stretch marks are genetic. if you are prone to it, you will probably get it, even if you put cream. i am prone to stretch marks. even during puberty, when i was 'developing', i also got stretch marks. of course, during my last pregnancy, i got stretch marks everywhere - on my tummy, bum, back and even my breasts! but still, no harm applying cream, if it makes you feel better. i also started to apply cream cos my tummy is getting itchy...
gestational diabetes
i am also wary of GD cos i was borderline GD last time, and was recently diagnosed with insulin problems, making me more prone to GD for this pregnancy too. i am under the care of an endocrinologist (a diabetes specialist) and she advises me not just cut down on sugar, but especially cut down on carbs - rice, noodles, bread, pasta. Her recommended servings are 2 slices of bread, 3-4 tablespoons of rice, 1 small bowl of noodles.
Since so many mummies here are concerned about GD, I thought I would just pass this info along. Hope it helps!

echo - you are getting itchy already, wow that is quick! I didn't itch till like month 6/7 the last time. Wasn't v religious in slapping on stretch mark cream but thankfully no marks.
X - i am jealous too! Not because I cannot eat, but cos I don't want to overeat & gain too much weight too quickly within the 1st trimester!
jowinbaby - haha, i am petite & short. Can easily fit into the kids size clothes in US/UK/Australia. I think in 2 years time, when Kieran is about 4+, I can wear the same size T-shirts as him!
GD - I didn't get GD for #1, but towards the end, i had a borderline low iron count, so had to take additional iron pills.

Want to ask any gals here, do u feel very hungry but no appetite to eat? Is this considered morning sickness?
dreamy_gal

dunno but guess it's normal... nurse was telling me to drink more soup (eg. fish or chicken) if i have no appetite.
Hi Blue, I read an article and recommend us to lean abit forward to try to empty the bladders more to avoid the increase frequency of going to pee. As our uterus is expanding, it is pressing on the bladder which give us the urge to keep on peeing. Me too! But dun avoid drinking water as we need more than what we do b4 pregnant.
haha. talk about online shopping.. i spree and buy lots.. oops.
Drink 100plus can cure headache? This morning i had migraine.. and its like years i had it.. now its back again.
(X), ya,its liang.. the ai yu is ice jelly ma. The cocktail ice jelly we ate. Very liang one.
h.fgaga, i see. I am allergic to palmers product. Will itch..
overthemoon, yes. I on and off feel hungry. Dun eat, i will feel like puking. But no appetite to eat. MS come more in morning and night for me.

Tks gals, same here. I'd dun eat, my nausea is very bad n my stomach growls loudly. Bought porridge or noodle but can't finish cos it doesn't seem to be what I want to eat. I never have this problem before. I have very good appetite before this.
I also feel thirsty all the time. I used to like drinking plain water. Now, taste weird o me. I hope I am not imaging things. So I started drinking Ribena. But Ribena don't seem to satisy me.
Jowinbaby, my nausea comes in evening after work. During work time, I don't feel anything except I keep burping and my colleagues thought I got hiccups. I didn't ask gynae whether all these are considered normal during my 1st scan last sat. Cos only see a sac. Now waiting to c gynae 2 weeks later.

Hi overthemoon
haha. This is MS lor..For me, if no fresh air, i am nausea Those air-con food court, with the mixture of food smell, i also nausea. I also dislike plain water now. But i refrain from sweet drink, so i sip abit by bit. Our taste bud changes.
Try small meals instead of our regular meal time. It does help to curb the hungry growl. Cos once hungry , we nausea again.
Me too, only see a sac. Waiting for Heartbeat.
Blue, Yeah. most impt baby is healthy.

Morning all!
Steffy: Really glad that rest is doing you good, do rest more!
(X): now I feel like eating carrot cake, but there's no good carrot cake near me!
Overthemoon: my symptom is a bit like that, hungry but very particular about the taste of food so if the taste is not right, I won't be able to finish although I am still hungry. Currently, I snack frequently on wheatables and raisin bread.

Blue_Y: Abt the urge to pee more frequently, it's one sign of pregnancy. When we feel indications of pregnancy, it's a sign that our child is doing well.

Morning (X)!
Coyote: So glad you're able to eat zhu chang fen and yogurt, yay!
From my scan yesterday, my EDD is 31st dec 2011, can fall either way (2011 or 2012 bb!) Do you mind girls if I continue to hang out here?
Gynae can temporarily put as KKH Dr Quek Swee Chong, my location's in bishan.
Btw, learned something interesting from gynae yesterday. All fetuses at 9 weeks old are the same size, ard 2cm. That to some extent is the basis of how we are dated.

Wah interesting statistic, are bb normally born before edd or after, if you happen to know?
Haha, I don't know now whether I prefer my bb to be born in 2011 as the one with the least amt of development time before starting school, or to be born in 2012 in the highly competitive year of the dragon!
But I guess if I prefer normal delivery, I have no choice anyway, keke

Normally before EDD.
My gynae says the 1st scan is most accurate in predicting EDD. The subsequent ones, EDD may change, but he won't look at those. Coz foetus progress and grow at different pace and speed.
Like for my case, at week 33+, #1 was already a full term baby size. Still we kept him inside till Week 38 then c-sec.
