babe,

I'm having the jitters too! 2 nights ago, I dreamt that I was breastfeeding my baby and it was a breeze. When I woke up, I went "yeah right!"
 
missycandy
For my case, I also kept mum at the beginning cos even I wasn't sure if everything was fine. My hubby really wanted us to tell both our parents so we decided to announce just after my 7 weeks checkup. I think it was a good decision to let them and the siblings know first. The rest will be informed after 1st trimester.
 
Promeganate
Haha, what a good dream! I really hope BF is going to be a breeze for all of us! My mum said she had painful engorgement when she had my elder sis (1st).
 
missycandy
for me oni my family n close frens noe abt it..
my hb still donno hw to bring the topic out to pil.. haha.. aniway am considering to inform once i noe the gender..
 
for boss is no choice becos my work is 24hrs.. so i had to let my boss & colleagues know so they can give me light duty.. especially since im worried anything will happen if too stressful and overworked... so now cut down to office hours n light work... hee

lenny and bliss:: haha i'm at jurong west st 42~~~ ahahha!! which gynaes are you all going? same one?

I'm gg to the one at st 41, lenny think u should know? ehheh!!!
 
Hi hi,

I'm back after the nap. Feel so good now!
Noticed when i peed just now, there is a burning sensation, i think Dr. abit not careful or not enough lubricant when he "look" into my vaginal for blood traces just now. I think my "V" is abit stretched, or is it cos too long nvr use that's why stretched easily? Keke...
Then i noticed something else, I'm having the greenish discharge again, curd-like greenish/whitish...Dammit!!! Gotta drink more water and use lactacyd to wash often again.

Joining u gers on the MS/Preg symptoms i'm experiencing:

1) Nauseas (Most times)
2) Smaller appetite
3) Crave very Spicy/Sour stuffs
4) Giddiness
5) Always feeling Cold
6) Dry mouth
7) Tastelessness in the mouth
8) Super sore and swollen breasts
9) Frequent Urination
10) Don't feel like putting make-up or dress-up
11) Yeast Infection
12) Backaches
13) Insomnia (Toss & Turn & feel so restless)

Re: My pt no. 10, anyone also like me? My boss's PA noticed that and asked me about it. She says she suspect I'm having a BB Boy, cos when she is having her Boy, she is also like dat, her SIL also. When her SIL having Ger, she dresses up more than when she is having boy...Keke..Anyway, my Hb and best frens also commented i'm so aunty nowadays...
sad.gif
hope he won't lose interest in me soon.

Burning sensation?! Hope it's not UTI. I heard that is quite common during pregnancy. I had that 3 times last year and geez it was a nasty experience and I peed out blood the 1st time. At that time, I couldn't figure out why I had it again and again.... I found out later my hubby also had slight UTI so most likely we've been passing to each other. On your greenish discharge, I would get that checked out with your gynae again or see a GP if I were you.
 
thanks babe,

Not to worry for me, It's not the 1st time, I already visited my gynae the last round cos of the funny discharge...It is infection, taking care of the hygiene and washing with lactacyd will do the trick. The burning sensations should be due to some tear just now when doctor insert dunno what into my vaginal, definitely not the pee area but when the pee reached the vaginal opening area (Oh Gosh am i too detailed). Anyway, once i'm ok, will confirm again. I don't think will pee blood bah..so scary..
 
Sun,
U feeling ok? Still weak from your MS?

Dear all,
I forgot one more symptom i'm having, I burped alot and fart alot nowadays. Dunno is it due to the food i took or it is nornal during pregnancy.
 
Some more tips on preventing vaginal infections

Many factors can play a role in the occurrence of vaginal infections and discharge. What can you do to reduce your risk of vaginal infections? Practicing these simple tips significantly reduces your risk of getting a vaginal infection:

- Always wear white cotton panties. Cotton allows your genital area to breath, helping the vaginal are to stay dry. It's also a good idea to wear panties only during the day and not at night when you are sleeping.

- Don't use vaginal douches.

- If you are being treated for a vaginal infection, use all the medication as directed even if you think you are better.

- Don’t have sexual intercourse during treatment for a vaginal infection and until you have no more symptoms.

- Avoid vaginal contact with products that can irritate the vagina such as feminine hygiene products, perfumed or deodorant soaps, powders, lotions, and bubble baths.

- Always avoid prolonged wearing of tight-fitting clothing such as bathing suits, exercise wear, pantyhose, or slacks.

- Many times, vaginal infections cause intense itching – don’t scratch! Itching infected, inflamed areas will only make things worse.

Always wipe from front to back after urination or having a bowel movement. Improper wiping easily spreads bacteria to the vagina and may lead to vaginal discharge and infection.

