anybody know which pimple cream safe to use? I read that creams with Retin-A is a big no no.
Hey, Mercsboy, thanks, your reply is super quick.
The bleeding stops last for now, but my hubby and I are still worried that it will come back one day. Now, he does the housework. Hee Hee, but I am kind of bored at home since I am not working now. Wonder if my baby will be very quiet next time.

scalp oso oilier now. hazeline snow works? gotta try
Jo: I quit my job few months ago to try for baby. Too stressful at work, my body goes crazy. After few months, we finally got it!!! Now pregnant, don't think can get a job already. So, can only stay at home and get pocket money from my hubby.
Mercsboy: I watch quite a fair bit of TV, mostly home and health channel on cable TV. Many show on pregnancy and babies. Quite interesting.
Any one here with history of hyperthyroidism, like me? More troublesome, got to see another doc beside gynae to follow up and monitor. More blood test, very xian.

Mercsboy, with only 1 income, we have to really watch our spending. Now with the baby coming, actually we are also worried about finances, but guess we have to wait and see loh.
Yesterday I just vacummed and mopped the floor, then my backpain is so bad. So, I won't do that anymore.
The gyane gave me the hormone tablets. Still eating them.
I went to Kiddy place few days ago. The maternity dress is not pretty. I think those baby doll dress sold by other shops are nicer, and still wearable after delivery. You may want to consider that.

The longan + red dates drink is nice, sweet and light. U gals should try. Yummy. My mum made it for me last week and i had to warn my hubby not to "fight" with me for it. She added wolfberry as well.
Hmm, when do we need to start wearing maternity clothes?

haha... i heard my fren said she got to buy a few rounds of maternity wear coz her tummy just got bigger and bigger, and those that she bought earlier couldn't fit anymore.
Not sure how to make the drink. My mum made it for me. I'll check with her the quantity for each ingredient and let u know. Just bring to boil & add rock sugar. Shd be easy.

hey hey...
just now i was lying down, then i noticed my little tummy beating... i think its baby's heartbeat lor. so cute.... now i'm assured that i'm still preggy. yeah!
suika, tho my tummy is still quite flat, esp after ps, i have stopped wearing my corporate blouse, skirt and pants. i feel tight too. maybe it's psychological. somehow i feel as if i'm tight there, but when i look down, it's still a washboard tummy
gosh.. wonder after birth will still get the wash board tumy or not.
kt08... not more housework for you. now even washing plates also my poor dh do. the only housework i do now is ironing. cos we use the standing steam iron, and dh doesn't know how to manage that.
since we are talking abt drinks, er... can we drink ginger tea?

i think so... paosheng is the one that we add into bird nest right?
I heard ginger tea can help get rid of the wind in the stomach. My gynae did suggest that to me when i complained i had a lot of wind.

Hi everyone,
Been missing for the past week because I actually started spotting and bleeding. Retribution must have come back to bite me on the backside because I said I didn't want this baby. Anyway Dr Ho said it was a threatened miscarriage and I was put on progesterone pills and jabs.
Felt like shit after every jab, sooooooooo tired. MS has hit me like a ton of bricks too and I feel horrible all day long. Add to that, I still have to look after and chase after my son. I really cannot imagine what life will be like when school reopens and I have to go back to work.
Well, one day at a time. I'll be going to see Dr Ho later today, probably to monitor my spotting/bleeding. Wish me luck!

hi mummies...
congratsto all.. me finally got my no2.. edd 28/1/09 hope to be the early ox and not last mouse..
i suppose what to eat or drink the key word would be moderate.... whatever u wan eat or drink as long as moderate willbe fine.. i also drink plenty of cold drinks due to the water but would try to control not to drink too much ...
so relax and enjoy the moment cause over u cannot find it back... all pregnancy is different feelings and situations..

