@all mtb - thank you for your encouragement for past few days during my agonizing wait for CVS results. Result is normal for the usual problematic chromosones. The rest of report will be out in 2-3 wks' time.

Wendy,
Hope you're much better now. Dun worry yourself too much, follow docs instructions n rest well. I know how stressful bleeding can be becoz I had it in my first pregnancy. After 1-2 months of bedrest everything was normal n I had a healthy 3.3 kg bb boy. Have faith in yourself n your bb. Also dun keep ur pain n discomfort to yourself. Especially pain that is very bad. It's ur body's way of telling you something is not very rite so bring it up to ur doc. You shd b as comfortable as possi in pregnancy if not u will get very stressed up.

I’m ok now so do rest, rest and rest!!!
On abstaining – hmmm… till now have not ‘tat’ yet. Cos simply no mood lar. Actually I do pity hubbies during these period too.. I mean.. for them is more a need than a want??

How are all mommies feeling?
Wendy, Jia you!
Chan, good to hear the favorable result.
Cloud, hmm... like my 2WW after IVF.. 2WW after embryo transfer, then 2WW after preg blood test to scan for heartbeat...
gbh, wow to your #1!!
Talking about growth and motor skills. Recently I found our a few children in my usual play dates are having issues with their developemnt:
1. one of the child (and her brother) has this genetic slow-growth genes. They may be slower than other kids in terms of their motor skills, and usually smaller in size.
2. Hyperlexic - this kid has another twin brother. They were very premature at birth, doctor was unable to diagnose how extensive the brain damage could be. Both of them grow up fine, but recently, one had been diagnosed with hyperlexia. It's similar to autism but different. He is super bright, he could read A-Z front and backward before 2 years old. Usually they are very very smart and excel at what their interest lies, but very very bad in social skills.
3. Slow in speech - still unable to say any word at 23 mths. Usually the doctor will find our if it has to do with the muscles around the jaw or is it to do with brain signals. I hope it is muscles, cos he is slowest in crawling and walking compared to most boys in that play date.

Cloud942: It's hard waiting for results and I know it's easier said than done. But hope to encourage you to do activities that make you happy and look for company to chit-chat and catch up. It may be the best you can do for your bb now! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi Jacqueline,
We've not talked before on this forum but it's good to hear from you that you are now well. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
My EDD's the last day of Dec so I'm not in 2nd trimester but am sure the majority of moms here are in their 2nd trimester as you had mentioned.
My MS are still tiredness, lack of stamina and slight nausea but I am just mainly feeling happy yet thinking of what to prepare for new arrival as first time mum-to-be

RE: Diaper bag
my POV.
1. I did not find those diaper bag that are given to me useful. I went to the hospital with my travel trolley bag, and needed concierge svc when I checked out.
2. I find LeSportSac the lightest.
3. If you intend to travel, I strongly recommend SkipHop. Heavy but great (especially the "Duo" meant for moms with twin or more than one baby) for packing the whole house exp the kitchen sink.
4. Kate Spade - stylish and usually light.
5. Coach - can be heavy.
6. Long Champ (tote)- my all time favorite as a rough use bag. To be used a diaper bag, I suggest u get a bag organizer (available in most dept store).
Bear in mind different series has different size. E.g. the La Pliage range's "M" size is diff from the Planetes'. And so does their, Victoire.

Jacqueline, welcome back.
But Neverfull is heavy.. And it is also like LongChamp, one compartment. I normally get my bags from Europe, can claim VAT.. Then again, if you have friends going N.Z. their DFS is also not bad. Based on the exchg rate now and the discount they offer, you can get up to 40% less than what is sold here. I have one Gucci and a Dior from there, prices were comparable with Europe.

