Was told u can eat once per wk from week 13 onwards n slowly increase to 2. Bird nest contain something aids the brain function the guy told me la. I eat bird nest twice a week now despite I m only at week 13 coz I can't take chicken essence. It makes me feel sick
I just checked out their dresses looks quite nice. Some of my clothes are getting tight and in the evening baby bump is so obvious. Need to get some new clothes soon!happycsk, since you know the exact date you conceive, that will be more accurate. ultrasound EDD's are just estimates based on baby's size and it common to have a +/- of a few days.
Doraemon_mummy, I just saw gynae today too! also didn't manage to get a confirm answer. saw something in between the legs but gynae said it could also be the umbilical cord, hard to tell. like you, got to wait till next appointment. for clothes, I highly recommend Mothers en Vogue!currently my favourite place to get maternity wear, bought many from there already. can wear through pregnancy, nursing and even after returning to work. all the designs are very nice and of very good workmanship. there is a shop at centrepoint. otherwise can order and try/collect from their office at Bukit Merah. http://www.mothersenvogue.com/
@littlepurple, you do not need to have full bladder, mebbe moderate is enough. Last time I have full bladder during scan, my gynae told me next time no need full bladder anymore as I have reached more than 11 weeks oredy.
now qoo10 is selling $129...quite tempting to get as starrymommy said its very good..anyone getting?qoo10 selling Spectra M1 really cheaply. $135, ships direct from Korea.
hope this helps!
Tempted to get the spectra 9+ model. Can the accessories be easily purchased in singapore ?
if baby doesn't latch well, then you have to rely on a good breast pump to empty your breasts and make sure you keep on producing more milk. imagine using hands to manually express out the milk on a daily basis every 3 hours? that's 8x over 24 hours. your hands will ache! and anyway, electric pumps nowadays are very affordable. even if you end up not using it, you can always sell it off with minimal loss.
in the end, your sanity and self-worth is so much more important than a bottle of breastmilk!
same here. athough is my first but i also worry that my milk supply may not be enough cos my mum 's milk supply for us is pretty low. i feel stress now despite the bb is still in the making
congrats! ah.. sorry, how many weeks pregnant then can see gender? i will b visiting my gynae next wk at wk 14
@newbiemum80, I am about week 15 now. From what I read, you should can see baby gender from week 14, but all still depends on your baby position. After doc tell me baby gender, then want to show me again, baby so shy and move his position. So I did not really see baby's birdie there..... lols
my gf only put on 4kg throughout pregnancy. baby also very healthy, so don't be too stressed out on that aspect. likely you are just a petite mummy!

yaa..... my sis oso told me later if gain too much weight, oso difficult to have normal delivery. Coz baby would be too big.mylilsheep, maybe you can try drinking 2 glasses of maternal milk for a start? and eat more beef!
cynn04, I had 4fingers yesterday too and didn't like it either. tooooo salty! did you have the soy and garlic one? 'cos that's the one I ordered. think I will stick to Popeye's and Texas chicken..
I know what you mean about the pressure. I struggled and had the "die die must do it" attitude for #2 because she was a preemie and was a mere 1.2kg.. very heartached watching her lying in the little incubator, struggling to breath, plus all those tubes going in and out from her little body. the NICU nurses said preemies will thrive better on mommies' milk instead of the preemie formula. if she were a full-term, healthy baby, I am quite sure I wouldn't have given myself such pressure. I had mastitis 3 times too and the pain, of gosh, the pain was 10x worse than giving birth. at least I could get an epidural for labour pains. mastitis pain made me tremble and shake for days. had no words to describe. doubt I would endure such intense pain even for my own hubby.. hopefully for #3, the journey will be smoother and pain-free.
however, with all that said, just make sure you do what you feel is best for you and your baby. there is no right or wrong. doesn't matter whether you breastfeed your child till he/she is 7yo or you give FM right from the start; the decision you made won't make you a better or lousier mother, for you are the best mother your child can ever have.
@cynn04, I am afraid if I drink maternal milk then become overweight liao. The funny thing is, gynae told me I am so thin, but hubby told me I am so fat. lols.... I believe my hubby knows my fat more rather than my gynae.
