hi rnjt,
i feel nausea and urge to vomit but nothing comes out. the gas issue is the main thingy tat is bothering me the most.
my SIL did not have MS at all during her last pregnancy. maybe you are the lucky few!
so dun worry.
the Clarins tonic is highly recommended by Cleo editor (who recently gave birth) and a few frens of mine are also singing praises abt the tonic.
most gynea will say tat it's a waste of money coz ultimately it boils down to genes.
btw ladies,
are all of you going for natural birth?

MBB,
I am going for natural birth without epidural too if possible... My hubby wants it this way too as he heard too much side effects of epidural. BTW, I heard from my fren that if we have natural birth, our muscle there will become lax and less tight. Is it true?
Serene,
I started using the stretchmark cream over the weekends. When it comes to personal beauty, we gotta be KS..hee
Wintermum,
I still hv discharge but it is only a little and clear in color..
Jackie,
I am gonna try without epidural first..but again it depends on circumstances..if there is any complications and need a C-sec or epidural then no choice...

Okasan, Serene - U 2 are very brave ah! I dont think I can manage without epidural cos I have a really low pain threshold. I watched this chinese variety show thats on TV8 every thursday, and this woman said exactly the same thing Serene said, that if her mom can do it, so can she. U have my admiration! For me, i am already thinking the sooner i can have my epidural, the better!
Wintermum, u hv discharge problem? I am constantly plaqued by yeast infection, that gives me yellowish discharge than is often foul smelling. But no matter how i treat it, it tends to come back quickly. I have chked with my gynae, it seems that pregnancy gives the environment for the infection to thrive, and its normal.
Its some updates after my gynae visit last sat. My EDD is once again confirmed as 1 Dec, and my sac is now 10mm. Can see heartbeat so I can terribly relieved and happy.

wintermum,
So long as the discharge is not brownish or red should be fine. To clear your doubt better check with your gyane.
berry,
Thank u i will take good care. Cause not forever so lucky.
dey,
I saluate u
Muahchie,
I saw that programme too. That lady is gg for BB no.2 without epidural. Really brave
MBB,
Saw from Channel 8 programme that it is better to have natural birth cause the pain is only during delivery while C-section pain will come after delivery and take 1 mths average to heal...

hi 1stly warm welcome all new MTBs.
regarding c-section i hv a question. i have heard of ppl who say that they have to go for c-section because the baby head never turn down. So is there anything that we can do to prevent baby head from not turning????

Serene - As long as it doesnt itch or smell, I think its fine, its sounds normal to me. 
MBB - I am trying for natural with Epi as much as possible, unless circumstances make it necessary for me to have a C section. Becos I am actually allegic to painkillers like panadol and synflex, I think I will be in serious trouble if I have a C section!

Hi
My EDD is 8 Dec. Really nice to join the rest Dec Mum-to-be.
I have been feeling very sick for the last few days. Giddiness and nausea for almost the whole day. Worst still, i had aversion for all foods. Really no appetite.
Anyone has any experience to share?

welcome irene n yipee. jackie, hv to take care of yourself.
i started throwing up over the weekend. actually i was really glad i threw up, cos the nausea actually subsides 1-2 hours after throwing up n i could eat.
i'm trying for natural with epidural. but i think i will discuss with my gynae when it's nearer the delivery date. i'm more worried abt which ward to check myself into. i've heard so many horror stories of the horrendous charges that neonatal icu charges.
muahchie, same here! i'm allergic to most painkillers n definitely allergic to anaesthetics. i puke every half hr for 24 hrs after surgery usually, so i'm going to avoid c-section if i can. r u back at work?
rnjt, most women experience ms, but abt 30% don't. no need to worry abt not experiencing it.
ivy, in the mayo's guide, it says that if the doctors suspect that the baby's position is wrong, the gynae will attempt to rotate the baby by massaging your tummy. cannot remember the term that was used.
irene, i also hv aversion to most foods. the mayo's clinic guide's advise for food aversion is to eat small portions frequently (as and when u r hungry). never allow urself to be totally hungry or totally full. if ms is bad, try to eat some bland, easy-to-digest foods, like porridge, biscuits etc. i find that i still enjoy fruits n nuts, so that's what i eat when i'm hungry. remember to keep drinking water. dehydration will make the ms worse.

