Due in Feb 2008

Not been around for a while!

Hi all

Thought I would pop back in and say hello again.

Due on January 2nd.

I am glad some people found the chewing gum thing helpful - I think I am officially an addict now!

We are actually moving to the Philippines next month so i will not get to share the baby experience with you guys - but still, it is nice to be in touch on line with a group of gals who are around same stages!

I have to confess, apart from the first 3 months I have had a very easy pregnancy so far - BUT I feel soooooooo fattt!!!! HA HA HA! No getting away from that one!

Anyway, nice to read everyones posts.

motherOF2 - there is a really cute shop in Wanchai that does customized children's bed sets and furniture called "Art Deco Furniture." I am sure your daughter won't mind giving up her current bed for something from here! http://www.geobaby.com/directory/shopping/other-shopping/art-deco-furniture/details/

I also saw a sign for a maternity line at Zara recently. Didn't get a chance to look at any of it, but it should be reasonably priced and fairly fashionable.

I am very jealous of you 13 week +ers! I am just hoping and praying every day that everything works out well! This will be our first.
 
I'm 18 weeks now and have gained 5 kgs (what's that in lbs???). Anyway, am hoping that I do not gain more than what I did with my first one ....... but this time I have not been exercising at all and dr advised me to take things easy too...... yikes !!!
Also felt the baby move 2 days ago. Donkey - normally during 2nd pregnancy we're supposed to feel the baby earlier (from what I've read / been told) cos we've already experienced it before and know what it feels like, so it's easier to detect movement.
Kmalia, thanks for the info on kids' furniture.... will definitely check it out. Also, can't wait to check out Zara's maternity, didn't know they had that range. Which Zara did u see that? I used to buy regular Zara at one size larger for my previous pregnancy....they have fairly nice stuff and it doesn't burn a hole in my pocket.
Well, good luck to everyone with their pregnancy. Enjoy it and everything will turn out well.

I saw a sign in the front window of Zara IFC for maternity wear. I can't wait until I have the chance to wear it!
 
5kgs is about 11lbs and that's about my gain at 18 weeks as well. Now at 22 weeks I've gain about 7kgs/15 lbs. I just don't even notice it anymore. Still, I am slightly trepidacious about the last few "uncomfortable" months when you are really big and offbalanced. Also, seeing girls on the street wearing skinny jeans makes me miss my pre-pregnacy figure. :frown:

I agree that ZARA maternity sounds enticing! When does it debute?
 
Thanks MotherOF2. I hope I can feel the movement soon!

I am now into my 19 weeks and have gain around 3kg... I have been exercising so I guess it keeps me from gaining too much weight in one go!
 
Hi Donkey - what exercise have you done? I was trying to be real careful during my first trimester so walking was my only form of exercise. But now that I am on my 13th week, I am desperate for some exercise.. Just feel sooooo fat.. and the belly feels so tight, like a balloon that is going to burst. I've gained about 3kg now..
 
Hi Lieny - I basically am very active before may pregnancy so I continue running, swimming, spinning and doing some weights training at the gym all through to now. If you are not a runner before it is not adviced to start a new running program. Swimming is the best as you feel light in the water and you can still do some hard sets without feeling overheated. All i cut down is the duration of the exercise and the intensity. I didn't have any morning sickness in my first trimester so am pretty lucky and I found exercise helps me to take my mind off my growing tummy. I think I will change to walking when I start to feel a bit uncomfortable at running but it will take another month I guess.
I was doing all my long runs and rides in the first 8 weeks (over 2 hours) in summer while I didn't know that I was pregnant, but was pretty lucky that everything was ok.
