Yes... Feeling itchy too as well...me too.....
Yes... Feeling itchy too as well...me too.....
you r not alone dear (the aches, the kicks & the penguin), my hubby did not really understd that, stil ask me do twisting waist exercise (where is my waist excuse me!!!). i did not wanna move much as my back aches, my baby press down on my nerves near pelvic bones (both sides...) etc. & my son is pulling my tummy towards gravity, therefore i hav to walk tilting my head back. haha... & so on & so on.Dear mummies! Do you all start feeling braxton hick already? false contraction.
I think i have that kind of feeling, is kinda scary...& now i began to feel very very hard to adjust my position, i will feel cramp at my upper ab, feel very tight also..i walk like a penguin!!!:embarrassed::shyxxx:
Yups.. I have to watch my carbs and sugars now too.. Hehe..Thanks Hidz. U r right, I should start to weigh myself more often to keep track of the weight. I seriously cut down on carbo and sweet stuff after last visit. My hb thinks that Im too bothered with baby's weight, but I just cant help it.
wow.. 5kg really slow and steady... For me, I didnt gain much during 1st trim, but it rocket up after my 20 week scan, like 4 kgs gain within a month. And my intake is normal as before, not sure why thou.
what is maternity belt? Is it used to support the bump?
I think of labour all the time and get all emotional and even cry!! Like you, I am also thinking of engaging the service of a doula as I believe I need someone professional who can help me relax and relieve my pain. But, it's kind of pricey and it's not a common custom for us to engage one. Husband not keen about the idea and finds it unnecessary... will see how things go.
Janz, My colleague was wearing one, she said it helped her to get around, lesser pain. I had those pains too.. but last month's was exceptionally bad.. I could barely walk! My husband had to carry me at one point! Was crying cos the pain was so excruciating.. Then my gynae told me its okay to pop in panadol.. So i did, plus had an emergency prenatal massage at home.. It helped.. But i never liked the idea to take meds unnecessarily.. So that was the only time that i ate the panadol.. Then.. i remembered about the existence of the maternity belt.. Lol.. *faints*Happy MTB, I have those pelvic bone aching too.. and I started to move like penguin.. I think i really look like one, hb calls me Happy Feet
I read that BH can happened after mid of pregnancy.. and it gets more frequent 6 weeks before EDD.
Btw, anyone experience no bb movement like more than 16 hrs? I usually experience movement ard 11pm and 9am+.. but there was no movement since last night. I hope everything is ok.
Hidz, I think I'll need a maternity belt soon. The pain at the pelvic bone area is getting more frequent now, and each time when it attack could last me for 1-2 days.
Oh btw im also going to get the gym ball (aka birthing ball) this weekend.. Cos i was told that it can also help to relieve body pain.. My elder sis was rolling and sitting on one during her labour back in melb.. Lol.. She said it made the labour pain & birthing a much more pleasant experience.. Been reading up on it and watching some vids on youtube too.. Best if you have someone present when you're trying this out.. Or get into prenatal yoga, which im considering too.. I sat on one gym ball the other other day to test, felt so so shiok.. ! ;D
Hi Cyo,you r not alone dear (the aches, the kicks & the penguin), my hubby did not really understd that, stil ask me do twisting waist exercise (where is my waist excuse me!!!). i did not wanna move much as my back aches, my baby press down on my nerves near pelvic bones (both sides...) etc. & my son is pulling my tummy towards gravity, therefore i hav to walk tilting my head back. haha... & so on & so on.

Ya i read about this birthing ball too. But there are many sizes, which sizes are you getting? Is it expensive & where can we get it? Actually i wonder if it will make us fall down? haaaa..cos it is round n may roll? if we cannot keep the balance, will we fall down? Keep us updated ya dear!Janz, My colleague was wearing one, she said it helped her to get around, lesser pain. I had those pains too.. but last month's was exceptionally bad.. I could barely walk!

I'm also using palmer's cocoa butter...you can try palmer's cocoa butter... it's proven that it can lightened stretchmark.... i think so... and 1've been using it from 11 weeks now i'm in my 28th week and havent seen any stretchmark yet( cross fingers hehee).
for the pre natal massage.... i guess I'm lucky cos my MIL does pre and post natal massage and she used to work under babybellies. now she's freelancing. nevertheless... its good to have one usually one time during the 5th month, 7th month and before labour...
They r the only nightmare that makes you smile dear. :we3jiggy:Hi Cyo,
YES! The gravity thing!!! Ya.thanks to our hubby who really help out alot..haha, i laughed out when you said where is our waist! Exactly..WHERE????....I have heard alot of stories after baby is out..Its actually the start of a "nightmare"..but am looking forward to that very much!!!!
Hi sjchan,Any MTB experience back pain problem?
I start to have back pain around week 24 and now getting more serious (Now is week 28).
Initially I only feel back pain in the evening time but now I can start to feel the back pain the the morning then getting more serious in the evening time. I easily feel pain when I'm standing, walking or sitting. Only lay down then I'll not feel the pain.
Any MTB can advise how to relief the back pain?
hahah YES IT IS!! Whoohooo! Now i kept thinking of that moment..They r the only nightmare that makes you smile dear. :we3jiggy:
