crayonshinchan - i think an indication on where the baby is (and which part will grow for the next 8 months) is to stand sideways by the mirror, and suck ur tummy in? The portion that doesn't contract would be where the womb is?
(Cannot pretend to have a flat stomach anymore!)
Storeberry,
ya if u have spotting u dun do any hse work even those light ones. Need to rest more.
dmbb,
currently i dun have MS and i am worried cos dunno if bb is ok. On the other hand i relive that i dun have MS. Cos my 1st one my MS started when i am 4wks and vomit till i nearly admin to hospitial.. My highest record is vomite 12x per day.

dmbb,
yeah same! my sentiments. the only reason why i look forward to having ms is so that i know bb is grwoing well. i have phobia of losing bb again. yesterday i had all three meals without puking which is a good thing. i know im being paranoid but cant help it leh.
jappooh,
yeah i suppose its good and bad without ms. i think for now i will gladly have ms to alienate my fears

HI Jappooh
Haha. I still dun haf MS wor. Even at 7th week.
I asked gynea 2 days ago and he said some pple has strong MS due to the hormonal changes.
Some body react adversely to such hormonal changes wich result in MS effect. Some however don’t.
I agree tat w/o MS like majiam dunno baby doing ok or not, and I even ask gynea I dunno baby still inside or not cos no symptom
Den he did a scan and saw heartbeat and even let us listen to it! It is like a machine gun lo
He said baby heartbeat is twice the rate of the mama heartrate
So fret not, for MTB wif not much MS symptom
Bt haf to wait until 12 weeks later to be 'safe' from no MS at all.. cos after 3 mths, usually dun haf means dun haf liao

Goldfish (goldfish1395) - I am also at 7th week (from last menses) now, and have not had any MS at all...like you, am also wondering if my baby is developing well! Am glad that there are other mommies who are as paranoid as me..hehe...My 1st gyne visit is only after CNY, so i guess i will have to wait till then to be reassured that everything is well (Fingers crossed).
I suppose, like your gyne mentioned, different people react differently to increasing hCG levels. For instance, my friend and i were both took the same birth control pill, but for her case, she had nausea from taking it, but i had no reaction.

Flabby tummy etc
After birth, massage helps with water retention and watermelon look (first time mums, your belly won't go down once the baby is out so don't panic if you still see the belly there after birth!), but can't help with the loose skin/flab...for stretch marks, I found strivectin very good, but can only use after u stop breastfeeding. BF is also very good for losing the excess weight.
Warning: need to reduce food intake once you stop nursing...I lost all preg weight, but put on again after I stopped bf and now have 6 extra kgs at the start of this pregnancy!!!
This pregnancy:
I have only seen pregnancy sac...have not been able to see baby yet (at 6 weeks)...anyone else the same? I'm worried cos this is new to me, even being already a mom - cos last time I only found out at 10 weeks - by then could see baby and hear heart beat already!!! This time...blur!

Hi Goldfish,
Thanks, I have been restricting myself not to eat n drink cold or "liang" stuff liao, tmrw will be on leave till tues, hopefully my gal can co-operate n let me rest well...
It's normal to take calcium pills so early cos u will require to take them until u give birth. Our baby as they grow, will absorb our calcium inside our body, so it's always good to start drinking milk or if u hate the taste, add some "annmum" into yr milo.

Hi Ava,
i am the same as you on the extra weight... When bf it helps me to lose my excess weight..Now i have the extra kgs stuck with me also..
I just by the time bb is due my weight will be scary..
For me during 1st preg i cant see anything till i am ard 6wks+ to 7wks. B4 that i go too early 5wk+ cant see anything..
therefore for this preg i plan to see gynae when i am abt 7wks.

Creams
Jappooh is right. As long as your cream is normal cream, i mean not like strivectin where is says cannot use during preg and bf. You can use the oils and creams right from start. I'm starting already s my skin is v dry, which is why had very bad stretch marks last time.
Japooh
Last time round, i was 74kg by EDD!!! and I'm only 1.6m tall....scary is an understatement

hi MTBs!
I'm now 8 Weeks 2 days preggies and my nausea disppeared unless triggered by smell that turns me off, such as raw pork smell, deep fried fish. Was paranoid in the beginning but then remembered I prayed for it to go away! lolz
So now I'm enjoying my pregnancy. =)

hi mommies,

xuanting (xuanting) : did you have a hearty meal? or ate too fast? I had that when I ate too fast as I was very hungry. I also get that when I ate too much. So I take small meals every 2 hours instead of 1 heavy meal. The problem didnt come back to me since.

Umm.. Is drinking milo ok? I heard from my gynae that cannot take too much milo cos it contains caffeine too. I suffer badly from MS and it sorta calms down when I drink milo but when I heard my gynae say that, I stop immediately.
Do any of you get red spots like pimples on your body? I don't like pimples or outbreak on my face *touch wood* like some of you do, but I discover recently that I have many pimples around my chest area.
Wonder if that's normal?

Hi all, just found out that I'm 7 weeks pregnant with EDD on 18 Sep. The funny thing is, I just delivered last May and my bb girl is now only 8 months old *Faintz*
Goldfish (goldfish1395) - so far, my body has not gone havoc (yet), but yah...i am more concerned about the post-baby issues. Like if the baby keeps crying (some of my collegues have babies like that, & makes it very taxing on their relationship), if I need to get a maid (and lose our privacy), if my hubby will be as helpful as he promises to be, how our relationship would change, if we can still travel as much as we like to, etc...
Of cos hubby says i worry too much & everything will work out fine....
Others who are already mommies, how did you cope? Especially in finding alone time with your hubby?

Bigtoes, you can't expect things to be the same once the baby is here but you will experience unconditional love for your little one that makes everything (I will not use the sacrifices cos they are not) worth it. It's really a great feeling.
I'm a new mother so I know

Hi Bigtoes

And my bb was very fussy between 2 and 4 months - cry non-stop for 30 mins or more before bed time every night - not out of hunger or wet nappy. It's a phase that they will grow out of.
Babies are easier to manage from 4 months onwards, once they can sleep through the night. From then on, things will be a lot easier.
Things are only hectic for the first few months with the 1.5 or 2 hour feeds.
Being a first time mother, the first few months you will need to establish a schedule and arrangement that work best for you and hubby.
Don't worry too much. Just enjoy your pregnancy.
If talk about stress, I should be most stressed... cos I may need to hire a second maid for this new born cos I don't think my maid can handle a 1 year old and a new born

Hi Bigtoes,
U stay at PG right? Me too.. not too sure if you remember, but you came to my place before after most of the people moved in. Anyway, this is my second pregnancy, and I can tell you that if you are going to be first time mom, please go lomantic lomantic with your hubby and travel as much as you can. Don't mean to scare you, but personal and couple time will be compromised somewhat when you have a child. But then again, you have a little bundle of joy you both love together. The relationship will definitely be tested, but it will work out in the end when the both of you tried getting some couple time and when the child is older and less demanding on your energy and time.
My son was quite difficult when he was younger and would wake up on average 4 times in the night to be breastfed. I direct latch and he refused bottle then, so there was alot of tiredness and some resentment towards my hubby who continued to sleep on. Make sure you bottle feed your baby when he/ she's out so that someone can help you out, and you are not 'indispensible'. That's the most impt lesson I learnt from my first preganncy.
Thankfully he takes the bottle now and our life is somewhat closer to normal like a happy and less tired family (though still no long travelling possible lugging a little one around)
