morning all mummies! how was the weekend? I was sleeping away my days as usual, am wondering into my week 10 soon, will the MS ease itself soon...I really really can't endure the strange taste in my mouth and the nauseous feeling at the food..
Bread is my 'fav' food on the dinner list now..couldn't stomach anything else..
i'm off folic acid already, now on multi-vit Obimin and calcium pills.. pray everything goes well and bb is growing well for everyone!

micteo ~ it was good, can see baby's hb though its very small. but will need to see a dietian bcos i dun take veggies.... this time round doc is very careful as there might be a chance of preterm birth too. but i must say Dr Wee really makes me feel at home. My hubby likes him too.
Ladies, i put on 20kg during my first pregnancy ah! I forced myself to eat as baby wasn't growing well that time but that 20kg still did not go to baby. However I mananged to shed off 17kg after birth. So dun worry, can shed off one.
littledotty ~ thought folic is to be taken throughout the pregnancy?

Morning everyone
i had more cramps after being put on duphaston.. SO.. went back to gynae the next day and given a jab and put on utrogestan thrice daily!
haiz. was told utrogestan is stronger than duphaston.. sian.. now gotta complete this and then another week of duphaston till week 12.. *sian 1/2*
littledotty: i was told Obimin might worsen MS!
Hi Jas: were u given duphaston to help relax the womb to avoid the cramps? feeling better now?
re probabilty of getting 4 boys in a row
this one.. i seriously was thinking thru this scenario.. and i figured that the chances would not be the same as having 4 kids leh.. each time is 50 - 50 (but actually easier ot have boys than girls).. but overall probabilty needs to be computed using Bayes Theorem of conditional probability (my Doctorate friend said so.. so let's just believe him
i remembered drawing this probability tree before also.. didn't know then that was Bayes Theorem).. anyway.. a quick summay guide to see the overall proability.. yeah yeah yeah.. the power of the web!

Chloie: amnio has 0.03 chance of miscarriage
http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/amniocentesis?page=2
Candymix: amniocentesis has 99% chance of accuracy of determining the gender
read this?
<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>
How does amniocentesis detect baby gender?
The amniotic fluid extracted is analysed during a number of different tests including an examination of your baby’s chromosomes under a microscope. The chromosome analysis will clearly identify whether your baby is a boy or a girl as the 23rd chromosome pairing will either be XY or XX. An XY pair denotes a boy, whereas an XX pair is for a girl. The amniotic fluid is used because it contains cells that are shed from the baby’s skin, the amnion sac and also from the baby’s urinary tracts. All these cells will contain chromosomes that can be studied.
Other tests are conducted including a measurement of the quantity of a protein called alphafetoprotein. High quantities of this protein may indicate the presence of neural tube defects. This test of the quantity of alphafetoprotein will probably be conducted even if the test was taken to check chromosome health and confirm baby gender. Other tests can also be made that analyse DNA and enzyme presence to diagnose other possible genetic defects.
Results should be available within two weeks and possibly much sooner depending on the number of tests. All results will be sent directly to your doctor for their assessment before they schedule an appointment with you to discuss the findings.

re: weight
with each preg.. 10 kg stays on me.. though i put on average 11kg nia .. haiz.
so...
Zp1503: u gotta teach me how to lose that much weight.. hmm.. 15 kg would be good.. LOL
breastfeeding hur? i knwo and did that.. but still.. haiz..
now i am overweight.. haiz
folic acid is esp important during fri tri to avoid spina bifida (a neural defect).. babies with spina bifida would not surivive.. once first tri passed.. and bb scanned to be okay.. folic acid becomes juzt another vitamin which can be taken in our daily diet
so dun really need to keep taking that..
Zp1503: do u take eggs or beans? these are high in folic acid.

Hi Fifi.. that very good.. I so hope that I can get a gal too. My elder boy keep saying is a didi but when probe him more he want to have a mei mei he said he want.. but the first ans will keep saying is didi..
Heard le already 50% lost confident le haha.. I also heard that when you have bb gal your tummy will tends to be rounder and fuller if you have boy your placenta will be quite low and the tummy will be sharp. For my both boys my is quite low and is sharp.
I keep looking at my tummy though is not obvious but I start to keep aiming on it hahah..

moment: technically.. it is easier to get boys than girls! boys 51%, girls 49%.
but fear not.. let's remain positive.. we still have 47.7% of having a girl after two boys!.. though less than half (and i dunno why the link says after each boy the probability of getting a girl will decrease slightly)..

