take great care ar! Hope everything will go fine ya..follow what ur gynae suggest. If u think u r still worry...den mayb get a 2nd opinion from another gynae.

Think so far for us new mummy...we can only try to be as obedient as possible lor... avoid coffee &amp; tea (drinks with caffeine cos caffeine increases risk of miscarriage), dun walk around too much, dun carry heavy things..&amp; dun have sex till u reach 2nd trimester, dun squat down too much like to wash clothes la..or scrub floor la.. all these are advises frm my gynae

<font color="ff6000">all mummies</font>
aiyo.. i juz read online that peanuts should be avoided during pregnancy also leh! that day i was still happily munching peanut tang yuan!!

extracted frm the net:

<font color="119911">Peanuts</font> – the Department of Health recommends that women should avoid eating peanuts during pregnancy and breastfeeding, especially if there is a family history of allergies such as asthma, eczema or hayfever.

 

[cho]

thanks tiffy!
gosh.. i juz drank pokka green tea..! tat considered too? haiz.. everything juz tastes so bland now..

n a few days ago i was muching on peanuts!!! when i went for loh hei!!! gosh.. ok.. i tink fr now on i'll juz stick to lying in bed..

how about ground nut soup? my mum boils ground nut + pork ribs soup for me.. is it safe?

 

[tiffyshyan]

<font color="ff6000">Cho</font>
hmm... seriously i also know abit dunno alot.. kekkee.. so i juz curb my crave (if i get any) &amp; eat those normal safe food lor.. most importantly is to eat less cold stuffs.. always eat cooked food..think as long as the soup doesn't have herbs things its still safe la.. at most skip the nuts lor..

Den if u like to eat fruits like me..avoid eating them cold frm fridge..let it warm abit like to room temperature den eat..its better..

My fren was telling me.. talk to your BB..even if its juz in your mind.. hahah.. like I'll always say to my "dou dou"before i go to bed... "grow healthily &amp; happily...got alot of pple &amp; toys waiting for u.."

 

[cho]

keke.. gosh, my gynae told me i can eat anything! even sashimi!! but only if e source is clean.. but better avoid la..

me too.. i oso "tok" to my baby..

 

[bryest]

does anybody know whether we can drink ginseng chicken soup? wat about the chicken from the soup?

 

[milkyway18]

did i read that we cant eat peanuts?? i had lots of peanuts that day when we went to the chinese restaurant for CNY dinner!! those steamed type which is at the table b4 the dishes are served... oh no... seems like we have lots of food to avoid!!

i was told no ginseng as well leh... or small amounts as mentioned by this website:
http://www.pregnancyandchildren.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_dangerous_herbs.htm

 

[bei_bei]

joanne..dun be too upset k.. yes believe in urself and sure in few months time u will be hearing good news again just like your friends.. hugz..

wish-to-be-mum, i am having the same prob as u.. sickness only comes at dinner.. so i dun have appetite for dinner at all!! i only ate plain porridge which guess no taste.. no everything is the best for me.. heard from some mommies here u can drink the self made ginger, lemon and honey drinks.. it works for me at some point.. at least i dun feel like vomitting anymore try it out and see if it works..

 

[babiesmeme]

Hi Joanne,
Sorry to hear that. You must be strong and stay positive.Perhaps you might want to do a blood test again or seek 2nd opinion from another gynae.

 

[kaira_32]

Hi cho,

I saw spotting ard 4plus this afternoon. So just now, quickly ask hb drive me down to kk24hr. Doc didn't give me jab just continue to take the hormone tablet. First time did scan and saw heartbeat. so cute

Anyone can advice what we can do to help with spotting beside bed rest. I'm in 5week very close to 6.

 

[sadz]

hi mamijoan, thks 4 ur long email and console.. It really helps me to understand better.. Now i can only feel better when see my son.. Else still feel very upset when alone.. Sigh.. Will be going to eys to take some chinese medicine to tiao my body 1st.. Hope i can conceive again soön.. Sigh..

