Hi mummies

Thanks for your input. I've also added another column in my spreadsheet on where u stay so maybe easier for us to meet up in future? hehe...so pls update here if u haven provide me with this info.

Baby_MAY - My gynae only asked me to take folic acid as he say it shd be sufficient. I always have constipation problem even be4 preggy and i always take prune juice which helps at times. During my last pregnancy, my constipation was so bad that i even asked my gynae to prescribe med to move my bowels! Though i drink tons of water, but doesnt seem to help me..sigh..try to take prune juice, might work for u...

Tiny_M - I also feel very hungry at times but when i walk to the foodcourt, just have the nausea feeling and will stand there for 10min, just duno what to buy to eat. All didn't seem appetising to me. sianz...now i do crave for fast food though and soft drinks! super unhealthy!

9+1+5 - haha..let's see whether our 2nd one will be born on the same day or also 10 days apart

 

[piggy_cow]

adv_sports - All the best for your check-up this afternoon. Keep us posted ya?

Jen - Is your #1 a boy or gal?

 

[hoonie]

[tiny_m]

piggy, i crave for fast food too!!! No appetite for rice but just wanna eat burger! I was also tempted to eat Burger King last night (cos OT, didn't go home for dinner) but controlled myself and settled for subway instead. the other day, my mum cooked dinner with lots of good dishes but i no appetite to eat at all. then after two hours, ask my hubby to buy mac for me. now i craving for egg mcmuffin! think i'll be very fat very soon!

adv_sports: i usually feel like puking after dinner. i threw up twice last night but water only. morn usually v hungry. my hubby v worried said must ask doc why i opposite of other ppl.. sour plums usually work for me. i buy those small strips from "mei wu".

[piggy_cow]

</font>.

 

[adv_sports]

congrads JRTlover

piggy cow, thanks... need the assurance from gynae that bb is ok!

[hoonie]

PiggyCow,

Jen and I are neighbours.

Ya. I was so blur lor. Keeping asking my gynae where is the blinking heartbeat till he zoom in to the sac... haha....He lets us hear the heartbeat too.

 

[hoonie]

Thanks adv sports!

I am consider quite lucky lor. Not serious MS,just the puky feeling when I eat too much.Ribena really works when you feel like puking or feeling stuffy at the chest.

Ya ya... I love fast food too... Actually, I am a junk food lover.. haha...

 

[piggy_cow]

JRTlover,

Wow, so cool! neighbours? haha...it is always good to have frens who are pregnant at the same time as u so got loads to share but well, this forum is another place for us to share info as well too

 

[jen_bibi]

JRT - welcome!!

[jen_bibi]

[hoonie]

Tell me about it man.. I have gained at least 3kg from before testing +ve...

Time to exercise with my precious JRT liao....

 

[bean_bean]

Hello JRTlover and Jen!
So nice both of you got company!

Agree totally that ribena helps in MS. I always have a good feeling after drinking ribena. I usually take it with my lunch though. For breakfast, I still insist on drinking milk.

I notice that some of you are starting on multi-vit already? How come my gynae says we should not take any extra vit (except folic) till after our first trimester?

 

[gks_mummy]

hihi thanks piggy cow!!!

Here's my info:
1. EDD: 06th May 09
2. Name of Gynae: Dr. Cheng JP
3. Delivery Hospital: Mt A
4. No of pregnancy: #3
6. Location : Toa Payoh

heyhey i noticed that a lot of us may be delivering on near the same day!! WOOHOOOO hope to meet u guys in the hospital....

btw with the melamine scare, i really very worried cos I've consumed 2 glasses of meiji milk.... anyone knows is it affected???

bean, I've been taking Pramilet (Multi Vit) from Abbot... gynae says that its necessary so as to replenish the minerals and vits that we didn't consume in our daily intake of food...

thks adv_sports for the intro!!! will make sure hubby also read later hahahha!!another gd book to intro to all which i've been reading since 1st preg is "WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING". A comprehensive monthly update of what to expect and what to do when problem arises. Introduced to tis bk by my AH LAO...he turn to this bk everytime I have problems hahahah

 

[gks_mummy]

to all mummies with constipation problems

its best to settle your constipation problems throu the natural way. during my 2 pregnancies, I had very serious constipation and relied on the method my gynae teach me which is to consume jap sweet potato(just steam and eat with skin), prunes and plum juice. this year, I had prolaptic haemmaroids(bleeding piles) and had to undergo operation at Mt A. My surgeon told me that in order to counter constipation, we can take cod liver oil as its a natural lubricant for our intestines and true enough for my current pregnancy *cross fingers* nothing so far.... do check out this following site and hope its useful!!
http://www.thehealthcarecenter.com/mineral_oil_for_constipation.html

 

[xue_ni]

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> bean,
i had multi-vit and folic acid from 1st tri for my #1. currently im having multi-vit too. din heard of what you had said "we should not take any extra vit (except folic) till after our first trimester" mayb u can check with the rest of the mummies here...

andrina,
read from yahoo news tt Melamine is not known to cause deformities in unborn infants. and adults and children can take in certain amt of melamine everyday. u may want to refer to the link.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080924/tap-917-ava-moh-says-low-melamine-levels-231650b.html</font>.

