Pre-Natal Blues

[Juz17]

Dear all,
Besides today is Monday BLUES, I also have pre-natal blues. I got so many things in my head and I dunoe how to release my stress over them. Perhaps anyone who is very free can give me some advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance...

1) Weight Gain - Sigh, I started being slightly overweight and now (at 20th Week) I gained almost 12 kgs already. I read that my max should be only 13kgs. I asked my doc for nutritious plan but he just told me dont't need to eat for two will do. Sigh. I wish to maintain or not gain so much. Actually if best, lose abit of weight. Doc say if I didn't eat enough, baby can get the nutritients from me. Is it true? I also dunwan to walk around like humpty dumpty. I already got problem walking up 3 flights of stairs and gets out of breathe easily!

2) Delivery cost - Sigh, Sigh, I am not earning alot and of cos due to my debts, I am unable to save up too. So I been reading lots of forum on the estimate delivery cost and it seems like I pay at least $2k in cash after medisave claims. And I just read from CPF website that medisave must have a minimum of S$15k before the remaining can be used to deduct delivery cost...is it true? If not enough means got to top up cash? OMG...if I am unlucky and i need to go for emergency c-section after opting for normal with epi delivery how? Wah...so stressful. And I read that no hospital does installments. So, for those who are not so well-to-do how? ((

3) Tummy size - I know this is uncontrollable but my tummy is so big at 5th month as compared to others. Though everyone's tummy size is different. I felt that my tummy is very high and very 'firm'. I sense that if it grows further, which it will, my tummy will have horrible stretch marks. I am applying stretch mark cream now so probably not an issue, but i also experienced numbness on the top on my tummy, just below my breasts. It's quite painful not as if I will shout over it. HELP! I been experiencing numbness constantly...sigh sigh.

4) Ante-natal class @ KKH - Just checking only, I am starting my class tomorrow. If anyone is also in the class? My hubby is going reservist for 2 weeks in July and I will be alone for 2 classes. Trying to make friends here prior to the class...

Thanks for tuning in...I need a place to relieve my stress...

Relax Girl! I also put on alot weight from 14weeks + till now im 22 weeks. Beginning my tummy very small my mum got so worried keep asking why tummy so small this and that. then now my stomach is obvious already. + im those small and skinny type. its even more obvious the bump. Put on weight is good thing. I get hungry super easily. Morning breakfast eat less than 1hr+ i get hungry again. But my sis told me not to eat too much rice, so i only take rice for lunch/dinner. either one or when im really hungry then both meals. In between whenever i feel hungry, i eat mantous, biscuits, make nestum to drink or eat oats. Dont too stress. I walk up 2 flights of stairs when i go home already tired and panting. Don't think of dieting, maybe u can eat more fruits in between meals like what i do. Helps constipation also. I can go to the toilet daily to remove my bowels.

2) Delivery cost - Sigh, Sigh, I am not earning alot and of cos due to my debts, I am unable to save up too.

So, for those who are not so well-to-do how? ((

I'm not well to do too, plus this is unplanned pregnancy, I'm not working and hubby taking home pay is just nice for both of us. We also can't save at all basically every month is just nice go pass, I heard from my friend she at KK give birth never even pay a cent, You must go ask the counter people earlier abit to use medisave deduct, something like this. I'm not too sure. But i will check it out this end month when i go for check up then i let you know again k? Don't stress!

3) Tummy size - I know this is uncontrollable but my tummy is so big at 5th month as compared to others. Though everyone's tummy size is different. I felt that my tummy is very high and very 'firm'. I sense that if it grows further, which it will, my tummy will have horrible stretch marks. I am applying stretch mark cream now so probably not an issue, but i also experienced numbness on the top on my tummy, just below my breasts. It's quite painful not as if I will shout over it. HELP! I been experiencing numbness constantly...sigh sigh.


My baby girl keep kicking me at the lower part. Esp at night or when i'm hungry and waiting for dinner, she kick even harder, My tummy also quite big, and i worry stretch marks too, but im applying cream too, remember, if your tummy itch, try not to scratch it. Mayb just rub it lightly. Numbness u must let your gayne know the next time u go for check up. I'm just having backaches daily and i cant really sleep at night. If not sleep 2-3hrs then wake up le. Afternoon then take nap again.


4) Ante-natal class @ Kandang Kerbau Hospital - Just checking only, I am starting my class tomorrow. If anyone is also in the class? My hubby is going reservist for 2 weeks in July and I will be alone for 2 classes. Trying to make friends here prior to the class...

