Do u all manage to feel abit of bb movement? Sometimes I get to feel it  it's amazing feel. Yd do scanning also can see bb actively moving. After tat feel so relieved n happy.

hello huafen, we're in the same situation.. must wait till detailed scan then can confirm bb's gender. but it's okay lah, as long as bb is healthy and growing

ariesgirl, congrats to having a boy! ur hubby must be very happy!

tights are 2 for $20 from cotton on and pants (like jeans like that.. with rubber waistband and drawstring) $39.90 from uniqlo. i love the uniqlo pants!

bigtummy, where are u gg? hubby says wanna go for another short trip but i had a very disastrous trip last month at krabi which really frighten me that i do not dare to travel now that i'm preggy. i had to be admitted to their local hospital cos of UTI and now i got travelling phobia :\

yesterday someone gave up her seat to me on the train.. haha. guess my tummy is really obvious. oh ya, suddenly i seem to put on weight faster and faster. for the past 1 week, i put on 0.5kg-1kg. i hope the weight gain can slow down!

Hi all Mummies to be,

Went for my scan today, am 17 wks + 2. Dr say 90% is a girl... But unfortunately found out i have gestational diabetes. Also did some other blood tests. How have all of you been feeling lately? My nausea has stopped but other stuff like backaches, indigestion and fatigue come at 1 time...

 

[Huafen83]

Hi all,

I also going to grab somemore clothes over this weekends.

Wow bigtummy, so gd u going for holiday. I guess like ariesgirl, I will onli travel when I doing my ML

So far still no one gives up seat at mrt for me. 1sr is too crowded to notice mi 2nd may be I look fat rather than preggy.clothes over this weekends.

Oh applebreeze, pls take care u muz take note of ur food intake. Can't take too saltish or too sweet food. I going for my blood test 2 weeks later. Also quite sacred.

 

[ariesgirl]

hi MTBs,

how many blood tests are you going for? i went once during the oscar check in week 12.. after that gynae never ask me go blood test..

the next one will be detailed scanning..

Baby Love is PINK!:shyxxx:

 

[BigTummy]

Hi Applebreeze, What test did you go that found out the result? Don't worry so much. Take care of the food intake
I’m similar to ariesgirl where we did the Oscar test in week 12. Unfortunely , my result for Oscar test not so fantastic, thus to play safe, went for the amino. Result should be out by this week.
Yeah.. i’m going Beijing. So happy!! Though slight worry that can’t walk much. Beg my hubby super long to get this trip after knowing pregnant. If not, sure to be trap for the next 1 to 2 years, if breastfeed is ongoing.
Haiz.. since last week, there are ppl letting me sit. (happy to sit, but sad that i’m so fat)heehee. But there are ppl really pretend never see me.. so bad!!

 

[BigTummy]

Hihi..

Anyone joining antenatal classes ? Where is good?

 

[luvjoanne]

hi applebreeze, gestational diabetes is quite common. like what the rest says, probably just watch out for your diet, and reduce on sugar/starch intake and it'll go away after your pregnancy. dont worry too much!

i also did my blood test last mth during the OSCAR scan, and result was good. in fact my blood glucose was at the minimum level which i was worried before the test as i've been drinking soft drinks every alternate days (my only craving leh!).

huafen, u can try vivocity. i shopped around few weeks bk and saw there are quite a few maternity shops. =) enjoy shopping! get ur hubby to pay and carry the shopping bags hahaha.

bigtummy, have a gd trip! just be careful of what u consume there in Beijing as our stomach/digestive system tend to be very sensitive nowadays.

i can feel bb's movements already.. its like bubbles or wind in stomach and usually i feel it when i lie down quietly on the bed.. hehe. amazing feeling indeed.

 

[ariesgirl]

Mama_aki > congrats on ur pink! =) gynae told me mine is 99% blueeee.. but i just heard from my colleague she was told it was boy at 4th mth den during detailed scanning, it's a gal. hehe.. for me.. i better play safe before buying.. another 20 more days to my detailed scanning! countdown! hahaa

Hi Bigtummy,

The test to check for gestational diabetes is call OGTT- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. They will make you drink a bottle of really sweet water then take 1 prick there and then. 1 hr later another prick and the 2nd hour last prick. The nlood test i took yesterday includes the test to chekc for down syndrome and other tests like calcium level, iron level, Hep B, HIV and lots more. Cant remember also... Dunno why my gynae ask me to take also... He say necessary so just take lor. Oh and i did take up the antenatal package from his clinic which covers consultation and scanning and till the last visit before birth, cost me $700... I think it's consider cheap... Any mummies here take the package too?

Hello Mummies,
my edd is on 6th april.. gg to be 18 wks.I heard the heartbeat already
Morning sickness comes and go.. always feel like puking.Especially brushing teeth in the morning.Appetite not very gd and sometimes tummy abit cramp.

 

[luvjoanne]

hi mummies, how have u all been? anyone gg for the detailed scan yet? mine will be next saturday and i cant wait for it. been worried for the little one inside me as i can only feel his movements on and off and sometimes not even once a day.
i've got this numbness feeling on my right, at the bottom of my rib cage. i called my gynae and he says it shouldnt be worrying as it's far away from the uterus and should be some sort of muscle ache. i think its probably due to the rib cage expanding to make space for bb?

i feel like an ever-expanding balloon now..
