It seem that quite a number of u hv gone for gynae check-up. I hv to wait for another two more wks.. Miss baby alot..



Feimei: yr baby is 1 kg already too.. Gd that bb is doing well..



Pinkyrose, don't worry abt tum2 small. U are small size. So it natural that yr tum2 also small. As long bb doing well its gd..



Janice, gd to hear to u want to try natual. Def encourage u to do that.. Don't worry abt v loosen up.. It won't be much diff.

Don't worry to much. Trust yr gynae since u hv choosen her

as yr doc. She won't anyhow say things. She will tell u what

u shld knw..



Btw do any of u feel breathless n tired aft walking a short dist? I am coming to 24 wks this fri i get breathless n tired very easily. When pre with #1 , i nt so fast tired till 7 mths plus.. Nw walk abit only, i want to stop walking n rest . Anyone exp it?

 

[timberchampagne]

baby> i do feel breathless at times but not for short distances n i dun get tired so easily now compared to my first 3 mths. maybe i dun work??



my stomach itches like nobody business n i cant event scratch it. i keep applying oilment...so ITCHY!

XW.. my hb more for play than to take care of kids.. ours wasn't unplanned he tries to b hands on.. then play his game late into e nite.. so he will fall sick more easily.. he cannot give up watching tv n also playing game despite the v lil time we hav with e kids.. i hav a helper but i also dun wan e help to b closest to the kid.. my mum plays a v active role in taking care of him.. let's pray hard our hubbies will come around soon..

LadyGeorgette,

I bought the breastfeeding book you mentioned by sister Kang. I bought it at Baby fair for $20 when I signed up the Mount A ladies card. I have not read it though, but I have browsed through the contents and find the information in the book quite handy. However, you can also get other better breastfeeding books at $20. Here are the few books which I recommended earlier in this thread:



1.) The Breastfeeding Book by William Sears

http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780316779241/The-Breastfeeding-Book



2.) The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by JackNewman

http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780307345585/The-Ultimate-Breastfeeding-Book-of-Answers



3.) So That's what They're for by Janet Tamaro

http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781593372859/So-Thats-What-Theyre-For!

 

[happytobemum]

[timberchampagne]

feimei> oh ic. my gynae's nurse told me tat since my appetite is good, so she is not giving me any multi-vits. folic acid coz i didnt take any iron, yeah for our blood inflow. you know the calcium pills i m taking now is like gummy-bear sweets, its chewable, and taste really nice. if you wan this, i can help you to get 1 bottle? then you will never forget to take e calcium. take it like a sweet and no need water. hehee..

[xinyue]

janice > some preggy clothes are very nice and chic de.. If you find preggy clothes auntie/expensive, maybe can get some larger sizes clothes which fits u..



I am wearing mixture of preggy and larger sizes clothes..

 

[laura_yaya]

Janice, yap.. all given by my gynae.. eat until blur blur liao... baby asprin is the latest addition to my supplement regmine after my DS scan. to thin my blood so as to optimise the blood flow to the baby....

 

[feimei]

yaya> u ate Obimin n calcium together? good to take separately w 2hrs interval becos calcium might not absorb if taking 2gether w multi-vits...u may wan to ask ur gynae is that so??? that's y i always forgot my calcium pill becos i will take either lunchtime or evening time....

 

[sugarspunlily]

Im only eating multi vitamins leh, shld b ok hor...how come, elaine C, u r eating so many /

 

[xinyue]
