Oh ok...i called a CL my cousin recommended, but she has accepted a job w EDD 10Feb, whereas mine is 12Mar..so there's chance of overlapping.
She suggested that she can get a friend to stand in for her for the overlapping days if i really deliver early, but not sure if i should go ahead or look for another one

Info to share on sleeping on your left!
Sleeping on your side is best while you're pregnant. In particular, sleeping on your left side may benefit your baby by improving blood flow – and therefore nutrients – to the placenta. It also helps your kidneys efficiently eliminate waste products and fluids from your body, which in turn reduces swelling in your ankles, feet, and hands.
It's a good idea to start training yourself early in pregnancy to sleep on your left side whenever you can. Of course, staying in one position all night isn't likely to be comfortable, so turning from side to side while favoring your left side is probably the best strategy.
As for sleeping on your back, avoid that position throughout pregnancy, especially in the later months. Here's why:
When you're sleeping on your back, the weight of your uterus lies on the spine, back muscles, intestines, and major blood vessels. This can lead to muscle aches and pains, hemorrhoids, and impaired circulation, which is uncomfortable for you and can reduce circulation to your baby.
Back sleeping can make blood pressure drop, causing some expectant moms to experience dizziness. On the other hand, in some moms-to-be it can make blood pressure go up.
Finally, back sleeping can cause snoring and, with increased weight, could lead to sleep apnea.

<font color="000080">303jun >> Morning I eat 1 pack of plain crackers and cup of cereal; lunch I eat a bit of rice and potatoes, usually with fizzy drink; 4pm I eat maybe bun or a few biscuits; dinner I try to eat a proper meal, but usually will puke out or no appetite, just want to eat fruits.

Carice: Good luck for your OSCAR tmr!
Michelle: I think your appetite quite good leh... for me I always cannot finish my meals. Sometimes can only force in a few grains of rice (I'm not exaggerating!). Whenever I feel sick, I'll stuff myself with red bean paste bun or bread...whatever I can buy nearby office. But I find my stomach able to stomach porridge & bread better. No kuey teow... makes me sick. Pasta haven't tried.
star_nn: Thanks for sharing but I think some of the things mentioned in the article not accurate leh ;p I think you should consider to engage another CL in case the replacement one is no good.
drypantz: I intend to engage CL after I pass my OSCAR or amnio. Wanted to b v sure before booking. Hopefully still can find a decent one by then ;p
Just now met my gym friends for lunch. They claimed I even looked better before pregnancy! Unbelievable! Must be the weight lost & the progestrone in my body which makes my skin glow!! But I told them everyday I feel like dying bcoz can't eat and have to deal with tonnes of work in the office & when reach home & to deal with a toddler with terrible 2s!

Michelle, why does your MIL insist on having a boy? Thought your #1 is a boy?
Agree with Linda, having kids is so expensive these days! Don't know if can afford it or not. Always think that SAHMs are very lucky (and admirable).
Zelda, you are already in the glowing period of the second trimester!!
Finally going for week 12 scan this coming Saturday after 4 weeks - the wait is so long, can't help but be paranoid sometimes.

Michelle, your MIL quite conservative.
My hubby told me once that my MIL prefers to have a grandson. But i told him that he has the Father in law life coz his younger brother has 3 daughters.
So i think it will apply to him.
I m also stopping at 2 coz having 3 kids will have a high chance of #2 having middle child syndrome which is quite scary.

Morning everyone!
I have been having sleepless nights too, so sad. Usually go to bed around 10 plus to 11pm, takes a little while to fall asleep, and will wake up to go toilet. Then cannot sleep. If I finally sleep, will wake up again and again...sigh
Guess this is the <pregnancy> insomnia acting up?

star_nn,
oh, then I think you might want to look out for another one. The previous assignment ends just before your EDD, quite "risky". Unless you are comfortable with whoever the CL is going to ask to stand-in.
Huijun,
You will miss the bb stage once your older one grows up le. Then you'll want another one.
I didn't think I wanted a 3rd one too (cos already 1 boy 1 gal) but I find them growing up too fast. I kind of miss the infancy stage, the bb smell & etc ... so we decided to have another one. hehe.

Starr : haha we almost same......
morning everyone! had the funniest dream last night... super random.. maybe my mind is too active too.. keke..
Zelda, how do i go abt looking for a CL? just call one of the agency? i am now so worried that i won't be able to find one.
oh, which gym do you go to? you still continue to go? i am thinking of suspending mine. i am with Cali.
Carol, i read that it is ok to sleep facedown at the early stage of your preg. and when your tummy gets huge, you will also be so uncomfy to sleep facedown that it won't be an issue..
so no worries!

Michelle: How come your princess so notti?? I think u're a super woman to be able to function with so little sleep & take care of active, tantrum throwing toddler 24x7 plus housework, cook etc! Y'day my gal also had nitemare & scream almost every hour after 2am. I only manage to fall asleep at 6am but not long after have to wake up to go work! Super tired now so I took chicken essence. Or else sure doze off at work de!
drypantz: No haven't suspended my mbrship yet. Too lazy even though it's just opp my office ;p Haven't been going to gym too as still feeling tired (excuses ;p). Will be suspending soon as no point I keep donating $$ to the gym. Mine is Fitness First.
chrmei: Wah TMC so cheap $400+ include detailed scan. Mine only OSCAR oredi $470
Detailed scan another price as I rem the previous time I did my detailed scan in TMC.
Carol: It's ok as our tummy quite small now. Can still sleep on our backs.
