Pink Piglet,
I am also a thalessemic beta minor. These few days, i have been getting flashes of black and feel like fainting. Dr Wong says most prob need iron supplements but it may cause vomitting at this stage so she told me to try and if it does not settle well, take it at a later stage. Have not tried crowded areas but if i have been faintish at home, i wouldnt be surprised if i do in crowded areas.

pink piglet, me too, i m a alpha thalessemia carrier too.. luckily my hb don't have. tt's y my blood count a bit low too.. i m taking royal jelly now, hopefully can "prevent" my bb from having thalessemia too.. tt's wat my sis did for her children and seems pretty effective.
asura, wat's a FBI card?

Annt,
I've also heard from my mum to avoid taking any herbs or tonic esp during the 1st trimester.
Asura,
Me too, lost about 2kg since i preggy. I've always been a foodie but now simply dun have the appetite leh... but strangely my pants feel tight already heehee. i think the only craving i have so far is Popiah, funny right!
Hope we all can gain our appetite and eat properly for our baby soon

Sun,
did ur gynae say what is wrong with eating crabs? By the way, i am avoiding lamb as well... from the statistics i get, if MTB eat lamb during preg, bb would be born more hairy and darker... i hope not if it is going to be a girl... so just in case... hee..
Shall follow my mom's method of drinking soya milk or milk everyday, me and my bro are really fair... hahah..

Wintertime,
FBI is first born incentive, they have got subsequent born incentive as well. http://www.thomsonmedical.com/facilities.htm
You can visit the website to take a look. Call them and ask them to email you the brochure. Think i would sign up once i make my appt for OSCARS since got 10% discount. Read that can get up to $450 discount with cordlife. Am quite keen on cordlife so the card is quite worth it.

Sandi,
No worries, bb got a yolk sac with all the nutrients we ate before we got pregnant... haha.... was a foodie too.. so confirm bb got lots of nutrients now! Think the yolk sac is sufficient until week 12 when the placenta is built. Do take more vit C, i read that it is good for strong placenta.

Sandi,
i vomitted milo once...don't dare take liao. Maybe try horlicks next round. Mineral water like not safe also...dunno is it becos of the minerals...
my mum says don't eat Internal organs as afriad they never wash properly and thus will have bacterial, esp. the intestines.
I still eat Kway Chap, the dishes keep to "Tau pok, egg, fish cake, and tau kwa"...Boring...

magd,
I presume with ur qn that u are not going to give up ur bb...
We all wish for u to keep.
How to not put on weight... me 1st time mom here... I think if we stick to our usual pre-preg diet + 2 glasses of milk, would help us.. but then definitely got one stage extra greedy one... somemore no waistline, so just eat... that would be a sure guarantee weight gain...

magd, thanks for the advice on the mutton.
Seen your reply and realised you have not yet decide whether to keep ur No.4.... Great...Give it some good thoughts. Hope that you will choose to keep God's Gift... There will ultimately be a way out to the worries that are keeping you from keeping the bb.
You can Do It!

Sun, Pink Piglet, Azura,
Still got me!! my EDD almost same as yours, just 1-2 days diff. Actually I dunno my EDD, my doc didn't tell me when he saw me last Thurs. my LMP was 15Jun, so I used the calc that Sun sent to predict and it's 29 Mar 08. I'm seeing gynae this Fri again, and this time must remember to ask him.
MTBs, My colleague was telling me from her experience and dunno read from where that once you know you are preggy, refrain from BD till 1st trimester over, otherwise would risk getting spotting or bleeding. Dunno how true, but I was told the same thing by gynae when I had my #1 when I had spotting, but didn't do anything also kena. dunno why.

Asura,
oic.. then u better dont walk too much too, its dangerous if we faint lo...my friend also have Thalessamia, but she cos its consider in born, even if we take iron pills, it may not help much..
hey I tried Similac Mum and Anmum milk powder, but i prefer Anmum smells better and its not sweet even tot i took the chocolate one. I find Similac mum sweet, so i dont really like.
Wintertime,
wah u also ah...i think its v common to have thalessamia. I read somewhere online b4 and they said the chances of transfering thalessamia to baby gal is higher than to boy.. i think it may be true somehow, how its pass on to me but not to my brother.
gingal,
same here i also feel giddy & breathless. aiyo like just went for jogging...kekkeke..
kome,
i think they said the meat that are used in hotdogs are fatty and its consider processed food, so its not good to take. but this morning i still take hotdog bread cos i really dont kw what to take lor, i think once awhile should be ok.

gingal,
i still take mutton curry occasionally when preggy with #1 but that was when i am into my late 2nd trimester. Chinese older folks believe intake of mutton during pregnancy can cause Yang Tian Feng aka fits but no scientific evidence lo. My gynae say mutton no prob, in moderation.
As for Soya milk, i have been drinking it every morning for breakfast. The last time, i took Milo every day without fail & my #1 turn out to be darker in complexion so this time round, i change to take Soya. Hope that it's not too liang?
fairymoss,
If gynae give green light to BD during 1st trimester, why not? Since no tummy bulge to obstruct BD...hehe <gentle BD & not rough BD> of course if u experience spotting, gynae normally would say NO & wait till 2nd trimester. Wait till later 3rd trimester, no mood to BD liao!

sun,
yeh, i read somewhere also.. they said can add some lemon (maybe a slice i guess) to hot water, its helps for pple w MS.
but for me i dont have MS the most i feel nausea, dont kw whether to be happy or not.. cos i heard pple who have alot of preggy sign shows that hormones are doing well..and i scared if i dont vomit and kept eating so much i will gain alot..so not sure its a blessing or what.

pink piglet: this is no4..... wahahhaha.... that's why i am so reluctant.
the govt better gives something good else i surely will have to terminate lor. my hb face not so nice liao oso.
oppsgal: better not cos preggy not stable yet soya milk is ok but too much will cause wobbly legs. the donno what powder inside.... only noe in teochew. so milk still better. else like me lor... take calcium. but nw not so yet.... folic acid still more impt.
kome: there are ways to lose all the weight la. but i am so frustrated by the time being fat. if you factor in preggie days plus bf... for me is av 10mths... it would be like 2 years of fat lor. then losing it all would take another 3mths min leh. you go count lor. haiz....
