Hi Ron - really happy to join you here
Hi Sashamama - I only finished my appt around 945pm. The receptionist like can't wait to go home and rush through with me. They even forgot to give me aspirin
. Dr Loh gave me injection and inserts/medicine for a week and I will c him again next thurs to follow up and scan.... I think Dr Loh is quite tired today as he quite stone when I asked him questions...
Can I ask whether I should continue with red dates drink now? How about Ensure milk cos I still have half tin left....
I think I have to extend my unpaid leave again as now is such crucial period....

Hi Joanne, glad you got the support jab! Has the spotting stopped? When does your unpaid leave end? You could have asked Dr Loh for mc if you are not on unpaid leave for the coming week.
Can still drink ensure milk in moderation. As for red dates drink, I am not sure as I moved on to an tai yao immediately after knowing my bfp. Please check with your TCM dr - Dr Zou right? Think she is back tmr.

Dear Joanne,
Aspirin not given at dr loh's clinic. You hv the written prescription? It's to be bought at the pharmacy at level one. Rest well ya? This is really crucial period.
Dear angelxuan,
The shop assistant never tell me that Le. Sigh. Dunno how professional she is. She started off asking me what questions I have, n I was like thinking "I don't know what is there to ask right at the start!" I think that's why less than 1hr finished.

Angelxuan - thanks for your advice. Will call dr Zou to check. I supposed to go back to work on 1/6 but think I may extend for another 1 or 2 months now...
Cock cock - is the pharmacy still open at night? Don't think he gives me the prescription. Anyway think should be ok not to take aspirin for a week as dr Loh said it could lead to bleeding too.
Think I will see dr Loh in the meantime till stabilised. Later then decide which Gynae to go.... As it depends whether mine is twins or not. Hehe
I have not been sleeping well since my 2ww. Always wake up at 3 am the cant sleep. Is this normal? My blood pressure seemed to increase again recently

Dear all, last nite. Suddenly feel this crampy, sour Feeling on the left side of my body when i lie down on the bed. No matter where i turn, the feeling does not go away. It happened after dinner til abt 2am. But when i sit up or stand up, the feeling goes away. Wonder what is happenng? Hubby asked could it baby is growing or baby is kicking or i having indigestion? But cannot be only one side right? Shd i go see Dr Loh or Dr M this morning for checkup? I think i shd get a "super regular" patient pass from them. 
Cockcock, i will periodically ask my hubby to check if there is any red patches or spots on my body. Cos worried if i hv bedsore from having too much bedrest.
Joanna, The pharmacy is closed at night and there is no need for a prescription to buy aspirin (aka Cardiprin) from the pharmacy. You may want to try Watson or Guardian to see if they carry Cardiprin. I think one box costs ard $7.50. I will attach a photo of the cardiprin later for your reference.
It is normal to wake up in the middle of the night when you BFP. Cockcock, Angel and i have been thru that phase. Try to rest as much as you can at home.

Hi Sashamama, I've bought the Braun digital ear thermometer fr the states. The spree here looks to have great bargains for it too. Will also need normal mouth thermometer for newborns, Braun can only use when they turn 6 mths I think.
For my niece, my mum uses the Pigeon manual food grinder cos every meal is cooked fresh, so don't need a lot. For my gf, she finds the electronic food blender useful as she would blend a large amount and freeze into smaller portions for future use. Not sure how the other mummies make use of the Philips steamer...
For Milk bottles, I'm getting 6, so don't need to sterilize too often each day. I'll be getting Philips anti colic the better BPA free bottles.
Sashamama, I'm also finalizing my shopping list now, hope to get most within this 1 mth, then can closed shop
You've got all your major items like stroller and carseat right? I'm starting from almost zero I think heh...

Err.... you all got look for me meh LOL... i've been travelling abit to Australia for work la for system intergration.
i did my OSCAR yesterday, so far so good but still waiting for the blood test result. BB moving too much and too fast, the Doctor who did the u/s has to scan me 3 times to complete the job bcos BB refuse to settle at the right position LOL ( sound so cute ho)
Dr Loh said i got 5 months worm, so big until he has to make fun of me each time when i visiting him. i was quite surprised that my BB is very high up (just right under my chest area) in my tummy yesterday.
MS still bad. every morning and every evening is my golden time to vomit...
do you all still have MS, or am i the unlucky one

MC007,
same like you, my vomit taste acidic ( i hope this is normal), and also very tiring too.
i asked Dr Loh once about this vomitting, i thought he will give me some prescription to reduce my vomitting, then he asked me why people climb KK mountain??? so he said good news is enjoy our pregnancy but the bad news is no prescription.
i have booked my CL 2 months ago already from my mum's kampung (Malaysia)

Catherine, I can fit into some of my Pre pregnancy pants now! Hehe. Hey, u heard of bb signs? Bbs wun start to talk until close to 1 yrs old. But before that bbs already understand us starring fr 6-9 months. So, bb signs allow them to communicate with us. Eg signs like hungry, milk, more, eat, drink, diaper r v useful.

Hi Tromso, I'm feeling tired too.. Today is the start of 31 week. Belly getting bigger, alot of bb movement @ nite.. Can't sleep well.
Recently, I can feel baby moving near either sides of my waist, abit pain.. Feels like his bones. Do u hve tht feeling too?
Need to remind myself to ask dr Loh abt bb's & placenta position.

Sashamama, actually I also didn't know what questions i should have before the tour..just asked what came into my mind when she showed me the items. Am sure I still got a lot to learn. Thus, plan to do trips to fairs and sales to gai gai & see what other people look at and buy.
Cockcock and Tanny, to book an appointment with MC advisor, I did an online survey then someone contacted me a week later to arrange an appointment. It's foc and it's 1 advisor attending to 1 pair of couple. I will PM you the link to the survey shortly.
Cockcock, there are other types of preg pillow that MC sell. I believe your tummy is v big and you might need one that gives you more support. Thus, try to request to try out first before buying or can check with the nursery advisor to recommend a suitable one for you. I think the advisor is only in the shop at Harbourfront when she has appointment.
Actually, I also slept like crazy throughout my trimester 1! Really just plain exhaustion! Now it's much better, just need to take a good 2-3 hrs nap in the day. Recently also no need to get up in the nite to pee, so can sleep a straight 9 hrs throughout!
Appetite also improves and enjoying all my food..but scared will get too fat so controlling. Occasionally will take cold drinks and ice cream..hehehe
Joanne, do extend your unpaid leave if you need to. Nothing else is more important than the well being of your baby(ies) and yourself esp in this crucial period.