Thanks for tuning in...I need a place to relieve my stress...

Too bad im didnt take up any classes. But i can be your friend here! :tlaugh:

I already got problem walking up 3 flights of stairs and gets out of breathe easily!

though i am only in my 16th week but i read from the net, we should have quality meals and not in quantity and we should try to exercise as much as possible. start off by have 15mins walk around the park... and stop whenever you are breathless or dun feel well... then progressively increase the timing of exercise. and yes the doc is right now is not a good time for us to lose weight. maybe you want to sign up for the pre-natal yogo or aqua aerobic etc maybe that will help control your weight as well has make it easy for birth and the baby would be overweight too. well at least that is what i am doing now .. i did not increase my quantity but i do have small snack of fruits or oatmeal biscuit in between if i am hungry and i try to walk at least 15 mins everyday which i am going to increase to at least 30 mins back to the time when i am not pregnant

2) Delivery cost - Sigh, Sigh, I am not earning alot and of cos due to my debts, I am unable to save up too.

are you with private hospital or KKH under their subsidized program ? based on your post below, should be KKH right? then are you there as private patient or under their subsidized program ...if subsidized program...then it shouldnt be that much and dont go for single /twin occupany bed when deliver ...go for 4 bed, heard from friends they are alot cheaper.also suggest that you check with clinic as well as CPF on how to use the medisave

3) Tummy size - I know this is uncontrollable but my tummy is so big at 5th month as compared to others. Though everyone's tummy size is different. I felt that my tummy is very high and very 'firm'.

check with gynae on your next visit

i dont mind making friends here as well as lend a listening ear

Dear MissyMelody,
Thanks for 'listening' :001_302:

I envy you for being 'small' size to start with. I gain so much that my face also expanded. LOL. Imagine the hardest part to lose weight...my arms...OMG! *faintz* I think I am starting to eat fruits like now...5th mth into pregnancy. Am i too late? Heee...I got my 'pregnant woman' privillege when i am in my 3rd mth...I usually get my seats on MRT...so this shows hw big my tummy is right? Dunoe to be happy or sad about...now I walk like humpty dumpty...

Regards to delivery cost, I read forum all that and most ppl still have to pay a small sum. Unfortunately, sigh...my gynae cannot deliver at KK and I heard not-so-gd comments abt KKH so I am going to TMC for delivery. My clinic assistant say TMC can claim the highest medisave claim. Anyway I have decided to go with the lowest - 4-bedded. Now everyday just pray hard that my boy comes 'smoothly'. Anyhow, I think we can foot the bill 100% by medisave and we have to keep a min of $15k in medisave b4 we can use for delivery. Gosh...those with low medisave how? Not true abt tis cos din see anything on this yet.

My sleep has been getting better. No need to wake up in the middle of the night to pee...but flipping from left to right can be an issue. Sometimes I flip with some pain then no choice i flip back. Now i am most comfortable sleeping on my bed which ppl say it's no good and soon i cannot sleep like that. No itch so far cos I haven experience any kicks yet. Now i dun even noe is my bb ok cos 'no sound,no picture' from him. sigh sigh. Waiting for my detailed scan on 25 June. So LONG!!! Oh ya, backaches! Toking abt that...now I walk too long, sit too long or even lie down, I experience backache. My gynae say if too serious he might need to recommend me to specialist...he scare slipdisc...wah...scary...I told him nt spine pain but the side of the spine...i think if rhumetism (dunoe how to spell). Old liaoz tat's y la...:001_302:

Anyway taking the course cos i am clueless abt taking care of infants though my mum is helping me take care la...but still, i need to learn and get over the fear of cleaning baby's poo...lol...

So where do you intend to deliver? Your edd in Oct right?

Thanks for replying lei!:001_302:

Dear PTB7476,

To be frank hor, till now I have not done any exercise besides my usual walking from home to bus stop and the stairs to my office from level 1 to 3. And I get so out of breathe when I reach my office. LOL. Abit broke to sign up any course...lol...so got to do 'free' exercise.

Well, my gynae don't practice at KKH and I am opting TMC cos according to my gynae's clinic, TMC can have the most medisave claim. Not sure how true is that. And heard lots of not-so-gd comments on KKH so dun wish my first experience to be so 'memorable' in that way. Anyway I am opting the lowest - 4 bedded...

