A R, thanks for adding me on fb n here in the list! U really made the effort to scroll thrgh everything that we said n updated the list
thank u! Btw im 32, will be delivering in tmc n its my 1st bb
Faithe, congrats on your oscar result! Yay!! U so lucky, get to see bb for so long! My sonographer turned the screen away fr me while she took the measurements
Chyi, better eat more fruits n veg, n probiotics to prevent constipation.. cos it may get worse as our pregnancy goes on, if kena piles then sure v uncomfortable..

Hey cleodux my edd also 18dec and also baby #2!!
I'm using back my sterilizer from bb #1 and I doubt I will buy anything else except for breast pump and Probably just clothes if the gender is a boy.
How old is ur older one? I'm having headache now. I don't know how to cope with managing 2 together at night. I intend to look after 2 of them at night myself. I hope I can make it.
Hi Chyi, more fluid too coz too much fibre without water will cause constipation too.
Faithe, I have dry skin at my breasts for both my pregnancy. It's fine to apply moisturizer but I feel it helps if u get those pregnancy cream for stretch mark as usually it's more moisturizing.
My bra is also getting tight and it will cause itch as blood circulation is poor. I'm thinking to getting some moulded nursing bras already.
Hi nidellia,
I think my breakfast is no better. As I am not taking any water now in the morning I try to cook plain porridge and go with preserved vege and fermented bean curd. My mil says it's totally bad. But what to do right.?

Hi winny, my first is going 3 years old this august. I am sahm. And next month going to put my boy on childcare I dont care lol. I need to rest preparing for no.2 i know there will be another war after no.2 arrive. My boy so clingy and a spoilt brat. I hope putting him at childcare can make him socialize and be a responsible big brother.
My sterilizer died long time ago. And I dont intend to re use my medela swing. I plan to buy ardo calypso based on reviews. I am still thinking if I want to reuse the cot. As my boy cot is exp and quiet sturdy. If no.2 is a girl I also will buy new dresses hehe. Also need to buy lotions baby toiletris etc.

Hi Chyi,
This pregnancy not that bad but when I had my 1st one, I had very bad constipation for the 1st trimester. After that ok already.
I don't have cravings for fried stuff but soupy stuff.
Hi cljl, my first is turning 2 this oct and I will send her to CC next March. I don't have a helper and my mil will be taking care of my 2nd. Don't think she can cope with a toddler and a baby.
I'm very worried about baby crying then elder one wakes up crying too. My no 1 has nightmare almost every night and scream very loud. Aiyo I think have to take a step at a time.
Hi cleodux, my 2nd should be using whatever my 1st is using. Heehee.... Save $.

winny, oh ic.... its not easy coping with a toddler and a baby... only alternative is to slpin seperate rooms... when I jus given birth, I slp seperate room.. But your slp at night will be sacrifice coz you need to pacify the elder one to slp, then slp a while, the younger one wakes up.... quite tiring at initial stage...

Mummies, can consider taking yoghurt to help with constipation. It works for me.
Oh btw, if you intend but haven yet look for a CL, better hurry. I was having a hard time past 2 days looking for one. Finally, managed to get one who's available.
Momma3, are you a SAHM? I'm also expecting #3 and lack of energy these days to spend more time with them. Feel bad.

Chyi, ya I didnt have any constipation at all, cos I regularly take my probiotics since I knew abt my pregnancy cos progesterone cn cause constipation, n I used to have piles problem few yrs ago so I v scared it'll come back with pregnancy.. so I kiasu n kiasi.. *cross fingers*
Winny, my gd fren's 2 kids also abt 18mths apart. She let them slp in diff rms, hubby slp with older boy n mummy slp with bb cos anw she has to wake up to nurse the bb..

Winny,thanks for ur advice..yeah,guess will get those pregnancy cream..any brand good to use?..
chyi,i had very bad constipation in first trim,so i told my gynae doc monitoring my diabetic n she prescribe me a syrup which helps constipation relieve...its a liquid called lactus. This syrup is sweet but she say wont affect glucose level n is for use in pregnancy. She ask mi start on 10ml 3x a day n after getting it regular to reduce. So now i try to take every morning n i had bowel either daily or alternate days.
I also found the liquid is sold in kk pharmcy on shelving so it need not prescription. Mayb u can ask your gynae about this to help ease your constipation.
By the way, mummies may i know what tablet your gynae prescribe u in 2nd trim? I was on folic acid,vitamin b6 in firsr trim..wed when i visited dr han,he ask mi to start multi-vitamin n calcium tablet. I was told 1 tablet multi in morning n after 2 hrs then calcium..initially i was told by nurse take 2 calcium a day,but she ask if i drink milk often i say no as i not really like milk n puke sometimes,so she told mi take 2 tablet instead. I started the medic ytd but today i started experiencing headache, esp after i took the calcium pill..so i was wonderinh is it the side effects...n if i should reduce to 1 pill a day..

