View PostOne of the biggest woes of pregnancy, at least to me, is the possibility of having stretch marks. If stretch marks are inevitable, then can we minimise stretch marks? I’ve seen it on many mothers before and I don’t think I’ll enjoy having even more than what I already have on me. :/ When I found out I was pregnant and during the 1st Trimester, the only thing I bought was stretch mark cream. I am really someone who never…
View Post… can be quite a daunting task, but one that needs to be done. Here are some pregnancy announcement ideas to share. Peter and I wanted to have it announced as subtly as possible with a nice photo… well otherwise, we could just update our Facebook Status and go “We’re pregnant”. Here are some photos the amateur in me took, edited and considered for posting on Facebook… but most didn’t quite make the cut except for one. Here are some pregnancy…
View PostWe were real excited to meet Dr Tham. It’s time for Week 16 pregnancy update and also, time to tell the gender of Baby Bean. I woke up all excited and told Baby Bean to please allow us to see if you’re a little boy or girl. We’re both hoping he’s a boy. We had our parents from both sides with us at this “mega” appointment with Dr Tham. He was so nice to welcome all 6 of us into his…

Did I do something wrong to trigger this? Have I put my baby at risk? What’s next? Just when I thought it’s going to be smooth…
View PostAs many new mothers can attest, pregnancy is no picnic. Recently I tried out Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Singapore and boy am I feeling relieved. The muscle strains of pregnancy are very real and can be more than just a nuisance. I am now experiencing backaches, aches below my belly and the occasional calf strains due to calf cramps at night. :(
View PostPregnancy is a exciting and remarkable stage of your life that involves many changes and invokes many questions. It is one of the best times in your life to get yourself a guidebook (or two!) to guide you along the way. Here’s a recommended pregnancy book to check out. After my awesome colleague knew I was preggars, she went out immediately and got me a recommended pregnancy book that she felt helped her a lot during her pregnancy. The book…
View PostPregnant as I am, but I know I need to get my ass up and start exercising. I checked out some prenatal exercises that I could participate in and decided on trying out Prenatal Pilates. I have fitness goals like increasing my metabolism, flexibility and strength that I want to achieve but haven’t been able to because I didn’t know where I could go or do besides swimming. And swimming was getting a bit boring for me, so Prenatal Pilates…
