Hi DJ mama,
ya, guys can only watch and can't do anything. That why I always tell my hubby how I hope he can go thru the same thing as me. lol!
Hi sunkissprissie,
Hello and welcome  I'm not taking any formula milk just taking calcium supplement and fresh milk. But I can only drink chocolate flavour, I can't stand the normal flavour right now.
Hi Mrs Lee,
Saw your name in the FB. I not so active in FB thread, only comment a bit.
Hi princessxiaomei,
my guess is you will give birth earlier than edd since #1 came few days earlier. For my 2 boys, i gave birth abt 10-8 days before edd. For your #1, is it natural birth? Cos #2 will come much faster.
Hi Jasmine Loh,
HELLO! good to see you in here.
Hello to all who just join this thread!
Can't wait to know the gender too on this coming wednesday. My next visit supposed to be thursday but I changed to wed so that hubby and my boys can go together especially for my boys to have their first meet-the-sibling session. Hopefully we could get to see the gender with everyone around |

Hi ladies!
I am new here. I am expecting my #2. EDD supposed to be early Oct but most likely my baby will be out in Sept. I had gestational diabetes for my #1 so 99% i will get it again for this preg. Somemore, I have a borderline case of high BP. sigh. So likely i will get induced after week 35.
Tho i anticipate this is not going to be an easy preg,(my first one was quite easy and smooth but this preg gives me bad morn sickness!)i still feel blessed cos i have always wanted to have another child. I have PCOS so, i needed to go thru medication and jabs before I can concieve. So, this baby is a gift! |

Morning mummies…
Hi sunkissprissie…maybe your gynae did not give you before that due to MS… cuz it’s hard for us to digest… dinner time I still drink soup and ya, sometimes also eat some porridge….other stuff abit scary to take… in case tummy cannot stand it and then puke again…. Slowly slowly…
Headaches… I dunno if drinking more water helps… cuz normally it can be a sign of dehydration… but also need to see how much water our bodies can intake at the point of time…
Jer, so excited for you… hope Wednesday faster comes for you…. Haha…
Fattybombom, I get backaches too… normally by afternoon onwards… and after work, I just want to lie down in my bed… my gynae says its bad posture… so I try to sit and stand straight but erm, abit tough with the tummy…. Just hope it gets better soon….
Jasmine, congrats~ were you hoping for a boy? Update us once you are confirmed ok~
Hi Rachelle, welcome and congrats!
Nice cold and rainy morning to sleep in… but its beginning of a work week…. But a short one tho… wish all mummies a smooth and speedy work week! |

Morning mummies!
Jer : I'm feeling excited for your upcoming checkup..hehe.
Fattybombom : I get the "suan" feeling at times, maybe due to bad posture coz I like to sit with my legs crossed.
Jasmine : Congrats on your lil' prince! I also read that the best posture is to sleep on the left side.But I'm used to sleeping on my back, so still trying to correct my sleeping posture.Subconsiously I will still flip onto my back when sleeping...haha
JEB : hope you can find out your bb gender on next checkup too.Agree on the shopping part.I can't wait too!
Rachelle : Hello and hope your ms will ease soon too!
DJ Mama : Yup, trying to get used to swallowing the fish oil :x
ok, I'll drink more water and see if it helps for the headaches.Been craving for flavor drinks like Ribena over the weekend..haha. |

Hi Jer, 2 packets a week is really discipline! I need a flavored hot drink with my breakfast every morning to replace my coffee and I have been drinking hot honey…. And I drink another one in the office and another one at night with lemon before going to bed… hope I wun kena sugar problems! Plain hot water is really bland… and I have yet to find anything better to replace the honey yet!
After a week of fever and stuffed nose… I am now having runny nose… this thing just seems to go on and on… sigh…I stopped taking meds le… I figured maybe let it go away on its own when I finally totally stop puking and eat a more balanced diet…
I had a pretty ok weekend… finally managed to take my girl out to watch Lorax on Sunday morning… and bought a twin romper set at H&M after that…. But the day went downhill from then… indigestion all day and finally throwing up dinner last night… v v sian… btw mummies Lorax is a really lovely animation… my girl totally enjoyed every minute of it… haha… so nice to see I finally made her happy in so many weeks… |

ow_mummy : I'm 16wks now.Did you manage to find out your bb's gender?I started having flu 2+wks ago and nose don't seem to be clearing at all.cough has reduced now though.
Adelynn : I've read that nosebleeds do tend to occur more often during pregnancy.
*quote*
Pregnancy can cause the blood vessels in your nose to expand, and your increased blood supply puts more pressure on those delicate vessels, causing them to rupture more easily. Although it's unpleasant and inconvenient, an occasional minor nosebleed is generally harmless.
You're especially likely to get a nosebleed when you have a cold, sinus infection, or allergies, or when the membranes inside your nose dry out, as they do in cold weather, air-conditioned rooms, airline cabins, and other dry environments. Trauma and certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure or a clotting disorder, may cause nosebleeds as well.

