Hi everyone! Just tested positive yesterday. This is ours first little one and my husband and I are absolutely thrilled.



Hopefully more mothers-to-be in Oct do join this thread. :)

 


helo happyenough!

i just tested +ve with Clearblue digital yesterday. this is my first preggie. so happy and excited.



but i dunno what the next step... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Pray&Love, that's great! We are in this together..due date will be almost the same time.



I think the next step is to see the gynae. Hopefully we have some 2nd time mothers to be to guide us along.



The advice given to me so far is to have no raw/uncooked food. Also certain types of fish such as marlin, swordfish is a big no no. Other fishes like tuna, cod is fine as long as its cooked. And to limit our intake of coffee and tea to one to two cups a day.



Share anything you got ya?

 
Happyenough,

when are you goin to book for your first appointment? which gynae will you visit? Im going back to my hometown, KL this 1st Feb for CNY by coach. Will take me about 5hours.



you have any MS? mine is morning abit like wanna puke, but nothing. then my cough not cure yet. about a week aredi.. besides that my nipples and breast sore since CD25 till now. cramp on and off sometimes, go washroom urine many times and at 3am.



there's a day recently, super tired and no energy to move. thinking maybe that's the day, the uterus lining is developing? haha just guessing.



Im so happy for both of us!

 
happyenough,

what's marlin? don anyhow eat cold stuffs, raw food/uncooked cannot eat. cannot eat liver oil, but eat omega fatty oil. cannot eat sharkfish,swordfish, tuna...



yeah we will share share together! so happy to have a buddy buddy.

Im going to HK in Feb and March too. thinking should i cancel the trip [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Hi minidiary, haven't seen one yet, felt too early, so far no one knows yet my hubby & I.



Can't back out now since all preparation for the trip being done.

 
I'm going Taiwan for 1 week, will fix appt once I'm back, by then there shall have heart beat, heard that some gyna won't see u till u are in yr 8 weeks

 
Pray& Love,

Yes..I am so happy for both of us. I have made an appointment with my gynae. But he is going on leave, so the next available slot is 16 Feb.



You are going back to KL on 1st? I am going back to Muar on the 1st as well. :)



At this moment, I have no MS. Only feeling tired and bloated sometimes. Hopefully, this will be the only symptoms till end of 9 months.



Welcome, rina and blanqq!

 
Blanqq- I have read many reports that advise no travelling in the first trimester. But yet, there are some that says its no problem.



Maybe you can call up your gynae's clinic to check first?



In fact, I have bought tickets to go to Indonesia end Feb, but I think I am going to be cautious and either change date or just forfeit the tickets.

 
happyenough,

which gynae you are looking at? Im thinking of TMC, but dunno which is good one. so good that your MS not much. I hope my MS will stop when i travel on 1feb till 7feb because don wan to let anyone know im preggie.



I have booked to HK from 10feb till 16feb. dunno should cancel or change date.

rina,

I have 2 HK travels in Feb and March, might cancel the recent one which is on 10th-16th feb. afraid of not safe le... because havent even consult any gynae. you see gynae so early? 7 feb? im not too sure when to see because alot of them said best to see after 6weeks onwards. how many weeks you're in now?



When you travel in March? Im going on 2-12th march, that's will be my 9-10weeks i think

 
Hi Pray&Love,



haha same here, am also having 2nd travel in March...also in my 9-10 week. i intend to ask gynae in my next visit in feb. the guideline in the internet says safer to travel 14 week onwards but till end 2nd trimester....skali deliver on the plane...

 
minidiary, i cant get an app on 7 feb... onli managed to get on 10 feb.. seeing gynea early is bcos, i had a mc in late 2008.. so scare same thing will happ so thot of seeing gynea first..

guava,

i don hope to cancel my march trip since feb will be cancelling soon... hope we have a good sticky pregnancy throughout we are flying!

 
Hi all!



I just went to see my gynae this morning cos I had some spotting/cramps. Did a scan but can't see anything yet. Anyway, the doctor did a blood test and my HCG levels are at 569. 2 more days and we would be able to see the sac and baby's heartbeat. So excited!



Dr also put me on pre-natal vitamins and Duphaston to stabilise the pregnancy since its my first and I am over 30. It was expensive - came up to $450!



I think I gotta save more. This is gonna be more expensive!

 
happyenough,

how come you can make appt so easy? i've called up some gynae today. some said fully booked..some said earlier 26th feb...



haih, my hb is not free, only free on sat. and all Sat fully taken. which gynae u see?

 
Pray&Love,

My appointment was scheduled on 16 Feb, but I got worried as I had some spotting and cramps so I called the clinic this morning.



They asked the dr and he said for me to come in, so I managed to see him today. Of course this is considered emergency consultation, so an additional $150 on top of the rest of the charges.



But ok for peace of mind and my gynae is really nice. He is Dr Ho from Mount Alvernia. :)

 
happyenough,

is it Dr Ho Hon Kwok? I read some review bout him also. quite good. How is the room in Mount Alvernia? Clean? and Comfort?

 
Pray& Love,



Yes that's right. He is really good and patient. Rooms in Mount Alvernia are clean and comfy. I stayed in a two bedded turned first class so even had 2 TVs to myself. :)



I am just a little worried about the charges. If I have to pay so much money for each visit, I am gonna wipe out my savings soon. Hahahhaa..

happyenough,

Hi Happyenough,

sorry i went to zzz just now. hee.

My gynae is Dr Adrian Woodworth.





Hi Pray&Love

Yea lor, hehee. i think must try to calm down...eat normally and balanced diet.



why not just drop by a gynae nearest to your place and let him take a look first? later can still change gynae mah.

 
guava,

this is my intention now. booked Dr Michele at AMK hub because she's available on Saturday 19th Feb. Then my hubby on leave on 28th Feb, will look for another male gynae. 2nd March will be my travel to HK aredi... so I think 28th Feb check again with male gynae for better confirmation...



hahaha guava, you also napping? Me too.. just wake up. Are you SAHM too?

 
Guava and Pray&Love, both are u are SAHM? So nice..I would like to zzz in my office now. Hahaha..



Thanks for letting us know about your gynae, Guava.



Pray&Love, I think your plan is good. See both and then share how you feel ok? As for the rooms, I knew cos I was warded in July last year for a stomach infection.



I have been comparing the prices and everyone has been paying 150 - 220 for first session. Mine was double! Sheesh...

 


Pray&Love



oh i see. so are you still travelling to Msia during CNY?



heehee yes, napped just now...but half working half resting cos went toilet 3 times this morning...so took MC today. me FTWM.



I wish i dont hav to work. so stressful at my workplace. prob i cannot stand not working..will go for parttime maybe? heehee havent decided yet.
