Chine - oh so you same as me? somehow i feel much better - sorry, don't get me wrong. Its just that these few days hubby and I super envy others when we see family having 1 boy and 1 gal in the streets. And then so many mummies havnig princes this year so super duper envy. haha..
And we cant help thinking how come we cannot have a boy. Guess the hormones in me not making it better for me.
Don't get me wrong, i love girls cos I love dolling them up, just that can't help feeling that I let my hubby down cos deep inside me, i am quite tranditional. haha..
BTW- why you say your this P more difficult? Is everything alright? i am on pm leave today to go shopping and if i do not get to log in later, i will try tomorrow so don't think i am ignoring you hor.

iLoveSashimi, some of my friends think 1 is enough. They can't imagine themselves going through the infancy period again!
Some of my friends think 2 is just right, at least the kiddos have a companion.
Really up to individual couple. Most importantly is hubby & wife must agree!
My hubby & I want as many as we can afford I love big families [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] The support & encouragement we give each other is beyond words can explain [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I told my hubby. If he can earn 6digit monthly pay, I will gladly have 20 kids for him.
& before we got married, my mum asked him how many kids he wanted and his answer to my mum,"I'm going to get a bus license to ferry my kids around... so what do you think?" hahaha! of cos my mum was happy lah!
Love, is always enough.
It's the mental, financial & physical effort needed to raise the kiddos that make ppl think twice about having more.
Plus looking at SG's future... I really wonder how my son is gonna afford a house next time...

Jennifer, but reality is.... I will earn 6digit pay faster than my hubby (hopefully)... so he can dream about having 20 kids...
With our current income, max I'm willing to go is 4...

Chine, my hubby is open to staying home & I go earn money instead. This might become true when my boy goes to P1 [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Planning planning planning
Hello mummies, back from my gynae today .. Thanks for the encouragement. For the detail scan, everything looks well. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] My gynae said that blood test results are just probablities and not diagnostic. She did not advise further investigation. And i think it's super confirmed now that i'll be having a boy.
Ilovesashimi: i understand how you feel cos i'm the opposite, yearning for a girl after the 1st boy. Somemore my MIL has outright told me that she like girls and was disappointed when she had my husband... *roll eyes* but well, we are really grateful that baby is well and i'm pretty sure i will love him as much as i love gor gor.
for us, we'll probably stop at 2. My husband is 42 liao, don't think he has the stamina to keep up with 3 kids. And 2 will be nice for our income range, with some frills thrown in.
Realized that my gynae's stomach is as big as mine this morning. Looks like i need to search another gynae or take her back up .. haiz..
lastly need to rant about my insensitive boss. SMSed him that i'm not feeling well and on mc today. He replied immediately if i will be calling in tonight's conf call. Damn pissed off! until now, i still haven't replied ... wondering if i should

SJ, your gynae din inform in advance that she may not be around during your EDD?
Cos my gynae going on holiday and he informed all his patients (on first visit) who are due around the time he is going on holiday so that they can decide not to go to him & quickly pick another gynae...

Some minor things to share with my 1st pregnancy 2 yrs ago. Mostly the "dun dos" yet I still do!
1) I still take cold drinks as usual.
2) I still take seafood.
3) I still run around.
4) I still wash my hair during confinement.
5) I still face the desktop even though I am suppose to rest on bed.
6) I move around without binder even though I had a CSEC wound.
7) I dun wear long sleeve or long pants or move around with slippers at home.
Wahahaha! For my #2 pregnancy, I am still doing the same and will still do the same when time comes.
If can refrain ownself from doing, stick to the "rules", if not, dun be too stress over it. Child will be healthy and happy when the pregnant mum is a happy preggie!
hoho!

chine: i think afternoon slot got its own timing for q number distribution. maybe you want to call the clinic to ask what time they start giving out the numbers.. yes yes, dr koh's scanning machine is very blur.. today he scan, i can't even see the position of my baby, he just measure the head to determine the weight.. my baby shld be ard 300-500g as he mention..
baobei:all the best to you!*hugs*
M1: Glad to hear everything is well for you too
#2: no leh, my gynae did not inform me anything. Just that when she was scanning me, i noticed that her tummy is big too, but i didn't dare to ask (in case she is just fat). Later, i asked one of the nurses at the recep, then they confirm that she is pregnant, but unsure when is her EDD.
So for it to be noticeable, about our time bah ... Can't really imagine a 9 month pregnant woman helping a full due woman deliver...

Hi fellow mummies, 1st time mummy to be here. Have some questions to ask... hope to get some advice here.
I have been buying some baby products so far, but dont really know how much I will actually need. For baby milk bottles, is 2 small and 2 big bottles enough? Im due in late aug/early sept. And should all my bottles be the kind that prevents colic? Thanks.

Hi Gloria,
yeah actually more than enough. FOr 1st 4mths, 2 small one will do. If u intend to do breastfeeding, u might need to get milkbags later on. Dun buy them yet, I bought a lot in the end no supply for bb! Hehe.
Frankly speaking, I dun think those special bottles are necessary. Just make sure bottles are properloy sterilise twice a day will do.
Hi rainy5,
welcome! Yeah, I am lost too. How to join ah? Any kind mummies put the link here?

can anyone rec shifu to "cleanse" my house? need it urgently. thks in advance
I been bleeding everytime I brush my teeth. Yeap, i supposed its normal as I bleed often when I am having #1. I switched to kids toothbrush and it minimised some bleeding.
I used to have a steriliser from pigeon. Then somehow the base got rusty and I switch to the traditional way of sterilising which is submerging everything under boiled water.

I am using the kids toothbrush with soft brisk and managed to minimise some bleeding.
I had googled this from net and it says:-
"Swollen, red, tender gums that bleed when you floss or brush are a sign of pregnancy gingivitis, and they're a common complaint during pregnancy. (About half of moms-to-be have these symptoms.) The inflammation is caused by higher progesterone levels that make your gums more sensitive to the bacteria in plaque and by increased blood supply to your mouth.
You may also develop a benign nodule on your gums that bleeds when you brush. This kind of nodule (which is relatively rare) is called a pregnancy tumor or pyogenic granuloma – scary names for something that's harmless and usually painless. Pregnancy tumors can actually pop up anywhere on your body during pregnancy, but they show up most often in the mouth.
A pregnancy tumor can grow to up to three-quarters of an inch in size and is more likely to appear in an area where you have gingivitis. Typically, it disappears after you have your baby, but if it doesn't, you'll need to have it removed. If it causes discomfort, interferes with chewing or brushing, or starts to bleed excessively, you can have it removed while you're pregnant."
Sounds scary but I still think its common and harmeless bah.
