<font color="ff0000">sksf,</font> <font color="ff6000">Every week is a blessing! So your EDD must be between end-Oct and early Nov. Was your #1 early or late? Mine was early by 1.5 weeks.
Aiya the egg in my porridge was NOT cooked at all! The egg white didnt even turn slightly opaque. I scared, dare not eat. Just ate the non-contaminated parts of the porridge. I really dont want to risk salmonella. Not worth it!
Ya I hate the feeling of eating halfway and feeling the puking sensation coming up my throat. So malu in public sometimes haha</font>
<font color="ff0000">constance,</font> <font color="ff6000">woah FIFTH C-section? Is that risky? I thought max can do three only? I had C-sect for my #1 but thinking of trying natural this time round if can.</font>
<font color="ff0000">GNL,</font> <font color="ff6000">You must be so excited about your date with your peanut! My next appt is next week. Hiaz still EIGHT whole days to go!</font>

<font color="blue"> Oh dear, if it's not cooked at all then better avoid -.- Yeah, between end of oct & early nov. My #1 due date was 4th nov but he came out 2 weeks earlier which is 18th oct! hahaha. So most prolly this pregnancy might be earlier too if i'm not wrong

<font color="0077aa">Dear owlette</font>, indeed , do go for a 2nd opinion before u schedule anything.
Be strong & jia you
<font color="0077aa">starrymummy</font>, same here, mine nx appt another 1 wk more wk...counting down to my next appt to see lil one..
<font color="0077aa">Constance</font>, wow, i also didnt know can c-sect 5X? I was under the impression that max 3X.
U're the 2nd mummy which I know that had /has 5kids. At least the olders ones can help to take care of the younger ones
Every child is a gift & blessing, jia you!
<font color="0077aa">Chapa chic</font>, if u are worrying abt the pain for natural, there's always epi.
the recovery for natural birth is faster than c-sect. If possible try natural birth. That being said, sometimes complications might occur (breech, bb in distress after admitting for natural, etc) hence no choice hv to do c-sect.
Massage can start 1-2 wks after delivery for natural birth & depending on mother's condition it can only start after 2wks to 1 mth after delivery for c-sect.
<font color="0077aa">sksf</font>, mine as well. #1 was out on 38wks. They say if our #1 is early, #2 normally even earlier...i'm hoping this time round also at least 38 wks...cos before 38 wks, it's classify as pre-mature birth rite...(correct me if i'm wrong;p)
<font color="0077aa">Haiz...really monday blues...so much work & my MS is creeping out...sianz....Breakfast is where my Appetite the best & than it progressive gets worses as the day progress...Nite is the worst...Dinner I can eat few spoons of rice & tt's it
Mine's NS(nite sickness) rather than MS

<font color="ff0000">constance,</font> <font color="ff6000">You are indeed very blessed. It may be tough when the kids are young, but ultimately, nothing can beat having a big family with strong bonds. Since I was in Secondary school, I always imagined myself having four kids, two boys and two girls.. so idealistic right. But my path to motherhood hasnt been that smooth. But I am contented with what I have and every child is a Godsend.
I am very impressed by any mummy who has more than three kids.. I really dunno how you do it! Really takes so much time and effort and love. I salute you!</font>
<font color="ff0000">LilKmum,</font> <font color="ff6000">Once you hit 36 weeks, baby is ready to come out already. Anything before that is premature. But 36 weeks is safe and fine. My #1 also came out around 38 plus weeks.
For my #1, I never really thought about the birth method and assumed that I would just go the natural way. But my baby suffered distress. She stopped growing in week 37 and my gynae got worried. Put me on heartbeat monitoring on alternate days and asked me to monitor her movements. It came to a point when her movements were less frequent than usual. And her heartbeat showed sudden drops. At that point, he told me to admit myself at hospital. And they tried to induce me but I was not dilated at all. So had to opt for C-sect as that was safest for the baby.
So, while our intentions are good and we research like crazy how we want to deliver, we cant really tell until the last trimester how things will turn out. That's why every successful birth is a miracle to me
And, always take your gynae's advice. They are the experts and they have the experience!!</font>

Babes, it is not that all mayonaise is harmful. It's just that sometimes sway sway the batch of mayo you eat is made of eggs with some form of salmonella cos it's uncooked. Salmonella is harmful for baby. For normal people, you just suffer from food poisoning. But for us preggies, it hurts the baby. So I guess avoiding it is best.

