Good to know that no MS is not abnormal but I also heard that MS is also a good sign as it means your baby is growing well.
Jasmine
Yah..I know she has 5 kids. I started seeing her 19 months ago when I was trying to conceive and for my pregnancy, I continued with her and had two visits already. The nurse also told me that they do not have package anymore, but I think paying by per visit will cost slightly more than package. But I don't mind paying a bit more for a good gynae.

Common pregnancy problems
Often pregnancy brings with it some of these troublesome conditions. Here are some of the more common pregnancy problems and how to deal with them.
<font color="0000ff">Anaemia:</font> If you find yourself tiring easily, chances are that you are anaemic. Apart from the iron pills from your doctor, eat plenty of green vegetables, lean red meat, dried fruits and nuts as a natural source of iron. Iron supplements may cause constipation
<font color="0000ff">Backache:</font> Sleep on a firm mattress. Maintain good posture – standing straight and not slouching when sitting. Keep to low-heeled shoes to avoid adding further strain to your back.
<font color="0000ff">Morning sickness:</font> Take smaller meals instead of three big ones. Nibble on plain biscuits when you are feeling hungry. Try some ginger or ginger ale which is supposed to quell the nausea. Avoid spicy foods and strong smells.
<font color="0000ff">Frequent urination:</font> Your baby is pressing on your bladder causing frequent urination. At night, lessen your fluid intake so that your sleep will not be broken by trips to the loo.
<font color="0000ff">Breathlessness:</font> Your uterus pushes up the diaghragm and your lungs have less room to expand fully. You find yourself becoming more breathless because of this. To help you breathe better when lying down, prop yourself up with pillows to raise your head and shoulders.
<font color="0000ff">Constipation:</font> Pregnancy hormones relax the gut, so food passes through the system more slowly. To help your bowel movements going, eat more fibre, get plenty of fluids and do some light exercise – going for a stroll after dinner.
<font color="0000ff">Cramps:</font> You may find yourself experiencing cramps in your legs or feet. Calcium tablets may help. Or include a little more salt to your diet – but check with your doctor before you do this.
<font color="0000ff">Fainting:</font> Many women get fainting spells especially in the first trimester because of the poorer blood circulation to the brain because of the increased progesterone. You can help yourself by moving your legs to keep the blood flowing. When seated or lying down, and you need to get up – do so slowly.
<font color="0000ff">Haemorrhoids (piles):</font> These can be made worse if you constipate. Labour often aggravates them. Most times, they should subside after you have given birth. If not, let your doctor know and he may prescribe suppositories or ointment to shrink them. To help yourself, drink more water and include more fibre in your diet.
<font color="0000ff">Heartburn:</font> Because of the baby pushing on your stomach, this may cause the digestive juices from the stomach to back up into your throat area, causing heartburn. Tell your doctor if it gets unbearable. He may prescribe you drugs to safely prevent it. For some people, drinking a glass of milk helps prevent it.
<font color="0000ff">Water retention:</font> You may find your ankles, feet and hands becoming very swollen. This is caused by water retention. You can try to minimise this by reducing your salt intake and putting your feet up whenever you get the chance.
<font color="0000ff">Rashes:</font> Some pregnant find themselves getting rashes especially under the breast and in the groin area. Avoid tight fitting clothes and go for cotton underwear.
<font color="0000ff">Tiredness:</font> This is normal, especially in the first and last trimester. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night, and if possible, take a nap during the day.
fyi...

hi all, does anyone notice that you are pregnant even without you telling them in the first place?
one of my colleagues asked whether i am expecting. i believe she didn't learn abt my pregnancy from the others. she told me i look that i'm expecting! didn't have to chance to ask her for details cos rushing for class..
does anyone have similar experience?

maybe cos she's also a mother..
i believe we can still take ginger. cos when i read a pregnancy book, it is stated that taking dried, sweetened ginger can help to curb the feeling of MS

Hi corene,
Everyone was asking whether i was preg when i got 2 days MC from my GP but I lied that i had a fever. Cos just tested +ve and dont really want anyone to know until i can at least hear my bb heartbeat. I am quite mindful to act normally in front of them, even when i feel nausea, i would retreat into my cubicle to suffer. The only difference is that i walk more cautiously and when i take cabs, i make sure that the seat belt is not too tight on the tummy. Luckily all my clothes got lots of room so should be able to last me for the 1st trimester. heheh... actually interesting to find out when they would realise based on our tummy and actions other than from mc taking.

I agree with Asura, as long as you know your own limits, and since we are pregnant, we should just slow down just a bit on the physical things that we have to do daily just to be on the safe side. I still wear high heels to work but I am extra careful of every step. Most importantly, take care of yourself.

Hi Gals,
Thanks for encouraging me to rest at home. I will do so
Hi Steph,
Thanks for the link on consumption of fish and seafood. Glad I can eat some prawns, though I dun particularly crave them!
Hi Scrumpee,
No I didn’t get any jab, just duphaston. I guess cos my spotting not serious. But I’d monitor closely, if it persists, I might just go and ask for a jab!
Hi gals,
This week I'm on 5day MC, for sure when i go to work this Fri or next Mon i'd have a zillion people asking me what hap!

Hi Ausra and Kazooie
Thank you for sharing. Just to share something with you all. I just got a pair of crocs shoes to wear for casual and I think it is good man. Got the grip and not afraid that it will slip. Good buy! hee. But as for working shoes, think preg women shouldn't wear too high lah. 1 - 1.5 inches should be fine. that is wat a chinese sinseh told me.

Ok for my M/C , I was not feeling well that time and was down with flu at 5weeks+ and seen gynea and at that time confirmed pregnacy and give me some medicine for flu and was told to come back 2 weeks later . Then later at 7weeks+ , went back to gynea , and got this bad news , no heartbeat and heartbeat just stop a few days accordingly to gynea as the baby grow and can see the shape . Just the night before seeing gynea , I had bad cramps that come and goes and that's a sign of miscarriage accordingly to my gynea . Then I cried that this unexpected preganacy that came earlier than planned had to end . But I think it's fated lah , my first preg spotting and take 3 weekly an tai jab and managed to save my gal . First preg no MS or anything , second preg MS was very bad for first tri that I lost 3kg instead but luckily baby did grow .