@cloud - I'm the pessimistic kancheong type who can't wait 2 wks for results so we opted for fast results which only confirm got DS or not. Rest of result still have to wait 2 wks.
@carpe diem - my ex-colleague gave me a hardcopy check-list of baby items to prepare. I'll share here later.
@ all mtb - i'm onto my 13wk. Appetite quite gd but can't eat too much at each meal or else the bloatedness will be quite bad. My food cravings change every other day. 2 days ago was fish steamboat, tdy's claypot rice. Addicted to apple juice for past 2 weeks, before that was 100plus.
Me not working so can sleep till a bit later, watch dramas online, go forum chit-chat. Feel much better than 1st tri when there was MS, tiredness, headaches, work stress etc.

Jacqueline, I used to travel frequently. Now, I just ask my friends to help. It's not like I am buying bags every month or what anyway.
One of my play date moms going Paris this Fri.. But I wont see her cos by the time she comes back, I am in USA.
I have seen prices of Long Champ in Nagoya almost same as Europe when they have sale at the airport shop before.. But this is really "chanced upon".

Cloud, I love my bag organizer! so easy to switch bags! I have to stop buying bags, I am currently re designing my 2 bedrooms to accommodate the CL, helper & ILs this Dec, and I found at least 7 bags of similar style hanging in my guest room's closet, and 3 others folded nicely in the laundry basket!!! *can faint*
dawn,
Yah depression usually they give sleeping pills n anti depressants. My psychiatrist explained that it's because pregnant women usually hv less sleep coz of pregnancy symptoms like waking up to pee, aches n pains n discomfort n the lack of slp adds to e depressive feelings. But gotta admit that the meds make you feel very lifeless as well.

Hey Jac, you're finally back! I was thinking where were you just about a week ago. Anyway glad that things are better for you now. I stop having hunger pangs as in I can stand being hungry longer as per pre-pregnancy and I do not have to eat every 2-3hrs which is a huge relief for me. I noticed I only wake up to pee when I'm not in deep sleep otherwise its sleep throughout which I'm really grateful for. Recently I even started feeling some fetal movements on and off which got me really excited and I'm at week 15 today [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Wahh mummies, I'm so envious whoever gets to go on overseas shopping trips whether often or not.
Wahh mummies, I'm so envious whoever gets to go on overseas shopping trips whether often or not.
my cravings started abt a month back but back then, it's a case of crave for food but when the food is brought in front of me, no appetite liao. Nowadays better, crave and can swallow it down too ;p
my work was affecting my health which in turn affected my work, so i decided to resign even tho that meant forfeiting the 4 mths maternity leave & jobless for 6 mths. It's financially tougher for us now so we watch our spending more carefully than before. I'm now taking up a part-time course in accounting and hope after bb born, i can do part-time accounts at home till child is older.
i also dun bear use branded bags for diaper bag. Shall see if freebie diaper bag nice or not. If not wait for pp give as pressie lor ;p EDD so near xmas, I think our pressies all become bb's pressie liao.
dawn, pls cheer up. Try psycho yourself you'll recover from depression. I've 2 frds who suffer from clinical depression but eventually recovered. Are you working? If not, when feeling better maybe can pick up some hobby to keep mind occupied. Hope u get well soon!

Hello Jac welcome back hope u r better!
Oh dear Dawn, please dun feel bad for zzz most of us or at least me is horizontal most times every since preg! ;p
think of it tis way - zzz is our entitlement now ok... next time bb out wan to zz also cannot!
come to forum chat w us more often to anti depress! i draw strength n comfort here [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
we shd continue here when bb's out to prevent post natal blues! (by then i tink our topic will change to gossip/ complaints about in-laws/ parents' diff parenting style, CL, maids, breastfeeding...well meaning but unwarranted old wives' tales...lol)

Dawn - dunno if tis helps to cheer u up. i like going to playgrounds, parks to watch children play.. sometimes i stand outside childcare centres to watch the little tots or public swimming pools see the 'little ducklings' learning to swim... i find tat soo soo cute! it kind of soothes n relaxes me jus watching carefree children... or pick up a easy to read book like 'happiness in a nutshell' there are many self help books for light reading. depression can be serious (i lost someone v close due to tat) so it is v impt u have self awareness and seek treatment..

