Guys..need your feedback...I'm now in week 21. Not sure if you guys have been experiencing kicks and punches every single day like me? It seems to be happening for the whole day. When i walk, baby would not be kicking but when i lie down on my bed or sit down on the chair, seems that baby will start kicking. Abit worried...its like she is not getting her needed sleep.
Abit worried that she might be too hyperactive also...
Sigh being mummy not easy, got kick also worry, no kick also worry..
BabyS: wahhh your appeitte is huge..whahaha...
Amanda: OMG 27Kg?! thats alot...so worried...going for doctor visit this saturday...scare to know my weight... T.T
Another thing i would like to check with you guys...when will you get your friends or family member who wants give you their children clothes? Is it like 1 month before baby comes or after baby comes or?? Abit worried about pang tang...dont know if you take too early and will it cause any issue. Last weekend had dinner with my sec school friends...and 1 of my girlfriends was telling me that her cousin had a baby 7 month..then they went to buy a plastic container to put baby stuff...end up she got miscarriage...so they say better to be pang tang then not...

when walk bb will sleep.. is like a rocking bed inside u noe.. the bb loves it.. tat's y bb like to b carried n rock when they are out.. is like they are inside the womb.. they fall asleep faster wen thet are rock.. of cos as parents, we shld reduce the rocking otherwise, nobody help you, it can be v torturing..
when u sit down, the womb get cramped up oso.. e bb has lesser space hence will push n kick oso mah..

Wlilian: I'm at week 21 too. my baby princess is quite active too. But not every time we felt movements are baby's kickings/punches. It might be they are shifting their body while slping. This is what my colleague told me. Don worry too much
Last weekends I just gotten some pass down from my colleague. Shld be fine ba. =x

anna: i just had that yesterday from too much walking. Left thigh and the back of my lower legs were really aching. Like the ones you get when you go running. I just rubbed axe oil and slept and it went away today. For the poking pain, my gynae adviced to sleep with the feet raised at night.. It helps..
re movements: i am also in week 21. My baby girl is very active too. I feel her moving and wriggling whenever i walk fast. Guess she's adjusting herself. But at night or very early morning whenever im lying down, i can feel her little kicks. At times in my sleep, im be sleeping on my tummy, that's the time i will feel her kicking strong.

re baby movement: I can feel my bb movement at week 16 and recently, i can feel his movement everyday at diff timing.
re numbness on leg or hand: I think it is norm to feel numbness during 2nd or 3rd tri, but if the numbness become worse, think need to consult gynae..
Ladies, do u hav gum/teeth bleeding when you brush ur teeth? I know is common during pregnancy. but recently my gum/teeth bleed every time i brush my teeth. I am wondering should visit the denist to ensure my teeth are okay.
Both my feet start to have little rashes on both side especially the part that come contact wif my shoes. They are abit itchy.. wondering can i apply any medication?

Hi all, good to hear that most are having good appetite !
Ame Goh: Welcome ! We have the same EDD !
Sashamunna : I just asked my gynea about going brazilian waxing. He says it's safe on the procedure but he can't guarantee on the contents which they be applying on us. Some places advise that it is advisable to do in the 32 weeks onwards.
Anna : same here ! I'm experiencing muscle ache on my left thigh for no apparent reason !

Serene : my gums bled too and I went to the dentist. It's quite a common thing actually and it's even more important to take care of our teeth during this period. So, time to call on your dentist
Xav & Sashamunna : Not sure about the 32 weeks onwards thingy but I went when I was 14 weeks...
Did any mummies sign up for breastfeeding class? Wondering how's the class like? Saw on mumsfairy, it's $180 per pax & that's $360 for a couple... quite ex I thought. But it's $70 for breastfeeding mothers forum site....

