glad, i also buay tahan just now and drank a cup of sprite... haha. i haven seen gynae yet but my GP only ask me to keep to a cup of coffee/tea per day, avoid alcohol, and raw/BBQ food. i guess other things are ok if consumed in moderation.
i am only worried about gestation diabetes since kid may be prone to developing childhood obesity, and develop diabetes later in life.

Hiya Oct Mama-to-be!

Honestly, we can eat almost everything, including raw food (as long as u know that the shop has fresh ones), shell food, ice cream, etc. As long as it's in moderation, it's fine.
When i was preggars the 1st round, I ate everything and the gynae was real cool about it too. The only thing I avoided was pineapple. My son is 14mths now and healthy.
To the new mothers out there, I would just suggest precaution and moderation. Dun need to limit yourself to all the food. If you crave it, just eat it (not every day and every meal lah). U'll feel better.

glass, if you have the urge to pee, I sugg you don't keep it in, after suay suay kena UTI for no reason.
carlyn, I'm in agreement with you about teh stretchmark cream. I've spoken to some skin specialist and they did mention that the creams actually dun really work. It'll just prevent itchiness and also lighten the mark (will not make it disappear). Also, the elasticity may sometimes be genetics as well. So those who have good genes, good for you.

today i went to see my gynae. did a belly scan but saw nothing. I'm abt 5 weeks 2 days. Kind of disappointed but gynae asked me not to be alarmed cos its still early. Felt like a wasted trip today.. next visit is in 18 days time. Its going to be such a long wait... *so depressed*

About smells...
It started with me unable to tolerate the scent of my cabinets that were lined with crabtree & evelyn drawer liners.
Then it progressed to the bath gels and hand soaps.
When the intolerance progressed to wanting to throw up, I had no choice but to get HB to throw away all the liners and change all the bath gels to unscented. Even my usual lipstick, toner, moisturiser are not spared....hao ke xi...
I found this shop very useful - Bud's Cosmetics. Just got some no-scent natural stuff and so far, so good. The stretch mark oil they sell has also made my skin soft..no comment yet on effect.

hi everyone! haven't posted in a while, but been reading all the posts.

Sensitive to smells too, and hv this bland taste in my mouth... Feel hungry all the time, but when I eat, I've no appetite...
think most of us hv some form of MS by now? Let's all hang in there!
btw, anyone's EDD is around 9 Oct, and already can see heartbeat? I'm seeing gynae for 1st visit this Fri. I think shld be able to see by then right?

Hi All
First time MTB, just had my scan few days ago. Can see foetus...hubby n myself were so happy. Waiting for the next appt to hear the heartbeat.
My MS also kicks in, super sensitive to smell be it good or bad. puking sensation can comes anytime....
like ryne, i do feel hungry but when i eat i also no appetite....
Btw, have you all start consuming supplements? is it too early to take now? i am currently taking protein drinks, calcium and iron pills.
and also is it fine to eat more then 5mg of folic acid?

Glad: not yet. gyne said we'll check again in two weeks.
siangjiao: when i checked 1st time yesterday, the ultrasound also says the fetus is 5w2d.. but cos my period is 40days so, gyne averaged it to be 6wks.
ryne: same here. i feel like puking when i'm hungry. but when food was placed in front of me, i dun feel like eating anymore. haha.
cindy: i think supplements are fine cos they always come in very minute amounts. i've been taking supplements even before i found out that i'm pregnant. gyne said its ok. just live normally. hahaha...

im suddenly very sensitive to smells, i can sniff out sthg in a distance, as though im now a patrol dog, i can smell things that pple cant..
and still no appetite for me since i got preggy.. and this loss of appetite is only in the day time, when i feel like sleeping more than anything else.. but when night time comes, i will be hungry and want to eat.. confirm will pile on lots of kilos like this!!!
and the nauseous feeling is getting quite bad now, always have the ready to puke feeling, esp in the office..

hi mommies... if my pregnancy goes well, i will be having my kid in oct too! cautious cos i had a m/c before this.
right now i dunno issit morning sickness but i keep wanting to gag. not vomiting, just this stuffiness in my chest. no appetite too. looking at pictures of food in the foodcourt makes me want to puke. and always feeling very tired...
worse... yesterday i fainted in the foodcourt. so i am trying to eat more despite the pukish feeling. people tell me it's cos i've not been eating enough... anyone else feeling faint?

