Winkle, have you been doing yoga before? If you have been an active person then you can ask the studio if its ok with your current condition to go for prenatal yoga and then ask your gynae when is a safe week for you to do prenatal yoga.
I myself have been practicing hot yoga for 5 years and have been teaching children yoga during the weekends.. During first trimester, I do measure my temperature to make sure I don't get over heated since I am practicing hot yoga... Gynae will always give advices on the safe side.. Hence you can do your research first and ask your gynae for clearance once you are stable enough

Winkle, I thought ur SCH not serious that's why u were thinking of doing yoga. Yeah la, play safe for now. Hope as ur pregnancy progresses the placenta also moves up.

. sigh, I'm week 14 this Sun........*insert emoticon crying torrential tears*

Snake bb: heard of dr ananda from the oct mummies. My dr wants to refer me to tmc for level 2 scan instead. If i seek 2nd opinion than might as well go to a different doc who may have a different perspective. Anyway, cos your risk not that high maybe going for detail scan earlier not a bad idea cos they cantry to find for specific markers at the same time do fa.
Winkle: during 13week scan, thought we saw a boy part but doc said dun go shopping yet...haha..for my last two babies doc said nothing between legs so prob girls and they were bb girls..anyway i am just praying for a healthy and normal bb now

Yup, 2nd trim starts at wk 14 so u guys still got a few more days to go.

Ankh, I also still puking. Very demoralizing. Haizzz when will this stop? But good to hear that SN has stopped puking.
Who was asking abt pump? If it's medela u can get it serviced and cleaned. I recently stopped bf-ing my #2. Was using my old pump but the tubings and diaphragm keep getting moldy!! Must get it cleaned before #3 comes.

fuzzybear, where can we send our medela pump for servicing? How much is the cost of the servicing?
I think once you pass week 14, the nausea somehow disappears as well. Jiayou everyone!

SN, yes like Kayliz said, the service centre is at 81 Toh Guan Rd East, Setcom Building. The cleaning is free. servicing is $100. my fren wanted to service her pump before the arrival of her 2nd baby, brought the pump there and let them check. they said it was working well and didn't charge her a single cent. just cleaned it thoroughly for her. she didn't have the fungus prob i had! i was changing my tubings every 2 mths.. spent abt $100 on new tubings.
Yes Kitkat, sorry to disappoint you but first trim ends at the end of wk 13. 2nd trim ends on wk 27.
i know how u feel. i m week 13 and still feeling so baaad! hopefully this is the last wk for me.

morning to all mummies. yup... dreadful monday
how i wish that im still in bed.
how everyone weekend?
had my visit last sat, good to know that bb is doing well. saw it waving and turning during ultra scan. my next appt will be at 16weeks so i got to wait a total of 5wks. but will be able to start package by then so push appt to a wk later. haha very stingy of me.

Fuzzybear: which model are you using? I'm using the PIS advance and didn't have fungus problem (not sure how it looks like now, haven't took it out for 2 yrs).
But there are times when accidentally the milk goes into the tubing and i gotta wash, takes me ages to dry out the vapour inside!
For me the prob is the membrane, gotta change frequently coz i always tear it.
I also changed the shield to soft shields, it tends to turn yellowish or peel after prolonged sterilizing so gotta keep buying new ones.
how come the tubings so ex?? i always buy the parts from the BP here. it's much cheaper..
I'm thinking of getting a Medela Freestyle coz it is lightweight but it i was told the suction is not as gd as PIS and there are more parts to wash.
Wonder if i shld change? I also have an Ameda but i find the suction not gd. I had mastitis when using Ameda that i had to go thru surgery. i almost gave up breastfeeding until i got my medela!
Silver: Mine on 3rd June! sob..

I'm using PISA too! I love my pump! I have the fungus problem as well, i think it's cos i dun wait till all parts are dry before using. so the water gets inside the tubing and caused the fungus to grow?
fuzzybear, maybe we are working in the same XXXXX sector. I heard that the network is down across the entire sector.

winkle, a good childcare centre should know how to handle a problematic child. It is irresponsible of them to ask the child to leave.