Ya I think i better do so. Cos the frequency of the numbness increase. Actually I think is when I just had a full meal...I think cos some food produce more 'gas' than others and I ate alot of those stuff? Sigh...alot of food causes 'gas' lei...so hard to eat properly in fact.

Thanks for being my friend!

So where are you delivering?

Well, my gynae dont't practice at Kandang Kerbau Hospital and I am opting Thomson Medical Center cos according to my gynae's clinic, Thomson Medical Center can have the most medisave claim. Not sure how true is that. And heard lots of not-so-good comments on Kandang Kerbau Hospital so dont wish my first experience to be so 'memorable' in that way. Anyway I am opting the lowest - 4 bedded...

Thanks for being my friend!

So where are you delivering?

for me ...once i reach home i wont have time or energy to exercise so normally i will alright a bus stop earlier and walk to my husband's workplace before going home together :tlaugh: in the past i used to walk from my office to his and that can easily take 30 mins to 45 mins but during the 1st trim i have stopped doing that at the doc 's advice so now that i have passed that phrase i can slowly start my exercise ancing_tongue:

oh..you are with Thomson Medical Center too.....me too . I chose Thomson Medical Center is because my siblings were born there >20years ago and my nephew also born there...so lazy to go check out other hospital and so here i am... with Thomson Medical Center :tlaugh: and statistically Thomson Medical Center is the 2nd lowest hospital among all the maternity hospital so no need to worry so much :001_302: so long live within means and choose the kind of bed one can afford comfortably, think should be fine

btw dont go on crash fruit diet now... slowly cut down on carbo and increase fruits and vege ...

for me i am not taking any classes because i do have experience with infant since i am teenage and i help out looking with my nephew when he is still infant / toddler so shouldnt be a problem...and worst case my mom and sister are around to help out :tlaugh:

my EDD end nov...still a...very long way hahaha

As for the weight gain... don't worry too much.. after u give birth... u can always go for a jog or swim... yes baby will still grow even when u not eating much... just eat as normal... as for get out of breathe.. is normal.. so not to worry too much ya... as for myself.. before preggy i already quite overweight.. now... even worst... 90 plus kg.. think if u sad.. i should go die... haha

2) Delivery cost - Sigh, Sigh, I am not earning alot and of cos due to my debts, I am unable to save up too.

So, for those who are not so well-to-do how? ((

3) Tummy size - I know this is uncontrollable but my tummy is so big at 5th month as compared to others. Though everyone's tummy size is different. I felt that my tummy is very high and very 'firm'. I sense that if it grows further, which it will, my tummy will have horrible stretch marks. I am applying stretch mark cream now so probably not an issue, but i also experienced numbness on the top on my tummy, just below my breasts. It's quite painful not as if I will shout over it. HELP! I been experiencing numbness constantly...sigh sigh.


yes.. as for tummy big a not.. it cannot be control.. mine is till i 6 month onwards then can see... maybe because my tummy is already big... haha... my stretch mark also very bad... but gal.. look on the happy side when u r preggy.. because if not baby will feel that u r upset.. & he will get affected too... Pregnant is a happy thing to go thru in a woman life... so don't be so sad k...
4) Ante-natal class @ Kandang Kerbau Hospital - Just checking only, I am starting my class tomorrow. If anyone is also in the class? My hubby is going reservist for 2 weeks in July and I will be alone for 2 classes. Trying to make friends here prior to the class...

Hallo Wendy,

Serious? How come CPF website shows that?My hubby also just mentioned say not possible. Anyway maybe I can email them to check it out. My CPF is more than my hubby's. Ya Deposit is quite standard...im more worried abt the 'after-delivery' cost in cash. Sigh...how come no installments?

Hee I am trying to be happy...at least for now, 85% of the time is my happy time....so not too bad la....life is never a bed of roses right? *runz*

Hee thanks for replying! Nice to 'meet' u too! ancing_tongue:

 

[missymelody]

medisave wise. u better go check with TMC. im at KK. so i also dunno anything. -_- its my fren who told me that she gave birth at KK without any cent.

i seldom exercise. im those nua type. haha. im just turning 21! so im staying at home enjoying my pregnancy while earning money online through games and blogshops. extra income. baby things so ex. lucky i buy some already few days back. ahha.

backache common la. mine esp when blow fan directly worsen !!


dont worry too much. i also dunno anything about baby. + my mum helping me out for 1mth + only. the rest of the months gonna learn it myself le. have to. haha.


ya. my edd october. october 9th. ^^ hopefully 10th. then it will be my 21st birthday present! hahaha.

