Hi ladies,
Just an update. Yest and today got no spotting (keeping fingers crossed) but still has occsional contractions. I guess the CRIB and med is taking effect. I'm taking so many med daily, Nifedipine 20mg (for contractions), Progesterone tabs, obimin, DHA and calcium. Any idea if all these med has any adverse effects on the babies? I'm not worried abt the supplements, more of the Nifedipine...
Hi Merlenna,
Time passes so fast, you are already in ur 28wks. Can see ur baby in less then 2mths, so cute to see her sucking thumb! All the best to you
Hi juju.
ok thanks alot. Its really hard to imagine delivering at 24 wks...i really wana tahan as long as possible, cos now they so small, dr loh say they are only abt 500grams each...
You better dun exert urself with all teh hseqork leh. Must take good care. Oh, good to hear the aqua class better today, maybe last wk is just a warm-up. You got pain where? Is it muscle pain? If muscle pain then dun be so worried, cos it means the exercise is working well for ur muscles
Hi Ms Hae,
Nice to hear from you, so happy to hear you are doing well. I think that you are very strong, can tahan til now. Me oni 23wks got so much problem and need to CRIB already, so worried, cos i still got another 13wks to go til 36 wks. Hope you'll have a smooth delivery and keep us posted ok? Jia you!
Hi Cale,
I may not have to shift to my mum hse afterall, cos she knows i'm more use to staying at my own hse, so she will come by and buy me lunch daily. When my hubby comes back then send her home. Lucky for my mother
Now i dun have to stress abt packing etc. Also can have good rest til CNY eve, hope i can at least go for reunion dinner
But 1 thing is for sure, no visiting for me this yr....then i haven't bought a single thing for my babies, no clothes, diapers etc haha....the oni thing i got i Avent sterilser cos got offer tat time. Bo bian gotta prepare a list for my hubby to get the necesary things later on.

Hi Miss Hae,
Happy for you that you have already passed a very safe mark. Wish you all well in the next 2 week and keep us updated after your delivery
.
Hi merlenna,
So fast you reached the 28 weeks, crossed another important milestone, congrats
. Did doctor tell you what is your baby's weight now?
Hi Bliss,
I also did not get my scan report from Dr Loh. I think they only give upon request.
Hi Maykel,
The 3D free scan is already fully booked. We don't get to do it too.
Glad to know that you spotting stopped already, yes, finger crossed no more stopping from now onwards
. Your mum is very nice, it's good that she can come to your house and take good care of you. Those baby stuff, can buy later after doctor say you are well enough to go shopping or just ask hubby to help buy those urgent one first. You don't have to worry anything for now. Just rest well and let the baby grow stronger day by day
. Best wishes to you, keep us updated whenever you free to post.

Hi Cale,
Ya horr.. too bad. We are too late. Hehehe.. ^_^
Yea, saw the link that you gave that there is an offer on last sep 08.
Hi Bliss,
Maybe you lack of iron. You might try to eat food that rich iron like brocolli, spinach, chye sim, etc. For me, i seldom got headaches, only cramp and difficult to sleep. Hehehehe ^_^
No leh, I will ask the scan result on next appt with Dr Loh (21 Jan). Last time on 1st scan, I remember that we get our scan result back. Do you get scan result on your 1st mester scan (Down syndrome) ?
Hi merlenna,
congratulations on your 3rd mester. Yea... I think you are very exiciting. Wow time really go fast oh...
Hi Miss Hae,
Congratulations. Another 2wks. Jia you... wish you a smooth delivery. ^_^
Hi Ponytail,
My spotting/bleeding was stopped before 12wks.
1 more day then you are officially 2nd mester.
Did the doctor gave you jab or medicine to reduce the spotting?
Hi Maykel,
Glad that your spotting is stopped. Rest well and wish you all the best.

Josephine,
maybe i lack of iron hor, though obimin contains iron too. But Dr Sadhana is concerned about having preeclampsia, coz my vision has been also blurred beside headaches. Hopefully the headache has nothing to do with the blur vision. Hope all these are just temporary discomforts during pregnancy only.
Yes, I did get my FTS report back from Doc that time. But this time she never gives me the 2nd trimester test report.
Maykel,
glad to hear you are getting better now. Ya, I guess it is partly the medication that help and also you have been resting well these days.
Must continue to rest well and eat well. Keep your mood good everyday. Praying for you.
Ponytail,
dont worry too much, think of the good things, ok? Your babies are growing well, you just take extra care, everything will be very smooth.

whole day din post. was on leave but busy doing springcleaning wif my sis who's helping out. then went out for dinner & fridge shopping for my mum. piangz... i still say the same old thing - no more than 2 bedrooms for me ever again. cleaning up is terrible... tmr continue again.
juju,
wow, u have been doing springcleaning lately.
I can't help with the cleaning at all and my hubby is busy and tired with work everyday. We depend on the part time cleaner who comes once a week to clean up. Well, luckily nobody will come visit my place.
Ya, all the rooms will be occupied very soon too and no empty room in my house then.

Hi ladies,
I think I felt my baby's movement yesterday evening! But I am still not confidently sure of that, just that the feeling was so different and I had never experienced that before. It was like something is moving inside and moving for more than half an hour... it was so weird and unusual to me that I couldnt help but kept laughing and then tried to concentrate to feel the movements.
It was really amazing!! I couldnt describe, but it was just wonderful....
I was so happy.

