2016/05 ( May) babies

woke up today just craving for Din Tai Fung's braised beef noodles! I hope we can eat tt cuz I nearly swallowed the bowl down as well.. anyone with super strong cravings? I cannot stomach anything but soupy noodles
Soupy noodles is also my favourite. As Long as it's soupy, I can eat it everyday.

I got both strong aversion plus strong cravings. Was craving for my mother's soupy noodle the other day until I can taste it before I sleep. Lol. Fortunately, my mother made it for me the next day and that was the most I ate in these few weeks!

it's like an obsession right! I do crave for food before but ever since this week started I start to obsess over certain food I want to eat hahaha

Lol. Yahhhh.. it is! But lucky never crave things from far away or strange things. Lol. My cravings got stronger recently too. I think maybe it's our body telling us what we need.
 
Hi mummies, i jz got back from my gynea, thank God everything is fine. Can see the baby and hear the heartbeat too.

Thanks for all your positive msgs..

@Michy_Michelle i believe there's already a wa and fb group created for may 2016 mummies. I have pm-ed the admin but yet to hear back from her. Maybe any mummy here know ànother admin ?

me too! I have nightmares too due to mc in June.. when I had no morning sickness I was worried too but now that I'm having it I feel halfdead! such a paradox.. when I feel well I also worry. I think we just need to try to relax as much as possible and not think too much.. that's what my husband keep telling me. jiayou!
I heard it's normal to hv on-off ms... i din hv much too when i work but more off work. partly psychological i think.
My cravings not good... i only yearn for burger fries and pizzas pastas. not healthy so forcing myself proper rice if i can daily. Boy i wish to hv home cooked food.
 
Any mommy

Oh my god.. Same here.. I looking for all the soup and noodle.. Will drink up all the soup.. My colleagues think I am weird but they don't know what happened.. Hehe..

I can't go hungry.. Once I'm hungry I want to vomit.. But I don't eat a lot each meal but need more meals.. Weight wise, didn't increase..
 
Im going overseas next week (booked before BFP haha). Any mummies know can i walk through the security scans at the airport? Thanks!
 
i know a lot of ladies have spotting throughout pregnancies, I have faith that our bbs will do well!

Yes..no worries..n stay positive..I do hav gf ard me that spotted during early pregnancy...they r holding their precious in their hands now...

Most imptly is alert gynaes n check things out fast..if supports r needed,go for it..else if things r fine...can better enjoy the pregnancy...

Fighting all!:D
 
I m at my 7w now. Started nausea in 5w. Last 2 days seems very mild or no nausea. I m worried when I dont have the symptoms. Yesterday night got nightmare that i started to bleed heavily. The feel is so real when i woke up. I think i am going crazy soon. Very paranoid due to i have mc back in jan.


Oh mine... dun b ya...stay positive & hav faith with ur little one fighting inside in...days tt I hav no symptoms n was worried,I jus used my cheapie but highly reliable hpt to test it out n compare with previous hpt....tt assured me quite alot n is a cheap way...blood test of coz is more accurate but doctor will not encourage us to do it jus for assurance...hav u seen ur little one hb?

Hang on & stay faithful...fighting!:D
Ur mood is also impt during pregnancy...

Hi, I am 10weeks 6 days today, Edd 02 May 2016.
I went overseas earlier this week and no problem with going through the airport scans. But you might want to inform your gynae before you fly. I told mine and he gave me progesterone jab the day before I fly for just in case. Because he said that it's safer to fly in second trimester.

By the way, I went for ultrasound yesterday and the fetus was kicking and waving! So cute!
 
Any gynae recommendation for Mt E Novena & Mt A?

Any reviews on Irene Chua & Roland Chieng?
I have seen Dr. Tho Chin Keong and Dr. Henry Cheng for this pregnancy. They are very nice and friendly gynae and delivers at Mt E Novena and Mt A.
Prices for consult, scans and meds are reasonable. I am sticking to Dr. Tho for delivery because I seen him for my MC earlier this year.
 
Any mummies know if we are allowed to take manuka honey? Ive been struggling with eczema and i find taking normal honey helps.. i was juz wondering if i can 'upgrade ' to manuka?

Isit good for bun development too?

Read online that it's fine to take. I personally am taking cos I'm having a cough and sore throat.
 
Hi all,

We're at the stage to start thinking about the DS tests, anyone have any views around this? Lots to take into consideration here :/

Hi Lavitaz,
Our edd is a day apart! Mine is 3 May.

