Hi poohy
That's really terrible! I remember there is a institute (SIM or SMU) that said that they are going teach youngster some social skills like how to peel prawns w/o using hand (that kind of table manners). My hb was saying that's rubbish! Why not teach them some basic social manners first.
Yah, poohy when are you starting work?

Potato chip,
Finally tat shop allow me to change the sales item. Initially the boss said sales item cannot change, then I told them it's not written in the receipt or the shop. At last, I told them I'll change for something more expensive and also buy another piece of non sale item, then they agreed. Just found out this shop got another outlet in Paragon 5th flr, the clothes r all french design and make in s'pore. The gals clothing r very beautiful.

potato_chip,
i lost 80% of my weight gain in the first 2 weeks probably due to stress, lack of sleep, breastfeeding. Only managed to lose more weight recently cos i was busy studying for my exam and looking after samuel... and he got sick and become very demanding so... abit more tiring looking after him lor... besides i always take care of all his nite feeds (so sleep lesser, I heard the more u sleep the more u gain weight dunno how true). Another thing is i reduce my rice intake to 1 small portion a day only and take protein for the rest of the day... I used to be a rice grubber and gobbled up more rice than my hubby haha..
ya i am so sad.. i definitely will miss my bb. How I wish I can stop work and take care of him myself... then i can also have more time to teach him things.. but the income will be handy for his future and educations.. so just bear with it lor. oh yes, I will start to try for another bb anytime soon... since I already managed to slim down on target.
ET,
so excited for u leh.... I will be praying for u for this coming friday ok ?

Hi gals,
Yest went for my checkup. Baby is "underweight". At week 33, my bb is est about 1.73kg. Normal should be about 2kg. My weight gain also below target. Doc say I have to rest more now and dun be too active, so that baby will grow more. But i feel so unhealthy if I eat and sit/sleep most of the time. Anyway, I will be monitored more closely now and next visit, dr will do a CTG for bb.
Oh yes, met up with vonvon and her hubby yest too. They looked so "en ai" & happy... I leave it to her to update u gals her status!
Hi poohy,
If u planning for another bb, must eat well also, ok.

potato chip, can i ask you smthg?
our compilation of our sisters and food and tcm list shows that foods we need to avoid are soy bean products but yet at the bottom, the list of proteins which says that we need to take more are soya beans...?
so is there any conflict or can any sisters explain?or i have to wait for tomatoes to explain to me?

Hi tnsw
O, I didn't notice it. But, I just read from another thread that actually only need to avoid soya products during the ovulation period. So maybe, we should still take soya products for their rich protein but not during ovulation?!?

Hi potatochip,
The problem is I'm not a big eater. Sometimes, I tried to eat more, but ended up feeling very full till the next mealtime. But i'll try to take more protein during these 2 weeks and see if it helps. My colleague also tell me to take an egg a day. I think I will do that till my next visit.
Hi tnsw,
Your idol looked very charged up yest. I tot he will rush thru consultation cos he started his consultation at TPS almost an hr late and also they are many patients waiting for him. But he never lah. So far I gain about 8kg, but dunno where. He's not concerned about the total weight gain but rather that I gain only 0.8kg for the past 3 weeks, but I guess my fever 2 weeks back may have caused me to lose some weight. I'm seeing him on 6 Jul. If u appt is on the same date, we can meet up too.

Potato Chip,
Thanks, think I ever see someone posting this forum details too. But never notice much as its in chinese. In English I aso have problems understanding a lot of terms, worried that in chinese, I might be even more blur.
Anyway, will check with hubby whether is he interested to go.
Btw, anyone going this Saturday??

potato chip,
its up to you if you want to change RE becuz thats my humble half a cent opinion....but i feel that female REs/gynaes sometimes may not be as good as male but then again, people hv succeeded under female REs and i also have failed under male REs even now under my ouxiang, also my embies din survive...
so its a matter of personal opinion,go with your gut feel...dun hv to be influenced by me or ET, anyway, maybe can call nurse sarah and ask if can change or not
if need be,i will give you a note to pass to my ouxiang so he can give you special care, ha ha ha

Hi gals,
Went for my scan at AMC & doc found only 1 sac with fetal pole & heartbeat. She couldn't locate the other.
Waited very long to see Dr Loh (a lot of patients queuing to see him after his leave). Asked him abt the other sac & he said it may not have survived.
I'm ok. In fact, was kinda prepared for this as the other sac was really significantly smaller compared to another. So....
Anyway, based on the scan, I should be at 6.8 weeks now.
Oh ya...met up with Chemistry. She's so so so slim. Her stomach was quite small for her stage. No wonder doc said bb on the small side.
Chemistry,
Better eat more & build up.
You looked really good. Hope to be like you when I get bigger.

tnsw ~ The doc say that its too early to see any progress. Have to take medicine for at least two to three months to know.
The test report of my hubby for SA is actually not so good as per the TCM doc. But gynea say based on his experience, acc. to MT E's results comparing with other test centre, Mt E results is more stringent, and they only select the best.
Anyway, will bring hubby down to the clinic to see the TCM too for the next time round.