 

[cho]

joanne: jiayou jiayou!!

kaira: i guess coz urs is spotting ba? mine was slightly more than spotting.. got me so worried!!

if u experience spotting again, mayb u wanna seek another gynae's opinion?

 

[crystalz]

joanne,

my mil just make some confinement food for me to eat... my gyne told me that i can try after my 1st menses is over... but i tried during the 2nd cycle and bingo! and gave birth to a girl in nov 07. so just make sure you rest well. or you can go to a reputable TCM to 'tiao' your body which i did too.

 

[kaira_32]

Hi cho
Cos I mc before also ard this time - 4th wk plus, that why worried, so went dwn kk. I also expect a jab, but that young doc didn't give , also neber increase my dosage . Only given 3 days mc. Next wk will get to see dr loh sf and see how.

Hi all
I'm still having pelvic back pain . feel it more especially getting out of bed. Did anyone experience it.. Although I'm only 5th wk plus , my tummy like 3 mth pregnant and boobs so swollen. How abt you mtbs, can see tummy already ?

 

[sadz]

hi crystalz,

At nite then my mum will prepare 4 me.. Really envious u.. I must try my best too.. Hope can be like u gals..

 

[darling_princess_wife]

joanne,
ur gynae nv give u hospitalisation leave or mc??

 

[cho]

hi kaira.. wow.. ur tummy grew so fast?
i'm at my 6th week.. (bb is ard 4 weeks old) but no tummy yet leh..

my weight keep fluctuating.. fr 46 to 47.3 then to 46 (if i dun eat anything) in a day! is tis normal?
b4 preg i used to be ard 46.5 or 47 at least..

alamak.. gt craving for mac breakfast today...

 

[whitefreesia]

joanne, i think your gynae should give you at least 1 week hospitalisation leave? If he doesn't, then i think you should request for a few days MC from him.

cho, how come you are at your 6th week but bb 4 weeks???

 

[cho]

6th week is calculated from my LMP.. but bb is 4 week coz bb is conceived 2 weeks after LMP..

tat's wat my gynae explained to me la.. so i dunno i considered 6weeks or 4 weeks preg.. haha

 

[whitefreesia]

Oh... i think we commonly refer to the weeks based on LMP here, i.e. 6 weeks.

When is your EDD?

 

[neoaix]

I'm 9weeks plus already got one belly quite obvious... my mum says its quite fast to see a belly... I'm still staying on the same weight... 52 to 52.5kg... already starting to give up wearing my jeans cuz all cannot button le... can only wear those elastic band pants...

 

[purpleclouds]

How big are your babies ar?
Mine at 6 weeks is 8.5mm. Is it considered an ok size?

 

[wifey]

hi bryest, no leh, my hubby was not in black tat day. I was sitting right outside WK Tan's rm while waiting. I was in her rm for quite some time, becos she was attending to s'things upstairs. My hubby went in only after WK Tan comes down.

This morning vomitted some of my b'fast, felt so weak after tat. Was worried might faint on my way to work. Now in office also no mood to work, so sleepy....

 

[kaira_32]

Hi cho &amp; casandra
I probably fatter bah.. thats why tummy more obvious... heehee ard 56 ~ 58kg.. I believe now fatter.. Ya lor . I think too early to be this big.. Cos I did IVF , IVF can cause to put on weight.

Cho, your weight quite ideal but I think u must eat lah.

Trying to find pants that tie with strings.. Those maternity shop sell very obiang clothes leh ..

 

[mamijoan]

Hi mummies,

what a difficult morning. Work up feeling hungry so had a cup of soya milk. Few minutes later, vomitted everything out. Then prepared to go to office. When reached office, guess stomach empty for too long so vomitted again and this time, all gastric juices. After that, went to have a bowl of noodles. Still feeling queasy and sleepy now.

Looking forward to seeing how much my baby has grown at gynae appt this afternoon. I should be 9 weeks now. Will probably ask for a few days MC to rest coz I'm quite sleep deprived for a preggie.

