Actually I'm controlling my diet as well .. Less sweet , less carbo .. Less oily ... I think it's good for me and baby too ... But I'm eating quite a bit of beef , avocado , durian (this one is the worst carbo but no choose seasonal fruit must eat lol) all these will make bb grow bigger as I read from dunno where lol

First 2 pregnancy , eat everything .. Thinking that only pregnant women have the luxury to eat double compared to normal ... Cakes, ice cream, buffet ... Gosh .. The thought of it make me so guilty ... No wonder I can't slim down :p whahahah

Do you think the kind of food you ate when pregnant influence your children's food choice?
I had quite a lot of fast food during first trimester when I had nausea. Hope my kids don't particularly love fast food!

Which is a big nono for me !!!

yah we are walking on the edges of the GD clift so stay clear of durian lolz

i used to like it and eat alot but after marriage .. that kind of liking slowly diminished ... cos my hubby HATE durian and our house rule is NO durian in house so now no craving of the fruit anymore lolz

Can you call them to check since it has been a week already??
Click to expand...

I also dunno what number to call leh, cos subsidized patients I go to a big generic clinic, the only number I have is an appt hotline, n I doubt they will entertain me. I was thinking maybe if I still don't hear from them next week I will just walk in to KK, since I want to drop by the Mothercare past season sales again :p I also have an appt w my pte gynae this Sat, so I will get him to triple check on baby's size.

Dun cry dun stress urself

Shared with u all before. That time i kenna i also kenna scare by the nurses in kkh... n they so fierce.. n show me alot of ugly scary pics those poor babies....

I go home also cried.. after poke cried... so stress that time...

They juz scaring u...

U juz remember no sugar drinks less sugar food. More fruits less fruit juice.
N walk awhile after each meal.. even 5 -10 mins also help....

U stress also may affect ur body dissolving the sugar...

Ignore them. Its juz their duty to scare u....

I also managed to survive my 2nd pregnancy without all the testing n stressing of pricking results... juz on a normal diet n try avoid sugar stuff

Now 3rd pregnancy also i dun wan test.

No point stressing myself over the food i can eat or cannot eat... juz eat as healthy as i can then its ok liao... more fibre

Can call the appt hotline. They will transfer u over... but do expect to be transferred here n there before u get ur answer.


But no news is good news....

If bad news they already call u up to arrange for a counselling session liao

Ask the experienced mummies... How many pairs of booties/mittens do we need? Also when do we upgrade from booties to bb socks?
Click to expand...
I dun have much boooties...

I have more mittens .. maybe around 15 pairs or more... coz saliva alot they like to rub their faces.

Less bootie coz it keep dropping. So i straight use socks normally...

But buy looser fitting ones. So dun restrict their growth of feet


I remember my #1 was big baby. 3.62kg at birth. N i bought 0-6mths socks... n wear liao have those lines.. sometimes red lines.. kenna scolding n nagging from my dad for very long n ask me go throw away... lol kan cheong coz first grandchild...


So usually i let baby wear mittens + stretchy socks instead of mittens + booties...

If your bb is going to be big size dun buy so many bootie and mitten cos these standard booties and mitten will be too tight for their Michellin hand and leg .. For my #1 I bought as much as 10 set but a lot can't wear within a month . For this one I only buy 5 sets but a lot of baby socks

For sure they are not influence while in the tummy. They are actually influence when they eat together with you . They will see what you eat and follow

Hahah ... Mitten , booties and handkerchief .. These 3 items always missing or drop somewhere . Normally will get mitten more cos they will use it to touch their face . One day will change 3-4 sets

But if you swaddle baby , then no need to change so often . I will swaddle my girls whole day one . I'm used to it . Mitten is to prevent them from scratching their face

But think my bb weight is on the lower percentile this visit at 1.6kg at week 31+2 days. But mummy still gain 2kg within 3 weeks! See lah, eat too much rubbish food already...:X

i tink some ppl complain that the maternity loops are too ... big and disgusting. so they use the normal long ones. i tink i'd get the long thin ones... at most change more often

Maternity one to me is not comfy.

I buy normal pads extra long thick ones... like laurier thos 40cm 35cm ones for first few days

I already bought
1 pack of 40cm (8pcs)
4packs of 35cm (8pcs each)

Pending to buy
30cm ones ? Coz i big butt... maybe 2 packs coz i think 16pcs per pack

Then laurier extra slim ones few packs

And few packs of panty liners

Will have leftovers lah.. but buy more better than not enough..

Coz later not enough hubby will not help me buy de... better buy extra


Later part of the confinement is less flow but need pad...

1mth of period... haha..
I kiasu lah.. dun think need so many

I bought the Kotex overnight pads 38cm. I usually use tampons, so I'm not sure what's s good pad brand. But I thought this Kotex one looks quite comfy.

i also use tampons if my menses decided to come which is why i cannot stand those thick normal pad so i will get as thin as possible so that i wont feel something bulky there lolz
