elynh - actually while carrying my #1 i was fixing up wardrobe and bed for my #1 and i deliver him just fine for this preg .. it came in midst of my renovation and unfortunately since im the one who came up with the deisgn of my place i was doing the renovation during the 1st trim lor .. so for drilling depends on how pantang u are lor ..
but for exertion which can cause mc is something else though ..
well u gotta plan out wit your hb then on how your living arrangements will be later ..
 


Tell your parents to call your hubby at last straw, i think no matter what he will give some face to your parents. Not only he has parents right?
 
Ayukie:
Not that panting. But my point being, they were emphasizing on all these rules during sil and my pregnancy. So why the difference in treatment.

ET:
Yesterday I was pisses at hb cause he sat there quietly. Cause they were taught not to reply otherwise it is retorting. But what is a conversation if it is not 2 sided.
 
Elynh> if no choice, then get ya parents to call..hahaha.. Ya, think shld avoid dang gui during preggy cause i think it increase blood circulation and might cause MC.. if i remember correctly.. even after delivering (not sure if its true but.. if u are bfing, dang gui will somehow stop the supply if taking in large quantity. We have a mummy from my first pregnancy who encounter that..
 
Found this.

Although some Western physicians do not recommend the use of Dang Gui during pregnancy because of a misunderstanding of its actions, this herb is used by virtually every pregnant woman in China, and has been for many centuries. It has been demonstrated that during pregnancy, Dang Gui exerts an inhibitory action on the uterus, which the Chinese believe helps “stabilize the fetus” and prevents spontaneous miscarriage. In addition, the vitamin E and folic acid in Dang Gui contribute to the stability of the pregnancy. Dang Gui helps prevent inflammation in the pelvic cavity and therefor has protective benefits to the pregnant woman besides stabilizing the fetus and preventing anemia.

Possible Side Effects and Safety Concerns

Dong quai should not be used by people with bleeding disorders, excessive menstrual bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, or during infections such as colds and flu. Call your health practitioner if you experience bleeding, unusual bruising, diarrhea, or fever.

Dong quai may contain estrogen-like compounds and should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women, children, or people with breast cancer.

People taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) such as warfarin should not use Dong quai.

Dong quai should not be used during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. It should also not be used during breast-feeding.

Dong quai can cause photosensitivity, so people should limit sun exposure and wear sunblock.
 
KJChua! WaH! the most spicy i eat so far is tom yum and but i nv drink the soup!

Thanks Mommies for the advices! Is pretty frustrating to always have to analyze my food to ensure that the things I eat are safe for my baby.
 
elynh> think best to avoid ba.. just to be safe.. guess every women's body is different, some may react differently to different herbs.. There is this lady in my office who shared that she will spot everytime she take rui he (like eel for soup)
 
hi mummies, I just came back from my checkup and gynae said most probably its a gal cos she gave 3 lines (lips) but cannot confirm since baby didnt open up her legs so can confirm only on next detailed checkup. At 20 weeks I have a detailed checkup, i also dunno for what.
 
elynh, I really feel for you. I dont think anyone in SG can match your MIL in TW. you definitely cant stay with them anymore, try to get a small place to move out. it may be good not to use their $$ cos they will want a say in everything...see if you can get loan etc. more conflicts will arise when your baby is born cos they will want to feed or bring up the way they want which may not be your style.
 
is your hubby able to find a job elsewhere in singapore or china?

if the pay at taiwan is so miserable, why not start a new life in singapore? how come they love the daughter so much more than the guy? It is so strange, over here most parents love boys more than girls.
 
louise,
i believe alot of ppl r like tat, compare DILs n daughters of cos love daughter more n treat DIL like S**T. but they still love the son more cos is their surname.
 
Elynh,
Unfortunately for u ... I have relative in Taiwan also... Apparently DIL is like the lowest there ... My aunt din allow maid or pt time helper even when DIL have to clean whole house , take care of bb , work in the shop from 12-10 pm.. So basically I find Taiwanese DIL vvv poor thing... And the mil theory is becos they also went thru same thing ..

