hi fun,
its very normal, i felt nausea, stomach bloated at times too, but more of tireness and nausea. Make sure you are comfortable, eat someting u like, get more rest. Be easy on your stomach, some food might causes you to feel even more lousy. I try to avoid fry and oily food.

Hello everyone,
Sneaky
Welcome to this thread, a very busy thread indeed.
tingting
I use the tiger balm on my temples and forehead for migraine. Gives some relief but does not take it away. Any remedies for migraine during pregnancy?
A lot of you ask about sharp pains. I had very sharp pains in my lower abdomen and sometimes on my sides and I went to see my gynae. He said it is coz of the womb that is getting bigger and the ligaments that need to "loosen" to accomodate it. No need to be alarmed. But if you get very sharp pain in the lower abdomen something like period pain but much worse and it is accompanied with spotting, you have reason for concern. Hope this helps. When in doubt, phone your gynae.
A silly question but something that I have noticed. Mosquitoes seem to bite me more now than before. They never really used to bite me, i thought I was quite immune to them but now that I am pregnant, I get like 4 - 5 bites at night. anybody experience this too? Right now, as I am typing away, I have just been bitten 4 times already! Very irritating!

Something that is excellent for constipation is stewed prunes or even dried prunes. You can also buy prune juice. Increase your roughage intake, such as more raw fruit and veg and whole grains. Eat whole wheat bread also.
Fun
I know exactly how u feel, when I was just 5 weeks I was so bloated and sometimes now still, that I literally looked about 5 or 6 months pregant already. It was very uncomfortable and even painful at times. I have now found if I eat more raw fruit and veg and less processed foods like pasta and white bread, it's less.
Mmm, I got the munchies, I would really love to tuck into some roti prata right now, or some Hong Kong noodles or even wonton noodles....haven't had it for almost 3 years...sure miss it! Gonna see what's in the fridge to nibble on...

newmumsa,
i have no relief for headaches/migraine, but since they are usually caused by tension, impt thing is to try and relax. it helps to stay in a cool dark (ie not bright) room, and lie down in bed with some soothing music. also avoid spicy stuff. i will usually try this before applying oilment or take medicine cos i dowan to be "addicted" to them.
miso & vone, dun envious me... cos my "thinness" is not spread evenly.. i also have big hips n heavy bottom.. pear-shaped figure...
hi reenie, i've got no provision shop here...i'm in a new town.. but will try to get my way around it...thanks for the tips!

newmumsa, d reason y mosquitoes like u more these days is coz of our higher body temperatures. they r attracted 2 d warm blood, tat's y u tend 2 get bitten more these days. it's d same case 4 me, wat i do is tat i apply tis anti mosquito lotion fr johnson baby, it helps 2 prevent me fr getting bitten.
tingting, sometimes u get get loose carrots & potatoes in supermkts. jus keep a lookout 4 them.

hi erowen, think i understand abt mayo..cos we're not supposed to eat eggs that are not thoroughly cooked. but i wld think mayo is already processed, so any bacteria wld have been killed...
rotiboy is a bit over priced lah... at $1 per bun. the crust is baked till quite crispy, n when u bite u can taste the sinful butter oozing out...
i've eaten it 3 times so far, n still quite like it... din dare to eat more cos it's so fattening, but now no need care for weight so want to eat again..haha...
confused, my mil also seldom cooks, but her cooking a bit "unconventional" one.. not used to it... still prefer my daddy's cooking..hehe..

My colleagues were very worried and kept asking if i'm okie, i was abit too shocked to say anything. But i find myself difficult to get up even though my colleagues helped me up.

Wah, this morning already so many posting.
erowen, you need to be more careful now. I have switched to low heels since preggie and also walk more consciously.
Yesterday cannot tahan the pain at the tail-bone so went to apply some deep-heat to the area. feel much better today. Wondering if there is any negative impact on bb due to application of such analgesic cream?

hoishi5 - thanks for the advise. i know, sometimes i do give n take its them. (they are petty) whenever they quarrel(son n family) the family member especially MIL will show me face n say something bad abt me. (not fair to me right) actually i m very upset abt all these n sometimes feel that i shouldnt marry. Now bcos of bb i got to ren lor. Anyway my PIL does not know that i m pregnant liao. u gals MIL know that you pregnant liao mah?
vone, we already gave up spring cleaning..just that MIL kept reminding us to clean the windows (I think she saw how dirty it was once and remembered...) Maybe will ask hubby to clean this weekend.. my poor hubby also haven't buy any CNY clothes yet leh... cos. i no mood to go shopping with him then he also no mood to buy on his own hehe...
hoshi, yap, just got married last Oct which was just 4mth ago.. and I'm now 2mth preggie
.. so surprise when tested positive.. thot our partime course so stress won't be so easy to conceive.. then my colleague joke and say we must be very fertile hehe..
hoshi, yap, just got married last Oct which was just 4mth ago.. and I'm now 2mth preggie
cakey... haha.. dunno if it's hardworking studying or making bb... haha... i also no mood to go shop 4 my hubby clothes... but felt very bad coz he brought me shopping and buy so many clothes for me. So last week, went shop shop and he bought 3 shirts at one go.... hehee..
confused, perhaps u let them know that u r preggie and they won't go so hard on u?... maybe next time they quarrel, u try to sound ur hb out. Then next time ur PIL will know tat u r trying to help out in the relationship.
ya, my PIL were in taiwan when we called them and broke the news to them. my FIL very 'happy' and bought a lot of chicken essence for me to take. Ask me to take one bottle every alternate days coz he know studying very stress lor.... hehe.. last week he bought 2 more packs....

confused, sometimes we as dil got 2 1 ear in & 1 ear out, esp now since u r preggy. u noe when my mil noes tat i'm preggy, d 1st thing she told hb is tat she wldn't do my confinement. i was pretty hurt when i heard tat. i hv no intention of asking her 2 help at all in d 1st plc so y is she saying tat?? then my fil told my hb 2 tell me 2 b more careful as d chances of me hving a m/c is veri high as my menses r irregular?? helo... as if my menses hv anything 2 do wif my pregnancy, but hb told me 2 jus ignore them & concentrate on hving a healthy bb. so even when i c them during cny, i wld pretend tat i didn't noe anything abt wat they say. kinda of like makes life easier 4 me when i face them.
oh, my pil oledi knew tat i m preggy coz my hb got a veri big mouth. he told them when it's cfmed.
cakey, ya, me aso in d same situation.
hoshi5, wah ur pil r so sweet.