Kayliz, i m using PISA too. i nv had a prob with my PISA with my #1. bf-ed for 14 mths (i m an exclusively pumping mom). with my 2nd boy, i changed new tubings before i started but it got moldy. i flush my tubings to get rid of condensation before and after EVERY pump but it is almost impossible to get every droplet out. Suggest u check lor.. the break btw mt #1 and #2 was 2+ yrs.
I don't have problems with the membranes.. only tore it once for the 25 mths i have been pumping. i don't use soft shields.. i use personal fits. i don't change the funnels but i change the connectors cos the milk tend to get dry inside and cannot be removed properly.
Tubings selling on BP ranges from $22-25 per pair.. i changed 5 pairs!! FS is gd if u don't drive to work. i think the suction can be adjusted but i dun like relying on batteries.. very scared they die while i m mooing which will kill me cos i don't latch at all. a few of my frens had prob with FS's battery.. had to get new set cos they burnt the batteries (left the batteries in while they plug in direct to pump). PISA is better in the sense i nv need to worry abt batteries.
just need to find a socket.
SN, i heard the same.. almost every agency is affected.. *twiddle thumb* early lunch perhaps?

Haha, I for one am so happy it's Monday. Hubby n #1 fell sick over weekend, spent last two nights monitoring my gal for fever. Packed her off to my in laws so I can snooze. Just thanking my lucky stars this didn't happen any earlier during first trimester. And miraculously, seems to be no more nausea! I'll just keep crossing all fingers n toes that it doesn't come back. Week 14 now.

winkle, 2.5yr old should be able to adapt to sch life. actually sometime i hope that my #1 sch will ask one of the boy to leave. he's super hyper. so one of the teacher will be needed to provide close supervision at all times. the worst is my gal always kana hit by him. complained so many times. told the parents but no improvement on his behaviour. hope that we wont be in the same class as him for the next yr.
kayliz, i used a freestyle. super love it. managed to pump for 1.5yrs with it. always manage to empty breast with it. nv have any batt problem. i pump in a toilet at office (no other space available), so its good that freestyle is so small. just that its a bit noisy in a small toilet.

xuan, dr phua package use to be much cheaper during my #1. now increase $100. but i think he still cheap compare to other dr. he's delivery charges also increase a few hundreds. everything more expensive for #2 now. got to be more stingy.
fuzzybear: thanks for the info!! yup the prob with FS is that they use rechargeable batteries. so they need to put in the batteries even when it is plugged to socket because the pump runs on the batt power and the socket charges the batt. if no batt, the pump cannot work.. but there are gd and bad review about it. i thought that the small size and the hands free function was appealing. and many of my friends who used FS managed to breastfeed for very long, close to 2 yrs so i thought it must be good! although my only complain about PIS is the bulk.
mummychua: my PIS is also kinda noisy. I will need to pump at the handicapped toilet too because there is no room for me to express at work. all the meeting rooms have glass doors.

mummychua: i think all gynaes sure will increase their charges over the years.. can't avoid.. but i agree his charges are still considered cheap, yet his professionalism is not compromised. that's wat me n my hub like so far.. =)
but i get quite unhappy with his clinic staff sometimes.

I think FS is a decent pump.
i only advise mommies to buy either PISA or FS. I m also tempted to buy a FS for portability sake cos i m sick of carrying so many things around. I have frens who bf-ed very long with FS too but there were recently a lot of problems with batteries of FS for one batch. i personally know 3 frens who fried their new FS!! had to pay to get a brand new set.
Ya PISA is damn noisy! haha but still better than Swing or Mini Electric. New mommies do take note. Not all pumps are built equal and if u are determined to bf, a gd pump does help. to me it is 50% will power, 50% gd support and equipment. even if the child can't latch, u can always pump.
My gynae has no package.. so far i think i have already spent 3-4K seeing him with all the injections and medication..

xuan, his clinic staff quite nice to me. perhaps im a long time customer so they all recognise me.
PIS= pump in style, FS= freestyle. these two are all medela model. u can find those US import from bulk purchase which is usually cheaper than the local shops.