Jacqueline: I'm mixing feelings of happiness and thinking abt what to prepare for new arrival as new MTB [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. And yes, I'm moving twds 2nd trimester.
Chan PL: That sounds v useful, thks in advanced for sharing [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Dawn: In my final yr of uni, I was feeling depressed too and the dr similarly gave me meds that relieved me from my feeling of stress and meds that had helped me sleep too.
I can understand how you feel and without many waking hours, I know how it makes us feel useless. During my time, with my feelings of stress under control, I used my waking hours to do tasks that helped me graduate. Eg talking with lecturer to negotiate the passing criteria for my FYP and asking smart classmates for tgeir ideas, thoughts and help to finish my FYP project.
Similarly I hope that can encourage you to use the remaining hours to do something (but don't set the bar too high, the waking hours are not many) which will help you in feeling better in the LT. Eg if it's finances that had been one of the factors that had made you depressed, perhaps start by filing all your expenses statements eg bank stmts, insurance, car maintenance etc then slowly working towards awareness of monthly expenses. If it's work, use the waking hours to progress in growing a new skill or just embarking on tasks that have observable outcomes.

Dawn: In my final yr of uni, I was feeling depressed too and the dr similarly gave me meds that relieved me from my feeling of stress and meds that had helped me sleep too.
I can understand how you feel and without many waking hours, I know how it makes us feel useless. During my time, with my feelings of stress under control, I used my waking hours to do tasks that helped me graduate. Eg talking with lecturer to negotiate the passing criteria for my FYP and asking smart classmates for tgeir ideas, thoughts and help to finish my FYP project.
Similarly I hope that can encourage you to use the remaining hours to do something (but don't set the bar too high, the waking hours are not many) which will help you in feeling better in the LT. Eg if it's finances that had been one of the factors that had made you depressed, perhaps start by filing all your expenses statements eg bank stmts, insurance, car maintenance etc then slowly working towards awareness of monthly expenses. If it's work, use the waking hours to progress in growing a new skill or just embarking on tasks that have observable outcomes.
I hope the above will be useful for you?

Cloud, this time my doc more relax cos 1, it's a natural conception, 2. I have been healthy (as in no blood or spotting). I so wish I will know the bb's gender so I can buy specific colors and styles. U need anything? I am planning to freight things back. Incl 4 car tyres, raspberry jam, blueberries, books, clothes, toys, baby's toiletries.. Last year, I was charged about $3 for air-freight which is very very reasonable.
Hope all mommies feel better soonest! How about playing games? One game I strongly discourage is Angry Bird. Try Smurf. I like it.

Enjoy ur trip! Maybe u can spot the gender before u go on hols? My gynae spotted a boy but he was defensive saying better to wait detail scan cos he has been wrong hahah.. but nvm gender, as long as my amnio n detailed scan r good. I dont mind hving 2 gals actually.
Jac, haha... now that i'm sahm, hardly hv chance to use nice bags, and even if i go out, i need big bags... i do miss working sometimes, miss the money independence.. giving up my career took quite a bit of courage actually cos now it's quite impossible for me to go back to same sector cos it's a fast pace one...
Actually i calculated my edd to be 19 dec cos my cycle is usually abt 34days or so, but seems to be a wk earlier now...

Jacqueline, Angry Bird makes me angry leh.. I cannot do fast pace online game.. I will die of heart attack.. Plus I have to play secretly, so slow pace and relax smurf suits me better.
Cloud, Thanks! Your amniocentesis will tell the gender, 99.9% accurate. I think your doc concern about the traditional Chinese thinking is it? Aiya, these days, having a daughter means you'll get a son, having a son? Sigh, I don't expect my son to visit me everyday, just remember my birthday, CNY, Christmas and come drink my soup will do lah.
