<font color="0000ff">Sksf</font> <font color="ff6000">Honestly, while the crystallised ginger seems to be helping the nausea, I actually HATE the taste of ginger in this form!

I had bagel and croissant for lunch/tea yesterday and it kept my MS away very well. I felt quite good. Plain stuff is the way to go.</font>
<font color="0000ff">kikilala</font> <font color="ff6000">What did you eat that brought on the puking? Or did you not eat? The tastebuds really change lor. I like savoury food usually. But every time preggie, I crave vvv sweet stuff like sweet sweet cheng tng.</font>

Btil, I bought 2 maternity jeans from old navy, but I estimated the wrong size. Tot I must be a L size now so ordered size 12. Way too big.
Think instead of buying maternity pants, can also buy those belly band to hold the pants together. I saw at a shop in Nex recently. You may want to consider those

I went to those neighborhood stores and some do sell maternity clothes... The tops are UGLY lah but I find the pants are actually quite ok. Cheap also. I bought a pair of shorts to try first (those with elastic band). Only $27+ maybe will go back to buy some long pants and skirts soon. I went to the one at Tampines interchange rows of shops in front of the mrt station. Next to the DVD shop.
There's one at be bencoolen fortune centre, right opposite the OG entrance.
Guess what! I also found pants with elastic band in Mango during my #1 time. I can wear all the way till I popped.

I just got an email from babycentre.com to inform me that I am officially in my 2nd tri! Yippy! They consider 2nd tri from 12 wks onwards.
Don't know what trigger my puking last night maybe ate too oily food for dinner. I just hope it is the first and last time!

JustALamb, when buying maternity wear, you generally stick to your pre-pregnancy size cos the sizing is proportional. So for eg, if you have always worn S for Old Navy clothes, your maternity wear from the brand should also be S.
But I have a feeling most maternity wear will still be too baggy for now cos we're neither here nor there, still not that big yet. Those bottoms with adjustable waistline will have better mileage.

JustALamb - belly band ? I saw it today at spring maternity stall at Vivo . D pack indicates it's to cover d belly when existing top can't cover . It's like a tube top but wear at belly area. U mean can also use to tighten existing pants without zipping ?
All - I suddenly felt 'panicky' today that there is alot of research to do on what n where to buy etc . Previously I think it's still early . But got from this forum a to-buy checklist, n after walking ard 3 maternity shops today n cudnt get anything, it struck me it's time to start thinking n looking !!!
I dunno what to expect in 2nd trimester - any tips to share ?

Btil - For Oscar test, the BT is done at the inner elbow area, like most BT. It's pretty quick. The time-consuming one is the U/S scan. The baby needs to be on his/her back so that the thickness behind the neck can be measure.
Things to buy. For now, just start sourcing for maternity clothes and stretchmark cream. When you know the gender, can start buying baby clothes. At the same time, you can reike on sterilizer, bottles, thermometer, baby cot, bedsheets, baby sling, baby carrier, chair for baby to lie on.
My boy is having a high fever since last night so a good thermometer is very important.

Thanks for the info on belly belt. I was sourcing for it. So sad. I gave away all my maternity clothings from no 1 to no 4 liao. Think I don't wanna plurge too much this time. Belly belt will be good!

Yeah, I think nothing much to buy for now. But I think must quickly book CL for those who need this service.
For me, I would need to reike for Infant Care and probably put on waitlist (kiasu) if my mom doesn't want to take care of my baby. Don't really like the idea of having a live-in maid or a nanny.

Kikala: I threw up late too - 10th week. Now at 11.5 weeks. Hoping the 2nd tri will be better.
Maternity clothes: i got the bella band from Alle mom - more expensive than the Mothercare one but I think they work the same way. Can be used to fit bottoms which are too loose.
