rach: Thanks for your advice. Yah, my breasts has been pretty tender for the past 3 weeks. So far, the nausea is still manageable. My hubby is very worried though. This is our first try. I keep telling him that it's quite normal but he still pretty worried about me. Now I'm excused from mopping the floor and carrying heavy stuff.
Haven't been spotting yet, thank God. Though I experienced some cramps when I got too agitated scolding my students. Then I tried to relax and calm down, the cramps went away. Sigh...
I've been taking folic acid since dec 08 cos we were intending to try for a child. Now, I'm making a conscious effort to drink more milk. I read in another post that fresh milk is better than the powdered ones for mothers cos there's less trans fat. Dunno whether it's true. But fresh milk is pretty $$. So I'm alternating between fresh and powdered. I'm wondering whether I should just take calcium pills and forget about the milk. If I drink too much milk, won't I get extremely fat during my pregnancy? Then, won't it be very difficult to slim down after that.

mama to 5Js> no... only Malays give birth to that many nowadays.. hahaha... chinese usually dun..
hahahha..... but love kids must have the means to provide for them too.. its not easy.. sigh.. i'm having my 1st..and i think its gonna be a challenge already.....

Do what u can. Sometimes with MS, it's hard to control what to eat. Just try to be as healthy as u can lor.
I asked gynae for clcium pills, then hubby told me not to take. He bot me soy milk instead. I can't talke milk as I'm lactose intolerant. If not, I will drink HL liao.

Now, I'm looking around for a gynae. Read quite a bit about Dr Ho from TMC. Heard his stitching is 'painless'. But I don't know whether I'll feel comfortable with a male gynae.

I also drink Nutrisoy. I find that's the best tasting brand liao. The rest, wah liew, cannot drink one *ugh ugh* How much do u drink? I only drink a cup every 2 days.
new mtb

Ok I m gog off to bathe & rest. Chat later

No lah, this is my 3rd. Will take a break after this bb pops, coz all csec. Hb n i initially wanted 4, but I suppose it may be hard to achieve since csec
The good thing is, my gynae said he's delivered up to the 5th child by csec before, so I know he's experienced at multiple csec deliveries.

babiesmeme, i think i am 4 weeks + pregnant. Haven't seen a gynae yet, so not very sure.
Ladies, i had a sudden stomach cramp last night. It was very fast, lasted less than 1 minute but was quite painful. No spotting though... anybody experience this before?

<blockquote>I think it's ok for the first 2 trimesters. You can refer to this website http://www.babycenter.com.sg/pregnancy/travel/seatbeltexpert/.
But please remember to drive safety, slowly and carefully. However, most of my friends stop driving in their last trimester as their tummy is quite big already and the air bag may injure the baby. In your last trimester, try to sit behind the driver. It's supposed to be the safest seat.
