Morning mummies 
(2014/01) January 2014
- Thread starter jt_junior
- Start date
middle most of the time. More of a thumping but there's no rhythm to it that's why i thought it's the baby's movement. So i observe if there's sort of a pattern to the thumping, if there is, then i will think that it's just a nerve. I'm not sure if it's just me because I really wanted to start feeling the baby just to know she's alright.
Welcome netzz!
I started to feel clear baby's movement in the beginning of 18 weeks. It's like someone knocking on my tummy wall, and the movement can be anywhere around the abdomen area, above/below/left/right of the belly button, haha... Also I feel the movement most when I'm lying down on my back

Hi chiching, how many weeks along are you now? You are not alone, I also need baby's movements to give me assurance that she's doing good and happy in my womb

I will be 19 weeks tomorrow. My detailed scan will be next week so I'm really anxious about it and excited at the same time. I always talk to my baby that I don't mind if she starts moving. I guess she heard me last Friday and started knocking, i was just surprised because suddenly there's some sort of knocking in my tummy wall. As this is my first pregnancy, i really don't know what it feels like, so sometimes i'm skeptical if it's just a nerve or it's really her knocking...hahaha

Mummies, am going for my detailed scan tomorrow! Am really excited about it too, cos I get to see bb again. This time i get to see bb 3 weeks in a row, since my regular gynae appt was last week, detailed scan tmr and then gynae want to see me again a week after the scan to discuss the results.
Can I check how much weight I should have put on at this stage? I put on about 4.5-5kg liao. Dunno whether that's in the normal range since bb still got a lot of growing to do, and there's still half the pregnancy left!! Trying not to put on too much, later hard to lose

She said for singaporean women is common because of our diet...jap women mostly eat steamed food, not oily and fattening....according to my height and weight..i should only gain 12kg total.......but lets see...because im hungry too! cannot control....

Hi mummies,
Back from a week of silence, took a break and went on a road trip to Malaysia. Felt good to be out f the house but now back I'm back to my old ways of lazing around haha.
So nice to hear that so many mummies are going for their FA scans....exciting! Another two weeks to go for mine but seeing doc tomorrow so also cannot wait to see baby after 3 weeks!
Oh Gbob, started with your posting of the white fungus and later the other girls, made me went to make mine too! Slurp! Haha this is getting infectious! Must share more nice appetising food!
I had slight diarrhoea, is there any meds that we can take to control ah?

Chiching, you are one lucky gal! Have birdsnest made for you...envy after my white fungus will make the birdsnest. Had some at around 12/13 weeks but the taste bud is still off and still don't taste good. Don't know when my taste bud is going to be more normal. All food still taste differently from what is used to be. Any gals still experiencing this?

She's passing her some of old clothes to me, but the style is a little bit old. No choice but to accept and wear once. She doesn't like me wearing my stretchable body hugging dresses where my baby bump is obvious, she thought i didn't buy dresses, i said i did buy, i just like my stretchable dresses because it's showing my baby bump.
yup, that's why i feel guilty when i don't finish it...it turned out that i just need to cool it down for me to be able to handle the taste...hahahaha. My taste bud is still changing...and I'm still picky with food and becomes cranky sometimes when htb force me to eat something that I'm not in the mood to eatChiching, you are one lucky gal!

On maternity clothes, my bump is not really obvious except maybe when I am super bloated with air. Anyway I drag out all my old maternity clothes to wear. Haha my hb and mom commented say don't see anything yet but just look a bit fat. I rather try to look preggy than be fat looking in my normal clothes haha...vain mummy.
Hi mummies! I am super new to this forum and this thread. So helpful to have found this page since I am a first time mummy!
My EDD is 3 Jan 2013 but my tummy is still so small. Scan showed a bb gal *yay* but I may also be having a small fibroid which doc worries may hinder the bb frm coming out *boohoo*. Wonder if any mummies here have had that experience?
Ylyn: Anw, am also looking for nice lobang for yoga too to keep healthy. My workplace has stopped their yoga classes n not sure when they will resume! let us know how your yoga at that place goes.

