Hi...new to this..Just tested positive 2 days ago on clearblue and my LMP was in 1st week March. Excited but blur! How do I count the number of weeks I am now? Is it from LMP? Can anyone advise roughly by how many weeks is a good time to see a gynae? Been feeling bloated yet hungry..odd?

Try taking ginger. add in to your food.

Josephine,
I took soft drink and fast food too.

hi Mummies, anyone in week 5 scan already can see baby? Or week 5 should be can see sac only?

Pauline, may i ask which week you are in? Wow, 7.6mm is quite good, measure from head to bottom or the sac itself? Sorry if sounded stupid, cant seem to make out what dr is measuring and forgot to ask.
 
Hi glimmerhope..my edd is also 2nd dec

My sunflower, when i went for my scan during my 5th week..can see the sac only..juz like josephine..;)

Haffa, you are seeing the gynae I wanted to see but her wait list very long there.

Ueno and haffa, you want to add in your baby no. details eg. (#1 or #2 or #3) ?
 
pauline...added already dear..mine is baby #1..regarding the gynae..i have to wait almost 1 mth for my 1st appt. I have yet to see her actually. For my scannning i went to a women's clinic near my place. I m not sure whether to have her as my gynae or change to another gynae who is less popular. But problem is dunno of any other good gynae *sigh*...would prefer gynae who can deliver at Raffles Hospital...any suggestions anyone..?
 
Wow getting more and more people here already. But just quickly pop by and quickly read. Sorry if miss any post
happy.gif


Pauline,
How to highlight and add details huh? Blur me.
lileen #2, edd 12 dec, gynae Dr Caroline Khi, TMC, Punggol.

Sunflower,
5 wks cannot see baby still. Usually at 6wks then can see something. I scan at 4wks 5days can even see sac. Haha, KS me and appt for sat all pack.. So go before 5 wks and cannot see anything. Gynae ask me to go 2wks later but think i go only when bb is 8wks.

GG,
congrats. They usually count from 1day of your LMP to now.

Babylove,
Why cannot eat papaya? It dun fall under the "liang" cat?

Jo,
There are some food that ppl will advise preggie women not to eat. But not to be too worry if you took anything. Cos it really depends on your own body. I have seen some that eat pineapple, watermelon and BB still safe a nd healthy.You have to know what is your body type. For me my womb is the cold type so must avoid the liang food. But still naughty me still eat bamboo shoot and radish. Most imptly is eat everything in moderation. As for TCM, some really cannot eat hor. Will cause M/C. Avoid those huo xue type. But those normal like red dates, guo qi zi is ok.
During my 1st, I eaty almost everything also. Except those really proven ones like raw food etc. These are really dangerous.
 
Hi all,

Had been experience very bad morning sickness these few days

Hi all,

Good to see that there's a Dec 09 MTB thread! I just tested positive 2 days ago with Clearblue and have made an appt to see my gynae next mon.

So far no symptoms too! How do u calculate ur edd? my LMP is 6 Mar.
 
Phew! Thanks for explaining Pauline, Lileen. I thought how come you all can measure bb but i see sac only. Mine is measured 0.64mm leh. Or i see wrong should be 0.64cm = 6.4mm? Sigh. I go back check. 0.64mm is awfully small lor. Silly me.
 
At week 5, you ladies got symptoms not? I only get dizzy spells and sore boobs. Didnt merlion leh. Sigh. My pregnancy hormones not high or strong enough.
 
