There isn't a maternity section in that outlet.. I just picked the dresses that r flare and roomy at waist area.. I chose all black pieces and they made me look "unpregnant" hahaha Usual price 100+, after discount only 39 or 49~!

I feel that I see her all the time (morning.. afternoon and night.. as if she got no break) and she once called me while I was resting at home after operation just to check if I am coping well.. very nice doc..

 
Sunshinebb - u are really very patient too... I have got two left hands can never do handi craft... Not even cross stitch...



Hui - AMK central... Never try that before... Hmmm... Will go check it out...

 
Hi Audrey and Hui,



You 2 eat 800mg of folic acid per day? I saw the folic acid my gynae give me only 5mg lei.. like that i eating too little?

 
Hi Ladies,



I am considering if I should go for pre-natal acupuncture. Does anyone have any views/is considering of going for pre-natal acupuncture ?

 
Anyone reading "what to expect: the first year"? It's from the same series as "what to expect when you're expecting".



I just bought the book yesterday and found it really helpful n informative.. My friend told me to read it before delivery coz baby is out there will b no time to read anymore~



There are sections on breastfeeding, buying for baby (neccessities , wardrobe, nursery stuff etc) and what to expect every month!



Very interesting [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Highly recommended.



I also bought a book on baby sign language coz I heard that it aids bb's cognitive development.. So mummies here might wanna take a look.

 
Hui- I eat 2 tablets at a time.. Hehe so total up to 800mg lor



Nikokin - 1000mg is 1g check the units bah.. If I dun Remb wrongly, b4 conceive is 400mg, after which is 600mg.. Read on "what to expect" from the iPhone app de [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] KK prescribed 0.5g should be a safe level de



Over dosing of Folic will jus be pass out as urine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Audrey - I'm also using the same app as u on the iPhone... U still not aslp or just woke up...



Nana- mum - Been wanting to get this book as their iPhone app is already quite gd... The entire book will provide more details...

 
Lynn - running errands leh.. DH grandfather went to heaven... M having absolutely irregular meals today, just manage to have my dinner.. Cos woke up at 4pm , lunch at 7pm.. And just ate dinner.. I think I m gonna fly up soon.. Haha

 
Audrey - Take good care of urself... Even if u dun eat on time do remember to take sufficient fluids...

God Bless...

 
Lynn,

Ya.. The "what to expect when u r expecting" is really good!! Saved me many worries



But "the first year" is not available on apps yet..after the first year, there is even a "the toddler years"

my morning sickness cameback with a vengeance!! it is even worse os i was having migraine at the same time. :'(

everthing i eat i throw up! even 2 pieces of prune oso throw up! this morning oso vomitted some bile juice (yellow colored). n worse still hv not recovered from migraine even eating 2 panadols. no choice liao, i will hv to take painkiller later.



lynn, i hv both books. best to read wat to expect when expecting and then the first year when bb is born.

 
Good morning, MTBs!



I was updating the previous posts till I came across the maternity leave conversation.



Here's what I'm planning: My EDD is 2nd July but I'm gonna pop LATEST 30th June. Cos my company financial year is July-June and if I deliver after July, I will not be entitiled to childcare leave of 6days. I've yet to reconfirm with HR but this was what happened to my colleague before.



Another reason: I heard babies born after July 1st 2011 will not be entitle the CDA from govt. I heard this from 2 civil servant staff. I think the news is not confirmed yet but heard from 2 different people, so at this moment, my decision to pop by 30th June is right.



Lastly, I'm not too sure if any of you heard about preggy taking hospital leave before deliver? My sis and aunt took theirs before deliver. So, I guess during my last 2 visits to gynae, somewhere in early June (I hope), I intend to use up the last 20days of my hospital leave (Financial Year ends June30th) and continue right uo to maternity leave which I calculate will start taking on 27th roughly cos I will definitely ask for induce labour before strike July.



In this case, I hope I will rest before delivery using HL instead of ML.



I heard you can request HL from your gynae.

 
Bells Twins - no more CDA... sounds bad... Was also planning on having the extra 6k fm govt contribution to bring total to 12k... Can use longer...



Anyone know when is our next budget? May have more goodies for us? Or will we miss it... Cause I thunk usually in Aug if I'm not wrong...

 
BellaTwins - CDA means the baby bonus isit? that means what Lynn says put in the 6K and govt will contribute another 6k that program after July no more? what is the max that we can put?

 
oh gosh!! bellawins. is dis news confirm. like dat we r lugi ;( sounds bad if we dun have the CDA for bb.

 
modisch: if you are taking the blue big "vigra" look migraine medicine.. that one is not safe for preg lady.. you should see your GP again for migraine medicine and mention you are expecting..



I had migraine too.. that's what my GP told me..

 
hi gals, do u intend to get the BabyPlus? I was listening to the samples of what e baby will hear and got a shock when i 1st heard it... it's just Pom Pom Pom kind of sound... useful mah? :p



saw on website that it's out of stock... got to pre-order... dunno whether to buy... hv to start using at 18 wks, so still got time to wait...

 
tingie, on n off i got backache...but my left butt got this ache, not sure if i sprain it...esp if i turn to my left side, i feel the pain...but sitting n standing is ok worrr...my tummy nw big...dun thing its bloated becos when i lie dwn n beat my tummy, theres no air sound...n my tummy gt hardern...tink bb move up liao????

 
BellaTwins, I've just sent an email to MCYS' Baby Bonus account, lets c what they reply... it'll be sad if they stop the CDA thing... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
crayon, do update us on their reply....tats realli unfair for us if govt gonna remove it....[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
feimei, sure, will keep u gals updated! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



ask ur DH to massage your butt, see if u'll feel better? but dun massage too hard ah... :p



my tummy is hard n big mostly in the evenings now. In the morning, it's usually softer.. Btw, r our tummies supposed to look obvious at the beginning of 2nd tri? hehe...

 
Crayon - Thanks for helping to send... Do keep us updated on the reply...



IcezJo - Yap the self contribution account which govt will top for dollar for dollar up to 6k (this is for first born, not sure if all kids also the same) is the CDA account.



Nana - Synflex aka the little blue pill cannot take when preggy.. If I'm not wrong most migraine medicine also not suitable... Take more fluids and rest more...

 
yeA there is a bump below the belly button now.. much harder than before ...still feels bloated ... v anti-climax when the lousy feeling comes... no mood for anything everyday...

 
Lynn - no prob! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] just hope they reply within 3 working days... hehe...
