Hi All,
Can I join in the discussions pls? I'm in my 6th week now, EDD 5 Jul. But actually i think EDDs are subject to change and will be better ascertained later in the pregnancy. I'm likely to be delivering at TMC. Gynae only delivers there.
btw, can I ask when the weight gain will start setting in? I'm quite paranoid of putting on too much weight!
Hi Bookworm, same thing happened to me! Last Monday, I tested faintly positive on a home pregnancy test kit - went to GP and it was faint so results were considered doubtful. Went to gynae on Wed, urine test results were doubtful too, and gynae couldn't see sac yet, so told me to come back one week later. actually GPs use the same test kits as those bought over the pharmacy, so no point going to GP to confirm pregnancy i feel.
Went again this afternoon to the gynae - wella! found the sac in the right place. phew!
am not taking any supplements except folic acid.
so far no morning sickness, no secretion either, no breast pains, but super super sleepy all day long. is this normal?

Lisa,
thks. your points are valid, will take them into consideration.
glad to hear u have made an appt with Dr Watt. Pls share how it went. Hopefully you'll have a gd experience with her
re yellowish staining. Yes i have them everyday. and worse, i can't wear pantyliner cos getting over an infection and me very sensitive if wear everyday will get infection. sigh.
doodbug,
congrats !
I think weightgain will start in 2nd trimester. abt 2kg a mth, tt's wat i read from the more experience mtbs hee hee ..
yep, tiredness is a symptom of pregnancy so don't worry. just get plenty of rest. As you're still early, more symptoms might come along as you progress in your pregnancy or you could remain as per normal like some lucky ones who don't get morning sickness at all. Keep your fingers crossed !

Hi everyone,
Thought of sharing with you guys on what I read. I've been following the progress of my baby week by week eversince I got to know I'm pregnant. For your info, I'm 5+ weeks pregnant.
-------------------------------------------------
<font size="+0">At 5 Weeks ... </font>
Your Baby
Already a busy little bee, your developing embryo now has three layers. The outer layer, or ectoderm, will develop into the nervous system, while the endoderm, or inner layer, will become the liver, pancreas, intestines, and bladder. This week, the mesoderm, or middle layer, is developing into the heart and circulatory system, which will be the first organs to function. In the weeks to come, the mesoderm will also form the bones, muscles, kidneys and reproductive organs.
Your Body
Hold onto your--breasts! If they don't feel sore yet, chances are they will in another few days. For many women, breast tenderness is the first physical sign of pregnancy. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea, bloating, and, less commonly at this stage, a craving for foods containing salt, iron, or vitamin C.
With all these changes going on, chances are you don't feel like doing chores around the house. In fact, there are certain things you shouldn't be doing now. At the top of the list is changing the cat litter, especially if your cat spends any time outdoors. Toxoplasmosis, a disease spread through the feces of infected cats, can cause birth defects if passed from mother to unborn child. If you must change the litter, wear rubber gloves, get your cat tested for the disease, and keep her indoors for the duration of your pregnancy.
Fast Facts
Get ready: You're boarding the world's biggest emotional roller coaster. Fluctuations in your hormones over the next nine months, along with a raft of physical changes and the fact that you are undergoing a life-altering experience, can take you for one wild ride. Don't be surprised if you feel elated, depressed, angry, sentimental, powerful, and insecure--sometimes all in the space of an hour.

hi
Thanks shane for the tip, had seen my GP again before the holiday for referral to gynae @ KKH (because i live near there) and gave me some medication for the protection & constipation. And he too recommended Papaya and other fruits except citris fruits like oranges and pineapple.
i often look up this site (http://pregnancydaily.com/cgi-bin/duedatecalc.cgi) when i gets bored everyday in office, maybe you can try it too.

hi 'dunnoleh'
not really sure about what are 'heaty' fruits, can give some examples? So i can avoid them (to prevent my constipation gettting worse.)
anyway, there are a lot of things to listen to... but some are myths to be discarded.
else, one will end up lying on the bed 24x7 and eating northing but chinese 'medicines' and pills. which nearer what happened to me

My GP advised me to drink 2 Coke bottles of plain water every day to prevent constipation especially after taking the folic acid. I also never had constipation, until recently. And I also have bouts of diarrhoea too. But I have to agree with the GP, that I've not been drinking enough water recently.
Just wondering, is it not good to drink gassy drinks during pregnancy ah? I love to drink Coke, but since I was pregnant, I cut down a lot. But sometimes, I just feel like drinking, will it be harmful to the baby?

