It's totally fine and in fact very lucky too! I have no appetite for food but at the moment no vomitting which I consider as a blessing.

Hi Urbanfairy,
I'm with Dr Anne Hagarty.
She's my family gynae :D
My cousins and nephews/nieces are all delivered by her.
Very nice lady.
But i may be looking at other options cos i have a super tight budget.

How about u?
Which gynae u visiting?
 
Hi mummies/mummies-to-be!

I just found out I was pregnant on Boxing Day. Missed my period for a week and somehow got a hunch I could be pregnant. Tested with 2 kits and I'm pretty sure I really am haha. Haven't made appt with any gynae yet but I'm keen on delivering at Mount A. Any good gynaes to recommend?

You ladies are the first other than my hubby to know this good news!

Now I'm feeling slightly edgy about announcing the news to my friends and family too early. Anyone has this pantang rule not to announce until 2nd trimester?

Hello! Congrats! Mm actually is more like to wait till everything is more stable then announce rather than pantang.

I did tell my closer friends and colleagues cause I need to climb up and down and wouldn't be convenient now.

Anyone with natural pregnancy taking both duphaston and progynova pills?

Natural pregnancy here taking duphaston. supposed to take twice daily but it's causing me to be inefficient and practically vomiting all day, so I am taking only once per day.

I m taking both and I read that progynova may cause mc and is more for ivf patients. But I was given to take twice a day.
 
e ms is getting worse day by day. at 8w4d now, almost every meal is a torture... can i chk if puking out helps alleviate e ms feeling? i have been avoiding puking so far.

I m at 5th week and only feels very very bloated. No ms yet.
Last pregnancy I puked a lot too...definitely feels better getting it out! Drink warm water or peppermint tea to sooth.
 
YES definitely better to vomit - but fear of dehydration or malnutrition so please monitor. i have been vomiting after every meal and even with drinks... at this rate i need to check myself in for drips already :(

ya if puking it out makes u feel better, by all means. But just remain hydrated.

I try to take small but frequent meals to minimise the effect of ms. Mine also the worse hit during the evenings.

Totally had no appetite these few days, worst part is i'm having flu and sore throat. T.T Think i'm too heaty or something. I did some reading online and seems like meds are really off limits cause 1st tri is so important for baby's development. Relying on vit c and honey lemon water to get better. Sian max. Long weekend but didn't manage to enjoy any of it.

After eating, feel so uncomfortable..... :(

i am very prone to flu and cough too, so i started drinking warm infused honey lemon water every morning n take fruits in e evening to build up e vit c. in any case, you try infusing your own honey with lemon... its less acidic and taste as great as just squeezing e lemon inside e honey water. let me know if you want to diy, i can assist u. i hope you get well soon...

Yeah I also feel heaty then my MIL brew some barley for me. But better don't drink too much cause not advisable. Can drink honey water too. I drank honey and feel better. My flu is funny, suddenly strike and I try to heal on its own. I used 'gui hua gao' and apply and suddenly like two or three days later the stuffy nose is gone.

I didn't take any vitamin pills cause some will make me more heaty. Will you constipate since heaty? Can try and drink yakult. I don't have constipation yet but I will drink one sometimes. Baby likes yakult haha! Maybe a little bit sour too..

Sip water in between with a straw if gulping water makes you nauseated.

Maybe now you don't like rice! I suddenly stop liking rice and Chinese food at week 5-6.

I worry when I feel sick and don't eat too. So I try different ways.

I try to eat some plain biscuit, plain bread and plain porridge. Cannot finish a few mouthful I feel sick then I stop. Then I will drink Milo. So far Milo works for me, whenever I feel hungry and starting to feel nauseated because of hunger but no appetite for food, I'll make some warm Milo.

Don't feel hungry also can nibble abit. One small biscuit I took forever to eat but at least manage to eat something. So I can eat as little as one piece of bread a day and few cups of Milo only.