 

[tiffyshyan]

morning morning!! did a horrible wrong move this morning... washed my hair with my usual shampoo &amp; now feel like vomiting the moment i smell the "fragrance"! i wasn't like this when i last washed my hair the day b4 yesterday!Think now needa change shampoo liao...

<font color="aa00aa">Freesia</font>
next monday is also ur 1st visit to Dr wong is it?

 

[glass]

Hi all, I think I probably put on weight at the tummy, more because I did not exercise, rather than just the baby. Bought folic acid yesterday, and eating some omega supplement for pregnancy. I'm still waiting for my first appointment next week, so I'm just doing what I can.
I get aching thighs though, but not sure whether from high heels. Good thing is my boobs seem to be firmer.

Hi Mamijoan, Sigh, I can't take MCs at will, so even my appointment has to be carefully scheduled. I really lack sleep. Just feel tired the whole day.

 

[princessxiaomei]

Hi,
can i join in too?

I'm also a sept MTB.

 

[whitefreesia]

tiffy, yup, next Mon is my first visit to Dr Wong for this pregnancy. But i went to see Dr. woody at 4 weeks coz of my m/c history. Sianz, cannot even see waterbag then. But doc gave me duphaston.

Hope i can see heartbeat next Mon.... i will be close to 7 wks pregnant next week. My paranoid problem is getting worse each day... esp when i get the cramps at my lower abs.

I just realise eating sweets can help me curb my nauseousness. I was feeling so terrible in my hubby's car yesterday and decided to suck on a Ricola sweet. Hmm... it helps.

 

[tiffyshyan]

of cos.. welcome to the club princessxiaomei!

 

[new_mtb]

welcome, princessxiaomei.

 

[princessxiaomei]

wow!

very fast.

i feel so welcome. LOL~

Not sure if you do intro yourself before.

I'm almost into 8weeks now. Went for 1st visit and it's only 4mm when i was 5w1d. This saturday gonna have my 2nd check up. I wonder what will i be able to see.

i'm so BORED now.

Kinda scared too.

My MS was really bad in wk6-7. Now, not as bad. But still not much appetite. I realised i cannot eat anything that is SOUR, OILY! Else i will puke. I can only take very blend food. And i like sweet things now. I drink ribena EVERYDAY. I am so scare i have diabetes lor. -.-

Are most of you expecting #2?

 

[glass]

Hi tiffy, think I have the smell sensitivity too. I'm extremely sensitive to smells, so smells from the detergents my office is using are very offensive.

 

[glass]

hi princessxiaomei, it's my first one. On the contrary, sometimes I feel like eating sour stuff

 

[tiffyshyan]

<font color="aa00aa">Princessxiaomei</font>
me is 1st pregnancy... like u... i normally eat light &amp; bland...now that I'm preggie.. my diet become even more light.. simply turn off by oily &amp; spicy food... I'm very drawn to fruits..

 

[princessxiaomei]

[tiffy]

Same like me lor. Totally can't eat other food. Not much cravings either. Just that it simply turn me off.

I am so disiao. I knew i can't take sour taste food. YTD i have nothing to do, so i ate a piece of sour cream potato, i puke. Then 30mins later, i tried to eat curry puff (OILY), i also puke.

Only blend food never puke. -.-

Do you think this saturday i will be doing vscan again? I'm quite scared cos very ticklish. And i will be alone. So i'm scared.

 

[princessxiaomei]

[glass]
So far what have you been craving?

You're into how many weeks? When is your EDD?

I think very troublesome hor, keep repeating this. LOL! Maybe can put at the bottom each time we send. Then we will be reminded. LOL!

 

[jul_04]

Morning gals!

I just scanned thru the last few days' posts. Welcome to tne newbies like babybloom, princessxiaomei, bernice, etc.. sorry if I missed u out. Too many posts the last few days liao.

