yah by right is LMP but my cycle is all over the place so gynae use foetus size as rough gauge. cos if calculate from LMP i shld be 10 wks already.
 
im urs,

hope you're feeling better today.

mama to 5Js,

u must be really excited for your next visit. i think at wk 9 should be able to see the hands and legs budding?
 
mummies,
bleeding/spotting hv stopped... but having some pulling feeling in the stomach...
all i can do is sleep n eat... argh...
was thinking of walking out to get a birthday cake for my hubby... but think in the end, my dad is going to do that for me...
 
hi girls,

checking in real quick. Got question...

Wht is the brand of MS medication ur doc prescribe? is it over the counter?
 
Just scanning quickly thru the previous posts...

i m urs

Hope u're feeling better now. I understand by boredom of staying at home. But for the sake of BB, be good & patiently stay home for a few days ok? Hope ur results on Fri are good.

I got ulcers on my tongue now. Sigh.. Darned painful leh. Cannot eat properly the past few days, but I am so hungry! And I dun have MS, so cannot control eating. But every bite & chew is, like, ouch ouc ouch... sigh...

freesia

The stretching feeling is like.. got a bit of poking/pulling/tight feeling. Then sometimes it feels very very heavy, like got water balloon inside that is weighing the tummy down.

rach

Haha yeah, I agree too that we shd make ourselves feel better. As long as what we are doing isn't like totally harmful to the BB, then we can do lah!

Actually I seldom notice my "womanly" cycles, but just that TTC mah, & for some reason that time my left groin really hurt, so I concluded must be ovulation pain lah haha.

Heehee good good! A few more weeks we can have gathering liao. Meet up quick b4 I get really fat & ugly haha.

Helena

Is that true??? My gynae, frens, colls, & even the preg bk says that shd try to take folic acid or folic rich diet for the first tri also leh. Strange.. Anyway seems like the std dosage of folic acid is 5mg (or 5000mcg), but the recommended min dosage is something like 800mcg, if I rem correctly from the book.

hui chern

Hope u r better now & the bleeding has stopped. DId u go to see the gynae last nite?

lxlb

I dun have MS medication leh.

moojenn

Harlow, nice to see u here. Hmm.. I dun rem my gynae telling me anythng abt the water sac. She went straight into measuring the BB which was 3mm at 5 weeks 6 days. She said that was the correct size lor.

Are you one of the panel speakers in the channel U 'Woman on top" next week show ?
 
Hi Sep mtbs

Im a 2nd time MTB due in Sep 09. My 1st ger is already 26months old.

1st trimester is usually very "fragile", so for the mummies with slight bleeding, it's better to totally avoid cold drinks and take something warm instead.
For my 1st pregnancy, I totally avoid cold drinks and "liang" food till the end of my 2nd trimester. Better be safe than sorry, keke.
Also try to avoid walking around too much, take as much rest as possible.
Once 2nd trimester, then can "relax" abit and start to take tonics.

happy.gif

I've not posted here for some time already, been trying to catch up with so many posts since 1.5 weeks ago!

<font color="0077aa">tiffy</font>
I read about your emo roller-coaster and was laughing! you're so funny!

<font color="0077aa">kiki</font>
I went for my 2nd gynae appt on 28 Jan. He prescribed me with multi-vits and DHA le. And he also said continue with 5mg folic acid and my duphaston pills.

<font color="0077aa">mama to 5Js</font>
Wow, how I envy you, so many kids by your age. And painless when giving birth too!

This is my first pregnancy and I'm carrying twins. Abit worried also, since higher risk pregnancy. But I try to think positive at all times. Luckily now so far no morning sickness/vomitting and I can eat til I'm full and satisfied. But I try not to go hungry or the nausea will threaten to come.

Actually I asked my gynae about putting on weight in the first tri, as I was concerned since I put on about 4kg already now. He said not to worry, having twins is different than having singletons so he advised me to eat more, especially fruits and vegetables.

For info, I am now 9 weeks+ into my pregnancy

Wow, u can tahan not to have cold drinks til end of 2nd trimester last time. I cannot, somehow now I prefer cold drinks like Peel Fresh mangosteen juice and Ribena.

Should we really totally stay away from cold drinks?
 
whitey
so u r the one carrying twins. how fun right. esp fun when they are about 5-6 mths, sit tog, crawl tog etc... v cute!!

i put on 32kg during my twin preg can u believe it!! gynae kept nagging and nagging said its too much. but i didnt care just whacked and whacked food. then after delivery had a miserable time trying to lose all the excess 20 over kg of preg fats! i actually took one over year! gynae said even though its twins, pls dun eat for 3. abt 20kg is good enuf. but my boys were born v good weight. 3.1kg and 2.5kg at 38 weeks. so have fun ok!

