As long as you feel comfy in your bra, is ok liao. However, for nursing bras, best to get those without underwire. As per Wong Boi Boi from TMC, this is to avoid milk clog. I have very serious milk duct blocked the 1st few days after delivery. Went to her and suffered in pain loh (they have to push out all the hardened milk out), super painful!!
 
hi ladies!
wah! never log in for less than a day only so many posts and happenings! i was busy all day with work and then in e aftn hubby called me coz he not feeling well and vomited (he said he felt like he was e one preggie, hahah) so i drove him to clinic. kenah some viral thingy, got an injection now he K.O.

Bear,
hmm..i think if u are not comfortable with ur gynae this is a good time to look for a another gynae. its best to find someone u feel comfortable and can rely on. in e meantime, dun let him affect ur mood ok? just keep a positive mind and relax as much as poss. i was apprehensive about my gynae too as his charges are really high, but hubby and i like his character, patience and sense of humour so we decided to stick with him. and he even take notes down like what our occupation are and he asked about our job when we went for our 1st appt which was almost 1 year after seeing him for routine check up. it was a nice touch.

Blessedmum,
hmm, i am still wearing normal bra although i have to use the last hook already if not i feel like my boobs very constricted by e bra cups. will see how it goes, if it gets more uncomfortable and the cup size increase much more wil get a couple of new bras.

hey Hui,
try not to go hungry for too long. just now i send hubby at 4plus only i feel hungry and straight away e nausea kicks in, so i faster go coffeeshop and eat a bowl of tom yam noodles. now the nausea not so bad, only a lil bloated.

velvel,
i like Munchy brand of crackers. its more browned than normal crackers and very fragrant. =P

oh, can i just check how often are ur checkups with ur gynaes now? coz it seems like most of you here see ur gynae quite often. my next appt is not till a month later (when I am about 12 weeks). is that the norm?
 
velvel, yes from TMC. I read that she is very good and wanted to see her but was very full to see me so I decided to see someone else.

haru, if baby is normal and everything is ok than visit is every 4 weeks.
 
Hui, u crave for spicy food ah... me too, but i carve more for tomyam kind of soup

Lovedogs,

When is your edd and is this ur 1st pregnancy?
 
hi joyce!!! my edd should be mid november. Not sure when exactly yet cos my gynae only saw a sac duringthe last visit. Supposed to go for another check up next week. This should be my 2nd pregnancy. I have a baby girl who is turning 15 mths soon. I had c-section for my first baby.

How about yourself??? First pregnancy???
 
welcome milkshake!

hey ya all,
tis evening i feel really uneasy. felt like forcing myself to puke. feeling all bloated and could only keep burping air..
 
welcome milkshake!
haru, i think is every 4 wks or so coz my appt is 4 wks time from e last appt (i will be in 11th wk then) i also cannot wait for next appt =D wanna see n make sure BB is doing well..
 
<font color="aa00aa">Hi mummies,

morning ladies,
woke up early tis morning even before alarm rang, coz felt e urge to go toilet. it seems that i always wake up automatically now w/o e alarm, bowel movement super regular now. felt so hungry after showering so went to hawker centre to eat a bowl of wanton mee w ketchup.

hey Jenn,
thanks! ya, about e same as me. when i next see gynae (2nd appt) i will be about 12 weeks. think my baby is really "american baby" as my gynae jokes. coz my nausea normally kicks in the strongest in the evening.last nite was one of the worst evenings for me to date. was coughing lots trying to force out some puke, even hubby was a lil worried.
 
Morning..all..

Val,

Yup she is always very full and waiting time is super long for sat slot.. But she is very nice. Very comfortable to talk to.

haru, yup. agreed alot of nice biscuit to munch on.. stock up orange peels and biscuit last nite.

Ya.. if bb is normal and healthy.. once a month is alrite.. for me its diff..cos im weaker.. once a week and now once every 2 weeks.
 
velvel,
yah thats why I decided not to wait. My gynae now is good recommended by a friend who have 2 kids with him. So far very satisfied.
How many weeks are you in now?
 
morning ladies

Val,

velvel,

welcome milkshake!

haru, I think its normal to visit gynae every 4 weeks. for me, every week. Very tough on my pocket. Wish i can visit like every 2 weeks but currently feel more safe to see every week.

Welcome Milkshake on board!
 
hui,

i think i will go make a cup of coffee now... coz sometimes when i have migraine, caffeine will help...

how i wish i can take mc... but got 3 meetings in the afternoon
sad.gif


your breakfast sounds so yummy leh..... making me hungry liao
happy.gif
 
Hui, i also need chilli to have appetite to eat leh.
I had sun gui, cheong fun for breakfast with extra chilli. No chilli=no appetite for me. oh so yummy. Your lor mee sound so yummy too.

Cant wait for today to move on faster.

