I have to do it too. Next week, not looking forward. Heard it's horrible drinking that sweet drink.In shanghai, it's compulsory, regardless of age and weight gain. So no choice.
Oh you are in shanghai! Yah i heard in china they pre natal screenings are v diff from sg. The drink is not v pleasing i heard... Lucky for me i didnt need to go thru it.

Hi little lamb and tlaiyin, Manuka honey is really good for minor colds and cough! Try to take it neat instead of dissolving in warm water. For adults, a teaspoon a day is good enough and remember to use a plastic or wooden spoon. Definitely no metal spoon. My 3 yr old take a quarter teaspoon every morning - it helps to build up immunity too. Some additional info: Manuka honey that is more than +15 is not real Manuka honey. The max natural Manuka honey can only be +15, so that is the best. If anyone wants more info, please feel free to pm me! I am not selling anything, just very interested in this and because it has helped me and my family! Recently, my parents went to New Zealand and they brought back a whole carton of Manuka honey to give out as Christmas presents! Hahaha...

I am thinking of going for family shoot when #2 is around 6-9 months instead of maternity shoot. Didn't do any shoot for #1 cos we saved up for a holiday in Australia for 2 weeks instead! Anyone got good and professional studio to recommend?

Snowymum: great pics from studio loft! They are really very nice and natural looking. I am looking for studio instead of outdoor cos me and family perspire so easily in the sun/heat.
Are those pineapple tarts? Me love the pillow shape ones too! But trying to control ESP since GD test is coming up soon!!!

Dun eat so much pineapple tarts! Fattening and sweet.
At what weeks are u all asked to perform the GD tests? For every gynae visits, i was asked to go for urine test with a litmus paper kind to dip in the urine. I think clumsy babe will know wat i meant since we are seeing the same gyane.

FTT, yup... The last one tub was more than a wk ago. Hb always cut sugar. So like my cuppa if too sweet will be half drank by me....
My gynae nurse will also ask me to do urine test every visit. They say pee on the stick can already.
the further test - syrup one or blood depends on doctor. My gynae din even make me do blood glucose when I had slight sugar readings on the pee stick... Syrup one is unless your gynae suspects u have GD or is in high risk of getting it.

FFT, cos diabetes runs in my family. So doc said better to test when I was preg with #1. In the end, confirm got GD. Sigh, every day every few hours need to puncture my finger and test blood and write diary of the readings to show doc. Haha... After giving birth, have to test again and was not diabetic. So doc say since got history must check if this preg also got GD...

Such a coincidence, just today I was also thinking of doing outdoor family shoot for us too. I also didn't do maternity shots with #1 coz' that time tummy didn't show a lot so not very nice. When I was 37 weeks I still looked like I was 30 weeks lor.My last maternity shot was by studio loft but their rates have gone out of proportion... Pricey!!!

On the contrary, I don't have any cravings this time round leh. Dunno is it because I had a slight phobia of food safety when I was in China, that food doesn't quite appeal to me this time round. I asked hubby to buy my fave pineapple tarts, took a few but now like sian liao. Everything looks very sian to me.

hi mommies,
I'm a new member to this thread joining the May 2014 MTB.
Here's my details:
EDD: 25th May 2014, 2nd pregnancy, gynae: Tony Tan Yew Teck, hospital: Raffles Hospital, It's a boy!
my 2nd pregnancy experience is so different from my 1st one, even they're both baby boy!
In term of cravings, appearance, morning sickness, etc..
Diet wise i'm trying to cut a lot of carbos, and try to take more protein and veggies also fruits!
I have gained 8 kgs so far! I'm currently in 21 weeks + 5 days.
I gained 22 kgs in total in my 1st pregnancy! I hope i consume enough nutrients just for my baby but not overweights, not because of appearance concerns but for health concerns.
I'm writing blog since my first maternity on some beauty tips and other motherhood related tips as per my experience and what i think worked for me.
you may follow me at http://beautyababy.blogspot.sg/
As per one of the posts, i did write about bengkung/post natal girdle that i used after maternity and it managed to keep my belly smaller than before pregnancy, let me know if any mommies interested