Joanne

I am so sorry to hear abt your news. Just to share that I had a m/c at 5 weeks, but I din go for D&amp;C. I just let my menses come. It was like heavy menses, with some cramps, &amp; blood clots. After that, I bathed everyday, but I did take things like black chkn soup once a week for abt 3 weeks. After that, everything cleared, so no need to D&amp;C. But if u wait for menses to clear, pls rem to get antibiotics from ur gynae. That is supposed to help prevent infection. When gynae told me no hope, she stopped my duphaston &amp; asked me to switch to the antibiotics immediately. Do take gd care of urself. *hugs*

 

[tiffyshyan]

hahaha... i also dunno leh... me will only be visitng the gynae for 2nd time next mon..

dun worry yourself la.. u won't be there alone wan mah.. at least got assuring gynae &amp; their nurses there... juz dun go start thinking about negative things.. BB will know wan...kekeke.. juz keep an open mind &amp; be happy lor.. like now..I'm totally barred frm horror, gruesome, sad movies.. can only watch comedies! but good also la.. laughing makes everything feels much better...

 

[cho]

[princessxiaomei]

[tiffy]
HAHA. the other time i did vscan on my 1st visit, i felt so ticklish. The nurse and the gynae laugh at me leh. Luckily i dont feel offended, i feel shy. hahaha. And when she insert the thing in, my leg almost kick the nurse face. LOL! Then the gynae has to keep telling me to put my butt down. Wahahaa... the gynae and the nurse keep laughing at me when they ask me questions... like so funny meh... wahahaha.. i also dont know.. maybe my face like cartoon lah... LOL!

i have been getting so tired lately. I need to sleep at least 10hours but cant.

Hmm... 8w1d do scan able to see if not from vscan mah.... anyone has any idea? LOL!

[Jul_luvs_babylet]
hello *wave*
>_<

[cho]

tmr gg watch benjamin buttons.. hmmm.. shld b ok la hor.. now watching more discovery channel shows.. haha.. hope bb can understand next time.. alt i tink it's too early..

 

[gladystey]

I also don't feel like to drink water, but i force myself to drink a bit lor...

 

[gladystey]

Anybody's gynae is at SGH?

 

[whitefreesia]

Congrats, princessxiaomei. You can see your bb at 5wks already ah? That's good!

I think 8wks don't have to do vscan already. Tummy scan will be obvious enough. But must drink more water to keep your bladder full before the scan.

 

[gladystey]

I will go for my 1st visit this coming Saturday. I keep on feeling very hungry, sensitive to smell as well..

 

[princessxiaomei]

[cho]
Hehe. I used to like water so much and i drink lots but not now. I will puke! All my favourite food is like my enemy now. >_< I really can digest blend food only.

i'm 2 weeks ahead of you?



few days back, my sis commented my hair why so red! And lately my 2-year-old nephew has been sticking to me like superglue. Everything i eat, he will eat. And always smile to me. He doesn't really do that to me. Cos he stick to my mum much more. But lately i don't know why. You think he knows i have a baby inside? LOL! And i'm the only one who is able to feed him. Even his mum or my mum feed him, he doesn't eat. Only when i do that, he finished everything! WIERD right.

Hmm... i haven't really have much cravings but i do wish to eat mac breakfast.. but dont know if can eat the egg in the muffin?

 

[gladystey]

I wish to have mac breakfast as well..

 

[princessxiaomei]

[wish]
Hello *wave*

Hmm... currently i am visiting my gynae at TPS but will be switching to another gynae later on. Will be switching to Dr Roger Heng.

You too will be visiting your gynae this saturday? Me too leh... hehe...

[Freesia]
Hi *wave*

hehee...

5w1d i did a vscan and saw the dot. 4mm loh. The vscan is not painful but ticklish. I think my gynae finds me like a little girl visiting the doctor. Keep laughing leh. Make me laugh also. =.=

Saturday will be next visit, think should be doing a scan too. Really can't wait to see what i can see or hear. LOL!

But according to KKh, they say must take urine test first mah.. which means i must pee. LOL! How to keep bladder full then? LOL! i drink about 600ml of ribena everyday, i am scare i will have diabetes leh. But i so thirsty yet cannot drink plain water. I don't know how also.

 

[cho]

i tink mayb all energy given to bb so bb gain wt but i lost weight.. weird.. even aft breakfast, i din gain any wt!! urgh!!
