For first-time mummies Zoe Tay and May Phua, pregnancy is a beautiful experience for them. The process has been more difficult for Best Actress Ivy Lee, who had to carry twin boys and film Double Happiness II for several months. This is IvyÂ’s second pregnancy; she has a young daughter already in primary school.
May PhuaÂ’s thoughts on pregnancy
May: Yes, IÂ’m starting to be nervous and scared! IÂ’ve been told itÂ’ll be very painful as itÂ’s my firstborn and the labour pains will be longer. IÂ’m slightly anaemic so I faint easier, especially recently since I entered my last trimester.
My hubby and friends tell me to have someone with me at all times in case I faint or have an early delivery, but I love going out shopping or to the movies, and IÂ’m alone during these excursions. I havenÂ’t been recognized in my baseball cap so far.
ItÂ’s been a very good rest; though IÂ’m a bit bored. Motherhood is a new challenge and also a major role for me. IÂ’ve never expected to be pregnant so soon, but since the babyÂ’s here, IÂ’m going to make sure I do it well. How many kids? Haha I donÂ’t know, but I wonÂ’t stop at one!
Ivy Lee on working on Double Happiness II during pregnancy
Ivy: I think IÂ’ve an affinity with things that come in two: like Double Happiness, my twins, and even my seat number in the TV Theatre for Star Awards was 11. Maybe my babies brought me good luck and I won Best Actress; people who are superstitious will think so, but I believe I worked hard too.
It was tough filming Double Happiness II; when I think back on it, I think I was pretty gungho. Being pregnant is tedious enough, but imagine being pregnant with twins and continue filming at the same time. I didnÂ’t want to reveal earlier that IÂ’m carrying twins because the scriptwriters had already changed the script for me, I didnÂ’t want the production crew to get too stressed up on my condition..
How Ivy felt when she found out sheÂ’s carrying twins I was very surprised! I went for my pap smear not knowing I was pregnant. I missed my menstruation but I did a pregnancy test kit and it was negative. It was only after my doctor did my pap smear that I found out I was pregnant with not one, but two babies! I never expected it. I do worry about having twin boys, since boys are harder to bring up. But I think my daughter, whoÂ’s in primary school, can help me with them.
Zoe TayÂ’s thoughts on her pregnancy
Zoe: The pregnancy process is fun; I never thought being pregnant will be so enjoyable! I experience something new at every stage and every day. I feel very happy, and IÂ’m basking in this miracle. Even though my husband is working overseas, I still feel very contented and satisfied with my baby with me.
My baby is beginning to respond like kicking, and IÂ’m learning how to communicate with him. I learn that a baby can do somersaults in the motherÂ’s womb, about his sleeping hours, how to comfort him, and how he responds to the voices and music around himÂ…
I play classical music to my baby and talk and sing songs like The More We Are Together in Mandarin and English to him. It doesnÂ’t matter if he understands; whatÂ’s important is that babies can feel their motherÂ’s voice.
Friends like Ivy Lee, Pan Lingling and Hong Huifang now tease me that I can finally join in their mummy group. Previously, when they invite me out on their family outings, I’d say ‘No no no, you’re bringing your kid along, so troublesome. You guys go ahead, don’t ask me along. End up go theme park lah, then the kids want to have their nap, so boring.’ Now they are laughing at me and welcoming me.
But IÂ’m looking forward to it! ItÂ’s a different lifestyle and experience. The whole pregnancy process has been very fun and IÂ’m very happy.

The reasons why Zoe Tay was wearing a "curtain" on Star Awards because (I think) her Breasts has grown to Cup D. Cannot find a suitable bra. On normal days, she has quite good figure already. So now pregnant, become very very busty.
