hi amanpp, ya i think im d same leh... cannot eat too much in 1 meal..think its partly due to not much appetite too...
my fren told me to try ginger lemon ..also from preserved plum shops like umeya. im gonna go get it tomorrow and also maybe ask the aunties there for some recommendations and get a few different types to try, see which works for me
u can try that too. i made appt with Dr Benjamin tham on tues for my first appointment..see if he will prescribe some med for me cos i cant eat much, worried that it will affect bb and worried that my gastrititis will come back. so many worries! lol

Queen Kay: Perfectly fine. I dun have any MS at all for my #1. Now, so far so good..no feeling yet.
Kye, I am taking folic acid too. You can start taking fish oil too for the omega. Very good for bb developement. Also drink more milk as we will need all the calcium that we can absorb.
Regarding bf while preggy: better be careful. If can, better stop. Cos breastfeeding tends to have a shrinking function of the uterus. Thus might be harmful and dangerous. Better consult gynae for opinion.
Chrisq, cos growing a bb inside us takes up a lot of energy and bfing also burns a lot of calories. When put both together, for sure u will feel very tired. W/o bfing now, I also feels very tired alr.
Junvis, haha!! Then I am getting worried cos I dun have MS! From what I heard, MS is also depending on ur mom. If ur mom dun have history of MS, mostly likely u wont too. Both my mom and sis also no MS.
Piggiedear, its fine. But make sure u drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated.
Amanpp, some ppl when having high level of HCG will feel nausea. That’s the main cause of MS. But some ppl wont be affected by it. So if u have MS, it means ur HCG is increasing, ie bb growing. HCG will stabilized after 1st trim, thus most ppl stop having MS after that. Me same as u, when hungry will feel nausea. So I will always keep some biscuits in my bag.
Rgd Gynae, I would be gg back to my 1st one, Dr John Yam. He is very pro natural and stitching is good too. From his encouragement, I managed to deliver #1 wo epi
Clarisse mummy, you just stop the pumping, then once every few days, just squeeze ur breast with ur hands to release what ever is left. Then prolong the time u squeeze. Eventually will totally stopped.

yea I consulted my gynae and I think he prefers me to stop b/feeding. Agree that being pregnant and b/feeding is very strenuous on our body. Chrisq, try to ensure you take enough nutrients ya

hello all...
sad and happy to say im pregnant with my second child...sad cos my first child is only 10 mths currently and am afraid i can't give her the attention she needs by the time the 2nd one arrived, feeling guilty towards her now...
happy cos its still gd news nevertheless...just found out abt the pregnancy (think only 4 wks) and still have not decide if i should return to the same doctor. Was seeing Dr SF Loh @ KKH previously but he has just changed to TMC...
Was considering Dr Heng @ Eastshore, any comments abt her?
Thanks

Clarisse mom, me too! 3kg stuck with me! I managed to loose all when bfing . But after I stopped, I started to gain back
I didn't managed to latch the 1st time round was cos I have inverted nipples . But after pumping for 1yr plus, it corrected itself alr. So hopefully this time round will be able to. Imagine no need to lug my pump with me when gg out!

clarisse mummy: yah this was unexpected for me as well, thus feeling rather stressed abt it, cos one is already a handful for both of us to handle, and i keep thinking my daughter is quite poor thing to only have our full attention for such a short period of time...even have evil hope that pregnancy might not turn out well etc...to add on, can't imagine what my boss and colleagues will say when they know abt it...*stressed*
i gained abt 12kg during the first pregnancy and still have 4kg stuck with me now, dont think i cant ever return to my slim figure before....and somehow, i have been feeling hungry really fast...die die...

sun_tan, I'm also hoping to be able to breastfeed successfully this time round *fingers crossed*
That time, they said I got flat nipples so bb difficult to latch..
Maybe I'll try wearing some form of nipple puller prior to birth and c if this will helps..

After some thinking, would still prefer to deliver at KKH (first choice), if not Dr SF Loh @ TMC (2nd choice). Am scare of complications and expenses etc thus prefer to deliver at KKH.
Anyone has any recommendation for good gynae at KKH TPS? Thanks thanks...

jaslin: really? surprise to know cheaper than KKH...haha...but i made an appt to see Dr John Tee at KKH TPS on 11th Apr (earliest that i can get, seems like hes very popular also)...shall see if Im confortable to stick with him, if not i might go back to Dr Loh at TMC...am just worried abt complications, if all's well, still prefer Dr Loh too...
how many weeks are you now? Trying to gauge my own EDD...and yah the first one is very active now plus we have no helper so very worried we can't give her the attention she needs...

hi amanpp
u're seeing dr ben tham too? is he good? so far how many appts u had with him already? 1?
The umeya near me closed down, so i went to hock hua and bought the ginger slice, not bad leh..within a few mins of testing 1 pc, i felt better, so i bought 1 pkt $3.80.
Also, tdy i ate smaller meals at like 2-3hrs interval, i think this also helped a bit. Happier! but mood still grumpy and stomach feels like gonna hv gastric pain.. sigh

Strengthnblessing: yes I also surprise. Me not w dr log but wif his trusty sidekick.. Dr marianne cos her waiting time shorter... And her stitching and all was great w #01. They are partners now... My first consult only 55... Surprised by it too. In week7 now... Feeling mildly miserable w ms.. But ok. John tee is super popular... Yes the wait can be long.... Oh yes... Sticking w my doc cos she super strict w weight gain... Was glad tt lost all but 1kg b4 this new bundle came....
Alicia: twice a day for folic acid? How many mg? That's alot.. Mine is the same as Yanyan.. Only once a day with vit b in the morn and duphaston at nite..
Piggiedearz: Dr Ben tham is ok, he is gentle and friendly.. My Fren used him before say he is good.. Thus, trying out with him first.. So far, I went for my 1st appt last week.. Next visit in 2 weeks times.. I try taking those sushi kind of ginger.. Cant take much.. Spicy!!! great to hear that u feel better.. Continue to jia you!!!

jaslin: you make me so tempted to go straight back to dr Loh!...was considering Dr Marianne too and who knows Dr Loh actually took her with him to TMC...saw her a few times when she was covering fr Dr Loh at TPS and was quite fine with her...
let me call his clinic and check on the schedule on Monday...
i had very bad ms during #1 at abt 6 wks+ onwards and am afraid this #2 will be the same, still rem i drank lotsa sprite n 7-up cos nothing i took can stay in...only this drink can help relieve me of the constant vomiting...smelling lemons n sour stuff helps a little too...dry crackers dont help me at all...crossing fingers that this #2 will be more cooperative...
was thinking of switching jobs...now might have to stay put again...quite upset abt this cos work has been rather lousy...boss and colleagues sure to wag tongues abt my pregnancy too...

Hi everyone,
Just tested positive yesterday morning, I should be at 7wks now and EDD is 10 Nov. This will be baby #2.
I'll probably return to my previous gynae at KKH TPS, Dr HY Wee. He delivered my first kid and I liked him v much. Need to make an appt tomorrow...
Anyone experiencing indigestion? I keep feeling v v bloated or as though I am constipated, although I'm not. Also my appetite is quite bad, although luckily the MS hasn't started yet. Didn't have MS with #1 so I'm also hoping to escape this round.
Nice to meet everyone!
