Piggytoh,

Yah, I also think that 6 per day is too much.

Because the progesterone level is too low, that's why need to increase the dosage.

 

[piggytoh]

Sapphire,

since it becos of ur low progesterone level den shd be ok bah..

[tiger_baby]

Hi rapple and jtho.... Thanks thanks.

 

[mjmamaluv]

sapphire

thanks for the info. even mayonnaise? ive been eating mayo from mcdonalds like every other day cuz craving. and i thought tau huey drink is good for the body?



beary & eve, sorry about the news. do tk care n stay strong ya...



and whats the table for? a consolidated summary of all mommies to be?

 

[vine712]

actually if i recall correctly, the peak period for being merlion is 10 to 12th week (hopefully this does not scared those who already feeling very bad).



after this period ur body will "quiet" down and i recall i was quite paranoid as no way to determine if bb is ok until 4+ month when can finally feel the kicking.



so MS is actually quite "helpful" in some sense heee



btw i may go see gynae soon (originally planning to see only 7th weeks) coz just now see some spotting hmmmm

 

[picotin]

Pinkraindrops and Elmo, sorry to hear about the nausea and vomitting, can't imagine how awful that must be. My friend took the meds for it before as she was very dehydrated and had to be put on a drip. She was very reluctant to take it as the meds are Cat C, ie take only if you really have to. For me, I'm trying my best to stick with Cat A and Cat B drugs. I had to take a Cat B two weeks ago as there aren't really good antibiotics in Cat A. Discuss with your gynae and see what he or she says. At some point, the benefits may outweigh the risks even if we are talking about a Cat C drug. Take care.



And yes, I think Week 8 isn't the peak of symptoms sadly, more like Week 10-11. Sigh. Expecting my headaches and daytime fatigue to worsen. Though I know I am blessed not to have MS.

 

[picotin]

Beary and Eve, I'm really sorry for your loss. Please know that miscarriages aren't caused by smthg you did or did not do. V-Scans do not cause miscarriages. They just happen because smthg is not right.



The advice to have a mini-confinement is good. Natal Essentials can deliver confinement food to you for as short a period as three days, they only need one day's notice so if you phone them tomorrow, they can start on Tues.

 

[picotin]

WinWin, aiyoh so many here having spotting. Yes no harm going to see gynae a bit earlier. Maybe can consider progesterone supplements to support the preg. Take care!

 

[poohwee]

Hi hi,everyone. i jus tested +ve on friday. However, i have history of complicated preganacy with one ectopic and 2 miscarriages previously. Anyone can recommend good gyn who is good in such high rish pregnancy?

 

[elmolala]

morning all!

I am so tong ku today! Feel totally weak as yest din eat much. The trip on mrt is killing me. Halfway then got seat. Now forcing my breakfast in so i can have some energy. U know.. i got a sour feeling on my tongue. Everything also taste weird now. Yucks!



Thks Picotin for the explaination. Looks like i shd forgo the med then... since i did not actually vomit. Not dehydrated or anything... only totally no appetite.

 

[rapple01]

Morning!



Elmo...i also have that yucky taste now n then. Sometimes wonder if it will cause bad breath anot...make me very conscious at times when talking to pple. It doesnt help when my dentist (probably kiasi) wont wanna see me. Not only taste is affected during pregnancy. Eye sight as well. My optician refuses to see me during this period as well. Sigh...

 

[elmolala]

rapple.. i think only we ourselves can taste/smell the sour taste ba. i hope i got no bad breath!

 

[elmolala]

i finally finish squeezing food into my tummy! phew!

 

[picotin]

wee: congrats! Read online that some good gynaes to use for high risk pregnancies are Dr Peter Chew, Dr TC Chang, etc. Can do some research on the forum to see who other mummies recommend. Gd luck!



Elmo and rapple, I have that icky taste too! Drinking half a glass of orange juice really helps. Can try?

 

[elmolala]

picotin.. ya i like to drink fruit juice. But too lazy to go buy now. Gotta wait till lunch then go buy. Lunch also dunno wanna eat wat liao.. tong ku!

[lovekin]

Hi all,



I am new here...EDD also in April.



Lovekin

 

[jennette]

Dear mummies,



Didn't know cannot eat so many food, thought only avoid cold stuff and raw food will do... I just had half boiled eggs, peanuts, stingray during the weekends... any reasons for not eating them? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 

[piggytoh]

Jenn,

as mentioned earlier peanut will cause allergy to bb, no raw vegie n egg cos may have bateria.. and for stingray some old pp say bb skin will be no gd but some say stingray is v liang(cool).

 

[lovekin]

Hi Jenn,



My Gynae advised against half boiled egg never mentioned about the peanuts and stingray though.

My understanding is that in case the yolk is infected with bacteria, a fully cooked yolk would have killed all bacteria hence sfae for consumption.

 

[piggytoh]

lovekin,

peanuts u can jus google u can find liao but it is more common in western country but alot of mummies rather play safe for stingray it is more of hearsay..

 

[lovekin]

Thanks :> Piggytoh will google about the peanuts
