Due Oct-Dec 08??

I tend to be a really "Don't worry about anything" kind of person (I think it's an Aussie thing - she'll be right, mate!!) - and I've gotta be honest, I'm not worried about my baby having any diseases... I mean, I figure - either it does or doesn't - and there's nothing I can do about it either way! And the "chance" that it does is sooo small anyway - so why waste my energy worrying about it??

I've lost about 3kg (7lb) since I found out I was pregnant!! But my tummy is heaps more round, particularly at night!! Does anyone else find that? At night, before I go to bed, I feel HUGE - but then in the morning, my tummy has disappeared again!! I asked my hubby if he thought it was all in my imagination and he says it's not - it's seriously about 4 times as big at night!! Craziness...

By the way, in case you are not aware, every August, there is a huge Baby Fair held at the Convention Centre. Lots of things like toys, diapers, formula, strollers, grobags, bumbo seats etc. go on sale there, so you might want to hold off shopping until you go to the fair. Don't know the dates yet though.

hey bubbly!!!

there was one similar kind of fair at ASIA WORLD EXPO last week.......but there was nothing on sale.
can u please let us all updated about the august fair........as i never heard about it.

thanks

baby bump that dissapears

Nicole - I totally know what you mean! So glad to hear it's not all in my head! When I go to bed I have a serious belly and in the morning - it's completely flat...weird!

hi Ruchee,

The one you went to last week is a TRADE Fair, that is why you did not really find anything there, as it's all manufacturers and factories targetting buyers from overseas.

The one I mentioned in August is THE baby fair of the year and it's huge! Last year, they had 150,000 people visiting. This fair is a retail fair so you can buy things at a discount. Will keep you all updated when I have the dates.

There is also another fair organised by Parents Journal coming up on 17th & 18th May, but it is an Education Fair so am not sure whether there are any bargains or not. Have never been to this one but will have a look this year!

Thanks Bubbly!!!!!!

I am really looking forward for it.....by that time i'll enter in my 3rd trimester.......if everything goes well:flower:

Bubbles and Nicole, I also have the feeling my baby bump is disappearing! I guess I tend to look bloated in the evening and in the morning everything's fine! It's so frustrating!

Today, I am celebrating the end of the 16th week!
Next scan in 5 weeks (last one was 3 weeks ago), it seems so long, like time has stopped...


Is there a dinner being planned, the link I clicked on in one of bubbles' post didn't work...

Maman - Congrats on reaching the end of the 16th week. I in my 17th week and the 2nd tri seems to be going way quicker than the first, which just dragged!

Nicole - I'm with you on the stomach thing too, altlhough I wouldn't say it's totally flat in the mornings ;-) I hardly fit into any of my jeans now so am thinking I may have to buy some mat gear soon...yikes!!!!

Hello to everyone else xxx

 

[nicolejoy]

People aren't offering me their seats on the MTR yet I'll KNOW I look pregnant when THAT starts happening

Has that happened for any of you guys yet???

 

[PurpleFlower]

I've had a couple!! Normally when I'm wearing maternity wear - didn't think it made it look that much different! They're all pretty casual looking stuff..?! But, then sometimes when I'm really tired, I just wish someone would offer me a seat

 

[nicolejoy]

Me too - I already WISH I could sit down on every MTR because I get so tired and I don't feel like standing... maybe I should start wearing maternity wear. I totally don't need it though... although I do notice that my skirts that used to sit on my hips now sit closer to my belly button!!
