my fingers or ankle have that feeling but will go away after a while. I have bad water retention at the last tri for my 1st baby, that I took injection to ease the pain of walking. Hope this round wont be that bad again.

Lily & Luckymummy:
Thanks. I checked with my gynae as my BP is quite low this time round 40+/80+. He says its quite common for pregnant mum to have lower BP. Just be care and don't stand for long. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]) Hahaha but then ever since that happens, I'm a bit paranoid.

Do take care Jass1408 and Luckymummy. For me i do feel giddy when i suddenly stand up sometimes can see stars... and getting breathless easily.
I dont get all these when i carried my 1st child wonder is it due to age catching up [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

My feet n ankle has swelled too! I also tot it's too early to have such swelling. I couldn't fit into my working shoes so went to buy a pair of Crocs.
First time I'm wearing Crocs n I think Crocs doesn't suit me. The support is quite bad until now the part behind my right ankle is very pain. N my ankle is hard n stiff! So I'm walking around with a limp, plus body weight is heavier. Terrible.
Anyone can advise wat is a good pair of shoes to wear that can also accommodate a swelling feet?

Hi mummies,
I am attending pre-natal yoga classes and my instructor gave us some tips.
1. To prevent water retention and variscose veins for legs, lie on your side, raise one leg up and do ankle rotation. But must support your leg when doing this as we are not as flexible now. And of course, you can raise your legs higher with cushions when watching TV at home.
2. To prevent water retention of fingers, do wrist rotation and shake your wrists (like you are drying your hands).

Hi Mummies,
Can I ask, when they always say put cushions or pillows to raise up your feet, do they mean put them at the feet part or the knees part? i find it very uncomfy if the pillows are propped at the ankles part, but if I put the pillows below the knees, then the foot not really raised leh...

Bethel: U can try Fitflops.. I wear them from 1st tri until now.. no much back aches.. ;-) But abit ex lah...
Misty: raise your feet = placing the pillows at the ankles.. may have to stack one or two to get the height.
To reduce water reduction, can also drink more small amount of water regularly throughout the day.. But dun drink too much before u slp loh..

Lily, Apple,
I've seen fit flops, they look like birkenstocks ya?
Do they hv those covered toes kinda shoes?
Dun think I can wear slipper-like shoes to work.
Re:sleeping
I hv a normal adult pillow under my ankle to prop my feet up.
And I can only sleep on my left side with a baby pillow to support my tummy.

FitFlops - am also wearing Fitflops, but i do get backaches.. Perhaps it helps me reduce the backache bah coz i find when i wear other shoes, i dont get much support. I bot mine from Amazon - ard $70+ after shipping, isetan/OG - selling $100odd.
casey - Me also another victim of cold and cough with chesty phelgm. Sigh....2 trimesters, and i get 3 episodes of it. It gets very bad at night coz of the blocked nose I cant sleep. I did get medicine from Gynae, and take it unless v unbearable kind. It's non drowsy thus gynae says its safe.

Hmmm.. I also scared that i might trip too.. But after wearing fitflops, really can feel the difference vs the normal shoes such as flats.. I think it is due to the thick soles.. didnt get leg cramps or aches when walk for very long time..
Poor mummy: are u sleeping in air-con room?? My first tri is like tat.. kept having flu.. Now i take multi-vit plus at least 1 or 2 potions of fruits.. Now at least better..

Hi Casey31,
I had a very bad case of flu and cough with phglem. Sooooooo bad I couldn't sleep lying down! Saw a doctor but refused to take medicine, then my hubby said why I even bother to see doctor if i don't wanna take medication! Grrr. Anyway after 3 days, couldn't tahan, went back to the doctor for medication, which was a wise move as the doctor commented that excessive coughing will be very distressful for the baby and he assured that the medication will have no bad effects on the baby. Took me another 10 days to recover but I'm glad I took the doctor's advice else dunno have to suffer for how long...

try the following tricks when down w flu/cold
simple, easy, tried and tested since i'm allergic to some anit-biotics (therefore avoid whenever possible):
1. i gargle salt water. this is effective in bringing down throat inflammation due to cold
2. hydrate, drink lots of water. can even add those efferversence vitamin C into water to increase immunity
3. avoid junk food. eat fruits
4. ginger tea..
5. drink hot liquid and take steamy bath helps prevent nasal congestion
6. sleep semi-incline
