Hi MTB, i went for my oscar scan this late afternnon! Scan took me just 10mins cos baby is in sleeping position.. Then the sonographer purposely pressed down my adominal abit n baby moves his/her hands n legs.. so touched to see baby grow well.. get to see baby's brain, heart, nasal bone, skin thickness, hands & legs.. The consultant commented baby is growing fine.. Now just have to wait for blood test results n hear from gynae..

JA13! Nice! Great that baby cooperated!!

ST Woo, all the best for your OSCARS tomorrow! Have a gd rest and try to drink some water to keep bladder 3/4 full for a clearer scan! Hope you get an experienced nurse to take blood! My hubby couldn't accompany me into the room to take the blood test.. :p so i braved i out myself.. told the nurse pls only do it on 1st try.. :/ heng she did ..

Oh ya, stretch mark cream or oil use or don't use , will still get stretchmarks one.. they say if ur mum had, most likely you'll get it too.. genetics? I used Bio-oil religiously, applied generously every morning and night in my 1st pregnancy.. in the end by 3rd trimester still kenna bad bad stretchmarks like tiget stripes at lower abdomen..red red ones at the sides.. after delivery i did not use the oil as breastfeeding very oily and afraid baby sensitive to the oil.. Got silver n greyish lines now.. earned the stripes of motherhood.. :/ boohoo.. i haven't started applying the bio oil yet.. costs ard $15.50 per bottle .. orange words on white box one.. not much scent.. after absorbed into skin, not v oily.. took it as a massage .. Sigh shld i use again this time? actually apply moisturiser or oil can help when skin is stretching, to prevent itchiness.. but my skin stretched too fast, not elastic enough i guess.. :p Now got alot of loose skin and space to stretch still lol!


Oh ya i enjoyed my buffet! Wah 1st time eat like mad till full full after all the 1st trimester of gagging n vomitting! I scared later i bloat! I ate some salmon sashimi.. tasted like heaven lol.. but drank hot water to flush down haha.. hope everything is fine! Ate some lobsters and crabs too.. hubby peeled like a drumstick for me loh! :p Ate n ate the desserts, fruits, fondue, etc.. but gagged abit at the baked salmon.. zzz fishy fishy.. :x My baby 1st time ate 2 soft buns! Hehe! Just drank vitagen, hope digestion goes well! ;p wah my friend tell me 2nd pregnancy i really everything also dare to eat liao.. :p but in moderation..

Lingz12, my bb also has some eczema.. hmm can it be related? But i do have some sensitive skin and eczema too.. maybe passed on to her.. :p poor baby has some runny mucus and got rashes around her neck and back now.. everytime sick also flare up.. :p scratch like mad..

Lingz12, yes! My gynea is Joyclyn Wong too n she said the same thing to me during my first pregnancy.

ST Woo, I think the rosehip smell is very mild n nice. I heard Bio Oil is good too. The more ex range will be Claims.

Hmm... But maybe our mum got stretch marks because they dun apply oil? Haha... I think prevent better thn cure n stretch marks v difficult to cure...

Meltie! The buffet sounds realli yummy! yeah, I guess 2nd pregnancy we realli dare to eat more things and do more things.. haha.. last time for first pregnancy I everything oso dun dare eat.. now I jus tink aiya eat a bit bit onli, should be ok right? I totally avoid caffeine for my first pregnancy but my bb still came out small.. so this round I abit heck care.. as long as I dun take more than 1 cup per day.. hehe.. I oso heard from my colleague who said with ur first kid, wen e pacifier drop on the floor, u will wash with detergent and sterilise before popping back into bb mouth.. with ur second kid, u will jus pick it up, put it under running tap and pop it back into bb mouth.. with ur third kid, u will jus pick it up, blow off the dirt and pop it back into bb mouth.. I was so tickled by it!

the no eating crab theory is suppose to be a old wives tales. they claim that baby born will touch this and that, like many hands. haha i dont believe and i ate so many times in my first preg. guess what, it really freaks me out and this time i am not going to touch any crab for in case:)

my first is really very active which is common for boys, but he basically see and take and touch throw things ard him. he is very curious. well, ppl will say kids are like that, haha, but the kids in my bigbig family so far still ok, average, but mine is super active boy. faint...

jojosnake, some people believe if by 12 weeks ms still bad, the next cycle to see light will be 16 weeks, dont know how true. i am also waiting for the day i do not need to "donate" to toilet bowl. so scare of eating nowadays. because dont know which food will trigger the worst.

my oscar test will be tomorrow as well, hope bb will be co operative.

Hi meltie, I have done my OSCAR test. At first, my baby facing down in a very comfortable position. We tried to move her but no use then I was ask to eat something and try again and really my baby became very cooperative. They are very professional. The person who draw the blood very skillful not painful at all. The result will send to my gynecologist next few days.+_+
I went to SaSa to check the Palmer's rosemary oil about $41 and Bio oil 60ml $15.50 the price diff so much. the salesperson said because Palmer is more branded... Haha..anyway I bought the Bio oil to try.

Tannie, I did try out the Palmer rosehip oil. The scent quite light not bad may try it later. I bought the Bio oil instead cos no scent. I still cannot stand any scent now...sigh (・へ・)
