That's the OGTT to see if you have diabetes. Anyway, congrats and great that you got married early and going to have two kids before your 30s :)

Hello everyone!

I'm a first time mummy-to-be, expecting our little one in Dec (I think!). :p I haven't seen a gynae yet but have made an appointment for 7 May. I'm actually not sure how far along I am now...some calculators say I am 5+ weeks while others think I am 3+ weeks. LOL! But I'm excited nonetheless and looking forward to seeing the gynae to get some confirmation. I don't think I have any obvious symptoms yet so fingers crossed. :)

Hello all!
I am a mummy from 2013 and my girl will be turning 1 soon on 07 May! I am here to read up as I am hoping for a number 2, want to keep up with those preggie moods. haha at the same time, would be really happy to share my experiences! Feel free to contact me if you have any pressing questions but aint getting any advice elsewhere. You can email me at mummypris13@gmail.com. Alternatively, drop by at my blog and-so-mummy-says.blogspot.sg to read up as I share pretty randomly about confinement, nursing bottles,pretty much anything which I thought would be useful for new mummies to know and for myself to remember. Hope it helps!

With Love,
Mummy Pris

Thanks Joeychen85! :) First date of my last period was 18 Mar so supposedly, I'll be having a Christmas baby. :) I'm heading to TMC, to see a gynae my friend recommended so not sure what to expect as well.

And not sure if this is a silly question but is anyone here already showing a baby bump? My tummy has gotten pretty big, as in I wouldn't think a 5-week pregnancy will show already. I can't even suck it in! Initially we didn't intend to tell anyone yet until I guess after the 1st trimester but given the rate that my belly is showing, I doubt we can keep it a secret much longer! Haha! Just hoping that there is nothing wrong though!

Do you guys believe in Chinese med supplement for prenatal?

Thanks Joey! I'm definitely looking forward to the first gynae visit! :)

Helllooo & congrats Happy13! I never thought about Chinese med supplement or tui na...although I haven't even told my parents or inlaws yet so pretty sure they will add their 2 cents worth when the time comes. My baby will be the first grandchild on both sides of the family so things should be interesting! lol!

hi everyone! not sure if I'm the only father here. anyways, went to the gynae last week and confirmed my wife is 3-4 weeks pregnant. This would be our 2nd child. However, bb too small so no heartbeat yet. EDD 22nd December based on my wife's last period. But gynae says looking at the size, likely will be afew days later, like Christmas or Christmas eve instead.

The 1st pregnancy had quite afew unexpected problems. My wife had gestational diabetes (thank goodness it didn't become permanent, had to poke her finger before and after every meal to test) and my son was 6 weeks premature and was born 1.9kg. Praying it doesn't happen again..

btw, we're going to Dr Douglas Ong who has a night clinic at Bt Timah Plaza. Really great doctor, would recommend him.

i'm thinking of looking for a confinement nanny after my first gynae visit although i've also been thinking about whether I think there is a need to have confinement at all actually. Your thoughts?

I used a confinement nanny for my first child. She will cook for mummy, bathe, and feed baby. If you're inexperienced with babies, you might like to have a confinement nanny to guide you.

Of course, confinement nannies will bring their own problems. Best to discuss properly what her services provide. My confinement nanny would wake up at night to feed baby every 3 hours. But I know some nannies won't do that.

My wife didn't want to eat my confinement nanny's food. She say to fatty and too much ginger. The nanny wouldn't give in either, saying this is traditional confinement food, it's good for her. In the end, I had to eat most of the food when the nanny was not looking. Then sneak other types of food into the bedroom for my wife