How i lost that 15kg? I worked it out, 4 times a week Mon-Thur & everytime for 2 hrs.
Oh yes, i do take eggs but not beans. Is there any different between folate & folic?

Hi astro...
Think we dont think too much.. just hope bb to be fine and healthy. Gender we just leave it to fate.. if really can't get it then also no choice le.
My hubby still tease me and said if this time can't get again then try for the 4th time..
With this morning sickness I don dare to think further.. plus my 2 boys sometimes was wondering I dunno how am I going to handle during my confinement itself.. really don dare to think of it..

Hate to look into the mirror now.

yes yes, i take milk. 2 times a day with Similac Mum. My office will be moving soon & i've heard that the new place have got a gym in the same building which makes me easier to work out after i return from maternity
Yes, i know baby will get confused but he was in the NICU for 1 month & there are windows there thus we thought that he would have known what is day & night, that time was really tiring... Can you imagine my hubby was carrying him & fell alseep with the baby almost falling down the chair!! Luckily i woke up to check on them and caught my baby. Have got a pic & that was so funny!

Ladies, I hva a questions with regards to milk.. is it better to take those powder form milk or fresh milk? I think i can still take in fresh milk.. powder form milk like abit bleh...
From what I know, maternal milk are very fattening. I putted on alot of weight from it. I start clear from it now. Fresh milk, ppl say need to drink lots of it to achieve the recommended intake requirement. So I drink fresh milk about every other day and take my daily supplement with calcium. So it's still up to individual.
If you find the powder form milk too blend, add in a bit of milo powder. It will taste good!

Gd morning.
Yup yup. I'm 10 wks 2 days and still feeling nauseated. Last night hb went to paint my son's table. End up the whole house got the paint smell. Really feel like puking!!!
I'm spotting again. Sigh. Light brown again. I seem to be only spotting on Sats. Urgh!! Plus my tummyache is back.
Effie, same same. My tummy hurts plus I m spotting. Seems to be tummy discomfort but not cramps (I hope). Take prunes to go to the loo. It helped me.
Ayana, how much did u pay for ur neurogain? Urs is the blue or the pink bottle? I paid $34 for the blue bottle. 3 yrs back was $27!!!

Chloie, Thanks for the advice... guess I'll hv to try it out... Milo powder with milk powder sounds like a pretty good alternative.. heeeh!

Ayana, the pink bottle is $43 if I dun rem wrongly. DHA amt is more compared to the blue bottle. My gynae hasn't started me on fish oil but I took neurogain from 6 wks onwards for my first so I thought I will do it by myself first.
Actually there is a diff btw calcium in pill form and in food form. Calcium in food form are more readily absorbed compared to those in pill form. Do if u dun wanna take maternal milk, can try those high calcium soya milk(market type don't count), tofu (2 boxes a day meets the requirement), tao gua, yoghurt or cheese.
. I nv had an issue with calcium or need pills cos I take a lot of milk (I drink children powder milk) and tofu daily.
and get sunshine! Haha!!

haiz.. yeap. i got bacterial infectio and hence the cramping and discharge/slight bleeding. am told to go back to get antibiotics.. haiz more pills to take. oh well..
piggywiggy: keep spoting and cramps..hey. go see gynae do a check. mine turns out to be an bacterial infection which is treatable with antibiotics prescrbed by the gynae.
moment: coz. having 4 boys straight is a 0.0623 chance and if i can hit that.. i shd be good enough to give out toto numbers liao!

Astro, unlikely that im having an infection. I'm on aspirin so will be prone to bleeds. Plus I'm not itchy or having smelly discharge. I notice that I tend to have tummyaches when I move my bowels! Strange but true. Anyway doc scanned me and told me I got old blood inside me so expect it to come out when I saw him 2 wks ago. If not red blood, don't have to see him.

Olivia: Yes yes gal, she put me off folic acid, said finish then take the obimin and calcium pills..so I nodded my head lo, tho I also thought folic must be eaten throughout preggy..and somemore only 30 pills which means eaten for a month only..
Astro: ARE you sure???? obimin worsens MS?? OMG, I hope it is not true gal, I tot by today I finish the duphaston, my MS will gradually ease..if obimin worsens MS, then tough times ahead..100 pills somemore..*bang head...
re: milk
really must drink those for pregnant mothers? I only drink magnolia low fat milk everyday...coz i heard the milk meant for mummies is really fattening..