haha.. i'm not that disciplined la. Just that previously someone told me that too much of ribena is not good. My hubby also very strict this time round because I had a miscarriage late august so he monitor my cold drink and coffee intake, totally no coffee at all. I still indulge in cold fresh soya milk and orange juice almost everyday when hubby is at work but will regret later because of the weird taste that will linger in my mouth. For this pregnancy, my taste bud changed a lot. Many food and drinks that I used to like, now i don't. For example, soft drink and vitasoy, chocolate, ice cream etc. During first tri, I even detested food (maybe due to nausea) to the extend that I asked my hubby is it ok if i dun eat at all.
Adelynn,
I guess because of the hormones, that why nose bleed easily? For me, my gums now bleed easily. |

Cravings: I until now also no cravings, not much appetite too.. Eat like for e sake of eating.. But I gain almost 4kg so far even thou I lost abt 3kg during early stage.. Hope it's not my body gaining lor...
Nose bleed: hmm I did have nose bleed during my 1st pregnancy fr once.. Now when I brush teeth, I realise my gums bleed v easily.. Think it's due to pregnancy bah..
*ow mommy* - Hello hmm I actually had throat itchiness n cough n flu last wk.. I took gynae gave me those medicine but after tt I stop when I'm almost recovering. Then I took pi pa GAO. Now if I Hv dry throat I also tk pi pa GAO.. U can try too...

Morning mummies… I felt BB move last nite… at first I tot it was gas or something… but it happened again for another 2 times…. The exact same feeling… lol… and both times when my girls came to hug me and sit on my lap… hahaha… hope mummies will start to feel the first flutters soon! My gynae told me that second time mummies will be able to feel earlier… anytime from 16 weeks onwards… first time mummies shd be from 20 weeks onwards if I am not wrong…
Yeah… when I had stuffy nose, I had blood in the chunks too… must try to drink more water to ease the heatiness…. And hot honey lemon helps… the lemon also helps with the nausea… and for me, because of my puking, half the time I am running on empty… the warm honey calms my nerves and makes me feel less empty inside…
Jojo… bb so notti dun wanna show gender… haha… hope your next appt can see liaoz~! Dinner time I also struggling still… I just drink soup… not really keen on rice yet… hope it will go away soon for all of us!
Princessxiaomei, your symptoms now really sound like when I had my girl leh… hope your ms will ease off soon… its hard and really can drive us out of our minds… sigh… cannot wait for pregnancy to be over….
Bleeding gums… I had it v bad and then recently I switched to a toothpaste for sensitive gums and teeth and seems like not so much bleeding le… its colgate brand… maybe mummies wanna try it?
I love pipa gao… hehe… it’s great for soothing throat and nice and sweet… hehe
Looks like it’s going to rain heavily again today… I tot its Wednesday this morning when I woke… sigh… turns out its only Tues! 2 more days to a long weekend! |

gd morning mummies~
ow_mummy : wow! u found out bb gender so early! congrats!
DJ Mama : Congrats on feeling the 1st flutters!
Do you mean adding lemon to your hot honey?Or it is bottled honey that comes with added lemon flavor?
rgding nosebleed : I sometimes see blood among my mucus when I blow my nose every morning when I wake up.I wonder if I might had blew my nose too hard at times. But now I started to feel soreness on some of my right side teeth.so I'm trying to book a dental appt to check on them.
rgding appetite : I juz discover a type of lightly salted crackers from marks & spencer, so tdy started to snack on 1 cracker b4 I left home for work, to keep the nausea feeling away.Oh, and I gave in to my craving for ice-cream last nite and had a mini tub of ben & jerry :p |

hi sunkissprissie, I add lemon to my honey... the honey is those normal ones that you can find in supermarkets... and for each mug of hot honey, i squeeze in half a lemon... but you can squeeze lesser if its too sour for you...
As much as I can, I try to take everything home cooked, home brewed... and fresh... |

