But gynae thinks it could b genetic cos I m small size n so is my hubs. I have been on a very high protein diet since second tri so to me I feel it's probably not a nutrient problem. My main suspect could b stress, since my job is quite stressful n I walk a lot so you might want to take it easy too. Don't worry most babies catch up even if small at birth

Yea my #1 was also small at birth which is possibly genetic (me and hubby are small as well). I was quite stressed at work when expecting #1, but now i'm a SAHM and still cannot take it easy! haha. I don't feel so mentally stressed now but always got things to do...
And yea I agree, my #1 ended up being a super chubby baby! I'm just worried that gynae will make me induce if this bb is too small and not growing in the tummy

Agaga and lervia: thanks for the advice.... both myself and Hubby would like to seek for 2nd opinion coz my son can see far... so my Husband is not convince that he required glasses.. he doesn't want my son to depend on the glasses..

I also have the same worry as you, that I might need to be induced. But I heard that as long as LO is growing at a steady rate even though still smaller than the average, gynae will not have gd reason to take the baby out. As long as we continue to eat healthy n rest well I think it should be fine
although I m still nervous for my scan at 32 weeks but trying to psycho myself that as long as she is healthy small also never mindTiffanytei

Ya me too! Lower back especially pain, almost got to stop walking. Pelvis getting more pain. Makes me very reluctant to get up from bed or from sitting position. These few days walk really slow and need to hold tummy, sometimes got to 'press n hold' my private part cos very painful.

Yeah I get the pelvic ache on and off also. Mostly when I pee!! Lol. Feel like the baby wanna come out. So funny. But gynae told me nth to worry as long as my tummy is not hard or contracting. Lol. Yeah, I can't walk for long also now. Walk also like tortoise so slow. -.- haha.
I did some stretching and yoga poses, which does help me to battle the aches and pain. Maybe you can try??

My kid needs glasses too. She has been on them since 2.5yo. According to her eye specialists kids compensate v well. So there is no such thing as cannot see. But will affect muscles in the long run. But after fitting glasses there is also issue of compliance. Cos not every kid will wear it consistently. Once on it u Hv to b consistent else will make the muscles worse. If u don't fit now there is always a risk of getting worse without u knowing.
We got a second opinion and all say the same. If u r interested can go for eye therapy also. But it is considered not medical but an alternative treatment.

Me three! I used to have backaches but they just disappeared. Now only pelvic and vaginal area pain every time I move from one position to another. Getting up from lying or sitting position is also a problem. Everyone comment my tummy is super big now. Like gonna give birth anytime but still got 1 1/2 more mths to go!

Ok
For back can do:
This is child pose. Make sure you open your knees very wide apart and big tummy cannot touch the floor. If it's touching you must move your bum upwards so tummy doesn't touch the ground.
Legs wide apart like shoulder length. Then hands against wall and push straight to release tension on lower back.
Alternate between these 2 pose to relax your back/spine muscles. When arching your back you don't stuck in your tummy. Just point shoulder blades upwards. Cannot exert pressure on tummy. So one pose is up, when bum face down abit then when relaxing - bum turn up abit.
We cannot crack out backs but can do this pose to stretch our back muscles.
This is side stretch. I do with one leg stretched out to the side and the other leg cross/tuck in. Then side of tummy cannot press down on leg. Just turn outwards, so tummy doesn't press down... So if leaning to left, turn your tummy more to front-right side so your tummy don't press on on your left leg.
This one is good for hip widening. Promote easy birth. Next picture also
same.
Hope these helps and that you can understand my explanation. Lol!!! This is what I learnt from my yoga classes. There's more but hard to find pics and to explain the rest leh. Hahaha.

Oh, I suggest u to consult your gynae asap. I remembered I have slightly spotting too during my #1 pregnancy & after a week, I experienced contraction. My #1 was born earlier at 38weeks.
May also due to long walking hours or not enough rest. Do consult your gynae & update us ya! Don't worry too much yet. U will be fine..

