qqbma: Congratulations!!! Met you the other day in the toys room and you didn't tell me that you are pregnant! No wonder you said I didn't check the postings for a long time la! Really happy for you!
I also want a second bb also because of the reason that I don't want Clement to be alone with not much relatives when he gets old and both me and my husband will leave him one day. So I really want to plan for one, but I have so much consideration: I don't want to give birth in winter, in Chinese July, and I probably wants to be sometimes between Mar to July. But then I think I have missed the chance for this year la! Also I have some problems with my hubby in the last few months and doesn't seem to be the right mood to have a baby now! May be just wait and see.
babycookie,
If you want, you still have chance to give birth by end of 2006. Deliver baby at winter time is very good. When I was in sitting months last yr from Oct to early Jan, the cold weather is good for eating many 保品, so my body recover better than before. If deliver in summer, say this time, I will deliver in May, I wonder whether I can eat some 保品. You are very skinny, remember to eat more 保品 next time.
Garytai,
Talking about the second baby's delivery month, I also consider not giving birth when man yin entering nursery, that is around 06 Nov to 07 Feb. If you plan to delivery later, I suggest you just avoid those months when him him start entering school, nursery or K1. That is also one of the reasons why I choose to give birth earlier.
garytai, yes ah, I will consider the month ah! just as qqbma said.
qqbma, i was worried that giving birth in the winter will means that i have to wake up in the middle of the winter night, that's a very difficult job!! Also I am scared that bb will be easily get cold since i am a very slow motion person when changing diapers and showering! you reminded me that i should not give birth when Clement is entering N1 or K1! Good point -- so one more constraint!! leaving me less choice la! ha ha! I don't think you can't take "Bo bun" in summer. but i didnt take when clement was born because i had a c-section.
loumaomao, yes ah, we did walk by T6 last week with our brown Cocker Spaniel. Clement wanted to go into the playground and unfortunately my husband stopped him and he did not cry, otherwise Cookie would have been tied in the post to wait for us and this is poor for him! Hope to see you next time la!
Miranda,
Do you still vomit? I still vomit every morning until 黃胆水 come out. :-( :-( I eat a lot of dried ginger to control this feeling, not much appetite to eat. I am very sensitive to smell now.
I also had morning sickness before when I had Duncan and Lesley. When I started to brush my teeth, the smell of tooth paste made me to vomit. Try to eat evething that you want this moment. You need to take what you want however my doctor always reminded me that BB does not need to much. He alerted me that Ma Mi will getting fat. But I think that you need to keep yourself heathly. Keep eating the stuff with more vitamin, such as fresh fruit, vegetable but eating less bread, rice or noddle. Because all this stuff will trun to fat to your body instead of absort by your BB.
Hey, our gathering will have more nioise later lah......
Miranda,
你就好la, no vomit. My feeling still not good. Up till now, I don't have any preference to food, just as usual, but I need strong taste, especially salty things. If the food is less taste, I will have vomit feeling and can not eat. 話梅,陳皮and many unhealthy snacks I tried. Only dried ginger and potates chips can help me relieve vomit.
Duncanmama,
thanks yr advice. I found some difference between Chinese doctor & Western doctor. Chinese doctor asked me to eat more rice because rice can generate more blood in my body. He said I don't have enough blood so I feel weak. Western doctor asked me not to eat too much rice, noodles, bread, just as you said. For myself, I only eat what I want, depends on my appetite at that time, really I can not control myself now, I eat as I need, I vomit as I want.
qqbma,
What? You eat potato chips??? I liked potato chips, too. But I cut it now. Are you now near to the 4th months? Your vomit will pass away very soon.
I saw you last sunday afternoon while you were going to go out with your husband and your daughter in the 9th tower's lobby. You look good!! I hadn't called you because I was holding my daughter back home. She's too heavy and was asleep. I couldn't wait to back home as soon as possible. take care of yourself!! I don't eat any vitamins. My doctor said that I have enough storage wow!! He wanted to say that I am fat!! I remember last time, I didn't eat many vitamins and even because my job is too busy that I always forgot to take them!! I'd rather to get the minerals from food. You know I am fat and I eat many!!