This morning hubby came back from his night shift and told me he needs to work OT tomorrow. A bit upset about it, I purposely changed the checkup to his off day so that we can bring our 2 boys along and now I have to handle them myself.
jojo,
tomorrow is my turn for check up, hopefully baby open legs, if not I dun know if I can wait one month to find out gender, dun think i can tahan.
DJ Mama,
congrats on the baby movement. I did feel the baby movement earlier as compare to my previous two. Today, instead of just feeling the movement, the movement can be seen from my tummy! Love the feeling of it
slimz,
welcome to this thread When I am pregnant with my boys, I dun have any ms at all but this time round nausea hit me hard. Maybe tonight you try to lays on your bed with head higher and see if you can feel the baby movement. |

Hello mummies,
I'm from the Oct thread. But since my EDD is 2 Oct, baby may wanna come out in Sep. :p
Anyway, Adelynn, I have nosebleed very frequently. It started on my 12th week. And I usually get them in the morning, after I wake up or when I reach office. It takes about 15 mins for them to stop dripping and I always try to get rid of the blood clot cos it's so irritating.
Gynae says it's normal, my parents say it's because I'm too heaty and ask me to take barley water. I don't dare to take barely water cos it feels liang to me, so I've been using nasal spray which does not help too. |

Hi ow_mummy, so fun to feel the flutters right? But I haven’t felt any since last night le… think it will take some time for them to be regular for me…
Slimz, dun worry about… now its still early days, so we may not necessarily feel bb all the time… later on towards the pregnancy gynae will advise us to be more aware and track their movements…
Jer, wah v sian… I also will sian if I were you… he cannot change shift or anything le mah? Sigh. I also not happy if hubby cannot make it for scans de… you can see movements on your tummy means you are quite big le wor… or rather bb is quite big inside le rite… haha… so exciting… I was still thinking maybe need to wait another 2 months before hubby and my girl can see and feel bb inside me…
Jojo… even clear soup also cannot ah… then cham… I dun make my soups with the pork bone de….too oily… I ask the stall for lean meat meant for making soups… how about using sakura chicken to make soup? Remove the skin and fats before putting it to boil… add pumpkin or other types of root vege… maybe easier to stomach? Before I could stomach soup, I sipped hot honey… but I know how shitty it is… I went thru a period when I couldn’t even take water… sigh… only going to hospital for drip helped… jiayou ok… MS faster go away!
Hi reineluv, welcome… I drank abit of barley water before… think shd be ok, as long as you dun drink it excessively… why dun u check with the medicine hall if pregnant ladies can drink?
So sleepy… any mummies still feeling sleepy at work? I still hv got reports and articles to finish… sigh… v tired! |

reineluv : hello! I sometimes will buy crysanthamum or barley drink from medical shops when I feel heaty.but stop short of buying those with herbs.
jojo : is it bcoz of pork smell so u cannot take ur soup?how about chicken base?or try porridge lo.
ow_mummy : there was a newspaper article not long ago that reported there is a shortage of CL this year.so if you intend to engage one, better source early lo. |

Hi vinvola, I most probably have to take my maternity leave around mid Aug, starting with my annual leave... then followed by maternity leave all the way till Jan... cuz Jan-May is peak period for my team, this year due to my severe MS, I was out of action from Jan - Mar... next yr cannot be missing again....so hope bb will come out by early sep... then I have more time with her...wad about you?
Looks like most of us still sleepy... this thing about second trimester being honeymoon trimester hor... not so accurate... sigh... |

Hi mummies!
My EDD is early sept, although I suspect bb might come end Aug lah. This is my #3.
Insurance - I'll be signing up for AXA after my next gynae appt, the good thing about AXA is that they have some coverage for bb after the bbs are born, regardless if they have the congenital conditions listed below... And for some of them, you might not even detect it until after birth, like my #2 (who is perfectly ok now, thankfully!).
pinkypink: wow! you're not crazy.. but maybe your days will be crazy until the oldest one is 2 but after that you will enjoy, instead of spreading out all the hard work like me.. haha.
fattybombom: it's normal to feel movements later, usu around 5 months. this time i felt it earlier, by 16 weeks plus. but then this is already my third time |

Hi fattybombom, think it’s normal la… but sooner or later will start feeling de… just wait for it~
Hi pinkypink, you are steady leh… 09, 11, and now 12… really salute you! How do you handle it?
Jasmine, hv you seen the doc? I was given antibiotics when I had fever and flu and the doc said better to take and cure the sickness early then to let it worsen… I have history or asthma, and can easily get an attack or bronchitis if not careful…. Then the meds that need to take will be worse le… go see doc quickly and rest well! The weather simply sux and does not help…
My girl has been waking up in the night very often lately… I am soooo tired… bad enuff I got to wake up to use the toilet… and then she adds on to it as well… sigh…she seems to be v excited about having a meimei soon… and kisses my tummy every nite and sings to my bump… so I dunno why she is acting this way at night… sigh… |