My gynae says it's normal. Whatever you feel like eating just eat. It is to sustain mama. I totally stop Chinese cuisine for 2 weeks then slowly I managed to eat a little bit more..

Whatever soupy or bland (e.g guey tiao soup) which people will usually choose when stomach feels sick, I've tried but ended up wasting food and money. I feel nauseated after eating too.

I still eat McDonald's and drink some cold drinks but I do watch. Maybe just half a cup of green tea for example and mix some water cause I don't like very sweet drinks.

I know we should avoid oily food and maybe spicy but I'll try whatever it can stay in my stomach for now. Nutrition factor can come in the later part hahahaa

Thanks for the tip! I think i'll buy more fruits home.. since no appetite, maybe fruits will help. Oh yes i'm squeezing lemon inside my honey water too! Helps my sore throat, but flu not so much.. So hard to sleep at night with a stuffy nose. I woke up last night at 3.30, 5.30 then finally decided to sleep in the hall.. Hopefully it gets better in the next few days.

I don't have constipation yet, but I think i'm not eating enough veg and drinking enough water. Drinking plain water makes me feel a bit.... i don't know how to explain. Like there's this.. taste in my mouth that i don't really like. Super weird! Feel like my tastebuds are suddenly so sensitive.

Metallic taste? Then drink some other water. Honey works then drink honey water. Don't make it too sweet can already :)

Yeah bowels will slow down because not eating enough. That's what I have too. I even try sucking and biting on lemon slices to get rid of the nausea feeling.

OH! Can you drink Ribena? I drank that too.

thank you for the advice @zzeesays. i am also surviving on warm milo n try to dip it with some biscuits (so ta piah), warm honey lemon works for me too.
i seriously dont know what i like now.. like everything just doesn't appeal to me now.. i still remember when i first tested positive, appetite was so good and i could finish a whole bowl of plain rice..

Yes yes me too! I always eat a lot but wow suddenly one day I just feel nauseated lol.

Gotta try and error. I tried many different food like boiled potato, potato salad, coleslaw, guey tiao, beehoon, chicken rice, potato leaves, cereal prawns, ban mian, beancurd (like laoban). Oily or bland all try lol

And don't eat a lot at one go, I learned my lesson. Now one packet of economic beehoon, I had to break down into a few portion and eat.

Haha can try the Meiji plain biscuit as well. The dark blue de. Small and many slices in a small packet.

If nothing works, fall back to Milo. I can drink 4-5 packets of Milo a day hahaha
 
My friend told me to get the eu yan seng ginger slice to make ginger tea when I feel nausea. I went to 3 branches but it's always sold out. Tried making my own ginger tea and not only does it taste horrible, it didn't work. I think just got to hang on for 4 more weeks until first tri is over. :(

Haha I made 3-in-1 de but always put half a packet and make in those cup for soup. So it's a mega size and dilute it cause whole bag in small cup is way too sweet for me.

Yeah I also scare will be too heaty but the way I've been drinking so far is okay. Maybe because it's big and not thick so it's okay!

I just need the taste of Milo to keep the nausea away.

Hello to all mummies and mummies-to-be! I'm expecting my first pregnancy.
Qns: How do you decide on your gynae? I went to one random gynae to confirm my pregnancy and now, I don't know where to start to look for a gynae that will support me to full term.

Hi!

Would like to seek your advice. I had been feeling (menstrual type) cramps since last night, with rather sore backache, with no spotting. Shld I go consult my gynae or u guys think I can wait it out?

Also, any of you invested in a doppler? Any idea the cost and where to purchase in SG? Thanks all!!

Mild cramp is normal and usually not dangerous if it doesn't come with spotting. But if it worries you, you should see a gynae asap to get a peace of mind. When is your appointment?
I read that its not easy to use a doppler as it pick out any sound that is in your body including blood flowing into the placenta. Maybe you can post on the marketplace group in this forum. There are probably mummies who are looking to sell their 2nd hand doppler
