Jenny: dunnoe whether issit true anot.. my mum & older folks have advised hb & me against BD during 1st trimester - but gynae say its perfectly fine so we continued BD but not as often as before though.. i personally feel that if we are up to it, y not? but remember to excercise precaution..
er...i read somewhere that when you have sex with your husband, be careful that no air goes inside your v, or else it will be dangerous for your baby...
my gynae told us to abstain from intercourse for the first trimester...maybe because i had spotting during my 5th to 7th week...my spotting has since stopped, but during my 2nd visit, forgot to ask him whether can resume intercourse or not
heh heh

Today is my 11 weeks and 1 day...
looking forward to end my 1st trim..
My NT scan is schedule to be on the 28th Sept!!!
Hopefully all my bad experience in this trimester will ends when it comes to 2nd trimester...
But I read alot of books and internet saying that 1st trimester ends on 12 weeks. My gynae also says that...
**puzzled**

i read a article, although 1 cup of coffee dun harm the bb, it is wiser to avoid them.
hig caffeine consumption linked to high risk of MC. So i am scared.
No wonder I have been vomiting, i already have 3 glass of milk..

Food and Drinks to Avoid During Pregnancy
As mentioned earlier, avoid alcohol. No level of alcohol consumption is considered safe during pregnancy. Also, check with your doctor before you take any vitamins or herbal products. Some of these can be harmful to the developing fetus.
And although many doctors feel that one or two 6- to 8-ounce cups per day of coffee, tea, or soda with caffeine won't harm your baby, it's probably wise to avoid caffeine altogether if you can. High caffeine consumption has been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage, so limit your intake or switch to decaffeinated products.

Help During Pregnancy...
Increases overall strength, flexibility & well-being X When you practice yoga, you are not only stretching your muscles, you are stretching the tissues that encase your muscles, stimulating your organ systems, promoting the circulation of blood and oxygen, breathing more intentionally, and focusing your attention inward through imagery and meditation. The combined effect is intended to be one that promotes a heightened state of physical and emotional well-being.
Reduces low back pain & sciatica X As you become acutely aware of proper body alignment, you can carry yourself and your belly in an integrated manner. This can help to reduce the degree of pelvic tilt associated with pregnancy and significantly reduce the lower back pain which it can cause. Additionally, there are specific yoga poses which stretch the muscles and tissues associated with the lower back, hips, and hamstrings. Your instructor should make these poses a part of each class.
Reduces aches & fatigue in the thoracic & cervical regions of the spine X During pregnancy, it can be difficult to find a space for yourself when trying to sleep. As a result, spinal alignment can become compromised. Certain yoga poses create more fluidity in the spine by stretching the Para spinal muscles.
Reduces swelling & inflammation around your joints X A regular and consistent asana practice improves and promotes the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout your body. This, in turn, can reduce swelling and inflammation around ankles and wrists.
Aids in digestion X As baby grows, your intestinal organs get pushed around, which may affect your regularity and cause indigestion. Safe and gentle rotations and forward folds can help to promote regularity and aid in overall digestive flow.
Helps prepare you physically for giving birth X A regular practice of squatting asana helps to tone muscles of your pelvic floor and helps you gain strength to remain comfortable in a squatting position. This is an integral part of any yoga program as it helps to familiarize you with these very useful muscles. Even if you choose not to squat during labor, you will want to be able to use these muscles efficiently and effectively when nature calls upon you to push your baby into the world.
Improves emotional well-being X Participating in a group prenatal class provides a community of support from new friends who understand what you are experiencing. Some programs may even include discussions about pregnancy-related topics such as doulas, nursing, and birth plans.
Help During Labor...
Regardless of whether you are looking forward to a drug assisted birth or planning for a natural delivery, regular participation in a prenatal yoga program can reduce labor-associated anxiety by helping you tap into your own labor tools.
Soothe & empower yourself by finding your own inner rhythm X You can learn to breathe in a way that is relaxing and natural, rather than contrived or awkward. When you consistently practice moving your body in a rhythmic fashion in unison with your breath, you carry with you a powerful relaxation and pain management tool.
Facilitate the labor process X Through yoga, you can learn how to identify when you are holding to tension in your body. A body that is tense is not going to facilitate the birth process as easily as one that is relaxed. Moreover, when the body is tense, you may experience tension in thought and a withholding of breath.
Improve your physical comfort X If you are hoping for a natural birth, it can be helpful to have an idea of how you can position your body to help you during contractions and during relaxation. Many yoga poses can translate wonderfully into comfortable laboring positions.
Learn to use the tools of meditation & visual imagery X When it comes time to ride through the most powerful of contractions, visual imagery combined with breath work can be one of the most useful labor tools.
Become familiar with the concept of vocalization X Labor is no time to be shy. It is the rare woman who births naturally and does not make a lot of noise in the process. If your yoga class includes chanting, you have an opportunity to become comfortable with the inherent power of vocalization. After all, Om is the birth sound!
Use the muscles of your pelvic floor effectively X The weeks of squatting were not done in vain! Squatting combined with a kegel-like movement during pregnancy really can help your labor in two ways. If you receive an epidural, you may lose sensation in your pelvic floor which can make pushing your baby out a bit of a guessing game. If you are used to working with these muscles, you will find it easier to use them even if you cannot feel them. Alternatively, if you are opting for a natural birth, you will want these muscles to work quickly and effectively when it comes time to push.

Jenny: for my fil he has minor thalassemia before i preggie i know liao. i brought his up during my 1st visit to gynae, advice my DH to test. coz chances for my DH to have is higher, gynae did bloodtest and found +ve for DH. so i need to do also but found luckily im not a carrier as my family got no history of thalassemia. either party need to do, if one party is carrier then the other one need to test also. like my case if DH found -ve then i no need do liao. y dont u ask ur DH family? tat time i very worried, my mum said our family dont have then sure i not carrier. chinese name call "di zhong hai peng xue zheng' does it ring a bell to u?