I have been busy choosing a good chinese name for my baby since last week. It was not easy, been checking thru the whole ancient dictionary for many times. Have finally decided on the name, I am so happy and excited about it. Now I can call my baby boy by his name whenever I talk to my tummy, it feels so cute.
Here's 2 similar webpages on what to take note when finding names for babies, can take a look.

Hi juju,
Aiyo, i still say the same thing, dun tire urself too much ok?
Hi Bliss,
Lucky now my hubby reservist, so sometimes can come back early, he had been doing all the housework, poor thing. But part of his duty lah hehe....
Ya, me too, dun intend to invite anyone for CNY except my immediate family. How to invite frens to come and see you resting in bed right haha....
haha...very soon, you would feel ur baby punching /kicking you already. The feeling of their movement is really amazing, enjoy....
Mine very naughty, when i turn to sleep on my side, she will keep kicking me non-stop as thou she dun like to be 'squashed' on haha....

Maykel,
really can feel more kicking soon? Dont know why, I also feel my tummy a bit more uncomfortable when sleep on my side, especially on my left side. I thought sleeping on left side is better. So I also guess baby doesnt like me sleep on my side as I might have pressed on him. Haha!
Ya, no need to invite your friends at this time, cant possibly make them sit beside your bed all the time. heehee...
I insist to have a part time cleaner to help, my hubby doesnt want to, he claimed that he can do the work and this can save money too. But I know him too well, he is always so tired after work and still very sleepy during weekends and mostly sleep over the weekends. How to depend on him solely to do housework? Think my house will be like a rubbish bin if to wait for him to do the cleaning once after a long time. hahaha!

Maykel,
ya ya, I am so free at home and very kiasu somemore. Haha!
I love choosing chinese name, probably becoz I was a Chinese teacher and I studied Chinese language and Chinese literature during my Uni years. I simply love Chinese language in fact.
I dont intend to give my baby any English name as in those ang mo name, I just name him the dialect pronounciation or just hanyu pingyin as his English name in the birth cert.
May things to look out when choosing a name. Must make sure doesnt sound funny(in both english and chinese pronounciations) or friends might make fun of his name. Must be easy to pronounce.And also must have good meaning but not too 'enormous' as in meaning for the baby. And also must not have any same sounds or words in the name as grandparents or parents. And most importantly, I must make sure I myself and my hubby like the name as we are the ones who call baby the most number of times.

Jo and juju,
do you consider getting a nanny?
My friend's sis just gave birth and her baby girl is taken care by a nanny now, only 1 month plus old now and the mother still on maternity leave. She needs more free time to be able to have enough supply of breastmilk for her baby, so send to nanny everyday and rest at home on her own.

juju,
ya lor, must really find a reliable and patient one. Maybe find one thru friends' recommendation or your mum or auntie's friend who is a nanny, so that at least they will do better job thru such referral.
If not, is it possible to take childcare leave to take care of baby for some time?

juju,
oic.... if take unpaid leave, have risk getting retrenched huh? Like that ah.... not easy when working in private sector hor.
For school teachers, can take childcare unpaid leave to at most 4 years per child leh, very good hor? Too bad, I am no longer working le, no need to make use of the childcare leave, so will have 'childcare leave' for long long time....

juju,
ya, one friend of mine who is a teacher, is still taking childcare leave since her first son 3 years plus ago, and her 2nd son is born when first son is only 1 year old, so the childcare leave overlapped, and so cant take 4 full years leave for each child, but anyway is already alot, rite? So she is still a SAHM now taking care of two sons now. Still have 2 more years before she needs to go back school to teach. Wonderful hor?
After I resigned, then Prime Minister increased the childcare leave from 3 years to 4 years and also the child sick leave to 2 more days per year, not bad ah. Anyway, I missed the benefits, but more relaxed not to be in the hectic and crazily busy teaching job. Hahaha!
So perhaps you and Jo have to look out for ways to settle who takes care of baby before resort to giving up own job to take care of baby hor. Hope you can find a good and reliable helper.

Bliss,
wah! good also la, not so stressed. i see my cousin & teachers frens so stressed.
i can't afford to quit la. no nanny, no infant care, then tompang wif SAHM fren for the time being lor. sure 1 centre out of the 8 we shortlist can take my bb bah. i chose 4 in amk & 4 in jurong west area. damn kiasu!
so far, 7 centres choped, 1 last one waiting for the form to come by post. chope first,later then talk. also have to see which center got vacancy first at the time we need.

at least my mum ever offer to help springclean for cny when she noe i preg. my mil diam diam, no offer nothing.
Maykel,
no lah, my chinese is ok only.
Oh, your inlaws are not chinese ah? They are not singaporeans?
ya, understand your worry, I have a girlfriend whose auntie agreed to help her during confinement, but after she gave birth to her baby girl, the auntie couldnt help and only cooked and brought the food to her everyday. Then she has to take care of her baby all alone at home. She told me her confinement period was very jialat and tiring.
juju,
wow, you shortlisted in so many centres, sure can get at least one.
But infant care means they take care of quite a few babies at the same time rite? I heard infant care is not that good leh, coz they cant pay much attention to each and every baby, then baby will be very poor thing esp if not feeling good or what. Perhaps one to one care is better, if not you will feel very upset if baby not well taken care enough.
