(2009/09) September 2009 MTBs


Hi, I been following this thread for quite some time...

I been having bearable stomach cramps since a couple of days ago... no spotting and not much discharge compare to when my menses is due..

been wanting to test but since I am only a week late, some of preggers frens advise to wait till im at least 2 weeks late.

yesterday after lunch feel like vomitting twice but end up nothing come out except for my saliva..

im scared to be disappointed again cos been ttcing for 6 months already.

advise pls... thanks...
 
cheekiangel... actually no harm taking a home pregnancy test mah...den it'll clear all your question marks...Greeat if result is positive... if not.. den can carry on with a mind at easse & relax.. den can carry on trying to conceive. But think woman's instinct is quite accurate wan leh...last time i also experienced late menses.. but only this time got that "aiyo... kena liao" feeling...
 
thanks tiffy..

yar i think so too... cos if im pregnant, then i guess need to be xtra careful and avoid drinking/eating certain things...

sometimes either my left or right breasts will be in pain... something like aching... but only for a while...
 
ya lor... like me that time still any how drink cough syrup cos i didn't really wanna accept the fact that I'm preggy mah...den refuse to do the test...den when my hubby finally convinced me & himself...we did the test..& got the positive result.. we start to worry lo..

hahaha.. honestly what i'm feeling now is like a whole prolonged, super long menstrual cycle juz without the blood thingy lor.. kekekek...den on top of that.. i become hungry super easily...& at night..a funny feeling.. like another heart in my abdomen beating wor.. kekeke..
 
yar at night also i will have this feeling... hard to describe... hheheheee

but i don have much appetite lately... especially dinner... if i don eat also ok cos i dont feel hungry...

but nowsdays my stomach always growling... like i could literally hear my stomach making 'noises' .... even after eating!!! hehehehe
 
new MTB : ya, after this morning's spotting, has decided not to do any more of this stuff again... i like to clean the toilet myself
happy.gif
just feel that maid/ husband dont do a good job.. hehe

cheekiangel: just do a test.. mine was late for 4 days and i brought a test kit to try and its positive
happy.gif
better to discover early so that we can be more careful..

btw.. can i asked if any mummies had c-sec for 1st delivery and then 2nd delivery by natural? Is it really not advisable?
 
thanks katherine...

yup... will test soon...

is it necessary to test with your first urine in the morning to get accurate results?
 
Nope, I did it after lunch
happy.gif
and it's a solid line.. although i have doubts abt the results cos I got the cheapest test kit I can find in watson :p but as tiffy says.. woman's instinct is quite accurate wan
 
thanks Katherine... appreciate it..

im going to log out now... need to run some errands for the office..

hopefuli could log in again later at home..

have a wonderful holiday and Happy Chinese New Year!
 
Katherine

Thanks! I'll go & kpo a bit later
happy.gif


Oh dear, u better rest more. Guess we really have to refrain from too much exertion these few weeks. I think maybe u shd see ur gynae to check that the BB is ok?

cheekiangel

Agree with Katherine. Better to test then if really positive, at least u can start being cvareful & refrian from strenous activites, dun drink alcohol etc etc.
 
rach

thanks for sharing your photo.

you're a sahm?

waiwai, denise & claire

i'm not sure if what i have is heartburn, but i think its more like a lot of gas. anyways, doc prescribed me some medication for it. but i try not to take it too often because i think too much medication may not be good for bb.

hui chern

cheer up ya! having a baby is a gift from above. some people try for very long and have to go through alot of difficulty to have one. you're blessed so don't feel so negative. if you have the WILL you can sort out anything.
happy.gif
jia you!!!

fatfat

if you're really suffering from insomania, you should let your doc know. i think its quite important for mtb to get good sleep. maybe doc can prescribe you something safe that can help you to sleep better.

i think my hair has been dropping more then usual too. i might cut it short if it worsens.

jul04

i think your hormones running amock liao. keke... that day i was telling my hb that if on some days i snap at him, pls forgive me in advance because there will come a time when my hormones run wild and i might become emotional too.
 
rach

thanks on the recommendation on dr koh, i already decided which gynae to change to already.
happy.gif


ytd, we went to see the other gynae, and this time i'm very happy and feel much more assured.
 
any ladies got nauseous in the middle of the night? ever since i got preggy.. I'll wake up in the night feeling so hungry...den feel giddy & nauseous...

