yeah. i wish this first tri faster over.. really getting lethargic everyday. lack of exercise.. and my hands are always numb when i sleep.. haha..
charmiq: hullo. astro here..
hmm.. think it would pick up during the second tri.. so called the honey moon period.. now our bodies are adjusting to fluctuating hormones to make the bb grow.. come second tri.. when preg is more stable.. and bb's job is just to grow larger and bigger.. less hormones per say is needed to make that happen. so when we react lesser to the hormones.. we less moody as well..
then third tri. more of tiredness and axiety to prepare for bb's birth..
what are u moody and worried about? i am ALWAYS having mood swings. haiz.

charmisg: i think its the hormones making u feel lousy at the moment.. maybe do simple exercise like stretching? or just walk around the house? oh.. i think do housework might help.. cos i did last night n i felt much better.. not so emotional also..
loke: ha.. i dun want to do anything! whole day just dragging my body to go meetings.. then when not meetings.. stuck at forum.. haiz..
hey.. next time write down a list of questions to ask before u go!
charmisq: my dear, it is normal.. our hormones are all haywired now.. so we get emotional from all kind of minute things which normally.. when we not preg.. wun affect us.. start on fish oil..to calm and support ur mood?
why is ur preg considered high risk?
mind letting me know? sorry i am relatively new.. so if u have repeated it before.. i have missed that

anyway, i also read that we should keep our body temp at a moderate level.. try not to stay under the hot sun or in a hot place... its not good if our body temp increase too much...

dreamygal: talking about heartbeat!!! hahhaa.. seeing gyne tmr morning!!! i'm excited again!!!
Astro: Yea, probably sometime this week, i'll go to a GP and try to whine my way through a MC.. hehe... My back is really killing me man
Nat: I've been reading "What to expect when you're expecting". Among the stacks of books lying beside my bed now, this is the best. It's like a reality check to me and so far is the only book that help manages our gan chiong feelings
Charmisg: *Hugs*.. Don't worry about being weepy. It's like that... i'm get the blues more than the joy right now. But i realized, if i keep myself occupied, time passes faster and i won't keep thinking blue.
Loke: All the best for your gynae's trip tomoro! I'm counting down to mine on sat. I'm practically watching the time passed by every second... and the wait can seem so long
Talking about work productivity.. i think i'm super low ...i have 3-4 deadlines, some of them passed already.. stress man.somehow, just can't zhen zhuo qi lai. Actually wanted to seek greener pastures end of last year. But economy bad and now with the baby, just hang in there and try to keep afloat.

Astro: You cannot add me on facebook? Maybe you give me your email instead. I try adding you? Or you want to try again. [email protected]. Am trying to locate from the table, can't find your nick leh. Trying to figure out how much 'newer' am I, compared to you? Hahaha....
Not too sure about you all, I have been taking so much MSG that I think my gynae is going to hang me for this...hahah...prawn crackers, potato chips and those Japanese Okashi, you name it I have it at home...No wonder constipation getting worse...going to take my prunes tomorrow...
I actually feel kind of cold these days...maybe it's because of the weird rainy weather at night. Initially for the last few weeks, body felt kind of hot..

i am finally home from work! siangjiao..you're not alone in busting deadlines. i just wrote a very apologetic note to my client explaining why i am delaying her so many x...feel very bad but like loke, stare at the screen and mind goes - - - ...
abt the blues, nat..and charmisg..i am hit left right centre with it. just cried for an itsy bitsy reason the other day..and feeling very low. it's scary actually. you feel like you are losing your personality and sense of control. it's almost like i've to fight this sense of despair. when you do a search on prenatal depression, it is then that you realise it is a condition that almost no one really talks abt but it is very real. even the "experts" are acknowledging that not enough is being done to address it. I am not saying I am a clinical case already but I certainly feel I am bordering that at times and it's vexing, tiring...futile to try to wrest control of the lowly feelings. For me, I think it is also set off in part by the earlier scare (spotting, bed rest ordered)..and the constant company of nausea. from being someone who's active at work etc, i am now almost a prisoner most times, at home. i can barely step into the office cos it is just not convenient for me to be constantly puking and i feel absolutely tired.
abt MCs..i think if you just tell your gynae you are not up to it, she will give you a blanket cover of 1 month. that way, whichever day you utilise / don't utilise, just inform HR to perform deductions. it's for this reason that i decided to tell some of my clients and my colleagues the reason behind my absence. only when they know, will they begin to rally behind you...
haha, and if you bothered to read so far, the reason too i love this forum now is that it really makes me feel all the more normal and it does bring my blood pressure down. i am sure we will make it but i just wished the journey wouldn''t be so tough!

during the weekend i was having this uncomfortable feeling of gas stuck in my chest and it was making me feel really uncomfortable. in the end i decided to do some housework to take my mind off it. After vacuuming the whole house....*BURPpp* hahahhaa, all the gas came out! maybe exercise will help to relieve gases? hmm....

My MIL has this habit of asking strangers up to the house! Pple whom she didnt even know! She always hearsay from her friend tat so and so is gd in massaging.. N she will ask tat person up to MY house and do the massage for her! The other time round was a lady.. But yesterday, it was an uncle! Hubby and i actually were not supposed to be home so early.. but went back earlier because of the rain.. Otherwise, it wld be her and that uncle alone. Also dunno tat uncle gd or not.. just invite him up. I especially dun feel comfortable in letting strangers in my house and know the inside out of my house so well! Am i too emotional or petty to be angry?
