janken,
hahaa no worries
abt your nutrients, try to take more fruits too? fruits can give water content, bcos after vomit, we also lost water. i like apple nowadays. try to eat soupy guo tiao with pork? pork can give energy. for me i find i eat guo tiao soup with minced pork can reduce my MS a lot, and wont vomit it out, as compared to other food. hehee see what other mummies got any tips too. cracker thing also work for me.
if i cannot vomit out, i can stay in the bathroom till vomit out ley. then i feel better. if not the feeling is like a fish bone like stuck at the chest very xin gu. after vomit also drink some warm water, it helps to give back the water to our body. most impt lesson i learnt from my 1st pregnancy is DUN GET DEHYRDATED!

For me is a lot of air bloated in my stomach and if i dun lose the air utimately i will feel full and can't eat anything.
So now i have been drinking ginger tea, yakult and eating apple or drinking apple juice, cranberry juice & eating chen pi (dried orange peels) to help digestion and reduce air.
The overbloated of air cause me to vomit air and vomit food (in my mouth) so if reduce the amt of air will not be so bad.

mummies,
last time when i hospitalized at KKH for drip, a 1st time mtb opposite bed of me lost 10kg in her 1st trimester. she also has gastric pain. her case is really bad. so whenever i tot i am suffering like hell, i sometimes think of there are some mummies even worse, and they also went thru it. really must be brave. by 4th month should subside liao. Hang on!

luz - Same here..DH said, wow, can see liao, can see liao...
Yup, same thinking. Some really have it really really bad. So, our MS even though vomit here and there is nothing compare to other hor. I remembered hearing one of the moms who had to be in the hospital almost all her PG period. Ya, Ya...sometimes after vomit it out, feel so much better.
starmoon - Yup, both also under LC Cheng. His queue very long hor.
Ellysia - He!He! I guess we will find all ways to make us comfy-comfy as possible.
twinky - I have bad bad bad MS. Worst than when I was carrying my son. Just puked my lunch out...apologies TMI.
janken - I don't think we are pro or con TMC. I guess most obgyns have several hospitals which they frequent lor.

Hi Twinky,
I feel much better after burping out air. Or else i will feel like vomit (but not vomit yet) and i have to force the air out or i will feel suffocated.
The condition is much worst during the day. Usually by dinnertime will have improved. However, during last few weeks when i have severe bloatness, I can feel full for the whole day without the appetite to eat. It is v terrible. Then suddenly at a point i will feel severe hunger then i realise i am v hungry. But when i eat a little, i feel v full again.
Later i realise part of this problem is caused by the air inside my stomach. After i drank Eno and ginger tea (as recommend by Gynae and several forummers here), stomach not so bloated and got appetite to eat

wld like to share the condition "hyperemesis gravidarum" which i kenna during my number 1. hope to bring awareness so that seeking of treatment can be done timley.
What if I just can't keep anything down?
Call your provider if you haven't been able to keep anything including fluids down for 24 hours. (If you're newly pregnant and don't yet have a doctor or midwife, go to the emergency room.)
You may have a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum literally, "excessive vomiting in pregnancy." This condition can be difficult to manage, but the sooner you're diagnosed and begin treatment, the more likely you'll be able to avoid severe symptoms.
Your caregiver will probably want to give you some intravenous fluids right away, since you'll most likely be seriously dehydrated. Then she'll need to do some tests to check your electrolyte levels and make sure no underlying illness is causing your constant vomiting. Depending on your condition, you may need to be hospitalized for a few days so that you can continue to receive IV fluids and medication.
Many women feel much better after they're rehydrated and are able to control their symptoms with anti-nausea medication. In rare cases, you'll need to continue to receive intravenous therapy on and off either in the hospital or at home.
If inadequately treated, hyperemesis gravidarum can result in chronic dehydration, weight loss, malnutrition, and other complications for you and your baby.

