Went for scan today and happy to know that everything is fine. The gynae so funny, scan 1/2 way and asked us anything else we wanna scan? Then the nurse asked us whether we know the gender and in the end, the gyane says might be a boy cos seems like got something sticking up. I hope he is right, dun get me happy for nothing!

Hello everyone!
I was so swarmed by work that I couldn't come in and chat chat. Only read all the postings at night to wind down the day. This month is tough, project rushing for dateline. Now in office, sneaking some time off to rest.
Maternity Leave + Childcare leabe
I already told my boss how I would like to take my ML. Something like take 12 weeks of ML, then clear my last year annual leave + whatever family care/ childcare leave I have. In Jan, I will work half day for half a month. Reason given as I am sending baby to infant care, not sure how everything would turn up. But boss is kind, he would take it as I would disappear for 4 months. And upon returning to work, I would be assigned light duties, so that I can adjust and cope with my new family duties.
But whatever it is, I still need to seek HR's approval on my plan. Will probably ask them in June/ July.
2nd trimester
Simbaobao - so good! you are now in 2nd trimester. I'm still at 12wk, have to endure another 2 more weeks. I'm so eager for the start of 2nd trimester, so that I can freely announce this happy news.
Shopping for baby's stuff
Yesterday used my last ounce of energy and went to John Little. Though having sales, we still didnt buy anything. I think we were just too overwhelmed by the number of things we need for the baby, that we don't know what to get. Haha...
Wanted to buy 2 sets of baby clothes. One meant for baby to wear when we get discharged. And another set for the Full Month celebration. But the different sizes threw me off. How come the baby's clothes come in size 12, 14, 16? How do I choose what size?
*a lot of question marks*
Enjoy your weekend! I'm heading back to work... sob sob. Tomorrow going to be the same too... double sob [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Simbaobao, during my first pregnancy, we could clearly see 2 balls and a stick between the legs at 12 weeks [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
pommes,
dont think need to have a set of clothes for bb when discharge. Usually they wear the hospital set home. U can check with the hosptial.
Also, dont buy too many Newborn papers, hospital will give u a pack (or rather, whatever's remaining from bb's use at the hospital). Some babies wear S size when they are one or two weeks old.
Dont feel so overwhelem. Should only start buying after the detailed scanning actually.

Wah! So exciting to know the gender at w12. Gynae and sonographer did not mention anything but during bloodtest, nurse asked if i wish for a boy/girl. I have no preference but think the confirmation will throw me into an excited shopping mood too. Went to mothercare sale yday and was overwhelmed by the crowd plus variety of stuff. And we both agreed kiddo stuff are so expensive! Anyway, we walked 2 rounds and popped next door to Howard, felt more comfy immed. Hb was saying...so many preg woman, who said rabbit year less competitive than dragon year one ah?

I like the fact that it's light but only suitable up to 2 years old. Aft 2 years old , have to look for another stroller? But my cousin still using combi for her 4 yo son.

Simbaobao I dun know leh but I have ald eaten nasi bryani a few times. But I didn't eat a-char cos I feel it's not "fresh". The only thing my mil strongly object me from having is grass jelly n the big bananas that ntuc always sell cos she said those r v liang. Basically I eat whatever I like now .
@muffin my gynae didn't say anything abt the weight or measurement. I only know the weight n measurement from the scan pic. Does your gynae say?

My belly itched the whole night and I kept waking up to go the the toilet. Super disruptive night. Now on the way to church to teach. And all my clothes are getting snug and hb's comments are not helping. Quite irritated at him.
Sung - take more liquid diet like porridge.

Prenra, my gynea told me not to use heating pad (mine is the electric heating pad) but just to keep warm and rub... Cos the heating pad will increase our body temp and it's not good for baby...

MZ, depends on the anaesthetist's skill. Mine was senior anaesthetist at TMC, he took less than 3 minutes to set up & insert. Relief came within 5 minutes [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I read some horror stories abt the trainees at govt hospitals. Can jab dunno how many times and still not get it in the right place.... scary!!

I nearly fainted in church, but managed to sit down and regained my stability. Hope it's not serious about bb. The feeling just came suddenly, and I seemed to lose my balance and hearing and was falling. Instantly, grabbed onto my hb for support but I was so scared I'll black out completely.
hello! virgomtb,
Today is the start of celebration for my daughter's 2nd bday. Will be having bday lunch at home with family, then will pack for sentosa after lunch is over. Tomorrow will be having bday celebration for her at her playgroup and then we will be off to sentosa until Wed! Hope she will enjoy it! Probably have only until she is 6 yrs old to celebrate in this manner. When she goes primary, will have to follow the school holidays liao.
