scrumpee - no more MS? how blessed.. mine still v bad.. now im allergic to my hubby's perfume !! just like how it was for me when I had no.1, and he had to switch perfumes for me.. now got to switch again. just now i vomitted when he walked into the room. MS is terrible this time, i think i lost close to 3kg, not just merely from throwing up but from lack of appetite... im eating a fraction of what I used to eat.. I was always binging but now I shudder when it's mealtime..
Afcai - ya, that lady from my church it seems but i've never met her
I spoke to a frend w 4 kids n she said it's hardest with 1 and gets increasingly easier .. by the time her no. 4 came it was v easy.. I guess the infrastructure n experience is there..

yap you should attend ... i went for the TMC one taught by the 'famous' mrs wong. think they have improved alot since my time cos i read my fren's blog, q interesting. but usually they only allow you to attend after you pass your 20th or 24th week but no harm to call and check. weekend class always v pack.

i have been tempted to take coconut juice but am forbidden - apparently to the indians, they are recommended to take coconut juice in the 1st trimester.. What's the difference between their bodies and ours?? all these talk about no cooling drinks, I wonder if they have any grounds.. honestly.

U lost 3 kg! Wow...I envy you.
Yah...I had very bad MS from 6 to 8 week especially at night. But the feeling seemed to have subsided this week. Only felt nauseous occasionally like when I smell something really smelly or in a cruising car for too long. But I still have alot of wind and gas, kept farting. Am so worried my colleagues will hear me. Haha!

Can you give me the url to Gap? I went to the Gap.com but it said it do not deliver out of US. Wonder if the Gap boutiques in Singapore sell maternity clothes.

Babies who have jaundice than need to put in morning or evening sun. Doctor will advice you if needed.
Suddenly remember that doctor told us to bring bb to sun when he was borned, but that period always raining. You know what my mum do? She switch on her bedroom light and cover my son eyes with towel and put him under the light. I laugh all the way and asked my mum would it work or not? She just replied and said no choice.

scrumpee,
Same here... my MS worst so far is week 6 to week 8. Gynae warned me that week 9 and 10 is worst but hor.. i feel like it is easing, i dont get MS 24 hrs now... though i wouldnt consider it on and off... and the good part is my energy is slowly returning to normal levels. The past 2 weeks were terrible for me to work.. but today i managed enough energy to finish my stuff and ask my colleague if she need help with her project.

SG,
Think it is ok to drink bubble tea lah.... i was like having it a few times everyday when i was in taiwan, just before tested positive. Even now i drink whenever my husband buy for himself... he dont stop me one... hee hee.. on top of that, i buy myself a cup of teh-o once a week. Should be ok cos my colleague had a cup of teh-o every day when she was pregnant. She already give birth to 3 kids liao..

Asura,

Lenny,
What i read is that too much caffeine is equals to more than 3 cups of brewed coffee a day. Another of my colleague took a cup of coffee each day. Gynae also says that if it is not more a cup of coffee equivalent of caffeine a day, it is very safe. Think 1 cup of coffee = 3 cups of teh-o?

Yes..yes Asura, I also felt my energy coming back. During my 6-8 weeks, I refuse to get out of the house during weekends and have no mood to shop (was happy that I can save money). Always feel very tired.
But I feel more energised this week and I am begining to enjoy shopping again.
On the drinking of coffee and tea, my gynae said I can drink but not more than 1 cup a day. In fact, when I told her I had frequent headaches, she asked me to drink a cup of coffe or tea a day as the caffine will help to curb headache. But CANNOT take Panadol Extra as the caffine content is too high. If must take medication, I can only take the normal panadol.

Don't worry about our wt gain or wt lost , my 1st preg I gain about 18kg as appetite good no MS and baby turn out to be 3.1kg . Then 2nd preg , I lost wt in first trimester and total weight gain around 10kg and was worried that bb will be small but turn out to be 3.5kg so I think it's most impt the baby must absorb all the food we eat and not our weight gain .

Asura & Irene,
Thanks for the info on caffeine. i normally go for tea with milk or coffee with milk a cup a day and i only drink one cup every 3 or 4 days.
really carving for a cup of good tea with milk from Ah Kun kaya, Wang's cafe or killiney coffeeshop.
But i was told that caffeine content is very high in 1 can of coke..

Lenny,
I did make a check on coke with my gynae. Cos 2 weeks ago, i was drinking 2 cups of coke everyday. Gynae says 2 cups of coke = .5 cup of brewed coffee... so can continue drinking if that was the only thing that can help me with my MS. But hor.... 1 can of coke is almost 2 cups of coke.. so i think if really want to drink. Make sure max 2 cans of coke a day... since the recommended is to have at most 1 cup of brewed coffee a day.
