Carice,

I've changed the location to residing area.

Think I missed out the age column, had added in as well.
 
marpreggy: i only informed my manager and department head incase i keep getting mc... but after i told her she said she suspected it already LOL... btw i just got my hubby to buy 'chen pi' not very used to the smell initally when i got it but find it works quite well for me when i feel like vomitting and eat 1 piece. hee. thanks for the recommandation
 
marpreggy>> i have not released my preggy new to anyone on office yet. Planning to inform my boss after 12 weeks. Currently at 7 weeks.

just to share, I happened to fall sick at the start of pregnancy ( think at 2nd week) get into a bad cough till recently then just revocered. Duno know I was preggy then, visited 3 doctors for my cough… took cough syrup, flu and anticbotic also… I asked gynae if it will has any effects, gynae told me not to worry... yesterday i went to see gynae 2nd visit, supposed is this sat, but my MS is bad, till it make me wanna cough... and on wed evening, i vomitted water with blood... told gynae yesterday, he said i must have hurt my throat.. ask me drink more fluid, like soya milk if i dont like water... then gave me medicine for MS. one for nausea, one for gastric, and another white solution for night before bed... took them, and i feel lots better... more happier today... but dinno cos its friday today... hehe...
 
marpreggy : i have informed my boss because i am on mc for one week ... as for other colleague who ask me what happen ... i just say i am stress at work :p
 
JuniorMe: i also happend to fall sick during early stage when i din noe i was preggy, i took flu pills and some nose spray as i got nose infection that cause blood trace in my mucus. I stop the flu pill immed once i noe i was preggy and n nose spray too.. My GP say early stage still not so bad. but got to be careful not to take in more pills, as it will be absorbed by bb... i heard from my mom-in-law n fren's mom they say dun drink too much soya milk cos it will cause the leg to be weak... every drinks like grassjelly those to cool down heatyness de also better avoid.. not too much sweet drinks also cos bb might have alot of phlegm in future.
 
wenwen~ don't mention it.. that's what we are here for.. to share our experiences.. =)

JuniorMe & Carice~ but tummy is getting bigger everyday.. a bit hard to hide right? non of ur female colleagues suspect? coz usually i wear high heels to work.. but once i found out.. i change to flats.. & i'm kinda short.. so everyone is asking.. especially female colleagues..

actually i'm also down with flu.. but i dare not take the flu medicine.. scare will affect the bb.. but will my sneeze also affect bb?
 
marpreggy : few close friends know ... i do wear flat shoes to work so no one suspect ... erm i have a fat tummy so no one ever suspect ...
 
marpreggy: what my GP (who is a mom of 3) advise is to let it recover on its own without medication unless you want to check with your gynae if they have any medicine for flu that will not affect bb. i'm still having bit of flu now jus take fruits with more vitamin to let the body recover on its own.

anyone experience some kind of pain in the lower abdomen part? i am wearing tights today and dunno is it due to tightness of the tights i feel abit of pain on my lower abdomen part and it's worrying.
 
Wenwen,
just saw the list. You are so young ... hehe.

marpreggy,
I've yet to inform my boss too. Will probably do it next week or so.

I got the "chen pi" and it works pretty well for me too, thanks.
 
Wenwen,
I had some discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen on and off too. I read it could be due to the expansion of the uterus & etc ... as long as it's not too painful, it should be fine.

Carice,
good luck for your appt.

BB: hehe ya i am.. also cos my hubby 11years older den me so wana have kids early.. since i love kids i dun mind. i read it too.. as before i got preggy i had very bad pain on the left side of the womb and did a scan, the gynae i see then says that its ovaries cyst but not serious until i need to remove it so it's still there. hopefuly the pain is not caused by the cyst...
 
hey ladies, i got a question to ask.

if one day u are taking the mrt and seated in one of the seats and u are in the 1st trimester, and a mommy carrying a 5year old girl into the train and no one offer her a seat and another lady come up to u and say to you "hey miss you SHOULD be letting that mommy there seat on this seat" what will be your reaction and what would you do? you are in 1st trimester so likely no one will know you are preggy.. please comment thanks.
 
wenwen >> I would just be frank and say I need the seat too. After all 1st trimester is not heavy, but with m/s and aches and pains, I think it's reasonable to want to sit! Why the other lady "target" you anyway? So many other seats, so many other people!
 
