Hey MTBs,
Just wan to check...I can onli sleep on my side ever since I preggie cos veri uncomfy to sleep with my back resting on the bed..but lately realised that I dun feel any discomfort. Oso I dun feel as nauseous as I used to be. Just concerned if my bb is alright...cos last time those are the symptoms that makes me feel comforted that my bb is strong. Can't help feeling worried.

chihiro, actually, all fruits can be taken in moderation (a little of any fruit won't hurt), but the supposedly liang ones are watermelon, oranges, fragrant pears, del monte bananas, starfruits.
curly, I'm really sorry. Please take care.
Yingzi, as you progress into 2nd tri, its normal to feel much better in every aspect. Initially when my condition improved I was also very worried. Now I'm more used to it liao. I think your body is already adjusting well to the pregnancy, thats why less discomfort.

Curly,
Take care, so sorry to hear about that. God will bless you with another baby soon.
Ladies, 1st trismester end on week 13 right? and 14 weeks onwards then considered as 2nd trimester?
Chihiro, nice to see you here. hv you see a gynae? all fruits shld be able to take, but i think no pineapple..very liang. used to hv a saying in hokkien when woman menses refuse to come "bui lai jiat ong lai"..think the older folks all agree that pineapple is very liang. also dun eat grass jelly, another super liang stuff

hi curly...
sori to hear abt it. do rest well after the d&c and make sure u build up ur body...
in no time, u will be conceiving again. dun hang on to wat has happened.
but how come ur gynae performed d&c after u hv spotting? as in wat reali happened to warrant the d&c?
hi chihiro...
watermelons can be cooling as well. dun take them too often. other fruits to avoid include the delmonte kind of big bananas... and papayas as well...
yingzi...
sleeping on ur sides will ease ur discomfort.
if poss, sleep on the left, cos its supposedly better for bb... aid blood circulation or something...
and ur ms shld be starting to ease off... whh is good...
dun wori so much...

micky, yup, to be more accurate, 2nd tri starts 14th week. But then, give or take a week should be fine.
aurora, I am in very early 2nd tri now, really can't wait for my baby's first kick keke..
chihiro, to add on what I said earlier about fruit. I think micky brought up a good point about pineapples, I do take a little of all fruits (even watermelon, yum yum) but not pineapple. Better to belive than regret, besides,its not that nice haha..

Hi curly, so very sorry for your loss, pls take care.
Hi wendyl, I think maybe she meant don't use more than 1 question mark (?) in your posts.
Eg. How come?
NOT
How come???
It makes some of us very panicky. I'm also in 1st trimester only and sometimes I get more anxious after reading your questions... because of so many "???"
I know difficult when you are worried, when I had spotting my posts also very panicky... try to control lor
Hi Berry, oops I didn't know 2nd trimester starts 14th week, and I was thinking I was going to be done with 1st trimester in 2 weeks, sigh.
Ladies, how do u feel about baby-dancing? Gets both HB and I very anxious, always worried we hurt the baby
with the spasm-like contractions... I tend to feel abit crampy at lower abdomen after that

<font color="119911">wow, u gals sure talk very fast, me had a hard time catching up!!
actually me not sick lah, but feeling very tired & din sleep well that why go get MC lor
but hor, my ms seems to be getting worse leh. past 2 wks, eating dinner is like wasting $$ leh. go back i sure "donate" to toilet bowl!! arghhhhh.. and think i'm coming to wk 13 soon!! hiaz...</font>
<font color="aa00aa">curly,</font>
i'm sorry to hear that.. do rem to take care of urself okie? do hope u can join us real soon. *jia you*
<font color="aa00aa">wendyl,</font>
think u muz really go read up & gain more *basic* knowledge on pregnancy & motherhood. i really wonder if u've been following the (various) threads cos u dun know what MTB (Mother To Be)stands for.
anyway, i don't mean you can't ask qns here, but u sounds a wee bit too paranoid to most of us, i believe. so maybe it'll be good that you read up a bit, at least have some ideas then it won't make u sound too naive.
alternatively, guess u can always ask ur mum/MIL abt things to avoid, or take, etc. they might hv a better idea than us since they've been thru. also, sometimes what we hear/know is from our parents/MIL and the set of things they say we can take/cannot take might be different from the list of items ur parents/MIL tell u.
<font color="aa00aa">paserby,</font>
i think you are really very rude. not that i dun agree with you (on some issues) but i guess you don't have to be so mean. furthermore, if you dare to "critise" like you do, why don't u "dare" use ur real name?
and btw, i'm oso quite fond of using more than 1 "?" and lots of "....". hope i won't get scolded by u 1 of these days!!! *oops, more than 1 "!" used!!!*
<font color="aa00aa">chihiro,</font>
glad to see u here. so when R u going to a gynae?

mtmtmt, yeah, feel 'cheated' hor, that 2nd tri is 2 weeks later than expected..
BTW, I also have some cramping in my lower abdomen when bb dancing earlier on, but as time goes by, it seems like nowadays bb dancing dun affect me much anymore.
wendyl, keke...but that wendyl_guest's posts is the same as yours, lotsa of ????? and very long ........... maybe some prankster decided to play a trick or something to imitate you. But anyway I do think that when you type, one '?' is enough, no need to ????????, right?. and I agree with angelia, its good for you to go and read up on some basic knowledge form books, websites. Then you wun be as paranoid liao. Also, when you're free, type 'pregnancy' into yahoo search, you'll find tonnes of basic info there. Just my $0.02's, hope this helps.

