(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

hi chrys, ok. Would be careful.

missmoon & fruitee, my last nite were equally bad.. kept sneezing & blowing my nose. After tat kinda blocked, difficult 2 sleep. Now better, bt "nose still running".
 


hi mtdt & hong, thanks for the website.

mtdt, gd idea eh!

nites - i can sleep at nites... but the problem is keep having dreams! end up like din sleep at all.... sigh...

Jazzyjas - it's in their email mah... so it's convenient for them to read! hahaha...
btw - r u staying in punggol? u have a similar nick as a fren of mine in punggol.

Hi all,

Haven't been in for a long while and so many postings to read...
happy.gif


Just want to add that perhaps drinking orange juice everyday may not be so good? Cos according to my mum, she did that and i ended up with a lot of phglem and even got bronchotis (sorry, dunno spelling) and was hospitalised when i was 2yrs old. So perhaps everything in moderation would be better?

Just a thought...oh and what chrys said about sugar and diabetes, it's real. Gestational diabetes (those who only start getting it during pregnancy) is likely to continue on and be with you till you are older...so better watch the sugar intake...

Jazzyjas
are you feeling alright now? Must take care ley... think preggie will be sneezing & coughing quite often... for me, always!
 
Hi Hong,

Oh u meant those butterfly flappings are actually baby kicking????? I actually felt it two days ago in the middle of the night. I remember I was sleeping on my left position (the supposedly preferred position for pregant women) and when I changed to sleep on my back, the flutterings and flapping feeling kicked in!! So interesting!!

Do any of u experience stitches too at this stage? For eg, slight sharp pain at the left/right side of abdomenon?

I read that swimming is good for preggies. For me, I've started doing exercises like walking and stepper. Hope it helps in delivery!
 
Hi Fruitee, better now. Coz my nose is sensitive.
Ya loh.. when i sneezed too many times, my abs hurt.

MTDT, I am staying in punggol. Oops.. we spoke b4? Coz i dun recog ur nick.
 
I also sneeze alot recently, not sick, but just sneeze, maybe aircon too cold. And everytime i will have double sneeze, which i never had before. i tell my DH, one is from me, one from baby.
happy.gif
 
Jazz,
Cos u didnt sleep well and u vomit out the food that give u strength. That is why u feel tired.

MTBs,
if u feel tired and out of breath, I suggest u drink a bottle of Chix essense to "pu".
For those who dun like the taste of Brands chix essense can try "Eu Yang Sang". it is milder and nicer.

Another way is to take 2 slices of Pao Sheng and suck it or make it into drink.

Pls do it in the day and not at nite else u cant sleep
 
jazzyjas - ooh, u rest more lah. after vomit definately tired one. btw r u staying in blk 165x?

just a tot - the table of MTBs in July.
maybe it will be good to add our location... like punggol or SK or BP? :p


I also sneeze more often... so I guess it is normal bah.. :p
 
i also sneeze more often, and throat often very dry and itchy but not ill. so i guess it's really part and parcel of being preggie? although books didn't mention this part but with so many of us having similar symptoms, should be normal right?
 
morning gals,
went home after lunch yesterday, kinda tired.

hong, ya, on n off i am taking Pao Sheng soup. Bt dun really like the taste.

mtdt, no.. i dun live in those blks. Mine is 20X.
happy.gif


missmoon & fruitee, exactly loh! Me oso.. b4 preg, on n off. Bt now more often.
Wat abt eyes itchy?? I have it.

Hb commented tat everytime bedtime, i got "some problems" wan.. i cant help it wat..
sad.gif

Bt he wd do talk 2 me or take my attention away 2 other thhgs.
 
missmoon, saw that u eat orange everyday, better limit your intake, I heard eating too much orange baby will have a lot of phlegm.
 
Morning gals..

Jazzyjas

Dear all,

Just to ask any of you have any vaginal itchiness before/after you confirm ur pregnancy???

Mine was quite unbearable and Gyne said it is Fungus, but it won't affect the pregnancy!

I hv to really pray hard and hope for the best.