Actually I only take 2 meals, morning a bowl of noodles, evening half bowl of rice. This is usually my eating pattern before pregnant. Sometimes in between if hungry will eat something light like bao, queh, bread, biscuit plus milo. Ice cream is usually after dinner craving. I don't think I eat alot leh. Still, weight is increasing everyday.

Yes, i almost eat same like u...bf (bread or noodles or McD during weekend), lunch (mix rice or noodles), dinner (normally noodles or porridge or zhi char), but sometimes dinner will take subway, or fast food....but everyday will hv at least 1 or 2 serving of fruits (guava, rock melon or apples)....n i drink lots of water...probably it's bcoz outside food lots of MSG, that's y sooooo thirsty...
@beac, thanks for sharing. will go try it out. Doesnt look difficult.
@agaga, u dont seem to eat much leh. i usually still stick to my 3 meals. Bkfast usu is bread / cereal / bao. Lunch usual hawker fare. Dinner mainly meat /fish / vege but reduced carbo. But got sweet tooth lah, in between will sneak in a bubble tea / ice cream / yogurt.

Breakfast: I'll have 1-2 cups of milk, sometimes peanut butter or Nutella sandwich, sometimes hard boiled egg or cereals.
Lunch: I just eat foodcourt type of food cos I go work and normally drink ice tea.
If I get hungry ard 3-4pm, I snack on either biscuits or a prepack sandwich or afew cubes of dark chocolate haha.
Dinner: I eat whatever my mil cook for me at home.
Inbetween I drink a lot of water. And I drink my earth mama heartburn organic tea if I get heartburn. If not I'm drinking the third trimester tea.
In afew weeks time when I'm near 32-33 weeks I will start drinking raspberry tea. Anyone gg to drink raspberry tea? Heard it promotes a less painful delivery. Then later on for the last month I will drink coconut water.

Tiffany,
My diet are mostly sweet,fried stuff during pregnancy and also have family history of diabetes.So doc say i must test lor...
For dinner,i usually eat brown rice, bee hoon, congee,kuay teow,wheat pasta or bee tai bak as the source of carbo (Try not to eat yellow noodles, ban mian,mee pok,mee sua all these)
meat : chicken/fish/pork(they recommend dun take red meat) or change it to tau kwa/tau hu/tempeh
large portion of veg : leafy vegetables( I eating bitter gourd, it does help to reduce blood glucose but not everyday cos it nature is cooling)
Fruits : Green fruits like Guava(I find the effect good), green apples (I noticed my blood glucose level go high when i eat red color fruits so i take them when i dun need to record the blood glucose level
) Of course, no durianreduce starchy vegetables like potato,sweet potato,pumpkin,sweet corn,tapioca,lotus root (if u take them, reduce carbo portion)
oh ya, take Hi-cal low fat milk... or skim milk... better also...
by the way,did ur gestational diabetes go away straight after ur #2 pop?
@kitty, why cannot take red meat?
Those going for natural, any idea if you in the delivery suite for >12 hours, will the hospi charge extra? by hour?
i went for Mt E novena tour, they dont have a waiting area. once admitted, they will put u in a delivery suite and the clock start ticking. After 12 hours, charge by per hour lor. Is it the same as other hospi?

Yeah I agree. Every labour is different.
My hospital I choose is Mt Alvernia. They have a waiting area till you're about to deliver, then they will transfer you to delivery ward.

I was dilated only like 3cm so I guess they put me at the waiting area. It's in a corner of the delivery ward there. Wah 16 hours! I took I think... 11 hours? From waiting area to delivery.
Later I'm gg for the maternity tour at mt Alvernia! I will see if they say anything on the charges for the delivery ward/waiting area.
Ya.. think most NTUC should sell those fresh young thai coconut. *slurp*
My 1st is at TMC.. also waiting area first, the into delivery ward. Didnt' stay for > 12 hours though. But if includes the time at waiting area, then got >12 hours.
Mt E novena no waiting area. So a bit worried about the extra charges.
Can any mommy remember what is the range of PD charge if the hospi allocate a PD to you for the 1st few days you r in hospi? i'm still thinking if i shd appt my normal pd or just let the hospi decide. Thanks!