Hi,
I'm a Feb 2013 mummy, and wanna spread the word abt the gd confinement lady that i have. This is her 6th week with me already and i continue to enjoy your good service, so thought i'll return a favor by sharing abt her. I'm a first time mum, and her name is Yulian Auntie.
1) She cooks well, without using MSG, yet the food tastes naturally sweet and is appetizing, she cooks not only for me, but for my family upon my request, so this saves us all alot of hassle 2) She's easy going, when I was struggling at the start with breastfeeding, she went along with my request of intervals feeding, she didnt make too much noise when my supply was low at start and tried to rock my crying baby to sleep where poss, 3) She is prompt with caring for my baby, once she hears her cries, she would put whatever she is doing down to attend to my baby, calm her down etc 4) She's knowledgeable, about how to deal with gassy baby, heat/milk rash, teething issues etc..
I've had peers with less accommodating confinement ladies and heard of those who were not as flexible and easy going, hence on hindsight, my confinement lady is quite good, though i think at the end of the day, it also depends on the chemistry btw the mother and the confinement lady, and also how we all manage our expectations. I'm a first time mum, so this is what i know so far based on my own personal experience.
We all are different, and hence, you might want to talk to her to decide for yourself, or meet up with her.
If you are interested to hire her, she is available after June 2013, here is her contact info.
1) Spore Hp: +65 8450 4313 (for when she is in Sg like now)
2) Malaysia Hp: +60 16604 8468
Cheers!

Jos, mumsfairy is profit making, breastfeeding association is non profit.. Thats explains the differnce in the cost.
Sashamunna: u got to check with the waxing salon, some if they hear u r pregnant, they may reject u also leh. I cannot remember the reason why. But i have heard of some friends who get brazillian wax b4 delivery cos they dont wanna get shaved. But they and salons also say, waxing when u r preg is more painful cos the area more sensitive.

hi mummies
anyone seeing Dr Henry Cheng?
any idea how much is his detailed scan and his actual package?

For tired feet, the TCM recommended soaking our feet (and lower legs if possible), in warm water every night. If interested can even pre-boil some lemongrass or ginger... supposed to help promote good blood circulation (sometimes tiredness is due to poor circulation), reduce swelling, etc.
What I would do is boil a kettle of water. Fill up a small pail (broad enough to put my feet in) with 1/4 water... and then add the hot water as it goes along. Sit at the sofa/dining table. Make sure there's a good rag next to you to wipe the feet and any spilled water!

been craving for instant noodles these few days but dun dare eat cos dont know gd for baby or not find it strange cos didnt really like eating instant noodles in the past
chocpockie: congrats! lol..did you wanted a boy?
Pink_sapphire: hmmm..i will also try not to eat maggi mee, but if i really have the craving..what i do is that i will boil the maggi mee seperately first and throw away the water...then afterwards cook it with the soup...this way we will not be taking in the wax...

Jos: R u going for prenatal course? If yes then no need to sign up separately for breastfeeding course. Actually I feel read up on bf alone is sufficient coz when u r in hospital, the lactation consultant will guide u to latch your bb. After discharge if have problems with bf can go back to the consultant for help.
Hui: I'm seeing Dr Henry Cheng. His pkg starts from wk20 at $850 ($909.50 after gst) and includes the detailed scan. Not sure how much he charges separately for detailed scan.
Pink-sapphire: Whenever I crave for instant noodles, I'll cook it with only half pkt of the soup seasoning so that it's less salty. And only drink a bit of soup to satisfy craving. Or sometimes just boil the noodles and throw away the water, put a bit of oyster sauce & pepper for dry instant noodle.

Hi ladies,
It's been quite a while since I came here... Too many things have happened in these 10 days...
Last last Friday, I went for a scan and found that she was a gal.. Really happy to see her good and healthy.
Then next day on Saturday, my water bag broke for no reason - surely I'm not doing anything funny cos I was still on bed rest. Rushed to A&E immediately, baby was good but there is no more water left..
I was admitted and put on observation. We were given a few choices, to wait for the condition to stabilize and see if there is any feasible procedures to help save the baby, or to terminate the pregnancy. Knowing that baby was still alive with strong heartbeat, we decided to wait.
Anyway, to cut the long story short, we decided to try out amnioinfusion - a procedure that injects water into the membrane in attempt to help the baby survive. We were supposed to do it on Thursday afternoon, but in that very morning, I started bleeding quite heavily, later the natural process of miscarriage etc started... I delivered her on week 19 with no more heartbeat and she has gone home to the heaven...
It's been a difficult pregnancy filled with a lot of scary surprises to us.. We know we have already tried our best to be careful, followed all the doctor's instruction, bed rest for almost 3 months etc.. Now I'm on confinement, and can only stay positive and hope for the best next time.
It's been a good 4 months chatting you all here.. Wish that all of you will remain happy and healthy
may God bless all the August babies that are on their way to the world