At the risk of sounding pessimistic, my no1 was v excitied abt no2 too n wd kiss bump etc. But then he became quite aggressive towered his frens in playgrp after she was born n very tantrumy.. Cry for anything! I almost went crazy, cuz I had 2nd csect and no maid no CL n a screaming kid. Also I only sent no1 fr 3 hr playgrp so w two at home it was insane.
But slowly things r better n I hv helpers now. But I'm prepared for both kids to take no3's arrival badly.. Hahha. I think the older they r the more rejected they feel so that y no 2 n 3 r so close. My own logic n experience la.
I can only say that it's super important to make older sibs feel loved and remember that gift from
New baby to korkor/jiejie is very important. |

Hi Mummies... I'm from the August thread. This baby is my #3, and i don't intend to know the gender till deliver
I see some of you are interested in the mum's and baby's insurance, as like the mummies on the aug's thread.
I'm from AXA, so I'm gonna touch on AXA's Mum's Advantage.
in summary:
Mum's advantage comes in 2 products. MumCare (Plus) and INSPIRED FlexiProtector / FlexiSaver
MumCare/MumCare Plus is a 3-year / 6-year single premium term plan that offers coverage for an expectant mother against death and pregnancy complications. it also provides hospital care benefit should the expectant mother gets admitted to hospital due to child birth complications. the coverage also extends to the child for congenital illnesses benefit and hospital care benefit for the child.
INSPIRE is a whole life, regular premium investment-linked plan which allows the flexibility to choose your own insurance cover and premium amount to meet your personal needs.
Under Mum’s Advantage/Mum’s Advantage Plus, the Mother can opt to transfer INSPIRE flexi2 to the life of the child at any time after the child is born*, i.e. life assured becomes the child instead of the mother but the ownership of the INSPIRE flexi2 remains with the mother provided the INSPIRE flexi2 has not lapsed or been terminated at the time of notification to axa life of the transfer.
The coverage:
 
Death benefit for mother expire 30days after delivery.
Pregnancy complications benefit expire upon birth of child.
Hospital care benefit for mother expires 30 days from birth of child.
New
*Gynaecology report is waived for eligiblae nationalities
* available to ladies whose pregnancies are conceived through artificial inseminations
Cost for an average 30yo mummy to be:
For Mum'Care: it's a lump sum of $315
For MumCare Plus, it's $595
For the whole life plan, minimum is $1200/year or $100/month.
Pls feel to chk with me for details.
Right after baby is born, there's also a very important plan to consider:
For Hospital plans, I recommend AVIVA. They have the best coverage (and I can sell them too). I have AVIVA way before i became an insurance agent and they are the greatest.
And also, if both parents are covered under aviva, the kids are covered for free (on plan 2) up to 20years old!! (up to 4 kids).
Therefore, Aviva is a very popular choice for parents with kids. imagine u have 3 kids! how much can u save!!
Aviva hospitalisation plan (MyShield) is payable via Medisave.
This is a link from MOH on available hospital plans. Please do not go and buy those that you need to pay by cash. It's no necessary.
http://www.moh.gov.sg/content/dam/moh_web/Healthcare_Financing/Medishield/Comparison_of_MediShield_and_Private_Integrated_Plans/Comparison%20of%20IPs%20wef%2030%20Jan%202012%20Table%204.pdf
Coverage for aviva is listed on it's application form here:
http://www.aviva.com.sg/pdf/applicationforms/MyShield_MyShield_Plus_Application_Form.pdf
Minimum entry age is 15 days old or the date of discharge from hospital after birth, whichever is later. |

Hey ladies, gone for my check up and gynae said 80% it's a girl
DJ_Mama,
actually i'm ok if my hubby dun go with me because of the nature of his job, most of the time i go check up by myself. This time I want him to be around because i want to bring my boys to meet their sibling so wanted to have an extra hands. lucky, my boys were quite well behaved and all went well *Phew*
pinkypink & Tiffany
really salute and hats off to both of you, 3 children with close age gap, how do you manage? My #1 and #2 are 4 years apart so is #2 and my coming #3. 2 boys with 4 years apart, I already find it hard to handle. |

