Hi Sharz,
I read that you were an ex-flight attendant b4. How many weeks into the pregnancy did you tender your resignation?
Hi other MTB,
Is it safe to have sex during the 1st trimester? What do you mean by 'spotting'? I have some yellowish discharge, is that considered spotting?
Sorry for being clueless.

Hi Komathi and mummymonkey, the traditional view is that you should let your emloyer know only after the first trimester. I think the reason is twofold: (1) very often, more often than we think, pregnancies end up in miscarriages in the first trimester (one statistic I read said 40%). (2) don't quote me on this but I think employers can't fire employees because of the pregnancy for a period 6 months before birth. That would mean the "safe" period starts approximately after the first trimester.
FlyingOwl, I'm not crew but I understand it is quite common for crew to try to hide their pregnancies until its obvious. That said, I think all the heavy lifting you do as crew can't be very good for the baby so if you do want the baby very much then it may be a good idea to stop flying.

Sherill, that sounds really bad. Poor you. Hang in there and hopefully it will all go away soon enough!
Fabiola and Komathi, agree best to wait but I must confess I've already told my boss because I was asked to travel and I didn't want to put baby in any type of risk. I made the assessment that she will be understanding, and I was right! I feel so blessed.

FlyingOwl,
Im not a flying crew. But understand from gynae that Alcoholic drinks and smoking (including passive smoke) are big NO-NO. You probably should stop drinking immediately first.
Spotting is little discharge of brown/red spots. So I guess your yello discharge should not be consider as spotting. You might want to book an appt with the gynae for a 1st checkup.

hi flying cow,
i suppose u r a flight attendant with our national carrier. I was with an amercian carrier. For my airline, we cld carry on with our job till we are into the 3rd mth of pregnancy. However, i requested to be put on no pay leave from 2nd mth onwards as i was having bad morning sickness. Like u then, i wasnt prepared to give up my flying lifestyle..i even cried when i knew i was pregnant when i tested positive in narita hotel. But when my girl was born, it was the best decision i have ever made. Even thot we have to push barcart and carry heavy luggage, my gynae did give me the clearance to fly. Its all up to individual but it wld be best to get your advice from your gynae.

mummy monkey : OIC ... if u have a beri on time menses then there is a high chance. My menses is 30 days cycle so once i missed meaning something good must have happen .... sometimes is too early to test .. wat brand of HPT did u use? clearblue is the best.
Fabiola : WOW 8 weeks can even hear the heart beat already.... i do feel ur excitment. My EDD shld be ard 22/1/2011 by calculation but have to see a gynae to confirm all this.

Told my boss and they were receptive. She was very happy for me as she is a mother herself. She said no one is indispensable, just have to handover my work when i leave. Sigh of relief!

hi all, need advice..
i am worried.. i had my preg test done at GP early this mth, it was positive at about week 5.. i have other symptoms like sore breast and tiredness at that time.. wanted to meet my gynae asap that time but the nurse said see at week 8.. 2 weeks passed, i feel like a normal person.. no more sore breast.. i feel as though i am not preg, no ms yet.. will it pose a danger? i have to wait for another 9 days to see gynae..
is there anyone feeling the same as me? or is it me who worried too much?

Whoami_ting, as long as there is no spotting or pain I think just count your lucky stars that you have no symptoms! If you feel worried call up your gynae again and ask if you can see her a week earlier? Or else the other thing I do is to do another urine test at home and compare the line with an earlier one and feel assured when it darkens, which is silly but I just do it since it makes me feel good - have already gone through 4 tests!
All, do you have difficulty sleeping? I know we should sleep on our left side but it doesn't help at all. I just feel frustrated at night and when I wrap myself in my duvet I feel claustrophobic and warm, when I stick some part of me out I feel cold and insecure, its like nothing's right and I toss and turn forever. Anyone experienced the same and any tips? I didn't used to have sleeping problems..
Going to the gynae tomorrow! Very excited, hope I'll be able to see the heartbeat, it'll be 6.5 weeks so just at the brink of possibly being able to see.

Mummy monkey, books I read say that sleeping on left will maximise bloodflow and flow of nutrients to the placenta and baby. So, that's the theoretical reason but may kick in only later in the pregnancy. Sleeping on left is supposed to be only marginally better than on right so if right feels more comfortable it may be better than being restless on left [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
babyziE, I must agree that the watson house brand is half the price and seems (to me) more efficient or at least equally so. Its also much faster.

babyziE, I'm going to my gynae tomorrow, don't really know my EDD cos my cycles are not completely regular so I don't really know how to use the online calculators, seem to vary quite a bit depending on cycle. Hopefully my gynae will tell me an EDD tomorrow but I'm in week 6.5. I couldn't wait to make an appointment with the gynae! You're so calm haha.. must be because its not your first time.