Of course good basic hygiene, plenty of sleep, and well-rounded nutrition with an appropriate fluid intake are always good idea for vaginal health, as well as for your overall health and well-being.


Oh just to add one more, I personally find drinking a little pure cranberry juice is great self therapy for keeping the urinary tract clean.
 
Wow babe,

Thanks, i take it as a checklist and i got this point that i have not followed:

- If you are being treated for a vaginal infection, use all the medication as directed even if you think you are better.

I stopped using the wash as soon as I was better already..so now comes back loh.

It's a tick on all other pointers except I dunno what Vaginal douches is. I heard cranberry juice is good also, but I don't like the taste...it's like cough syrup...will puke...
 
This one explains it better than I can!

Douching is the cleaning out or rinsing of the vagina by squirting water or other solutions into the vagina. Some women douche to rinse away blood after a menstrual period, clean the vagina after sex to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and wash away semen to prevent pregnancy, and reduce odors.

Many medical authorities recommend against douching, regardless of being pregnant or not. The vagina has its own mechanisms for keeping itself clean and balancing pH and bacteria levels, and introducing a liquid into this environment may actually increase the risk of infections. Under normal circumstances, a daily shower or bath should be sufficient to keep the vagina clean.
 
Babe,
Hahaha that's one heck of a comprehensive list! Thanks!

What did you girls have for dinner today? I notice that my appetite is growing smaller. I've been eating smaller meals. This is all that I ate today:

10am: Chicken burger and fruit juice (banana, apple and peach)

2.30pm: 1 Sardine Curry Puff

3pm: Prawn noodles (just half a portion)

5.30pm: 1 Curry Puff and a cup of Milo

8pm: 1 pear (Tasted sooo good)

That's all I ate so far. No appetite to eat a proper dinner. Later I'm drink a cup of Anmum milk.
 
Gingal,

Sorry to read that you've got an infection. I'm going to guess that water is also a great therapy and remedy for many ailments, so drink up!
 
waaaaaaa thats quite a lot...

today so far... 1 chicken sandwich... 1 bite of egg sandwich... few bites of nectarine fruit... 1 cup of milk, small bunch of grapes and im still very hungry!!! =(
 
missycandy
yr appetite was gd... envy u no MS...
me hving small meals daily, sometimes see food oso nauseous but no choice hv to force myself to munch stg...
 
Hi cindy and bliss.. i just moved to this new place earlier this yr.. things happens too fast for me, ROM, renovate home, Chinese Customary weddingen move to new home and settle down for 3 mths. i thought i can get a break but got preggy.. i guess life is never easyi don;t know which gynae u gals go to for the jurong area. i used to go to Mary Yang of gleneagles for my regular but i was recommended to Dr. T.C. Chang of Thomson medical Center by a close friend of mine cos he saved her baby. she told me that he is really good and i trust her so i went to him direct.

promeganate,
ctually my facial is short changed cos we are preggy now.. so a lot of steps that require machines that have electrical current is a no no..  lugi wor... cos alrady signed up for the package..

about my in-laws.. i don;t have good relationship with them. they never wanted us to get married and screwed up our wedding. their son had never said no to them his whole life even though he was unhappy with the way he is controlled. after being with me, he learned to speak up and defend himself when he is wronged so his parents didn't like it and tried to break us up using extreme methods and emotional blackmail. anyway.. its over and we are married. we both know won;t let them know at this stage cos i want to have a happy pregnancy. knowing how they are.. they will want to take control of me as well. they tried but failed i.e. i was asked to put them first priority and leave my parents, brother, and my friends aside for the past 2 yrs before i had enough of their nonsense.well.. this is not the thread to talk about all these. so it alright andi have gotten over it and moved on with my hubby.

waiting for my hair to dry before i can hit the sack
 
my food diary for today

breakfast: Subway steak and egg sandwich with Mr Bean Soya bean

lunch: fish soup with half bowl of rice

tea break: mee siam and 1 chicken wing from old chang kee

dinner: 2 slices of sardines and 5 pieces of yong tau fu soup with vegetables
 
i think ok.. just need to tell them that u are preggy so they will skip some steps..

anything that uses machine and has electrical current to do it on your face is a no no. Then ask beautician NOT to give you shoulder and back massage.
 
