Evening mummies,
I am on a week's HL to rest due to my spotting and abdominal cramps. Gynae says I am about 7weeks+ but will only comfirm my EDD on my next checkup.
Clare:
Sorry to hear that. Please take care of yourself and rest more.
Starrymommy:
Yes it does. MS comes and go. For my #1, I only had it in the mornings when I wake up and some days. For #2 is worst coz it like never goes away. So no worries.
Re: Weight Gain
Some pple gain some pple lose in first tri. Shld be gain actually but coz some throw up too much so lose. If you lose too much or are worried, please see your gynae for a check though.
BabyTiger:
Bird's nest NOT advisable to be taken when you are in 1st trimester. For me, I get my bird's nest from a seafood and chinese delicacies supplier who supplies to hotels and chinese restaurants. I prefer her as she is a trusted source (relative) and I can be sure there is no bleach or unsuitable chemicals in the bird's nest. This is the greatest worry when consuming commercial bird's nest as I read that there are suppliers who use bleach to make their bird's nest white and look clean. They also use glue and gelatin to create the nest look from small pieces of bird's nest. In fact, if I am not wrong, a pregnant lady in Msia miscarriage coz of the bleach. Hence, I dun anyhow take bird's nest from any other sources. If you are buying, I think the plain ones ie. rock sugar or sugar free should be the safest. Mine is plain with rock sugar. And dun buy the "red" ones hor. Those "blood" bird's nest is actually not so good IMO.
Dun worry so much about MCs. The more you worry, the worst off you will be coz the stress will affect your bb. I have an aunt who MCs countless times... so many till we lost count but she is still a happy mother of 4 now. She close shop liaoz cos 4 enuff le lor.
Raindrops:
Yes its possible to have MS early, late or never. So just ignore the nonsense that your GP tells you.
Since you have eaten the eggs, dun think about it anymore. Just try to avoid for the rest of the pregnancy as totally cooked food is safer. I ate sashimi, climbed a volcano and even had a hot spring bath before I found out I was pregnant with #1. But she is doing well and fine too. So what is done is done. Dun think already.
Starrymommy:
Just to share, when I had my #1, I was also super worried about financial. Both hubs and I started working not that long before. However, friends always tell me that even our less well off parents and grandparents could have many children and afford it, so why can't we. Some expenditure are must haves but others are just extras that you can do without if you cannot afford it. For instance, a $200 stroller can be as good as a $800 stroller. Some early enrichment classes that cost 1K a month can be skipped if parents put in the effort to teach the child in other ways such as by bringing them out and experiencing life and nature. So dun worry too much. And no worries, the non first time mummies will definitely help share money saving tips when the time comes.
Etelle:
I am down with flu and cough. There are some medicines that are safe for pregnant women. Consult your gynae for some if you need. During my #1, I was so afraid to take the medicine from GP that I suffered for abt 3 weeks with flu and cough. Gynae scolded me and said that if turn to bronchitis or pneumonia is worst for bb. So I took her medicine and recovered. Just ensure that the medicine you take is safe for pregnant women.
Re: Weight gain
I gained 20kg during my #1. Lost all of it after delivery. Heehee. Breastfeeding really helps.
Re: Cruel Temptation
I'm watching too. Can't wait for the ending leh.