So long as BB is healthy can liao. The size doesnt matter since ovaluation is alway much later than menst date
Berry,
I dont think u can control when the BB turn their head upside down to be ready for birth.
Serene,
The show is every thursday 930-10pm at Channel U. Saw the programme for the 1st time last week. Quite interesting

Och - Yeah, back at work. On one hand, I am glad to be doing something in the office, on the other, I wish I can go back to nurse my headache & sleep! I am such a sleepy head now that I am pregnant! oh u poor thing, allergic even to anaesthetics? Both GA & LA? Luckily, I don't react badly after GA. But pain, I really cant. Normal headache can tahan, but I really cant imagine the kind of pain of a C section...hopefully they can give me morphine for something if I really need to go thru that.
Ivy, i am a horse. So if my baby is a dog, we are supposed to be able to get along, cos my hubby is a dog too. Apparently so becos dogs and horses are all household animals. haha. Yeah, lets work twds natural birth!
Oh welcome irene & Fizz!
I just want to share my most recent aversion - the smell of freshly baked bread! It used to be aromatic, but now I just want to puke! The worse is breadtalk!!

hi gals,
berry, i really hope i can see tomolo oso, very excited but i think im probably ard 5 weeks to 6 weeks the most..so not sure if baby can detect heartbeat at tis time, will update u all tomolo
muachchie, i oso dunno why..i was actually suppose to do an emergency cerclage tat night, so a nurse hugged me real tight and told me no matter wat, just dun move..it took so long and it was so painful tat i cried out a few times..in the end, after another dr tried as well, she said my spine technically not able to draw out duno wat thing so have to abandon the whole anesthetic procedure..i ended up giving birth to the 1st baby naturally and had to had my cervix sewn up..alamak, i tot i was going to die on the operating table..could feel every stitch and needle going thru, they gave me laughing gas but it didnt stop me from feeling all the pain..my bp went up so high, they had to try shaking me to wake up after the whole op was over but i was too shocked to respond..it was the worse thing ever..2 weeks later, had an infection and cause i couldnt have any anesthetic, i gave birth to the remaining 2 babies naturally..but really not so bad cause i think they were rather small..so now with this pregnancy, im still considering whether to go thru natural or c-section lor.

hi gals,
berry, sorry dun mean to scare u..its really up to individual tolerance of pain..for me its just a real shock to learn tat at a time when u need the anesthetic tat i cant have epidural esp when u hear so many stories of women taking epidural whilst in labour..but my friend did have an epidural and she said she was totally numb, didnt feel any pain at all while delivering her baby..so dun be frightened
my aunty said both her sons she went thru c-section, she say not pain..so i oso lost, dunno which 1 to choose
mbb, thanks for the additional info, i will go and take a look and give it a try

hi puipui80
just popping by to kpo. I am a nov mtm. saw your epi experience made me shiver for a while. Is it so bad that you will never think of taking that again? I had a gf who delivered last week and had a bad experience with epi also.she said tt the jab is so painful that she kept on tearing...even worse than labour pain. is that true for you as well??

hi warmest welcome to you Fizz....
Och so you are a dragon, so i'm 1 year older than you.
oh jackie, i was reading thru' the old threads and realise we might be same age so i ask loh.
Muahchie that's good lei... 2 dogs and 1 horse so you win liao loh... family sure good harmony one.
Dey, i heard rabbit is good with Pig lei.. Initially, i wanted to wait to make Pig bb. But my mum say Pig always bully by people. so now have dog also happy lah.
Have you gals predict the gender of your bb? All rabbit mummies, you could have a baby boy lei. That's what the chart show lah.. How accurate not too sure. But got friends tell me both her children aso accurate. Just for the fun of it only. Don't take it too seriously k. But we can tabulate how accurate it is when we all know the gender of our baby.
