We all learn from each other

An An ya you try that time nothing can work only Ribena .... This time round I feel very bloated

 

[mrsmorgan]

Im experiencing the same thg.. Nausea whole day, bitter after taste at the back of my tongue no matter what i eat or drink, bad appetite and cant stand the smell of food..

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

Vivimummy, i tried taking sweet, doesnt really help. Tmr maybe going to get some sour plums see can help anot. Ya, my hubby keep told me at least it shows hormones going up, means good. True lah.. but very xin ku.. =(

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

An_an,

[happymok]

[Ms's_Mummy]

[3AsMummy]

Hi newly report here.
Just tested positive. Haven't seen my gynae yet.
Just had a MC Feb and got positive again at march. Quite shocking news.
Anyone have reviews for Dr Goh shen Li at Mount A?

 

[vivimummy]

Happymok
me too lunch and dinner don't sound appealing only Mac...

Ms Mummy
try honey water or orange juice, got to trial and error to see what suits you... hopefully by second trimester the bitter after taste will be gone...

Hello 3as mummy
Welcome and congrats !

 

[LAMBE]

Hi All,

I feel bloated and constipation lately, tried yakult and it works!
dried tangerine peel can reduce nausea

 

[mqiu]

Salad and fruits agree with me. Morning ok then afternoon onwards feel like poo. But so ironic, when nausea disppears I panic. My doc also says having nausea is good cos hormone levels are high.

 

[an-an]

I think of food i want to puke sia! =( =( =( =(

Same here Ms's_Mummy.. hopefully things will turn better soon..

 

[tomago]

Just went for thalassemia test. Sigh, my family has the genes so now hope my husband don't have.

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

3AsMummy, welcome and congrats! I read many article that conceive within 6mths mc is good.

Vivimummy, yah, tried manuka honey water this morning, seems like yes n no. Lolz!

Lambe, i saw yakult in my fridge but dare not drink cuz cold.

Mqiu, i was like u. Nausea dissappear i panic. But eversince i step on 6weeks the ms was bad. My only consolation is cuz hormones going up so my ms so bad, consider good thing lah.

An-an, ya man! During my #1 my ms disappear at abt 12weeks. I hope this time will be less than 12 weeks.

Tomago, so fast test for thalassemia le ah? No worries de lah. During my #1 time also same as u. Ended up hub is minor. So no risk. Dont worry.

[BelovedVon]

Hi all blessed mummies! I just tested positive last week and this is my first! So much to learn and ask! Congrats to all the other mummies to be! My first question is how many weeks do we need to be before we make our first gynae appt? I am 5weeks today according to the pregnancy calendar.

 

[3AsMummy]

Im also thalassemia minor but hubby dont have..

I'm seeing her 17 April is it too late?
I didn't start my an tai yao just folic acid
And also becos of wad happened in Feb I don't dare to hold high hopes!

Thanks everyone

 

[happymok]

To those who is interested to look for Dr. Goh Seng Li, I went to her clinic this morning, quite a lot of people thus nurse advise me to fix appointment on weekdays but I need my hubby to accompany me thus made appointment on Saturday thus the nurse say have to wait. Today waited for about 15mins so not so bad.
Her charges for me today is around $160, as I got some diarrea, vomiting n gastric pill and a box of an tai Yao. So I think the pricing is ok as compare to KKH TPS.
She got this $880 10 visits package starting from 14 weeks onwards.

Maybe u shld check if they can give u an earlier slot. Tell them u had a mc in feb. According to ur last menses, how many weeks are u now?

 

[joannemissy]

Hi all mtb,

Have you all heard of Dr Woo Bit Hua from TMC?

Any experience to share?

Thanks!

 

[3AsMummy]

I had a ultrasound check up on 10 March but didn't show anything except for thick uterus lining which means menses coming. It should be my 1st cycle after my MC
But after 1 weeks still no menses. So I tested on 17 March. It was a faint positive so I retest again 5 days later. Strong positive. Called up gynae to fix an appt 20 days later hoping to see hb so I don't have to go visit Dr Goh so many times b4 I can officially start the package.
Till now I'm still testing the kit. Still strong positive and having alight cramps and giddy. That's all
My D&c was 3rd feb

Congrats BelovedVon, for me, i think u can actually start to book a gynae appt already (preference for male/female doc) as u may only get a appt around mid april, which by that time u might be 7-8weeks..also, u should start taking folic acid first

 

[Jokyh]

Anyone has started to develop pregnancy acne? Or face any skin detoriation?

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

Jokyh, me! Since 3 weeks ago i had pimples all over my forehead and afew on cheeks. Even male colleagues also mentioned, aiyoh y got so mamy spots like rashes. *cry!!*

 

[Ms's_Mummy]

During my #1 time, i had beautiful flawless skin. This? Whole face looks like shit.

I'm starting to have breakouts too. Very depressing!!! No idea how to deal with it. *cries*

 

[tomago]

Me too!! Pimples popping on my cheek, jaw and neck!!! Tian ah...

 

[aries123]

I'm starting to have breakouts too. Very depressing!!! No idea how to deal with it. *cries*

And me too! It's those cystic, under the skin kind that are absolutely horrid. The only redeeming grace is they are along my jaw line so ive used my hair to strategically cover them up. Its depressing but i think the morning sickness diverted some of my attention from it. Im so busy wishing my nausea away that i kinda ignore the zits for the time being

 

[Jokyh]

Any experienced moms have any advice on any effective skin care to recommend? It's so annoying!

 

[happymok]

Maybe bumpy skin = boy?

 

[mqiu]

Any experienced moms have any advice on any effective skin care to recommend? It's so annoying!

Not advisable to use products with salicylic acid. Maybe can try body shops tea tree range. Thats not bad. Unfortunately preg hormones can cause breakouts so have to tahan for awhile. I also starting abit here and there but manageable.

 

[babyjunior]

Hi mummies, can i drink milo during this period of time?

 

[happymok]

I always drink Milo.

My sister in law used to snack in between meals to prevent her from getting nausea. But I don't like to snack. At least you can take sweet stuffs after meals.

Hi both..i have the same experience ..my appetite worsen too during dinner..the thought of dinner makes me nauseous. I used to like garlic but the thought of it or just mentioning of the word already makes me feel sick. Now, i just take soup to go with rice..at least eat something. I do not have cravings yet. And mouth still feels utterly bitter..

Dun worry can catch up in 2nd and 3rd trimester. I can only eat sushi salad and fruits haha everythig else either will puke or just dun wanna eat. I have to admit im less careful with my diet cos this is no.2 haha. Only thing I dun dare to eat is mutton cos ppl say will cause fits and my family has a history of epilepsy.