hi princessxiaomei, when is your next appt? Hopefully you will know gender le... haha...hope it will be a lovely surprise for you!
Jer, are the boys happy that it might be a meimei? Haha... 4 years apart each... wah... also tiring... its like history repeating every quarter of a decade leh... just beginning to enjoy life abit then got to go thru pregnancy, breastfeeding, nappy changes etc etc again... haha... at least thats how I see it la...
You are good leh...your hubby is a lucky guy! I dunno if its just the hormones, or maybe because I suffer thru MS badly, I expect hubby to be there everytime. It's the least he can do for me since he cannot share my suffering! LOL. Evil hor, me... :P
Pinkypink, my #1 is now 3 yrs old... v talkative... I dun think she ever stops talking... she talks herself to sleep at night...and starts talking the moment she wakes... she is quite a shopping queen too...although I have to admit I must have been a heavy influence on her for that... kekeke...
You are taking the kids to Europe on your own? Wow... have fun and I hope they behave everyday for your sake! It's not easy chugging 2 kids to Europe and to so many cities too!
Looks like soon we can start a chart to update bb gender for all mummies le... haha... so exciting!
Last day of the work week today... hope everyone have a short and sweet work day today! |

Pinkypink,
Wow, you gonna travel to quite a number of place. Have fun and shop more when you are travelling
princessxiaomei,
yes extremely happy. Everyone in the family is happy especially my in laws cos they got 3 boys so now they finally got chance to buy baby gal stuffs.
DJ Mama,
my #1 is very very happy, he can't stop smiling. he kept saying he want mei mei cos he dun want another naughty didi. As for #2, he couldn't accept that it's meimei initially, kept saying "doctor is wrong! it's not meimei, baby is a didi! It's a boy" haha... but he's better today, accepted the fact that it's gonna be meimei. True it's like the cycle of taking care baby repeats but not so bad because the older kid can help out. I would said my #1 is a very helpful and caring boy, he help me a lot in taking care of his younger brother, much better than my hubby. There is a chart in facebook but not updated. Do you want to create one for the forum? Since not all ppl in facebook group chat in forum.
ow_mummy,
thank you |

you are so brave to bring them all on holiday! but i'm sure they will all enjoy themselves. they're lucky to have a mummy like you. my #2 who is coming to 2YO is very strong, heavy, and strong willed, so he's quite a handful - even bringing him to NTUC i have to carry him most of the way otherwise we will NEVER get there! so I'm reluctant to bring them all on holiday... |

Hello mummies~
Fyi, metro having infant fair now til 15 April.
I'm thinking whether to start buying stuff like stroller, cot etc.is it too early?
For experienced mummies, any recommendations or advice in selecting stroller and cot? |

sunkissprissie,
if you have storage area then you can buy first. For me I will be buying around July or August where Taka baby fair will be on cos storage area is one problem, another thing is i dun want to collect dust. For cot, i will advice to buy the converter playpen whereby it can be use as cot and playpen because its easy to keep if not using anymore and not all baby will like sleeping in a cot so if baby happen to be one that dun like to sleep in cot then still can use as playpen. As for stroller, really depends on your preference. If you buy those that can be used from newborn, the pram will be heavy and bulky. If you buy the lighter ones, normally its for 3 or 6 months up. For first 6 months, I prefer using a sling than stroller cos hands free and dun need to bring out stroller. Personally I like Maclaren and combi. Do look around and test the stroller for the weight, whether is it steady, if closing and opening is easy etc before making your decision cos it's not cheap.
Fattybombom,
actually hubby was planning to go Taiwan this year too but since a baby coming along, plan gonna shift to next year. Wanted to go Taiwan for so long, still didn't get a chance to. Envy you can go twice a year. |

Stroller: Prefer to sling baby till 6mths, for strollers (after 6mths) i personally prefer maclaren quest is gd enough, weigh 5.5kg (if i nv rmb wrgly) not too heavy,yet steady, easy to use. |

Hope all mums are enjoying the long weekend!!
I'm a lazy mum n try to train my kids to sit in stroller, sleep in cot etc. plus I never learnt how to sling baby, I prefer carriers. I like combi strollers n quinnys which can attach the infant car seat. I used to hv a peg perego but found that my boy's posture was not ideal in that so sold it off. |

Hello ladies, have been rather busy lately and was reading the forum without posting.
Speaking about carrier, I luv manduca!! it's the best! I regretted not buyng earlier. When I brought my boy to HK when he was 1 yr, i had him slinged inside and he was able to zzz for 2 hours without waking while I carry him and shop ard HK without any strains! Best part, when he was about 2 yr, we went to Perth and same thing. I slinged him and he slept inside for 3 hours this time without waking too. Same thing, there wasn;t strain on me at all. My boy was almost 11 kg when he was 2 yr. So Manduca is really the best carrier I;ve tried so far. I got mine from this shop at Square 2. Can go check it out!

I also had a combi stroller but I dun like it either cos the inclinaton is somewhat not ideal. My boy doesn;t look comfy at all. We use it only when he wants to zzz or use it to put my shopping bags etc. haha. |
