I read from one article that craving for things that are not Food items is actually a sign of "iron deficiency".
Thou Copper is not mentioned, but theirs is even worst.. detergent, clay.

pupsandcups: I felt so tortured by butt pain few weeks back. I ask Hb 'How did other woman overcome this butt pain?' Hb told me 'It will hurt til you are so use to it. By that time, you are already numb to the pain.'
Wow, i almost fainted. Go and get a few clothings, at least 1 to 2 size bigger.
I find it very demoralizing trying to squeeze in the old pants. I cant even bear to look at them.

WW>> this is my #2 and i truly don remb feeling this way during my first preg. every preg is truly different.
i'm quite cheapo, i think waste $$ buy pants a size bigger then only use a few months. im thinking of borrowing from my mom who is bigger than me heehee, hope she won feel offended.
my last preg i wasnt working in such a corporate firm. my current plc so corporate i really have to invest in maternity wear, cant jus wear nice cotton balloony clothes which i wore in my last preg. actually feel pants are uncomfy ... but wattodo my ofc too cold.
XOXO>> i read about this craving for non foods before too. if u reckon it is serious (ie not just passing phase) better tell your doc.
btw my edd is 1 nov, but i decided to stick to this thread
based on my last pregnancy, i gave birth 2 weeks early.
my hubby has been super understanding too but nothing he says can make my discomfort go away SIGH. also i think my son thinks im no fun already, whole day not playing only lying in bed ... sigh.
v emotionally fragile too. sensitive and take every little comment, remark or face as something negative.

hello all, morning! didn't log in on wkend as too tiring and just "nuan" on my bed oni.
Astro : me oreadi gettg breathless since few wks ago & especially when bloated. gynae say is normal. Just got to tahan
Happy belated birthday !
xoxo: glad u r back.same as u, i did not leave my hse to other place other than work. Been stucked at home for 2mths+ as simply too tiring to go anywhere. agree with astro that MS may take more than 12wks to go away. for my 1st one, my appetite & body only get better after around 16 or 18wks. Once passed the terror 1st trim stage, u will feel well enough to go out for shopping. However, when 3rd trim comes, we will feel tired again as there r water retentions with the legs and belly is gettg big n hard to move aro. etc.
pupsandcups : do take care

astro >> haiz..we two better stop thinking and thinking. anyway, with my pregnant brain, can't go far. sometimes when i think abt stuff halfway, i forget what i was thinking abt. anyway, new day, new morning..hope that today will be better..i'd be very thankful. yesterday night was hormonally horrible.
ww >> you know, this planning the food bit is tough. i feel very sian now, having to think of what to eat. what's your plans for today? maybe i can borrow your dietary inclinations..hehehe...
loke >> yah, the "car" is really stuck on first gear. cannot move fast but full of energy..on the wrong things! (like MS-ing)..i think i see the first signs of stretch marks on my butt. but too damn wasted to care abt it now. tried some stretch mark oil..but had rashes..so forget it..

pupsandcups >> thanks! i didn't know it was a sign. i have anaemia even b4 i am preggers..seeing my gynae on the 20th, guess i will have to tell her then. meanwhile, better load on the spinach...really weird..haiz, feeling out of sorts all over! the EDD changes all the time doesn't it? at first mine's 8 Oct, at the recent checkup at the hospital, my gynae says, looks like it will be 14 oct..two days later, it's changed again, back to original EDD. I am so blur...i concur with you abt the extreme tiredness and the hypersensitivity..to share a line from godot >> "I can't go on, I will go on..I can't go on, I must go on.." guess that's what this forum is really for..for kindred souls..
Ong >> this first tri is really terrifying. i am so battle scarred now i think persuading me to do no 2, if at all, will be very tough. did you say 16-18 weeks?? i thought 13 weeks would be better already??? *despair*

precious moments>>> same!!! only experienced in last tri. sighs
good morning gals...
Sorry had been a super busy weekend, so didn't really have time to catch up online.
Yesterday went to IT fair from 1-6 pm.. Came home peng san and my back almost broke. Bought a camera and mp4 for my mum. So many freaking people;everyone was pulling their printers/TVs over my feet lor (you know cash and carry, so a free trolley is given). Pek Chek. Worse than chinese new year eve in chinatown.
Xoxo: Hope you are feeling better now. Try to cheer up okie? *hugs for you* + *hugs to your little one*
MS wise, pretty much under control. 2 witching times of the day, 11 am and 4 pm, where i feel nasueous, but if i eat a little food i'm fine. I used to be an egg lover, but now all kinds i eggs, i absolutely hate especially steamed eggs.
No butt pain, but i noticed these bluish veins radiating on my thighs now. I hope this is not the beginning of varicose veins.
They say preggers will want to pee often, but i don't seem to have the need to pee leh... anyone feeling the same?

