Some said can take coconut water from 7 mths onwards.

About the walking part to speed up delivery - yes, it is true.

Ryoko,

Wow..what a small world. Not really controlling my diet. Just that I don't have much cravings. Just crave for a lot of water. Haha...

I would like to walk more as I want to exercise more. But when walk too much, my stomach start to cramp. So I don't want to take the chance. And I have 2 occassions of spotting so I better not take the chance..

Cheers,

Grace

Hello!

I want to ask if anyone uses Esmeria or Kose Sekkisei during pregnancy / trying to get pregnant?

I learned recently that essential oil is not advisable for those trying to get pregnant (like me), currently pregnant and breastfeeding.

Esmeria is a local organic/natural product where the parfum comes from Essential Oil.

Kose Sekkisei is plant based and well, is Sekkisei. Needs no introduction.

I also use Tea Tree Oil (Thursday Plantation) for my pimples.

Any mothers here can help to shed ideas on how to care for facial skin while trying to get pregnant and pregnant?

Thank you.

amniotic fluid 1kg,

baby 1 kg (at 28 week)- 3kg (full term),

placenta +- 1 kg

increased blood volume 1-2 kg,

increased body fluid +- 2kg

enlarged uterus 1 kg

stores of nutrients & muscle development 3 kg

from what i read, for 27 weeks normally gain weight around 7-8kgs, dunno maybe vary according to ur BMI also

Hi everyone

Went for gynae check up yesterday. Another kilo added. My baby has gained 700g since a month ago. My dr says very good size, in other words, my baby very tai chek. haha. My mum already calls her wai sek baby. Now I am worried my baby may be gaining too much weight, gotta start to control my food intake already.

Lately getting difficult to sleep coz my baby's movements, dr says it is good sign that baby is active. Anyone of you suffering from pain in lower abdomen near the groin? I noticed I get that alot whenever I turn too soon on the bed especially if I lift my legs separately too fast.

Grace84, should still try to keep yourself moving, just don't exert yourself with too much exercise or walking for long time. Do shorter duration but more frequency.

Morningmoon, I think avent has 2 types of bottles - PES and PP bottles. Avent promoter sales brown bottle last longer supposedly.

Ryoko, I have been having body heatiness since the start of pregnancy. So been drinking a lot of barley water. But friends have been advising me to drink coconut water instead. Planning to drink before last month of pregnancy coz my belly started having red spots like heat rash lately. Some say maybe my baby too heaty liao inside.

Y3N, not sure if it helps, as for myself I've been taking grapeseed extract and zinc even before I got pregnant. I find that it helps control my acne breakouts. During pregnancy, I've cut down on the 2 supplements by taking alternate days only. So far so good.

So 13th Nov tea confirmed?

Hi babyeclipse,

It is a good sign cz your bb is growing well...haha, but if you wanna natural birth then must make sure your bb's size moderate to ease the delivery :D

I went for c/up at klinik kesihatan on last friday and noted that my baby has gained abt 600g too within 3weeks from my last visit at Dr. Leong there and now is 1.3kg. I think on my next visit to Dr.Leong on the coming week, my baby should be 1.4kg lah...haha. One good thing is i manage to control my diet now, this month should gain abt 1kg ++ only.

I got many red spots too at my back but my belly just has one or two red sports only. I also plan to start drink coconut juice on the last month of pregnancy.

I have the same problem too to get into sleep but not due to baby movement. I think i only can fall sleep after one to two hrs laying on my bed :S

So u all hv decide where to meet?

Good to hear your baby is growing good. I can't really sleep peacefully nowadays also. As adviced by gynae, can't sleep on my back so I can only opt to sleep on my left or right side and my legs always cramp sleeping on one side too long. My baby is active but she has her timing so I can predict when she will be active and when she is sleeping. Hahaha, my stomach looks my it's having an earthquake too whenever she is active. I am still trying to walk as much as I can. When I start to feel breathless then I will sit down.

I have a lot of red spots on my stomach too. So i guess it's normal since you guys have it too.

Did your hubby listen to your stomach for the baby's movements? My hb likes to listen to baby's heartbeat and when he presses his head on my stomach, i think the baby can feel the pressure of his head's weight and start kicking him in the face. It's really cute... :)

Cheers,

Grace

Hi everyone,

Just some update on my baby girl, on last scan (28 weeks) she's still in breech position. I aslso walk at least 30mins a day. So far no red spots yet on my belly, but sometimes will feel so itchy all around the belly. I try hard to ignore not to scratch, coz some say scrathing will resulting in SM.

Babyeclipse,

Yes I also feel sore in my lower abdominal, sometimes in the pubic bone also. Same here, recently cannot get good sleep, due to frequent urination (5-6 times a night), leg cramp, back pain, general discomfort in my whole body, and sometimes because of baby movements. :(

edit : just thought to share my baby last scan pic, she's sucking her thumb i think, but my hubby think she's doing steve jobs' portrait pose. hehehe...

oh ya, anyone of u done the 4D scan yet? i'm wondering if it's worth it, coz i heard 4d is very expensive.

13th Nov - confirmed san2010 and ryoko. Grace84 u joining? Any of you mind going to Delicious in 1utama? They have selections of sweet and savoury stuff for tea.

Ryoko, i am still trying to control my diet, hoping to go for natural birth as it is my first. Any of you experience your baby kicking whenever hungry?

Grace84, try taking your calcium at night before sleep. I find it helps reduce leg cramps.

Morningmoon, your baby girl's position is so adorable. My baby is always turning around during my checkups so my gynae always have difficulty getting nice pic of her. I've done 4d scan twice now, and my dr doesn't charge me extra for it. Are you sure there's a cost included?