Not sure if we are too late to change eating habits but after I was diagnosed with GD, I really have to watch my carbo intake! And also have to control not just sweet stuff but salty tidbits also cannot take. I was so miserable.
For me this time round, it is a bit of the "sigh, if have then just have to manage lor" attitude. But the first pregnancy I was quite devastated with the news of my GD and was so worried if I will continue to have diabetes even after giving birth since it runs in my family...

stinzy, your gynae never advise why need to go through? Is it cos of the the past few urine test results? I know of some gynae who make all patients go through the glucose tolerance test cos GD is getting more and more common.

Haha i was bf-ing my #2 who is born in jan 13... We were not actively trying either... When my bm ss took a sharp nose drive i thot it was cos i sick... But actually is cos i was pregnant... I tested 3x in september over a span of 3-4 wks and all negative (one of the test was done at raffles med where i was there for a health chk up).
So land up for the first 18 wks i was doing things preggy mummies wont do - like eat sashimi, drink beer (lucky i am not a regular drinker), took flu vaccine, did x-ray, "ran" 7km marathon. I only found out when i saw a GP for my headache - he told me to test again and the kit came up with 2 VERY dark lines... The feeling was incredulous...

I have been consciously taking less sugar for drinks. Can drinks are shared with hubby. Avoiding cakes chocolates etc. this pineapple tarts really spoil my market.
The reason was because after my first pregnancy i started to have chronic yeast infection. It was just like there all the time. Cutting all sugar didnt help so i jus take lesser sugar to see if it will help. Am praying it does not hit me again aft this 3rd pregnancy...
And my grandma has diabetes... So i have always been conscious abt sugar intake.
Keep your hopes... everything is not confirm if there is no confirmation from gynae. Maybe your baby is really shy. Don't feel upset afterall it's your #1. Keep the faith strong ok!

SG IP address gets re-directed to TB Southeast Asia.
CN IP address access the original TB website. TB China got even more stuff, with all sorts of rankings etc. Sometimes filter until get eyestrain.
Generally I note that (at least for the items I source) TB SEA has better quality stuff, so I guess it has been pre-filtered in a way.

Oh! I didnt know that thou! Its a good thing thou we might miss out the really cool deals. Nowadays i read the reviews closely before ordering and the descriptions (like they will say 小瑕疵 or stains), I will avoid buying no matter how supper cheap they are.
I bought these really pretty alphabet beads for my gal's recent 1st birthday bash as activity for the older kids. Wah seh instant hit! Even the adults could not resist making a few...

Potatochips, i also got "gender depression" with my#1... My gynae thot it was a boy very early on before the oscar scan. Apparently i learnt its not accurate! Anyhow hb expressed that it will be good to be boy so I was quite upset to learn its a girl. When I had my #2, i was more well prepared. Mentally i told myself no matter girl or boy, i will be happy as long as healthy cos i took 2 yrs to get him/her. Turns out to be a girl too! Hb was of cos more conscious not to stir any gender depression in me... So babe, cheer up! Its not easy to overcome this gender depression thing cos for me at least i feel being chinese brings on the stress! *shucks!*
On a brighter note, girls got more things to buy like clips, dresses... Pattern more! Look at cny clothes n u know what i mean! Hb recently commented- chiong sum pattern is like 2 racks full but for boy only one design?!!! Lolz. PM me if u need someone to talk to.

I have the same experience like you! discovered it when i was almost 12 weeks, i was still breastfeeding when the baby was conceived, tested first tim and it's negative. I ate sashimi, did dental x-ray, drank sangria (alcohol), was still wearing my bengkung, went for body massage and the masseur sort of sitting on top of my body!

Neat idea for party activity! And relatively inexpensive too! I booked Hog's Breath last time for my girl's 1st birthday. They set up a separate play area for the kids, except a lot of kids fell sick just prior and it turned out to be more of an old friends' gathering. Hahahaha...
Super TGIF mood. Started looking at places for baby full-month. Since I've been feeling so sian for unknown reasons, trying to get myself more involved.
