Starry: Thanks for all the resources!! Really appreciate it! Really feel so green.
Joanne: I used to really hate drinking powdered milk, but my mum convinced me to drink it for baby's sake and she bought a tin of Milo for me to put in to change the taste! So yeah, for powdered milk, can put in one scoop of Milo! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Pigy,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Cry if u feel like it, u need to let out your emotions, but take care not to let yourself fall into depression ok? It's gonna be a challenge facing your pregnant colleague everyday, but I hope u can focus on sharing her joy and let go of other negative feelings like envy and jealousy. We hope to hear good news from you again! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Pigy, sorry to hear that. Its normal to feel sad and grieve. Was told hormone will also swing thus may just cry without reason.
Do mini confinement, need to rest and let womb be strong. I drink longan red dates tea and tonic soup that comes with the confinement meal I catered.

Starry,
For flashcards, can DIY! Can google for free resources online or if u like, can also borrow the Glenn Doman book "how to teach babies to read" from library where he has clear instructions on the recommended size of card, words to be written in bold red, and how to flash rapidly to the child. My colleagues though prefer to buy 2nd hand flashcards from eBay to save the effort. I only do the flashcards once a day, in the evening after dinner, but even then can see results later! At the beginning u may not feel encouraged cos baby cannot show u whether she is learning or not, but rest assured she is! One fine day she will shock u by picking up a card and telling u it's "CAR" hee! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

was anyone caught on the train this morning? heard that it stalled along EW line for 1.5hrs! thank God i didn't go to work today as i usually travel that line and just nice that timing!! wah lao.. cannot imagine being in there with the poor ventilation. heard a man suffered heart attack in there. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] hope he is okay. let's see our our WORLD CLASS train service is going to say about this.. apparently they could have let passengers out at Redhill first but some pig head went ahead to operate the train anyway and got stuck in the tunnels. real idiots..

Btw ladies I am also into ribena and other sweet flavored drinks!! And I like them chilled!! And I also find myself loving hot tea, be it Chinese tea or Japanese tea, I know we're supposed to limit caffeine intake, but tea has such a nice calming effect on my stomach! How, I seem to love all the wrong foods, or rather drinks

That time at 13wks, my gynae told us 90% boy, we were thrilled!(Cos' all along i hope for a boy first!) [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Incidently, among my group of pri sch friends who still kept in touch, all our first born are boys!
leikela: don't worry so much, all will be fine, you should be able to see bb's heartbeat now.

littlebb: if is boy, easier and faster can detect, provided bb is in gd position for you to see. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] That's why i pray this time, i won't be able to see something sticking out,haahaa.

Tiny Voice, for my #1, Dr Tony Tan (another gynea) did my OSCAR test and he said, did I tell you the baby's gender and straight away we knew it was boy. It was 90% accurate. My boy's gender was 100% confirm by the next gynea visit.
I was so happy back then cos I wanted a boy first. So hopefully this time round, it will be a girl.

OSCAR test is similar to an ultrasound. The readings are compute into a pc and the gynea will input your age etc and from there it will give you a stats/percentage on the Down Syndrome rate based on X number of pple in the same age range etc.
I had a 2 blood tests done because the first result showed that I'm a thalassemia minor, 2nd blood test done together with DH to determine if he is normal.

tilsa,
Don't worry so much. Rest well these few days and see how in 2 weeks' time. There are a lot of cases whereby baby is healthy and nothing wrong at all.
Ssbaby,
Happy for u! Baby's heartbeat sounds very nice right? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I'm also waiting at the clinic for my appt. The nurse screwed up my appt and didn't put me on the list. Was told that gynae didn't bring my case file because he wasn't expecting me lor! So frustrating!! And my MS came back after 2 days' disappearance. Ugh...

Ladies,
Just an update on my checkup today. Currently am at 8weeks plus, heard bb heart beat and saw it has grew quite a bit and it's measuring 17mm now. : )
My beanie was spreading his/her limbs and was in an upside down position. So cute. Going to do my OSCAR on 4/5/11.
Brought my #1 with me to my checkup and gynae showed her the baby on the screen. She wasn't too excited, guess she is still not use to have someone to share our attention/love. My mil is also currently looking after my bil's newborn and the bb was back home last night. My dd was so upset the whole night and behaved like a baby, refused to communicate the usual way and was cooing like a bb. Haiz, i guess i really have to read up more on how to make #1 comfortable n acceptable to a new member in the family.
Pigy,
Take care and rest well!
ssbaby,
Wow, u going to find out the gender on ur next visit? That's fast. Must be very exciting.

hi mommies. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Wah.. Really waited a nong nong time to see little beanie yesterday! I almost wanted to go bang table when they told me they will let other patients who came after me go in see doc first. Blood boiling that time. I told the counter staff off and said first, it wasn't my fault the appt was screwed up. Second, they cannot waste my time and make me wait and tell me ppl are going to cut my queue. Lastly, told the counter nurse to please make sure their staff treat appts seriously and don't mess up. If emergency how? Die lah like that. So after that I was told doc will see me next! Finally!!
My Gynae is a nice man. Kept apologizing for his staff and for making me wait. Saw beanie and it is well. Grew a good 5-6mm over 4 days. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Heartbeat also clear and strong. Later in the evening when I was home, the nurse who messed up the appt called me! She apologized and asked how I was and chatted a bit. I was very impressed that she actually called after office hrs. Made me feel a bit bad for getting so frustrated earlier.