Hi all, I've been feeling hungry for a long time, and I finally finished an entire economical rice today. Had been spending so much money on food for the past few days, because I would be very hungry, and after having a few bites, I would have no appetite even though I'm still super hungry. I would buy at least 5 meals a day.
I also think my husband's driving is making me feel nauseated. When I drive, it's ok, but when he drove two days ago, I felt very sick. Last time I didn't have this problem.
I'm waiting for Friday to go for my next checkup! I really hope my baby is growing well, and it's small because of late ovulation rather than anything else.
I went to Metro yesterday and bought the bra extensions. Not sure whether it is good. Had sore breasts, but after applying some cream, they appear to be firm but not sore anymore.
Some strollers I saw are really expensive at more than $700 or $800!! Are they the BMWs of the baby strollers or what? Very tempting to buy little booties and other stuff, but I think I'm going to control myself and my money.
I totally agree with many of you about the smells. Even the soap powder makes me feel sick. Thank goodness the immediate toiletries that I use are still ok. The last time I had such strong smell sensitivity was after a bad boat ride to Bintan. Really took it out on my then bf (now my hubby).

for me no morning sickness yet, but my appetite has dropped. Food used to cheer me up, but now i look at them so sianz. I'm still able to eat and keep the food down but eating no longer seems fun.
And my mouth seems perpertually dry all the time.. i drink loads of water..i keep thinking i have bad breath

wow glass, i tink the driving part is coz when you drive, you concentrate on the roads more than anything else.. but when your hubby drives, you aren't concentrating on anything at all..
my fren told me that i can start to buy nursing bra, so that there wun be any underwire to poke the-already-sore breasts even more sore.. but im kinda resistant towards nursing bra leh.. heehee.. have you started to use the bra extensions today? how is it?
same like you, im also very tempted to buy those cute little mittens and stuffs.. but i know its way too early la, so i will have to curb myself first..
not only strollers are exp, those baby car seats are also another one.. but these are the safety of our babies, we have to spend on these de..
im thinking of buying those 3-wheeled USA stroller, and the baby is facing me instead of facing in front that kind, so that i am aware of what my BB is doing in the pram..

Just an update to all, as i said i was spotting last week. Doc gave me a very painful homrmones jab and the hormones pills. It became mini menses over the weekend, doc told me to double my dosage. Went to see him yesterday, seems from the scan that baby is not growing much. LAst wed, 1.1 cm, yesterday, 1.3cm.EDD was initially 8 Oct, then it became 24 OCt.
Doc said baby does not seem to grow much and due to the bleeding that i still have, i was told to take a blood test yesterday and one more tomorrow. By comparing the results fr the blood tests, will be able to conclude on Friday if baby is growing.
don't have a good feeling towards it. But anyway, thank u to all who gave me their advices.
You gals take care...

Serene, i encounter bleeding last week too. Doc also gave me an injection and pills. Mine bleeding have stop now. Just rest in bed and minimise your movement and continue to take the pills, it will helps. Doc say that the hormones pill is something like a "An Dai yao" for the BB. Have to stay positive now.
Lok, your EDD is very near to mine,my EDD is on 13 Oct.
All MTB, which gyn have you all appointed? I'm going with Dr.Jocelyn Wong at TMC.

I have been feeling a bit itchy around my belly these day... do you think i shd start to apply the stretch mark cream??
Hello Serene => Think positive! For my first preganancy, I was spotting as well.... and my gynae told me to stay positive and "talk" to your bb.... Look at the positive side, at least the bb has grown 0.2cm over a week.... It maybe slow but is still grow strong and healthy.....
Soh>> I think we shld start to apply le.. I am intending to buy stretchmark cream soon too.. i was advised NOT to scratch it no matter how itchy it gets.. cos it will leave ugly stretchmarks..
Gibert>> What the gynae advised to tackle morning sickness is.. never give up on eating.. He says eating small meals serveral times helps to curb the morning sickness.. but i dunno how useful it is...

Soh>> I havent start using the cream yet. But according to my sister, she used Vichy during her pregnancy (not sure whether its the right spelling).. N she does not have a single stretchmark at all... So, most likely i wld be trying.
My friend who saw Dr Joyceln told me that we can actually get her to prescribe the cream to us as well.. Maybe u can ask her when u see her next sat!

Serene: I'll pray for you and your baby. ACtually i was quite depressed last year when i found out that my period isnt the usual 28 days but 40days.. cos it seems like there could be some problem if i want to have children. so i prayed really hard for a miracle to happen, and it did! so i believe that i can pray for you too!
Soh: this is so exciting! i should be going Mt E cos my gyne is from there. It'll be fun to give birth at the same time and same place with any one of you mtbs here!!
anyway, i'm feeling nausea and bloated and hungry all at the same time. sitting down for too long isnt helping much. and the toilets at orchard towers (where i work) isn't exactly nice smelling. haha..
