Why scared of the curry? Anything inside we can't eat?Occasionally I have my Mac breakfast one ley...like a few days back, I had Big Breakfast with 2 hot cakes and iced Milo
Prata, me not really cos me scared of the curry ley...then prata without curry is like BLEH
duck rice ah? braised or roasted?
Haha u funny de.... But ya think we will miss the days when u can just ignore them cos they are in ur tummy lol... They come out need attention 24/7 liao...
No la...maybe a bit paranoid la, like the coconut milk in the curry is not fresh etc...
I have finally passed the first trimester - it was full of nausea and more nausea. And I was like a zombie thoughout.
Starting of second trimester now.. While I feel slightly better; my little one is trying to turn the mummy into a hippo.. During the day, I get hungry like every 2 hrs!
The appetite definitely increased by 300% from first trimester. I eat like at least 6 meals a day
I am paranoid about gaining too much weight and being unhealthy; the paper just reported the GD is bad for both mommy and child
I tried to eat healthier but little one is so picky. *headache*
I tried avoid supper but no supper equal to no sleep. *fainted*
Haiz...
Here's the link to the report:

Quotes from report:
Mommy - "The Gusto study found 10 per cent of these women developed full-blown diabetes within five years of childbirth, when they were only in their 30s."
Child - "Many people who are obese or diabetic are afflicted by these conditions because their mothers had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) while carrying them."
Boo...don't be too affected by harmless comments. Been there done that during MS for the 1st time, I was tearing up when my hub told me that my baby needs food especially FISH (People already having MS and steering away from fish and you tell me to eat fish?!)
Japanese curry not too bad cos it doesn't use coconut milk BUT you don't know how long it was cooked. BY RIGHT, anything that is over 4 hours should not be eaten la....but if everything is so strict, practically you got to ground yourself and eat all your meals at home. So usually I will try to eat lunch earlier at 1130am where they just cooked their stuff and if can, buy food that is like instantly cooked.
Bo bian one laa...most of us here understand the situation cos we have been here, done that! Nothing is new, eat bread, some bak kwa, oats, cereal, french fries and all the funny things that you never imagine you would eat pre-pregnancy. My hubs kept shaking his head and asked "can meh? like that can meh? don't eat fish can meh?" Question is, cannot means cannot. Cant even stand the smell, how to even stomach?
We belong to the paranoid and kiasee type
I eat roasted one. Crispy skin. HeeheeOccasionally I have my Mac breakfast one ley...like a few days back, I had Big Breakfast with 2 hot cakes and iced Milo

Actually the vitamin Dr is fish oil too. I into more meat. Fish occasionally only.
We decided that we not taking the package. The package is actually for 10 consultations inclusive of simple routine scan and the urine test strip. The nurse told us ideally start from week16. We counted that we may not use up all 10 starting from next visit so the cost not much diff.
All along I'm not a fish person, now even more difficult to stomach fish. Can't even stomach red meat much.. What brand fish oil are u taking?
Should have make known mah. We checked with counter, only then was told discuss with Dr the next visit. So no need to take le. Okay
Dr Loh has package?? I asked the nurse at counter she said no....
Dr issue me obmin. I took for 3mths then can't stomach in. Now change to some prenatal multi vitamin. Took for 1mths. Think I need to ask dr to change again. Realize after taking I fall sick more easier. Always have cough n sore throat. Hmmm
Yes it's $1100 if I'm not wrong. Covers 10 consultations with simple scan and the routine urine test strip. Can only start from wk 16. No refund if you don't use up 10 visits. Also doesn't cover 3D scans or any extra like subsequent late pregnancy tests (eg GTT, Strep B test etc). Seems that they don't actively sell the package. I asked Dr Loh about it and only when he said can consider then the nurse will provide further details. As I only asked about it at week 19, we counted that we probably need another 5 to 6 visits at most so this package not valuable for us le. Think if twins or more complicated cases where more frequent visits definitely worth it, otherwise not so.
The Thomson prenatal class can start earliest at week 20 onwards. 6 weekly sessions inclusive of 1 doctor's talk. See details via this link - http://www.thomsonmedical.com/childbirth-education-course-2/
There's another popular fish oil specially for pregnancy - Prolacta. I was taking alternative brand which hubby also took before pregnant but doc felt too potent for me so prescribed this one. I find it quite ok, capsule not big and only need to take one daily. So far no fishy burps from it.
Thanks! Not worth for me too since I m already at week 25
Thank you will try to stay positive at the moment still tearing up whenever I think of the CP*hugs*
Must be optimistic. Still have 3 frozen embryos is good.
I have only one normally fertilized embryo from my IVF and I had to do a delayed transfer (FET) but that one and only made it. We must be positive and have faith! Jiayou.
Brew homemade. U can buy the red dates and longan from any medical hall.
Actually the books enough liao... Find that most of the info i learnt from the prenatal class was forgotten during delivery. And if u got CL, u learn from her can liao. It was helpful for my husband though.
Prolacta can be bought outside or need to be prescribed by doc?
Save about $40 each visit provided simple scan but if cannot use up the 10 visits, not worth it le.
I haven't seen it outside though. But I just googled and found this online store think by Novena Medical Center selling it -
Yes exactly same review as a Friend who gave birth recently. She said by birth and after that, mostly forgotten and nothing beats on the job learning
Yes I will deliver at TMC by dr Loh. I feel more comfortable to follow through with him as we did Ivf with him and besides I don't have other fixed obgyn before seeing dr Loh. If you do choose kk, best to have a doc from kk who also familiar with iui and ivf like the popular Dr THH. I know some docs not keen to take in Ivf pregnancies for fear of complications (though I cannot agree) etc. You would not feel safe with a doc who is not confident of his obgyn practice just becoz patient's is Ivf pregnancy right. These are some considerations. Ultimately it is personal choice if you decide to switch. And if you decide to switch, better decide soon so that you can plan next consultation to allow more time for the replacement doc to get familiar with your wife's pregnancy.
It's up to u bah... Personally i followed thru. Got pros and cons.
We also counted the increased visits at later stage but also cannot finish 10 times, else will take the package lo. Thanks bunny
I'm not getting CL. My mum will help me for confinement and my dad also knows how to cook the confinement food. I heard PEM not bad and someone also recommended Thomson CL. If get private, best get referral from those who use the same CL before. Maybe other mtbs can share more reviews.
Hi pacpl, I'm sorry that you are going through this. Be kind to yourself and take time. Condition your health and hope you heal well to go for FET when you feel ready.
