Dear ladies, did anyone buy any of these cozy pregnancy pillows? See link: http://www.babycenter.com/101_cozy-pregnancy-pillows_10369713.bc
I miss the last Baby Fair at Expo, also didn't dare to go, since I am still early in my term, and didn't want to run into familiar people. Had increasing difficulty falling asleep because of nauseous.

Dear ladies, I need some advice for vitamins intake. I have cut down on my vitamins a lot since indigestion became a big thing for me. I am taking folic acid, vit c, chlorella, spirulina, (progynova and of course pearlies as prescribed). I stopped on Q10, Iron, fish oil since bloating. I am not sure if I should be taking more or less. My Dr isn't so concerned about what I take, he seemed to be on minimalist route. Anyone has any advice on this?

Dear ladies, I am thinking of replacing one meal with a milk drink, especially for dinner. Has anyone tried that? I was hoping that liquid food can be easier digested by body and hopefully don't cause heartburn thereafter when trying to sleep.

my opinion ...less is more..esp now preggy.. If I were u, i'll stop chlorella, spirulina, vit c..any reasons why u r taking chlorella, spirulina? Vit c can get from citrus fruits..too much will cause miscarriage. I will take folate acid, fishoils, iron tablets -obimin , and calcium ..how many weeks le u now?

hmm..not heard of any cooling flour but for local powder maybe is that prickly heat powder? but I dunno can use on small bbs as later they inhale the powder not good for lungs..i would advise not to put bb powder on bb body..

I have been taking Chlorella and Spirulina like multi-vitamins. As for Vit C, my sister was sharing that it is needed to absorb Folic acid. I am 3 weeks away from crossing the 1st milestone. Feel like ages. I will definitely review my vitamin intake. Is Obimin a better form of iron tablets? Any brand to recommend?

Tea: Beef porridge with brovil, 1 banana
Snack: 1 wheat crackers with cream cheese
Dinner: Packet duck and charsiew rice

Lambi, thank you for sharing your meal plan and spread. I only ate like 3-4 meals:
Breakfast: Bread and Milo
Lunch: Anything almost (Bee Hoon/ Porridge with Vege)
Before Dinner: 1 apple
Dinner: Pork/Chicken Soup or a Fish Burger
(I can't take much in between as burping)
But when I look at what you eat, looks more appetising than mine. So maybe, my food kills my appetite.

as u are only in trimester 1, actually bb dun really need much more than folic acid and if u eat normal meals should be ok. Im speaking from experience..i used to be taking multivits early in my last pregnancy and lost bb..not to scare u..but I think sometimes too much of a good thing dun seem good too..my gynae only started me on obimin and fishoils in addition in trimester 2. Obimin contains these .. http://www.pregnancynme.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=192&Itemid=190 ..remember what u put in ur mouth today affects ur bb tomorrow ..
yup!

hmm..burping means not getting enough water? Maybe drink water or Ribena with squeeze of lemon juice for the tangy taste then nibble on dry meji crackers? I've learned that early morning upon waking up, eat a few dry biscuits cos they help to absorb the acid in our stomach..then wait a little while before eating other food..u can stomach dry plain crackers not?

There are 2 different type purple n blue colour. Probably is the purple colour that has steroid ba. Coz normally if bb has very bad nappy rash they use purple tube to apply

Thanks Lambi. I didn't know that burping means not getting enough water. I think I am quite dehydrated because feels nauseous after any fluid and thus avoided water subconsciously. I will get some dry plain crackers to try upon waking up.

Hello Lambi, this is all very exciting. Stay calm and cool
I heard from a friend that she had hers and hubby's belongings all packed into a small luggage, since hubby has got to stay overnight for at least 2 days. Thanks for sharing the link. Will have a good read at it.

Hey Lambi, thank you so much for solving the mystery for me. I have been following my elder sister's instructions to a T, since she had a successful pregnancy, without realising that both of us are different in our responses to supplements. What has worked for her, may not for me, at least not for now.

hi everyone, I'm a mummy expecting my 4th this year and a FSC with AIA.
Wanted to share... the AIA Family First Baby is a maternity pan that offers coverage for babies conceived via IVF. It doesn't cover costs of delivery but provides some cover in the event of pregnancy complications and congenital abnormalities. And importantly, the life insurance cover transfers to baby upon birth with no medical underwriting. Will be happy to share more info with you if you like. Can PM or call me 90027696.
AIA is also providing one year of free basic hospitalisation insurance (the value is returned in Robinson's vouchers) for all SG50 babies

Recently my hubby has cravings. My cravings are quite less now & some days I don't even like food! I ever heard old wives tales tht if hubby craves means it's a boy. Being in such a multi cultural society I tend to believe all these tales! Hahaha...so I'm wondering is it both are boys? Because my last visit, one is highly likely a boy but we dunno gender of other baby yet.

I need to rant as I dunno where else to rant. Facebook has too many eyes & mouth. Oops
When I was coming in to work this particular parent who has been observing me last few weeks decided to open her idiotic mouth to ask me about my pregnancy. After sharing yes it's my first time & how many months....she decided to make the most stupidest comment tht anyone can make to a pregnant woman: "Oh, you are working in an office so not so bad la. Not tiring one. Last time I worked in restaurant, was more tiring."
Firstly, EVERY single pregnant woman, whether conceived in whichever manner would be TIRED, no matter what job she holds.
Secondly, does she think I'm sitting on my laurels all day? I'm so busy walking around my entire centre being a "policewoman" & supervising & managing.
Thirdly, running a childcare in this day & age with idiotic ppl like herself as my customers is no walk in the park!
Argh. So angry....and my hormones don't allow me to tolerate nonsensical ppl nowadays....

Office jobs doesn't mean won't get tire. Need to use brain lagi tire. When I was still working n doing the ivf cycle the hormone level very high n I eventually cry when I was working coz is so stress, plus I'm under accounts department n there's deadline to meet for the report. N I can't rush out, n 1 of the colleague told me to quit n rest at home. She say do ivf can't have stress de. So I finally quit my job, but now I kind of miss working haha

Strange right? But good lah..although they cannot feel bbs and the weight etc they can at least feel a little 'symptoms' to be able to sympathize with what their wives are going thru

Are there any other ways u think can lessen ur workload? Like hv u an office admin with u? Or head/senior teacher whom can/willing to take on some tasks like say delivery of groceries/checking the sign in/out register, in charge of medications etc? I remember last time we offered to do, cos in my opinion all work as a team and of cos, it is a plus to take initiative and doesn't hurt to learn some ropes too hehe..ah talking abt these made me miss my previous work places..