I haven't reach the stage of having pile yet. My GP gave me pills for softening the bowels when i complaint about the constipation, it works, but as instructed, to be taken at night, and best possible before non-working day, else will be running for the washroom during work.
As in gassy drink, i love gassy drinks like coke too, but i'm refraining from them since i had my suspicions of being a preggie as it contain caffeine & too much sugar.
Personally, feel that it is good to avoid gassy drinks as the sugar content is a bit too high and is coolld, quite dangerous for preggie to be diabetic.
Of course, to be sure, it is better to as the gynae, if you have any.

hi Lisa
i had nausea since week 5. Only start throwing up around end of week 6. i feel dizzy too, but not so frequent, only moments after gettting up from sitting position. strange part is, it is usually the vegetables or vegetarian type of food or just plain water being thrown out.

Morning ladies,
dunno,
papaya is gd for pregnancy. But watermelon might be alittle cooling, don't eat too much. I've been eating alot of papaya.
there's too many things to listen so sometimes i prefer not to know. just stay away from those really potential harmful things can already. as for i food, i always believe everything in moderation is ok. We all need alot of nutrition for the baby now, so it's better to eat properly than to avoid alot of food.
lisa,
it's better to cut down on gassy drinks esp coke since there's caffine. But i still do sneak a sniff or 2 from hubby hee hee ... a few sips should be ok, but don't drink a whole can.
Jane,
no prob. hope u get better soon. I'm pretty alrite with not much nausea or dizziness (touch wood) but i noticed these few days i've been feeling slightly more nausea. I hope it will quickly pass, really feel sucky.
Also everything i eat is tasteless... so sad ... so most of the time i don't feel like eating but then i get hungry then i feel nausea.. so tong ku !
Most imptly is to eat small meals frequently. that might help in keeping the food down. that was advised by my gynae.

me coming to 8 week tomorrow
now i'm throwing more things than vegetables and water... like eggs. But i got less of those breast soreness and feeling the growth of the stomach (which shouldn't be that fast)
Thanks Shane, i hope i'll get better soon. Now i tend to stay in bed in the mornings and even had light breakfast on bed before actually getting up... so lessen the amount of food being thrown up.

forgetmenot,
yup, my 2nd visit. waited so long. just hope everything is fine with baby. actually i also worry like you for baby cos can't feel anything. But i think that's wat all of us go thru' till we see baby everytime we go see the doc.
normally how long is the interval for the check up ? 2 wks ? 3 wks ? 1 mth ?

Jane,
your ms so jialat! Hope it'll get better as time goes by..
shane,
yah lor, my next visit also 1 mth later... Very worried.. Hahahaha... so every day my hubby will put his ear on my stomach to hear for the bb's heartbeat.. Then listen to my heartbeat to ensure that he's realli hearing our bb's heartbeat. At least we feel more assured...
i also heard abt the papaya myth.. Can eat a considerable amt. But dun take too much, it might be harmful to our bbs..
dunnoleh,
It will be good to get a CL if your mum/mil is nt able to help out or they dun have experience at all. My aunt is a CL.. She will cook for the mums, bathe the bb, wash bb's clothes and clean the floor... From 7am-6pm.. Just a rough guide here.. Not too sure what other CL does..
For my case, I will nt be getting any CL. Will most prob get my MIL to help out. If she's nt able to manage then i will get my aunt to help too...

shane,
yah lor.. I am looking forward to see how much my bb has grown!!
Hmm... should be able to hear lei.. my hubby always place his ear on my stomach, on the left to the naval. Slightly below the naval.. The bb's heartbeat is different from our heartbeat. bb's heartbeat is much faster...
Ask ur hubby to try exploring putting on different parts.. If he placed on the right position, should be ale to hear quite clearly.

Thanks serrich. i hope it will stop soon after 1st trimester.
My mil will be volunteering to be the CL so, kind of covered in that aspect, just that i have to bear with her ancient ways of doing things.
and yes, shane, i find it annoying waking up in the middle of night having nausea over hunger in the beginning. but now, i guessed my body is too exhausted to wake up at wee hours... that's probably why i had this throwing up of food started esp morning. and me too, already eaten one round of tea break thanks to my colleagues expecting the next hunger pang 2 hours later :|
i'm only starting my first visit to gynae this thursday. Hope he/she's nice.