Hi angelia, thanks!

wendyl, are you married? do you drive your hubby up the wall with your paranoia and behaviour??
mtmtmt, I'm seeing gynea this sat, will ask him about fibre pills.
BTW, few days ago some MTBs were saying that their prenatal vitamins make them neuseous. I came across this article on it. Do take a look if it concerns you: http://www.babycenter.com/expert/pregnancy/prenatalhealth/2076.html?ccRelLink=&url=%2Frefcap%2Fpregnancy%2Fprenatalhealth%2F270.html&xTopic=prenatphys&bus=content

Berry, I've been tardy with my multivit, it didn't make me ill, just that I tend to be so full with normal food I just can't swallow that huge pink pill
Should be ok without them cos my gynae stopped prescribing on last visit... I think with the amt I'm eating, plus my own body store, should be more than enough, heh.
I'm eating my folic n hormone pills more regularly though, those are tiny hehe, just that sometimes I sleep early and forget them.
BTW I went HV Shopping Centre and came home with 3 tops for $115! Not maternity wear but looser tops I can wear for now, and immediately post-birth. Lucky some ladies here gave tips abt getting "allowance" at bust not just waist
so I noted that. Still need to get my Zara drawstrings... I'm putting off real maternity wear as long as I can, since HB LAUGHED at me when I tried them on last time.

Lucky manage to drink 2 cups of water after my breakfast. Hope I can drink more later and go poo poo. I guess I can't drink water with empty stomach that's why throw out.

aurora, its inevitable to not feel like bb dancing, but for me, as long as doc permits, I make sure I still do it regularly with hubby cause I really believe sex is an important part of a healthy marriage.
For dryness, try using KY, it works well for me.
yeeyee, dun take ba kut teh for now, cause you dun know if the herbs are safe or not for preggies. if you have to, why not wait till you're in 2nd tri, at least pregnnacy is more stabilized.

Hi yeeyee,
I think it's ok to take bak kut teh...I took when I was about 8-9 weeks too
If you are afraid of the herbs, then take the type without the herbs one, take the one with spices and garlic...I'm a bak kut teh lover...esp like the one at rochor road...yum yum
hi adeline, really ?? so far prune juice still works for me..*scratch head*...how about drinking lots of water after drinking prune juice ?
My colleague says that if all else fail, ask the gynae to prescribe pills. I think should be similar to the fibre pills that MTMTMT mentioned above...
heee....baby dancing means having sex...

Hi yeeyee,
me used to hv constipation too, during the earlier week and I try to take fruits, at least 1-2 per day and it helps. I do understand tat some MTBs cannnot stand the prune juice. Think if din poo poo for a long time is not gd for ur health too, so best to let it off.
As for ba kut teh, read from a book tat the herbs may be harmful to bb so try not to take it for the time being...or u might want to chk with gynae. I read somewhere that stingray oso can't take but last sat hubby ordered and my MIL said ok, so I took oso...

hi berry,
Thanks for the advice !
is it safe to use KY ? Also is it safe for hubby to ejaculate inside me ? I read somewhere that semen may cause contractions...that's why some people have sex to induce labour...but at our stage we dun wan right ?
Hi angelia, constipation is normal syndrome, but try not to drag for too long, else body will not feel comfy too...
Hi yingzi, I read at www.babycenter.com that cannot eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish (also called golden or white snapper)...
but never say stingray leh....

aurora, KY is 100% safe, anyway gyneas use KY when they lubricate the intruments to insert into you during vagina scans. Semen will cause contractions only when your EDD is near. Now no prob at all. can check with your gynea for extra assurance. Anyway if you dont feel comfy with ejaculations, can ask your hubby to ejaculate outside.
yingzi, stingray saying is an old wives tale, not medically proven. caus they say sting ray wil 'sting' baby LOL.

How is everybody doing?
Curly... sorry to hear about what happened. Please take good care of yourself.
I think there are quite a few people in here trying to be funny... let's ignore them.
Talk about multivitamins... yucks!!! I can't swallow pills, capsules etc... so I had to resort to biting to break it into really small pieces and wash it down with water as quickly as I can. The problem is that it tastes like milk and I don't really enjoy milk -.-""
