Hi all mummy-to-be! I'm new to this forum. I'm now at my 10th week. Any of you have pain in your lower abdomen (just below the belly button)? For the past few days, I am feeling this muscle-ache kind of pain especially at night whenever i am changing my sitting/sleeping position. I thought I have pelvic inflammation but my gynae told me if i have pelvic inflammation then I wouldn't be pregnant.

Hi piggytoh,
My gynae did ultra scan for mi to make sure baby is alright. Then he told mi "if car is not spoilt then you won't go and repair it rite?"...farnie gynae. He told mi to look out for bleeding, if not some pain is normal. But I'm just puzzled that why the pain comes only at night.

Hi JJ,
I read from www.babycentre.com.sg that sleeping on the left is gd for the baby. This position will maximise blood flow and nutrients to baby and our kidneys can expel waste more efficiently which will reduce swelling. So I have been trying to sleep on the left with a soft pillow between my legs.

Hi Pinkraindrops,
this was taken from baby centre:
Why can't I get to sleep?
Surprised by your sudden insomnia? Could it be because you can't get comfortable, you need to pee constantly, have leg cramps, or are anxious about your baby's arrival? With such a big list of physical and emotional sleep disturbances to cope with, it's not surprising that 78 per cent of women have insomnia and other sleep problems during pregnancy! Some people believe that insomnia during pregnancy may be Nature's way of preparing you for for the inevitable lack of sleep you will cope with in the first few weeks and months of looking after a baby.
What can I do about it?
First and foremost, you should stop staring at the clock and becoming more and more anxious as the minutes tick by. Worrying about your lack of sleep will only compound the problem. Instead, start winding down before climbing into bed by relaxing in a warm bath, or, if you and your partner are in the mood, suggesting that he gives you a soothing massage. Or you could try a relaxation technique, such as progressive muscle relaxation or guided imagery, before you turn in for the night.
Before you get into bed, make sure your room is a comfortable temperature for sleeping. Is it dark and quiet enough? Heavy or dark-coloured curtains can help keep out unwanted light and noise. If you aren't asleep within what seems like half an hour after getting into bed, get up and go into another room. Read a magazine or listen to music until you feel drowsy, then get back into bed.
Above all, don't worry about not being able to sleep. Getting worked up about it will only exacerbate the problem -- and leave you feeling exhausted the next day. Of course, if you think you have a serious sleep disorder you should consult your doctor. In the meantime, remind yourself that insomnia may be frustrating, but during pregnancy, it's also normal.

Mrs chua,
tt gd actually going forward the Edd will be slightly diff depend on BB size so jus base on the Edd taken in ur first visit or scan ard 6-7 wk tt would be more accurate as BB sumtime grow faster sumtime will slowdown.. Usu MS will fully go away in wk 16 so it norm ..

Hi Mrs Chua,
Congrats, glad that everything went well for your DS scan. Seems like you are the first to go through it for April 2011 mummies. May your good news bring good news for everyone.

hi smiggleprincess
Poor thing...i also felt giddy on the train once during early weeks. I was either too hungry or the train too stuffy. So i also stepped out of the train and waited for my hubby to come fetch mi on the platform.
Now i will try to eat something before taking train home and always have sweets and fan in my bag. I hope time pass more quickly so that the MS will be over soon.

papaya dun cause jaundice.. in fact it not true yellow food cause jaundice for infant.. jaundice occurs when the infant liver is not mature enough to process bilirubin.. but it gd not to take papaya becos it contain many small worm not visible to eyes...
bearhugz,

Hi all,
I just went for my NT scan yesterday and bb is growing well and healthy. I'm at 11 weeks 5 days today. So excited to pass 1st trimester real soon!
We can also see my bb's gender too. It's a boy coz bb's was very cooperative. He even waved to us. haha...the feeling of seeing the strong heartbeat and healthy scans were just amazing.
Hi Piggytoh, can you please add me to the table?
Nick : Unome
EDD : 1st April 2011
Gynae : Dr Ang Huai Yan
Hosp : Mt. A
Is any mummy drinking prenatal formula milk? I just bot one from Malaysia - Anmum. I think it's much nicer that the Enfamama sample milk that was given by my gynae. I drink it every morning now. I also felt v giddy and heart racing fast one morning on the mrt. Had to step out at one station and sit to rest. Luckily i had dried raisins in my bag. So i suggest mummies to carry small snacks or biscuits in the bag just in case.

Hi elmo,
I think papaya is ok. Just don't overdose lor. Dunno about honeydew le. According to my gynae, all fruits are good but take everything in moderate.
My mum just told me she had alot of watermelon when she was carrying my elder sis. Coz had a watermelon plantation in front of her house! Sis still came out healthy.
I was offered MC by my gynae yesterday when i did the test. She said better save leave for next time. V nice of her but i already took half day leave. So I'm sure you can ask for one too.
