Hi sane, can i check who's your gynae at KKH? I just confirmed an apptmt with Prof John Tee for next week and won't it be cool if we have the same gyna!My gal is delivered by Dr Jocelyn Wong, she is a very good female gynae. I heard Caroline is equally good too.
As for facilities wise, I am more comfortable with kk.
Just like when the sac couldn't be detected during my first scan, they arranged me with the sonagrapher for detailed scan even on a weekend evening and I am comfortable with my current gynae too.

For ladies suffering from morning sickness, I find that having some food in my stomach all the time really helps.
For example, I'll be eating a slice of bread before I leave the house, have a light breakfast at the office, throw in a before-lunch fruit snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack (bread and peanut butter / bread bun / fruits) and perhaps something (nuts) before I leave the office.
I know it's not possible for some of you with severe nausea to down anything, so eating anything (even burgers) will be better than eating nothing! Whatever works at this point. I read somewhere that we can also get more nutrients in the second trimester.
JIA YOU!

I took this med before. It is one of the med that can be used during preg. Should be alright. Get well soon!
The second piece is reasonable. $29.11. I think cos it is not a maternity piece. The first one is a maternity piece so more ex. Total bill is about $72. Keeping my fingers crossed it will fit. Haha.
I probably will do a family shoot instead. Every year i get a free photo shoot from prudential. So will make use of it. I did a 3 month shoot for my first one thru a friend but such a disaster cos he was so grumpy. The second shoot was at 9 months using prudential free shoot and again so grumpy. We did an extended family shoot at 14 months at kids pictures for my dad's 60th bday. They are very very experienced. The result was great but the price not cheap so unless special occasion i doubt we will go back. Last year we did another one at 21 months using prudential free shoot.

Girls, you all can try Old Navy from USA too.. their maternity wear are very affordable
I am about 1.55m. Was thinking I can pass u my clothes next time when I am done. If my hubby and I are younger I dun mind no. 3 but well.....
Went for sushi & sashimi today. Blah before & after.totally can't keep food down.there goes my $35.
Gynae's supplement usually start from trim 2 deNot sure if I am eating well but ever since I decided to just go with my heart and eat whatever I can stomach, I feel better emotionally.
My dad also tell me that if gynae never prescribe supplements yet, maybe it is okie. He said, cant be the gynae doesn't want to earn your money, right?
Yah... I agree, and I think people always said maternity wear may make one look bigger than they are. And the price tab is driving me away. hehe.
Me too, I prefer normal clothes that can rewear then not so wasted. I think I will go hunt awhile in Qoo10, sometimes got good bargains. hehe.

Now is the rainy windy season, wear more clothings and I only wear long sleeve now.

According to my gynae is 12 weeks, will be considered as 2nd trimester.
If there is reliable caregiver like my mum, I will send the child to kindergarten just like my gal.

Hiaz..today my boss talk to me abt contingency plan that might need to make other arrangements for me
just hv to take it positively it might reduce my work stress.see wat he propose lahOhhhh I'll be a giant amongst u ladies
If the baby is not too big, u can definitely go for natural. Ur gynae might be able to advise when it's closer to due date. For petite mums like us, usually the belly will look like we have twins bcoz we are not tall. And beware of backaches, will hit sooner than others.
Depends on how old is the older child. If they start childcare first, usually u won't switch to kindergarten bcoz they are used to being at school the whole day. There are school hols when in kindergarten so there must be resources at hm during those period.

Your ms is the really serious type. Why not just take leave and tide over these period first?
After all there's still 4 months maternity leave might as well utilise co leave first.
Most ended the horrible ms in the 14, 15 weeks.
Mine got better in the 12 weeks now it only attack at night and when it comes, i hurry go Zzzzz
Hi mummies, i just found out im preggy a few days ago and went to c my regular gyn yesterday who confirm heartbeat n edd in Aug . Is pretty stressed as this is my no. 3 and unplanned for it. I have two kids , 2012 and 2013 so u see is going to b do re mi... was hesitating to give up the bb but have no courage as is a life. But keeping the bb gonna b a bit challenge be it financially or ability to cope w 3 young kids. Is a dilenma. Now is only kept between my hubby n me . Yet to told my family member.

Hihi. ... at least ur bb has close age with the siblings. They will have accompany and grow up together.
This is what my gal being derived from her early childhood and I have long given all the baby stuff away.
Moreover the stuff can be hand down from the older kids, save alot .....
It will be a fun big family and a joy. I always envy families with 3 kids.

My 1st bb wasnt big size but coz he too comfy inside, inserted 2 pills to induce also no use, then up c sec. Surprisingly the wound also heal quite fast n not much pain. Maybe gynae skill v good.
Now i hope can try natural if possible. But must have epi. Else i sure cry.