Its very tiring. One 2010 after another 2012. Gonna get a helper maid at third trimester. Can't cope. These days weather hot and due to ms, i feel like I can intake ice drinks (green tea...) so much better than plain or ribena water. keke
 
tethysea: thats what i tot too, they should target at guys more than ladies, it doesnt mean one is young she is sure not needing the seat.. but i think the lady to target at me was scared/coward cos after she said such words to me she quickly alight from the train...
 
Beginning to find plain water hard to swallow...Surprisingly i find hot / warm water easier to drink than room temperature water...
 
wenwen
For me, I'll just replied that I'm pregnant and needed a seat due to ms but if she really wants it I can offer the seat but I won't guarantee that I won't puke all over her. *evil grin*
 
ladies...

i'm in my week 6 and visitng the gynae next week for scan... would we be able to detect the heartbeat already?

hubby is away on biz trip and hence i'll be seeing doc on my own... so feeling a little upset coz it's my 1st pregnancy...

plus since week 5 i have been having nagging stomach discomfort... like cramps yet not the toilet kind of pain... hmmmm...
 
also.. have you ladies been taking any milk for pregnant mums? i heard that i should but i hate milk... will drinkf for the sake of my little precious one..

what would u ladies recommend that is not too "milky"? hahaha... thanks in advance...
 
bb & wenwen~ i also have funny feeling down there.. i felt a bit numb just now.. not sure if it's because i cross my leg too much.. later will ask my gynae..

wenwen~ i also have cyst.. but janjan16 & adel mentioned that they too have cyst in their first pregnancy.. & their bb are both alright.. so i guess there's nothing to worry about now.. =)

starr_nn~ me too me too! now i drink only warm water.. my colleagues told me to drink warm water with a slice of lemon.. can ease the ms.. & i'm addicted to hot honey lemon water now.. haha..

hi darine~ i guess u should be able to listen to the heartbeat by week 6.. & i'll try to drink 1 glass of hl milk everyday if i rem.. haha.. but i heard we should start taking more milk now..
 
darine_gal >> i experienced the discomfort also like menses cramp like that... hmm... that time before knowing i am preggy, just before waiting for my menese to come, my HB and I did THAT thing, and i feel very cramp at my abodminal and i thought its my menses coming... right now, i do experiences it also esepecially if stay to long or walk too much.. its cramp will be more obvious... i asked gynae, and he said it okay, as long as no sharp pain and bleeding, its the expanding of the womb...
hmm.. at week 6 should see the blinking dot( heart beat) le... i saw mine at week 5 from virginal scan. the equipment does a matter too on the clearity... but i think at least can see the water sac..

wenwen>>for the soya, is it? is will cause weakness in the legs? my legs is it? i try to take moderately... i now even cut down my tea... green tea, chinese tea... i dont take le... slip a little little only if really want... i heard the grass jelly dont take... so no more koi tea or gong cha for me for the next few months...


ladies, have u taken any preggy milk powder yet? i got samples from gynae yesterday, tried the S26 this morning, got two other brands, cant remember nw... if any comments, let me know... hee...
i am at my early 30s and my first pregnancy... quite excited.. tell u, after taking the medicines from gynae i feel lots better... no choking feeling at my chest which cause me to keep coughing... i think i find a remedy for my MS le... LOL...
 
darine,
welcome!

Should be able to see hb at 6th week.