<blockquote>I think should be no prob drinking cold drinks once in a while. Not every day lah but on very very hot days, a nice cool drink is very refreshing. If you're worried, maybe don't drink it straight from the fridge. Let the drink sit in room temperature for about 5min then drink lah.

hi witney,
Yes. Pls stop having cold drink as it is too cooling for our womb which is no gd. Somemore u r carrying twin. Better play safe.. Drink after 2nd trimester better. At least after 1st trimester..
Hi tiffy,
U r most welcome.. Glad of any help.
Hi ladies, seeing my gynea 2moro 4 my 1st scan finally. Very anxious and nervous.. Wish me luck.. Look 4ward to hear my bb heartbeat.. Until my neck long long liao..
 
can i juz check with you gals, how many times a night do you wake up to pee? cause i seem to need to pee many times (sometimes up to 3-4x) in the night and its so disruptive to my sleep.

very funny leh, i always thought that the need to pee at night part is only later when the belly gets much bigger. how come now so early stage start already. :/

so how about you gals?
 
tiffy

Haha reading abt ur emo outburst remibds me of mine. My hubby is also aws luffing at me abt it. He keeps asking me whether I'm gonna burst into tears tdy *hiaz*

whitey

Yeah I think bcoz u're having twisn, u will be putting on more than the rest of us who are only carrying one haha. Hey r u planning on having 2 kids only? If 2, then after this time can close shop liao. Wah I envy u leh haha.

ser

Hello &amp; congrats!

aiyoh u ppl got prenatal emotional outbursts ah, wait till u have postnatal ones. can cry and cry whole day haha!!

joanne
u only seeing gynae for first time? wah steady! i would have been v anxious already.

kiki
usually its first and last trimester need to pee v often. but funny thing this time for me not too bad. last time i can go toilet every hour! now only max twice at nite
 
mama to 5Js,

last time you need to go every hr? wah, like that how to sleep at night at all? was it when you were having your twins? double the weight keep pressing on your bladder.

i keep wondering how come theres so much pee. sometimes my bladder feels soooo full that it hurts slightly when i change sleeping position. so i got no choice i have to get out of my bed and head for the toilet in zombie mode.
 
mamato5

Huh? I dun wanna get post-natal blues wor. The pre-natal is bad enough, thanks very much haha.

haystack

Poor thing. Pat pat.. nvm the worst will be over in a few weeks.
 
<font color="ff0000">whitey</font>
well.. guess my hubby is mentally prepared la.. cos the 1st time we went to gynae..he did mention i may be very emotional..but its okie.. dun think I'm crazy... heeheee...but guess if hubby response can be more light-hearted rather den to start a fight will help alot la.. cos some hubby are very hot-tempered also.. wait both starts shouting at each other den its not good liao...

<font color="ff0000">joanne</font>
Bet u'll be very very happy to heart the pop pop pop sound wan.. kekeke...

<font color="ff0000">kiki</font>
me woke up at least 4X a night during my 6weeks but now better liao la.. about 2X.. den won't feel so hungry in the middle of the night too...


<font color="ff0000">mama5</font>
hahaha.. enjoy life until sekali got another surprise like this time again ar... hahaha.. but is it in the family gene huh for ur pregnancy of twins? its like twice in a roll u got twins.. ehehehee... i always think if i can settle 2 at once huh...den i close factory liao.. heheehe


<font color="ff0000">haysack</font>
try to drink some warm milo later lor.. take it slow ya..
 
kiki

If it hurts, go to the toilet. I have heard stories of how pple burst their bladders coz they hold their pee too long!!!!
 
tiffy,

how you're how many wks? i'm abt 7wks now. but my frequency of peeing seem to be increasing instead of decreasing leh. :/
 
this morning, i donated my breakfast. then afternoon, i took porridge. but still donate... so sad... no mood to work now
 
<font color="0077aa">mama to 5Js</font>
Wow, 32 kg is alot to put on. And your boys really weighed a goood weight each for twins. Envy you, can carry them right up til 38 weeks. Hope I can, too as I want them to be fully developed before they come out =)

And oh no, if it takes 1 year of discipline to shed off the excess weight... I dunno how. But now I'm abit more selfless, I told myself, all for the babies' well-being.

Yes, at this stage I like to imagine what life will be like when they're about a few months old...sleep together, play together. How cute!!

