Dovey >> Folic acid supposed to start 2-3 months before getting pregnant actually, so never too early to start! Don't take more than 1mg (1000mcg) dosage unless prescribed by your doc
jac >> Please go see gynae just in case! My fave gynae site says and I quote: "The bad news is, spotting in pregnancy is NOT normal. The good news is, it's usually caused by something harmless." So for peace of mind, better check with gynae!

Welcome Wenwen.
I've been having bad MS for these 2 weeks too. I think it's different for all. Some feel nausea before food, some after and some can eat certain food but some can't. You got to try and find some comfort food to ease the tummy.
For me, those plain crackers help alot. And I just started to take chicken essence this week, it did help alot with my MS and fatigue too. Best is drink warm on an empty stomach in the morning.

Mrs Carice: i used this BabyBump app on iphone and it says i'm 6 weeks Day 1 base on date of last menstrual period.
marpreggy: my problem is only when i smell ppl smoking, or bbq smell, like Ya Kun Toast those toast smell i will feel like vomitting too. My colleague who is preggy say is due bloatedness.. Will go find 'chen pi' can give it a try.
BB: for me is i must have my stomach filled, the moment i feel a little hungry i will wan to vomit. So i have the tedency to eat all day. i like frozen yogurt thou.
my MS was so bad on monday that i woke up tearing, and i havent been able to sleep well this days.. even woke up this morning in hunger and grab a bread eat and get somemore sleep.

wenwen >> Sour plums and plain toast are my best friends 
Don't let yourself get too hungry, and don't eat too full. Eat small meals. Anyway strong morning sickness means hormones are strong, so your bb is doing well!
jac >> Yellowish might be mucous lar. Don't worry, Saturday coming soon! My first appt is on Saturday too

wenwen~ ur days is EXACTLY the same as mine! i'm 6 weeks 2 days (using baby bump app too!) haha.
if u wake up feeling hungry. prob u can eat something before u sleep. like what bb says. i read somewhere saying that crackers can absorb the stomach acid. so u won't feel so hungry in the morning.

Agree. I was pregnant with my first son and had extreme ms in my first trimester and lost 7kg in 3 months and have to be admitted to hospital for water drip. One day can vommit at least 10 times and my throat burnt. Meiji plain cracker is probably the only food I can take... all other food made me nausea or puke totally. Also very sleepy. I trust the best way is to rest plentiful and drink ribena water or ginger drink if you can't hold plain water.
My son just turned 1 year... I'm now pregnant again term 7 weeks. Visited the gynae at 5+ weeks. He did the ultrascan and saw an area of bleeding on the womb beside the gestation sac. Something my gynae found unusal. However, no blood discharged at all. My pregnancy was unstable and had to take the utrogestan pill twice a day. My first one was healthy, full term and 3.69kg! I guess for this pregnancy I was really stressed/busy at work, carry heavy stuffs and anyhow take flu/cough medication. Missed a menstrual cycle and take it for granted. Well, I visited the gynae a week later when I was 6+ weeks, at least we could hear the heartbeat. Phew! We are pregnant woman so we should be careful, be cheerful and delegate much of the chore to the guy and rest more. Eat more fruits like kiwi. Sweet potato and brocoli. Avoid or moderate intake of pork liver in case you think this food will give you iron. Too much of it has adverse effect.
pamm: MS hv abit, not tat serious. which i'm quite worry as ppl say MS not serious ur baby might nt be tat active. haiz... so far the spotting have stop. mayb spotting is common in preg ba...
i will be seeing Dr Ang Huai Yan is refer from both my sis. she is their gynae too. u juz need to col up for appt & they will give u a date or u can request a date with them.

tethysea: i havent got a chance to buy sour plum as i don't have the energy to go out after work cos i will feel hungry n wanna eat... i canot eat too full or i will vomit, tried on the 1st day when i noe i was preggy, so now i eat small meals or when i am hungry, so i also end up eating all day.
marpreggy: i always do tat cos i will be hungry like 1 hr after my dinner den i will munch fruits and eat cracker before i sleep but i still have the same problem when i get up. i must say i have very strong stomach acid cos even b4 i was preggy if i eat my lunch too late i will feel like vomitting...

Jac,
Dr Ang is very good and her stitching is very good too. She performed key hole surgery for my 1st endormetrioisis cyst back in 2005 and now no one can tell that I had an op before.
She is not my gynae now cos I moved out of Raffles Place for a while but she is very nice. Just that her nurse is a little temperamental at times

LuthAdel >> The daily upper limit is supposed to be 1mg, but folic acid is water soluble so supposed to be that extra will be washed out of system. However, not much research has been done and apparently guys cannot eat too much. Mine is also 1600mcg a day, which is a bit over the suggested intake.
Jia >> How much is in one tablet?

I'm taking multi vits for pregnancy, and 1 pill contain 250ug of folic acid, so my total intake is 500ug per day.
500ug is 0.5mg, like abit low hor? Since recommeded folic acid for pregnant mum is 800ug to 1mg a day.
I tried taking 1mg tablets of folic acid initially, I ended up with a slight allergy with little bumps all over my neck, chest and back. so no choice, I have to moderate the folic content...doctor also told me allergy to folic is so rare, and I have to be one of them.. sigh

Hey mummies,
the number is getting more and we might have difficulties remembering who is who. Shall we do up a list?