My morning sickness took a break last Thursday, which scared me out of my wits. But Friday onwards it has been at the worst. I want to vomit the entire day and I can't eat much at all.

Cool! Just 1 day apart! My ms is slightly better for the past 2-3 days ( touch wood!). And I am still on utrogestan twice daily. I have to eat very small meals every 2-3 hours to reduce the nausea etc. And only bland food. Oily food makes me sick. The Wang Wang rice crackers are my Best Friend for now.

Bleeding gums also scared me as well.

We have 2 more weeks to go! Jia you!!

My bleeding gums seem to become worse.. Want to see dentist but so unmotivated cos of my ms.. Thinking to go when my ms subside. I can literally taste blood all day :(((
 
Not our first visit. Previously we visited him when my wife has bleeding. After which we are given 'D' med and maintain until now. Last sat, told there is no heartbeat, therefore go tmc for a through check. Ended up they did a ultrasound and conclude no heartbeat too.

Thanks for this! I was actually going to ask the same as I have upcoming trip early Nov. Tmr is my first gynae visit. Praying for the best!
 
I'm very tempted to take harmony as well! But my Gynae advised me to do oscar first and see how..

Means u will know Ur baby gender very very soon! Probably the first among us!
Your gum bleeding sounds a bit more than mine. Mine bleeds a lot whenever I brush my teeth but will stop after that.

I am very excited about the harmony test. Because I had miscarriage earlier this year, I am very paranoid everyday and hopes that the test result will be Low risk.
As for the gender, I kept dreaming that I am having a baby girl. Do you have such dreams too?
 
First visit to the gynae will be so exciting! All the best to you! I had mine at 8 weeks and is lucky to hear the heartbeats.

I moved my gynae appointment a bit earlier as I'm having bad nausea plus my tummy so gassy and having acid reflux, wonder if gynae can give meds to relieve it? I try not to worry cause I had mc last May also o_O

I heard gum bleeding is normal during 1st tri too.

Which Adrian are you referring to? Adrian Tan or Adrian Woodworth?

Are you considering a second opinion? What happened to me was I went to Adrian Tan for 3 visits. 1st visit he did a abdominal scan based on my LMP and said not looking good. Did blood test. 2nd visit he did blood test and told me my levels looks ok. 3rd visit he did another abdominal scan (supposedly in my 7th week already), and he told me not looking good - sac is elongated, and empty. cannot find anything inside. Didn't prescribe me any forms of medication, just asked me to go home and pray and come back 2 weeks later. If 2 weeks later still cannot find anything then he will ask me to remove the baby.

I refused to believe it and I headed to Dr Tony Tan from Raffles Hospital for a second opinion. understand that he is specialised in fetal scanning. Within 10 minutes of consultation, he managed to locate my baby and even showed me the heartbeat. Told me everything is fine and prescribed me with duphaston to reduce the chances of miscarriage.

Have faith!

I had miscarriage this year in June too. I'm so paranoid too but I rather play safe. Had Gynae visits weekly up to week 9. I even bought a fetal doppler..

I don't have dreams of gender! Hehe. But I'm secretly hoping to have a girl, though my husband wants a boy cos we already have a girl and she's 2 yo now.

I'm also paranoid too... everyday worry about bb not growing, no heartbeat too coz of recurrent miscarriages. no symptoms also worry, spotting also worry. No prior success so dunno what shd be considered normal.
wanted to buy fetal doppler but I thought what can I do if there's nothing i can do. My gynae after seeing me 2 days in a row (I was paranoid) said dun wanna see me till 2weeks later. I take it as consolation that gynae has faith in my little one.
 
Just went for harmony testing. So giddy and tired. My Edd keeps moving earlier.. was in may now move to April.

Hopefully ms subsides soon.. lost 2 kg and stagnant.
 
I spent the whole day at work wondering how all of you survive work! this morning sickness is actually more like whole day sickness and I just wanted to lie down while at work. I'm taking sour sweets and orange peel and I'm basically force feeding myself all my meals..
 
Mummies who are keen to get a fetal doppler, I received mine today! It's a mini Angelsounds and I managed to hear baby's heartbeat today at 10w6d.

Is it safe to use? We wanted to hear the heartbeat during Gynae visit but she say it's too strong for something so small. But maybe coz she doing ultra sound.

I can feel you.. I always having cramp.. So there was 3 days the cramp stopped.. I was worried if baby still there.. After that the cramp came back shortly.. Think we just clam down and be happy mother although it's really hard not to be paranoid..
