Jus realized that my post was cut off!

Yingzy: hmmm dun think so cos the babysitter was recommended by a friend of my hub's mom. U try asking neighbours around your area? The power and friendliness of aunties! They can help u spread via word of mouth that u need a babysitter.

Mreow mreow: yeap can imagine the little ones staring at me as I leave them alone wih strangers for the week!

Oh btw ladies, quick question. When purchasing clothes for the little ones do u purchase according to the tag indicated? I.e new born or 0-3 months etc? I'm not sure how much to buy in each category and sometimes the sizing across brands are so different!

Hehehe..
I play safe...
Only have afew 0-3months pieces.
The rest i bought are 6 months and i even have some for 9months..
U are right, some imitation pieces really have small cutting and even irregular cutting across the same age....

Hi mummies! :)

Hmmm I nvr had dat cramp feeling on my back. Only on my hands at times but not so bad. It usually happens after I wake up from sleep n it usually affects my wrists. Feel achy n difficult to bend my hands at d wrists. Other than dat no other cramps anywhere except for d tightening of d uterus. Yingzy better ask ur gynae abt it n make sure it's nothing serious.

Mreow Mreow: hahaha baby still has her head on top! I guess she really listened to me as I tell her to wait a few more weeks to be in there before she can come out n see d world. She's probably taking her time to turn again n hopefully near full term she will somersault again. Hahaha anyways I'm back to work n I'm taking things very very slowly. Hahaha

Waa, everyone's baby is kicking so strongly...
Mine isnt!!
Envious of u all!! :(

I only managed to video 3 short clips of my tummy.. Can see that baby is moving a little..
But not like vigorous and quick till can see hands and feets type!! :(
Can u mummies see that?


Mummies, Now at 31weeks, i FINALLY do feel a lil strain from Pregnancy...

Remember I used to mention that Its so comfy for me to sleep on my back?
Hehe, Now i do feel a littttle heavy.
But i still sleep on my back though... :p

And getting up from Squats do take me 1-2secs more now.. HAHA :)
Other than that Im ok..

Hubby noted that I started to feel the "im really pregnant" feel at 31weeks..
Cuz he was wondering when I will start to complain about being preggy... Haha
Actually quite lucky that I escape alot of pregnancy blues.

How about u all?

Doing ok?

When did u all feel the "im pregnant" feel?
In terms of discomforts.....

Heyyy mommies!

Currently, 29th weeks and 3 days!

Mreow: yeah! At 29th week my little bud is 1.4kg! So ur princess is really a little chubby bunny! But ain't that wonderful? Haha!

Personally, I haven feel any numbs except for the constant backaches. Which I relief with warm water bag or heat packs before I sleep.

However, I can start to feel the water retention effect, I have difficulties removing my wedding band! Haha. And my feet size have went up one size. In the morning I have to use a little more force to fist my hands. But it's not pain, just notice this minor changes.

The contraction we spoke about with Liza n mreow I asked my ob-gyn too, he was telling me it's normal to experience them at this time bcoz (yes) the uterus are expanding. And supposingly this contraction help keeps our womb, baby and uterus in shape. So no worries there. :D

Oh mommies! Hang in there our little one are gonna pop soon! Heee!

That's when we bid goodbye to "sweet dreams"!

Wanna discuss about "domestics worker"? :( as our edd are drawing near I needa go out n get a helper to look after bb when I am back to work as everyone from both the family are working! :(

Any good maid agency to reccomend?
And, which nationality will u mommies prefer?

Hi Mummies!

Yeah!! So happy the numbness feeling at the back is gone! ^^

Karenoon, Thanks for sharing the info on the uterus expanding part ^^ my baby and urs same weight at week29!!!

Mreow Mreow, ur baby is a gentle chubby princess... Heehee cute-to!
Try to sleep at the side yah... Coz the heaviness will hurt ur back eventually if u sleep too long hours on ur back. Have two head pillows if u want to sleep on back too for better breathing. :)

Mummies, if ur baby is vibrating in ur tummy, it's normal too... Have checked with gynae :)

As for domestic helper, I am also looking for one for my mummy. But wanna find part time one... Trying to find friends to recommend... Not so much on nationality but hope is a Singaporean who is easy going and detailed, fast and clean. can forget about those self introduce their mum as domestic helpers in the forum here... They are either only free on weekend night time coz the rest of the weekdays and weekend day time have to look after own grandchildren else never reply email. Quite frustrating, wasting SMS and time to check with them and to hear such news. Haha feel that they shouldn't even post in the thread if that's the case or should mention only free at weekends night. oops I just complain my frustration here

my maid is from UNITED CHANNEL... they specialist with Myanmar maids...

OK...so here my experience... no matter how clever or how dumb the maid is... the first 1-3 months is the torture... smart ones will "try to be clever".. dumb ones increase ur blood level to the highest point! I've tried indo & myanmar maid... indo maid really tested my patience and got sent back.. the myanmar one is getting better...

for e first month I almost kill both maids... but luckily e myanmar one went thru "consoling" with UNITED CHANNEL after i scream at her for one month... it works! no point for me to scream... the best trick is bring her down to the agent and get their "counselor" (who is from myannmar, can speak chinese n en) to talk to them.... then that's when they will really understand what you want...

but dun expect it to be perfect... cos maid will always be maid... we hv to play a part too... cannot be too lenient to them... when u say NO means NO and they should know that they are here to help u...not to create trouble for you...

my agent is the smaller united channel outlet at Katong shopping centre... Try to get Cowie... more friendly :)

Thanks yingzy!
I am torn between indo n Mynmmar helpers. But I think we r leaning towards the Myanmar side! I will check out United Channel!

So how much are you paying for Mynamar helper? Bcoz majority of the sites states only indo or fillip helpers salary.

Thanksss!!

Momopeachgirl: don't worry! My friend who is suppose to have her edd same as me on the 29th dec have now got her edd moved up to 18th Dec like you. Bcoz her baby is measuring too big n weighing at 1.6kg at 29th weeks. So I guess ur baby is fine! Like mreow mreow. Her is 1.6kg at 29th! So her is also moved up too... :)

I still sleep on my back bcoz the little bud kicks me on whichever side I sleep on too. Until when we r both "deeper into sleep then can move to the side. I have 2 baby pillow on each side so when I turn my tummy gets support haha.

I experience bloated-ness n heartburn on my second trimester, as MamaDT recommend, get Gaviscon, it's does help! :) Now third trimester, not so much. But like I mentioned. I think I am getting the water retention problem.
Dry lips still there. Skin still okay.
But I feel my nose n lips n swell up slightly! :(

Oh. I dunno if u all get this.
My stomach is VERY hairy. Haha. I don get the dark line that I heard my friends say pregnant woman will have. But my stomach around my navel have gotten quite hairy! Even the husband got a shock when he sees it. Haha!