I'm not a "milk-believer", will take calcium in other form. :p


re: water
My friend taught me to use pandan leaves to boil water. The plain water tastes very fragrance and nice with the pandan smell. Can try for those that cannot stomach plain water.
 
marpreggy, i also have not disclosed to anyone yet... plan to do so after 1st tri too...

wenwen, i didn't know soya milk will cause weakness in legs... but i recalled i attended a pregnancy talk during my first pregnancy, the gynae said those soya milk at market doesn't help... we should drink those from supermarket and especially those which indicates high calcium... else, the usual market soya milk is just for taste only...
 
marpreggy (marpreggy)... i thot of HL for the convenience but worried about drinking cold stuff... dunno if physchologically... scared cold drinks 'trigger' my pains...

JuniorMe (juniorme)... same here... i had it for a whole week and i totally freak out.. coz already knew i was preggy with a blood test.. i was soooooo scared it might not be good.. but at that time bb too small for any scan... a little worried about etopic... so looking forward to seeing the scan on monday yet quite scared... dilemma...

BB (wiky).. thanks... i'm so glad i found this forum.. at least reading some of the affirmations soothes the jitters a little... calcium ie pills form? from gynae??
 
Hi Ladies,
back from the doc, at first he told me EDD is early Mar, now he said it may be last 2 days of Feb, hope i am still welcome here.

very excited to be able to see the heartbeat of bb for the first time.

JuniorMe, i also had terrible MS until got blood last night, and till now, only ate a few mouthfuls.

darine, I hate milk too, i've tried s26, enfamama, anmum, so far anmum choc flavour is not so rich and to my taste. maybe you can try that.
 
marpreggy>> i am working as an engineer so i mostly wear flat cover shoes... so nobody actually notice... and past one month cos of my bad cough, i keep coughing so when past one week i coughed due to MS, my collueagues thought i havent recovered... Hee

last weekends i went suntec and got some maternity pants and tops.. and some undergarments. the sale told me to wear those non wired bra during sleep which i dont to prevent the expanding busts from sagging sideways... and i unsure if its ture, and i brought and wore it since mon after washing...
i brought a bust cream also to apply after shower.. feel my busts very tight and fuller... i heard they will grow with the months... i better take care else after birth, i scared it will sagging...

i suggest we tabluted our name and our EDD so its easier to identify ourself?? shall i start first as below and the rest just follows:

1.JuniorMe 12 march
 
effie (effie).. hope u are feeling better after the visit to doc.. ur EDD is end Feb and u are seeing the bb's heart beat for the 1st time?? hmmmm.. thot by week 6 it should be detectable??

JuniorMe (juniorme).. hi there.. me too 1st pregnancy... so exciting.. haha.. everyday when i wake up.. though feeling not so good but my little hope in my tummy keeps me going! haha... do u actually walk slower now? hahah... sometimes i forget.. i run! there was once the nurse at the gynae saw me running and chided me! wahahaa.. i realized it would be a dragon bb! hahah..

BB (wiky)... hmmm.. me quite a fussy eater.. heehee.. so that's my problem!
 
darine_gal>> i scared of the virginal scan too... i did my first one with my female gynae.. i dont want but she said she needs to check to make sure BB is fine... and seeing she is lady i let her... her equipment is much better, very clear, can zoom in and out, can see heart beat very clear... yeseterday i went to the male gynae who is our final option.. cos this male gynae sounds more approaching, the female like more stern though friendly... the male kind of like more patient if we ask silly qtns...but his scan euipment more older, yesterday the scan not clear, and his stick to the virginal more thicker also... my next visit is 3 weeks time, hoping can see from tummy le...

i went to 3 gynaes to "interview" them before deciding...

effie>> maybe u can get some medicine from gynae... i need them and it helps me lots... if not, the nausea will cause me to cough... and really bad for my throat which i just recovered...
 
darine_gal: i heard from my friend to drink those pregnant mom milk powder too..

