icylemon,
Heheh, I drink ji jing to combat fatigue actually, nothing to do with being preggie... Been doing it since secondary school lor.... hahahahhahaha...
Told my bosses about my pregnancy liao because quite a number of my colleagues are speculating already, so I thought it's better that I tell mgmt directly first before they hear it thru the grapevine.

mrs wong, the recipe for the wine is quite difficult la. my mum said last time she spoilt few times then only success and know how to make the wine now. Sometimes she will make for the pregnant neighbours lor. Here goes the recipe but i m not sure i can remembered it correctly hehe.
Firstly, cook the glutinous rice and let it dry overnight. Please make sure when drying it, not to allow the vapor to wet back the rice lor. If not it will spoilt. After the rice is cooled n dry, then u make the wine biscuit to become powder. 600g of rice needs one wine biscuit. Mix the wine biscuit powder with the rice. While mixing, prepare a small bowl of cooked water to wet our sticky hand on n off during the mixing. Put the mixed rice with biscuit powder inside the big jar. Then pour the remaining small bowl of cooked water into it. For 3kg of rice, needs one bottle of white wine. Pour the white wine into the jar too. Keep the jar from sunlight, cover it n cannot open for 3 days. Then drain out the wine to throw the mixed rice n biscuit powder. This step is tedious as it needs long time to drain. Make sure cannot kena tap water. After that boil the wine, cannot over boiled. After boiled, let it cool down n make sure no vapor too. After cooled, pour into the bottle and tightly seal then keep for 100 days. If got vapor, the wine will spoilt.

zenn,
Read somewhere before that danggui not good for pregnancy... could have been the TTC thread? Hehheh... but then different practitioners will also give you different advice la... But I am trying to keep off herbs in general because I think the effects of many herbs (whether chinese or western) are undocumented, best not to meddle lor...
sometimes the body naturally aborts the baby because the baby already has certain inherent defects, esp during 1st trimester... take it as God's will lo, meant to be... :|

zenn, icylemon, no mummies with MS still cant feel the baby inside at this moment. I read somewhere saying that if we are still hving MS everyday, meaning the baby is growing well inside the tummy lor. if no MS, no symptoms, mummy dunno the bb is growing or not ma, so tats y sometimes will feel worry.
icylemon, not to say that no MS is good or bad la. It depends to individual one. No MS, then mummy no need to suffer n the bb still can grows well inside tummy leh. mint toothpaste still ok for me but not the sweets la.

zenn, MS usually caused by increase of hormone in our body, thats y if got MS, meaning our placenta n baby is growing well inside. I guess normal MS is good but terrible MS like wat u eat u puke that is really suffering as no good nutrient can be absorbed by our body lor.
JUNE, I go to my usual beautician for full body waxing. It is at Hougang.
For bikini wax, I go to Mohd Sultan.
Email me at [email protected] so that I can give you the contacts.

doggiebebe...maybe you politely tell your mil to make once a week?
Actually, at this moment, the baby is not absorbing anything from us yet. It is still feeding from the yolk sac.
During your u/s, once you can see the placenta, that is when your baby is actually starting to absorb from us.
Eating good stuff is not only for baby, but also to prepare our body for the pregnancy ahead. Imagine lugging around so much extra weight! Our body really will need the extra nutrients.
My mum has been using the thermal pot to cook soups with different fruits. Papaya soup, pear soup, apple soup, etc. She says during pregnancy, taking fruit soups are good. Anyway, it tastes nice, so no arguements from me
For MS, it is caused by too much hormones. Some people are not affected even if they have alot of hormones. But MS is a sign of strong pregnancy hormones. Trick is to eat small frequent meals and avoid milk in the morning. Different people will have different reaction to different foods. I can't tahan smelling fried foods, will feel nauseous smelling fried foods.

ladies,
i dunno, i guess some older people advise not to drink herbal stuff at 1st tri... some i heard say was too much for the mother's body.. maybe over heaty, some say becos now too early, anyway tonic is useless.
zenn,
I know danggui is for creating blood or what, so if ur menses coming, cant eat becos generate more blood, but i dunno abt pregnancy can eat or not.
i feel breathless, but i guess cant so anything much cos now blood flow to the bb as well.. so mummy easier tired and no strength.
with regards to bb w/o heartbeat, YES, very common.. *sigh* 1 in every 5 cases, when doc told me this I was real shock. It happens to me on my last m/c and doctor can only say it is becos of bad gene/ or even bad luck as 2 things, either one is not so good, when merge together they lost some impt information which hinder the growth later on.. There is nothing we can do to prevent it.. perhaps just healthy living between the 2 couple before they start TTC.

zenn, since you have some contacts of confinement lady in hand. Better start calling them now. Some are reluctant to help during CNY period. Others might already have an assignment then.

Yah, my average temp is 37.3 to 37.4 deg instead of 36.9 deg. I also wondering if it is fever cos am having flu at the same time.
Hi gals, thanks for your encouragement..I am on MC today..felt so much better..each time I felt like vomiting, I just lie down..it just works..sighz, got to go back work tomorrow again...
Actually quite worried about my baby growth..had been 2 weeks since my last gynae visit...Thursday going appt again..looking forward to it!
I told my hubby to tell me a joke every night before bedtime..so as to make me happier and not cry...it works for me yesterday, even though I was hugging the toilet bowl whole day yesterday..
Just wish that the 2nd Trimester reach faster so that I can enjoy this pregnancy..so envy those who have no MS..