Gingal,I also burped and farted a lot.. and i feel so big and don;t feel like dressing up or make up or stepping out of the house as i feel lousy
 
Sun96,
my gf told me not to risk it.. cos the veins might connect to our womb. for the back.. its closer to our womb so don;t injure it in our 1st trimester.

i called my beauty salon to ask if they have massages for pregnant woman. they have but we can only go after we passed the 4th month when bb is more stable
 
lenny
thks for yr explanation... i'll mentioned to my beautician when i'm gg for facial... tink will hv to wait till 1st trimester then my hb will allow me to go...
 
sun96,
your hubby is so sweet, he is just being protective of you. that's nice.. treasure him

i think all the MTBs are resting already, no one else is responding to the thread. i will sleep after watching my csi on cable, chat again tomorrow,,

hi all, my account was suspended, dont know what happened and I wasnt' allowed to post any entries..
sad.gif
so I applied again under a different username... like some of you I also feel cold at times (and have been sleeping with a sweater on at night even without A/C on)

MS kicked it really badly and tho' I dont puke cos' I'm not eating much.. the only thing I can stomach is porridge and Im going to just stick to that + some bovril. Fruits help me.. taht's about it.. I hate the smell of anyone cooking, frying.. Just makes me sick!!!

now let me catch up on the postings..

Morning ladies

Update of my check up yesterday:

My gynae confrim that i have yeast infections and given me a cream and medicine to eat and apply. After 2 wks need to go check again.

Can hear BB heartbeat and length of BB is 1.9cm. Not too sure is it normal or not. Haha.....my HB said last time Dr mention that my bb size was smaller by 1 wk now so fast grow to correct size already after 2 wks.
 
sun96/lenny,

my beautician told me that can do shoulder massage but not acupoint massage on the shoulder... i.e. normal rubbing is okay...
cos pressing on acupoints may activate uterine contractions and may lead to M/C or early delivery. She also recommend that we only go for facial after week 16 as some products may contain essential oils and some MTBs are very sensitive and activate uterine contractions as well. No electric currents for the entire pregnancy as well. Lucky for me, i got 2 package, 1 with a lot of electrical appliances, another is for manual work only... whew! at least never lugi so much.

For back massage or any kind of massage.. no foot reflex throughout... note that foot reflex is different from foot massage.. any other massage recommended only after week 16. i intending to go for prenatal massage once i get to week 16.... hopefully rustic nirvania got promotion when i am in week 16.. back aching and shoulders are ultra stiff.. the other recommended place for prenatal massage is clarins (cant remember where)
 
asura - i also dont know y my acct was suspended..

To alleviate your constipation problem, I suggest you take fruits.. Don't worry about all that chinese belief that taking fruits will result in asmatic children (studies have shown, that preg moms who take alot of nuts may face this problem, not fruits). If you are worried, try to take the fruits unchilled.
 
Pammie,

Thanks for the advise. Have bought some kiwi..
happy.gif

Though i generally avoid watermelon, not cause it is liang but cos watermelon attracts the most bacteria after being cut,esp at cut fruit stalls when they have put the watermelon outside for god knows how long.
 
Morning Ladies

Today I felt good, can eat 1 Mac Big Breakfast and 1 Hotcakes all by myself. Still hungry. Try to eat while I still can stomach them.
 
Gingal
Me same as you, thought that douching will be cleaner. On dera.....we really must kick this bad habit.

Pammie
Hope so. The nurse told me to apply the whole tube cream finish cannot stop even not itchy already.

Asura
Regarding the payment for those maternity clothes from taiwan. They accept credit card. Ok, basically this is how i go abt it:

1) I email to them with those pictures of clothes that i want and also inform them i from Singapore

2)They will inform you the stocks and colour availability

3) Request for quotation

4) After that, they inform you a link to use credit card for payment.
 
Kome,

Thank you! I think i shall do some online shopping tonite... by the time the shipment, i should be due to wear them already...
happy.gif
Did they say how long the shipping takes? Email is in english? When's ur shipment due to arrive? So exciting!
 
Lenny,
Wow u used to stay around here ah?
it's the same cluster i'm staying now.
seems like you like Jurong West alot.
it's good that you got pregnant easily cos there are many who took a long time to.
Sorry to hear about your ILs... but good that you all are not staying together with them.

Cindy,
i chose my Gynae not based on location.
it's through recommendations.
mine is Dr SC Chew at Mt E.

Wow, looks like all of us are suffering almost the same set of pregnancy symptoms.

Announcing Pregnancy:
Personally, after some experience, i feel that it's good to share the news of our pregnancy with our immediate families and close friends or colleagues.
whether the outcome is good or negative, i am sure i have a network of support which i feel is very important.
 
minnie24,

wow! u can really eat loads today! The only good thing that i can think of from the lack of appetite is no weight gain and no feeling upset abt not being able to eat my favorite food like sashimi.

Yesterday, i got notti, ate 2"harm" from my colleague's plate of fried kway teow... heh
 


hi ladies,

i didn't vomit today and just had my cranberries scone from cedele for breakfast. enjoying my first cup of coffee since the last 3 days. kekeke

Asura,
Thanks for gicing us so much info about the massage. i only briefly knew about this, my gf is just being protective and playing safe to warn me.

i guess we all have to wait till we passed our 16 weeks before going for all these
