Week #19 (EDD)


This week's research for me is pretty interesting. Every week I'm learning something new! Whee~

My baby's estimated due date is in September and if he is born on the actual Estimated Due Date, that will make him a Virgo baby. I'm gonna sound like some crazy horoscope enthusiast but I want to remember the thoughts that go through my mind during this pregnancy so I'll just say it haha.

I personally havent had any bad experiences with a Virgo but 5 of my very close friends had Virgo ex boyfriends and the boys seem to have a similar trait. Hmmmmm.....??? When I mentioned this whole horoscope thing to them 5 out of 5 of them were like "No don't be a Virgo, nooooo!" Haha. Anyhows, I have nothing against the Virgos really but of course, I would prefer my baby a Libra. Why? Because I'm a Libra myself and proud of it! I've said it before but I'll say it again, I have met a lot of Libras in my life and I like most Libras a lot! I'm just biased.....haha. Ok I don't really believe in it 100% but I think it's quuuuuite true to a certain extent. But it's not like ill love my baby any lesser if he is born a Virgo la!!! Don't come and flame me for it ah!

So anyway, if I can go a week past my EDD, my baby can be a Libra! My favorite signs are Libra, Gemini and Aquarius! :) So.... I started reading up on people giving birth a week after their Estimated Due Date and it's common! I always thought baby would arrive no later than the EDD but am glad this week's research taught me something new that the baby can arrive after 40 weeks.

Your EDD is around 40 weeks, most women give birth around 38-42weeks!

Here are some more information I found online...


To calculate your due date, your doctor will take the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), and add 280 days (the equivalent of 40 weeks). For example, if your last period started on September 1, your due date would be June 7. This method assumes that your period arrives like clockwork every 28 days. If your cycles are longer, you're likely to deliver later than your due date; if they're shorter, expect to deliver earlier.

A first-trimester sonogram is more trustworthy. Your doctor measures the length of the fetus and size of the gestational sac.

But even if your doctor can pinpoint your due date with laserlike precision, don't expect your baby to show up right on schedule. Because, for all the windows into your womb, no one really understands what triggers labor.

If you're a first-time mom, look at your mother's childbirth history. "If your mother delivered one week past her due date, you are more apt to deliver one week past your due date as well."

Once you've passed your due date, you may wonder whether your baby will arrive later than 42 weeks, or post-term. While Caucasian women tend to have slightly longer pregnancies, as do women under 30, no one knows why some babies take their own sweet time. However, your baby's gender could be a clue: One study found that boy fetuses are more likely to go beyond their due date than girls.




(Reading that last sentence gave me more hope hahaha)


That's not the most important lah, ultimately i pray baby will be born in good health with no complications. But yeah, it'll a be nice if he is a Libra like his mummy!! Hehe. Stay in my tum tum longer baby boy!


This Week's Food Cravings: 
Edamame, Pessimons, Cherry Tomatoes


HOW HEALTHY!!! So proud of myself! May my cravings stay this healthy...it'll do my body good! :)


Still feeling sluggish this week...wonder when I'll get my energy back. Or is it not coming back?!?! :(

I LOVE KOSÉ

Since my last break out from using a BB Cream, i stayed away from it because i didn't want to go through the horrible phase of clogged pores again.

However, when I was given the KOSÉ SEKKISEI range to try out, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BB CREAM. Honestly speaking, i didn't expect myself to be such a HUGE KOSÉ fan but i am now a convert after trying the range for myself.




When you apply the KOSÉ SEKKISEI White BB CREAM on your skin, it feels so light and barely there - really different from other BB Creams which are usually much thicker. It makes my complexion look so radiant and flawless! It is really light so don't expect heavy coverage from it. It is really suitable for every day use because i used it every day for 1 week straight! No break outs, no clogged pores!!! It's been almost 1 month since i started using it, i'm almost done with it and definitely getting myself another!


The KOSÉ SEKKISEI White BB CREAM contains SPF40/PA+++. It cares for the skin while covering blemishes and dullness naturally. A whitening BB cream with oriental plant extracts, creating lasting beautiful, translucent skin. It is available in 2 shades, 01 Light Natural Skin Tone and 02 Natural Skin Tone. I am using shade 02 but am considering to switch to shade 01 when i get my next bottle. It is priced at $39/bottle which i think is really reasonable for such a good product!

The other 2 products are Sunscreens.