 

[piggy_cow]

I also only take folic acid..my gynae never prescribe additional vitamins for my 1st pregnancy too. He told me that our daily intake of food is good enough if we take moderate everyday so not to worry. So i also didn't take any calcium tablets etc during my 1st pregancy but i do take 1 glass of milk every morning so i guess that shd be enough...

 

[hoonie]

Gals,

I have been reading this. This is interesting esp for 1st time MTB like me!

[baby512angel]

Hi Piggy_Cow

My #1 bb is also 11 days apart from your baby. ( 11 Jun 05).

Here's my info:
1. EDD: TBC
2. Name of Gynae: Dr. Tan Kim Teng
3. Delivery Hospital: KKH
4. No of pregnancy: #2
6. Location : Jurong

 

[baby_may_09]

My gynae is the one who prescribe me with multi vits.

Hi Gina,
Are you sure pregnant lady can take cod liver oil? I read somewhere that though omega is good, but we shouldn't get from liver as liver is high in vit. A, which we should not have too much of. Maybe you should check with your gynae. I also drinking Meji milk. I read the bottle and it says from Thailand. Should be ok since Thailand produce their own milk. Meji ice cream is the one affected, probably they are made in China.

Re: weight gain
I gained 3kg within 1 month from when my first visit to the gynae. I also think that I put on too much weight, but no choice, always seems to be hungry.

 

[piggy_cow]

Hi Baby512Angel

Wow, so your #1 is only 1 day apart from 9+1+5's #1! Haha...so qiao hor? keke...

 

[baby512angel]

Piggy_cow,
Is your #1 a girl or boy?

9+1+5,
Is your #1 a girl or boy?

 

[mssuhaila]

Hi gals &amp; piggy_cow,

[baby512angel]

Hi 9+5+1,

OIC.

My MS is getting very bad now.. Whatever i eat, i will puke out after half an hour. Any advice?

 

[piggy_cow]

Jen - I take folic acid in the morning

Baby512Angel - Oh no...is there anything u like to eat? prob u can try taking that after ur meals to make u feel better? I know some of the mummies take ribena over here. It is not good to puke all out after you eat. I used to have a ex-colleague who had MS so bad that she needs to be put on drip cos she is throwing too much. U take care ya? Try to think of happy things after u eat. Sometimes i do feel that MS seems to be psychological leh

At times when i am very busy, i dun even feel sick at all! But when i am too free or suddenly think of something unpleasant to smell or eat, the nausea feeling will come back! funny rite?

 

[bean_bean]

Hey baby512angel,

You should go to your gynae and ask for advise on this. Hope she can prescribe you something that works on your MS.

Meanwhile, maybe you can drink Ribena after food. I think Ribena works for me. So maybe you can give it a try.

Take good care!

 

[flower81]

hi baby512angel, agree wif piggy_cow, try to thnk of happy things. i oso will feel nausea or watever, then i keep telling myself, is psychological effect. dun think too much. it did help sometimes. to mi, mayb eat wat u feel like eating. mayb it will help?

 

[3wkold]

WOW so many posting....

i not sure whether my EDD is in May or not....

yesterday went to polyclinic said i m ard 6-7wks.

but i suspect i m just 3-4wks only...cos i know roughly know the strike date. now i m afraid it may be etopic pregnancy...cos my back pains.

anyone like me ..so confused?

baby512angel:
me also KKH, actually wanted to choose Dr KT Tan too but she does not consult during evening, then my hubby is working on Sat....so no choice choose Dr Yeap Min Li....1st appt next week

 

[3wkold]

JRTlover,
the website is great! Thanks for sharing.

 

[gks_mummy]

hihi xue_ni thanks for the link... now i feel better!! HEhe.... initially such a big scare.

baby may 09 checked with gynae and he told me that its ok to take it once a day. i'm taking it personally everyday too... found that its really working well haha

3wkold, not to worry la back pains is natural cos when u are pregnant, back bones are actually expanding and pulling to accomodate space for your uterus growth. Ectopic is when you find that u suffer very bad cramps on one side of your tummy, spotting and when the doc scans, he can't find anything inside your womb. Ectopic only happens 1 in 100 pregnancy. Do not worry!! God bless!!

My ms seems to be whole day sickness...oh dear starting @new work place soon
