B4 my our 1st baby,The only thing me n my hubby willing to spend on are food only n online games abit.. Since baby born,we only go have slightly more high end meal once/twice a month or something,e rest all spend on our precious kids.. Seems like all parents r the same from the day they know they are going to be one.. Unspoken sacrifices for their very own children..

Ya,back then I only knew I was pregnant at 16weeks,was so anxious n worried once I knew I got a baby inside n was still doing all that stuff ppl say pregnant ladies cannot do.. Never stop worry til he was born so healthy n strong.. Now 2nd pregnancy,I'm worrying n panicking over everything again till the day she is born in my arms healthy.. Then start worry about other stuffs for them again lol..

Maybe I will also get normal moisturizer cream after i finish my strech mark cream!
Hi! Try not to get stretchmark cream with cocoa butter. Mustela doesn't have. One of my ex-colleagues highly recommend, said this line of product not bad although more ex.
Oh. I have one unopened stretchmark cream with cocoa butter.

hello! i am new here! approaching 7th month but everyone says i'm small. its very worrying cos its not like im very skinny naturally. so far I have put on only 3kg!!! i eat normally and gynae says baby is of right size but cant help but worry. Worst pregnancy symptoms are my rashes or eczema. Firstly all over my face, i cannot tahan and went to my GP who gave me creams and it vanished soon after and now I have red little spots over my tummy, back, butt and legs. sigh... how to have pregnancy glow like that?
U dun have to worry about the weight since your gynea says its okay.
Rashes and eczema will disappear later after u deliver.
My gynae saw my rashes and said it could be eczema. He prescribed special shower oil, moisturiser and medication to apply. I initially used baby lotion but he asked me to stop it. I stopped the lotion and also the stretchmark cream for the time being.
However, the last scanning to see baby is disappointing. He scheduled a last min appointment to talk to hubby and me abt our Oscar test result. He spent more time explaining abt the test, encouraging us to go for amnio and to abort baby if baby is abnormal. We were very certain we want to keep baby regardless, but he kept promoting the amnio so we went back to think abt it. After some lengthly and painful discussion on how we would deal with it if baby really has Down Syndrome, we decide to avoid amnio for the miscarriage risk, and to go through with it no matter what. We prayed to God for baby's health. We are pro-life and believe that all children, no matter what their mental or physical condition is, deserved a chance for life in this world.