now i gotta put this pack of cereal beside the bed so in case i woke up in the night feeling hungry..i can munch abit & get back to sleep...

also my gynae adviced not to drink coffee & tea when u r in the early stage of preganancy...it'll increase the risk of miscarriage.. so now..I lagi sleepy...no coffee somemore!
 
mama to 5Js

wow wow wow!! #6 for you?? congrats! you really amazing! so how many boys and girls?

i'm not sure if the rest of the ladies here are very young still... but i'm not :p but mine is only #1. hehe...

so i think you're considered the most 'senior' and experienced here, must guide us okie? hee...
 
katherine,

try not to over strain yourself. sometimes when scrubbing floors you tend to over exert so its not good. the first 3 mths are crucial mths, so try to rest more.
 
jul,

hehe..its good that he's laughing, shows that he understands at least. i think some 1st time daddys-to-be are quite clueless as to what the wife goes thru during pregnancy. they dunno what is hormones running amock. keke... so we have to educated them to be more 'understanding'.
 
tiffy

I tend to get that if I dun eat enough. Prob the gastric juice travelled up when we lay down. So I also have to stand by small munchies to stave off the hunger pangs. I also notice that when I let myself get too hungry b4 eating, I will get nauseous too.

kiki

I have been trying to make him read my preg book but to no avail *sigh*
 
tiffy,

i dun get nauseous in the middle of the night. but i do tend to get up in the middle of the night to pee now. how many wks are you at now?

yep, i read that putting some cereal or crackers next to the bed and eating some before you get out of bed can help to ease MS.
 
jul,

think asking your hb to read a book will be difficult if he's doesn't like to read type. some men might find these books very dry. for me, what i do is... when i read something in the book or an article in a baby mag, i will point it out to him. but my hb does read up baby stuff and pregnancy stuff on his own, so i'm quite happy that he wants to learn more too. but its driving me alittle insane sometimes, coz he's coming up with the 'this cannot eat, that cannot eat'.
 
hi kiki..I'm in my 7th week...& yea.. i pee alot too.. normally they machiam come as a package lo.. wake up pee..den get super hungry till cannot sleep... den if refuse to eat.. will feel nauseous & giddy...haha cos in the past I'm a small eater.. now eat even lesser.. but lots more meals la.. since i tends to get hungry every 30mins!

Babylet.. me sometimes get gastric discomfort lo.. so now scared liao.. no matter how lazy.. i'll at least wake up to drink milo lor...
 
kiki

My hubby the opposite. Cannot be bothered. But u're right. He's really not the reading sort. In fact, he spends more time looking at the preggie women photos in the bk! sigh... shang nao jing
 
tiffy

Yeah u must try to much at least a cracker to fill the tummy. So that the gastric juices have something to "eat", rather than eating ur stomach.

I also wake up to pee in the middle of the nite. sigh..
 
Thanks ladies for your encouragement. I'm trying to think positive now for the sake of bb.

I vomitted my breakfast today. It's horrible. But my stomach always feel so funny all the time. Before & after i eat i felt horrible. MS pls past soon.
 
hui chern

Oh dear. Have u tired taking many small meals? And snacking so that u dun get the chance to be hungry at all? My preg colls all say that helps, & a few of the mtbs here also advise the same thing. I find that it works for me too.

As for your job, dun think anymore. God will provide for your little sparrow

kiki
i've got 4 boys and 1 gal. my gal is my youngest so is the princess at home!! i started young, when all my freds were still partying, im at home feeding babies!

oh yes, who is the mtb who is expecting twins? how exciting! i could still remember during my 6 wks scan my gynae told me there were 2 heartbeats. i nearly fell off!
 
Jul 04

I still could'nt find snacks i like. Drink holicks sometimes. I not sure i'm hungry or bloated. Just had lunch & have that funni feeling again.

What are the snacks you eat, can share ?
 
I also feel bloated always.. and always feel horrible after meals.. think cant eat too full.. can only eat till not hungry then got to stop.. sob sob.. reunion dinner cant eat much liao...

And i stop drinking kopi.. now drinking milo till i go buy anmum to drink..
 
