Hi all! FTM here too.. Only in my 5th week and my hubby and I are quite at a loss of what to do and what to expect. Haha. My tummy feels weird and I get some cramps / tugging feel sometimes. Is that normal? Appetite wise I'm good and eating well for now but very very lethargic. It's like I spent the last few days just eating and sleeping!

Sheepy- I just take them. Took them for number one too and also no issues, only coke an lychee syrup helps me now w the puking. My only concern is weight;( I've gained two kg from all e drinking le but my only comfort is we can lose these after delivery. I lost 24kg since delivery of my first son, hope it will be the same

Happy new year to all!
I'm also coping with all the nausea and I can't stomach all those meaty stuff..having craving for orange and orange juice only..Any mummies experiencing the same craving..
Von: so the pills cause the nausea? I'm about to finish the course. Hopefully it get better..

Von, it was worse for me when I m on those pills. Felt so demoralized then. Then I told my gynae and he said since I no more brown discharge, can stop taking them. Now felt better though still have some nausea now and then.
Juju, the problem is I can't put on weight too much cos my previous 2 pregnancies I had GD. I oredi put on 1 kg. I oso drank cold drinks to help curb my nausea. Got once I bought a small bottle cold green tea to drink over a feel days. Scared too cooling for body.

Tomato: I managed to see the sac and heartbeat last week at my 6w3d. Yours is still too early to see, so dun worry ok? Some ladies can only see their babies' heartbeat at 7-8 weeks.
Von: I m at my 7 weeks today and have been feeling lousy since last week. Nose is especially sensitive to certain smells like pork and seafood. Will feel like puking but didn't. Constant slight headache. Been taking dried sour plums and ribena which helped to ease the nausea a bit.

Sigh. Was down whole of yesterday. Still had good appetite for lunch and ate a lot. Next thing I know, after a nap I started feeling really giddy and vomited every single thing I ate. Couldn't even drink water!! The most I could do was to moist my lips n mouth a little. What a great start to the new year. Felt really depressed yesterday and just wanted to cry. Hubby was shocked and didn't know what to do either. We're going to see the gynae again soon to check with him. Feel so bad that I'm going to miss the first day of work after a long holiday break!
Anyway I just did my ultrasound on 30 dec when I was at exactly 5 weeks and could see the sac. Doc asked me to go back on 12 jan to check for heartbeat.

Good morning Ladies.. Hope everyone had a good new year's day..
Tomato: i have pm-ed you.. See if you have received it. Thank you for adding me up to your list.
soulffle: yeayy ur my delivery buddy i guess.. Lets look forward to our edd together. =D
sheepysheeps (sheepysheeps): Me too.. I cannot drink milk or plain water. I'll make my morning sickness bad so i drink tons of sweet carbonated drink everyday. Usually i'll buy a big gulp in the morning and keep it till the end of the day at work. It helps a lot! But at the same time i worry of GD cause my family history is very strong for diabetics.
I met my gynae last Saturday. Really loved my first appointment with my gynae. He was really friendly, patient and very helpful. He has all my appointments till march scheduled. I have my blood tests and the down syndrome tests scheduled on the 21st Jan(12weeks). He mentioned i just need to do the scan for the down syndrome and need not do the blood tests since im below 30. I prefer my doctor cause he's direct and he mentioned its better to save money from unnecessary tests and he'll only do them unless required. he has even prescribed meds that needs to be taken from week 13 onwards.
I am really glad to be into my 9 weeks now. Suffered week 7 in severe morning sickness until had to be hospitalized for observation for dehydration. I am so allergic to dairy products. IT makes my morning sickness worst! so no milk for now.. Vomiting has stopped completely and just left with nausea which only comes when im hungry. So I'll quickly eat every 3 hours to fight off the nausea.
How is everyone else keeping and coping...

BabyS (babys): Hahah but didn't had to be hospitalized for days like Kate. My sister-in law was worst. Had to be hospitalized for 5 days for her morning sickness and was on Hospitalization leave for 3 weeks so that she can have a good rest.. At least i was lucky only 8 hours of observation with drips and i force them to discharge me..
Haha thanks ladies your stories made me feel a little less miserable. Yest my gynae also suggested that I go Tmc for drip in case dehydrate. Now drinking some milo koso and hoping I won't vomit! And yes I realised that I prob can't take milk too. Soft chewy sweets seemed to help so I'm getting hubby to help me buy Ribena sweets to help replenish some sugar. Any other ways to reduce the morning sickness??
I was down yesterday, too. So depressing. Thought all wasn't too bad, went out to have lunch but before we reach, suddenly had a hunger pang like 2hrs from my last meal (felt the gastric juice gushing into my stomach). Next thing I knew, I had to run to the toilet. And then I had jelly feet. And ta-pao the fried rice home, and before we could leave, ran to the toilet again. and again!
Afternoon, slept half of it off... and the other half, eating / vomiting, eating/vomiting... this morning still feel jelly feet... Would've asked for MC if today's not the first working day of the year! Already had 2 breakfast this morning, and still snacking away. Tummy popped out 2 weeks ago but is wobbly with fats/water.
I told my hubby, I am so depressed. I think after yesterday, he finally realised how stressed and depressed I am. Usually he tease me, so good life, drink horlicks on the bed, watch tv on the bed, blah blah blah. Yesterday he saw me go green with the runs and vomits....

Hi bearbear, my son attend hougang pri. How abt urs? This morning brought him to sch, attended e sch talk, managed to see him at recess time, went to his classroom. His sch assigned p3 students to help p1 students to buy food during recess time. I can see tat he is adapting quite well in his sch
later will b going bk to his sch n follow him to e student care. How time flies.. It was like yesterday tat my boi was just a baby. N nw he is already in pri sch.. I was almost on tears when my hub n i saw him carry his bag n walk to e hall tis morning..
Gynae just gave me 7 days hospitalisation mc to rest at home. A bit overkill but I shall not speak too soon. He said to drink sugary drinks and suggested even coke and 100plus cos water may worsen the nausea. Ribena is working well so far... N take small meals, no milk, spicy n oily stuffs.
Angelic: my tummy is bloated too.. Top half above belly button is bloated, like how i was during week 16 of my first pregnancy.. Lower half of tummy, below belly button is getting bigger and firmer too, but top half of tummy is bigger than lower half. Weird hor..
I started wearing maternity pants since last week. Cannot wear my normal pants liao. I sit down, cannot breathe..

Usha: Yay!
I hope you're feeling better now tho. Do take care.
Amanda and ttcing: Ribena is my life saviour too! Sometimes I find I can't drink any water then I'll add ribena and I can drink half a cup at least. I find I can't drink a lot of water if not I'll feel like puking, then I start worrying about dehydration. So many worries since it's my #1!
Angelic and BabyS: I'm also bloated and so hungry suddenly at times. I can't fit into my pants, and some dresses make me look like my baby pooch is showing. The hunger just hits and I need to eat, if not I'll feel nauseous. Same like you, BabyS, bloatedness hits me immediately after I eat then I regret. I think part of my bloatedness is cos' I'm eating too much too ha ha ha.
