angeline,
don't worry, I eat like a pig. I ate biscuits every 1-2hours. then lunch, then 1-2hrs take milo, then biscuits, snacks, dinner, milk then supper. I ate too much KFC and Mcdonalds though I take small meals. =/
if I feels I can't eat, I take biscuits and annum milk. I don't need nutrients, bb also need. I will try to eat little by little. That's y there is a bulge. Maybe its weight gaining bulge. LOL!
tabbyz,
ya, my colleague commented something so bad and funny this morning! Because I have a skinny frame, he said thats y can see bulge. If another colleague, A, who is pregnant, no one can tell cause she always have that big tummy all year round! Mean! But I laughed... =x

cherylden, you have such a demanding boss!!! you must love your job very much to stand the boss..
esther, really so mean! He'll get his retribution!! Hahaha..
angeline, don't worry so much about tummy showing. It does not mean that your bb is not growing if you're not showing!!!

minidiary,
i didn't use pregnancy pillow at all when having #1. don't think it's necessary to spend so much on a pillow which you are gonna use for a few months only. instead, i bought a pillow from ikea (meant for tummy sleepers) and propped it against my back or under tummy when i sleep sideways and it's just as helpful. it's cheap too, only $12 if i remember correctly.
tabbyz,
take the hot cheng teng then. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] it's ok to drink such desserts once in a while.

minidiary,
the pillow is flatter than those ordinary ones and quite soft. if you fold it up and prop behind your back while you lie on your sides, it's pretty firm and can support well. 'cos when we sleep we sometimes will move a bit and sort of half-turn to back position and that's when backache will come. the pillow will better prevent that. at least it worked for me.

oh yes, the nurses also gave me this FBI brochure. Haven't read it yet. But the benefits look good. Will probably sign up for it.
pray&love, so fast looking at maternity wear? Hehehe.. I'm thinking of just buying lots of babydoll dresses. At least I can still wear them after delivery. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
cheryden, wow.. getting pregnant one month after you join the company.. Of course they need to give you the 4 months maternity. Even if you are pregnant before you join, they still need to give you the maternity leave. If not, you can go to AWARE!

pray&love, babydoll dresses are similar to maternity dresses. You can google them. I love babydoll dresses.. They're really comfortable and hides the tummy after a full meal! Hehehe.. I'm thinking of quitting every single day since my MS started. But I can't survive on my HB's pay alone.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
So hungry! Took cereal already but still feeling hungry.
My bad meanie colleagues are out for 1hour 20mins and still not back with my lunch! *&^$#$^*
And they went to such a faraway building for lunch knowing I can't go out and need them to ta bao! Feels like scolding vulgarities.

1d1r, your husband is REALLY damn nice.. I can't imagine my DH's reaction if I ask him to go EXPO's mother fair to check out the good deals for me! He'll probably offer to pay the original price for me. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Feels like slapping her damn face!
Pardon me but I m piss with her. Sigh.

Tabbyz, all the time. If he only does that when I'm preggie, I won't want him! hahahaha!
For the past 5 years, every night he will massage me before I sleep... when he go reservist, he will find excuse to book out at night to spend at least a few hours with me, then book in again...
Now preggie, even better... his massages are longer (around 1hr) and he will even volunteer to blow dry my hair for me (or pay for me to go salon twice a week).

Tabbyz, that's why I always tell my students: Finding the right one is more important than finding the rich one.

RabbitBB, braised duck rice..... I'm salivating!!!
half day is nvr worth it one...
i rmb my boy's CC, half day CC is more exp than full day CC! So we enrol him full day but bring him home early So at least sometimes if really need, we can still leave him there for whole day [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
My first skool is under NTUC. Considered 'non-profit' so prices usually cheaper. You can try looking for those non-profit organisation ones.. usually cheaper...
My first skool is not too bad. My friend's girl is at the one near her office (think OCBC building). her girl learn a lot there. Very clever (and talkative with big vocab).

Ya man! I shall do that iphone app! She's a vegetarian and I always say, if your heart is black, its useless to be a vegetarian. She always backstab other colleagues. Hope I wont kena.
Pray&Love,
ok ok, I be patient, think too hungry just now.... Breath in, breath out!
tabbyz,
Ok, tai jiao! But I scolded many inside my heart... wahahaha... *faints*
I am still at some risk level (blood clot just won't go away) Dr Tham tells me not to walk too much, and I really have to come back to work, I would'nt need to beg people to help me get food. I will just walk out and save myself the anger.
Haiz.

Like to backstab ppl??? YIKES!!!
Actually, there was once I almost kena backstabbed. Thankfully another colleague warned me, so I play taiji and throw her backstab back at herself and she kena scolded from boss big big time! hahaha!!
And all I said to my boss was,"I finished my part of the project and emailed it to you. Let me know if it's ok. And BTW, if someone comes to complain about me for this project, what she's saying is actually about herself. Check my work and you'll know what I mean."
That woman tell my boss i nvr follow deadline, give her lousy work to follow up on, etc etc...
hahaha! shoot herself only!

Luv.... tell your hubby, massage package would be nicer than massage gadget
I bought a massage chair for hubby cos he's too fat, need too much energy to massage lah...
I can walk on his back and he tell me very shiok!
Recently signed a foot reflexology package for him too.
Hubby and wifey must have 2 way communication and must give and take [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

1d1r> My first skool full day is about $1271 so i think send down for half day is fine for my arrangement as MIL can look after till 12+ and as I have flexibility to go out (I do sales) I can fetch bb to the centre at 1pm.
How to know if its Non-profit? Ya i heard my friend mentioned IFC is good cos they will learn at the centre too. Just hope the bb dun come and
"ding zui" so fast..lol
esther> good you ate already, remember to put some cereals or biscuit in office. Like sometimes I get so hungry I will eat a biscuit while waiting for lunch. Preggy cannot go hungry for too long

esther, ...like to backstab people?! What the... she's not a team player. this will cause unnecessary conflicts. this is not good for company long term.
1d1r, heh~ i dun like package. before marriage MIL ever bot a facial package for me but i didn't finish it cos the pple there were hard-selling. In the end i returned the unused portion to MIL.
the massage gadget is now not being used regularly as i've no back problems right now. maybe we'll wait a few more months before buying a foot massage as hb knows i get severe water retention starting from 5mos preggy.