Love dogs, chinese tea works for my headache. I had stopped coffee for 1 year liao.

hey gals, my mom say drink milk will produce fair baby. Is this true, any ideas? She say when she had me, only available drink is coffee, so me turn out tan. As for my brother, she drink lots of milk, thus he is fair as a 'bai zhan ji'. Wonder how true. I currently have no appetite for milk. Only strawberry flavour and milo. Hmmm...
 
lovedogs, I freq have migraine too. Usually take one panadol and takes quite a while to show effect. When my migraine is mild, I do drink coke. It helps a little for me.
 
2nd baby,
v scan is not painful to me too, cause she is experienced and can perform well
happy.gif
U told her already ah, ya lor, so coincidence..
 
Lovedogs,
caffeine!! hoo.. i had a cup of Tea this morning :D Talking abt MC.. how i wish also.. my "yao" so pain!

Dreamyjo,
so many chilli ka kees here!!i tink drink milk or soya bean is great!!
 
Hello ladies!

Welcome Milkshake!

Re: Bras and Panties
When do u guys start changing panties ah? i noticed that panties are getting a bit tight liao. are there such things as maternity panties? or are they just super large granny panties. hahaha...

Re: Food
I dun have a prob eating lunch.. seems like dinner is the issue. my gastric also started to hurt.. sigh...

Lovedogs, poor u... hang in there ya?

Haru, i have been dreaming of wanton mee last night too.. slurp.. me trying to stay away from outside food.. my body already very weak. my mum told me to drink a bottle of chicken essence everyday! anyone doing that?

Dreamyjo, my mum is a coffee addict. she took 3 cups a day while carrying me and my sis. my sis is very fair while i m super tan.
 
Bear,

Carol,
Welcome!!

Thanks! Its suffering for me right now...vomit after each meal, especially after dinner and I keep feeling very tired!! But looking on the bright side, at least in the mean time, I will not be putting on too much weight...hee..
 
Hui &amp; bear, the way u mentioned the maternity panty was funny, like granny panties! Agreed with hui, i also bought 1 during my 1st pregnancy and till now still totally unopened, see already so turn off
happy.gif


Carol, is like that during 1st trimester, a bit more xin ku, just bear a while more and MS will gone!
 
Joyce, ya. She is reali very experienced. Not painful at all.

Hui n Bear, I did buy maternity panties with low waist kind. Got them from Metro. Much nicer than the high waist one.

Today, no appetite. Duno y cant eat. So far only have half a slice of sandwich.
 
seems like all mummies like spicy food..me too had chilli and rice cake...haha

Hui.. yao pain i also suffer from that too..

Re: COffee
Im a coffee addict too but heard that caffeine affect growth of BB so i 'ge ai' and didnt took a sip at all.. my hubby dont encourage me to drink that too.. cos he always feel that im not like other preg woman..simple and easy preg.. so need to take extra care..

wana puke..haix
 
Ya, keeping my fingers crossed and praying very hard. Gynea say still got 3 weeks more to go...very xin ku. Esp. night time, keep feeling very chilly and kept wanting to puke after food. Sorry for all the lamenting....just want to let it out!
sad.gif
 
lovedogs,
ya thats true. my visit with him is already like $300+.

hey hui,
ur breakfast menu always very nice!! i miss my bt purmei lor mee too. think i will go have it this weekend. hehehe..

dreamyjo,
my gynae actually recommends soy milk to normal milk. its e same or more amt of calcium. i personaly think its yummy too. thinking of tryin e organic kind. for now i am just taking Sobe soya milk.

welcome carol!!

hey Bear,
think we are similar, dinner time and evening hours are the most affected ones. super hungry yet feel a lil sick to eat, but no choice gota fill tummy. if not, really feeling like puking.

i packed a lunchbox with 2 slices for peanut butter bread. took one just now. wil take the other in e afternoon. think when i feel nausea its good to take a bite of the bread. helps a lil..
 
Hi Haru!
Same sentiment here....infact, I asked my friends why they always call it morning sickness, but in my case, I am more like night sickness, if not the whole day.
 
Carol,

Xin Ku is the word..

Tell u guys.. i think its funny and it happened to me.

Whenever i intend to go to the ladies or just the thought of it.. it makes me nausea.. it not that the toilet is dirty or smelly.. its just the thought..Hubby claimed that BB dont like to go toilet. hahahaha.
 
Joyce,
i pass to my grandma dun tink she will wear also.. she will say.. "u tink i so auntie meh!" haa!!

2nd baby,
haa.. that time 1st time preg mah so duno maternity panty gor low waist wan

Haru,

Welcome Carol.

Re:Granny panties
Hahaha.. i think i will look around! heehee.. buy those extra large ones for now and see how.. i can't wear those high waist one!! so uncomfy! all my undies are hipster type.. heehee...

Hey how abt shorts ah? we also must buy bigger sized shorts? cos my shorts also a bit tight liao.. sigh..

Haru, ya lor dunno why we suffer in the evenings!! :p in the day i try to eat normally but currently eating lesser than my usual amt. Funny thing is that i still sweat at night! dunno where all the heat come from..
 


Carol,
i read from somewhere why they called morning sickness is bcos morning is the worse so they called MS. But the sickness last all day long, not only during morning.
