hey all,
need to ask if this is normal...
I was smoking before i found out that i am pregnant. Now of course i quit liao, but the thing is that i have been having flu and coughing out phlegm during the time i am pregnant.
Is it because I quit smoking or becasue i am now pregnant I am more prone to such symptoms?? And i have also been having stuffy nose... anybody having it?

such a bad experience which you have there. Hopefully for my 2nd one i wont experience such a problem but hard to say hor.
When i just deliver in Mt A, the missy ask my try go toilet though my blood was everywhere but she clean up and wash my legs for me and clear my blood even at my V area also. And then slowly hold me when i walk back to my bed. Quite a good experience. Then when i was going home, they are all quite friendly. one of the missy help us carry baby while my HB carry the tub then hold me till we reach downstairs, flag a cab for us and ask me to becareful etc.. Quite a good experience lor.. Maybe cause i haven met the worse *touch wood*
But one good thing is that in KKH, they are well equiped so if there are any complications, we dun have to wait and they can attend to it immediately.

<font color="0000ff">cheryl</font>

<font color="0000ff">melissa</font>

Isabel,
Congrats for taking the right decision to quit smoking. I've never smoked my whole life but i'm guessing yours is probably pregnancy symptom + withdrawal symptom. I don't think there's a cure, just let nature take its course and the body will regulate itself in time.

I chanced upon this thread.
1 mummy has an elder son liao , so the doc din ask her to go the NT & Oscar test for her 2nd one.
End up 2nd one turns out ds, and she was less than 30 when she conceive
so i think it is crucial to go for the test, but again, a pal's colleague went for all the test, everything is fine, but also end up ds
guess it is really fate

regarding the question which babypink ask. I will abort. Although i knw that cruel but i would not want my child to be born in this world and suffer the fate of being despise. It will hurt me more and make my kid suffer.
My HB ask me to go ahead with the oscar test though my doc say there is no need to.
babedude
ya i agree it's fate as well..
Cheryl
relax see hw ur blood test turns out to be. We will be waiting for your good news =)
Isabel
i quitted smoking when i had my 1st one also and i quitted very smoothly. Gz on quitting! I am a non-smoker now!!!
I had a friend whom smoke thruout the pregnancy. she tried quitting but failed. her baby came out during 9 mths and weigh only 2.2kg.. should be glad that we quitted smoking early!

is a hard decision to make...
i guess for pple who is not in the kind of situation...logically will abort....but for gals who is having the situation is betting on the chance....and usu not as logical....but i guess the hubby support and stand shpuld be firm and supportive....console as they could while logically asking the wife to abort....if the hubby comes down hard....abort!...and this will make the matter worst for the wife...i felt....
Isabel
hoped u would be like adeline.....we shall give u moral support.....not easy to quit...mother's instinct in u will give u the extra strength.....
bbpink
hoped u are fated with ur crackers....
cheryl

and who knws......
u may be pleasantly surprised...
knw is better then dunno....
bbpink says if no matter what wan to keep...i feel to knw is better....y would i say tat?....at least u knw n u decided to keep, by time bb is born, u are super well prepared with every info for the special needs child...and more able to take care of the bb well.......also emotionally u have already had the 10 mths to prepared urself readily for the child....by then u would already had accepted the fact....and all to come would not be too heavy since emotionally u are sorted.....tts my feel.....of cos there are pple who coped better by not knwing....so that the preg will be worry free....to knw or not to knw....also is a big decision...got to weight properly....
fr the day we have the foetus...to the kid...to when they grow up....is already a feat....no easy...

i was thinking if we go for this oscar test and then wont we be torturing ourselves wif the results... And if really the results are not favourable, wat would we should do? Not keep the bb? And if the test is negative results, the time till our EDD wont we be torturing ourselves with negative thoughts.

i sunddenly realise y i keep dreaming of the whitish crackers !
when i see the word saltine, my brain think of salt, link the crackers to having the same texture as salt, whitish transparent
<font color="0000ff">mummy_norman08</font>
hehe, no fate with the saltine crackers
bot 2 packets of CARR's Table Water bite instead, 1 with cracked pepper..most attractive packaging among all biscuits available in teh supermarket to me
i oso bot 2 vita 3 in 1 cereals..berries favour & chocolate favour to put in office during hungry moments..now if hungry, confirm nausea also
hehe, heard of the crab myth and pals who were with me tat day keeps reminding me not to eat crab, but greediness took over & i consume my chilli crabs some weeks back
it is true tat it is good to do the test, so u r mentally prepared
but i guess if one din do the test, must prepare for the worst, so at least is mentally prepared
<font color="0000ff">Isabel</font>
u have my moral support, jia you
it is never late to quit
<font color="0000ff">adeline</font>
there is no right & wrong in the decision i personally feel
i think every mother know best whether they can cope with one, and every family's situation differ too
personally, my decision is the same as urs
<font color="0000ff">Lynn</font>
lucky gal, maybe ur MS disappear after 11th week

Isabel, dun recommend the pouch for infants.. coz from the pic, i fear that the pouch will curl the baby's leg and not ideal for development since the baby's joints etc are so delicate.. i would go for the kind without the pouch to allow more free space for their legs to move ard..

baby pouch
actually initially i am also worried that baby might be bow legged when sitting in those pouches (i have 1 myself) but it prove to be wrong. hehee and baby tend to sleep better in those pouch! cause it is like sarong. When she is young i only let her sleep in it and not sit.
Lynn
congratz! Hopefully ur Ms is gone and u can eat more!!
bbpink
ya i every mom knows what is best. For those that chose to give birth though knowing their baby has DS i really think that they are very brave. I read that one mommy, though her baby has ds, instead of deciding if she wanna abort the baby, she went to read up more details on special care babies. Thats how brave some of them are. They have the courage but not me i guess.
Gratz babymouse!

For the carrying of baby hmm..
it's good for preggy ladies to carry other baby on 1st month and 1st month ONLY! then the baby will behave guai guai. I carried my cousin's baby when i was with my 1st girl.
But it depends on how the baby's mommy see it. I also not sure myself.. hehehe..

Hi Babypink,
The saltine cracker is smaller and much crispier than Jacob crackers. It's a little bit salty and that's why I find it tasty. Hehe! I'm sorry that u are not able to find it in Spore anymore. I only remembered buying from Liberty supermkt when I was in my uni days. If nt, u can subst with Jacob crackers. It shld taste pretty nice as well.
Hi Mummnyboy,
It does help me to ease my nausea. If not, I will hv a sour plum to ease my nausea as well. But it seems that it's no longer available in Spore anymore.
Can I know if it's alright to apply mask when I'm pregnant? I told my mum that I applied mask and she forbided me to do so. She said same logic as painting of house.
