Haha.. sounds cute.. sounds a bit true huh! 5?? wow.. she is great! well well, one or two serving each day can accumulate a lot of calories!! haha... u gained.. 15kg for 38 weeks...???? wow.. that is record!! hmmmmm.. see if I can break ur record

This is your first baby? Are u excited at this stage? 38 weeks, so its about 8 months? Do share with us after you deliver your baby its a boy or a girl?

When the baby gets heavier, does your lower back feel painful? I already have this back pain thingy before pregnancy..

I'll go Jusco n search for the pants.. thanks for the info!

haha.. yalor.. LOL! 15kgs is actually alot.. which is measured against my height.. (I ain't a tallie ) keke

Ya, my first baby. Is a girl btw.. will share with you on the outcome though.. since now all I have to do is just wait. >.<

Yup. back pain is common among preggers.. my back sores I think some time towards the end or mid of 2nd trimester.. one of my frens told me is because of the footwear I wore( I wear those flip flops at that time).. after I change to scholl slippers (those auntie design >.<).. it helps eliminate the back ache.. I'm not sure if it is because of the shoe lah, but worth to try if you do feel very uncomfortable with the backache....

I have also consult my doc and she say it's because the baby's weight and position which affects our posture as well.. so if you can, ask your hubby to rub some oilment for you.. or sleep with a pillow that supports your back.. also, can put one bantal between your legs too..

Not sure if what I write does make sense to you.. but you can take this as a guidance though..

I am opposite from u. I simply eat "rubbish" b4 pregnant. During pregnancy, I watch over myself. One n only time force to discipline myself.
cookies (eat when hungry, when i m out of food in the office), chips and cookies is a definite no no coz i avoid salt and sugar.

I have near to 30pcs (pants, dress, shirt.. altogether). I only bought bout 5, as my mum can sew clothes. She sew all for me. Although not very fashionable.. but at least can do fashion show in office where I don't repeat my clothes in 1mth time.
For cost effective, I suggest you buy from Jusco. They are cheaper and is ok to wear. Better save more $ to buy even nicer dresses to reward yourself after delivery

1st rule in craving... tell you hubby "If you love me, ignore my food request."

38weeks can deliver already. Wish you and baby have a safe and smooth delivery process.
Does your belly looks big? If your belly looks big, probably the weight goes to the water or something.

Me last time, everyone asking me whether I am carrying twins because my stomach really rough! I gain 10kg.. so proven the stomach area with bb take up 9kg. Hahahaha.

I'm also wearing fitflop.. but only during off working hours..during working hours I'm also wearing the auntie Scholl.. haha... I was so reluctant to get it at first... but really no choice.. I spent quite some time to choose a design!

Oilment? What kind? As far as I understand, the baby does not like the perfume to be applied on the mother's any part of the body.. I'm using lotion now but with less fragrance cos I mix my normal body lotion with those unscented body lotion.. not sure if its too much? Oilment, I'm not sure.. maybe I shall try the pillow trick

I ate but just 2-3 ulas. Don't go overboard.

I'm just at 14 weeks (14weeks, 6days to be exact according to my latest ultrasound <3) and my boobs are HUGE, not complaining, nor is hubby, but already my bra's are all getting pretty tight, don't want to buy more now in case i grow even more and can't fit the new ones so dealing with the 2 or 3 that still fit comfortably (they were a little on the big side before). During my first trimester they were really really sore and even wearing a shirt with no bra (only around the house) hurt. Now they aren't sore, but just heavy (plus my bump is pretty obvious so that is heavy as well).
For clothes, i got a few oversized t-shirts (the kind that are really long) that i am living in now and the stretchy pants with the fold down band and drawstring that are sold everywhere (mostly black with a color band).

My back gets tired towards the end of the day, i have definitely noticed it curving in a different way to before. I started doing some yoga positions at home to help ease the discomfort (downward facing dog is very relaxing but i don't know if i could still get into that position as my bump grows bigger).