It is fated for number 3 to be part of your family. Dun give up on him / her.
Stay positive, and believe that u can.

Maybe ur sil can return the favour after u give birth, my buddies also pass the items among each other.
Space will never be enough when there are kids, maybe can switch to a bigger place when the kids grow bigger and with in laws and a helper, they can focus on the older kids while u look after the bb.
Actually I share the same dilemma as you too because my pregnancy is also unplanned but I can't make myself to abort and it never ever cross my thought. Moreover my gal is already in P3 so u can imagine my horror to "restart" again.

If the med makes you better, just go ahead. Did you try the seaband, lemon water?
Take care, now baby is more important, let career take a backstep. Hugs.

Yah, hopefully I can go for natural. Fingers crossed.
I do feel backaches sometimes too.. I wonder if there is anything to do with our posture, like how we carry the extra weight.
Maybe I should go source for some prenatal yoga classes.
I agree. Don't give up! I read somewhere that the effort from two to three kids is not as great as from one to two kids. If the family can manage two, three should be no problem plus yours so close in age gap. I really envy you. This is my 4th preg but 2nd kid so you are really blessed from my perspective. Share with you my friend's case. No helper and no elders to help out. 3 kids and stay in sengkang. They live a modest life and last year she took her first holiday in 10 years. Her oldest is now 10. Second is 8 and third is 6. It is definitely a challenge but also a joy. Hope all turns out well for you.

Hi Xuan_mom, it is indeed quite challenging for you to care for 3 kids who have close age gap.
However, it is a blessing to have a child. Do consider carefully on your decision.
What did your husband say? Is he supportive?

Hugs to you, sincerely hope you will keep your baby. It is really a blessing to the family.
I came from the 2WW-ttcing thread and there are many ladies who tried very long and went through a lot but still cant get any.
Kids need love from family and they being close in age, will bond well together, they won't mind the small space but will grow up well together.
Just to share, I have a friend staying in punggol 3 room flat and she has 3 kids with helper and now her mum stays in too to help with the kids. Her's are also do re mi. But they are very happy.
I agree with sane that I envy families with 3 kids too.. I don't know if I can ever have 3 since I took quite long to get this no. 1 but jia you, ok?

Understand how you feel... And I am sure your friend is happy... I feel v happy for her too. *touched*
Yah i look upon her as role model. Gave up
working for a few years so they rely on single income. She has gone back to part time work now.

Really very admirable... sometimes modest lifestyle can be very rewarding too especially when one has the love and support of the family.
I have an ex colleague who also had 3 kids. When her no. 1 is 4, she had her no.2 and subsequent year no. 3. After she had her no. 3, her husband had no job, for quite awhile (like got 1-2 yrs then subsequently do part time here and there) and they just relied on her single income. Now her eldest is already 10 years old and almost as tall as her le... They also managed to pulled through le.

Actually me too... 4th pregnancy but 2nd one. The joy of seeing your baby upon birth is so indescribable and I find that living a modest lifestyle is actually good.
I believe in fully utilise and recycling a item rather than to waste it and I am such a hoarder, always buying things that I don't need and taking up space in the house.
Trying to change such bad habit.

I wonder how prenatal yoga is like? More like easy pose and breathing??
I can't imagine we do the plank and postures that require strength and core muscles
Thanks mummies for your encouragement.
Rurukumi, when we first found out positive from the test strips after i suspect preggy as im been losing appetit n super sleepy, my hubby make an assessment and he think prob letting go is better. Then i broke down w tears as i wanted to keep the baby. He said he just wanted to have a discussion and yet to make a decision. Then i avoid the topic the 2nd night. Then the 3rd morning my hubby told me we shd keep the bb after some thots as : LIFE COMES WITH REASONS AND DESTINY TO BE CREATED.
But i becm worried and have actually thot to give up is a better option. Unexpectedly my hubby is firm abt keeping the bb even after i repeatly ask if he is sure. Im not sure if he did that becoz of me. But he told me he cant bear to take the bb away.

I was thinking of taking prenatal yoga classes too! I've always been active but this pregnancy has proved to be challenging! Can't imagine not exercising for 9 months. can try low-impact aerobics (no jumping involved) and brisk walking once we all feel better. For some of us, we may have more energy during T2 to try those activitiesI wonder how prenatal yoga is like? More like easy pose and breathing??

Also, just to share its good to continue light exercises during pregnancy - the delivery process will be faster! However, i recommend all to consult ur gynae and let him know specifically what exercises u are doing. My gynae had mentioned not everyone is suitable for exercises actually.