hi twinky,
my gynae just told me "yr baby is 0.281cm" and it was also reflected on the scan that i took home.
on my first visit, they told me that my sac was 4mm.
was thinking my baby couldnt ve shrunk! so i guess at week 5 my sac was 4mm.
at week 6 the sac should be bigger but since the baby was visiable, i guess she took the size of the baby itself at 0.281cm. i hope that is normal!! coz i dunnoe much abt the size it shld be...
hi soyabean!!
thats great!! we ve the same gynae!! how big is yr little one now? and how did u get to be referred to Dr Mary Yang?? i just randomly chose a female gynae coz i wanted to deliver at gleneagles...im more familiar with the hospital thats all...no particular reason for choosing her.

dear all... u can try out this website
www.parentingweekly.com
u will first register with yr first day of last menustration cycle and then they will calculate yr EDD and u can then save it under "favourites" on yr computer.
so every now and then, i will go the website and they will ve infomation of what is the baby development this week eg at week 5 etc
u can also start yr little journal in it and its a private journal..not like a blog.
its pretty infomative. what i like its that its personalized n tracks the number of weeks n days of yr baby.
hope u like it too!

fatty1234,
thank you,
cutting down on my sprees already.
This one is an "accident"... oops....
rachel8378,
yup yup,
you nick rings a bell.
feifei,
I think 2 kids with close gap are easier to handle,
cause they'll play with themselves,
days when 1 of them ain't around,
the lonely one will ask for a lot of attention.
My #1 & #2 are 19 mths apart.

hi,
Water rententiom - reduce salt intake... i remember I had very bad rentention during my confinement initially cos of my MIL's cooking. It stopped once I asked hubby to rely the message.
Lucky for me, my gynae package never increased since 3 years ago. But I am sure Mt E hospital bills will though.

hi ladies,
congrats to all mother to be.
i'm a mother of two and have just tested positive on monday and thurs. I tested twice becos cannot believe am pregnant actually.
wanted to ask, any mummy who tested positive but dont have any symptoms at all?
Thats my case. I dont have any MS (actually i dont have for my earlier two as well), no sore breasts, appeitite is still per normal and i just felt so normal so i think something is not right.
I had a miscarriage at my 2nd pregnancy as there is no heartbeat detected till 8th week. So im worried whether it will be same thing. Or would it just be an empty sac this time round?
Trying not to think abt it till i see gynae and get final conclusion two weeks later. But i cant help feeling frustrated at times while waiting. I get irritated easily and also flare up these days.

Hi mummies out there, not sure whether is there any coffee addict drinker like me out there.
Just visited Dr Wong yesterday, my baby is 2.51mm at week 9, is that normal ? Dr never say anything.
I drink about 3 to 4 cups of coffee per day before pregnant, after I know about this pregnancy, I tried to cut down to 1 cup per day. Does caffine affect ?
Any advise ?

Hi miracle,
rest well first... Some people only have MS kick in full strength in their 7-8 weeks. Maybe you are as lucky as me in first pregnancy, no MS at all, no symptoms at all. Really nothing, except for being tired easily.
I understand how it feels to worry and yet can do nothing abt it. I lost 2 pregnancies prior to this too. Though it is easier said than done, but docs and books have mentioned in early miscarriages, there is really nothing one can do to change the situation. So try to take each day as it comes. Meanwhile, keep the spirits up!
Hi Mogudog,
I was a coffee addict too. My gynae expressed that there isnt much harm. I still drink coffee daily and sometimes up to 3 a day during my first pregnancy. Only thing is my girl seriously likes coffee now. hahaha... bitter ones also ok. IMO, do what you like to do, eat what you like to eat, MODERATION is the key word. And since you mentioned now you drink 1 cup per day, I think it is fine. I went for antenatal class for my first, even the midwife at KKH says 1 -2 cups of coffee or tea is alright. If you have to drink more due to habit, she says the trick is to reduce the intensity of coffee or tea.
