Kuririn, I don't have the red dots nor feel itchy. I just apply the stretch mark cream faithfully lor. Dunna those stretch marks to appear.....But i do realise that there seems to be more fine hairs coming out leh. Tummy area and also the breast. Anyone of you also like that?

Adel:
So far, recommended brands are Palmer, Elancyl and Clarins (ranked from lowest to highest price). All 3 are safe to use during pregnancy. I'm using Elancyl now, its non-greasy & smells nice. My gynae told me all creams won't work, should exercise more instead but I'm not taking any chances..
Its normal to still have MS but it should get better, some women after 12th wk, some after 16th wk, it depends..If ur MS is still very bad, take the anti-nausea pill prescribed by ur gynae (but may make u drowsy)
I can fully understand how u feel. Due to my terrible MS (I can't even keep liquids down, not to even mention food), I had mild depression during 8th to 12th weeks & had no mood to do anything. Kept thinking then whether it was worth to go thru so much suffering to have a bb. I'm glad I have gotten over the worst of it and feeling much better now.. Still feel nauseous now and then, but at least it's tolerable now..
So dun worry too much ok, I'm sure u'll also get better soon..meanwhile take light, frequent meals (digestive biscuits helps) and try not to be unhappy coz it'll affect bb..
Fresia:
I've read a pregnancy guide book that it is normal that some preggies experience hair growth in those areas due to hormonal change, should disappear after bb's birth.
So dun worry..

i'm using clarins...it's oil based but is not too greasy...
kuririn, i think airport doesn't have this particular oil for preggies. the last time i came back from shanghai, i was happily looking for it at airport but they don't carry it loh...maybe you can ask your sis to try again...
fresia: i think i also have a little more hair on my stomach..kekkeee...so weird...

hi girls..
haven't come to this thread for a long time and oh mine! it has grown! how's everybody? i suppose most of us are in our 2nd trimester now yah and hopefully less of the MS.
now into my 17th week. currently on bedrest for 2 weeks coz gynae detected low amniotic fluid in my last visit. now keeping my fingers crossed that the fluid level will be restored when i go back to gynae next week for follow-up..

wah. you all are very diligent in applying the stretchmark cream hor! i'm so lazy, only apply it occassionally, and only on the tummy area. better be more diligent if not next time will regret.
how big are all your tummies now?.. my tummy still like more fat than pregnant leh.

Hi SusanY and Bellybutton,
I don't think the tummy will look too pregnant now. Prob have to wait for 4mths plus to 5mths, then can see a bit lor. Now I think we just look bloated and out-of-shape.

I only wear maternity bottoms cos more comfortable. Plus I have outgrown all my bottoms - the skirts are riding up and all my bulges are spilling out. Kinda unsightly, man! Tops, I'm wearing normal ones just one or two sizes bigger. But it's difficult to get bigger size tops that look smart. I tried those sleeves-less shirts and the armholes are gigantic. So have to settle on those with sleeves.
Think we'll look silly wearing maternity tops at this moment.
Are you one of those fortunate ones that can still wear your normal clothings?

Hi kuririn,
At least u can still wear your tops. I couldn't wear most of them. The buttons are bursting at the bust area.
Those without buttons types are either body-hugging or the length is too short to go with the maternity bottoms. Had to spend $$ to get some tops - really wasteful! Running out of clothes to wear to office now.
Hi breakbeats,
Do u mean u have started wearing the maternity tops? If yes, isn't it good? At least can wear them longer and the money will be well-spent.
Hi Adel,
Nice to see u here too!
Know u are the petite kind. Really didn't expect u to be so petite - only size 3. That's really "jiao xiao ling long" man!
Other than rashes, what other adverse effects are there? U are making me paranoid liao. Just bought the cream but haven't used yet.
Your "ah ma" really very cute, hor? Can get used to such things, meh?

SSL,
I called them up b4...the lady quoted me $1650 + $200 (levy); based on 1st child, hubby & I only, no pets. However, there is mixed review under the thread mentioned by poshbb.
Called up another agent which quoted me $1600 (excluding levy). Didn't sound as professional tho'. Think best to get through friend's recommendation, before resorting to agencies.

Missysunflower, I'm always at the 'L' size onwards range, err .. till now, I'm still squeezing into my normal clothes and for office pants, I'll zip it halfway and cover with my blouse, though I feel tighter due to the expansion on my upper torso and pelvis area.
I've informed my colleagues regarless male or female as soon as i discovered about my pregnancy, so that they can be extra careful and understand me, ha ha an excuse to them ..

morning gals!
i am wearing maternity tops now but bottoms still wearing normal ones because I dun want ppl to see my bulging tummy and think I am fat.
talking about fat I am very pissed with my female colleagues leh they told me with their smug face as I grow fatter they will become slimmer since they are joining some aerobics classes now.
whey! how crude can these ppl be!! before I pregnant I was slimmer than them I also never say they are plump and short mah!
what's wrong with them especially they are pregnant before leh!

Ladies, I checked out one yoga place specially for us pregnant women:
Yoga is excellent to practice while you are pregnant because it strengthens all the muscles of the body, especially those around the pelvic floor and abdomen, giving support for the growing baby and also for the lower back. Like all strengthening exercises, the sooner you begin, the greater the benefit. However, for safety reasons, we only accept ladies after they are 12 weeks pregnant, but you can continue right up until the baby is born because some exercises are great at relieving discomfort during labour.
We offer a package of 8 classes for $175, and you can come to any of the classes on offer and if you have your baby before you have completed the package you can continue with our post natal classes. The times of our classes are as follows:
PRENATAL YOGA
Tuesday morning 10.00am 11.15am
Thursday Evening 7.00pm 8.15pm
Friday morning 10.00am - 11.15am
POSTNATAL YOGA
Tuesday morning 11.30am-12.45pm (with baby)
Thursday evenings 7.00pm 8.15pm (to be held with prenatal ladies no babies!)