I was given cream to apply to stop the itch.
 
maxxx, since u hav consult the gynae is okie... dun worry... but u muz ensure the cleanliness loh... mayb try to wash more often... or ask if there's anymore methods to prevent it, like wearing of panty liners, then u can regularly change it to prevent the cleanliness & more hygiene...
 
Hong - Thanks for the website and the info about the baby kicking
happy.gif
Can you feel it already?

May - Wah, so lucky...you can already feel your BB kicking. Me still figuring out if I felt/feeling it or not.

MTDT - I don't mind adding another column. What do you all think?
happy.gif
Thanks for the website!

Fruittree - *hugs* Hope that you are feeling much better now.

eeyore - I too have back & shoulder aches. DH often massage lightly for me and it gets better. Maybe you can ask your DH to massage for you too.
happy.gif
Har...baby will have a lot of phlegm by eating oranges? Better cut down now.

jazzjas - *hugs* Hope you are feeling much better now.

maxxx - So sorry to hear about the itchiness! Hope that the medication provided by your OBGYN has cleared it up!

***

Anyone going to see your OBGYN next week or before CNY?

Take care everyone and rest, rest, rest!!!
 
Hi japepearl,

Can I join?

EDD: 31 July
OBGYN: Dr. YY Tan
Hospital: TMC
Gender: ?

Anyone know when is the time that we can know our BB's gender?

Any idea if pregnant woman can take blueberry juice and spirulina+wheatgrass drinks?

I'm moving to week 13 soon but oredi start suffering from insomnia. At night still no apettite, go pee pee very often in the middle of night for about 5~6 times.. the pulling sensation at my abs always keep me awake.. I look like a panda with 2 dark rings..
sad.gif
 
maxxx,

Me too had an infection. My OBGYN inserted a bullet shape tablet into my vagina and prescribed another tablet for insertion at night. She has collected some samples from the infected area for lab examination. Hopefully it won't turn out to be a bad news.
 
maxxx, since u have seen the gynae, sd not be a problem. Take care.

japepearl, thanks. Am better today. 1/2 the day gone, then its weekends.
happy.gif

i wd be going 2 c the OBGYN the week after CNY.

joline, perhaps u can cut down on fliud intake b4 u go 2 bed. Me oso still not much appetite.

Gals, r all of u working? Ever thot of resigning?
 
Joline,
welcome.
Some gynae can see the gender ard 14week some only 16 weeks.

Japepearl,
I havent feel the baby kick yet. This one slower, I think my tummy is smaller this time. May be i cant eat much althot i eat every meal but the qty is not much.

BTW, I got my Imaternity item. M american size is ok for me. I used to wear L.

I am seeing my gynae on 03 feb.

Maxxx,
I have the same problem as u. My gyane told me it is common for some women but i dun have this problem during my 1st pregnancy. He did give me something to insert into the vaginal but he said unless it is unbearable then i shld use.

He told me to just clean it with water and no any other wash cos it may worsen it. Quite true, the itchy goes away by just cleaning with water but i have to was it constantly.

Panty liner may worsen it, cos cant breath.

eeyore, Jass, Fruitee,
Backache? I have that too. It may due to our posture.
 
jazzyjas,

me oredi cut down the fluid intake to half a cup of water while taking my dinner at 7pm and stop drinking afterthat. Day time only take 1 small bottle of mineral water and 2 time soup based meal. How ar???

Me working.. tot of changing job after my 3 months maternity leave if no news for promotion this year lor..

u plan to quit and become a full time hwife to take care of BB?
 
Hong,

Thanks for the info. Ur EDD is abt 2 wks before mine, so I think most mummies here oredi know abt their BB's genders liao.. Can't wait to see mine cos getting excited to buy BB stuff and decorate his/her room. Too bad my next visit is in Feb. Sure got relatives and friends ask abt BB's gender during CNY visit... stress..