JuniorMe: the soya milk issue is old people saying, dunno how true but i heard it from 3 person saying it le my mom in law, my fren's mom n my grandma.. mayb jus take in moderate.
i am also thinking of buying some maternity pants and undergarments. think will go shop this sunday... cos most of my pants feels tight liao... sad sad..
 
darine_gal>> i used to do jogging and now i stopped... last sat went for swimming.. for 20mins... i tend to remind myself to walk more carefully step by step, probably slower... doing down the stair too...
ya... i feel amazing got a junior inside my tummy with me at work even nw...hehehee...
i took pics of my tummy last weekends... tomorrow going to start again... see it grows bigger...LOL
sometimes i will press press my tummy lightly to feel if it gets bigger... silly me...
 
darine>> my first visit, bladder only half full, so cannot see much. a bit worried, but now better.

juniorme>> the med works for me first time, then now it doesn't. thinking to buy some chen pi to try.

wenwen>> i also going to buy this sunday, all my pants are tight, so now only wear dresses.
 
bb~ hmm.. boil water with pandan leaves.. maybe i can try it..

darine~ i drink a small sip then let the milk stay in the mouth awhile to adapt to the temperature.. then i swallow.. so my stomach won't feel the coldness..
i'm also afraid that mine was etopic so i went for scan @ week 4.. the gynae is able to tell if it's etopic.. but the bb is too small.. so i can't see the hb yet..

JuniorMe~ i also need to get so new bra.. all my bras have wires.. feel so unconfortable wearing them..

wenwen~ i'm still wearing my old clothes.. but i don't button my pants & skirts anymore.. just wear longer tops to cover.. haha..
 
wenwen>> most of my current pants already just nice fitting... and now dunno previously i eat more before MS comes, my fats round my waist line making me cant breathe... so get some maternity pants to spare first last weekends...
 
marpreggy,
me too! I don't button my pants and skirts. I certainly hope the zips won't give way one of these days. :p
 
wenwen>> most of my current pants already just nice fitting... and now dunno previously i eat more before MS comes, my fats round my waist line making me cant breathe... so get some maternity pants to spare first last weekends...
 
LOL... last evening i wore a short with button one, after dinner, i need to unbottoned it, very tight for me... i saw my HB... and he went.. shorts need to get too if we see them in the weekends... so many things to get...
 
wah.. this thread is really active.. i'm away for 30 mins and so many of u are here.... dunno if it's happening or not but somehow feel my little bump already.. although only 6 weeks... heehee.. so blissful to just sayang my tummy.. hahaha...so silly me right...

where do u ladies get ur maternity stuff from? coz i'm very very petite.. so wondering if maternity clothes can fit me...
 
darine_gal>> i got mine from suntec level 3, the prefect mum….
There are many other maternity shops there…
I did a search and think suntec seems to have a few maternity shops…

And I went to this prefect mum… brought 3 pants, 8 tops, 1 dress and 7 bras and 4 undergarments..
Think will get maternity shorts for home wear and about it…
Can get others end of year…
The sale girl is friendly and told me all clothings I brought can wear till after birth…
Big investment on having a BB…


Wat plans u have gals for this fri evening?
I thinking going for soup spoon for dinner then bookstore.
Going to get some books on pregnancy… hee
 


effie: my dress is also tight can see my tummy aldy cos i keep eating when i feel hungry else i will feel like vomitting. actually my concern is that maternity clothes is expecsive so i still thinking how.. one of my gf is giving birth in mid aug. she wears maxi dress those till knee length so i think i will go look for those also.

darine_gal: i am also very petite so i have the same concern.

actually i really dunno what to prepare since this is my 1st pregnancy. my colleague ask me not to be so anxious so fast buy maternity clothes but i canot fit comfortable in my normal clothes le.

BB: i tried before last week, i wore my pants n din button but felt insecure cos i worry the zip will give way. hehe
