Hi mogudog,
Maybe you can try to eat unsalted crackers - those Jacob's crackers type - throughout the day in between meals? I find that I get morning sickness when my stomach is empty (before I get hungry). I'm quite certain I'm not "suffering" as much as you yet, but this method has worked for me and I've been able to function quite normally even at work.

Thanks for sharing, babycupid! Yes, I agree with you. But usually I dun have craving for things like cold drinks, watermelon and pineapple... so I'm not presently taking them.
Just to share also.. before I confirmed the pregnancy, when it was 3 weeks after LMP, I ate some watermelon and coconut. I felt cramping. but I thought it was the usual pre menstrual cramps. once I stopped eating and resting half hour, the cramping went away. It was only subsequently that I realised I was pregnant. I think if we eat watermelon and other cooling things, even in moderation, we shld listen to our bodies. If we start experiencing cramps, it's better to stop taking for the moment cos we can't differentiate btween normal expansion cramps and miscarriage cramps.

just couldn't believe my ears when my wife told me it's confirm..the feelin was mixed..but now that it's over that feel, i'm so excited and happy.
2nd trimster sounds good..i'm hoping there will be huge sales all round by then..hehe..cos my research confirm that baby stuff are not cheap..

Hi feifei, my MIL said I can start taking bird's nest during 2nd trimester. My SIL took bird's nest during 2nd trimester.
But I'm not sure about the safety of bird's nest cos I know some places bleach bird's nest... so it may not be that safe for consumption. Also if bird's nest is not properly cleaned, I'm not sure if it will lead to problems like allergies and asthma in the long run for the baby. My SIL took bird's nest when she was 4 months. Quite regularly. Her son has sensitive airways. Not s ure if it is a coincidence though.

newdaddy,
you very kiasu leh.... btw i think the Graco travel system is not very good. i bought one for my #1 then i realise tat the pram itself is not able to recline fully.. so i was force to buy maclaren xt.. which is a much better choice.. especially when i have a big baby. my son could not take the car seat from Graco since 3rd month..

Hi newdaddy,
I tink u better buy yr bb stuff later when at 2nd trimester, at least when u know whether yr bb is boy or gal then u can plan for the colours.
cactus and feifei,
For the birdnest, if u want to take, buy from reputation sources like Yu ren sheng and Hock Hua & good quality ones which are cleaned and not fake. Dun get cheap ones from unknown sources which may not be cleaned properly and worst may contain chemicals that is harmful.

For tian qi porridge, my mum said there is this pang dang that it is not good for yr bb cos it make him overactive (same analogy of crab).
But last time when i am born, i have leg problem (my legs not straight) and my mum let me eat frog porridge then later legs straighten liao.. so dunno got any use.

Hi rena, thanks for your advice. I will take bird's nest sparingly. My grandma used to make bird's nest for me before the customary wedding... I told her to stop making cos not easy to clean.. she is already 76 years old. As for my MIL, I can't stop her from cooking cos when I told her no need to buy, she said must buy..think she thinks I'm being polite... sigh. But I already told my mom I won't be taking bird's nest... I'm tryign to take as little of it as possible cos even though we buy from reputable places, we cannot be sure that the source is good and safe..
I conceived soon after our customary wedding..during our honeymoon. It so happened that my fertile period covered the wedding night and the honeymoon which immediately followed. So my MIL told me it is called "ru men xi". I think she will be delighted if it is a boy cos it's going to be her first "inside" grandchild. As for my parents, I'm the only child.. so my dad will be happy for a grandson. cos I think he missed out playing with a son.
I also think it's nice to have an older brother and younger sister... but I wouldn't like to have 2 sons. I would prefer to have 2 daughters. Then again, leave all this to God lah. Children healthy can already.

hahhaa.. for me.. my side i am the youngest.. i have 2 bros 1 sis.. 1 bro with 3 kids.. 2 dotters 1 son.. my sis with 2 sons.. so no preference from my mum n dad..
for my hubby side.. this is the 1st grandchild.. cos my hubby is the eldest and 2 twins younger bro are still young.. poly now.. so i dunno if they will prefer boy.. anyway.. HEALthy is most impt la!!

just to share my sister has a 2yr old boy and just had a baby gal, she is now worried that next time both of them will go university together! that will mean great financial burden sigh so do take note of this in ur family planning 
also my cousin told me it is a gd thing my EDD is in June, next time no need spend money celebrating birthdays in nursery and kindergarten since school holidays! haha i think once you are a mother u will really think far far!
