LY has given birth yesterday evening at NUH. The baby's weight is 2.95Kg. Natural delivery with epidural. She was induced since morning (not very sure when was the actual starting time) Both mother and child are fine.
She actually sms'ed me less than 2 hours after her delivery. So I guess she must be quite okay already.

Ladies,
Do you take any tonic during your 2nd trimester?? Currently only took tonic given by sinseh once a month plus bird nest. So what else should I take??

jolene,
i dun feel anything now cos am slow to react, i will feel excitment, anxiety & nervous closer or day of delivery
for weight gain, tink depends on ur size, health etc. am abt 163cm & my pre-pregnancy weight was 53kg. In the 1st place, gynae told me, ideal weight gain is 12-14kg...... so far, i had gained 11.6kg but my friends & colleagues said can't see wher my weight has gone to.... hahahaha but most of it at my tummy lah.... face, arm & legs a bit only.
am delivering at Thomson cos my gynae only delivers there..
my own mum will cook black chix soup & barley drink with tou kee & bai guo once in a while for me. whereas for my mil, she cooks as per norm thou she's cantonese, she said drink the soups she had prepared is gd enough. so far, she had boiled bird's nest twice for me liao
other times, i jus take from the bottle
mayb b'cos i dun take too much tonics, my weight is not high..... tink i hv to start to take coconut drink liao
dz,
agreed.... do wat's best for u & bb
if can totally avoid travelling to overseas, better dun go......thou had cross the 1st tri, still nt safe cos feel tt pregnancy is a very delicate process
esp when most of us here went thru IUI/SO-IUI/IVF/ICSI/FET so having a bb is a miracle & blessing... we shld treasure our preious one all the more...

Rae,
do u feel heavy and 'burdensome' now ? Need to go to toilet frequently at night ? Can sleep at night ?
As I step into 3rd trimester, i hear a lot of mothers/MTBs telling me all the above. Right now I am keeping my fingers cross, hopefully i will not feel such discomforts
11.6kG Is quite good. I think u can keep between 12-14Kg. I think i may increase more than 14Kg..cos right now i have put on 9Kg already..heehee, and I heard last tri the weight gained is the most , is it true ? My frens and coll also say i din put on much weight, except tummy, maybe bcos most weight go to bb!
jolene,
I also ate birds' nest, and some tonic chicken. Dont take it to often, as in few times a week. Space it out. As for weight gained, i agreed with Rae, it depends on your initial weight. If you are underweight at the start, u can afford to put on more weight. If overweight, then put on less overall weight etc, if average weight, then it is probably the range which Rae has said. but dont take it as a hard and fast rule and starve yourself unnecessarily. I have frens who put on 20Kg and their bb are not that heavy, and they manage to lose weight eventually too.

Hi all
Just found out that I am pregnant through FET. Currently 4 weeks+ and EDD in mid Sept. I had a previous early miscarriage...I lost my pregnancy symptoms and asked for a re-test of the beta HCG. Then realised that a miscarriage was coming. So, naturally I am a little worry this time round.
I had some spotting a few days ago just before i tested positive. Had some mild cramps more like some background cramps. The spotting stopped 2 days ago but the cramps continue. However, the cramps also stopped today. Anyone experience this? Is this something I should worry about? I haven't got any morning sickness yet. Wish I have some of these as at least I know the embryo/foetus is growing well.

happymum,
did u take any injection to support the pregnancy ? I had brown spotting when i first tested positive too. It occured about once(everyday) for the first 2-3 days. Then later another time few days later. But i did not have cramps. Doc put me on progesteron and HcG jabs straight away (not sure whether there are other components in the jab). I had to take jabs twice a week until week 9 or 10. Morning sickness may start later, probably not so soon, at week 6-7. Or u may not have MS at all.

Thanks for the info. It's reassuring. My gynae put me on progesterone and HCG jabs, twice a week and am taking progesterone pills 3 times a week. I guess that should be sufficient.
Did you re-check your beta HCG? I rechecked that once and it did doubled. Not sure if I should ask the gynae to monitor me more closely. I will only be seeing him in week 7.

happymum,
no, i din recheck my HcG.i dunno much about HcG reading and din read much into it. but when i told the sisters here about my HcG reading, they said most likely mine is singleton. And it turned out to be singleton..
Guess the important thing now is to rest well, and don't feel stress. Doc gave me 1 week plus MC after I tested positive and had initial spotting. Maybe u should do likewise. Just 'relax out'...

My doc also gave me 1 week+ MC but I am still working at home. Got a deadline due this week. Will try my best not to get stressed.
What was your initial beta reading? How many weeks are you now?
I am really excited and yet have to be cautious optimistic, given my past experience. Feeling worried about the scan and yet look forward to it.
Many thanks for sharing.

i cant remember my initial reading. u can look at past postings, sometime in Oct or November, hui and I updated the MTBs in a table form. Inside there, there are everyone's initial readings, EDD, no. of bb they are expecting etc.
I am week 29 now.
hui,
i din get this feeling but I have the pee feeling sometimes when I sit too long. maybe becos bb is pressing against the bladder. Is the heartbeat like feeling your bb's movement ? Sometimes i also get kicking feeling near the breast/slope of my tummy but that cant be bb right since it is quite 'up there'. Maybe your bladder kicking sensation is similar to mine, except at different place. Maybe its our own pulse. So u knowing the gender soon hur...heehee

Hi MTBs,
last night I had brown discharge in the middle of the night and it persisted till this morning. I also had some slight cramps. So, I went to see Dr Loh this morning and was given an oil based jab plus to increase the dosage of the white tablet that I have been taking.
I am curently alomost 8 weeks and my EDD is confirmed to be 2/9/07 by the ultrascan this morning.
Anyone experienced the same thing before?
I am very worried
but Dr Loh said baby's heartbeat is fine, so not to worry.

have faith! Your bb's heart beat is still there, so not to worry.
Yesterday also something terrible happened to me. When I tried to pick up a pc of tissue on the floor, I accidentally sprained my waist ligament. Ended up cannot move or sleep. Rushed to 24hrs clinic, Dr told only can take panadol since only 5 weeks pregnancy, and asked me to consider x-ray or hospitalization for observation. On the spot he did an early scan for me ( supposingly by Dr Loh next week) and confirmed 2. I chose to go home with panadol presciption. Today went to chinese physician for massages and now getting better.Dear friend, We JIAYOU 2gether.