Hi mummies,

hi lileen and glimmerhope,
my gynea is also Dr Caroline Khi
I just saw her yesterday and could see the blinking light in my tummy.. its cute.
happy.gif

my baby is 0.37cm at 6 weeks.. it is really tiny
Doctor says that my edd is 26th of nov (opps am i in the wrong thread?) but may delay as my period cycle is longer than the usual 28 days.

i started on drinking milk for mummies and hmmm it really doesnt taste very good.. i try to cheat and reduce the amount of powder i use

I realise if i eat very very often like every other hour or so, my ms would be better..sigh am worried about the weight that I'll gain
sad.gif
and not able to shed after birth

Any teacher mummies here?
happy.gif


Remember your folic acid and vitamins everyone.
Have a happy holiday!

hi, decided to put everything into a excel list by EDD so that we know who will pop first. Looks like we have quite a few MTBs whose EDD is on 2 Dec. Min, I've added you in for now, let me know if you want to move to Nov thread. ;)

If anyone wants to be included into the list or update your details, please key in and save the file and re-upload attachment.I added BB gender/name (can update that later stage) and Mummy's name/occupation (if you feel comfortable to share) I'm not good with IT so hope it works.

Ght Tan, so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I know nothing can comfort you now. Hope time heals your pain and you'll have another healthy bb soon. Hugz...
 
I;m confused. Should I take the 5mg from NTUC once a day or twice a day?? The box says once a day.

GHT Tan: I'm sorry for your loss. Take care, and recover well.
 
hi ladies! i just got to know that im preggie with my first baby yesterday! i am about 5 weeks now and if I calculated, my EDD would be 10 Dec 2009.

Currently am deciding which gynae to go too to confirm the pregnancy hehe... any recommendations?
 
Hi Pauline,
The excel file seems to be a read only doc so can't edit. My EDD is 4 Dec, #1, Dr. Yu SL at SGH, and I am a Personal Asst living in serangoon gardens
 
Hi Lileen, not sure why we can't take papaya... Nurse told me better not to so tat's y i skip. I heard frm ny fren who aldy had 2 kids n she skip papaya for both and her baby came out without a single bit of jaundice..
happy.gif


Ladies - Any recommendation on Strech Mark Cream for sensitive skin? Btw when shld we start using?

GHT Tan, sorry to hear of your loss. Dun worry too much jus take good care of your body during this time. God Bless
 
babylove - how is Dr Yu Su Ling? I went to her before i got preggy, trying to know my hormone balance when trying but i didnt go back to her after that first trip.

is she ok? maybe i will go back to her.

im a PA too, living in the west.

Hi Andreanie, she is quite good.. though she dun really talk much but am quite comfortable wif her. Am seeing her next week for my scanning.
happy.gif
 
Hi Sunflower, I went for my scan on Wed and my baby is 10.5mm * 8.6mm = 1.5cm * 0.86cm. From the size, my gynae said that it's more than 5 weeks, about 6 weeks I guess..

Ladies, My friend said that her gynae told her that she can eat anything, including raw salmon and oysters as long as they are very very fresh and she has been eating a lot of them. I crave for salmon and oyster but I am worried about eating. Is it true that we can eat as long as they are very fresh?
 
Hi, Andreanie, you have the same EDD as me.

Babylove, not sure why like that? Can you try again to resave under a new file name (maybe add the date)?

Hi, Ainsley, my gynae said sashimi is ok, quite safe but no oysters cos oysters can be very dirty. :p

Anyway, I've added you and Andreanie's details.

hey,
gynea says as long as its fresh, there shoud be little bacteria on it..
but best to avoid to play safe
happy.gif


ladies, what kind of shoes do you wear? any brands to recommend for very comfy shoes (n not very ugly ones) as i have to stand for long periods..
 
hi min..i've been using crocs (alice). Didn't like it in the beginning but luv it now. It is very comfy. Can we still wear heels coz i luv them but have stopped ever since found out i'm pregnant.
 
Ainsley, I deliberately asked him "The Line" buffet at Shangri-la but he still say better not to take oysters lor. Sashimi I asked him twice, he said ok, at worse you take in a bit of mercury. But think he was joking about the mercury bah.

When I had no. 1, I work soft leather flats (sole2sole available in isetan and robinsons is quite good). Better not to wear flip flops in case anyone steps on your flip flop from behind cos you'll trip.

