[nee]

how come still need to go for another test? U mean by GP or gynae is it?

ya now very quiet, but usually very active before lunch.

 

[bluberi]

normally the thread takes time to warm up ba..

 

[catechins]

what kind of breakfast do u take?

this morning.. i took BK $2 burger, there is only egg and cheese.. which is warm and suits me very well.

I like porridge too, but sometimes too troublesome to buy and i dun waste the food.. so in the end very filling for me..

Other sandwiches are too cold for me..

if i take fried beehoon.. i will be very bloated too..

but light breakfast.. like cereal etc.. dun agree with me..

What other breakfast do u take?

 

[lovelytulips]

neeciel, EDD should be ard 10 June but i think need to re-confirm when i go scan again 2 weeks later.

forgot to ask abt the package and delivery charges. faintz.

btw, can we continue to do mani/pedi??

 

[nee]

lovelytulips, i dun think Dr Chan will change ur EDD, i know that every scan ur EDD will be a different date but will still stick to the initial one, wont change as the foetus grow.

Read the folliwng link, ingredient to avoid during pregnancy.

http://www.natural-living-for-women.com/avoid-during-pregnancy.html

catechins, ur breakfast is full of varieties, i alw eat bao in the morning until i sian already.

 

[lovelytulips]

i guess EDD will be around that few dates la.... unless it shows that ovulation was late, not according to what was assumed etc.

my brekfast is most of the time 1 pc of bread and milk. by mid morning, i'll be munching on meiji crackers already.

 

[violac]

lovelytulips, with mani/pedi.... i'd be more concern with the level of sterilization the manicurist practises. any activity that might possibly expose blood (surgery, dental whatever), i'd pay caution 'cos you don't want to end up introducing disease/contamination through blood. at least we know doctors and dentists are sterile, that makes it okay.

 

[amk_gal]

cerika, i haven't seen the gynae yet. it'll be my first time seeing her on 23 oct. not at private suite leh. heard it's a much shorter wait, but i'll try clinic b first. if can save some money save lo..

my husband just said he cannot go with me. =(

 

[vernie]

looks like mummies here are taking Anmum, etc....my gynae ask me not to take though...so i am not taking anything yet...

that was last week when i was 5 weeks....wonder why? Will ask him again when i see him next week...

 

[innocentwar]

eh... i'm not taking Anmum, cos i hate powder milk. Powder milk make me want to puke even when not preggie. In fact i usually dun drink milk. But now for the sake of the little one, so currently drinking HL milk instead, chocolate and strawberry favour, taste a lot more yummy.

 

[oscarsem]

u can take milk any time but I like Anmum and Enfamama milk powder. I think both milk should be more about the same. Drinking milk does help abit in my breastfeeding. Milk feeds milk. haha

They taste nice and not so strong. Friso is quite sweet. Try to ask for sample first to try the taste if not waste of money.
As long u drink milk to replace calcium and iron, i think any milk should be fine.

 

[kendrick_kwa]

morng all

neeciel,

cos m hving faint line, not so sure whether really preggy or not.

 

[shelisa]

Hi Ladies,

good morning. ytd i tried Anmum chocolate flavour milk. Ehhmmm, the taste to me is more like packet chocolate milk more then those smelly milk smell.

thanks neeciel, more or less understand wat it means. 25th oct im visiting the gynae 2nd time again. hope everything goes well.

Can check with any mtb or mommy here. Any one intend to go Mount Alvernia to give birth or doc is from Mount Alvernia??

 

[innocentwar]

hi potato, how many days now since your LMP? maybe it's still a bit early and hcg hormones level still not tat high. try a few days later again, it should get darker. if by then, still same faint line, maybe you can go to gynae for blood test.

 

[kendrick_kwa]

Hi innocentwar,

my af supposed to come yday.

nw can only wait lor, cos HCG will only increase every 72 - 96 hours to double

 

[lovelytulips]

hi bbpotato, if your AF is normally quite accurate, then u can try maybe during the weekends.....

 

[shelisa]

congrate bbpotato

 

[amk_gal]

hi ladies

i have a bit of pressure at the pubic bone.. anyone feel the same?? today start to have a bit of nausea le... and very tired in the morning cannot wake up...

 

[kendrick_kwa]

Lovelytulips,

usually quite accurate, cos I do charting with OPK.



Thanks Shelisa

 

[shelisa]

amk gal,

sorry what do you means by pressure at the public bone?

 

[vernie]

hi shelisa,

i intend to give birth at Mt Alvernia...gynae not from Mt A but he does delivery there...

 

[nee]

bbPotato, i had very faint line too when i tested at week 4. Gynae says just conceived that why HCG level not high, hence faint line. You confirmed pregnant lah =)

 

[shelisa]

Hi vernie,
so u check the price already for the hospital?

Dear all mommy,
can anyone explain how ur gynae charge u? As im 1st timer also alot of price is base on the gynae nurse tell me. I would like to know ur gynae charge u how much for delivery and how much the hospital maternity room?

thanks

 

[amk_gal]

Shelisa, i mean i feel like something is pressing on my pubic bone... it has subsided already though..

 

[shelisa]

ohh amk gal that good. sorry as i didnt encounter that before so cannot help.

 

[vernie]

Shelisa, you can check Mt A website:

http://www.mtalvernia-hospital.org/hbs_maternity.html

My gynae charges me $60 for consultation & $40 for scan....then nurse told me from 20th week onwards, can take package....dunno how much is package...nurse will explain more during next visit...

 

[shelisa]

Thanks vernie,

i think the clinic i visit starting from 12 weeks can sign up for package already. if not wrong is $880 before gst. ($880 include 12 visit, scanning and urine test) Other then that all chargable.

 

[bluberi]

[bluberi]

Shelisa, i see.. mi gynea is at TMC. mi was considering Mt.A coz my gynea can deliver there. but my hubby dun like the place, say out of the way.. so we are staying put at TMC.

 

[shelisa]

[nee]

ladies, any webiie with ingredient that you should avoid, been using a cleanser contains Triethanolamine, not sure if there is any effect on my baby.

http://www.motherlove.com/faq_productstoavoid.php

celia, welcome and congrats. Pukish few times a day is a sign of morning sickness. I've read taking ginger slices will help.
