Hi Fong
i have been drinking less and less water since i found out im pregnant cos water makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable.....
i used to sleep thru the night but recently woke up just once to pee or not at all during the night...
could be becos i drink lesser water now or could also be just individual's reaction to the pregnancy.
dont worry so much.... wait for the rest of the ladies in this forum to tel;l u of their experiences or u can ask ur doc to clear your doubts.

Hi Augelo,
My mil made one for my son too. Quite tedious process. My mum got to go to the wet market at towards the end of their business day to collect the remaining bean sprout shells, after which, wash a few time and remove the unwanted bean sprouts. I then took the whole bag of shell to my in laws place where they put under the sun at their condo's swimming pool for almost a week until they become crisp like what fong mention.
I think once in a while, some girls in this forum organize bp for thse bean sprout shell pillow, you may want to check it out.
Hi cocoa,
My gynae charge me $120 for first visit and $50-$60 for subsequent visits. The ranges of gynae fees shouldn't vary too much in singapore.
Hi Fong,
Don't worry, every pregnancy is different, it doesn't matter if you don't have some of those symptoms mention in the books
I remember I used to wake up quite often at night when I was carrying my boy, For this time, I can sleep throughout the night.

hi mummies, you are having backahe problem, you might want to try prenatal massage but will suggest you concult with your gynae if your condition is ok for the massage expecially for mummies at 1st trimester. Besides, try to avoid cold drink and so called "cold" fruits/food like melon, papaya and etc which might increase the backache. just share with you..

my 3rd visit to gynae - bb measuring 30.9mm at 10weeks. oscar is 2 wks time.
enquired on 3D scan - was told shld do at 36 weeks!
so no nice video to show and keep.

Wah jmonster,
I really envy you. I think if I get half the amount of what you are eating into my stomach, I am very happy already. For lunch and dinner, usally I can only swallow half a bowl of rice or noodles. If I try to eat more than that, will be 'merlion' again. I still haven't gain back the 2kg that I have lost so far.
Something to share with all the mummies. Last night I went to City Hall and Suntec area to shop for flat shoes. They have quite nice shoes and most shops having 10-40% discount, probably becos of the IMF. If you intend to get flat shoes, should quickly go down to have a look.

hi stileto/ValC/fen & Pricillia/Violetmum,
the menu not from any pregnancy book, this is wat i normally eat even b4 i got BB.
not that i m eating healtily, the choices for lunch at my office are limited cos my office is located along Thomson Rd & i normally lazy to venture out. so juz take whatever it's sold at the canteen loh.
some more i m not a titbits person, rarely eat junks even b4 pregnant. only have Twisties & chips once awhile. some more hb prevent me from eating ice-cream, junks, cup noodles, etc..
sometimes need to beg him to let me hv a sip of the cup noodles soup leh. life is terrible only without ice cream LOLZ
for the Anmum, hb forced me to drink hahaha... anyway i like milk too lah.. hv not weighted myself since few weeks back, think now shld hv gained 3-4kg bah, but then still cant see my stomach though already 10W4D

Hello everyone,
COngratulations on your pregnancies! I hope to be able to join you all in your journey. My EDD is 3rd April 07. This is my 3rd pregnancy; I have a 21 month old (v active and talkative!) and one angel baby lost in May 06.
This pregnancy has been difficult. Because of my m/c in May, I kept thinking i was going to lose this one too. I was spotting from 7-11 weeks and had to rest in bed. Also had progesterone shots 2X a week. Now backside open flowers already... But it was all worth it. Had OSCAR done in Wed and all is ok. Baby's also growing very well. I pray that we'll all have healthy and happy pregnancies and lovely lovely babies. Sorry for the long post...
Hope to get to know you all better!
2nd trimester loh!!
Jayde

jpmonster,
so envy you.. my MS just began to make a turn for the worse... though i can still eat my meals, but the nausea will still kick in at different times of the day. and i must say you have a very healthy diet.. me eat a few fast food meals per week...
Priscilla,
when i went to visit my gynae the last time, my weight dropped and i asked her why did my weight drop while my tummy become so bloated? she says it's the air inside, and i realise it's true, no matter how much air inside my tummy to make it bloated, my weight won't increase cos it is still air afterall, keke.
Hi jade,
welcome to this thread and sorry to hear abt the previous lost and congrats to the current pregnancy! glad to hear baby is well. =)

Wow jmonster, good for you!
Envy all who can hv home-cooked food.

Hi everyone,
i just went for my chckup yest...now 8 and a half weeks. My gynae did a scan and the bb is ok. But till now i have yet to do any test, isit normal? My gynae didnt even take my weight. He just ask me to continue taking the hormone pills(as i has cramps in the 1st few weeks) and ask me to go back 3 weeks later.
Well, i also quite paranoid. Keep thinking if the bb is ok or not. So many thgs to worry abt when we r pregnant...if nex time our kids not filial they really deserve a tight slap! hahah

Hi all
im at week 10 now but MS is getting worse!
previously it's only nausea but i still have appetite for meals.. for thepast few days, even my appetite has deteriorated.. i wonder if the MS will ever stop.
jpmonster,
since you have such a balanced meal and have appetite for it, a healthy weight gain shld be fine.. =)
ice queen
yes i do agree with you that weight gain is an easier option than MS. let's lok towards that.. although i dunno when MS will end....

Ladies,
Tks for sharing your experiences abt MS. Appreciated. My MS started at week 5 and till now I still have it with me. Its so bad that I was on MC for 2 weeks. Got some spotting and keep vomiting. No energy to even go to work... Now into 10 weeks I really hope this will stop, cos I dont knw how long I can hang on to this, cos it is really very miserable having MS... gals who has MS will agree with I think...
