Linda,
I just use my hand to hide my forehead area and my long hair will cover up the sides, so pretend i am using my hand to hold my hair but actually it covers the front side. then i look down on my documents while my hand support my head and i doze lor.. boss got walk in sometimes, i will wake when there is noise. Its a short doze maybe not full 20mins but on and off do help to gain energy for the rest of the day.

Hi gals,
Like to know how many weeks can the doc scan the waterbag? I went for check up yesterday but he say cannot see waterbag mean early pregnancy.
If u didn't inform ur boss abt your pregnancy, how do you take MC if ur co have co. doctor? Aren't we suppose to see the gynae when we fall sick?

ellysia - they will draw 3 tubes of blood. 2 for Dr Wong and 1 for the oscar.
connie - calculation starts from the first day of your last period.

Hi Connie,
My doctor saw the sac a 4 weeks 6 days. Same basis of calculating the days and weeks.
Maybe you want to ask your doctor again?
If your doctor is confident it is not ectopic pregnancy, he will prob ask you to return for a scan in a few weeks time. If he thinks there may be a chance it may be ectopic, he will take blood from you. That's what my doctor told me. Cos I was referred to her for suspected ectopic. She told me if she didn't see a sac, she would most prob take blood. But she saw a sac, so didn't need to take blood.

Hi Connie,
You asked -
"If u didn't inform ur boss abt your pregnancy, how do you take MC if ur co have co. doctor? Aren't we suppose to see the gynae when we fall sick?"
I've not informed my boss about my pregnancy yet. I don't take MC when I'm ill. So far, I've only had a mild case of flu and diarhoea. For the flu I just kept drinking water and fruit juices. Same for diarhoea. To stay hydrated. To curb the nausea, I just take some sour plums. I bear with the bloatednes and the cramping. That's all.
If you need to see a doctor, you can go to a doctor who is not a company doctor. Just tell this doctor you are pregnant and you will be given medicine which is safe for you and bb. You will also be given MC.
You also asked about exercise.
I make an effort to walk about more. not brisk walking or anything, but I offer to do marketing at supermarket, and carry heavy bags. But if my tummy starts to cramp up, I just take a rest, then continue when the cramps go away.
I need to walk about more cos my job is desk bound and I drink alot of juices when I'm feeling ill. juices are very high in sugar. I can drink up to 4 litres of juice per day if I'm having fever or bad flu. Even if I stop eating food, I still put on weight from the juice. That is pre-pregnancy lah.

Cactus,
I'm getting more worry as it don't seem to sound right lei. Is sac the same as waterbag? The previous doc told me cannot scan anything. Now Dr Adrain say cannot see waterbag. Are they referring to the same thing?
He sound so normal as there is nonthing serious about me. But all of you can scan something already.

cactus, yes, it's not gd to walk too much or carry heavy stuff at first trimester, like me i have brown discharge (therefore now i am on Duphaston and also got a jab gg back for 2nd jab this sat) so now i dun walk so fast, and i keep telling myself not to chase after bus , rather be late than strain ourselves, at our stage we must rest more
iamsnow, like u i also drink water until v sian, switch to ribena happy for a few days then feel gross again. but i tried mixing Sprite with ribena taste quite gd, sprite no caffeine some more, we can also drink those effervascent vit c in our water to make it more bearable

hi iamsnow, shufen:
Wow...I didn't know we cannot walk around so much or carry heavy things... sigh.. seems like I'm destined to put on quite a bit of weight now....
Thanks for the advice ladies. I will bear that in mind and will stop all that walking and carrying from now on.
I can drink plain water.. I'm not adverse to it (yet) but I had some diarhoea and flu earlier.. still sneezing on and off now, so need to drink liquids which can stay in my body.. like sugar or salt solution type of thing. I'm quite used to drinking juice since young. usually it is fresh carrot and/or orange juice, or I'd buy fruit tree, peel fresh or sunkist juices without added sugar. If I substitute juices for normal meals, I'd recover from flu within 2 days. Of course, I will still have to eat some fish and meat and green vegs together with the juices. I just cut down the rice.. at most just eat a baked potato without sour cream..

hi iamsnow,
I think it's normal for us to feel warmer than usual when we are pregnant. it's to do with the overactive blood circulation system in our bodies. that is good cos it stops us from feeling dizzy and faint. we just need to keep on drinking water. I've been staying clear from heaty and cooling foods....

morning belsi,
mine will be 23rd nov @ 2.30pm, had been told to go RH on 21st nov though to take a blood sample. Would u have any idea what tat is for? the nurse who told me at my last appt on 20th Oct didn't explain. i also blur cos didnt ask further...
Hi connie,
what type of scan did you do? normal tummy ultrascan or transvaginal scan? In the early stages of pregnancy, transvaginal scan is more sensitive than the tummy ultrascan.
I'm not sure if sac is the same as waterbag.... but in the very early stages, everyone refers to it as "the sac". Then, the yolk, embryo, fetus,waterbag. But in thevery early stages, it's just known as the sac. At least at 4 weeks 6 days, it's the "sac"....

I'm so envious of you ladies who have seen ur bb at 8 weeks!
My next scan is also at 8 weeks but 2 weeks away....I'm quite eager to see if I'm as lucky as you to see bb's head too!! Heartbeat too!
My MIL told me that miscarriages are most likely to occur between 6 to 8 weeks... so it's really good that some of you have already reached that critical period. My SIL miscarried at 8weeks...

shufen,
i went to see her cos she is my aunt's & friend's gyane. for my c-section, the stitches is gd, wat i see is only a fine line and i actually dun feel any pain after delivery tat i dun even hav to take painkillers. And she changed my dressing herself. although she's old but still veri steady. i afriad that she may retire soon (tink she's in her 60s liao), so must quickly plan for my 2nd and 3rd child. hehe

Hi iamsnow,
I didn't know you had fever last week. Maybe you should take your temp regularly. If it is above 37.0, you may want to take panadol. Panadol is safe for us and bb. It is not good for you if you truly have a fever and you leave it as it is. But ifyou just feel warm, but no fever, then I believe it's normal.
