Congratulations Kikigirl! U cross into 2013 with a dragon princess!
Joanne, just a couple more days! For the cot, did you buy two for each of your twins? Do u mind sharing the brand/model?
Hi Imel, congrats on your BFP. My MS did not stop at week 12 - I read that every pregnancy is different so it's not possible to use other pregnancies to gauge when yours will stop. I was extremely frustrated at weeks 13-15 when I was still so sick but when I let go of the hope and idea that the MS should stop at week 12, I felt better. Instead I focused on getting the necessary medicine as well as getting used to the idea that my fate is to vomit past 12 weeks. I am at wk 17 now and yesterday I vomited about 8 times still.

Dian_tang, the pillow just make it a little bit comfortable but not enough to help me sleep
Money wasted lah...Ha ha!
Imel, congratulations on your bfp! Generally, for majority of the ladies, ms will improve from 12 weeks onwards but like Mofmm said, some ladies have it for longer. In the first trimester, I find what helped me most was to forget about nutrition and just eat whatever that does not make me nauseous or throw up. For me, this means only fruits, cereals, ice-cream, chupa-chup, Wang Wang biscuit and Heaven & Earth green tea. Ha ha, hardly ideal but they help me through the day because the smell of cooked food sends me reeling. Another tip is to anticipate when you will be hungry and eat before then because hunger (which strikes fast and hard) makes one nauseous too. So I ate almost non-stop every 1.5-2hr. I kept cereal bars next to my bed and ate at 2am, 4am and 6am too because I would wake up in hunger. I think out of all the ms quirks is how disgusting I found plain water to be. All the best and hang in there. Take care!

Lil Ponyo> no choice got to act fast. Like the pram/cot...all went out of stock! And have to wait for delivery blah blah... so for us we settle big ticket items first.
those smaller/bb care items like shampoo/diapers/bottles/clothes, can buy from KKH/kiddy palace so still not that critical...
these days really got to be KS...sighzzzz... but lucky DH has been very helpful in his research ...

Babysmurf, so happy that you can see your baobei tomorrow. I have wait till next monday. Have not seen baby in 6 weeks!! I can't feel baby either so don't know what's going on in there. All I can see is my super big tummy. Enjoy your scan tomorrow! My appetite is very bad too. Very unhealthy but can't help it.
Dian Tang, I also use bolster but now my bolster a bit flat already. Ha ha. I'm on the lookout for a replacement bolster that is harder and sturdier! I find that I keep waking up at night again. Always don't feel rested in the morning.
Girl Girl, ya my DH and I really need to start. Last week, we told ourselves to enjoy the rest of the holiday and start to chiong from Jan onwards. So now that it is Jan and we are back to work, we really need to get our act together. I think I will start calling the contacts that my friend gave me for confinement ladies.

Sade - more and more. Getting more excited. I just went for my last pedicure- so shiok. My inflated bear feet got massaged into cinderella feet
Btw, both of my sisters (at different gynaes) after week 36, every week they will get strapped to this baby heartbeat monitoring machine. When the heartbeat drops, it means time to deliver. I wonder if dr loh does that.

whiteclover, so nice to have a pedicure now. Me still working. Whats abt u?
Ya think dr loh wont do that cos he always like to help us save money.
Anyway really hope my bb will come out on EDD. hehe. have to start packing my hospital bag soon.
Do u have diffcuilties in turning left to right at bed or getting out of bed now? Have u started drinking coconut water? Me just started last week. Plan to drink 2-3 per weeks. Cause i keep on feeling v hot.

eskimobaby : thanks. Now spotting has stopped after i cut down on walking. Phew.
Lil ponyo: your MS sounds a lot like mine haha. Now i have no more MS but still have to get up at 2 am, 4 am, 6 am to eat. Really irritating. Now lots of gas after i eat.

Joanne> wah fast! So have to do fasting for tonight? Remember to rest well ok?
Min81, okay let me go and check out the Aussino pillow. I like big big ones because I'm quite big size. LOL!
Girl Girl, ya our biggest ticket item is a new apartment!! Now viewing apt like crazy because our current place is too small. Another thing is the confinement lady. Still undecided whether to go private or go through agency. What about you? Thank goodness my friend is giving us her baby cot and changing table.
Kikigal, hope everything smooth smooth and you and baby can go home soon!! You mean you put cabbage on your boobs?!
Sade, what is the reason to drink coconut juice nearer to edd?
Is the next graduate you and whiteclover after Joanne? I'm so excited for you mummies!!
Egg Factory, Ha ha, yes frequent meals is pretty irritating and my DH doesn't understand why. He thinks it's so wonderful if he can keep on eating! I'm in my week 18 now and luckily my ms has subsided too but still get bad days once in a while (like yesterday when I threw up).
Joanne, jia you! jia you! Cheering you on with poms poms!

Lil Ponyo> i see, so when do you intend to move house? Remember to leave all the heavy moving etc to your DH hor. Dun attempt to do anything.... for me my mum doing confinement for me as she knows what i like to eat... go thru agency go good also, coz they will advise u on the paperwork blah blah....not sure they will let you see CL biodata (like maid agency) or not.

Hi Babysmurf, how was your scan today?
Hi Lil Ponyo, yes, should start with the CL asap. Called a recommended CL today and she is booked. Luckily she recommended another lady who has done twins before. But quite exp at SGD3500 cf 2100 for a singleton. I prefer to rely on Friends' recommendation instead of agency. For housing, I have shelved my plans till the babies are here, hv to make do with the 2brm one now - put maid, nanny and babies in one room to start. Wish u all the best with the house hunting!
Hi GirlGirl, is there a checklist of some sort of what we need to get? Do u mind sharing pls?
Hi KikiGal, I hope you feel better (heard engorgement is agony) and you and your princess can go home soon.
Hi Joanne, difficult as it is, hope u have a restful night to prepare for tomorrow! Looking forward to your updates!

All the best Joanne! Have a smooth delivery
Znatasha,
Why no fish? Yes, no chicken for first 2 weeks. I ate mainly Fish n pork for first two weeks. Fish papaya soup is good for milk production.