 

[PTB7476]

WAH walk 30 - 45 mins sia! CHAMPION! :001_302:
My hubby workplace and mine woot...cannot walk want...else maybe i can consider yr 'exercise' lol. BTW i also realise our EDD same month...mine is early nov...might be end Oct too....just my feeling !
With yr words on Thomson Medical Center, I am so relieve...heee...:tlaugh:Anyway I will opt for the lowest if possible...Also envy that you got experience taking care of infants...lol...I dont....so hope I can learn something thru the course. :001_302:

I tink be fair to my baby, I cant crash diet now ...lol...I trying so hard to eat more fruits and vegs. Am not a fruits or veg person given a choice...bad me...i know...:err:Hee...I hope by walking more will make my time easier when delivering. Was talking to a friend just now and she say she can hear me panting when talking to her....imagine how hard i am to tok and grasping for breathe...walk too much can be a problem for me now too. :embarrassed:

Hee so will we see each other in Thomson Medical Center then? :001_302:

i used to exercise alot until i got married ...that's why i become overweight from all the food and holidays so 30-45mins are nothing close to exercise to me

why dont you go check out the hospital tour at TMC they will give you a hospital bill guideline and you can try to manage your finance based on those price guideline based on worst case scenario

i too not a vege person but no choice so i tried to have a least 1 serving of vegetable but still it is not helping with my constipation haiz...guess i need more than 1 serving :embarrassed:

i notice you kept talking about instalment. Words of advice..if both of you already have debts (long or short term) to clear ...try not to sign anymore instalment cos they will land you into more debts cos the monthly instalment for each items may look small as compared with your monthly income but several instalment bit by bit they do accumulate and can be quite alot. dont forget having a kid will incur more cost in future

sorry for being so longwinded

Good morning MissyMelody,
Is this your first baby? I guess your gynae is at KKH right? Heard too much abt KKH unless you are taking their private suite...lol...too ex for me.
WAH gamer!! Can teach me how to earn money by playing games? Sell stuffs ah? What games you playing? Share share? :001_302: So far i only bought playpen @ the motherhood fair recently, bottle sterilizer, changing mat and some socks. That's all...I think my co will be giving walker as gift. Then I will need to get stroller, high chair and maybe car seat for my baby later.

Wah, blow fan back will pain? Yrs is worst than mine...not spine pain right? If spine pain, dunoe can take epidural or not...old people say will be worst when we grow older.

Wah! Usually i heard first bb will come slightly earlier...but anyhow hope yr bb come and celebrate yr bday with u!! ancing_tongue:

good morning babe,

Wah! U got a good habit...of exercising! I damn nua...cos i hate the feeling of panting for breathe...lol...lazy is the word la...

Oh I am going for the tour next Friday after my detailed scan at PEH. I din noe they will give me a rough hospital bill guideline...woot...good good i am going to ask them on that day! You been to the hospital tour?

Sigh, since young I dun take green veges. I love cabbage and cabbage is one of the food that caused 'wind' argh...but i still eat that. Now I learn to take more veges. My hubby dun even take veges and yet he is slimmer than me! LOL...unfair life! I tink constipation can try prune juice. I tried that and it works for a seriously constipated me. I drink a cup of very concentrated prune juice and 2 hours later, all out! SHIOK! LOL...dun imagine hor!

Hallo Wendy,
I also not any better ...sigh...I already when I started cos I gain like 5kgs right after my wedding and 2 holidays..lol...so I started overweight and now worst . :embarrassed: dont say die ....I am sure you r more motivated and positive to keep going than me ...

Serious? How come CPF website shows that?My hubby also just mentioned say not possible. Anyway maybe I can email them to check it out. My CPF is more than my hubby's. Ya Deposit is quite standard...im more worried about the 'after-delivery' cost in cash. Sigh...how come no installments?

Hee I am trying to be happy...at least for now, 85% of the time is my happy time....so not too bad ....life is never a bed of roses right? *runz*

Hee thanks for replying! Nice to 'meet' you too! ancing_tongue:

Ya... for the CPF thing.. i think is not possible.. so u better check it out... as for the after delivery chargers.. i think no need to pay much unless is suddenly u need to C sect.. because i never pay extra after i delivery.. still get $70 plus back.... but even the check up for baby at polyclinic is not that ex as what u think... so dont worry... will sure go thru...