Hi kiki n babylet..

happy.gif


hopefully no more spotting by tmr, if not will go find gynae..
 
haiyo.. i dun mind all the peeing & hunger if after those "disturbance" i can get back to sleep...but I'm a light sleeper lo.. so normally it'll takes me hours b4 i can get back to sleep again..

huichern... my gynae did mention alot of ways to tackle MS... if urs is really making ur life very miserable.. u can go back to consult him/her...cos he mentioned about medication & even jabs to counter the MS wor..so far for mine.. taking small meals help..& eating whatever i felt like eating also makes me feel better... my food crave is fruits & veggies & fish...so practically gives me these 3 things.. my MS will behave liao.. hahha
 
dear katherine mama to be... u still wanna wait till tmr den see meh?? if its me..i sure scared till i peed on my pants liao lor... if can quickly go see ur gynae to be more relived ar..if not coming new year liao.. think gynae also holiday mood...
 
hi mummies,
i m pretty sian at work... cny coming and so many things to clear before we disappear for cny... argh...
to all mummies.. take gd care of urself and ur little ones k... its all worth it...
happy.gif
 
so far I wonder if gynae will advice on the same thing... lets share...my gynae said the 5 NO-NO... kekeke

1) NO carrying of heavy things

2) NO coffee & Tea (preferably no caffeine)

3) NO long duration of walking, if wanna
shop...gotta take a break & sit down say every
45mins

4) NO squatting down for like washing clothes or
scrubbing floor said that it puts alot of
pressure at the BB.

5) No Sex for the time being till BB stable..
*sob*

ladies got more to share?
 
Dear tiffy, I'm quite worried too.. but my bb is still very small, dont think the gynae cant advise anything too? At most tell me to rest more only?

It's common to have spotting right? For my 1st one, I had spotting for the 1st two months.. pls pray for me it'll stop by tonight and bb is safe n healthy k?

And my gynae say cannot eat 4 types of fishes -1) Shark ( including shark fin )
2) Tuna
3)swordfish
4) the fish that is used to make otah..
 
Katherine...
my gynae say... i can eat anything... coffee and tea cut down, max 1 cup a day...

Tiffy...
My gynae only advise:
dont carry heavy things and no sex...
sad.gif


Hoping everything is fine with the bb...
 
Hi muumies,

May I join this thread? I just came back from my first appointment with my gynae. This is my second baby.
happy.gif


Actually I'm currently based in HK so all my appointments are done here. I'll also give birth in HK. My EDD will be 11 Sep 2009.

Anyways, my gynae here is so funny. He said folic aid should be taken during pre-pregnancy. Taking it during pregnancy will not help. But I remember my gynae in S'pore giving me folic acid when I was pregnant with my first kid.
 
I'll pray for u kathy mama...u taking any medication to stabilize the BB? cos right now i'm taking folate & duphaston. Anyway... our thinking affects the BB... so try not to think negatively..see a gynae soonest u can lo..everything will go on fine la....

i m urs >> haaha.. dunno leh... my gynae is like a papa cos he is also much senior den me probably 40s.. kekek.. adviced alot..& he even explain y no coffee.. y no this & y no that.. kekeke.. makes u feel very secure when u go to him..feels like u r in good hands..

Helena... i only know folic acid is good for the BB's brain & spinal development lor.. mayb good to have it when u are planning.. den even better to have it when u preggie..
 
Hi everyone.

My EDD is 23 Sep 09.
Yesterday jus went to see a gynae. cost me $180 for a few mins consultation, plus scan plus urine test.

Anw i ate otah for yesterday dinner. ops ;p
 
Hi mummies,

I just got news of my pregnancy on 20th Jan (Sorry Typo lol)... Couldn't believe it too.

My EDD should be Mid Sept, now only 5 weeks.

Huishan, wow, that's expensive. which Gynae did u go to? I'm planning to go to TMC but have yet to fix a Gynae.
 
thanks all...ya hope my small BB inside is as strong as my gal
happy.gif

Not taking any medi yet cos my 1st chk up was on tue, gynae say will see me again next friday then give me supplements.

Helena.. read before that folic acid is good to take when planning, during pregnancy n even just after giving birth its good to continue taking for awhile

Huishan.. my 1st consultation cost $200+.. but cos i had a blood test for thyroid.. sob.. expensive but no choice.. as long as its good for the little one..
 
welcome all new MTBs...

Re: No sex...
ladies, the 1st and the last trimester is the most critical...so pls be careful while doing "it"...
 

Yes I do feel hungry and wake up a few times to peep, then go to work very tired! I also put on 2kg. I just bought MEJI Fresh milk and also Efagrow milk powder for pregnant women. I also have to take 6 hormones pills a day which make me sleepy hahaha ...I think i am a little bit kiasu