But I know some pregnant women wear heels the whole way cos they can't live without their heels. Up to individual lar. But some women suffer from swollen feet when they get bigger. If you do, then better to stick to flats. Can also put a A4 paper box below your desk so that you can prop up your feet. At night, sleep with feet propped on pillow.
 
hi babypole and lileen
I thought papaya is ok... for #1, i ate a slice of papaya everyday for entire 10mths... maybe people just scared of jaundice only when bb comes out but i tink its not a problem.. so far, the food that i avoided in first pregnancy was watermelon and li (cause too liang), chinese tea, chinese rojak, cause the sauce is quite poisonous, pineapple, half boiled eggs (anything uncooked is def no-no) sushi, mutton as there's something inside that will cause mc...and also soyabean curd (dou hua) cause the chemical inside to solidify the bean curd is no good...
cheese is ok as long as not blue cheese
 
hi josephine, it is soft. It is made from a rubber-like material. Initially i didn't like it..looks kinda ugly. But when i tried putting it on..its not that bad and very comfy.
happy.gif


I miss my heels....
 
hi ght
Im very sorry to hear abt your loss.... i had a mc too before having my no 1, and wat gynae told me then is that mc are often only once off and will not happen again.. rest assured your next pregnancy will be fine...
Hmm, another thing to check with your gynae is to take your hcg beta level to confirm that you are indeed mc-ing or have mc before you have a dc to clean your womb... cause some woman bleed all the way throughout pregnancy but go on to deliver healthy babies. Pls take care


hi min
I put on 16kg for no1, by 1st trimester i already put on 5kg when most mummies lose weight instead due to ms, gynae said im overweight :p But by 2nd mth after delivery, i shed off everything le, due to BF, so dun worry abt weight gain, just eat everything in moderation and its true that ammum, enfamama milk etc does cause weight gain :p


hi josephine
im still wearing slightly lower heels, doing light housework and carrying no 1, but its good if can wear flats and dun do housework...
 
hi ladies...dropping by wif my hp. So bare wif me for my entire lump of text. Cos cannot entre line. Msfox looking at ur lmp, ur edd shd be ard 13 dec. Cos mine was 5 mar n edd is 12 dec. Ghtan, u take gd care n hope u r ok. Nvmind, health is most impt. With tat u can try again k. As for housewk, of course try to avoidn get hubby to do. But if no choice then be careful n do slowly. U noe ur body best. So if cannot, pls stop. As for me, during my 1st, hubby nv help up so i did all housewk till the day i gv birth. I even pack my books n storeroom myself. But i was the super active type n even canoe during my 1st trimester. But i know my body can take it. The only prob i had was extreme backache. In fact already hv it now. As for raw fd, try to avoid if possible. Only if u crave till u going crazy. Be safe than sorry. At times, even high class rstn may be deceiving. Am in the food industry n hv took n send samples fm high class rstn, many stars hotel for lab test but results may not be gd. If ur tummy is the super weak type then may get some diahorrea. Roxy actually me also eat papaya. Its true that papaya may cause jaundice due to the beta carotine but in moderation is ok. U need to eat so much b4 that cld happen. But many a times, jaundice is cause by other prob as bb liver not mature to break down red blood cells. Talk abt weight gain, i was a humpty dumpty for no 1. Put on abt 25kg. Scary. But manage to shed off within 6mths due to bf.
 


Min, I bought 2 shoes from DMK. It's very very soft and comfy. You can go and try out the covered toe shoes.

I am craving for salmon but my hubby doesn't allow me to eat. A lot of people also said that it's alright as long as it's fresh. Don't know how to convince him that it's alright.

By the way, do you ladies drink milk? You can get sample from these website. I am personally drinking Dumex Mamil Mama currently. Don't really like the taste of milk powder but I think this is ok. (Vanilla flavour)
