wah, 2 times more girls than boys!...
I compare my age with other mummies the same age, and the baby's genders are different. Seems like those chinese calendar that uses the age to predict the baby gender may not be accurate coz the conceive month for us Jan babies should be the same.

Speaking of diet control, that really depresses me these days. Ever since the beginning of pregnancy I've been eating like nobody's business and put on quite a bit of weight as a result until my gynae said I should "put on at a slower pace".
So now no choice but to control and not take supper, take super small meals and eat healthy (=not so nice) food. Considering I feel hungry so often, I feel extra deprived! But also scared that I put on weight too fast and have higher chances of developing stretch marks (although I already had some on my thighs n hips pre-pregnancy). Some people say stretch marks are genetic, some say it's overly fast weight gain...

oh yah plus excessive weight gain could lead to gestational diabetes, and/or have a super large baby and need to have caesarean. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
ivftwins,
I also have very bad backache, at the lower part, should be the tail bone.. very pain.. so now, I try to sit very upright.
I just place an order for the ginger cream from the BP... heard feedback that it can help in the relieving the back pain, and is suitable for pregnancy... going to try that once I've received the cream...
U may want to go and try too..

Yeah, I think the back aches will get worse as our tummies get bigger and heavy...
My tummy feels so tight at times, I avoid moving around too much. My belly button is now a slit cause it is being stretched.
*I hate stretched marks!!* Feel so unattractive with the jibra preens....

Long time never hear this term jibra preens. Haha.
I am v scared of looking like a jibra too. Apply clarins oil day n night. Heard it's genetic. Can't help much one.
My backache not tailbone. It's lower back n on my left side. Kidney there har?
Stomach really stretch till I think gg to burst. Inside outside stretch. Can't stand v stretch. Bend a bit when walking.

Hi mummies,
Pls do not fret over the discomfort or ugly appearance that pregnancy brings you because it's a blessing to have them and a healthy baby growing inside you! I'm envious of many of you and I dont think I will mind with all this physical discomfort so long as I can have a healthy baby. Unfortunately, I'm not the lucky one.
On Tuesday, our baby Kayla is confirmed to be diagnosed with hydrocephalus. The situation is pretty bad as her brain has been squeezed to the side and majority of the brain cavity is filled with fluid. My gynae has sent me for a 2nd opinion by his partner practising in the same clinic and both experienced doctors have confirmed the diagnosis. Gynae told us that in some cases, a shunt can be inserted into the brain of a newborn to drain out the brain fluid but this only manages the problem, not curing it. There will be other complications associated with the shunt procedure. What's more, my baby is only 21 weeks now, making it impossible to deliver her and do the shunt now. To make things worse, it's not just the brain fluid we are facing, her upper face from nosebridge is not fully developed, this will pose another set of issues in future if we decide to keep her. If we persist to hold things till she is able to deliver, she might not be able to survive long after birth, or might be born a vegetable. In short, the doctors are not optimistic and chances of good, normal survival of my baby is almost equal to zero. By Singapore law, the legal timeframe to have an abortion is by week 24, afterwhich the baby needs to be carried to full term. This left us with not much time to decide.
There is no difference between a terrible and horrible decision, both are just heartwrenching. Apparently, we see no other options but to let her go. We understood the facts and data before us, things are pretty obvious and we know exactly what we need to do. What's very painful is to say, we will let her go. I had 2 failed pregnancies last year, resulting in miscarriages in the 1st trimester. We were very hopeful for a healthy baby finally this round after passing the 1st trimester but just when we thought things are looking good up till week20, the brain scan during the detailed scan has to show something drastic. Beside having to cope with letting her go, I have to face the fear and pain of delivering her. I dont know what to expect in a natural delivery - the pain, the hrs of labour, the pushing and breathing etc. I am all not prepared for a natural delivery at this time.
I feel that when things never go easy for me & hubby. When bad things happen to us, it will always be the worst and extreme of all, worst of the worst. While some medical problems can be worked out by taking medicine or having a workaround, it has never been any leeway for us, not at least in these 3 failed pregnancies.
My hubby has been yearning for a baby, esp a girl eversince we got married 7 yrs ago. I feel very sorry and sad that he got disappointed again and again. I wish there is someting I can do to comfort him. Although he is not showing his grief, I know he is also bleeding inside.
Unless a miracle happens, baby Kayla will be let go next Monday. May she go to heaven and meet many nice friends to play with. We will miss her and her kicks always....

Hi Furlin, Do take care and be strong. My heart goes to you.
Furlin:
Be brave and take care, letting her go is better than more emotional , physical stress knowing things are not going to be normal. She will come back to you in another healthy body soon [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I lost one in March at 8 weeks and the nurse told me to ask baby to come back to me soon and I got BFP next month again, now 25 weeks. So have faith and tell her to come back to mama soon.
Lots and lots of baby dust to you!

Hi Furlin,
I have 2 MC before this and I feel your pain. Understand nothing can console you now. But believe me time will heal our wounds.
Take good care of your hubby and yourself. Your love ones need you. Cry your heart out if you need. It hurt us and we need to cry. But do wipe your tears and moved on after each session and get ready to embrace good things that will come our way.
Hugz, Jovial

Furlin - I will be praying for you that your darling will come back to you soon. Do take care and remember that your family and friends care very much for you. So be strong yah!

mommies here, have you decided on disposable diaper or cloth diapers yet? Read other threads and saw these sites ->
1. http://www.whoopeekiddies.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_4
2.http://www.bumwear.com/shopping/clothdiaper/catalog.htm?category=15
it is not cheap outlay. It will be cheaper if we continue using it for a year or so i think
