Tres, share w us now! Its good to start doing research now! Tell us!
<font color="0077aa">courgeous81/celia, I think we are the "too knowledgeble" mummies. Sometimes ignorance is bliss... Knowing little and reading up less will make us less jittery preggy mums. Me also like to read articles and then land up scaring myself! -____-"
celia, @ 9 weeks the baby will be quite "formed"... lolz! http://www.babycenter.com.sg/pregnancy/fetaldevelopment/09weeks/
Tres, I think u need to check out the vendors one by one - they have some "ratings" system. Personally I wont wanna buy cosmetics from TB, cos if wanna reject the goods gotta pay our own shipping. Havent gone to Chinatown to check out those shops, they might carry it cheap too. If u really worried about the authenticity, get someone to buy from Singapore DFS when they come back from overseas.
I did that for my gal friend before slightly cheaper about $68+ or $70? (if i did not remember wrongly).
I don't mind asking my PIL to tompang a bottle or two for u gals but I dunno how much my ILs will be getting it at and I doubt I will know until they come back to SG.

congrats and welcome happymum! i've also went to see Dr Adrian at Sengkang when i want to confirm my pregnancy. he's so chop chop! ask me if i've tested with the home kit and how many times. i told him i tested twice and both is positive, so he say like that confirm pregnant lor. -_-
he say i'm still in very early stage of pregnancy (around 4 weeks) so nothing much he can do. gave me some folic acid and vits and ask us to leave. we waited for almost 2hr for our turn and was out of the room in less than 5mins with a total bill of $110! hai i wonder how come he's so popular at times.

Zoel, i am also going to see another gynea. Dr Henry Cheng at Bishan. my gf that's currently preggy is also seeing him. i've seen him once for women's problem and he's really friendly and nice. not as cold as Dr Adrian. but tomorrow hubby and i will still go back to Dr Adrian for the first scan. he told us to come back 1 week later, which is tomorrow. after that we will visit Dr Cheng instead.

Angelic soul: congrats and welcome! yes, menstrual like cramps is very common. it means the uterus is expanding to accommodate the little one inside
as long as it's cramps without any bleeding or spotting it's fine. don't worry!

Dr Ong told me folic, prenatal vits, and calcium. We told him we'll get our own, just wondering if it's the same as those I used to get from NUH... It came in whole bottles but I just cannot recall the brand
Syyy, 4season
When is your next apptm?
Dr Adrian,
Just out of curiosity, is he Chinese?

i have a few friends who are also comfortable with Dr Adrian's chope chope manner... but i think i'm a worried freak and need one who's not so chope chope
tres: u also seeing dr cheng! he's very nice right! but he's so popular! do u have difficulties booking next appointment with him?
fabbie: yaya he is very chop chop. my hubby say his clinic abit like manufacturing plant. hahahaha. ya! i ask him about my pain and cramps. he also say it's normal. everything also can eat. even sashimi and sushi! we so shocked! haha
fullhouse: i think dr adrian is mixed. he looks chinese to me but his name doesn't sounds chinese. haha
icyjo and jo: i am also the kan chiong type so dr adrian not suitable for me. i don't feel assured but my SIL had her 2 daughters delivered by him and she is comfortable with him. i guess it boils down to individual.

<font color="0077aa">FOOD to avoid: I subscribe to the Ang moh and partial Chinese concepts of what to and what not to eat. I think know the diff by what is no no and what is "better eat lesser" and what is dont eat cos not so healthy.
The link I gave earlier talks abt things we should eat less of or avoid (ie no no)- like raw or partially cooked food as they pose high risk for poisoning and some sm w bad consequence. For the better nots, I will refer to a list of things like what the Chinese believe: pineapples and cooling fruits during 1st trimester- for fear of cramps. I think one small occassional slice of water melon is ok ( I ate b4 a handful times during pregnancy).
As for the last category, we all know - junk food and processed food are not healthy. But as urbanites how to not eat them at all? Things like sausages, an occassional meal @ fast food, instant noodles. Generally IMHO, we need to eat healthy but an occassional processed food meal is not going to b super detrimental.
Remember moderation is key and eating happily (to me) makes me a happy pregnant mommy!</font>

I agree on eating in moderation!! Can't avoid too much food also, if everything cannot eat then will feel very deprived... May end up having depression...
During my #1, my gynae told me that I can eat anything make sure it's clean, and he only asked me to avoid papaya cos the enzyme
Jo, u don't really need maternity bra, I bought some nursing bra and some bra from spells which is really comfortable, nursing bra because I BF my bb so it's easier... I went to OG during my #1 time then the promoter Aunty intro me what bra is comfy, I told her I'm Preggy.
I went to the BB fair at expo too, only got 2 packets of Wakodo sauce for my #1...

<font color="0077aa">josky, if u buy maternity bra u should try getting those that is for nursing too. aft we give birth, we MUST wear non wired bras (ESP brastfeeding) to prevent getting blocked ducts. nursing bras also have a peel down cup for easy nursing.
I still wear wired bra during my pregnancy for support. I'm quite heavy and most maternity & commercial non wired bra cannot provide support.
Btw, if u are on heavy side maybe can buy those night nursing/sleep bra to support the even more heavy breast from sagging.</font>

</font>Wow...food again...I saw another of my fav... Maggie Mee.. Yummy! I ate quite a no of curry maggie mee for my no 1... Got craving so just eat.. Come to think about it, the only food that I totally didn't touch is mutton.. Other than that, I will just eat in moderation... Sharkfin, tuna, ham, sausage, instant food etc.. Agreed with hammiebao that one might end up in depression if we do follow so strictly on diet... there are 101 more things to worry about for preg... so food wise shd be the least concern...

first time mum, so i'm gg to ask someting silly... haha
issit only after give birth, then we'll know whether we hav milk for breastfeeding? I read up saying breasts shld get tender and sore or sometimes increase in size as it's preparing for breastmilk so does it means that is no tender/sore or same size, means no breastmilk?

I guess u will only know after giving birth... Anyway the first few days after giving birth still no milk just colostrum...so must feed every few hours to "order" milk.. My friend suggested to drink Papaya fish soup when nearing edd as it helps to produce milk...
Some pple said have milk or not is depends on how to latch n ur diet... For me I did TBF latching on for my #1 till he was 1yr old... The first week after we discharge... I have to feed him every two hourly... Was feeling super tired n lost then... Didn't expect it to be so frequent!! I nearly break down due to lack of sleep!!

Hammiebao,
Er... Wat tbf latching stands for?
Matrtnity bra:
I'm more on small size type but recently realised some of exsiting bra r getting tight n uncomfortable liao...
Oh din know cannot wear under wired bra. Ok thks for sharing, will take note. Btw read that may need measure bra size often during PG due to rapid growth, so for others 1st timer like myself, think dun buy too many new bra at a time else may go to waste.
