Hi wawapiggyling/DW/Saffy,
Ya, my MS and vomit seems to worsen since week 8 too....Its like instead of getting better, it has become worse. I am feeling so down. Really wonder when I will stop vomiting. If week 14 still having MS, that means I still have to wait for another 1 mth or more before I see some lights.
Does it really helps to drink chicken essence cos I am feeling extremely tired too since I knew I was preggie. Even if I sleep more than 12hrs per day on weekend, I will still feel very tired. If chicken essence helps, I think I will start drinking.

oh ice queen...
bear with it, i can understand how u feel..i have flew my friends aeroplanes so many times and turned down so many appts cos i wasn't feeling well... weekends are best to remain at home with the availiability of toilets and dustbins at close proximity...
my gynae say ok to chicken essence but the smell may be a bit strong for some of us, esp those still having quite bad MS..... i personally tried a few times but gave up cos drink already also go to waste..... let's hope it will be better soon..

ixora,

Every time I whine to my gynae, she tries to reassure me that bad MS means the baby is very healthy!
She gave me some medication called Metoclopramide, and I find that it helps a LOT! If you ladies are comfortable with taking drugs (It is one of the "safe" medicine to take during pregnancy) maybe can ask your gynae to prescribe for you? At least you will be able to eat something, so at least you don't suffer from empty stomach (which makes things even worse! vicious cycle).

hi all
for those who feel naseous, how abt trying honey with lemon juice? my chinese sinseh told me to make warm honey drink and just add abit of lemon juice. just get a fresh lemon and cut it into 2 and squeeze the lemon juice out. i just use abit then store the rest in a cup and keep it in the fridge. don't use too much lemon juice coz' it may be too acidic. i did that whenever i feel naseous and it helps but i had a tendency to add more lemon juice than i should coz' i like it sour! = o P but have stopped now and switch to drinking ribena. coz' drinking plain water also makes me naseous so i've switched to making my own ribena drink. but i bought ribena light so that it won't be too sweet.
hope the above suggestions will help!

fen, i think the rate is quite normal lah... as long as baby is healthy, it will be money well spent. my next visit, i'll be doing the triple blood test too but if i remember correctly, i'll be paying close to $300 for the test @ RH.
seems like quite a few of optional tests to do and i'm thinking of skipping some but hubby wants to go ahead with the tests so that we set our hearts at ease. so let's see how it goes. my next appt with OB is on 26th Oct. I hate needles and hate to draw blood (dun think anyone will enjoy that experience) so i'm really quite frightened.

Hahahah....'eca'....
Not only the drive, but if I'm not feeling slightly nauseous, then it's because I'm too tired during bedtime. But for some reason if I wake up in the middle of the night, I will feel quite horny
Hubby just think it's a dream.
I think once you can start taking the prenatal pills, it's ok to not take extra folic acid since the pills already have a lot of that. Any extra will just come out in your pee!
Anyone here already know the sex of their baby? I'll be going for my 16th week scan in two weeks time... hope baby is co-operative.

i think my NT results quite good leh... but OB suggested to do triple blood test so do lor. NT more accurate meh? just by looking at the thickness can be more accurate than blood test? doesn't sound convincing..
i also just went to cut hair y'day. my hair is naturally thick so if i dun go for my regular trims, will look like crazy woman like JL mentioned.
yes, we definitely have to save money now lor. i feel heart pain some times when i buy things for myself.
so dun need the folic acid anymore? i was prescribed folic acid @ my last visit with the OB (12 weeks) so must eat or dun eat?

Hi Saffy
Am in 13+ weeks now... during the NT scan (part of Oscar test) we were able to see the bb's birdie liao. In fact, gynae was already able to see it with normal ultrascan at Week 12 (we made a friendly bet last week - I said 'Girl' and he felt otherwise). So today he proved me right.

Stileto,
Try drinking warm milk before sleeping. Might help u sleep beta. Anyway, my gynae always reminds me to sleep early cos during my scans, he'll complian abt insufficient water in the sac. Bb needs this water in our womb to move abt else the movement will be restricted. And thus, difficult turning to the engaged position.
Fen,
Don't be so pang-tang else u'll restrict urself to tones of things. Bu zhi zhe wu chui
Re : MS
For those experiencing bad ms, don't despair. U'll get over it soon. By 2nd trimester, u'll be able to kill 2 3 tigers

hi mum wannabe and JL,
I think it is rather easy to tell at early stage if you are carrying a boy. Their little birdie are pretty obvious
JL, I agree with you girls name are easier. I have thought of a girl name when I was carrying my first born but didnt get to use it since he turns out to be a boy.
Hubby and I wished for our first born to be a girl because they tends to be more caring towards siblings. Well no chance already, but still hope this one turn out to a girl.

Wow, 12 weeks in really early! Your baby must be 'really' co-operative
I secretly wish for a girl just so I can dress her up in pretty clothes... but I find that first-born girls tend to be bullies and very domineering towards their younger siblings?
JL : I am quite surprised that at this day and age there are people around who zhong4 nan2 qing1 nu3, and prefer boys just so they can carry the family name!

Hi Mummies to be
My BB expected due date is around third week of April 2007. Just wondering as a lot of people advise not to colour your hair or rebond during pregnancy. What about perming the hair? My hair getting abit out of shape from the last wear-off perm so really hope to go for a perm.
Am in my 12th week already but still got the nausea feeling. Luckily never really vomit. Hopefully, this nausea feeling will go off soon. Have been having poor appetite and my weight is going down. Hiazzz only 41.6kg now.
Gynae say will do the blood test for me next month...there goes another $300plus...being pregnant is certainly an expensive process.

hi ixora15, ice queen
i brought 1 small bottle of ribena light to the office. i poured the ribena from the big bottle into a mineral bottle n brought it to the office. so everytime i want to drink it, i will just pour some into a cup n add hot water.
i couldn't stand the taste of water and only drank 2 cups a day n was pretty heaty then. gynae also told me to drink more water. so ribena light is the best solution. try not to get too dehydrated.

hi JL/Michelle Chua,
my colleague (who's a mother of 4) told me that we still can take folic acid till 20th week, thereafter we will stop taking. but better confirm with gynae.
hi SpringDance,
talking abt hair, think we hv the same problem though mine is not perm hair.. my hair started to curl and colour gone. tot cant really do rebonding & colouring. but my hairstylist said i can do colour but only highlight and it must be started 1 inch away from the roots. Rebonding is ok & also must start 1inch away from roots but she said the best thing is dun do... but for safety's sake, i cut my long hair....

hi all mummies
in case anyone is keen - i did my scan at TMC y'day and i signed up for the 1st born incentive prog. before that so that i can get discount for the scan. think it's 5%. it also offers discount for professional medical services (provided your gynae is on the panel that's listed), TMC hospital charges eg. $80 off hospital bill for 2-bedder, and member rates for seminars etc. there's also discount for health screening and duno what else.
but u've to pay $128 for memebership. there's discount if u use citibank card, according to my colleague. my colleague is the one who told me it's worth it if u're using TMC services.

hi blueroti,
i experienced that during my HK trip end of Aug. went to see doc immediately, she is it's not spotting. & she just said me not to walk ard, dun carry heavy things (this is the time u can order ur hubby doing all the chores, just like me.. hahaha), lie down & rest more. According to the doctor, it's infection, so later she gave me antibiotics & the discharge was gone.
