Christine, have u called your gyane's clinic to check on your situation? The nurses might be able to help.
I think weight gain is inevitable in pregnancy. Even in first trimester, dun think you shd be losing weight unless you are puking badly and cannot get anything down. However, i think the weight gain during 1st trim shd not be massive, read somewhere that it's normal to put on about 2 pounds in first trim. So far, at 7 weeks plus, i think i have gained about 1kg or less.
This MS thingy is really driving me nuts. Vomitted all the milk i drank this morning. But I think it was more triggered by the choke on the folic acid pill which i was trying to swallow. Hai...
Hi Cath, it seems quite normal to have white/pale yellow discharge during pregnancy. That's what I read in websites.

Great tt ur bb is doing fine
Seems like if cyst and fibroid is grown during pregnancy isn't a big issue, normally ppl remove upon delivery.
Yup I changed gynea, as shown on Jgal's chart. Hmm havent seen the gynea since i got my 2nd opinion. This gynea said I dun have to see him every week. Will update u when i see him the following weekend
Thanks for ur concern

Hi Steph77,
I am good and now already 7 weeks. Just need to make sure no worsening of spotting. My tcm doctor and new gynae were surprised that i conceived naturally. So am very glad and happy that baby is a miracle child.Yes, i will also deliver in TMC as well as the new gynae' office is there. Hope it is not too exp.
Can i check who is your gynae, maybe we have the same. I should be back on 14 sep for my tests.
Hi Christine, EOC is essence of chicken. Think i may give it a try though not sure if i like it.
Jgal, so happy to learn that we have a few mummies in our thirties. Dr Chan is good but too exp for me i think unless no choice then i go to him. I like your recommendation though.

Jgal: mine is the same as urs... any ideal outside folic acid comes in boxes/bottle? if its the same as pharmacy i will rather buy from there, $5 per mth supply is too ex...
Hi,
Can we take any folic acid from outside pharmacy? I was told to stop all my usual supplements, not even vit. c, because we dunno whether the manufacturer added stuff not good for expecting mothers. I used to take meiji collagen on and off but have to stop it too even though the manufacturer says it's ok for pregnant ladies. Gynae advised to stop unnatural stuff.
Sputnik,
I think guava is ok because I saw my colleague eating that during her pregnancy. Think jambu should be ok too, but better check with gynae if you're not sure. Mine says I can eat anything, including sashimi, so I already gave in to my cravings last week.
Btw, I read somewhere that we should reduce or avoid watermelon and pineapples. Not sure whether it's a myth, but I don't eat those.

Anyway, we will not be needing folic acid pill for long.. soon we will be moving to multi-vit pills which contain sufficient folic acid for our daily needs.
Tonight me going to take pic of my fish oil , multi-vit and calcium pills.. btw hor my gynea told to eat fish oil, multi-vit (morning ) and calcium pills (evening) cos' Calcium absorption will be affected by fish oil.. So have to take separately.
**folic acid is vital for the 1st tri. only**

tsukushi yah.. my gynea ask me to stop my GNC-prentatal formula also... Cos' different stage needs different vit. e.g. Vit a is dangerous during the first tri... In the 2nd tri it becomes essential... GNC formula has high vit a.
So better dont any how buy from the pharmacy/GNC etc.... Cos' salesgals are not properly trained...
folic acid is quite straight-forward cos' it exactly the same as the one i am getting.. hee hee

Kea,
I think I rather spend a bit more if gynae says not to take outside folic acid. I still remember there was a case of recall for supplements from certain australia factory, bec their pills did not meet the standards. That case affected a number of brands we see in our pharmacies. But ultimately, it all boils down to your level of comfort. I have stocked up a lot of supplements from GNC during my bdae mth, now must force my hb to finish on my behalf.
Heard from my GP that fish oil also cannot anyhow take, like those cod liver fish oil from the supermart shelves.

Jgal,
How about Nata de coco? I ate that in my meiji yoghurt last night.
I had pretty bad but tolerable cramps in the first few weeks. But after taking homones for some time, the cramps seem to have vanished. Don't know whether it's bec uterus have already adjusted.
Btw, I have on-off spottings. Doc says it's due to weak placenta or else there's something abnorm with the bb. Need a lot of rest and less movements.

tsukushi : i guess.. if you have no problem.. then you can continue on the diet lor ... Cos' diff. body can take diff. things lor
e.g. i have asthma and CANNOT take yoghurt/kiwi in the evening.
If you have spotting, just check on your diet.. and try to avoid things you think shld be avoided lor I avoid prawns, crab etc. It really doesnt mean we need to "follow" when someone say okay or not okay. Up to you meh. Yeah.. jamie, you are right.. no need to fight.. hee hee .. mothers just have to make their own decisions lor. No right and wrong answers...
Aniway, folic acid very cheap. can buy from outside or from doc, the different is only a couple of dollars... I suggest to cheesy to buy outside is because she will not be seeing the doc these few days meh So she can grab folic from the pharmacy instead of "depriving" the bb of the nutrient.

kea ... you need to see your condition lor.. i heard that some mother lose hair , drop teeth during preggy. If you dun have signs that you are under-nourished, then your diet is good enuff lor..
If some of us, dun have very healthy diet habits , supplement is the easier way out lor
Cos' i read frm news the other day, if we are not properly nourish , bb will grow up hungry all the time.. and turn out to be obsessed.
Calcium pill is chewed .. not popped.. so i guess that one is easy lor