Really can feel u
 
nahnah,
think there is a hokkien song lyrics is something like:
"being ones DIL must know the rules, early early wake up and late late sleep etc etc"
 
AG,
I am going for my detailed scan 9Mar. For a moment I was also thinking "scan what ah?" even though it's my #2 haha.

elynh,
It's good that you are coming back. At least you get peace of mind back home. You really don't need all these unnecessary stress at this point.
 
wahaha...but not confirm leh, cos baby never open legs, who knows next visit open legs then give us surprise. yogi, this is my #2 and I also forget detailed scan for what. gynae told me next visit got to do so just do lor, I also never ask. I am busy asking other stuff so didnt bother. I have been so sick so was asking her which medicine can take and I have been coughing badly that I have a bit of leak when I coughed. so afraid that it could be waterbag leak so was busy asking her. anyway gynae told me to take antibiotics cos i have been sick too long and I totally lost my voice.
 
oh u know how my hb reacted, he was speechless for a moment when gynae told us it could be a gal. after the visit, I asked him if he is happy and he told me it doesnt matter gal or boy but he wonder how to teach gal cos cannot beat gals.
 
Hi mommies...

I MIA for a while from the thread but still pop by to catch up a bit from time to time. I can't help but keep laughing when I read about the "3 lips", "birdie", "kuku".. haha...hope that all your wishes come true in getting the "3 lips" and "birdie" or "kuku"!!
happy.gif
Mine is a confirmed "birdie" from my CVS test result, and I am happy with it coz I already have 2 lovely girls..

Elynh,
I really admire your strength in riding through this difficult period. I can't imagine how I would have reacted if I were to be in your situation. I am sure you will continue to stay tough for the sake of your baby...don't give up!

On detailed scan:
This is to scan for any obvious physical abnormalities. I recall that during my previous pregnancies, the sonographer will count the number of fingers, toes, scan for kidney/lung/heart/stomach functions etc.
 
<font color="aa00aa">congrats to those who knows the bb sex already. can't wait to know mine so i can start shopping! ;p

do your want me to update our EDD chart with gender? since im falling asleep now. hehe!</font>
 
Mummies I got a question. For today everytime I go toilet n pee my tummy is in pain. Is it normal? Or is it due to baby expanding or I should just call my Gynae? There is no spotting

BBL> I suspected that but i think even nv endure go toilet also pain.

Sherry> I think may be my fungal infection. I think I gonna call up dr Phua tmr and may need to see him.
 
JC,,
cos for my case if i endure too long then when i pee i will have pain..so try not to endure..drink more water if its UTI...or cranberries juice.
 
JC, me, my womb feels pain if i hold too long and after i pee (whether i hold anot, after i pee, it will hurt a little). but its the same feeling like the uterus expands. so i tot thats normal. prob after pee, the bladder shrinks giving the uterus some space.. hahahaa..

happy for those who know the bb gender.. i still got to wait till 30 Mar for my detail scan.. 1month is so looonngg!!!
 
<font color="aa00aa">BBL</font>
<font color="aa00aa">tonic - was told good to start from 5th months onwards.</font>
 
BBL> i am starting my tonic soup from 4th month onwards... was having cough the last few weeks.. so guess will start after i fully recover..
 
JC, I experience the same pain as you. It's severe pain when i tried sitting down/stand up, getting up from bed etc. Pee also pain!!! I drop my gynae an email last week and he told me is muscular pain. It takes a few days to disppear. My pain just subsided.
 
Thanks mummies. I am worried that it's my fungal infection causing this and my next visit is 2 weeks time. I am afraid it is that one causing the pain. I will b calling up to ask more Abt this. If doc says can wait another 2 weeks then see him or can get the medicine for the infection over the counter then will do it. Hopefully the pain is like what u all said.