Joy, I follow recipe one leh.. Lolx... Just cook the pasta the traditional way ie. boil water add salt n oil then throw in pasta cook till soft (ard 8mins). Use butter as oil, stir fry white onion, garlic, button mushroom, ham or bacon, cherry tomatoes (any other ingredients u like to eat), add little bit white wine, little bit chicken stock, dash of black pepper, then when all soft Liao, just throw in the pasta, add in a few scoops of the carbonara pasta sauce (I use leggo brand), add some water if u don't like it too creamy... Then sprinkle parsley n bacon bits (I ran out of bacon bits so I use bak gwa instead) wahahaha....

never thought of it as being brave.....just love children, have always love them but opportunity never came. Tried tried but never got pregnant even without protection!
It really only happened when I started slowing down on the work that I was doing, starting getting healthier and partying less and stopped smoking! my work used to require a lot of traveling, entertaining etc and so I think I've put my body through quite a bit of stress with all the smoke and alcohol back then! After slowing down and changing jobs and less entertainment to almost nil entertainment, drinking slowed down, quit smoking for 5 yrs and after a lot of supplements, before had chance for #2.

I was told that weight increase throughout the whole pregnancy to around 12 to 17 Kg is averagely healthy for maybe Asians? IT depends on our BMI I think....Good luck with your detailed scan!hehe i have also gained around 5kg total, appetite is really huge now ! do update us on your detailed scan experience, im having mine next week

have anyone made you feel so shitty that you wish they have kept their mouth shut and you never met up with them? Arrghh....I havent announced my pregnancy to any of my relatives yet but one day, met my cousin, who came up to me from behind, poked my tummy and commented "WHAT IS THIS?" gave me a crazy look while walking away and then said "YOU STILL WANT ANOTHER ONE?"....
Gosh!!! That really threw me off my feet and annoyed the hell out of me. It kinda hurt too when people are so insensitive and tackless! Some more a close cousin! I felt like screaming at her and saying "yes of course I want another one and a congratulations would be nice!".....arrghh....I cant get that scenario out of my mind, left such a bad taste....grrrr

good morning all...
I know exactly how u feel. I have all these sickening people coming up to me (when I was ttc) and kept asking when's your turn, when's your turn. I don't know if they are just plain dumb or what. One was my ex colleague who has a very irritating way of asking things, and talking. and I was thinking, if everytime u ask me, and i tell you the same thing, won't it be obvious enough to just shut up and not ask?! and another one was my cousin's husband. so proud that his wife is pregnant, also keep telling my hubby... you must work harder. don't all these people know that sometimes people are just trying and without any luck?! I got so fed up, when one day my cousin asked me nicely, i just told her we are having problems. the next time we met up, the husband just shut up. and as for my colleague, I really dread meeting up with her (in a group. I'd never meet her alone). until now, my ex colleagues doesn't know i'm expecting.
That was before I found out i was pregnant. When i did... This guy, was so insensitive... he went "so corinne... I heard that wayne finally got it into the right hole. I hope it's not Jame's".... I'm like WTF? James is this mutual friend that works nearby where i work, so we have lunch together like once a week. and yes. those were his exact words. Even if he's joking, I don't think it's funny. and even if that's the way he always talks, he should know better than to pass comments such as these in such situations. It is just plain rude, insensitive and just shows how immature he is. I got caught off guard, and by the time i had a reply for him, it was a few days later, which is pointless to retort back. I am still very affected by his comments lor. Just hope that his girl will have respect from the guys around her when she grows up, and just hope that his boy will give girls their due respect. But looking at how he's behaving or how he speaks to people, i highly doubt so.

Honestly, sometimes pple duno that less is more and if you can't find anyting nice to say, just shut up. Especially kaypo relatives who juz wanna gossip. Really cannot stand.
Oreo, tt's terrible! Either he got a terrible sense of humour or super low EQ. I suspect it's both. Hahahaha....

Hi mummies, I went to my TCM yest, summarizing what she says.....
1) No dang gui, ren sheng and pineapples coz may cause contraction of womb
2) Occasionally drink pao sheng can (1 wk once) . Side effect is tt will b baby is very active and keeps bouncing n kicking as supposed to ti shen and make u feel awake. But she says actually no need.
3) Yang shen is cooling so not suitable for preggers.
4) Bird's nest is good to take once a wk frm wk 22 onwards. Best is boiled with cane sugar. (frm sugarcane) or juz rock sugar. I asked abt the ready made ones. She said it's not as gd but also can. Coz they mix alot of impurities in. Pure unbleached ones tt u cook at hm better.
5) No white fungus. I was shocked! but she said will cause 'hua2 tai1' , lost of bb I gather. So she really emphasise dun take althou the whole world is taking. She said in place of it, actually coconut meat is better. U scrap the meat (heaty) plus a bit only of coconut water to eat, good for baby. The coconut water hubby can drink she says as it's cooling.
Hmmm, I hope it helps. Anyting u all need clarification, juz ask k. Hav a great day!