Faithe, yup lactus wont affect your blood sugar. Cos although its primarily made up of a complex sugar, its nt broken down in our body so cant b absorbed at all, all it does is to absorb water into the large intestines so that stools will b softened n increased bulk, then u will get the urge to go toilet.. however u also need to ensure that u drink sufficient water for it to work
u cn buy it fr any retail pharmacy like Guardian, Watsons n Unity too..
My gynae didnt prescribe me anything for 2nd trimester, cos I told him 1st trimester that im already on my own multivit, omega3, n calcium already. As for how many tablets u shd take, u need to check the amt of calcium per tablet, each day we need abt 1200mg nw. If u dun take dairy pdts n soy pdts, better to ensure u get sufficient fr the calcium tabs. If 2 tabs at 1 go is too much for u, u cn consider taking them separately at different times of the day, also ok de.

hi cljl and mummy ting, I have no other rooms. I'm staying with my in laws so......got to live with it. I hope it could work out as the last thing I want is my 1st child to sleep with my mil.
Today I visited my Gynae and I'm happy that my risk for Down syndrome is low. Phew!
He prescribed me with folic acid, vitamin B, fish oil.
No calcium pills as he said as long as we eat there should be enough calcium in us. Calcium pill is one of the culprit to constipation.
Faithe, last time my friend bought me this cream called BUDS. Quite good. I guess it's moisturized enough as my tummy did not have any stretch marks. Breasts too.

Winny,congrats to your good result.! 
Hmmm...i am curious why different gynae give different type of vitamins? My gynae told me now no need folic liao as multi vita alrdy hv it..vitamin b6 is for nauseas right? N i also curious y my gynae no give me fish oil...cos i seldom take fish. Winny, i thought iron then will cause constipation? I remb i read up somewhere in the net,not calcium. But calcium will reduce absorption of iron...i think i read from a book which my colleague lend mi...she got fr tmc as she give birth there...i think the book called Guide to Childbirth..

Hi my Gynae just explained what's the purpose of folic acid. Think is for baby's development and fish oil is for baby's brain. This is my one and only Gynae since my first bb so I cannot explain too. But so far so good.
I asked for calcium pills during my 1st but he told me no need but gave me anyway and I didn't take. I remember it will cause constipation la but I might remember wrongly.
My Vit is called Beaplex something like that. Pink in color. I think that might be iron pills for blood.

Winny, I guess u got no choice. Dun think too much abt it bah, juz b mentally prepared n take things as they come bah.. beaplex is the brand name for vit B complex, meaning contains mixture of vitB, gd for energy release. 1 of the key function of folic acid is to help with closure of neural tube during 1st trimester, which will develop further to form spinal cord n stuff, failure of neural tube closure may cause other defects.. thats y folic acid is v impt for 1st trimester, n recommended for ladies trying for bb too.
Faithe, different gynaes give different supplements cos theres no std guidelines on supplements during pregnancy to date. So it really depends on the sch of thoughts that your gynae belongs to. There r still some gynaes who advocate getting all your nutrients fr normal food n nt supplements, which is pretty outdated in my opinion..

Woah the thread is moving fast. My gynae also prescribed me with different vitamins. I haven't taken any vitamin B n the doctor only given me multi vitamins so far. It was only yesterday that the gynea prescribed me with fish oil.
I had my Oscar scan yesterday, was so nervous the whole morning luckily everything turns out fine.

Found that none of my work clothes fit this morning. Anyone knows where to find affordable work clothes for our expanding tummy?
For the experienced mummies out there, do you know how our confinement should be done? I spoke to one confinement agent yesterday and I was told that the confinement nanny will only start cooking nutritional soup for us from week 3 onwards, is it true?

i had my gynae visit last thurs, as of now, gender is still a mystery. #1 is boy, #2 is girl, so gender doesnt really matter much, as long as healthy. Am trying to tahan not knowing the gender till birth, playing the mystery game. Hope i can tahan the suspense.
Faithe,CL will cook hubby's share and do basic housework like sweeping & mopping the floor, cleaning the stove, washing the dishes etc. My CL looked after the baby at night, unless the times when I informed her that I want to latch that night then she will pass me the baby when its milk time. She'll do the burping thereafter.
Momma3kids, you going to forgo the 4 months maternity leave?

