Hi Mummies,
Been follow this thread but didnt post any message..
I am currently in my 8 weeks pregnancy, just went to my 1st visit on monday for check up, but sad to said during the stomach scan gynae said cant detect BB heartbeat, then suggested to do viginal scan, but still cant detect heartbeat..
He said by 8 weeks suppose can listen BB heartbeat..
Gynae send me to do blood test, Wednesday did another blood test again. The result showed my hormon did increased, but then didnt increase double the amount suppose to be..
My gynae suggest to give BB a chance, schedule me to do a detail scan on 13th to check if BB growing and check on the heartbeat again..
Now we are playing waiting games...hiazzz..

Val: Will be sending #1 to a daycare centre nearby and #2 my maid will take care when I go back to work, I'm aiming on taking 6 months off, 4 mths ML, 1 month no pay leave and I still have 22 days to clear [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] 6 months I think my maid will have no issues handling.
I see #1 getting spoilt already so this is a good thing [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Mummies, I had samsui chicken at the Soup restaurant last night, had it with generous amount of ginger, it seemed to help curb my nausea for the night. Feels good! Can try...

Why can't take during 1st trimester leh? there's no herbs in it leh.
i had that during my 1st trimester. Stop totally frm 2nd trimester on. AS far as I know, 1st trimester it basically nutrients for mummy, not baby leh. Baby only draw from our womb during first trimester, it's only during 2nd trimester on, that they starts drawing from the placenta. So by, then we should be more careful of what we take.

thanks for the tips.
Sometimes, I really can't trust these ppl, they tell you different things. I was told by the herbal shop assistant to take it. See what I mean?
It's my family tradition to take Korean Red Ginseng during 1st trimester leh! All my cousin, nieces nephews all born liao very rosy rosy one, body warm warm type, not scare of cold want leh.
What we do is use 2 small slices and put a 3 tbsp water, and let it steam in the rice cooker when the rice is 3/4 cooked. Den before dinner, just drink the extract. Once a week during 1st trimester. Den 2nd trimester, all stop totally liao.
I only know that during entire pregnancy can't take 'Tang Gui" or "lemongrass". That one confirm sure miscarriage.

Piggypatty (piggypatty) ,
my heart goes to you.
Do go for another checkup again.
Allow me to share mine, I had the similar experience previously. weak heartbeat, then no heartbeat.
went to do my D&C also. I was advise that if u drag too long, it will just collapse and deem as a "natural miscarriage" like menses.
Before i did my D&C , my gyane did another scan again. Take a few days to verify and not wait too long. really. It affected me emotionally and physically during that period.
I do pray for a miracle for u.

Audrey, just a thought la becos I don't have help from Mum or MIL on looking after the kids. If I were to send both to infant care, the fees are costly. The childcare in my area is ex, my location lor. Might as well stay home and spend time with them. Sigh, not doing justice to the many years I've spent behind books if I were to choose this path...
Tracy,
I found dr wong very smiley. can reassure me when i'm worried la. i tend to worry alot with my spotting. i took the prostegene jab on Wed. Cos i have phobia of injections and usually feel faint or blackout about 10 seconds aft the jab so she was quite worried when i turned white. but she still can smile. i saw her becos of good reviews of her in the forum. so far so good.
my spotting stopped completely since i've taken MC and stayed at home. guess i too "lao lei" at work already.

Val - I personally can't afford to be a SAHM now and I do enjoy working but your degree's not wasted you can teach your kids. I guess you should start saving [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Herbs and all that - I was told I can only take birds nest after the 3rd month, that's pretty much the only thing I took and I think it helped me 1. not get ill at all when I was pregnant with #1 2. perhaps helped with the stretchmarks BUT I went to see a doctor cos I sprained my wrist and he advised against it, said it's a waste of money and can cause allergies, so I just cut down.
But my favourite bak kut teh, the gyne said to limit, sigh. cos of the herbs.
And of course, coconut in my third month, loves it. But I drink once in a while now even, yum. I think it's true cos my #1 was born super clean, no funky smell (according to some dads).

Mrs Teng,
What is the purposes of taking of Korean Red Ginseng? For the baby or for expecting mother because of MS? My mum did mentioned that before but yet to take any action to make for me.

Mrs. Teng, I also have been drinking American Ginseng (Pao Sheng) and red dates (seedless) water. My mum's friend who gave birth to 3 kids said drink red dates water can prevent baby from getting Jaundice (yellow skin) and her kids came out all rosy rosy complexion one.. I also confused at times when some ppl say cannot take tonic during first trimester but the chinese practioner also advised my mum to make the Americal Ginseng for me.

found this answer online :
Beef or any red meat in moderation is perfectly fine when pregnant, although you need to ensure that all red meat is fully cooked so as not to get listeriosis (this can be found in raw meat).
Red meat will also help maintain and increase your iron levels, essential in supporting pregnancy and baby growth.
