Hey Millie,
Actually, I didn't realize until sometime back that not many gynaes are as u put it, "pro-natural" ie they prefer to perform an episiotomy. I thought they'd be more keen to NOT do one since it means they don't have to stitch their patient up AND it means the patient has a much shorter recovery time! ... I am very lucky that my gynae is pro natural then!!
I think I'm more afraid of having the epidural .. the thought of a needle being inserted into my back gives me the shivers .. lol .. and a c-sect too .. I think that's why I choose the au naturel way .. !
It's not really THAT painful .. the pain comes with the contractions .. especially the last few as the baby is pushed down the birth canal .. but it is a very SHORT few contractions then you only have to push the baby's head OUT of you ... and if done properly, you won't tear ... u MUST listen to your doc's instructions as to when to push and how much to push and when to stop .. EVEN though you feel like just pushing the baby out at one go .. which will probably result in tearing ...
I haven't seen my gynae yet ... going next Tues ... I should be around 8 weeks by then .. will update once I've gone for my appt.

Hi Ladies
I just went for my scan and we saw the fetus and the fetal heartbeating at 160bpm! It is really an amazing sigh and both my HB and I could not stop smiling.
The baby measure 13.7mm and according to the scan my EDD is now 26Nov instead of 02Dec!!!!
Will be seeing her in 2 wks and she will go thru with us the test that I'll have to go for

hi jowinbaby,
phew that's a relief! Make sure you rest well!
LuthAdel,
wow .. that's awesome .. I can't wait to see my gynae next week too so she can do the scan ...
Shirley Ang,
I think it's just a precaution - u don't want to put added pressure on your lower tummy and back at this point in time .. try not to squat or carry heavy objects.

Jowinbaby.. take care of yourself ok.. and dont worry too much.. you and baby will be fine..
wah.. most of you know the size of your baby or see the baby's heartbeat liao.. so envious.. hehe.. i must be more patient ba.
i think cut hair can.. but a friend told me to cut when there is no one doing chemical processes or go to those $10 shop where there are no chemicals being used.. i think its coz of the fumes and chemicals..

Welcome all new mummies
2nd Baby
Yah, now my EDD is 26Nov, We still cannot get used to the new date as we've sort of getting the idea that it should be Dec. Anyway, the earlier the better so that we can have a wonder Christmas with our little one
It was really so amazing to see the heart beating on the screen and the sound is just so awesome! We can't wait for the next appointment so that we could see our BB again
Jowinbaby,
Take care of yourself and don't worry too much. I've heard of people who bled until they gave birth and the baby is normal and healthy.
Shirley,
I think all these are tradition that are passed without much explanation. I was told not to squat, change the bedsheet or move the bed, not to sew on my bed, etcc....

Jowinbaby: Take care
Mommies going on Busines trip: Take care. DO let your bosses knows that you are pregnant. In case anything happenens, company insurance can cover you. When it comes to travelling no pantang, not a game. Be sure you are covered. MOM will not cover if it not announced also.

morning mummies,
thanks for the wishes.
jowinbaby,
do take care ya. When i was carrying my 1st child, i had the same experience during my 1st tri. I was bleeding as well and kena jab and was put on bed rest for 2 weeks. I was SO weak tht time and I lost 4 kg on the 1st tri.
I couldnt keep any food/water for the 1st tri and I was pukiong 24/7. But at 4th months, suddenly I woke up feeling fresh, good n no puking. Hahahaa...so hang in there. even though I still have phobia on the experience, but it didnt deter me from having 2nd child. Cos when u are finally able to hold the little one in ur arms..all the suffering just vanished

Hi paulyn

BTW for ladies going overseas, need to take very good care. I experienced cramp on the plane while on the way back from my trip. Though i only suspect i am pregnant at that time. Perhaps you wan to ask your gynae if there are any med such as duphaston for you to bring along? Its the An Tai med.
Take care

Hi Fabbie, me have the same problems as you too! But I worse off, me haven't visited the toilet for big one for 2 days! *sob sob* Still thinking if I should drink a cup of fresh milk (tat gave me runny stomach), now my stomach looks big & bloated...
I also have to wakie in the night to go toilet (urgent). There was one night I went 3 times! Cause I hv habit of drinking water aft toilet... Today, I couldn't go back to zzz land aft waking for toilet.
Anyway, it's a good sign! I read from a book that if your uterus is growing well, it will push against your bladder hence the feeling of wanting to go toilet.

well, I was told not to change the sheets myself "pantang" that the baby will be affected etc.. So now, my husband will change the sheet and I'll go down for a walk. I rather follow than to regret if anything happen than I kanna blamed. Best is to get someone to do it for you.
Oh yah hor, Fabbie now my EDD earlier than yours! hahaha

feeling so so sleepy at work now.. nothing much to do to keep awake...so bloated after lunch.. ZZzzzz... finally its friday today!! woohoo..
i went to modern maternity yesterday and bought pair of pants.. they are having discount now. nice for work. material is soft and comfy too. if i were to wear it now, the gathers behind not so nice.. must wear with longer top. my pants are all getting very tight and its hard to breathe after lunch and dinner.. you gals??

re : changing bedsheets
heard that pantang before but i still change bedsheets myself since bb#1 only cos my bed the type that does not require me to lift up the mattress.
re : constipation
i have opposite problem...lotsa runny stools. sometimes can go 2 or 3 times in a day. not worried cos 1st pregnancy also no constipation throughout. dr adrian adviced no dairy at all so did not drink milk throughout my preganacy. can only drink hi-cal soya milk. maybe that's why my dd still don't have a complete set of teeth at 21mths...did not give her enough calcium.
phylicia
think i must start wearing maternity pants also cos stomach gets very bloated like 5mths pregnant towards the evening due to gas. every time must unbutton my pants on the way home from work if not too tight.

Hi all,
Sorry to interrupt. I'm from the March 2008 MTB. Am clearing my cupboard and I have anti-stretchmark cream to give away - Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action (200g). Have used only a small bit of it and I would like to give away for free.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like it. Self collect at my home which is 10 mins walk from Kembangan MRT. First come first served. Thanks.

Hey Luthadel:
thanks for your concerns. I have been indeed very busy at work and really tired! The night nause is kicking in. Retching away plus bloatedness lor!
Nov is also a nice month!! Sweet november!! In fact that's the month of my hubby's birthday!
Fabbie: I also very irritated with the constipation thingy. So I keep taking vitagen or prune juice. Seems to work.
Jac: I am also at NUH. Which doctor are you with? How come see MO? I thought you have private entitlement? BTW, which clinic are you seeing?

Thanks Fong. I'll try it out tmr. : )
With regard to some pan-tangs, I didn't know about the change bedsheet thingy too. But my mum did give me a few words of caution (more pan-tangs for us MTBs... belive it or not:
- No hammering /renovation in the house;
- No shifting of furniture in the house (esp your bed);
- Try not to cut up a whole chicken on your own (get the market uncle to do it).
My mum also told me not to exert too much strength during the first trimester, since I have spotting.

hey merydith ..
don't worry, your appetite will pick up. Mine isn't that great either .. and I just feel ill at the sight of VEGGIES. *puke*
It will pass once the 1st trimester is over .. then you can stuff yourself with piles of healthy food. For my previous 3 pregnancies, I had such awful nausea that I lose about 8 kg in the 1st trimester ... but each time, my gynae says it's ok .. our bodies have reserves ...
this evening I felt like having nasi lemak for dinner ... so dragged my hubby out to eat. poor man so tired .. that I had to drive ... hahaha.