Faithe, I heard fr my fren different CL got different working style so better to chat n discuss with potential CL b4 confirming their service..
Iamnewmummy, I dun wish to overspend on clothes that im nt sure whether I'll wear again next time. I happened to come across a neighbourhood shop at clementi central selling normal clothes, but they've quite a number of loose fitting chiffon dresses n tops, those type that some blogshops sell n u go with a belt type? Each dress only $18, top abt $12.. I bought 3 dresses fr there 2wks ago, workmanship nt too bad, in fact better n cheaper than wat I bought fr online maternity wear shop. N I think it shd b able to last me thrgh 2nd trimester, thinking of wearing them with leggings in 3rd trimester if they get too short with my bulging tummy
if u stay near west side, mayb u wanna chk it out
I juz discovered over the weekend that i cant fit into my last pair of wearable denim shorts liao
need to start looking for casual bottoms liao..
Btw, anyone had their confinement done by mum or mil? Did u all pay mum or mil? If yes, how much did u pay mum or mil?

Hi faithe,
Different CL is has their own style. For mine, I asked if she could go market with my in law and cook our meals and does housework and she can.
At night she takes care of bb and sleeps with bb. My CL strongly believes the mother should rest well. BF is not as important.
Market rate as of what I know, it's about 2.4 - 2.6k
Here's what she did for me previously:
1. Wash clothes for bb and myself. All hand wash but machine spin dry, this include the cloth diapers
2. Prepare 3 meals for me and if family wish, she will include just add portion
3. Prepare red date drink for me
4. Prepare herbal water for me to bath everyday. She believes mother especially bf mom to keep clean but doesn't support washing hair
5. Vacuum and mop house twice a week
6. Taking care of bb
7. If needed, she can follow my in law to the market to buy stuff
8, wash dishes and bb's bottles include sterilizing them
9. Prepare all the disgusting tonics and forcing me to drink. Kakaka!
10. And so forth.....
NOTE: their job usually last either 28 or 30 days and they start counting from the day you deliver even though they are not with you yet.
I don't know about the agencies one but this is the way the Malaysian CL works.
So besides the salary agreed, some also give red packet on the day they come and last day of work.
Hi iamnewmummy, I drink soup from the day I returned.
Hi mummy ting, I altered my unwanted pants during my first pregnancy. That means the seamstress will cut away the buttons and zips to replace with elastic bands. Though its not as nice as those made specially for maternity, it's still wearable. I paid abt $15 per pair but that was 2 years ago,
Other than that, I keep wearing back my dresses.

9. Prepare all the disgusting tonics and forcing me to drink. Kakaka!
10. And so forth.....
NOTE: their job usually last either 28 or 30 days and they start counting from the day you deliver even though they are not with you yet.
I don't know about the agencies one but this is the way the Malaysian CL works.
So besides the salary agreed, some also give red packet on the day they come and last day of work.
Hi iamnewmummy, I drink soup from the day I returned.
Hi mummy ting, I altered my unwanted pants during my first pregnancy. That means the seamstress will cut away the buttons and zips to replace with elastic bands. Though its not as nice as those made specially for maternity, it's still wearable. I paid abt $15 per pair but that was 2 years ago,
Other than that, I keep wearing back my dresses.

Hi mummies!
The thread is moving fast, need to catch up reading the posts.
faithe: Glad that everything is ok for your Oscar, you can have a peace of mind.
Think Dr Han might be more friendly cos he's not that busy liao ba. I'll be seeing him in 2 week's time for my routine scan, hope the queue is more manageable then. Keeping fingers crossed.
For the supplements, I didn't take the ones Dr. Han prescribed as I already have supplements that I'm taking. I'm taking soft-gel (water soluble) capsule calcium pills as I have a history of constipation when I take normal calcium tablets. faithe, you might want to try asking pharmacist if they have recommendations for water-soluble calcium instead, if the current ones are not suitable.
I'd started wearing loose dresses as my bump is showing more prominently these few weeks. I have elastic band pants and jeans but still feel dresses are more comfy as they don't restrict my tummy.
I just heard of horror story of my friend's CL trying to use a blanket to cover his new-born daughter's face while trying to quieten her cries at night. Lucky he got CCTV inside baby's room, else he wouldn't know. The CL was fired straight-away.
Please be careful while choosing a CL, ladies.

Hi all! I'm back
MS eased up and I'm feeling much better le. Hopefully it goes away forever!!
For those looking to buy new clothes, I would suggest getting those with nursing access so can continue to wear long after give birth. Last time I duno, buy buy many maternity clothes then aft give birth have to buy even more nursing clothes. So waste money la. Plus have to pack away the maternity ones to clear cupboard space, waste time.