<font color="0077aa">Jul</font>
haha Actually for now, I think I will want more kids in future, maybe 1 or 2 more before hitting 35 I guess. But yet to experience labour and giving birth all, so see how la next time =)

<font color="0077aa">kiki</font>
I will not get up at night to pee, but when I wake up each morning, I will have to rush to toilet cos bladder feels so full! But during the day, sometimes I have to go twice within 5 mins le... I know, very irritating right. Also, with the clear discharge, now I start wearing pantyliners.

<font color="0077aa">Joanne</font>
Thanks for the advice, will let the cold drinks go down to about room temperature before I drink in future =)
And good luck for your scan tmrw, like finally! You and hubby must be really looking fwd to it! Think positively ok, dun be too anxious/nervous.

<font color="0077aa">haystack</font>
oh dear... maybe later when you can, try eat abit so you won't go hungry?
 
haystack,

maybe you try some cream crackers, i heard they help with MS.

whitey,

yeah, its very irritating, not to mention tiring. coz for me once i wake up, i got difficulty falling back asleep even though i'm very tired.
 
kiki
i also wonder why so much pee cos i dun drink that much before i sleep. but still abt 1am sure need to pee! so tired leh v disrupted sleep then if try to ignore bladder gets v full and painful cant sleep!

tiffy
actually i dun mind another pair of twins but no luck leh. gynae said only one heartbeat!

wanna share something with u gals. though im mommy of 5, but my 4th boy (born sept 2005) has gone to be with Jesus in nov 2005. he was 2 mths old then. was born with a congenital heart condition that went undetected throughout my whole preg till delivery he was ok. his condition was only diagnosed by another pd recommended by my frd. i brought him to her cos he was havg prolonged jaundice even at 1 mth old. but who know instead of the jaundice, its another more serious prob that we discovered. u can imagine my whole world crashed that day. he took his last breathe in my arms one fine afternoon. needless to say, i boycotted that pd who couldnt even told me whats wrong and instead told me my boy got reflux! i have since stuck with the 2nd pd for my gal and the rest of my kids now. was depressed for many weeks until one day God blessed me with another preg to comfort me, with the same edd as my boy. amazing right. they were born almost a year apart and now im expecting my 3rd sept baby!
 
<font color="ff6000">kiki</font>
I'm like 7 weeks 4 days now. Not peeing so much in the night...but day i pee alot lor.. juz now was telling my hubby that i wish i can put a potty beside me lor..so dun haveta keep walking to the toilet... its like my colleague will see me walking pass his room every 15mins! He sure thinking i got weak bladder!!

<font color="ff6000">Haystack</font>
mayb next time buy a pack of cereal &amp; put in the office... for me hor sometimes i really dun have appetite I'll munch the cereal.. buy those that got fruits in them la.. depending on u like sweeter taste or sourish taste lor.. i love that Nestle Fitnesse &amp; fruits.. &amp; I store alot of apples in office.. kekeke.. hungry juz munch an apple also can...No need to say really gotta eat 1 full meal.. take many small meals lor..

<font color="ff6000">mama5</font>
sorry to hear that... but in another way your baby didn't suffer too much &amp; most importantly he was really loved &amp; treasured. You are blessed &amp; he'll watch over his other siblings..
 
kiki

Really! Coz if the bladder v full, then u cough, or sneeze, or fall down, that will creat extra pressure &amp; the bladder will burst! So better keep gog toilet. Dun tolerate.

haystack

U got ask ur gynae for MS meds? They can give u something to make u feel better.

whitey

Actually I tot I wanted 3 kids. But now hor, maybe I might even stop at 1 haha.

oh dear, so sad to hear your story about your 4th boy. I am sorry to hear that. Not only were you blessed with another child soon after, you got a girl too.

And so glad that you're blessed with yet another one now. Enjoy your current pregnancy!!
 
Hi
May I know madarine orange considered "cooling" fruit?
Have been eating a lot of it during CNY.
Scared it might be too "liang" for preggie.
 


bryest

just saw your question on "no. of weeks, count from when" a few days ago. Actually I disagree with Jeslyn's reply.

In case you are still confused, what I understand from books and gynae, the standard way should be counted from the day of LMP (if you have a regular 28 day cycle). So by the time you test positive, you should be abt 4 weeks pregnant (but only 2 weeks from conception).

For me, my menstrual cycle is about 35 days but since I have been using the ovulation test kit, I roughly know when I conceive so gynae will add 2 weeks to the number of weeks since I conceived. For example, when I tested positive 2 weeks after conception, I should be considered 4 weeks pregnant already. This also matches the number of weeks calculated from the size of foetus in the scan so i guess it is industry norm. This way of calculation is confirmed by my gynae but I think I have also come across some people saying their gynaes just calculate from conception date.

I suggest you check with your gynae to confirm.