As far as food and cravings go, during my first trimester i had major cravings for all sorts of things, mostly easy to please and pretty much all healthy (was crazy about oranges for weeks). Now i don't crave much but am quite picky and get really grumpy if i don't like the food i am eating (i was always a bit picky but i think because i get hungry more often it is harder to deal with). Sadly my mother in law is coming up with a new thing i 'shouldn't' eat almost every day (i'm not a fan of whoever introduced her to the internet right now ), so that is making things a little difficult.

Wish you all a happy and healthy pregnancy. For those just starting, enjoy everything to come, for those just finishing, early congratulations, good luck and enjoy your new baby.

this is a helpful thread indeed.
thanks TS

Hi, I'm on 4 weeks pregnancy now, this is my 1st baby!! Feel very excited & nervous!!

Anyone heard of can't eat canned food, preserve food & eggs ??

Dont understand how from food to avoid during pregmamcy can reach untill talking bout boob.. sum more got ... give up la

Preserved? Never heard of it.. but as usual it contains a lot of preservatives I suppose.. Before I was pregnant I am already reducing the intake of these foods.. are you staying outside alone? If yes maybe its inconvenient to cook like normal..

As for eggs, doctor has advised me to avoid uncooked egg / half cooked cos it contains germs or something like that..

Anyway happy for you!! I'm also very excited my foetus is 8 weeks now

Added on April 5, 2011, 1:59 pm Henry it just relates to the topic.. u know women like to chat about just everything are you a father / father-to-be?

Just to giv u some idea. For cost effective, buy those bra meant for breast feeding.. so that you can still use it after deliver.

Ita good idea, and i have been considering it... but only at 15 weeks now and still seem to be growing fast so don't want to pick up some that will only last a couple of months before being uncomfortable again. Either way i have enough to last for now, just about .

@PandaLover - It is very exciting. I did hear that you should avoid canned food (but forgot why), you also do want to try and avoid too many preservatives as they are mostly just added chemicals. As vegie_green said, raw and undercooked eggs can have some nasty bacterias in that will cause you problems, however eggs (good quality ones that are thoroughly cooked) are a great source of Protein as well as a number of essential vitamines and stuff so really great to have as part of your pregnancy diet (especially if like me you suddenly have no appetite for meat).

Hehe, veggie_green, I usually seldom eat preservative food as well. I'm staying with my hubby, I usually cook, cus it's healthier & cost saving!! Congrats to you also!!

Hi Divas thanks for the clarification. As I like to eat egg (cooked one), it will be killing me If I can't eat at all during pregnancy..hehe.... ;p

Talking about eggs. I recall a real joke situation.

My ex-colleague heard someone said is good to take half-boil egg during pregnancy. She is a singaporean.
So every morning she told her maid to "buat telur sepenuh masak", and she keep complaint to us that her maid doesn't know how to cook half boil egg. hahahaha... In fact, her maid safe her. Her BM is poor.. she mess up with sepenuh and separuh.

I think other than alcohol and smoke, every food is not dangerous at all for pregnancy, as long as taken in average portion.

Hey veggie_green... My bad for not understanding women enough . Ya I am a father of 2 already but still so much to learn.. Now talking about boobs, base on experience it does inflates very well during 1st trimester and may soften again a bit during 2nd trimester then inflates again towards late pregnancy. but end of breast feeding it just pancit and start falling. But luckilly my wife went for some bekung, breast massage/firming etc, it restored back the firmness la. Tummy also flat again. Guess got to spend money for her to maintain la as she worry it may fall apart at older age..

Added on April 6, 2011, 3:19 pmBtw for info, it is a myth during pregnancy that we must eat for 2. Based on a Obstetrician during our pregnancy counselling few years ago, a pregnant lady only needs to take extra calories of equivalent to an APPLE only daily during the entire pregnancy. Not eat for 2 as people always says. Means eat slightly more enough already but of course not junk food la. Must be nutritious
