Michelle

It should be to check for thalessemia; a form of blood disorder very common with Asians. I am Thalessemic so hubby was sent for blood test to check if he is. Babies most likely will not survive if both parents are thalessemic.

Good morning ladies!! How's everyone?



RE: Stretchmark Cream

I got some stretchmark left over, dun know can apply or not cos it stated at the back to use on starting on third month pregnancy..



RE: Fish oil

I noticed some had started fish oil. When signing up with gynae, I think only have obmin and calcium tablet only right?? Fish oil we got to pay for it right?? May I know how much is the fish oil? Can get from outside?

[hippopolai]

Hi mummies~~~~



My MS still with me today, puking in the morning... Feel bad... My #1 I never had all these symptoms... I very enjoy the 1st preg... So I was telling my hubby that 1st son more filial... hahahahahaha.....



Hi Michelle S, mine is #2, still thinking whether to deliver @ TMC after go thru the thread, seems that some -ve feedback wor... Haa Haa... Maybe go for hospital trip then decide...



Hi Jojobaby... you have #3 now~!!! Envy!!! Hope I can have #3 three years later.... kekekeke....

 

[kaira_32]

JJ



Congrats to you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[piggytoh]

JJ,

wow twin!!! haha usu twin will gave birth earlier at wk 35/36 leh... but did ur dr say urs is identical twin or non identical???

 

[jojobaby]

Hi Susan & hippopolai,



I also think children are a blessing [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

btw, My #1 is 2 and my #2 is 1 yrs so maybe not so 'envious' when you think I have been and will continue to have 'sleepless' nights for another 1-2 yrs... the good think is the children can grow up together...



Piggytoh,

Thanks in advance for updating



JJ,



Congrats! Twins is good... but you'd need more help to cope-plan early!

 

[precious_janelle]

jj

glad to hear tat u r fine. had a gd rest even though light spotting. congrats on having twins!

 

[pipinana02]

jj: wow twins.. how nice!! congrats! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[kaira_32]

jojobaby,



Do u put your no. 1 & 2 sleep in the same room at night ? If no. 2 cry , will yr no. 1 wake up or will continue to sleep despite the crying.

 

[jojobaby]

Hi Kaira,



Actually, I dont have a choice cos I am staying staying with in-laws(i.e we all stay in 1 room). My #1 (thankfully) is a sound sleeper so sometimes he can sleep through when #2 is crying.. and actually, I think after a while they get used to it...?

 

[kaira_32]

Jojobaby,



Thanks.. I keep thnking how to fit 1 todd and 1 baby in a room at night. Or should I let hubby and my 1st sleep in another room. Don't really like this arrangement. Just hope my boy will get use to it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[kaira_32]

Any mummies use glass milk bottles for your babies ? Find that its quite wasteful using those avent bottles as we need to change like every 3 - 4th months ..