To all mommies, if you feel nausea, try to eat candy, I try Halls Raspberry flavour and it is very effective!! I can finish it all in 1 day, hehehe..
Owlette, yes, better to ask for 2nd/ 3rd opinion, the result might be different..
Anyway, my MIL asked me to check with other gynae in Mt. E, I forgot his name, she said her relatives used his service b4 and he is very good in giving advice and telling you good nutrition for mother and baby.. She also ask me to start eat vitamins, since I feel backpain... usually if you have a baby boy, he will start to take ur calsium in month 2, different from baby girl...dunno true or not

Bbkay, my Gynae said both are okay. Just let him know which is the one I wanted.
Lilkmum, ya, heard natural indeed recovery fast. I have 7more mths to consider
I think eat in moderation will do,not too much raw food once a while is still ok. After all many bad incidents happen not really due to the food we consume. However some food that must avoid will definitely have to give it a pass.

Hi all, just to share that actually mayo is ok. Mayo like most dairy products eg milk had been pasteurized before being bottled and sold.
Personally, I am a lover of sashimi and have been eating a fair bit. But I eat in moderation and after the 1st trimester. And my gynae give me the clearance to eat it as long as Im ok.

bbkay ohhh~ Thats good to know... Im also in your case... 6.5 months le but nobody will give up their seat unless I ask as tummy kinda small. Was feeling very depressed and sad when people around all commented that its too small. Scared that my bb will not grow well bc my vomit and diarrhea case very bad. But thank goodness manage to get better by each day now! =)))
Since I got pregnant, I super love mayo! Last time used to avoid, scare become fatter, now I just give in and indulge. Glad to know mayo is safe.
Just came back from gynae visit. Suppose to be 11th week, but my bb measured 11w5d. Big bb I've got here. Very happy to see my bb's heartbeat
For my 1st pregnancy, my gynae only let me start package from 20th week, this time she said I can start package from today. Dunno is it she think I will pop early

Owelette.
I had blighted ovum before. It happened last Aug. After waiting for another 1 more week to make sure it's really blighted ovum, I went for d n c. I was upset for quite long. You take care!

Starry. My gynae has done up to 5 c sect. One of my fren's gynae up to 6x. Of cos the risk will increase with each c section.
.
Chapa, yeah better go for natural if u can. Healing much easier. I had to move very slowly for 2 weeks cos the wound hurt a lot.
I tried natural for no 1. Labour pain for > 24hours but still not fully dilated. Baby distressed so gotta go for emerg c section. I insisted on vbac for no 2. But wait until due date nothing happen. Gynae told me no 2's head position same as no1. So may end up same case. So I reluctantly go for c sect again. Subsequent deliveries gotta b c section Liao.

I opt for induced labour for my #1 cos my hb works overseas and he can only take 2 weeks off. So induced at 39 weeks to fully utilize his leave.
I'm very petite, only 150 cm tall nia. So I'm very concerned that I will have difficulty with natural birth. but dr chua was quite supportive and say maybe I should give it a try. I controlled my diet so much so that my bb won't be too big. In the end naturally delivered my 3 kg boy with assisted vacuum. Think if not for her I will hv to go for e csect already.</font>

<font color="119911">don't be too concern about size of your tummy.... It really all depends on how well your body can hide.
For me I'm small size and short, so for my #1, 5 mths only and got taxi driver ask me when I board their cab if I want to go deliver bb! The womb cannot expand vertically mah, so expand outwards loh...
My coll is like 1.7m hor, until 8 months also can't really see... Her body got space to expand vertically. Her baby is not small also.</font>

Constance,
Another reason is choosing a good date, didn't like the EDD but who knows I might not really deliver on that day
2weeks couldn't move is okie, my mom is helping me with confinement and I can rest at home for more than a mth. Let's see how it goes, I have plenty of time to plan since losing my job after telling my boss that I'm preg.

owlettle,
better have 2nd opinion.
I went to other gynae recommend by my friend last Friday. the lady gynae did U/S & said mine is not heatlhy pregnancy. no embryo & no heartbeat. suggested to terminate the pregnancy.
I wasnt prepare when I visited her last week. my initial intention was to change gynae due to my gynae charges is on the High side. this lady gynae also not cheap. total damage on Friday was $240 for 1st consultation, u/s plus the bad news!
I went back to my gynae last Saturday. had bloodtest. HCG showing 19,000. and when he U/S, finally saw something in the sac!
if I blindly follow what the lady gynae I met last day & terminate my pregnancy due to what she said was empty sac, then I would have lost my little peanut.
don't give up. must really get 2nd opinion...

Hi All, been super busy today. I was really careful when I had no. 1 - didn't eat salads etc. With no. 2, am slightly more relaxed. I even took some lightly cooked salmon last week during a client lunch - I forgot that my options will be limited at a Jap restaurant but too late to back out.
Chapa chic: Sorry to hear about the job. Take the next few months to rest and look forward to baby's arrival!