janjan at least u can still use your bank's internet banking... we can't do anything, have to wait till we get home and often we work long hours, by the time we reach home, just wanna go and sleep.
What's PS?
So cool.. you can see your tummy moving... my hubby sometimes put his hand on my tummy and say he can feel the heartbeat but I'm quite sure he's joking.
yvonne which stretch mark cream did you buy? I'm looking for one too... the pharmacy here recommended this brand called bio-oil (not available in SG) but i did some internet research and the reviews are very mixed... so still not sure if I shld get it.
suika i also have to cook for me and hubby everyday... my hubby can't cook at all so if i dun do it, we have nothing to eat.
We treated ourselves to dinner out last nite and guess what?? Weighed myself this morning and found an additional 2kg!! YIKES!! I hope it's only temporary!!
Kim Try to rest more till the pregnancy stablizes lah... dun worry too much. I'm also not working, haven't been working for 6 months. It is quite boring sometimes. I usually spend a lot of time on the internet, reading, go for walks and take my own sweet time marketing. Also now can experiment with recipes, cooking and baking. TV here is super boring, esp w/out cable, so hardly watch any. It has been quite a big change for me cuz I used to work very long hours. There was a time when I got very depressed from being cooped up at home and feeling that what I do (e.g. housework, etc) has no value but i'm slowly getting used to it. What I dun like abt not working is the loss of financial independence. Not that I was earning a lot before, but it's still my own money and I could indulge myself occassionally... now want to buy anything must ask for money. Hoping to be able to get a part-time job when I return to SG.
js sorry to hear you haven't been well... hope you're better now. Would quitting your job or working fewer hours be an option if you're still unwell later?
bluberi hope things are fine... rest more..
kiddo congrats

Hi Lim Kim Kee, Yvonne & Kiddo: Welcome
JS: I share the same sentiments with you abt MS and school reopening soon. MS has hit me pretty bad and it lasts all day long! i really get so sick of it that even plain water makes me puke, feel so giddy can't do anything much...can't eat. sigh. even by just thinking of food makes me puke. and i hate it when nothing comes out, just those sour gastric juice.
Ladies,
wanna update u on my check-up yesterday & sorry i din not log in aft that cos really tired and slept at 9pm. the nurses finally automatically ask me to take urine, weight & blood pressure. saw Dr Khi and she did v-scan again and this time saw the baby really very clear unlike the scan at Dr. Adrian. I guess its the equipment they use. she said based on the scan, i'm 6w 5 days. but based on my LMP, i'm 7w 1 day. i asked her how come we don't base on LMP, and she said those that base on LMP the menses is counted at 28 days cycle and that some ppl ovulate later. but the more accurate way to check EDD is via ultrasound, and ONLY during 12 weeks time. like that only lor. now gotta go back to her in 2 weeks until 12th week, then appt will be once a month.
btw, she told me that those taking hormone pills, i.e. Duphaston, the MS tends to get worse, cos it helps to raise the hormone levels.
I also asked abt the first trimester blood test for HIV, Rubella etc and that will be done at 12 weeks together with OSCAR, so that they can draw blood one shot rather than poke so many times.
anyone has MS throughout the whole day? even if don vomit, but have the nausea feeling and funny taste in the mouth and sensitive to smell? i really dread eating now, cos i will sure vomit. so i try to take fruits and plain porridge only. sian ah....
yo, me also wanna go yoga leh, but in orchard lah...maybe will call up a few places to check it out first. btw, Dr Khi mentioned that the OSCAR test cost $298 before GST at TMC. anyone has different price in TMC or is it fixed?

Haiz, my MS is getting worst. Funny another 2 more weeks shld b honey-moon months but its kepping worst. feeling terrible in the evening n nite. My legs keep very tired very easily, feel like stay in the bed the whole day.
blessedmun, Dr Adrian had asked me to go for the cheaper test and had make a appointment with TMC on the 2/7/08. I think not doing the oscar test. I also 10weeks but nvr draw any blood n urine test yet. I will seeing him on another 2 weeks.

hey sperzz: i havent booked the appt yet.. havent decided which to go for... yes heard from dr adrian its 298 bucks for the oscar test but my friend told me hers was only 200 but also at TMC but under another gynae. have read the forum abt oscar test seems like it tends more twds negative results and causes much agony to couples which turn out to be false alarm after they undertook another test..
but so far most of my friends took the oscar test.. which is more ex too...so still qte undecided..
hey blueberri: u have to rest more ok.. w pray for u everything w be fine
hi samval: any reasons why u switching to dr khi? u were under dr adrian initially isit?

I bought the palmer's but don't know why i don't like it. feel queezy whenever i try to apply to tummy. if u are keen i can pass the tube to you to try out. no need to buy. i want to try clarins'. heard its good. but i supposed will be ex too!
oh ya hor, tmr's daddy's day. aiyah.. we are carrying their own flesh and blood. thats the best gift for daddy liao, i feel. i missed mother's day cos then still don't know pregnant yet. maybe we could do a meal outside tmr.
Samval: i have been on hormone pills for 2 weeks alr. initially i feel dizzy. now i don't feel it anymore.
those who are feeling queasy right now, REST REST REST!!!