morning mommies,
just for sharing, for those who have already "outgrow" their pants, you can try getting some at Morton Bell. They have outlets at vivo and novena square. currently they are having sale at 15% ~ 30% off, but no sure for how long though... i bought 3 pairs of pants and 1 skirt, and they are really super comfy...

hi all..
slow start to the day.. bluesy and sitting alone in the canteen.. gosh. *turned and looked around*.. it is really just me alone on this floor!
loke: thank thanks for finding out for me.. appreciates the effort..
pups: erm. i shortened ur nick again.. to just pups.. hope u dun mind
ur balloony cottoony clothes sound so comfortable.. like u i just started work.. so i think i need something more formal also.. sian to think of that.. none of the maternity wear i see... formal kinds are nice..haiz.. i prefer the spring maternity type.. light and cheery!
and hor.. i am with u with regards to sensitivity leh. already sensitive before preg. now worse.. just got turned off by two comments via office emails.. haiz.. anyway.. guess it is my mood also.. last night didn't sleep well. i dunno why. coz i just get irritated coz the quilt is so 'hard' to pull over to my side.. coz my hb sleeping on it with his weight.. and i got all flustered.. and started 'jabbing' my hb to give up the quilt to me!
poor man.. last time with teng... he doesn't have to go thru all this.. i told him.. he was already lucky the first time round! thanks goodness he is patient.. if i were him.. i would have scremed.. and my boy.. woke up in the middle of the night and went 'mama'.. 'toothy'.. 'hello nana!'.. 'blue train'.. 'out out!' 'take off pants' (in chinese).. etc.. haiz.. and he did that for a long time! almost an hour! i tried ignoring him.. he just laid there and babble to himself incoherently.. and started throwing his pillows out of the cot at me.. and started laughing and giggling! haiz.. i am zombified now..
ong: really ah? haiz. sian. really have to tahan then
.. loke and I were talking abuot Eno.. but her experience tells us that it is not recommended.. let' wait for her to come back with new info..
xoxo: haiz.. ya. this thread is really for kindred souls lah.. sometimes i dun feel as heard as i am over at the other thread.. understandly so.. coz the preg 'craze' died down (many of them were preg and have given birth before me and qq).. so now talking about other things lah.. hey. the EDD .. wun be 'finalised' till very later on one lah..
erm.. can u take beef? ok.. this one is not as relvent not.. but i read that spinach is high in o (something ) acid. that restricts either the intake of folic or inhibits preg.. i cannot remember which one.. if it is the second.. then ignore it lah. but if the first.. might be more advisable to take ur iron frm meat..
spinach contains non-heme iron.. as with all the beans and dark leafy veg.. so to absort the non-heme iron. u need vit c hor.. need citrus things to help the absorption...

xoxo : nt necessary end at 13wks as everyone is unique to their own. some will be 16wks or more. whereas i heard some fren having ms throughout the 9mths. got to depend on luck i guess.
siaojiao : i do pee very often at nite. at least 4 or 5 times a nite. sometimes could be just little bit but u simply feel the urge to pee. some ppl may experience it only on 3rd tri . for my 1st one, i dun pee that often compare to now. *signs*

siangjiao: ya! me too! on both the eggs and the veins part. i couldn't live without eggs last time and now any sort of egg makes me want to run for the toilet. and i noticed since last 2 weeks that i have these huge blue veins on my thighs. quite gross. dunno why
xoxo: hang in there! the worst should already be over for u. try not to worry too much. have faith that our bodies and babies are stronger than we think.
maybe you could try taking a pre-natal multi vit ( i take the one from GNC called pre-natal formula) to help with your metal cravings
nausea update: at least i dun feel nauseous 24/7 nowadays but abt once or twice a day i will suddenly puke things out. usually at night

Why ur teng wans to take off pant in the middle of the night? Is he at the stage of diaperless training.. tat he wants to pee?
Maybe you could tell ur doctor of your sleepless night, so that he can let u rest for a day or 2 at home.

Oxalic acid can prevent absorbtion of iron and Calcim
I had done a search from internet regarding this, it mentioned Spinach is good when eaten in Raw form, ie spinach juice. (but tot we cannot take "raw food")
Cooking of Spinach will spoil its organic form" and with that the oxalic acid will be harmful to us.

mrs neo: so far have not read anything too bad about it so i think should be fine bah. But must make sure its well washed, as they often have sand trapped in the leaves and stems.
Here's something i got online about it:
exceptionally rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lutein, and also contains quercetin, a phytochemical with Antioxidant properties. Spinach is rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly folate (folic acid), Vitamin K, magnesium, and manganese; it also contains more Protein than most vegetables.
