Ling,
those Duphaston will certainly trigger more MS symptoms, which is why my gynae din prescribe to me this time. I hv to eat some dry crackers or bread before i brush my teeth or drink anything every morning to curb the queasiness. Hv smaller but more frequent meals, actually not good to keep lying down cos food cant digest well, but in yr case, may hv to prop yrself higher with more pillows. After some trials n errors, u will notice some food tend to cause more problems for u, like in my case, will be cabbage and rice at night, and also no more food after 8pm. Cos i end up vomiting my rice and dinner even at 11pm.
For those who are scared off by the 1st tough pregnancy, mine happens to be the reverse. It was a breeze for me for my #1 throughout, slight MS even in 1st tri, not even with the homrmone pills, second tri even better cos dun feel pukey at all and tummy is still small, I think it helps that i din put on too much weight, except the last 1,2 months of pregnancy. And i also deliver on full term, in fact 5 days over my EDD.
But with #2, its a complete story. So there's a chance that yr subsequent one will be MS-free!
Isobellies,
yar u r right, those cabbage, beans, pulses, will cause more flatulence or wind.
Re: Ginger tea
I hv been taking the instant ginger tea with some hints of lemon or peppermint tea, works somewhat for me, so for a convenient fix, no harm trying.