My baby seems very cheeky, whenever she is actively moving, I will ask my hubby to put his hands on my belly to feel her but my baby seems to know and she will stop moving. If he doesn't touch my belly then he can see my belly shake/move due to her movements inside. So hubby thinks this baby will listen to me more than him, haha! We mothers carry the baby for 9-10months of coz baby likes our voice better isn't it.

Hello morning moon,

Hopefully your baby will engaged and turn down very soon or else you'll end up with C-sect. Maybe u try to talk to her and coax ur bb to turn :)

For me, my gynae will perform the 4D scan + ultrasound scan from 11 weeks onwards until delivery. Charged RM60 per checkup.

Can see many things through 4D scan lor.

Babyeclipse & AngelT,

Woah how come so cheap? My monthly scan is RM90, 2D ultrasound only. If wanna 4D need additional cost around RM200 for baby 3D pic & video.

AngelT, yes right now doing moxibustion suggested by MIL to stimulate the baby to turn down, she's doing lot of movement & sommersault, but somehow always end up in heads up position...

I am afraid I will be quarantined in the weekend. My dizziness is quite bad since last week. Although gynae says my bp is normal, he asks me to rest more. So other than work, I wont be going anywhere these 2 months. You guys enjoy yourself ya :)

I will try to eat the calcium at night then. As of now, I eat all my supplement in the morning. Hahaha..I know what you mean, Babyeclipse, whenever I ask hubby to put his hand on my stomach, she will stop moving. However, she responds well to him when he put his head on my stomach. He said it feels like she is stroking his face.

Just went for my check up yesterday. Baby is doing good. Her head is still down. Her movements are getting more aggresive these days. Haha. Did the 3D scan and saw that she looks a lot like hubby. :D

Cheers,

Grace

Babyeclipse,

I am ok with delicious@1U, how abt the time? Abt 3pm? Haha, sometimes my baby will kick me too when i am hungry especially in the morning, sure he will kick me for breakfast :D

Morningmoon,

My best friend had the same problem that her bb's head never turn down whenever she told her everyday and end up with c-sect. After her bb born, the dr told her the reason why her bb's head never turn down, it is due to bb's Umbilical cord just like the car seat belt and tied her. So whenever bb try to turn down but end up also will turn up back.

Grace84,

It is a lost without you to join us...but anyway, take good care and hope everything will be fine then. Yeah, i will visit dr.leong too by tomorrow for check up. Your gynea is dr. Leong too, right? How is his fee for your every visit? Just wonder lah...cz i think he is quite expensive.

Hi Babyeclipse & San2010,

Can i double confirm our meet up appointment by this 13th nov @delicious 1U at 3pm? Any other mom-to-be interested to join?

Hi Everyone,

Just went for check up today, i manage to control my weight this month and just increased 1.3kg only. Yeah, i did ask my gynea abt the rubbing our belly and he said it wont cause the premature birth and never heard abt it ohh but he said rubbing belly can increase our relationship with our bb and remind me to drink more water to prevent premature birth. Haha...what you guys think abt it?

Anyone of you have start to visit dr twice a month from 7th mth of pregnancy onwards?

Ryoko,

Yes. I visit Dr. Leong too. I just went on Tuesday for a check up. I think his fee is quite ok. As I went to other places to check up before and for second opinion. Those specialists are even more cut throat. He told me the same thing. Drink more water. I will be starting my once every two weeks check up starting 2 weeks later. I also find his supplements are cheaper compared to outside.

This week onwards, ppl are starting to comment on how big my stomach looks. My boss even looks at my stomach today and asked whether I am carrying twins. Haha. Walking now has become very difficult. I do feel heavy like a mini elephant.

Hope you guys have a great lunch this weekend. Swap more baby stories and share with us here ya :)

Evelyn82,

Congratulations!!! You must rest more. The first trimester is really the most crucial. You will constantly feel very tired and sleepy. Do you have morning sickness?

Cheers,

Grace

Hi Grace84,

Hi Ryoko,

Maybe it's because you buy supplements each time? For me, I only buy Obimin and Iron from him. I can't take Obimin Pluz because I throw up everytime I take it. So I am taking Obimin and Neurogain. I also buy Calcium from GNC. It's cheaper and dosage is higher. On average, every visit cost me RM110. That includes scan but no supplement. The last time I went was RM130 (3D scan + Obimin + Iron).

Are you going to deliver under Dr.Leong in Columbia Asia Puchong then?

Cheers,

Grace

Hi. I do not have morning sickness (touch wood). Just easily get tired and sleepy. I eat quite a lot, so my tummy start showing d. But I felt nausea when I smell cuttlefish and some other strong smells. I had cramps like period cramp on my 4th and 5th week. Other than that, I have not much sickness.

Hi Grace84,

I remember the first visit to dr. Leong with details scan and calcium only also cost RM 170. 2nd and 3rd time visit with scan, obimin pluz and calcium cost RM170. I did ask the clinic assistant abt the cost breakdown, obimin pluz -RM50, calcium-RM15, scan photo - RM5, thus i can estimate his consultant fee is RM30 and normal scan is RM 70.

Same as you, start to visit him every two weeks start from this month, so I can see it will cost me more than RM 170 each mth. *faint*

However, one thing i like this clinic is not so crowded as other clinic and spend less than one hr to finish the appointment plus near my house.

I have decided to deliver at Serdang Hospital since two of my friends hv good comment abt their service. Somemore, the fee is much lower than private hospital which can balance my cost to my confinement lady during CNY. I think for Jan 2012 mom to be also face the problem to hire a confinement lady on this hot period, many of the CL will charge double!!!
