Audrey, not necessarily true, could be due to the weight of the baby pressing against veins leading to the legs. Nevertheless, you should increase your calcium intake if you're not already doing so as the baby will leach calcium from your bones and after 35 yo, you're more at risk of getting osteoporosis.

I got leg cramps too. sometimes.
Audrey, your intake may not be sufficient cos that's like the normal daily amount needed by an adult. But I can't be sure, so you should check with your doctor. Also, calcium requires Vit D for absorption, so check if your milk is enriched with Vit D. I've been given calcium tablets enriched with Vit D by my gynae, so I take that everyday. Saves me the trouble of making sure I eat enough calcium-rich food 
Cos some days I eat cheese and yoghurt, and so some days I don't. I don't usually drink milk.

So efficient! U went to get the disposables during lunch?

Petrina
Is the Isetan sale on all items? Store wide discount?
Calcium intake
I have been taking calcium supplements from the gyn and that is on top of the milk which I drink every morning. Hopefully that helps!

yeah, I got the starting of the calf cramps a few times for a mth already. My gynae says it's lack of calcium. True enough, when I upped my dosage, the cramps go away. I guess it's also bcoz I'm lactose intolerant & can't take milk, so kind short of calcium.
smilezz
Yes, he was very very active in my tummy! He really is very strong! He could walk at 10mths plus, run at 12 mths, & he can drag a jumbo size of Mamy Poko diapers along the floor at ard 14 or 15 mths. At less than 2 yrs, he can drag a packet of rice along the floor.
When I visit him at the nursery at TMC, all the babies are lying quietly swaddled. he'll be the only one struggling to pull his arms out. When the nurse pushes him to me, his arms are aws free of the swaddle with the mittens inside the swaddle. Faint!

jul: i think my this baby is much more active than my #1 in me. constantly moving unlike my #1.
Though my #1 i had braxton hicks as early as 7months.. this time i have yet to feel anything though I am having heartburn every night w/o fail though i eat so little for dinner.
My #1 only walked unsteadily from 15mths onwards. i don't mind.. lol
cause i had to chase him the moment he is mobile.
But he started crawling from 4mths.

A woman above 18 needs 1,000mg of Calcium a day before, during and after pregnancy. 2 cups of milk may not reach that amount.

Jul, I think your calcium intake helped your #1 become very strong

Haha dunno issit the calcium intake or what lah. But he was a milk monster when he was a baby. Wah u shd see the muscles in his calves man haha
Oh did I mention that at 6 mths, I sat him on my lap n he pushed my chair with both of us on it using his feet against the table? No doubt it was a slippery waxed floor, but still.. I'm not light leh!

Actually I love drinking milk. But because I usually take skimmed milk ( that tastes really watery) or low fat milk, my gyn advised me to add on the calcium supplement
Jul
Kao, what did you eat or do diff during your first pregnancy ah ? Your boy really very power. Very useful to ask him to pass things and run errands around the house.
My hub also lactose intolerant! Cannot stomach most diary products.

Jul, wow.. your #1 is strong la.. I think definitely the milk helps build strong bones.
ssmilezz, is the calcium content for skimmed milk any different from full-fat milk? Cos I also prefer skimmed milk and I'm lactose intolerant too. I thought skimmed milk has less fat content that's all, shouldn't affect the calcium content.

ooh.. I TBF for 3yrs. so i attribute it to BM. first 3yrs he very seldom fall sick.
he got a very weird body. every 4-6mths muz have fever. no particular reason. then 1 week later he will recover after panadol.. then he'll suddenly gain lots weight and height.
My MIL say old folks saying that they "grow bones" so muz have fever to activate it.
I nvr wanted #2 till my hb got promoted. then we talked abt it and decided to plan for a dragon girl since he wanted a girl then many ppl say my boy very poor thing.. no sibling to play with.
So we decided. I wanted Mar baby so can celebrate birthday together. Plus i wanted "dragon head" instead of tail. so June still head bah i think.. less than 6mths past CNY.

Dunno abt strength, but I think dairy pdts definitely help to build big bone structure bah?
Hmm.. I also think skimmed vc full cream milk is just abt the fat content, shdn't have anything to do with the calcium.
petrina
Wah! Well done! I wish I could have BF for mroe than a yr, but that was all I could do for exclusive pumping. Hopefully this one I can persist to 1 yr too. I targeted min 6 mths, coz dunno if I can cope with 2 kids.
Haha I dunno dragon head or tail lah. I wouldn't have wanted a Dragon. Too crowded liao

<font color="aa00aa">Can try yoghurt, goat's milk, soya milk or soy products in place of cow's milk for natural Calcium intake coz our body can't fully absorb Calcium in supplement form.
On the other hand, Calcium cannot be consumed in excess as it'll interfere with Iron absorption, which is also important. The 2, if prescribed separately, must not be consumed at the same time, but at least 2 hours apart.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">Re: Disposable Underwear
I happened to visit Guardian yesterday and saw that it is selling 2 types - cotton (looks a bit like paper) and 100% cotton (looks like cloth). Both types are sized. the 100% cotton type is selling a pack of 5 at a "special price" of $4.50, so 1 pc is $0.90. I did not check the price for the other type.</font>

Hiaz I also woke up this am with a cramp on my left calf
Take care of your spotting k. It could be nothing but refrain from too much physical exertion just to be safe.
smilezz
Hiaz.. too bad big hips aren't prized these days. I could have had people offering oxen, cows, horses what not for my hand in marriage based on my butt size hahaha
