Vericose veins during pregnancy: luckily it goes away, it's not purple veins below belly (which is closer to stretchmarks). Mine is caused by the blood used by baby so it looks like spider webs/or spider-veins as its called all over the top and sides of belly.
Haha! I know how you feel... I was freaked out also the first time I felt that last week, and when I see a bump poking out at one side. Hehehe
Yup I know for fun, it's just me not accepting that im putting on weight. It took me 10mths to lose 20kg when i was overweight all my life until I met my guy and he helped me regain my figure (the last time i was 48kg was when i was 15yrs old!) I maintained it for 2yrs after losing that weight, and got pregnant in Dec 2011 and then the weight came on... I read that if you were once overweight, it can blow up again. I only hope I can lose it all again. Took lots of exercise and eating healthily to lose 20kgs! Sigh.
Lucky I'm not alone. At least u still can compensate by drinking milk. I can't take dairy milk products due to my gastric reflex but like most of u say, as long as baby is fine can le.
Oh so how do you have calcium in your diet? Cheese? I read that the last trimester we need even more calcium, so i should have 2 cups of milk now. I never drink milk before, but somehow it tastes good now Haha!Lucky I'm not alone. At least u still can compensate by drinking milk.

I'm still on my calcium pills (2 a day, as prescribed by gynae). I eat cheese maybe 3x a week...but can't stand milk (last time I used to LOVE it) because it makes me so nauseous still! So I hope I'm getting enough calcium from my food intake, don't want osteoporosis next time!!
Can I purchase calcium from the pharmacy, any idea what brand? Or i should get from the doc? My milk lasts me only 1 to 2 weeks and it's $20/box. So was hoping to save $ and get pills...
Cheese ok for me but not too much. I also take from other source of calcium like milo, broccoli, dark green veg and ikan bilis. I tried taking oyster calcium tablet in the first trim but stop after my 1st detail scan as they found 3 white dots on the baby's heart (too much for the lil one).
I have 2 dogs too!!!perkyperky, I love all of them, so they are not a bother. The two girls sleep in the pen at night in the kitchen and the two boys sleep with us...still hehe. The dog closest to me has started avoiding me though, and turned into a real daddy's boy
My colleague recommend Caltrate 600mg to me after telling her my gynae doesn't prescribe to me. Her gynae from Kandang Kerbau Hospital prescribed to her. Can get from Watson or Guardian
me too! Last night before I go to sleep, my girl was squirming about like a worm!
I love that feeling when she brushed across my hand when I placed my hands on my tummy.. then she will punch or kick or elbow (dunno which one) on my hands.. haha.. then i will talk to her like asked her what is she doing in there, if she's playing or bla bla bla.. haha... my hubby said i am crazy...
mamamarie, we are in the same boat.. used to be overweight and lost 10kg after 8months.. and have been maintaining it for 2yrs before I put it on again when I was trying for a baby... and now it got worst... thats why my hubby is making alot of noise abt my weight gain becos he knows it is not easy for me to lose weight....
Wah didn't know milk was so ex! My pills last 30 days (2 pills a day) and I got it from the gynae and it's definitely less than $20 a box! The label says it's pure organic milk calcium. I cannot remember the brand off-hand but sounds like it's much cheaper than drinking milk.
