Stiletto,
Me too have been drinking everday until I went to the gynae and the nurses brewing a pot of green tea and say very nice but they treat me to it after birth of baby.. So I went to ask my gynae and he say it slows the growth of baby. I was like ahhh!!! Now then say... hehe.
fen,
heh I mixing cold water with outside water to make my water slightly cooler and not freezign cold like out of the fridge. Hope it is better than totally cold. hiaz. so many restrictions hor?
j monster,
me too coffeelover. In fact I just went to Satrbucks too after my last gynae appt. I ordered a Sunrise ice blended. Then my 16mth old finished it!! Thank goodness he was busy exploring the place b4 he drink it so by the time he drink it, it is not cold anymore. hahah otherwise go home cough cough.
Violetmum,
Dun stress. I still puking. Actually I have been feeling better but then here and there still actually throw up food. It will pass ok?? hang in there dearie! My first pregnancy i lost 5kg for 1st trimester. Now this one I gained about 2kg initially and now lost back 3kg.. for 1st trimester, baby have yolk sac to eat so no need our food intake much. 2nd tri onwards, the placenta fully formed liao then will need us to eat more. but when placenta fully formed, the production of hormones that we produced so much and made us sick is going to be taken over by the placenta theerefore we will all start to eat more really soon without the nausea!!

Dlim,
i put on 3kg during my 8th wk, can imagine what i will become at later stage... but good thing is now i still can wear my working clothes last time. hv not reached the stage of wearing any maternity wear. some more my SILs will pass me theirs maternity wears, so save up a bit. even for BB clothes (be it for boy or for girl), they will also pass me theirs...so SAVE SAVE SAVE
but i hv bought a few baby doll dress frm HK, not just for pregnancy but also good for cover up stomach after gave birth.

Hi violetmum
The oscar test is quite expensive..it costs $320!
I also worry abt the result.. gynae advised me to go for oscar test since the nuchal test result is on the high side.
I didnt hv to do this test for my 1st preg..so it is a bit worrying for me.
Hopefully everything is gonna be alright. I'm going for the test this fri morning.. will update you on what to expect.

hi jmonster,
the backpain is mostly due to softening of the ligament plus your posture. After entering 2nd trimester, you may want to try doing some light exercise such as swimming, aquaaerobic for preggie mums or yoga. It may helps to relieve those pains.
I intend to sign up for yoga class once my gynae confirm my pregnancy is stablised.I did yoga during my last pregnancy, and I didn't have any problem with body ache or pains. I'm not sure if it helps but I did have easier delivery as compare to many of my friends.
Hi violetmum,
same here, i stopped vomitting for a while but it came back with a vegence on friday night. It was so bad that I decided to skip dinner. My appetite hasn't been good since then, my mum even commented I look pale.
Really look forward to 2nd trimester and end of morning sickness. At the meantime, I will try to eat nutrious food when possible lor
Hi Dlim,
I have started to wear maternity clothes since week 9. My tummy start to show early for this pregnancy and I thought no point spending additional $$ buying bigger size clothes which I can only wear for at the most 1 month.

Hi Augleo, yup agreed with u. My mind is all "what if" until im so tired & stress out. Guess we really worry too much & i heard it will affect the bb as well. But what can we do, as a mom, we will sure worry alot of things for my bb.
So the waiting of result has to be 2 weeks? Oh No...Cant image how am i going to do during the 2 weeks time.
Hi jmonster, I feel hungry very easily & end up I eat alot during my 3 meals. I do no have any MS. Wat abt u? Oh..u so lucky..yr SIL can pass u their maternity wears + BB clothing. I still need to ask ard to see who can pass me cox im the only daughter & my husband is the elderst. Sign..I have also been looking ard for baby doll dress but only saw a few. Maybe when I have time, i will drop by those maternity wear & take a look at their clothing.

Yes, me too.. u know what i do? I put 2 pieces of water cushions on my bed (one under my back, one under my butt)and i sleep on them. It really helps! I dont feel the pressure at the waist or back throughout the night.
Maybe you can try it too? I feel the water cushions takes the presure off the back and waist.. but i'm not sure it is good to sleep like that or not.. hahaha

hi Dlim,
ya lucky for me. for the maternity + BB clothings, some of them hv not been worn before. so i can take loh but my SILs are quite big size not sure i can fit in well in the clothes or not.
if not, i still hv to buy some. btw, there's a shop at Raffles Place, Arcade 2nd floor, selling maternity clothes, looks nice & think not so ex. u can take a look at their clothes if u go there.
i also eat a lot a lot.. no MS as well. just feel super tired & back pain these few days

hi hopper,
I went to the Spring Maternity at Suntec.. IMF right? But not crowded.. the mall is very quiet..
If I'm not wrong, there is one in Plaza Sin and one in Century Sq (Small section at level 2 'exclusively hers')..
Hi jmonster,
I read that the backpain is most likely due to the loosening of joints/ligaments by our actively producing hormones.. so it's quite common.. mine has worn out.. but chk with your gynae if very painful and disturbing..
Btw, me too.. been eating well most of the time but last night puked my dinner out, triggered by neighbour's cooking smell.. terrible..

Hi jmonster,
Thanks. I think I need to go shopping for shoes this weekend becos all my working shoes are high heels. hmm...seems like I am going to spend a lot of money even before baby is born. After shoes, I think the next few weeks got to shop for maternity clothes too even though now the tummy is not showing yet.

stileto,
Nuchal test is only with ultrasound scan. It is included in the oscar test. for oscars, they will do the ultrasound first, then do blood work to check the maternal serum free beta HCG and PAPP-A. after that they feed the data into a computer and the computer tells you 1 in how many chance you have a down's baby. usually 1 in 300 and above is a good number. but below 300, they may order more tests like an amnio. hope it helps!
SC,
My tummy have started rounding out liao lah..
kekek next time we meet up you see. this monday you going?

hi violetmum,
no need to buy too many pairs. for my case, i only bought 2 pairs & i think its sufficient, 1 in white & the other 1 in dark blue cos easy to mix & match.
btw, my SIL still wearing the flats though her gal already 1 yr old cos need to carry her gal. so i think i will only be able to wear back the heels when the BB is able to walk stabily.

Thanks so much for your infor...its really a good deal. 2 pairs at 15% discount, then i can buy 2 different colours. I went to Charles & Kieth last sat & it was having last 2 days sales. It was so pack that i have no mood to look at their shoes.
Thanks again ya..

Yes, wenthena is right abt the difference btw nuchal test and oscar test. Oscar test is a more detailed test to test for abnormalities like down syndrome. It involves ultra sound scanning and blood tests. If the results for oscar test is no gd,I guess i'll be sent for amnio tests, which i hope will never happen. Keeping my fingers crossed.