I've been on gastric pills since week6. Wonder anyone here having gastric problem at these stage. OBGYN said at later stage in 2/3 trimester we might experience heartburn.. oh no..
 
jazzyjas
thanks for the tip
happy.gif
will try that. cannot think of resigning now leh, was actually thinking of accepting new job but bb came along so decided against it. must work harder now that going to have a bb. cannot afford to have single income
happy.gif


eeyore
really ah? alamak, that's my only source of vitamin c. ok ok, better cut down. i also have shoulders and back aches although not very often but when i get it, i feel really physically unwell. usually get it in the afternoon. wonder if it's a result of looking at computer too much?

i also had an itch down below but it lasted only a day leh. so i didn't see gynae for it. i wonder should i have? also, does anyone have discharge ah? i've had it for a few weeks now.

japepearl.
i m seeing gynae only on 1 feb after cny. feel so insecure this past month since my last visit, dunno growth & development of bb.
 
Joline,
Mine not confirm so dun want to announce yet.

It will be fun listening to relatives guessing the gender of the baby on their own way. It may not be a bad thing.

U have gastric? cos ur preggie or u have it all the while? Must rbr to eat, try to take small amt n many meals. It shld help. I always have slices of bread with me so i will have something during tea-break and a slice before i go home.
 
Japepearl
Thanks...
happy.gif
Better already after a good nite sleep last nite though..

Jazzyjas
I thinking of quitting my job ley.. cos way too stressful liao..
sad.gif
 
oh, most of u know ur bb gender already har, I still dunno yet, on 14-jan doc still can't confirm.

i doesn't have itch (touchwood)... but I feel there's alot more discharge than before & quite irritating...

b4 i got pregnant, I tot of changing jobs, but after tat too tired tot of resigning... however, having a bb means required more financial help so cannot think of tat already...

sign... just now had my lunch but feeling stomach abit terrible, went to vomit out... now feeling very hungry...
 
missmoon, mine is a deskboung job, so sitting posture mayb the problem... i try to stick those plaster... wondering if it's okie...
 
hong, thanks for the link.
happy.gif


joline, did u chk wif ur gynae abt this? Since u taken less water so sd be less frequent, rite?
Umm.. full-time housewife has not cross my mind yet.

fruitee & missmoon,
I am considering after i know i am preg. True loh, surviving on single-income mite be qte tough.
Bt i am always tired.. have been taking leave qte often.

missmoon, i have yellowish dischrg.. now more freq since after preg. Gynae said it ok since no itch.

Btw, can drink chrysanthemum tea? Drinking plain water.. blend.
A frd said she din touch tea for almost 1yr since she preg & after delivery. Oh ya.. mentioned tat too much bird nest, bb mite have phelgm.
 
eeyore, i still dunno bb's gender either.
how abt u buy a cushion & put behind ur back?

u must check if those plaster mention anythg abt using when preg coz the tiger balm for neck & shoulder has such a clause 2 chk wif doc b4 usage or somethg.

Dear all,

Sorry to post again! pls ignore.

Many thanks for all those who hv responded.
I feel much better now.


Dear Joline,

May i know the itchiness came during ur which stage of pregnancy?
 
Hi Joline,

You asked about the wheatgrass drink. The pple at the medical hall that sells this kind of drink say it would be too cooling for bb. ok for our bodies but they cant take it. When my boy was being breastfed, i didn't know and took it then he lao sai. so think better not take safer. Haven't heard anything about blueberry though...

also you mentioned gastric? i used to suffer from that once in a while. my gynae said it's due to the air/gas in tummy area...gave me mylanta liquid to take so maybe you could check with your gynae?

hope this helps...
 
jazzyjas
now i know it must be normal lah. i was worried if it were fungus or UTI...ya, yellowish discharge but no itch. heng ah.

i was also contemplating to take leave or time off work but decided to ask for a lighter work load instead. so tired by the time afternoon comes. head feels heavy like i've worked very hard...haha. i think should avoid chrysanthemum tea leh, cos quite liang. but then, if drink in moderation, it's ok?

eeyore, i also dunno bb's gender although at my last scan it was still too early to tell. when i see my gynae on 1 feb, i will be almost 16 wks, so hopefully can tell then.

I read from website that blueberry does help the pregnancy but i need to confirm with OBGYN first.. me too find it difficult to swollow the plain water.. still resist to milk and milo cos scared of the milky taste.. must find something for replacement..