You can use it on your face or body. For me, i use the BB Cream on my face and the KOSÉ SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Gel on my body. A lot of people don't like applying sunscreen on their body because of the sticky feeling, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. This product does not leave that greasy eekie feeling at all! It is absorbed by your skin immediately and it is so light. There’s SPF50+/PA++++. It protects your skin from the harmful UV damage and also hydrates your skin like a moisturizer. This can also be used as a make up base if you don't want to use a BB Cream. The KOSÉ SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Gel is retailing at $50.

There's another Sunscreen in this range which is the KOSÉ SEKKISEI Sun Protect Essence Milk. It is a milky sunscreen with an emulsion formula and oriental plant extracts. Just like the Gel, it has SPF50+/PA++++. The Milk one is Waterproof which means you can apply it and go swimming or before you go do outdoor activities which will make you perspire! I would recommend the Gel for everyday use and the Milk on days you will be doing outdoor sports. The milk is also very light and non-sticky but i personally like the texture of the Gel better for everyday use.

Psst. KOSÉ would like to reward all my readers!!! The 1st 300 people who quote “Tammy Tay” and show a screenshot of this blog post (on your mobile phones) at any KOSÉ Robinsons or Isetan counter will get an extra 2pc skincare sample with purchase of any KOSÉ SEKKISEI regular-sized product (exclude sundries).
Be sure to Like KOSÉ FB AND IG first okay!

Week #18



Baby Bump (actually this was taken in Week 17 but a few days doesn't matter right? haha)
22 more weeks to go. I think i look much bigger than i actually am because I'm wearing white! Hehe cheat one.

I've been craving a lot of sweet stuff this week. Donuts, macaroons, chocolates...you name it! And yes, I gave in. But but but I went to the gym 3 times this week. Yay me.


The amount I'm eating is scary so I better burn some calories. Not whining about the weight gain AGAIN but my doctor mentioned that I gained a little too much weight the past few weeks so I've to try to control that. As gaining too much weight isn't good for the baby and I. At this rate I'm going, I might gain 30-35kg at the end of my pregnancy lol! Sounds so impossible but it's not especially when you are pregnant with a humongous appetite. Not only will it be tough to shed the "baby weight" after pregnancy, there might be complications so i can't gain too much in a short period of time. Believe it or not, I've gained almost 7-8kg to date :O Haha. I blame my love for food and the "free pass" I gave myself during my pregnancy. Loving it so much and secretly enjoying this period though! Every night before I sleep I look forward to the next day's meal...it's like all I look forward to is to EAT! Hahaha. However, i need to cut down on all the junk food ASAP. All the sweet stuff ain't gonna do me any good. Plus it'll put me at risk for diabetes. SELF-CONTROL~~~ I can't wait to get everything settled and start staying home so i can cook at home. Right now I'm so busy with doing up the new place I hardly have time to whip up a good meal. Maybe in future ill post recipes? Wow wow I alr feel so motherly hahaha


When I was in Bangkok, the bell boy at the hotel asked me if I was pregnant! He has been seeing me since i was like 16...so i think the weight gain is pretty obvious haha. Anyway, that's a first and it made me...happy?! When I take the mrt/bus now, i can sit at the priority seat without getting stomped right? Haha. 

When i flew to Bangkok a few friends asked if one is actually allowed to take the plane during pregnancy.

I called my doctor and did my research and here's the information i found.

Is it safe to fly during pregnancy?

It is ok to fly up to 36 weeks of pregnancy if you are healthy and do not face any pregnancy complications.

If you're healthy and have no obstetric problems, you and your baby should have no trouble in the pressurized cabin of a commercial airliner. You don't need to worry about X-ray scanners at airport security – you're unlikely to exceed exposure limits unless you're a frequent flier or part of a flight crew.

During the flight, the best thing to do is make yourself as comfortable as you can. Request a seat in the middle of the plane over the wing for the smoothest ride or a bulkhead seat for more legroom. Reserve a seat on the aisle so you can get up easily to go to the bathroom or just walk around and stretch.

Pregnant women who sit still for long periods of time are at increased risk of developing blood clots, so walk around the cabin at least once an hour. You can also stretch and flex your feet and legs in your seat every 30 minutes. Wearing maternity support panty hose (not knee-highs) helps keep the blood moving in your legs and reduces your risk of clots and swollen feet.
When seated, keep your seatbelt fastened – under your belly and low on your hips – at all times. Also, drink plenty of fluids (especially water) to minimize the dehydrating effects of dry cabin air. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it's best to avoid drinking coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks before and during the flight.
